“Can I be George Strait with you, I prefer farming on the ground.” ~Big Swede 😂
Quote of the year right there
@@ejking7759💯👍😂
New T shirt! Big Swede!
Man that ain’t no job for me , “that roof would never get fixed if it was up to me “
Needs to be 2-3 feet taller
Anyone else have some Clark Griswold - Christmas Vacation flashbacks when Chet was climbing the ladder?! Lol
I love watching Larson Farms Comedy Hour, keep up the great work!
Chet and Eric comedy show climbing a ladder. I enjoy watching your videos.
Great job putting tin on your building Chet Big Swede and Brody
Sometimes you boys remind me of Moe, Larry and Curly.
Only some of the time?
Great video Chet Dougo Big Swede and Brody
I love the casual sarcasm. Guys I work with are the same. We just don't get to do as cool a job as y'all.
Recommend you ditch the aluminum ladder and get yourselves a nice sturdy fiberglass one, rated to handle the Big Swede or heavier!
Keep safe friends.
You guys were so funny working on that roof. You looked on roof work, like I would look on farm work. 😅
Chet I’ve been following you for 3 years and didn’t know you we’re afraid of Hights 😂 I agree bro. I climbed silos when I was a kid but not now 😊
Climbed silos when I was a youngster not anymore either
The technology that farms use now days between auto steer and drones is crazy. Alway hat the transition between ladder and roof. Stay safe guys.
I am also not a fan of ladders but when farming you must battle your fears! Well done there you guys! AND I loved the way you used your cordless as a hammer! I would never do that of course! FUNNY!
Awesome drone footage Chet
You guys always are entertaining
Just so you guys know the ladder should be high enough at the crest of the roof so you can walk right onto the roof without having to crawl, ya want to be able to walk right up on the roof. And per osha guidelines ratchet strap the top of the ladder to the building if possible.
Also a good way to determine how steep your ladder should be is the treads are angled to you if the ladder is straight up and down so pull the ladder out until the treads are as parallel to the ground as possible. This seems to give the best angle without it feeling like the ladder will kick out.
Three rungs past and arm’s length vertically
When I worked in the steel mills, we called the ground guy the ground "squirrel". 😊
Hey guys, The repair job on your machine shed roof looked great! Getting up and down off that roof was a bit tricky.... job well done! Great drone shots of your fields. Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🚜
... I always look for anything new after my e-mail ...
This was hilarious watching you two on the roof
Always extend the ladder 3’ above the edge makes it a lot easier to access and a rope and a bucket for tools instead of climbing with them in your hands.
big yes on the rope and bucket
I was holding my breath the whole time you guys was up on the roof.. so scarey. Thank goodness you got your repairs done and got back down wheeww!! Hugs from Missouri
Awesome video Chet and guys. Thank you
You young men are awesome, smiling in the face of danger on that roof.😅 Love you guys.
“Yup you should be fine”
LIL😂😂😂
There’s a decal on the side of the ladder that helps you get the right angle
I love your style of leadership Chet, if something looks sketchy you go first 👍🏻
You guys always stay busy. Job well done!👍❤️
We had a friend ready to retire in a few months. Her ladder slipped as she was cleaning the living room window. The ladder slid sideways and she fell off. Her head hit the concrete steps. She went to Heaven just like that. She loved gospel music. She had some CD's at her memorial service. It had to be one sad memorial service. We knew where she was. We were sad to lose her. Then within a few weeks, two of her nieces got sucked into a load of canola as it was being unloaded. Her father could not prevent them being suffocated. Imagine how he felt. The bottom line, farming has some safety concerns. You guys know the difference even though you have "fun" kidding around with each other. Take care.
Great video guys thanks for sharing
I like how Eric thanked the ground when you both got off the roof of the barn.I am like both of you,not liking high places
A Genie boom lift and walking mats should be placed on the wish list. You have the Kodiak to haul it, so you are 1/2 way there.
Thanks for the vlog. I'm glad you both made ot safely!
Feet on the legs of the ladder, extend your arms out in front of you and touch the ladder while standing straight up. That’s the “rule” I learned when roofing on how to tell if it’s placed properly. And I think we always went two steps above roof line so you have something solid to hold while getting on the roof and off. Aluminum ladders a sketch when it taller. Get a real big bow the higher you go but fiberglass ladders are just so much heavier lol
Chet Dougo Eric Broodie that was great enjoyed it was fun drone footage was suckle clouds and all can't wait for next video.
Put your Toes touching the 2 bottom legs, stand up straight, reach your hands out, the close rung should be at your palms. That's the correct angle for all ladders. Atleast that's how they train us as firefighters
TEAM LARSON Have a great weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m with you fellers
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Working on that big water tank has to be hard. Sand blasting is hard work and expensive. So glad to see you power washing it. A fresh coat of paint will make it look better.
Nice older four wheeler you have. I assume you use it for spraying weeds I guess. See the pump and tank mounted on it. Handy unit to have.
