hey everybody its Ryan welcome back to how farms work today we are at my 25
acre oat field Travis just started baling and we got
the pickup in the flatbed up on top of the hill the Bobcat is down by the road
I'm walking out and get it right now but the JCB is at my place so we're gonna be
hauling all these bales out to my place whew that was a close one where the
cattle are and we are going to be wrapping them this coming week so I'll
be sure to get some footage on that I would be using the Duramax today too but
unfortunately I'm leaving after the first load or two I have a presentation
this afternoon that I have to attend prior obligations even though I really
want to stay and help especially since this is my field
so anyway Travis is up on the hill he's doing the first few rounds now once we
have a full load I'll take off out to my place unload this and then we'll see if
I got time to haul another load
the advantages of having to skid loaders we don't have to run this back home
every time
Toto I don't think we're the JCB anymore now what it's like actually being a skid
loader than tips
right
12:20
a bearing just went out on the baler so I'm gonna take the bales that we've
gotten up to this point out to my place and unload them
Travis is taking the 7600 and the baler back to the farm is probably going to
start tearing into it well inside unload these I'm gonna head back to the farm
and see what the damage looks like
so we're standing here at the baler now here is the bearing that went out it
actually supports one of the main rollers which is right behind the belts
so that's what's on the bale actually rides right on those rollers for how
fast it took him to tear it apart I don't think it's gonna be that big of an
issue to put everything back together and I think that he'll get it done today
as long as there any more hiccups mom is gonna help him haul the bales in but if
I were him I just go and Bale everything and then haul him in tonight but I have
to get going because I'm running short on time if this was a serious enough
issue where I felt like we weren't gonna get it made then I would stay home but I
want to keep to my obligations and I know that there are people who are
coming to see me at the Sauk County Fair so I don't want to skip out on that
whatsoever but if it was serious enough I'd have to really weigh my options but
I think with Travis here and mom helping him I think they'll be able to get
everything done even though I really want to stay and help finish all of the
oats just arrived at the Sauk County Fair
my name is Ryan pitcher and I am from a small town called toasted Wisconsin it's
a town of seven hundred people and I'm a farmer so back in 2012 I got this idea
to make a channel and just start posting some fun farm videos up on YouTube
because I had noticed that there was a farming content on the internet so what
I did was took a long look at YouTube said what am I gonna do and I decided
that my youtube channel name would be how farms work I made it back home now I
just want to give a quick but huge thanks to the Sauk County Fair to having
me to present I had a lot of fun presenting and they give you a tour of
the Sauk County Fair as well and I just wanted to say thank you while I was gone
Travis and mom managed to make 60 bales off of my 25 acre old field and they
managed to get all of the bales and hauled out to my place so in our next
video this week we are going to be wrapping the oat bales down here below
the shed out at my place so it's something new that I haven't done yet or
we've never done at least as long as I've been around so I'm really looking
forward to it be sure to check back for our next video on Tuesday of wrapping
round bales thanks for watching this video guys and I'll see you next time
