Heres a suggestion for the barn yard, I have been in excavating for 40 years and I would use what we call RCA its recycled concrete that has gone thru a crusher its cheap and once you grade it off and go over it with a good sized dirt roller ( compactor) it becomes hard as a rock!
Yeah that's a good idea... I've used ash out of coal power plants, there's bottom ash and top ash (don't remember which is which ATM-- one is white powdery ash and the other is black glassy ash almost like sandblasting medium) and when that stuff is spread, packed, and gets rained on a few times it sets up like concrete. Local concrete places sell "washout" which is literally the stuff they wash out of the trucks when they're done hauling concrete, and it sets up and they run a crawler over it and break it up into fine stuff and sell to dump on driveways and stuff like that. Works great and it's cheap... OL J R :)
Hannah impresses me more every time I see her and its always the little things. When she helped hook up the spreader she told Ryan which way to move the wheel of the tractor to get the proper alignment. That's cool.
Yes sir that totally was the best part of the video, she didn’t even hesitate and didn’t tell him to pull up and move over, she knew what it would take.
Just found your channel...We rent a farm house in Durant Iowa but we are by no means farmers. Needless you say we have a couple family farms located around us. One family farms as well has raises hogs so my wife has had to get used to that smell, I tell her that it smells like money. Your channel has helped me to understand farming life. We most definitely learned to respect farmers more living around them. Thanks for the education and be safe.
VERY happy to see you didn't get hurt, you are very lucky. The 4020 isn't heavy enough for that work with that weight. Safety FIRST !!! New tyres are indeed an extra bill but you do need them now. Thx for sharing and have a nice day! Greetings from Belgium
Glad you're OK Ryan w/ no equipment damage. I've slid down hills before w/ a 15' bat wing mower. No fun at all. People don't realize how scary it is until it happens to them. It's also amazing how fast you pick up speed once you break traction.
Hello good video. Easy for me to say since I'm sitting here at the kitchen table watching. Speaking from experience go back down that hill again. Learn what happens so you can control the slide. Dont panic Somtimes pushing in the clutch helps then your tires are not sliding continue rolling and steer it under control just a thought. I've been there headed down a hill towards the creek just steered it under control. Have a great day.
Ryan, Oh my Gosh- that looked bad. I had the same thing happen to me hauling Large Bales, I was coming down a small hill that had dew on the grass. The trailer pushed me down the hill and jack knifed the trailer almost flipping my tractor. I was shaky the rest of the day. I am glad you are ok, machines can be fixed/replaced, but you can't my friend. Be Safe and God Bless.
I am glad you’re fine and there was no damage to tractor or the spreader. I just took a ride similar to yours yesterday. I was backing down a very small slope sideways and I was pulling a trailer with gravel on it and it pulled the tractor so quickly and jackknifed the trailer. I was surprised on how fast it happened. I thought the load I had was very light because it was less than half of what the trailer can handle but it sure pulled me down the slope. The worst part is that the tractor didn’t had a rollover bar it’s an old 1981 Ford 6600 and since it’s only 2WD it only has breaks on the big wheels. After it pulled me backwards I was able to get out of there driving forward with no help. So I turned around to go down on the slope facing forward this time on a low gear trying to use the gear to go down the slope but the trailer pushed me back again since the slope was sideways a d down the wheel on the higher side slide on the grass like butter but it was safer than backing like I did before. I went for a second load of gravel with the trailer almost full (around 3 tons of gravel) but I went down the slope only facing down straight on first gear and I didn’t need the breaks, a combination of the low gear and low rpms slowed the tractor and load beautifully. I was putting gravel on the side of a handling corral that just got concrete and stone floor and I was leveling a step on one of the gates of it. Thanks for sharing Stay safe !
