Watching these videos of all these farmers, is a lot more fun and entertaining the most TV shows they put out nowadays. I'm always waiting for the next episode.
Great seeing you guys again and all looking fit and healthy, nice to see all of your grain has gone from those bags now. Stay safe and happy. Rob from the 🇬🇧🚜
When I was about 6 years old, I filled the fuel tank on my dads 4020 with water after he put a new radiator in it. Watching you fuel the 4520 brought back that memory!
I was anticipating seeing how you managed that ripped bag. I guess it wasn't anything to write home about. Also, it's great to see Leg Arms working so hard. Please be careful Scott. God Bless all the Welkers!
Hello from Cleveland, OH. Since gravel is hard to come by out there. Try plywood or any kind of wood so your tires don't spin. I've had to do this many times as a landscaper. Our truck get stuck or our mowers get stuck. So we use plywood. If all else fails we pull the equipment out.
Thanks for the great and interesting video. Trying to move grain in muddy conditions is hard and not done. I have been there and done that. Oh my. The operation on the bag unloader is interesting. Seems to operate good and gets the job done. When you need storage for extra grain it sure is a option. The mud made for a complicated operation but you all worked your way through it, good going everybody. Spring time can make do things harder. Our ground in Iowa drys fairly fast, how about your ground where you are????? Thanks for your time and taking us along with this operation. You all take care. God bless all. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
see if you can get some large steel plates from somewhere, like army surplus. Work wonders to prevent sinking in muddy spots when standing still a while. Army engineers use them to create temporary parking lots for events all the time. And a tractor can pull them forward as the bag moves.
aha a stick and an old tire, I remember that when I was a kid, good form of entertainment specially if there are races. Just shows that whatever country ure in kids have the same idea when it comes to old tires.
Grain bags-portable, efficient, & a HECK of a lot cheaper than bins! THAT’s what I learned from farm-tubers ‘20. Too bad Iowa farmers couldn’t use them for corn, since their bins took a ride w/ Dorothy.
The problem with bags is there is no ventilation. Corn needs to be below 15.5% moisture to prevent mold and rot. You can put it in a bin at higher moisture and turn on the fan and be good.
@@jeremygrant1325 it can be. Corn is usually not harvested at lower temps. A lot of us use bin fans to cool the corn after harvest. You have to be careful about the outside temp and the inside bin/bag temp because it will cause water to condense on the inside which leads to sprouting it rotting. Bacteria will also flourish. A small place where the corn is damp can cause a huge problem because the decay process generates heat which just makes to problem spot spread. Bags are great for a short term solution if weather is against you or you ran out of bin space. I guess the easiest way to sum it up is the crop needs to breathe and regularly checked to make sure there are no problems. In my area corn is considered dry at 15.5% moisture. Any higher and the buyer will dock the price because they don’t want to pay for water weight. Last time I got docked it was $0.10 per 1/2 point moisture. It can add up in a hurry. Any other questions I’ll be happy to answer if I can. Thanks.
So put snow chains on one truck then that one truck stays at the farm and is dedicated to loading trailers then the other 2 can pick up the full trailers on more solid ground. As for the landing legs get a stack of pallets for the empty trailers that fit below the landing gear then you only have to crank a short ways and use the skid steer to move the pallets as for a full trailer I don't know what you could use but I imagine they are heavy.
Love your channel. I am not a farmer and with the risk of exposing my ignorance, what is the bag made of. They are the largest bags I have ever seen. Shame they are not reusable.
I've been waiting to see how you get the grain out of the bag. I drove a 4640 back in the late 70's early 80's.... great tractor and it was quite old then.....
To keep the wind from tearing up the tarps I've seen guys install a rope above the tarp across the trailer about 1/3 from each end . the rope is installed about a foot below where the tarp normally rides with about slack so it doesn't interfere with the rolling the tarp. Hope this make sense to you take care and be safe!
Nothing like muddy slick ground vs semi. Think those bags worked well - always nice to have something to fall back on if need be. Hope the family and you are doing well. Take care and be safe. 'Spin'
Another thing good with Grain Bags are you have a lot of plastic to put on your garden to avoid weeds. Just cut holes and plant a lot of strawberries! ;D
Seems like this would work best to use a grain cart to shuttle the grain from the bag up to trucks on higher dry ground... just thought I might offer up an idea! Love the content! Thank you🇺🇸🤠
Got me some simplisafe a couple months ago (with welker code of course) keeps me and my doggos safe. I wish I had it when a couple low-lifes broke in the garage and stole my motorcycle. Lessons learned. Great video, glad to see the grain moving! 👍👍
@@ruralconservative6625 lf you watch the premiere when it happening you can chat with them at the time and other in the comment section. Sometime i miss them that is when I leave a comment. I hope this helps. Good to see you have a great day.
Great video guys the bag extracter is pretty amazing the first time I ever seen one in use was on Thomas Bex’s channel he is right across the boarder from you guys 👍
I think the saying is if a groundhog see's a son then it will one more week of bagging. Also I found a farm family in Texas that I enjoy, Conley Banman is the name. They have the right flags on their equipment. God bless you and keep you safe.
Hi Nick I hope you're doing well yeah I seen it on Mike's Farm where they get the green out of the bag and they have a machine that fits on the back of the tractor that hooks on the bag and reels it in like a fishing pole which is cool you have to get one of those next I know you might know him he's in Canada but anyway Nick I hope your family is doing real well good video God bless🙏🚜
Great video Nick, those bags a really something ,the loading machine is really a piece fine Tech , OH I was wondering do you fellows know Mr Bob Quinn from Big Sandy Montana, I spoke to him several times about the Kamut Wheat that came from Egypt, also for Olec Safflower , I was wondering if he is still at Big Sandy Montana, once again great video, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.