That ladder and roof deal was not the best. Glad you both are on the ground safe. That was kind of scary if you ask me. Oh my.
Glad you got the roof panel fixed and everything went ok.
Thanks for everything Chet.
Really like your drone. Works super for surveying your fields like you are. Neat drone.
All for now.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Good stuff guys
Keep up the good work guys are your guys are good workers I love your shows and coupon do what you guys do
Good show
Should have let Dougo buy that fire truck a while back!
Good video good to see y'all
Great video
Chet doing all the work as usual
Great job repairing the roof. fixing roofs and landing a airplane are a lot like any landing you can walk away from is good so any roof that keeps the rain out is good. it's good Brody stayed on the ground so when the wind blows the ladder down he can put it back. It's easier to get on and off a roof when you have more rungs above the roofline. Take it from me never climb on a roof alone I fell off a ladder while climbing and was laid up for 8 or 9 months I laid on the ground for about 10 minutes before anyone found me. You could have spelled your name with the roof panels. Good advertisement for those who fly. a little fear helps keep you safe. never a dull moment watching you three work.
That roof adventure was a bit dicey!! Sixty or so years ago I would have run up that ladder and worked with NO qualms. Today, you'd have to hoist me up with a helicopter and I'd probable slide off due to the poop in my pants!! LOL When you looked over the ladder for the down trip I nearly lost it!! My how things change. Healing takes too long to take those risks any more. Don't worry guys, you will see. Up keeps getting harder, and down keeps getting farther. And getting UP from DOWN keeps taking more effort!! (and healing) Something for you to look forward to!! Good video. I sure as heck would not have been able to go up there. Even in a cherry picker.. I have second thoughts about city curbs now. LOL Stay safe guys. I was sweating one of you sliding off while you were adjusting those panels there. I knew my pucker factor would keep me anchored. It'll be another half hour before I can get off this seat.
“Hey can I be George Strait with ya?” 😂🤣👌🏼
That storm did have a heck of a good lightning show
Kool video guys. 🚜🚜🚜
Magnifique toit et le dorne😮😊
Never a dull moment 😮
Just a suggestion for roof repair in the future, use an old couch, chair, or other piece of foam cushion or to sit on for better grip and to lay your tools on so they do not slide off.
Going on 16 years as a roofer all I had to do was laugh at you guys while you were getting going up there and while you were on there, 16 foot high roof with a 20 foot ladder and going on about how much it was bending in the middle and all I could think was damn he would shit his pants if he seen how much bend is in a 40 foot ladder
We used to have a 48’ wooden ladder that we called the “Mankiller”. It would bow 5’to 6’ under my 165 lbs. 😮
@@daneclark3161 I have an aluminum and it’ll bow 8-10” when I have a bundle of shingles over my shoulder 6-8” normally me by myself
@@daneclark3161I'd buy a ticket to watch that show!!!!
Chet, having a history on ladders I can tell you that there is nothing to the being up high. It's that sudden stopping when you fall off. How do I know, yup, like I said, I have a history with ladders. Fortunately, it has always been like they say where car wrecks occur mostly closer to home. For me, it was when I was closer to the ground both times and thought I had already gotten to the last rung. I healed fine until I reached 70 and then the arthritis kicked in. Ah, the golden, er I mean Rust years 😂😅🤣. Be safe. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
The "Golden Years" are when you begin urinating on yourself. Very little good about growing old.
That was funny watching you and the big Swede on the roof. For not being the right skylight it turned out great. The drone video was cool. Be safe and god bless
Big Swede says " it'll grow back " lol.
Tie the ladder off two ways with ratchet straps. Stops side to side motion and tightens ground contact. Been there done that. BTW run the ladder up 3-4 rungs past roofline so you have better handholds.
Use a vicegrip on each side of the ladder and clamp it to the roof. Then use a rachet strap to hold the ladder to the roof. Also put the ladder up a little higher and you can get off and on from the side.
spoken like an osha compliant roofer
@@mikelewis3232 nope just a feller that had a ladder slide off the roof once
Loader bucket perfect
You should have gotten a clear panel...instant skylight..also run your ladder 4-5 feet past eave....gives something to grab to stepping off and on ladder
Watching you guys on the roof was scary! Love the use of drones to show how the crops are in the middle of the fields. I'm going to check with some farm friends here in SE MN is they use them. I don't think so. Hope Amy's new driveway project is going well with Dougo in his machines.
A blind man would be pleased to see your repair.
Chet I’m afraid for both of you, I get a sick feeling just watching you, I don’t like being in high places.
I had to skip it lmao
that whole shed moves when you do!! ha ha
Brody's down there to call the EMT's when needed.
Ladder should always be a minimum of 3-4 rungs above the platform you are stepping on.
I am now fully convinced that you two are crazy!
Thanks for not falling off the roof!