My parents used to have cows until few years ago, and I know how big of a pain it is to clean without having any solid foundation under it. You should definitely consider filling it up with some rock filler and putting a top layer of concrete. It will help You A LOT in future. Easy to clean manure, no sinking, keeps water and mud away from the cows which especially in the upcoming winter months is important. Can't wait to see the project in future. Good luck.
Hi Ryan. Good organic fertiliser. Love the drone footage. You have beautiful countryside there. Not sure what to say about your yard and shed issues. It's all money at the end of the day one thing at a time. Hows your new bull. Keep living the dream.
Looks like the new steel floor on the spreader is working good. Love watching your videos. My friends keep giving me crap when they call me and I say your Interrupting my farming. I tell them I was spreading manure today 😊
Thanks for the update! Glad your ok after that slide. Love watching you guys work. Re: The JCB skid steer: It’s got an interesting arm. Has this tool replaced any tasks you would have done with a tele-handler? Keep up the good work. 🤙🏽
Yes all of them. Teleskids really aren't that popular on the farms in the US, compared to Europe... much more of a construction machine here... OL J R :)
Glad your safe, the yards are looking great. Check on the resale values of the barn timbers. Like eating an elephant, dismantle one board at a time. A hay mow above the cattle would also be nice. This could be the year to invest. At least in dismantle time, reselling and concrete. Good luck on the regrowth buying more grazing time.
New tires would help, loading them would help even more... with the spreader half empty or more on that style spreader the weight is lifting up on the draw bar... a V bottom slinger style spreader does not
We need to clean out our cow pasture but we don't have anywhere to go wit it, but since all that strong stroms in north east Wisconsin we might have to chop our corn early due to crop damages
To build or redoing a faderm lot manure and feed lot you might look at grading to a slope of 2 to 3 percent. Then place Geo-Textile fabric on your grade then put what Arkansas calls class7 or Tennessee they call CR610 its crush and run limestone roughly 1&1/2 inch material down to 1/4 plus and 1/4 minus material
Somehow I could tell Hannah wasn’t planning to help you move manure since she was wearing sandals to hook up the spreader. However, the test would be if she changed shoes when she brought out the JCB to rescue you 😉. She packed you the lunch so she wouldn’t have to deal with manure. Oh well! She is a great sport about it!
ALWAYS A GREAT VIDEO ABOUT "HOW FARMS WORK". NICE DRONE SHOTS. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR BUDGET. SOMETHING IS NICE BUT YOUR BUDGET COMES FIRST AFTER YOURSELF.
We always had the same yard u got, mud dirt etc, etc. Im slowly doing sections of cement in the yard. Used to put fill in to get by, but all that happens is that fill goes in the spreader. I would suggest to do it right and cement it. In the long run it is cheaper.
Glad that you're OK. Do you have plans for the rafters in your equipment shed? I watched the video from a few years ago when you made the road trip to bring them home.
do you have fluid in the rear tires we farm on lots of side hills and have had similar situations good tires and extra weight in the rear really helps glad your ok.
Angel on your shoulder. New sneakers on the the tractor not bad idea. What about a modern version of the good ol pole barn, one inch bank run rock several inches, Item 4 then concrete all one pour if price is good.
Glad you’re okay! This is why farmers obsess over tractor weight. MFWD is also very nice. Last tractor we bought we were shopping around and checked the major brands. Deere, New Holland, Case and Kubota (all MFWD). We bought an 85HP Deere for a number of reasons and one of them was weight. Ryan for our steer lot we have put down wash out. It’s the stuff they washout of cement trucks. It provides a stable base and is cheap. Basically you’re just paying for trucking a lot of the time.
Awesome video Ryan good things there's no damage to the tractor and the manure spreader glad your ok lol now you know to only drive a 4wd in that area lol thumbs up and shared
At the quarries on my side of the river across from you fill lime is a bargain. $2.75 per ton. Gravel road base with fines is like $9 a ton. I would just go with the fill lime. Get it done now so it has a chance to get some rain and get packed in. Pouring flat cattle yard concrete yourself is also pretty easy. Do a section every year to spread out the cost. If I can get a good base I have poured a lot of yards only 4" thick. If you are willing to get it ready I could help pour / finish it for you.
