Back here in the UK quit dairy farming 20 years ago. Started watching manure hauling videos and thinking the roads looked familiar now watching the farm tour realise my son who passed this Christmas lived 12 miles away ,When corvid is under control and we can get back to visit my daughter in law and grandchildren I am going to bring them for ice cream and the tour.
Same here today. Lmfao I started watching nonstop and love these vids. After that vid I was like hell yeah im going to watch back to back and subscribe. These vids so great I hit the like before finishing lol
New sub here Duff. Like the different perspectives your channel shows. Been watching Millennial Farmer for a couple years and this channel just popped up. Keep up the good work man.
Very interesting tour! Good to see an operation from "across the pond". Interesting to hear that "moseying" around is done in your area as well as here in Ireland.
I spread for 9 years. 5 years with a Mack and 3600 gallon tank then 4 years with a 6100 Jamesway and 7250 CaseIH. I enjoyed it but it is seasonal work. I got out of spreading for more uniform work and income. I now run truck year round. Hauling ag and forestry products. We still farm the ground but we quite milking in 2014. Thanks for your videos.
Nice operation! Those robotic milking systems are the future of dairy farming. My family used to milk about 80 head but we switched to crop and beef cattle farming. Here in southern michigan we farm over 5200 acres and custom farms another 2200 acres anualy for other farmers and landowners. By focusing on crops and not dairy we tripled in size and the quality of our crops and yields got better . I enjoy watching other farmers and learning about other methods and styles of agriculture. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friend !
Grew up in an old non working dairy farm next to a working hundred Holstein dairy farm. They ran a sugar house in the spring, loved that part. North of Montpelier Vermont. They worked hard, just like you.
Glad to see farming is still going. I was a fourth generation dairy farmer before we had to sell out. Its nice to see holsteins brings back memories lol seen your video on the crazy lady and had to sub to see what the future holds for you guys and best of luck. And yes my family misses farming mostly the cows lol
Just found your channel last night and I absolutely love watching your content different from the welker farmers up in Montana but super cool smaller equipment but still cool to see you find old treasures! 🤘🏼
Im from schoharie county and know who Greg Lloyd is and that was a cool shout out that you made about his straw! Best damn soil in the country here in schoharie!
The farm I work at did a demo with a Cat skidloader and I share your dislike of it. Thanks for taking the time to provide a tour of the farm as I was curious what the layout of your farm was and this really helped things make more sense for sure.
Dang!! That cow has a Gene Simmons tongue!! 18:21 LOL! I have Oakridge Dairy in Ellington CT 4 miles down the road from me. Huge operation since expanding their milking barn less than 10 years ago. Kids complain about the smell when they spread manure. To me is smells fine. My wife's Uncles are mostly farmers from Canada in the Saskatchewan Province. Great channel.
i had a stake body dump c70 that looked a lot like yours. Had a 366 motor in it. They used to run 366s in old school busses off of propane. Mine was gas though. Awesome channel man. Subbed.
I worked on a farm that had a new subdivision built at the edge of the largest field. Lady came out yelling at me once telling me we were hurting her property values. I reminded her that the field was here when she bought the place.she said she didn't know the fields were still being worked . People are so irritating with their absolute stupidity.
It been interesting watching it interesting I found out by you posting a video on the silage kings face book and then I watched master Choices podcast and found out some awesome stuff about this place
New subscriber, I really enjoyed the robotic tour, hopefully you can do more as there is a lot of interest in them. We have looked at installing them, just reluctant to move forward. Thanks for your great videos.
Glad i found this channel i used to come here as a when i was younger and i still do thought i recognised some of the equitment keep up the good work you guys have the best ice cream! subscribed!
Theres about 100 dairy's left in Massachusetts. lot of vegetables and once you get into the western part of the state in the Connecticut river valley you will find tobacco and potatoes
Thanks for the information! I had no idea that of any of that happened in MA. Since I am from Kentucky, I just assumed that urban sprawl had eaten MA, CT, And RI. My error and keep the videos coming.
wow we got a heat shrink machine and we have shrink warp ever thing on the farms to yea last year we did have 6 semi-trucks had to sit outside we wrapped them up kept the thieves out of them we kept them plugin and a battery charger on them make sure the trucks had fuel to one a week the start-up and ran for 2 hours we sold the 6 by springtime NO were planed on selling any of them
I farm and ranch in northeastern Oregon so I don’t need bk straw or hay haha my hay is the highest quality around I get $400 a ton to the dairy’s around Washington Oregon and Idaho. Keep in mind that are ranch:farm is 198 years old I’m the 8th generation I don’t even have to spray our hay fields anymore because the crop is so strong that weeds don’t grow in our fields.
Great video! I use to work as JD mechanic & on their skid steers for 12 years. This will be the first of a broken crankshaft that I have seen.. Does it have many hours on it?
Wow I don’t know how you do it up there. I couldn’t deal with the town like that lol. You must have big enough heifers at 12 months I never started breeding mine till 15 months.
have awesome growth in first 2 months and carry it on. we dont always caught heat on our heifers so we try to get them by 12 months or we have a clean up bull. we do have activity system to put on our heifers. just need some time to run wires over
Well CZcams must be really pushing you out there because now you’re at 3.7K subscribers when I’m watching this I started my channel last December and I’m only at 1.1 K apparently they like you better 😂
With the robot units, What do you do with or how do you handle first calf heifers to start them in there? What do you do when or if a cow has mastitis? How do you know she is infected? How do you separate the milk and save it for the calves? Do you have a special needs pen. How do you stop the units from freezing? Thank you I am viewing from Eastern Ct.
For heifer training we have them in the sort group for the 1st few days and we put them thru 4 times a day and work with them. if they are nervous we will manually milk them in the robot. majority pick it up in the 1st day. With milk that is none saleable we enter it in the computer the robot diverts the milk from that cow and washes the system automatically. when feeding cows we divert the milk the same way right at the robot. the robot uses conductivity sensors and color sensors per quarter of the cow and can tell when one is elevated to alert us. we have a special needs pen for 6 cows that cows can automatically be sorted to. the barn is insulated and stays 35 in the winter. In none insulated barns we close up the robots as much as we can and have heaters. they will run in cold weather just some of the functions using water may have issues so its key to keep them above freezing.
The state owns the The facility. we own a majority of the the insides of the barn. All the equipment the silos the manure storage. its a unique situation has its pros and cons. we run the operation as if we own it.
we lease the farm. when the state purchased the farm is it was farmed for a few more years then sat empty and the state put a ad out looking for a farmer to run it and have a operational dairy farm open to the public. we only run 60 acres of state park land then a lot of town and private land
we use the manure spreader and make rows of it about 7 foot tall 9 foot wide then we turn them over the year. we have an employee apartment above the shop
@@DuffyAg Ok. Would be interesting to see some of that someday. BTW, love the channel, especially when you casually take apart a transmission (or similar part that is incredibly complicated) and say something like "all I have to do is hammer this part back into place. No big deal". And it works!
State owns property and facilities on the farm. we only run a small amount of the land in the park. out of the 1000 acres state park only 60 is crop land
small work. The dealership I work for is in North Franklin Connecticut. we got out of the cranberry business 5 years ago now. market collapsed and could not justify continuing any more
I personally own a good amount of equipment. My parents own the remaining equipment. we do not own any land. land prices are 6 figures or more for a acre and could never justify owning any in this area
Interesting watching this in august of 23, You have been through a lot since this was shot and I appreciate your videos.
You have a nice setup there
Hey Andy I appreciate it. always enjoy your content
My dad watches you all the time
"Stinky job but somebody does it." Never been understated more than that. Keep up the great work. 😂

