They won’t be. They’re already doing manual work for it. It’s the classic government blunder. Automation until no funds. Then hand jam the rest. I do wish them the best and hope they can keep moving forward.
I was at your farm this last Sunday on my annual trip to Lancaster. It was quite a site to see those three gleaming silo roofs as I came over the hill on 322 from blue ball. Your videos don't do the farm the justice. The buildings are so much bigger than they appear in the videos. I was always was sure the rented heifer barn was on the same side of the road. What a beautiful set up and your new house is gorgeous. I'm so impressed and wish I was 50 years younger and could have the same. Thanks for all the enjoyment I get with your videos.😊
You better keep the portable mixer, and the conveyor for at least a year until you find out how reliable the system is. You may wanna purchase a third robot feeder so that you have one in case of a breakdown. There are some where parts, and you will have to make repairs, which may take one of the robots out of service for a couple of days. So having your old equipment and a third robot would make sure that you’re able to feed on time every day. I’m really looking forward to seeing that thing work on Monday afternoon.
I may have said this already, but wherever Rube Golberg is, he is having a great time watching your conglomeration of chutes, tubes and conveyor belts. Its really great! In two years, you'll be watching this equipment working and wonder how you ever did without it all. 🤠🤠
Find the best spot for the hay wagon and don't move it. Use the feed conveyor (Zimmerman) that is in the robot room to load hay in the hay wagon in the barn. The Kubota can just dump the haw in the conveyor whenever you need to fill the wagon.
Gotta say the suspense has got me on the edge of my seat... I can only imagine how you are feeling. I think its going to be so cool to see the whole thing all up and running. The bugs will get worked out with a bit of time and practice.
Go ahead and take all the time you need to learn the new system before trying to explain it to us. We are here when you are ready.Looking forward to the next video to see how you are doing. Thanks.
Hello, maybe you should try to solve your hay box problem diffently. Make a trailer stationory and maybe bigger and make it so that the choper could fill it up, maybe less bales but more offten. Because filling up the trailer every couple of days is very time consuming you can utilize the space of the building if you alveys need space to back the trailer in. Great video as alvays.
I'm excited to see it all come together for myself and all of you at the farm as well. This technology is akin to the first big tractors and combines in the day. A big step forward. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@phil6465 a mirror low-tech and does not require power. You then also have to think about where to mount the monitor provide that power as well. It would work but I think it's more work
Will love to see it all come together. with so many farmers going to ag bags and bunkers, it will be different to see you put up the three 132s and have the Robots running around
CONGRATULATIONS on successfully putting all of components together. Everything looks really great! Maybe you should have a cold bottle of chocolate milk on hand to celebrate the launch of the feeding robots! 😊
with block walls you cant put pressure right behind the wall it will buldge out. you would have to go concrete. i know its way more money, buy nice or buy twice
Yea can't wait to see it work and work togethr..it looks really complicated so expect some corrections to make so it'll eventually work well. Don't worry Brian&Dad...we'll be praying all goes as well as HE wants
Have him fill the wagon when he chops your hay mabye? Try some pvc it will alow the hay to slide in them box's for you especially when it's COLD out.Been watching since the beginning and that's all I can suggest to help with clogs..
Can you explain to everyone again what the terms mean for the cows? (like fresh or dry and such) And maybe why they require a different food mixture. Thanks! Cant wait to see the robots in action. Im sure you and your dad will love the extra time you will have once they are up and running. Wake up in the morning and go to feed the..... wait, they are already fed!! Yay! got time for another cup of coffee!
First Eric....thanks to your dad(9th gen) and all the early risers who came before....to ensure the milk/dairy products floes...which kept/keep 🇺🇸 fed and healthy! Hope that he enjoys his well "earned" late sleep ins starting next week. He still deserves the "surprise" Clover Dairy chocolate milk...every now and then!👏👏👏👀
It feels like a long time coming since you first mentioned going automated, I bet you can’t wait? You look like you’ve covered all bases so good luck for Monday, if you manage to get it working first time you’ll be overjoyed. I don’t think you’ll notice the benefit until the cold winter months but then, oh boy you’ll be loving life 😂😂 once you are happy with the self feeding you’ll need to look into the fully automated milking process 😂😂 love the videos ❤
At least you can feed with the old mixer wagon if you have to nice to have a complete back up. All that electronic stuff is got me spinning around pretty dizzy.😂😂 I’m sure it’s all working. Just fine now.
Some interesting. But on another note, my cattle are about 2 weeks away from coming home for the winter. They decided to break down a fence and escape. So, understand about the tractor brake down 😊
You could keep the mixer and throw whole bales in there and let it chop it for you. Have to see what the cost comparison is between hiring the chopper guy and expense on fuel and tractor wear and tear for grinding it yourself
Seems to me that pulling that wagon in and out to put hay in is going to be a constant problem. Cool for trying new things hope you get everything going good!
Not going to be too much longer and the auto feeder will be online. Looking good, I hope all goes well at official start up. Good luck and I hope you have a nice afternoon!
Eric, Those Robotic feeders are nice, but I'm curious if the feed inside will get saturated with rain, if It's down pouring rain? It appears there not meant to run on those strips to fast. I'm sure you and your Dad have already considered this.
Is the automated system still based on feed weight going into the carts, or is it based on the amount of time each feed conveyor runs? Just curious if the robots relay weights back to the controller to have it slow down or switch to the other feeds.
Can’t wait to see how all the systems are going to work together and be automated
They won’t be. They’re already doing manual work for it.
It’s the classic government blunder. Automation until no funds. Then hand jam the rest.
I do wish them the best and hope they can keep moving forward.
@@R3mnarcsource? These system have had and still have amazing success on hundreds (if not thousands) of dairy farms all over the world

Very impressive what you built here, young man.
Wow l am so happy 😊 for you 🙏 Praise God. As a 85 year old woman, looking back at how we milked and feed our cows. You make it look so easy 😂
I grew up farming so I understand what you're doing. The fact that you stay with your family farmers awesome.