Opportunity to compare price, traction, and durability on radial vs bias ply tires on utility tractors. I already figured out radials pull more and last much longer. Also you might explain where RimGuard comes from and score a couple hundred gallons.
Glad your OK. Better get that trousers in the wash. 👍. Problem with four wheel drive tractors ect is that you tend to take bigger risks or get stuck more spectaculary. 😉😂. Done it myself 👍. Stay safe 🏴 😉
The lugs were not your biggest issue here... all that weight behind the trailer axles lifted your tractor tires... No lugs + negative tongue weight = fun ride. Glad your safe
Yes clean up the barnyeard flat, but instead of putting the slab first. Get the same contractor to demolish and crush your stone and use it as fill for underneath the concrete pour. Tom pemberton just did the same. You don't have to haul it, bury it, and if you have extra you can fill in the culvert. Then put in the pad, then consider plans on a barn or wait. I was going to say use pac. Actully lime is a good soil stabilizer, and there is a huge machine for road building. Use it as a hard base for the concrete. I was wondering if you went the other way would it be better with the spreader and the 4020. Then climb that hill.
Are the back tires of the tractor not loaded? I used to spread with a New Idea spreader the same size with a CIH 685 (2wd) with loaded back tires and never had a problem no matter where I spread.
Box spreaders. That’s what happened. As the load moves back, it creates Negative tongue weight, which takes traction away from the drive tires. Couple that with a down slope, and maybe dewy grass, and you got the right conditions to go for a ride. Bigger tractor or more weight, or a better styl le spreader will do more than new rubber Also, lock the differential if your 4020 has it when going downhill. The tractor only needs to lose traction on one tire to start sliding. Locking the diff will greatly reduce the likelihood of taking a ride
If you want a good foundation for your feedlot put about a 6 inch layer of #3's then a lighter layer of dense grade then a sheet of Geo-textile with around a foot of class I sand packed on top .
Are the 4020's rear tires loaded with calcium? We spread most of our manure with our 4020 and that draw bar pin pops out quiet easily....our solution was to shove a rag in there on top of the pin so it can't pop up.
Sliding, I was spreading slow in 2nd, I should have shifted up at the bottom of the hill before the steeper decline to give me a chance to regain traction mid-slide
Hi there back in the 1960s my Uncle was speaking the man. going down a large hill on wet grass with the Tractor and the speaker. the Wheels slipping down and the jack knife flip over he was pin down. he broke his back and he lived thule it.😎🚜🚜🚜🍵
You need more weight on the rear of the 4020. For the spreader to be sitting on it's rear end, it's tail heavy with the manure in the back. This took weight off the rear of the 4020. New tires with better, deeper lugs may help some, but won't solve the issue of too little weight on the back tires. With a little ingenuity, you could hang 1000 lbs (or more) off the 3 point, while keeping enough clearance for the spreader PTO. You could then only pick up the weight when needed, and drop it for doing things such as running the row crop cultivator.
Ryan have u ever thought of buying a newer John Deere combine like a 9870STS or like a S670 something like that with a 12 row corn head and a 40ft Draper header
For a base think about a fabric layer, rule of thumb is that it has the same carrying capacity of 4 inches of breaker run. But if you ever need to tear it out it is not a fun job.
Down here in Texas in Beef Capital of the World, many, many feedyards. None of them have concrete pens I don’t believe. We always just ran ours on pasture year round.
www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2020/mar/07/more-cows-than-people-americas-beef-capital-of-the-world-in-pictures Has lots of great photos if you are interested.
I think that it might be better to take the barn down and put up a pole barn a place for the cows to be in when it to cold in the winter time and you have a section for hay and feed and if the cows come in with a calf then they will be safe.It might be better if it was concrete in the corner to put hay out and a place to put troughs in there for mixed feed

