Isn’t that the way, if it’s going to break it’s always in the middle of the night, the life of a farmer can’t thank you guys enough for feeding us👍👍👍

[Mwolfi]

Your dad was having fun. Big smile on his face. Must like not waking up to feed.

[centexan]

Mechanics and farmers and tool fabrication. Gotta love it! Older stuff is gonna break down .

That black socket is made for Impact Tools. It is a harder steel than normal sockets as you found out the hard way....

[davidbishop]

Very ingenious idea with the socket makes that job a whole lot easier. Glad everything is working out with the new automated system. Stay safe

Chilled Saturday watching farming videos 👍

I've heard people refer to a "farmer fix" as something that is potentially a barely-good-enough fix, but I subscribe to the "if it works, it ain't stupid" school of thought. Good solution with the socket and pipe.

We have a 140 ft long 24in Kelly conveyor made in Seymour WI. It catches feed from 5 20ft silos. We made a socket like that and also have a hook style chain. Wever also put a freq drive and gear box for soft starting and eliminating the belt drive. We also switched to a spring loaded tensioner on the idler end. That really helps as we found w long conveyor the temperature really makes it expand or contract.

Thanks for sharing. The new feed looks great. Will be interesting to see how is does in the winter.

[churchbaker]

Thanks for In a way I feel like I've been on your farm for a couple of years haha thats how long I've been watching your videos, keep up the hard work, you deserve a lot

[dougdiplacido]

Always have something to fix on the farm and you and your Dad do it well. Great video, thanks.

Great video Eric thanks for sharing updates with us

[billpotmesil]

Very impressed with your feeding system! Has been fun to come along with your journey to get it installed!

[Dan-qyrg]

Nice to hear the system will not be down long if the Lely Vector has a problem. That would be a real concern of mine if something was to break down in the night, but I guess you all have that under control. Enjoyed watching, thanks!

Get a skid steer rotary broom to old food and snow you need it!

[badgerbill]

You need a skidsteer mounted snow blower to maintain the robot pathways.

[hule]

Always great to see how you work and keep making

Pro Tip: welding round stock together is eiasier when you lay it in a 45 degree angle, it holds the pieces flush and true

[zackbundy]

Have to admit i was skeptical about the robot feeders, yall did a heck of alot of work in that setup and all in all seems simpler that I thought it would be very nice sir

[brycekirby]

Great information, congratulations on all your modernisation
