i'm a 38 years old man and after watching this channel for a few years i often catch myself wondering how things would have turned out different for me if i had a father like nick and legarms has, you are still a bright energetic man Mr.Welker full of love, hard work,and wisdom also some pretty good dad jokes. I know your boys feel really lucky and proud to have you in there lives and we all here in youtube land are very lucky to be able to see and hear your words. We all love you and are grateful that you are here with us God Bless You Mr.Welker and your family.
Scott I am 70 years old now. Been driving those trucks all my life. I still fee the same way you do when I hear an air horn or see a big truck going down the road. Thank for the great videos
Thanks Bob for taking us along down to the lake. It certainly is a very beautiful and peaceful looking "hideout". I am thankful you are able to enjoy and share with us. Blessings.
Mr. Welker, you have a blessed family. I do not know how you share so much and still remain productive-but you do. I am grateful for what you produce. Video and farming.
Scott on your fold back airseeder, you need to inspect the box tubing for the packers for cracking. Have someone who knows what they are looking for inspect it, then show you the cracks. Maybe then they can show you a repaired airseeder. Torgerson’s or Zerbe’s have patched a lot of fold backs. Some never cracked. A lot do. Also when you replace any tires put on 12 ply. Go to town, get a center section rim for a spare. Better is to get a center section rim & a standard rim. That way you can have a spare for both style of rims. Also up in the rear section of the hitch, right in front of the main box beam, is a hydraulic valve controlled by a pipe from the wings. What happens is the bolt holding the pipe to the valve, sometimes is not put together correctly. If the bolt sticks too far down, it can snag, breaking the $1200 valve. We were down for 3 days at the start of seeding. When folding or unfolding, GO BY THE MONITOR! You can bend parts. Good luck with your new airseeder! Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.
Hope is what you need for 2022, hope the weather is in your favour, nothing & nobody controls that. Despite whatever else you might believe. I Hope you have a good 2022.
It looks like the air drill trade took place in Sweetgrass, I hauled grain over to Nagy's farm elevator almost ten years ago and it looks familiar to me in the video!
Check the packer pivots on that drill, if they are cross bolted pins, replace them with 1x10" bolts. The cross bolted pins have a tendency to leave packer gangs in the field. The 1" bolt needs a plate welded on to prevent the bolt from rotating and a self locking and jam nut.
I am amazed at the trust in humanity up there. Leaving tractors and other equipment all over your property in the fields miles away from your home trusting nobody comes by and steals it.
I live in kalispell and the amount of people that moved here is insane. Going to town now is like a big city. Still love this valley, have been here my whole life. That spring that you got water from is what we call Bernie park and yes it’s the best drinking water around. Apparently evergreen just below kalispell has some of the best water also, it’s pumped from a well and just filtered. No chemicals added. I just met your son nick at midway rental a few days ago, was kinda hard to talk being that we both were being helped by staff at the time, but it made my day to meet Nick in person and briefly talk . I watch all your videos and love seeing a good local family all working in harmony. God bless you all ✝️
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I live up on foothills road very close to the strawberry lake access turn off. Basically on the East mountain side of kalispell. Beautiful area. I was born in harlowton mt, moved to the Flathead when I was 4-5 yrs old.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Heartfelt thanks to Bob for the video parts on the tire repairs and the visit to the lake house. That is a lot of patches in one tire-wow. Hey, but it works so that is what counts. New tires coming. Thanks for showing us around the lake house and the lake. Absolutely beautiful lake , the scenery is beyond words. Just great. Like you said Bob great place to veg out. Good pun. The filming of the drive through the mountains was beautiful. Thanks for doing that. Watched it several times. Nick and Scott are getting more of the ditch work done for pipes to the new homes. Good going. Really like your new drill. Nice condition and fairly new. Interesting how you meet at the border and exchange to your truck. Just like in the movies. Trust the new drill will be a benefit to your operation. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
I've driven that road between the Blackfoot Reservation and Kalispell a few times. It's amazingly beautiful. My wife and myself can't wait to be living in the Flathead Valley of Montana.
In the 60s we lived between Columbia falls and the G.N.P. and hauled lot's of water in old steel milk cans from a spring just like that. I can still remember how cold and the flavor of that water!
A few days at the lake house with beautiful weather is well deserved after the drought, then hail & shortened harvest. It’s been a tough year for our farmers. Heart breaking for sure.
Welker DAD, is a HOOT !!!! LOVE the dry HUMOR !!!!! keep it up !!!! there is one of those "always flowing" pipes, ( ran by National Parks Service, I think....???) near where I grew up, near BIG CEDAR, OK......(google that, for a taste of in the MIDDLE-OF-NOWHERE !!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha) (lived there from about 1963 til about 1976 or so.....) had to take a 22 mile or so drive, on school bus, to my school, in Whitesboro, OK..... I lived about 6 miles EAST of Big Cedar, close to the Arkansas state line
Just outside of Columbia Falls Montana I've been there several times in the wintertime they'll take and put spray dye on the fall on the ice is gorgeous
Bob...here's hope that clear mountain water keeps your step springs "lubricated" for years to come. Looks like ya'll had beautiful scenery across the state for your trip! Hoping the family is feeling better...and Thank Ya'll for farmin' and feedin'...and on this day (Nov. 12) here are Thanks to our Veterans who keep us free and safe .....24/7/365...🇺🇸 !
My cousin visited Stevensville Montana about 4 years ago. He packed up and moved their about 3 years ago. Montana is America's best kept secret for sure.
Hello Bob, you & Koby have all the spring in your steps needed, but I agree with you, in the mountain area Korca Albania there are similar water spouts with watering troughs for cattle & horses,the water is full of minerals its really cold to drink, you never see sick people in that area they all seem to live to 100 hundred years ,my Fathers Family originally from mountains in northern Italy came and lived in that area of Albania, my father left there in about 1936 lived in callide valley , in 1984 I had taken him home to see family and we went to this area to drink that beautiful water,man it was cold ,Dad was born in 1900 passed away 2005 almost 105 years old so there must be something in that Mountain mineral water jut a bit of History, Bob the Boys are always doing great work, I love seeing family working together, Bravo good stuff, Cheers & Best Wishes. Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Central Qld Australia.👍
Italy is a really beautiful place I have never been but wish to go. As my Nonna's and Nonnos migrated to Queensland Australia from Sicily. And Italy does have some amazing views it is a very special place to me as I have heard story's even about my great great grandparents.
One good thing about how y'all operate, is you do everything you can for yourselves. It costs 20 bucks to fix a tire here, so she'd have paid an extra 120 bucks, basically, for the tire repairs. Some people just keep taking stuff to the tire shop and don't think about it. At that rate, a tire machine pays for itself pretty fast.
@@4x4Mudmaster I've done tires for a living back when I was young, so I'm familiar with it and not too good for tire work, which some people have admitted to me they are. I literally use one of those old manual machines from Harbor freight. I gave 40 bucks for it probably 20 years ago and I can't tell you how many tires I've fixed on that thing. I've got more time than money, so I tend to put out effort, to save me money. 👍🏻
Our first dusting of snow today here. Was hoping for another warm up but doesn't look like that is going to happen this year. Hope the family and you are doing well. Take care and God Bless.
If you guys were in Indy, you were just about 35-40 minutes south of me. That is a beautiful lake and what y'all have done with the lake house is amazing. I don't know if I could ever leave Indiana, but if I were to move out West, I think Montana would be a great place to live.
Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do with the airbag I did a similar thing when the lower stud sheared off my truck in downtown Phoenix... 9 hours on the shoulder for a road call so I disconnected the bad bag and raised the leveling valve a little higher so I got some suspension to get 10 miles down the road and got my bag put it on myself and saved 7 1/2 hours but looks like you're not putting extra weight on the back so 3 bags are plenty for pulling that drill not much weight will be on that hitch as opposed to a full load of dirt in the bed
I like to use the patch plugs but I don’t guess you really need to because it looked like his patches were working good but maybe on the ones close to the side wall
Nick and Leg. Your dad has really warmed up to the channel. He is a really good rep of how he has raised you. God Bless you all.
You guys have a good dad,,,,,reminds me of my dearly departed dad,,,be nice to him,,,,he deserves it,,stay safe,,and enjoy each others company,,,😇🇺🇸😍