spreader also probably "lifted" the 4020 in the rear a bit, made it loose grip
Concrete is definetly the way to go Ryan. You can get them to pour it so it has a minimal grade for run off if needed. Great video.

Look like alot of hard work. know the right time to plant.
Do one perimeter of field first then turn off when you make the swing around. Prevents overfeeding on the edges

Enjoyed the video Ryan 👍🏽 we need a crop tour one of these days. Haven’t had an update on how everything is looking in a while…

Put some Cstone it'll build a really hard base. You can normally get from about any power plant just for the trucking to your place
Glad ya are safe I'm thinking maybe a new kuhn manure spreader would be nice to replace this one
Hey Ryan!! Was just thinking the 4020 needs new shoes. You and hillsides just don't get along well. Be careful buddy!!
Hey Darrin!
That slide looked very scary. Good to see that you and your machines are ok😉👍
The first priority is to make sure that you are fine. Glad you are ok.
I think that there is a product that can be put down that will turn the dirt rock hard. If not bentonite might work for what you want.

Good to see a man show his mistakes, probably a couple of things you will different next time but sure that's how how we learn 😀
Ryan why don't you run cows out on your corn stalks in the fall?
Are the back tires of the tractor not loaded? I used to spread with a New Idea spreader the same size with a CIH 685 (2wd) with loaded back tires and never had a problem no matter where I spread.
That definitely would cause a pucker factor. Stay safe my friend.
Need some more rear weight on that 4020. Either load tires or wheel weights
What's with Hanna and Sandals on the farm?
I wear sandals in the summer when I’m not working as well
Box spreaders. That’s what happened. As the load moves back, it creates Negative tongue weight, which takes traction away from the drive tires. Couple that with a down slope, and maybe dewy grass, and you got the right conditions to go for a ride. Bigger tractor or more weight, or a better styl le spreader will do more than new rubber
Also, lock the differential if your 4020 has it when going downhill. The tractor only needs to lose traction on one tire to start sliding. Locking the diff will greatly reduce the likelihood of taking a ride
Or at least not trying hills with all the weight at the back ...
Was that the same hill from last year?
Glad your ok.
If you want a good foundation for your feedlot put about a 6 inch layer of #3's then a lighter layer of dense grade then a sheet of Geo-textile with around a foot of class I sand packed on top .
Glad you and the equipment are okay. What about breaker rock with lime over it?
This is what I was thinking since I was suggested breaker rock
GLAD YOU ARE OK.
Boy bet that ride got your attention…glad it worked out as it did. Be well
I had that happen once Hauling manure with my 4240 except I was going down the road it did not end well you got lucky
This video was the perfect length can you please make more this length
Can always get bullrock. Its large in size but cement would be best as stated.
Just make sure your water run ways are cleared on the fences so that most water can run away , will tiling not help with drainage ?
Are the 4020's rear tires loaded with calcium? We spread most of our manure with our 4020 and that draw bar pin pops out quiet easily....our solution was to shove a rag in there on top of the pin so it can't pop up.

Glad that you are ok farm accidents can be very dangerous. Just goes to show more hp is a good thing
That looked like one hell of a ride.
Thanks 😊
Were you sliding or was the weight over running the engine?
Sliding, I was spreading slow in 2nd, I should have shifted up at the bottom of the hill before the steeper decline to give me a chance to regain traction mid-slide
Glad you are safe and the tractor didn’t get damaged. I’d say that barn definitely needs to go. Not much holding it up anymore.

Ryan have u ever thought of buying a newer John Deere combine like a 9870STS or like a S670 something like that with a 12 row corn head and a 40ft Draper header
That’s way too big for their operation, but I do think they’d benefit from a newer horse
I would think a smallest sts would fit
Hay Ryan, I think lay down the rock and then put the lime on top of the rock ! makes sense to me !!!! be careful with the bald tires!!!!!
Hey Ryan is that one winter build up or two?
That’s two winter’s worth, the spreader broke down last fall and we didn’t get it hauled
Geo textile fabric down first then use crusher run to pack on top
For a base think about a fabric layer, rule of thumb is that it has the same carrying capacity of 4 inches of breaker run. But if you ever
need to tear it out it is not a fun job.
Nothin like a good ole manure slinging video😂

I think that it might be better to take the barn down and put up a pole barn a place for the cows to be in when it to cold in the winter time and you have a section for hay and feed and if the cows come in with a calf then they will be safe.It might be better if it was concrete in the corner to put hay out and a place to put troughs in there for mixed feed