I walk with the dog here every morning, love the videos and appreciate the inside look. You make it look like I’ve never worked a day in my life.
Glad you enjoy the park and thank you for the support
Thank you for farming! Smartest and most hard working folks are farmers! God bless!
Thanks for taking the time to do a tour, great video!!!

Very interesting tour! Good to see an operation from "across the pond".
Interesting to hear that "moseying" around is done in your area as well as here in Ireland.
Good to see I'm not the only one without brand new equipment! Love my old iron 👍
Thanks for joining along
That old barn would be awesome to clean up and show folks
I spread for 9 years. 5 years with a Mack and 3600 gallon tank then 4 years with a 6100 Jamesway and 7250 CaseIH. I enjoyed it but it is seasonal work.

So sad. I hate working for a massive corporate monarchy where you're just a nameless number on a spreadsheet. I'd rather be farming.

Thanks! Will do!
Tour of older equipment, loving it, then POW, state of the art robot milking parlour. You run a farm I can relate to, nice to find you 🥂

Thank you
Your welcome also found you’re channel in CZcams recommendations
Keep the videos coming and I will definitely be keeping the sub hit
thank you for joining along
I worked on a dairy farm when I was growing up we had 95 head we milked twice a day.. I sure miss them good old days
hey duff luv intro
just subed to you loving the vids keep up the good work !!
Thanks for the sub!
You got some good machines there. Me I like the CAT and New Holland machines. Sadly farming simulator 2019 don’t have CAT stuff.
New subscriber here! Nice setup. Greetings from a dutch collegue
Thanks for joining along
We don't like are cat either, vs are new holland but if you compand each it would be the best skidsteer. But also needs a easy access to engine let.
Good video! Like the diversification of the farm...ice cream, compost, manure, milk. I have to admit I didn’t think MA had any agriculture at all.
Theres about 100 dairy's left in Massachusetts. lot of vegetables and once you get into the western part of the state in the Connecticut river valley you will find tobacco and potatoes
Thanks for the information! I had no idea that of any of that happened in MA. Since I am from Kentucky, I just assumed that urban sprawl had eaten MA, CT, And RI. My error and keep the videos coming.
Dad worked here and mostly almost nothing has changed
wow we got a heat shrink machine and we have shrink warp ever thing on the farms to yea last year we did have 6 semi-trucks had to sit outside we wrapped them up kept the thieves out of them we kept them plugin and a battery charger on them make sure the trucks had fuel to one a week the start-up and ran for 2 hours we sold the 6 by springtime NO were planed on selling any of them

