    Definitely an end of an era. I supervised a camel milking parlour a few years ago. I am now retired and can't think how we had the drainage system running. It wasn't this way....Iove watching the detail you show ...A. from Hampshire.

    Good morning! Little trick to removing those inflation and pulsation hoses is to push them on bit farther to release them, then they will pull right off.

    We had a pretty reliable gutter cleaning system on our farm growing up. We backed the tractor and manure spreader down between the gutters and my brother and I each cleaned one side.

    We had the same problem you guys have back in the day. It was hard to come by a good used chain and head. After a whole year of hand shoveling it out of the hole, we said he'll with with and filled the whole thing with concrete and just used the skid steer to scrape the barn every day. Worked wonders.

    Good morning Taylor. When you work on a farm long enough it’s easy to get attached to your cows, tractors, equipment , and even a barn cleaner chain. You and Brent have nursed that chain for so long and you knew that one day it would need to be replaced. Hopefully that new chain will last much longer. Thanks again for another informative video. Even this old farmer learns something new every time I watch. The sun will eventually get here and the weather will clear but seeing you smile sure can
    brighten up a day.

    Rubber hoses and the inflations if they do not want to slide off, push it on a little, they often break loose and come off much easier. Get a cut off saw for trimming the paddles it will be easier and you can set up a jig to get the right size every time. If I wasn't 20 plus hours away it would be fun to pick up the chain and help some, feel like I was farming again. Maybe you can get who ever is getting the chain to give you some video of the drive. Stay safe and healthy Tay.

    That's a Patz barn cleaner -- I may have made some of the parts for it. Long lasting for sure. You may be able to use some or all of the flites (sized for your gutter) with the new chain or have the longer ones cut down by a machine shop in your area. Is the one you are buying another Patz product?? If it is, it will last a long time. Good luck with your project.

The short rubber tube tho are little better than yours i dont think the quality is good now . Hope you get the chain cleaner sorted , we all enjoy your video's here in the uk.

    A road trip sounds like fun. If it really is nine hours that will require some juggling for milking. Does someone have to stay home and miss the fun? I find milking keeps me in a six or seven hour radius of home. I know how you feel about the chain. It was a pain in the butt, but it served you well for so long it seems almost unfair to just scrap it. Have a donut in it's memory. Take care.