Thanks for not dropping us off the roof also.....lol
Make the ladder taller or get a taller ladder. So you climb up the taller ladder and just step off the ladder onto the roof. You also wearing boots. You should be wearing basketball shoes. Have you ever noticed a difference if you ran across a basketball court wearing proper shoes compared to your slip-on work boots. I hate being on a roof also but I've been on enough of them with guys that know what they're talking about and the tricks they taught me really help.
Good job on the different editing and video shooting styles 🤠👍
😅enjoyed the video Chet 😊
and a great end to the video Chet
Thanks😊
Next item on the online auction shopping list should be an offroad manlift/cherry picker.
Big fan of ALLLLL the drone footage
Larson Farm’n 🇺🇸
Poor Dougo
When there’s work to be done it gets done it’s all the shenanigans in between that makes it fun work ?
When climbing ladders, you need 3 points of contact at all times. That means nothing in either hand. Bucket and rope to bring tools up.
A while back Millennial Farmer had tornado damage. Glad you guys are safe
They actually live kinda close to each other
They are fairly close to each other.
Larson farms got hit twice last summer. Either tornado or straight line winds
@@cw93711 I thought 'Windy City' was Chicago. Larson Farms should change the name to 'Windy Acres'
All I hear is, “come with me, and you’ll see, another OSHA violation.” Lol waiting for the safety truck to pull up any minute. Farm work, hard a$$ workers getting the job done. Love the videos and the crops are looking better.
"Come with me / And you'll see / A world of OSHA violations" -- Diesel Creek
If you have pallet forks for the loader tractor you should make a lift cage for it to lift you guys up on the roof. Way better than a ladder
You can't make a 20 minute video about fixing a roof and keep people entertained, Chet and Big Sweede hold my water and watch this. Always entertaining
💯💯💯
Can't believe people have nothing better to say than your tank needs painting. 🤦.
Larson Farms, keep on keepin on🤘🤘🤘
It's the only thing on the farm that does not look brand new. I have never seen a farm as clean, neat and better organized as Larson Farms.
I have to do the same thing with the old hay barn with a steep slope....I will be 10 times more puckered, scary stuff and things nightmares are made of. Good video!!!
Like the change up with the Outro 🤘🏻🇺🇸🦅
Old Brody got a new nickname GG 😂 ground glue keep on keeping on😂😂😂😂
nice touch at the end speaking to the drone!
We need some ladder training lol! 3-4 rungs above the roof line so you can step on and off and be upright! 👍🏼
Translucent panels would make great repair roof panels! Like the videos!
4:36
One more rung above the roof!
Makes it easier to transition.
That ladder has a give away for angle placement.
The rungs are angled. If they are flat, you got it at the right angle.
I have a solution for your fuel tank issue. Treat the rust patches with SEM Rustmort. You can get it from Napa. Take that and hand apply it with a scotchbrite pad (3m p/n 07447 is my go to). Make sure to wear your spray mixing gloves and PPE because it is very strong.
Once you have the rust treated prime/seal it with Martin Senour Finish 1 FP401 lacquer primer. Once it’s dry top coat it with Valspar Industrial Mix TB540 or TB550 for gloss or TB543 for Semi-Gloss. All of these are products that you can get from Napa…at least you can put here in Oregon.
Ladders make me nervous to. Those beans do look a little rough. I remember those days trying to figure out what do we do with this.
I seem to recall y'all have harnesses for working in grain bins? Maybe hook to ground anchors on the other side of the building, so you can't slide off?
“Can I be George Strait with you” is THE best thing I’ve ever heard, also just a heads up Swede I’ll be stealing that for sure
Tie your self off . Get ur lift n go up on roof . God bless u guys n families
Watching yous on that roof is hilarious 😂😂😂
VERY NICE 1500 TRX ! ! ! - - - YOU Seem To Work HARD, therefore you deserve nice things. I am just curious though how efficiently the 5.5 foot bed Ram TRX works in a practical manner in your row crop farming business, lol. On a separate note, I will admit, you all made me nervous being on that roof without being tied off but thankfully you were able to make the repair without anyone being hurt. Keep Up The Hard Work and Keep Sending us Loyal Subscribers new posts. - - - I would though love to hear your thoughts on not only how efficient that truck is for your farming business but in addition, how much your employees are being taken care of first and foremost with all of the tools, equipment and vehicles they need to perform their work efficiently each and everyday. - - - THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME ! ! !
Used to go to the river sand bars lake shores, bright sunny hot day, window screen , bucket, n a flat shovel. Scoop top inch or so dump on screen over bucket, what don't sift through. Throw aside
That’s a project I could get in to!
I empathise with you guys on heights m I'm so bad I I get the shakes badly I never go up because I get sick
Ladders: you want it at a 70 degree angle. If it is too steep, it could tip over backwards. If it is not steep enough, the base could slide out from under you. The recommendation is 3-5 rungs above the roof if possible.
Scary moments on that roof, glad you got that sorted!
What drone are you using Chet?
I was shaking like a leaf, gripping my chair & freaking out every time Chet slid down the roof.
That was worse then top of the bin footage.
My husband 😂at me, of course.
Lol never used a ladder before lol
