I wish folks that have never fabricated anything could understand how much work you've put into this. Did real good job guys. Best of luck with everything.
As a fellow fabricator I notice and appreciate the amount of work you put in. Awesome job guys!
Ki
Wow, has taken months of work, and I am sure in some cases, reworking. Good to see the results, am sure Leg Arms has called it by many names... 😆
Appreciate it, we are thrilled with how it turned out and already have many plans for improvements
Thar machine Is amazing. To just fine tune it at the start speaks volumes of y'alls understanding of how it would work.
Great Job - another example of being a Farmer / Engineer / Inventor / manufacturer - many hats. LOL old age is a bear...
Great project. Most farm equipment designs come from farmers. One suggestion. That white shaft looks like it could use a center pillow bearing. I know shake is the name of the game. Anxious to see it all painted. Good luck on your medical.
Hey Legarms, cut the handles off of the 4 leveling jacks and weld nuts on the crank shafts. Then you can use a drill to raise and lower them much easier/ faster. You could weld a socket onto one of the handles so that it can still be done manually. Just a thought. Great work.
Spring loaded pinned trailer jacks would be a great addition as well. :-)
I was about to comment this, way faster and easier.
Hey Guys love watching you Fab. We have those Jack legs odour trailers in uk. We inserted a undersized piece off box inside. So slides out to create an extension. Sacred with a tractor pin. Less winding and you a longer leg for leveling. We also added the nut like other comments so can be lifted with a drill. Keep Fabbjng.
You guys are amazing; showing us how to just do It! Most importantly providing information relating to the positive qualities of people who say “just make it happen!”
RD Smith here from Big Sky Country - Great Falls, MT.
Watching the three Welkers construct and repair in your shop is priceless. I’ve watched your series of videos over and over again just to pick up tips!
Yep, you’ve motivated an 80 year old to break out the Miller welder and plasm cutter and start just “doing it.”
I have a Deere 1025R. To make the small Cat One tractor more suitable for my needs, here outside of Great Falls, I started building, in my garage, attachments from tool, fuel, and spray trailers to trailer ramps, and restoring my 18 foot vehicle trailer. Yep, you three are motivators.
Now, only if you could get the price reduced on steel, red dye diesel and gasoline, my remaining years would be perfect. My wife of 58 years would greatly appreciate that too; keeping me occupied in the garage instead of hanging out in the kitchen!
Many thanks to you and family!
God Bless
David
Appreciate the kind comment David and hats off to you for staying active and getting things done at your age. You're an inspiration!
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
I don't know why but I had a HUGE smile on my face the entire video. Love to see the ingenuity and ability of a farmer. People think farmers are "simple" or that anyone can do it... not so much! Keep it up!!!
Great job all of you. I mean, you brought Shake, Rattle, and Roll to life(that was the name my youngest daughter gave it). That was alot of work, and trial and error. Are you set up for orders when they come in? LoL...
I can sympathize with you Nick. I'm 38 and have found out the hard way more than once that I can't go hardcore on my weight lifting anymore.
35-38 hahaha see where you are in another 25yrs.
Were rebuilding a peanut harvester and even that is a heck of a job u guys make us farmers proud keep op the good work thanks guys
All the little lights and forethoughts is pretty impressive, cool they made that thing. You can tell it'll be the dream when they're done.
Good job Welker Fab Shop, congrats on the DIY power screen!)) Pray for Ukraine, they're farmers too.
Between your dad and his sons you guys have welding, fabricating, and electrical design and wiring covered what can’t you guys manufacture. God blesses a hard working man who takes care of his family, worships God and you my friends are blessed. Show the world real men still seek God in our crazy time. Keep up the hard work and show the next generation things aren’t just given to them.
Make a star wheel tool to spin those trailer jacks. Weld another straight on the handle and cut some slots in a socket. Much faster to get them down to the ground
That way you can still keep the handle for fine tuning
Welkers...your channel is always, always positive. Problems are not negatives to the three of you. They are challenges you work on and fix. Thank you for the fine example you give us.
