The Cake Feeder Is BACK on the Ranch Truck! 🛻🐮

Since about March y’all have been asking, “When are you going to put the cake feeder back on your truck?” Well… today’s the day. 😂 In this video, Cody finally commits to keeping the 2025 ranch truck long enough to justify bolting the cake (cube) feeder back on the Bradford bed. We walk you through how we set the feeder, marked and drilled the holes, hunted down bolts, and then wired it into the existing hydraulic system so the cake feeder runs off the same remote as the bed. If you’re running a T&S Trip Hopper or similar feeder on a flatbed with hydraulics, this will give you some ideas on using a 12v solenoid and a “work light” circuit instead of dragging big cables into the dash. We also talk sirens, spotlights, and why we do not rely on the built-in cube counter. Thanks for riding along with us in the shop and pasture. We appreciate you being here. 🤎 Keep ranchin’, wrenchin’, and prayin’. ⏱ YouTube Chapters 0:00 – When is the cake feeder coming back? 0:30 – Why Cody almost traded this truck 1:30 – Deciding to keep it & reinstall the feeder 2:20 – Setting the cake feeder on the Bradford bed 4:40 – Lining it up & marking bolt holes 6:30 – Realizing we’re missing the bolts… 7:30 – Quick trip to the “mini Tractor Supply” 8:40 – Bolting the feeder down after dark 10:00 – How the T&S Trip Hopper actually works 12:00 – Wiring it into the hydraulic pump & solenoid 14:10 – Using the bed remote to run the cake feeder 15:20 – First cube test & next steps for the siren Subscribe to Bar 7 Ranch: https://bit.ly/3Xjjcv1 📩 Business Inquiries: [email protected] ✨ Watch Our Latest Videos Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QiSJMboeixoD_YeQkn6R3U&playnext=1&index=2 🙏 Faith & Family Sermons & Devotionals: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFxo_GG5mToxi1A6SBvbXw 🌾 Follow Bar 7 Ranch Daily Life: Facebook → https://facebook.com/bar7ranch Instagram → https://instagram.com/bar7ranch/ TikTok → https://tiktok.com/@bar7ranch X (Twitter) → https://twitter.com/bar7ranch Website → https://bar7ranch.com/ 🛒 Shop & Support the Ranch: 🔹 Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/codyanderikaarchie 🔹 Official Bar 7 Ranch Merch: https://www.bar7ranch.com/category/all-products 🔹 Personalized Cameo Shoutouts: https://v.cameo.com/H6Ej9WIV5Ab 📺 Watch More Bar 7 Ranch: 🚜 Ranching & Farming: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0RXocN3qCT99xUAli70mp0L 🔧 How-To & Fix-It Projects: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QTmJXfgFnKWuX3-p5Wexkw 📹 Family Vlogs & Adventures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QJkKrP0Orm0kZeoPduNdFz 🔥 Most Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0TjSjSjyBX5tjx4_18adL4y&playnext=1&index=2 🤠 About Bar 7 Ranch: Welcome to Bar 7 Ranch — where ranch life, family, and entrepreneurship collide.