Need to fab a 5th wheel deck plate setup for your I. Quad Trak for spring grain loading from the tubes. Bags, low initial investment, no safety problems, no bin loss in wind storms, fast filling and unloading>low labor costs, fast grain movement to hit a fast changing price market, super low maintenance costs, no electricity costs and line service.
You might think about leaving more room in between bags so the mud might be much of a concern or you could scrape the mud out of the way then put it back after you’re finished Good video you have much different grain storage this year than in past so it trial and error on a lot of this but you’ll soon have it figured out and all running smooth I’m sure
Great video Nick, looks like you had the power divider engaged on the trucks for the tandem axles in the mud? Never had to use that before but looks like it helped!
Leg Arms has the most amazing voice, and so good looking.And Nick has the bluest eyes, and also good looking, and your dad so sooo good looking! God has blessed your family in so many ways! I pray that your business will survive during these next 4 years with the crazies in charge...
You guys need some maxtrax for the trucks Made for 4x4s but they work for trucks as well Theyre just plastic boards with spikes on them so you can get grip We carry 4 around with us during seeding so we can get the trucks into the feiĺd
You got rid of the Quad Trac and auger cart a tad early guys. Keep the truck and trailers on the road or hard ground., and cart the grain from the bags to the truck.
You guys should put windshields on your side by sides. Just having a windshield on makes a world of difference. If you do end up getting some just make sure they can open a little for the warm weather.
I could see if you wanted to use bags long term it would pay to bring in a dozer and make a nice elevated pad with some slope to get run off. Would make a nice dry place to store them and load out from.
Hey Nick, please get that sore on your nose checked with dermatologist. My wife had the same and found it was skin cancer. Thanks to my father warning her about it. Just wanted you to be healthy and safe. Keep you the good work on the Farm and TH-cam!!!👍🏻
All that water where you don't need it. When they find a way to recover water that is making mud from a field/driveway then the farmer won't have to work like a rented mule to fix all the bent metal and broken parts as no one escapes from this for very long. I have seen more torn driveshafts, transmissions, parts of the wheel assembly ruined from getting stuck. In the winter time, I would go out to the bone yard and pull all the bumpers and miscellaneous parts we would need and just cause they are old, didn't mean they couldn't be used till summer anyway. I had a driver come in one spring day and on his shoulder was a older and a bit narrower bumper, an old one, and he said; I have worked here for like five years and I have the nicest bumper in the fleet... I am taking it off till spring and save it from death.... I gave him a bonus that month.
those old bags would work great for vapor barriers underneath concrete slabs could probably find the right person to sell them to, as that thick plastic vapor barrier stuff is a hundred bucks for a 100x20 ft roll

Cool!
Besides the buds best tractor they have. Lol I d love to see an old Snoopy or a few Alice’s getting around.
Those bags would make a great slip-n-slide at the lake house.
That was my thoughts exactly too as well. 😁👍lol
Or an old billboard

Man do I love that 4520. The engine removal / swap is what got me attached to the channel.
Everyone is busy unloading bags like your Canadian neighbor Mike Mitchell.
It's amazing that Nick caught Alan sooooooooo easily.
more big truck, love it
Good to see ye did haven't too much trouble hauling the lorries given the ground conditions. The sheer bolts did what they're supposed to do.
i really like those new led shop lights makes the whole shop brighter
From all the videos going around, your debagging machine is simply the best.