💪👍👌🤩 AWESOME BUILD .... Always easy to fine tune with COMMON SENSE ENGINEERING like the little adjustment in the feed hole there!
GOD BLESS - KEEP SAFE - HEAL SENSIBLY - 🙏🙏 😍😍😍😍😍
Well done guys this build has brought back memories of when my dad my brother and myself worked on the farm building a new milking system and many other projects so good to do things together cheers from OZ
Nothing is better than a Bosch pump. Unless you have exsperienced it, when you build something so custom and specific to your operations and needs, when it finally works and does what you wanted it to, theres very few feelings in the world like it after family. You finally get to stand back and watch your creation/ equiptment work and realize that the hands and minds of those involved are what built it. When I was a kid I would look at my grandpa's hands and think about all the things he had done, built, modified with his hands and every scar and broken and crooked finger told a piece of the story of each thing he did. It's amazing what we can accomplish when we want to.
Prayers to you for quick healing!
Nick, Legarms and Bob I just renewed my membership for you all after a year of homelessness i Wanted to bless you all again as God Has been Good to me
Thank you much. Blessing 🙏
love it when a plan comes together :) :) :) :) .. I own a 85 k sq foot auto body shop in MA ..we have about 90 cars right now ( winter lol ) my guys invent stuff every day to make the job perfect , I'm 65 years old and learn something new every day ..gotta love it . ( I am not kidding , I do learn a new trick every single day , as small as it might seem ) .. that's why I love watching you guys show ..( and the other guys as well :) :) :)
Awesome build. It's amazing how our workouts change with the years. I started working my biceps thru "curls"; however, it was my abdomen that got bigger. LOL.
I think it was George Perrard who said "I love it when a plan comes together" on the A team TV series. It looks like your plan is coming together. Thanks for sharing. Happy subscriber 😊.
Praying for a quick recovery. "gimpimg around"
Glad to see Leg Arms put some protection on that shaft I was really worried about Nick getting fascinated by it spinning, and have an O Shiny moment and try to grab it!
The cleaner is working great. Lifting weights - my days of bench pressing 280 - 300+ pounds days are done for a while also. Then I'm your dad's age, would have to start light and work my way back up to that. Hope it heals and you are ok. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe and God Bless.
Just a suggestion, what if you cut part of the handles on the 4 corner jacks off and welded a nut to end. Then you could use a drill or impact driver to run the jack up and down for quicker and easier set up. Absolutely beautiful job on the build! Wish I had your skills to be able to do things like this!! God bless!
I thought they should just play a sound of a drill over the sped up video while using the cranks. Million dollar man moment.
An impact will ruin it pretty quick ...
@@donaldtayloe4406 it would have to be a battery impact, but if you run it at a low enough RPM it shouldn't damage the jack
Just saw your comment, best option for sure!
Muy bueno lo que hacen, los miro siempre desde Argentina
I was told a split pea would still germinate. The neighbour had the wrong rollers in his tank and ground them up pretty bad and still had a good crop.
Scott glad u got that picture of him cleaning the shop n remember if he fires u he has to clean the shop all the time
Glad the cleaner works n sorry nick got hurt yall be safe
Magnificent, brilliant, I award you all a US navy Seabee for your incredible ‘ CAN DO” spirit.
How about using some piece of soft wood under those jacks? One of things I do in my work is to build scaffold around buildings and we always put piece of wood under whole construction because metal itself is not good on friction on the ground especialy when you have gravel or something similar there. Just use piece of wood to split load on the ground. It should limit tear and wear of any mechanical parts.
Congrats on cleaning your own peas.
I loved how fluffy the snow seemed and
stay humble Hollywood, your kids need you whole! Prays for a minor injury.
Had to watch it twice! So incredible to watch! Love the segment.
