Mike you need to be careful of all the particles you are inhaling. I got copd and never smoked a day in my life. Dust from composite pile is harmful. Think about a mask for some jobs. Enjoy every video.

Maybe just spray it with a hose? Might be heavier but you can easily shovel it and no airborne concerns.

Mike there is nothing like a old corn shovel to scoop thing up with. Goes a lot faster.. I used one when I was younger scooping corn out of a corn crib when the used to shell corn off the cob. That was back in the days when you really worked hard to keep up with the sheller rig and fighting big rats.

You should cut and weld some angle iron or iron tubes in a manner to allow ashes to fall through and yet catch accidental items. Make it removable though.

Wow! A wonderful change in the weather! People have to realize there is always something to do on the ranch other than the animals. Never a dull moment. Have a great weekend OWL! I can't wait to see what the next video brings!

Mike, you stayed so positive all the while you were dealing with material that should not have been put in the incinerator. If you put it in, there must have been a darn good reason to at that time. Now, are you going to think twice about putting metal into the incinerator again? Best wishes. I enjoyed your positive attitude!

Great to see you show all the other 'lil' things that need doing while running a ranch/farm. Looks like you are in for lots of sun and warmer temps coming up, no snow for a while....

Mike... Sounds like you have caught the new year fever of cleaning and organizing the old from last year to make way for the new year., it is always a good thing.

LOL As much as I have resisted it. I had a few things that required some attention! LOL

Next time you build a burner leave the end door off. The vertical pipe needs to be 8 ft in length. You can empty by letting the ashes out the bottom with the front end loader.

Nice work- maybe take a look in the junk pile for a 4 foot or so frame and put some screen over it, 1/2 inch or so and dump the incinerator on the screen to get the big chunks. Maybe dump it near the compost pile to reduce the movement. Just a thought. I enjoy the show.

I think I remember you did a video about the duck pond and thats where your tarp went if I remember correctly

Mike about 50 yrs ago are coop had applicators for side dressing corn. That is where your tank came from. It set perpendicular to the tongue. They had 4 and 6 row units , we paid so much an acre to use them. I put anhydrous ammonia milo. Pulled it with a 4020 John Deere that was the work horse. Most people have their own applicator now.

We all need work, so this qualifies. I am glad that you have a schedule that allows you to tackle these types of things during the winter.

Congratulations. I watch you every day and have learned a lot each time. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video

Why not just use a shovel and load the loader bucket by hand. Ash is pretty lightweight and easy to shovel. You’d probably finish the job in half the time and not make any mess.

you should weld a hook for a chain to keep the doors open so you can wedge out the stuck stuff.

If it were my burner, I would add 4" lift to the base of it and dump it out in a dirt area where you can scoop with the bobcat. A little dirt in your compost is better than gravel. Thanks for sharing.

Did spring come early, and i just missed it? Haven't seen the sun here in Kansas for a week. Good video as always.

For about $50 you can get a real mask at an auto supply store or an oil field supply store that will protect your lungs. There are various filters for different materials. We recently had 800 sqft (floor area asement) built and drywalled. The crew was using N95 masks I gave one a respirator for oil field use and the next day he was getting them for all the crews. Said no dust and no breathing difficulty.

My father had a burn barrel in the back yard, it was made out of cement. But it wasn't used for the compost pile, if I remember correctly, so no use for picking it up. I do not remember how he emptied it out. I think he had a metal grate on the bottom and I know one was on the top to keep huge paper ash from floating up in the air. The burn barrel was one of my favorite things to "play" with. Must have been a witch in another life. lol

LOL Thanks for sharing the memory Janes.

Someone did not get the memo on not putting non burnable items in the trash😮

Wouldn't it be easier to just rake out all that ash instead of picking it up and risking damaging it or the tractor? Rake it and shovel it. It didn't seem like a lot of ash to me to warrant such extreme emptying measures. You wound up having to shovel some of it out anyway.

Don't work too hard Like Mama told me I should have stayed in the Air FORCE LOL

Howdy Mike ,yeah that black heat paont definitely burns off. When I burned wood to heat my place I had to brush down the stove every spring and repaint. Mainly just to make it look better in the living room. That stuff is toxic so id set a fire open the wondows and leave lol! I guess it wouldn't hurt to put some Rustolium on it once in a while so it doesn't rust out,or not 😂. Nicely Done Mike! JO JO IN VT 💞

Your chickens would love some ash its a delouser

You do things the hard way.all you need to do is lift it with your skid steer an put a big plastic tub on the ground an open the door an use a large blade hoe. To pull it out an when you tub is full dump it in the bucket on the tractor or if you have more than one just set in there an fill up another one

A garden rake might have worked better than the shovel. Just a thought.

Set your incinerator on concrete blocks!!! Gets it off the ground and easy to see where it goes back!

Good day sir are you doing your end of month livestram on Beyond The Ranch? Love the videos sir.

I seen the video of you on the roof and my first thought was omg he's gonna fall.

Do you go hunting on the ranch ...and clean out truck and van .. cleaning all the feeders...maybe next winter put some of the chickens in a hi tunnel ...

Ok so what happened to the wife and kids?! Been watchin ur vids for a couple of yrs and I enjoyed seeing the whole family interaction as reminded me of the times on our family farm growing up. So prob negative stuff said about them etc that ended that which I totally get; some people unfortunately are really negative and mean. Hey to be positive still enjoy ur ranch/ farm it’s great!

i just saw a video yesterday that talked about burning wood piles in the pig pen, and when the fire is out and cools down, the pigs root through and eat ash and that acts as a natural parasitic. i haven't done any research on the validity of this, but perhaps you might find that interesting and conduct your own research on it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "stupid gravity "

What happened to the cow you composted?

I wonder if you put another holder on the other side of the barrell and hook it to the tractor. Then take it to the Compost pile and empty it right on it ? Or is there a reason you didn't do that?

This one deserves a qualification for “Dirty Jobs”.

When you said you were going to do this my thought was that it wasn't very ranchy and then you said the same thing. 😆Every job has it's mundane side of things that just have to be done. I would like to know how you emptied the last time you did because it appeared you did it different this time? I enjoy hoof trimming and watch a few of the trimming channels so I'm looking forward to that.

Darn gravity! Lol

Paper trash? I am seeing plastic as well. I would have sprayed a lot of water on the ash before lifting. That dust can't be good for the lungs.

Do you run a magnet through it

Where's the snow!?

May I suggest next time Michael you only burn wood and paper products in there and then, when you emptied it out next time, put it in the cattle feed to help with deworming like your friend in North Carolina does stony Ridge Farmer.

What are going do with cows when you move out of the farm