Please post the video online on Monday evening. I'm so excited.

Put some parking blocks where tires end so you can get back in some space every time

I’ve watched your videos for the last couple years and I’m glad to see you guys growing and updating 🎉
Exciting days for your farm.
Very interesting! Very excited to see how it works...

Fantastic, Eric ! Bye from Italy 🇮🇹
Such a treat to watch you every week. Never gets old
Awesome to see everything coming together. 👍🏻🇨🇦
You could put a mirror up like they have in stores to see down the aisle to see around the hay wagon.
Or a camera?

Next phase automated milkers.
Excellent video
Old school....😢😢😢 ....going....going....gone......
Looks great looking forward to seeing the robots working
You guys have an awesome set up really enjoy your videos bud
So fun to be able to watch it all work! Nice job! I really enjoy your videos.
looks like a pretty good system, hope it works out for you and the farm

Very excited to see the bots in action!
Eric, I am happy for you. Have Faith, things are going to work well you have addressed everything, and it has to work. I wish you well.
Eric the new system is awesome! Can’t wait for you to get it all set up. 👍👍👍👍

Good luck on Monday, fingers crossed it'll be smooth sailing!!! But I'm confident you guys will figure it out in due time.
2:50 here is an idea, search around for a used movable loading forklift ramp
Fingers crossed for you. Hope any problems are easily fixed.
The gossip around the stock tank is that the cows are excited.
Have him fill the wagon when he chops your hay mabye? Try some pvc it will alow the hay to slide in them box's for you especially when it's COLD out.Been watching since the beginning and that's all I can suggest to help with clogs..
Most intéressant vidéo so far

Hey, get a laptop screen to monitor the silo process....the small CCTV screen doesn't do it 😅😊😅😊
Proud of y'all.... wonderful process 😅😊🎉🎉❤
Hi can't wait to see those things feeding cows too!! I think it gonna be neat!!
Good Luck! You will never be able to forget the old way because of all the videos you recorded.
At least you can feed with the old mixer wagon if you have to nice to have a complete back up. All that electronic stuff is got me spinning around pretty dizzy.😂😂 I’m sure it’s all working. Just fine now.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Hurry want to see robot feeding, 😂
Get some concrete blocks (2 x 2 x 8) to create three sides for your ramp
I have been waiting for this video, and the next one..
Good luck with the robotic feeding system.
Looks to be going along nice the big day is about to happen.
Looking forward to this
Some interesting. But on another note, my cattle are about 2 weeks away from coming home for the winter. They decided to break down a fence and escape. So, understand about the tractor brake down 😊
I am wondering how those robots will work in the snow?
I’ve asked that before, didn’t see an answer???
should buy some k-rails blocks that hook together and it would be stronger
I can’t wait to see it in Action! 🤞🤞🤞
Well looks like everything is coming together. Have you been able to see the Northern Lights from the farm?
Good stuff excited for next videos
Good luck Eric and family
Got my fingers crossed for you guys!
Great video brother from the imperial county ca 🇺🇲🤖 🤖🤖🤖
I can’t wait for the next video
Are you going to invest in robotmilking too? 🤩🤠
Everything going be fine !learning to trust it would be biggest challenge for me iam really concern about compaction on your soils in dryer years .
This guy is playing IRL satisfactory :)
It would be convenient when the hay grinder comes to fill your hay wagon at the same time
Looking good!
You could keep the mixer and throw whole bales in there and let it chop it for you. Have to see what the cost comparison is between hiring the chopper guy and expense on fuel and tractor wear and tear for grinding it yourself
I LOVE MY ERIC ❤
Seems to me that pulling that wagon in and out to put hay in is going to be a constant problem. Cool for trying new things hope you get everything going good!
You’ll come like George Jetson with a sore push button finger.. 😢🎉😂
How about anchoring down 2x4’s in a L shape as a guide for the hay wagon on whatever side is visible from the skid loader?
what is your backup plan? say u have no power for weeks or the automated system does not work for weeks.
Not going to be too much longer and the auto feeder will be online. Looking good, I hope all goes well at official start up. Good luck and I hope you have a nice afternoon!
Rube Goldberg would be proud
Hey iam from India your videos are wonderful ❤
Eric, Those Robotic feeders are nice, but I'm curious if the feed inside will get saturated with rain, if It's down pouring rain? It appears there not meant to run on those strips to fast. I'm sure you and your Dad have already considered this.
Love your videos is so awesome.
Almost there.
So, almost 2 weeks in, how are they running? Any major issues so far?
Running well. A few issues here and there but nothing major.
Could you dig a trench to put the wheels in so it lowers the box car to make it easy to load?
What’s the robot’s name that climbs the silo to remove the doors as the silo gets empty 😂
Do you have enough electrical power backup in case of a major power outage ?
Ngl feels so weird see empty bunkers now.
Is the automated system still based on feed weight going into the carts, or is it based on the amount of time each feed conveyor runs? Just curious if the robots relay weights back to the controller to have it slow down or switch to the other feeds.
Hello 👋
DANG THOUGHT 4 SURE WE GET TO SEE NEW SYSTEM WORK !
SOON YOU CAN SLEEP 😴 💤 TIL NOON QUIT AT 4PM 😆 🤣 yeah i know you will have plenty to do same hours
Huuuuuuu????????????????