Looks like you could build the world's largest slip and slide out of one of those old bags. I enjoy your Channel.
I know some farmers use them as hay covers.. but a slip n slide sounds more fun!!!
If you watched the lake house vids, there's a heck of a nice hill goin down to the water!! 👍👍👍🏄🏄🏄🏂🏂🏂
3:56 - "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."
Is that you DC?
@@MillerFamilyFarms 😉
Wow that so cool! Ive always wanted to see how they unload those bags since a couple farmers here in my area bag their corn every year.
aha a stick and an old tire, I remember that when I was a kid, good form of entertainment specially if there are races. Just shows that whatever country ure in kids have the same idea when it comes to old tires.
Damn that IH rig sounds awesome. 🤜🤛🤜🤛🤜🤛👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

Grain bags-portable, efficient, & a HECK of a lot cheaper than bins! THAT’s what I learned from farm-tubers ‘20. Too bad Iowa farmers couldn’t use them for corn, since their bins took a ride w/ Dorothy.
I was thinking this too, new farms, or just farms expanding without the ability to build new bins, this is an incredible innovation.
Oh but we do use them in iowa just not as much as out west because we have elevators with storage alot closer than there
The problem with bags is there is no ventilation. Corn needs to be below 15.5% moisture to prevent mold and rot. You can put it in a bin at higher moisture and turn on the fan and be good.

18:28 the old Pete starts dancing along to the music 😂
Think I watched it 5 time hahaha 🤣
So so interesting. First time to see this sort of grain storage. Thanks!
Hey you guys, thanks for making a video of what your up to.
I hope your having a great couple of days off.
Around here we empty bags late winter when snow is gone and ground is froze in morning, or put chains on, or use grain cart and tractor.
Love your channel. I am not a farmer and with the risk of exposing my ignorance, what is the bag made of. They are the largest bags I have ever seen. Shame they are not reusable.

Great to see ya got the grain moved god bless
I always wondered how you emptied those bags. Never seen this before. Cool. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Looks like a little more stuck than you thought. Good job!
05:15 - HAHA, what is Leg Arms doing..
To keep the wind from tearing up the tarps I've seen guys install a rope above the tarp across the trailer about 1/3 from each end . the rope is installed about a foot below where the tarp normally rides with about slack so it doesn't interfere with the rolling the tarp.

pull out of that mud NO PROBLEM.
That's how the logging trucks do it.

What a Awesome grain bag machine made in Minnesota.
Looks so bright in the shop

Should of called Duggo and Chet, they’re great for getting stuck. Thanks for sharing.
Down here in Florida they but hay on top of the mud for the logging trucks to get traction
Nice I’m loving the music you started this video out with:).
We used those bags on are cabins retaining wall
Next year space your bags closer together so you’re 2,3 and 4th trucks are on the dry ground from the previous bag.
You guys should put windshields on your side by sides. Just having a windshield on makes a world of difference. If you do end up getting some just make sure they can open a little for the warm weather.
Good choice of music for the truck to bounce to when you were trying to pull it out lol Atb keep safe!
A trick i do when stuck in slight mud, i through a logging chain under a drive tire sometimes thats all it needs
Reopening the elevator for you? That's one case of beer, minimum :D
Nice video like always guys👍 should buy a 5wheel dolly and use the Bud to haul the wagons of the muddy area 😜

@welker Farms I spotted a gorgeous old tractor there.
Nick's truck was baggin' for traction!
I'm seeing myself out, take care bye! 😁
You need to install an exhaust fan to get rid of the exhaust fumes and CO2
Get a Heat- Rate of Rise sensors for attics and Shop less false alarms than Smoke Alarms. And firehouse has vents for exhaust -ask NAPA for them.
I hope there kids are interested in continuing the farm when they grow up would hate to see this farm go away
Very cool piece of equipment.
Awsome video thank you have a safe trip nick

The entire last minute and half I have to keep telling myself that this is a family channel, this is a family channel...
those old bags would work great for vapor barriers underneath concrete slabs
could probably find the right person to sell them to, as that thick plastic vapor barrier stuff is a hundred bucks for a 100x20 ft roll
U should put a flex pipe on the end of it so u can stay on the dry ground
Lol just out here catching prairie dogs in the ditch 😂😂😂
Ohh man, the sound of that International...
The Peterbuilt hop! 👌🏿
Never assume you are "Not that stuck" or just a little stuck. Stuck in mud or snow is always "really stuck"
With that mud - and its not the first time thats an issue - is it possible to fit some military style truck tires on your trucks?
Keep some hay or straw handy for the muddy spot.. keeps the truck from spinner ng and gives stability to the ground
Just roll out a mat of hay and drive on it
you could fill into your grain cart. that would handle mud better.
Is the answer a grain cart pulled by one of those big Case tracked machines instead of the 18 wheelers?
