Nice video, poor guy! Once our Fuchs F950 broke into two halves and for 3 days i had to feed and muck out 150 cattle and 40 horses with a wheelbarrow...i was not amused.
Can someone explain the feeder system, I worked on a farm bk in the 90's when I was a teenager and we just fed them silage and a bucket of meal twice a day. be interested to know.
Hi Alan, curious to know what those blue tube things are just as the mani enters the shed. Any idea? Looks like heart breaking work emptying that feeder. I have been away for 8 days living on a farm, by myself. Milked 240 cows twice daily and even had a calf! Was hard work but satisfying. Nothing died ! working for 16hrs a day has kicked in now though!
We had the same problem with our red rock feeder waggon! the mixer paddle twisted off running down the middle so no way of emptying it, all 10 tone of it had to be forked out while 380 milking cows watched on in hunger, lucky a neighbour let us use his keenan to do our feeding before returning it. we had to do that for a week while it was being fixed!
well we had to empty it to fix it, so was no question about it, and yes we were very thankfull as the tones rolled out on the scale and you knew what progress was made. Wasnt too bad, we were down by about 12% but all things considered we got off lightly..
Hey! You have got realy interresting videos! What was the problem with the keenan?? Please tell me that this are good machines, i just ordered one!! Greets from Austria!
What we did when ours broke we Bucketed the mix along the floor and we had an old yard scraper so we angled it so it sort of snow plowed the silage to the cows
Feckin ell, Me ol da used to feed 40 by a wheel barrow in the 60's all cut from a face by a manual silage knife and forked out to them all. Had three days off from 1957-1984 total and I love how youngsters today throw a wobley because their old man wants them to work a rugby international weekend. Maybe that's why he has two new hips and a new knee then?.......................... Can't teach the old can we!!!!!! I wonder if in 30 or so years we will see the now youngsters bent over double, arthritis in the spinal column peering over the sale ring wondering why modern youngsters are so lazy because robots have automated everything? I know I would not go back to carting in 14000 bales of hay by hand, sod that, cheers easy...................!
+M Jona - Yes, I used to do the same as a youngster. Silage knife, fork to barrow, wheel it over to the shed and chuck it round while they were being milked. Now I have a bad back! Today's work-force won't suffer the same, but they'll probably die young from boredom :)
+M Jona Hi, I know what you mean, even though I am not a Farmer the general attitude is, if it aint gone a working motor that the job can’t get done, but especially with feeding like this there has to ALWAYS be another way even if it is by hand. Some are spoilt, put em in a machine that can’t count the number of rain drops on every stem of grass, and doesn’t have a million flashing lights and that machine must be ancient!
It's best to keep the old ones! Easy to maintain, simple repairs, small, great yard tractors, and best of all you can restore them in your free time ;)

Good video Alan.
A bit of handwork never hurts anyone.
he will be needing a good feed himself after piking that lot out:-).good job
We had to fix a Keenan on the farm we repair the stuff on and the 2 jcb's were flat out trying to feed 320. Brilliant video 5* - Shaun
You tell me - you know a lot more about milking cows than I do!

I liked you annotations throughout the video, 5* clip!
Thank you. Comes in handy sometimes when it isn't clear what's going on.
Wie aus dem richtigen Leben. ;) Danke für das tolle Video!
4.70 That girl is banged up but still running! :)
How's 4:70 possible
The boss came along and took over after a while and Adam went driving.
Thanks Shaun. I think this one may be fixed on the farm, but they really need a bigger one.
Thanks Lucas
Thanks Max.
Wow, poor Adam! Good job, though. Needs must. Hope you got it fixed quickly.
Not my feeder! But it was fixed quite quickly and another borrowed in the meanwhile.
Thanks.
The red and white tractor isn’t going to win any beauty contests eh ha ha !
That Massey is like 1970 spec mate I don't think theytryingto make it beautiful !
You sure it wasn't the tractor!;)
Thanks Hendrik. It's true but not appreciated!

I think you mean the water-hose. Bet you need some nice relaxing silage-making!!
Thanks Jonny - yes, that gets shown next, I think.
Yes, it seems that some stuff doesn't even see out the warranty! This feeder is 10 years old, however.

Oh yes. I remember a power cut when the cows had to be milked by hand . .Only 35, luckily!

I'll bet you were thankful when you emptied the broken one, though! Hope the milk wasn't down too much?

Wasnt too bad, we were down by about 12% but all things considered we got off lightly..
great video Alan not nice when things like that happen, hedge cutter going nearby too?
At the moment they are kept in but arrangements are being made (fences etc.) to put them out during the day.
Hey! You have got realy interresting videos!
What was the problem with the keenan??
Please tell me that this are good machines, i just ordered one!!
Greets from Austria!
Daniel Zarl The owner said it was too small for the job and therefor was over-loaded.
balmesh Ok thank you! I think overloading is deadly for the keenan mixers!
That's not dirt - it's where the paint has worn off.
Do those cows graze pasture or do they just stay in the barn?
What we did when ours broke we Bucketed the mix along the floor and we had an old yard scraper so we angled it so it sort of snow plowed the silage to the cows
+Plutonium_Panda69 -
Sounds good to me . . .long job, though.
nice video
what happened to the feeder alan? pto trouble or something?
lol 250 cows happy now lol!!!!!
Very happy - and say "more".
LOL !!!!!!!! hahaahahaaa !!!!
another good vid
Thanks Cormac.
How dare he drive that Close to the cows!? i would be totaly frightend
They don't look very frightened to me :)
oh god another animal activist....
Not as fast up our hills!
the feeder wagon broke on us twice in really hot weather and we were graping it out with sweat running down our backs
I'll bet. It's not really a hot weather job!
balmesh yea your right there. you should come to Northern Ireland for some silage shots
Don't know but it involves about £2000 of work.
We've had a similar problem when a shear grab tibe fell into our kuhn euromix! Luckily it was only half full!

Thanks Dan.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm aaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry, I can't do things to order. I don't have anything myself.
The ending is epic....I laugh a little. 6:34
OK, now I see it:)
get a cormall and a transport feeder and save 1,5 hours a day and much cheaper
No one said farm life is an easy life.
True - but they all sem to be jealous!
Good vid
Thank you Andrew.
Older than me
Are they stil bussy?
Well I filmed it in 2013 so I should think they have it sorted by now.
balmesh ya bearly gave em any silage
Um aove the blue water hose. Lots of blue tubes in a row
GOOD Balmesh
and say 'moo' !!!!!!
they should put a tipping sistum
well " what do you expect when it comes to technology, cause sometimes they break. because sometimes are stuff breaks down to.

+M Jona - Yes, I used to do the same as a youngster. Silage knife, fork to barrow, wheel it over to the shed and chuck it round while they were being milked. Now I have a bad back! Today's work-force won't suffer the same, but they'll probably die young from boredom :)

Try to feed 250 by hand m jona.if u can do your work easy why not . you're not a sadistic ain't u?
You really need a new tractor o I'm on about the real old one
No I don't. I don't have a farm :)
It's best to keep the old ones! Easy to maintain, simple repairs, small, great yard tractors, and best of all you can restore them in your free time ;)
Like. :-)
