How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZread channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    I would highly recommend going with a joystick control skid steer!!! We went from a hand and foot control machine to a T650 with iso joystick control and I would never go back!!!! Worth every penny!!

    I have a T630. The difference is it's tracked, radial lift, and has the newer engine. If I could have found a good used one with the Kubota engine I'd have bought it but this one seems fine so far. I'm in Texas so the cold fuel issue won't happen. The 630 has the radial lift while the 650 is vertical. If you're using it mostly for loading trailers you want the vertical. Things I don't like: The cab is cramped but I guess they all are. I hate the door; if it swung overhead you could get out without the arm being all the way down - or open it to talk to someone. The power and lifting capacity seem great - I can get a lot done in a short time. Hope it helps.

    We have a 2005 Caterpillar 252b skidsteer and I use a bobcat s595 while working at my uncle's farm. Both are hand controls. Our Cat is a bit bigger but size aside I'll take our Cat any day over a bobcat for ease of operation, smoothness of controls and just the feeling of the machine on the cat is better.

    I'm a fan of Tele handlers these days , so versatile and easy to get in and out of , they don't screw the ground up when turning and have a greater lift capacity and reach .

    I wouldnt go foot controls if I was you. Takes some getting used to one lever doing driving and one doing loader but its so much more precise especially when doing small tight quarter jobs with loader. And my wife and workers can jump right in and figure it out pretty quick. Its basically like driving automatic car vs a manual.

    Joysticks are for whimps, joysticks are expensive and the electronics suck Get an analog machine and be done with it.... the fancier the controls the more expensive they are to repair. Looks like a nice machine Ryan

    i have been running hand/foot controls for 30 years and never had a problem. It's a real pain when one of those stupid hall effect joysticks decide to fail and you have to bend over for the dealer.

    I only run joystick controls as well much easier on the body your legs don’t feel like they’ve been pinned under a dump truck for 24 hours. You might want to go with a track machine as well a lot less changing of tires and where your not gonna be on pavement and how much you’ll end up using the machine tracks would cost u less over time no flats either

    s750 2 speed trans high lift good for filling big twin screw tmr engine has power does take fuel has issue with headlamps bulbs burning out and relay circuit board next to left joystick overheated/burned on the one at work. biggest issue is the poorly designed quick tach, both pins have to engage attachment fully or the cast clevis linkage above the pin will snap 10,000 times and believe me i've replaced it almost that many times. there's a problem with attachments getting packed with snow/ice so quick tach sucks in winter. at work they also have the new 2019 gehl R190's that are all joystick control only and i hate them, takes about 40 minutes for joystick to warm up on a -10 morning just to get it to move and when i does move there's a delay so crashing into overhead doors, livestock gates & tmr is going to happen even at idle speeds. mine is 1996 bobcat 853 old school foot pedals/joysticks starts up -30 below slow yes but drives/stops normal!