Thanks for the sub!
Try Cook Tractor in Clinton Mo for your 3020 block.
Clukey ag. Service, Cortland N.Y may have some silage boxes, and poo tanks?
Great job! Would love to know what you used for a camera to film your tour.
Use a GoPro 8 for most of my filming

I’ve got a small dairy farm out in Hardwick Massachusetts.
that's really great! what generation are you in it? how many head do you milk usually? thank you!
@@CuriousEarthMan we milk about 35-40 cows and I’m 6th generation on the same land.
I’m in Middleburgh
Great video! I use to work as JD mechanic & on their skid steers for 12 years. This will be the first of a broken crankshaft that I have seen.. Does it have many hours on it?
Had 6k hours. It is uncommon from what I have heard as well. The 5 cylinder engine makes it so not many after market parts are not available as well
Thought you looked familiar, you helped start our robots almost 3 years ago now.
Hey he helped us to!!:):):)
Where's your farm at
Wow I don’t know how you do it up there. I couldn’t deal with the town like that lol. You must have big enough heifers at 12 months I never started breeding mine till 15 months.
have awesome growth in first 2 months and carry it on. we dont always caught heat on our heifers so we try to get them by 12 months or we have a clean up bull. we do have activity system to put on our heifers. just need some time to run wires over
I am also from mass
Best piece of equipment on the farm is that red DM 600 Mack
Its been a awesome truck want another R model someday
Dang I live 15 miles away didn’t know about this farm
We have neighbors that dont even know we have cows. Glad you watched
Does your dad/you own the barns ? I know you said state park owned the farm ground just wasn’t sure
Thanks
Yo, bud. What about the awsome looking slammed S10?
That is my brothers. Its a cool ride
No way. Ur in Massachusetts too? 😱 I farm about 200 acres in North Andover mass!!
Sure is a small world
what kind of Cat do you guys have (i think its a cat it could be a jcb too) i didnt see it in this tour
We need you to take a your around town in the chopper and show some of them lib bicyclist what's what!!!
What transmission does the international truck have in it
I’m 53 I sold my cows in 2011 just to concentrate on the crop farming we milked in a 65 cow tie stall too labor-intensive hard to find help
Well CZcams must be really pushing you out there because now you’re at 3.7K subscribers when I’m watching this I started my channel last December and I’m only at 1.1 K apparently they like you better 😂
We own a 7520 to man
Me n my family we milk 140 but not with no robots. Hard work is the beauty of farming. But interesting on robot milkers
With the robot units,
What do you do with or how do you handle first calf heifers to start them in there?
What do you do when or if a cow has mastitis? How do you know she is infected?
How do you separate the milk and save it for the calves?
Do you have a special needs pen.
How do you stop the units from freezing?
Thank you

Could you do another feeding video
What with the hellcat
Iowa guy here and live in john deere's back yard of the quad cities did you get your parts yet for your tractor?
Headed west the end of the week
Do you still fill the upright stave silos still!?
The have not been used in 35 years and are in pour shape
You guys ever have trouble with the slurry store manure shavings crusting really hard on top where you can't get it broken up an be a problem!?
Never had a issue on the top. had a blockage issue coming in once. this year we did add 50k gallons of water to help get any solids out
So if it is a state park do u own the farm or is it just in a trust or does the state own it
The state owns the The facility. we own a majority of the the insides of the barn. All the equipment the silos the manure storage. its a unique situation has its pros and cons. we run the operation as if we own it.
@@DuffyAg that is a unique situation it seems like the people there don't care about u or the farm
How did your dad buy the farm in the state park or is it rented?
we lease the farm. when the state purchased the farm is it was farmed for a few more years then sat empty and the state put a ad out looking for a farmer to run it and have a operational dairy farm open to the public. we only run 60 acres of state park land then a lot of town and private land
How do you "windrow" manure (13:25) and what are the rooms over the garage? Looks like someone lives up there.
we use the manure spreader and make rows of it about 7 foot tall 9 foot wide then we turn them over the year. we have an employee apartment above the shop
@@DuffyAg Ok. Would be interesting to see some of that someday. BTW, love the channel, especially when you casually take apart a transmission (or similar part that is incredibly complicated) and say something like "all I have to do is hammer this part back into place. No big deal". And it works!
What's the deal on the kodiak.
Where do i apply i wanna work there
Husky spreaders build 500ft from my house
What’s up with the charger? 392?
My brothers workers car, yes 392
So the state owns your farm? or did i hear that wrong?
State owns property and facilities on the farm. we only run a small amount of the land in the park. out of the 1000 acres state park only 60 is crop land
Years back I delivered grain to your farm from Cargill grain out of Franklin Connecticut Do u guys do cranberries also
small work. The dealership I work for is in North Franklin Connecticut. we got out of the cranberry business 5 years ago now. market collapsed and could not justify continuing any more
@@DuffyAg do you work for the handfields they are related to us My home town is Franklin
Do you own any of the equipment or any land?
I personally own a good amount of equipment. My parents own the remaining equipment. we do not own any land. land prices are 6 figures or more for a acre and could never justify owning any in this area
What's up