What a different world it would be if all fathers were like Bob Welker. I suspect Mom played a big part, too.

Here is to you Dad blessing my friend...Thanks
Love your dad's puns, just like that tire he's been down that road before and I feel like he adds traction to the channel.
Thanks Bob for taking us along down to the lake. It certainly is a very beautiful and peaceful looking "hideout". I am thankful you are able to enjoy and share with us. Blessings.
Y'all's dad is the king of dad jokes and puns. He brings a smile to my face everytime he strings them together.

Great video , especially the last part with your dad , love the scenery .....
We have the exact same thing in the Black Hills! A spring coming out of a rock formation! Best water ever!
I am amazed at the trust in humanity up there. Leaving tractors and other equipment all over your property in the fields miles away from your home trusting nobody comes by and steals it.
So glad to see you relaxing. U deserve it and God Bless each of you and your family
Thanks, God Bless!
Robert Welker is on fire! Thanks to all of you for the great content.
🤣😂 Boy oh boy Bob sure had a hopper bottom load of puns! It’s a good thing Bob wasn’t working on the exhaust system….he be exhausted 😆
😊
Thanks for taking us on a spin down those stairs and as you were winding down the vacation path at the lake...
Thanks for showing us your beautiful area of this wonderful country! God bless!
Love the positive vibes on this one. You have lots you could complain about, but choose to find gratitude instead.
Thanks for this years drive through the mountains Bob! Place is awesome.

Yes I too never get tired of Bob's awesome content.
We have a lake place back home in Minnesota,there’s nothing like that quiet serenity you get sitting lakeside.
Dad jokes for days. I absolutely love them and I show this to my dad and grandpa and they love it as well.
Without being weird, Bob is on my bucket list of people to meet. As we say in Australia, just a top bloke!
In the 60s we lived between Columbia falls and the G.N.P. and hauled lot's of water in old steel milk cans from a spring just like that. I can still remember how cold and the flavor of that water!
Congrats on the drill upgrade. Nice to see Bob, mom and daughter have a little R&R time away from the farm.
Bob, I enjoyed your cabin and lake tour. You and your family have a lot to be proud of.
Beautiful presentation! Thank you for all your work on the videos!
Our pleasure!
Great video Bob
Bob I was feeling the pressure!!!!!!!
Don't inflat the !!! 😁
Great Welker Farms Video, thanks for sharing
It's great to see something from Canada,I am from New Brunswick,, Canada across the border from Maine
Great video and Bobs visit to the lake house and Gods country was magnificent. Thank you for sharing and God bless.
A few days at the lake house with beautiful weather is well deserved after the drought, then hail & shortened harvest. It’s been a tough year for our farmers. Heart breaking for sure.
So glad to meet you guys at Indianapolis.

Love the fluorescence colors too

Beautiful country and family
Get you some tireject and put it in the tire works pretty good and you never have to worry about patching tires every again.
I stayed in Kalispell back in September when I went to Glacier National Park. Drove all the way from Alabama.
The man gets on a roll and he just can't stop.😂😂😂😂 Love it.
Great video Nick
some great shots of big sky country
Electric drill on the tire repair Wow that brought back memories of my grandfather's drill
I' m 66 Lol 😆
Thanks for the tour down the road. Water from the mountain springs is so sweet. Love 💕 your channel. RockingG East Texas
We had a bunch of them in Vermont and you're right, the water is sweet, if one can imagine that.
"LOVE" the Dad jokes (as an old dad myself ! )
I was stationed in Great Falls for three years. Montana isn’t for everybody, but we loved it there.
Great you got all this done before winter starts !!
I drive truck for a living. I still love air horns and Jake brakes.
One of the best sounds is a Jake brakes 🤜🏽🤛🏻👍🇺🇸👍

I am sure they were well aware of that before they purchased that machine much less before you commented that common sense statement...
I just had some tubeless motorcycle tires mounted and balanced off the bike. 60$ each. Car tires are 30+ now. Time to get a tire machine.

Great video. You have such a great family and attitude. Never been to Montana, so thanks for sharing.
Beautiful lake house 🏠
I was wondering about that, I happened to be crossing for work when I saw the drill, it’s a good investment for the future of the farm
What a coincidence
I have been to that sping, it is so clear and cold. That is a beautiful area in Montana.
It sure is!
Great Dad 🙂
Just now watching Made me smile. Merry Christmas to all the family!! May 2022 be a grand year!
Remember the reason for the season!
How did I miss that spring mountain water along Hwy 2, on my way to Glacier Park?
Camped at Hungry Horse Reservoir, which is not far from Glacier.
It's called Bad rock canyon after you leave hungry horse and the road cuts right next to the river.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Ahh, not far west of Hungry Horse. Long stretch of road construction.
Beautiful place y’all have!!😎👍
Just add a bottle of Bars Leak, Liquid Aluminum Stop Leak. Great stuff. You won't have a leaking radiator.
Our first dusting of snow today here. Was hoping for another warm up but doesn't look like that is going to happen this year. Hope the family and you are doing well. Take care and God Bless.
Cool video, Montana looks awesome.
A balance of work and play, makes Bob a "pun guy!" 👍😁👍
My dad used to love to drive down to Kalispell area from Calgary with me in the 80s the scenery and people just can't be beat!
Bob I absolutely love how you play-on-words! You’ve got a great sense of humor !

The case seeder, is that the model that Mike Mitchell was slagging off yesterday about the sensors that will go wrong in the middle of unfolding?
I wondered that too? He talked like setting those openers was hell on earth. I hope they have better luck
Despite nailing that tire repair Robert, i still tend to think it fell a little flat..any chance you could patch that up in the future?
It's only flat on the bottom
Next month he'll re-tire the car
his narration had me howling laughing. funny man
I like to use the patch plugs but I don’t guess you really need to because it looked like his patches were working good but maybe on the ones close to the side wall
Congrats on the new house nic
We have springs just like that here in Maine, there is a difference.