Man I sure like that old corn binder...you fellas did a awesome job on that old work horse....
It's always a good day when your "this should work" plan, actually works besides some adjusting.
Hi from Australia, you are receiving hundreds of comments. The positive feedback, praise and prayers you are receiving are well deserved. Scott, you have done a wonderful job, as you mentioned in a previous vid you are self-taught, what a great achievement. With your father Bob and Nick what a team. From one farmer to another we cop a lot of flack trying to feed the world, but what a satisfying life (Not job)
Thanks for showing and saying something about the motor start startup procedure. I think if you had all the breakers on with the main breaker off and then turned on the main that would be more instantaneous surge than what that main could hold. It works and runs under load with how you have it, very sweet, and grats.
You and your family are so talented. You know how to work using each other’s strengths and weaknesses. God bless you guys and your families.
Nice! Glad to see her run. Great video thanks for posting
Thanks for watching Greg!
That is fantastic! Amazing fabrication projected. I've enjoyed the process. Blessing on the Welker Family! Peace
You guys did a real good job on that cleaner it takes a lot of imagination and craftsmanship to build something like that looks like it is going to do the job you need I am sure you saved a lot of money by making it your self
I guess now you have peas of mind that your creation works so good. 😇😎👍
Love it when a plan comes together... the cleaner is looking good..
Nice job on your build . Looks like it will work well for you . I can see you Incorporating It into your bin system in the future !
I popped a bicep tendon from dumbbells. Had to have have surgery and PT. That was 5 years ago. This week I am finally back up to the same weight that popped it. I took it easy and made sure there wasn't any pain. The pain months before it popped was a warning. I listen to those warning now.
Looks like a great piece of nicely designed and thought out kit. Thing I like most though about so many of your projects is that you're always working together as a family.
Just a thought.... on your leveling jacks, zip cut the crank handles off and weld on a 3/4" nut, then you can utilize a cordless impact to adjust the levelling jacks ... a time saver. Great job fellows!!
Looks like the auger drive shaft could use a center bearing, otherwise, an amazing test run. Machines that complex usually need a lot of tweaking, but you guys seem to have nailed it. Cracked stuff usually needs an optical puffer system to clean up the product, and they're expensive and touchy. I think you have a winner!
Great job guys! So satisfying for you I am sure and it is to watch as well! Definitely a sea of peas! :) I am praying for your yields this year!
Great job on the cleaner project. I have one suggestion to throw out there. On the air output of the pre-cleaner, fab up a cyclone dust collector. You'd be able to catch a significant portion of the chaff and gravity feed it into the dockage auger. It'll help reduce the ground mess.
Holy cow! Nick is cleaning the shop! 😂 Not a bad test run, few tweaks i like what I saw.
Impressive machine for the first season of operation! Had to laugh at the subtitles talking about the 'pee cleaner'!
I can tell lots of stories. Years ago bought used grain elevator, 110 ft tall. Got good deal. Was told by consultant to install restrictions in some downspouts. Did that. Corn cracked, heated in 43000 bo bin. Tried every thing to cure problem. After fighting problem, called bin company said CURE PROBLEM!
They did. Closed restriction playes,plates, of problem.
They had left v plates gap at 1 inch. Just another place to beat up corn.
You gave the game away on an Instagram live feed weeks ago but it is much better said in edited video, Leg Arm's face when they are about to switch it on for the first time is priceless, the visible stress, but I have to say congratulations to you all for creating another awesome machine.
Good to hear! Thanks James!
Very good video and great job on cleaners looks great
Nick, You know better than working in the weight room without a spotter. The cleaner is a thing of beauty in my eyes. Remember it took Thomas Edison 73 experiments before he got his first light bulb to burn more than a minute. Great job Bob on the wiring of the machine. And Kudos to the brothers for their fabrication skills. Your Cleaner will be the talk of the town diners.
Nice to see the cleaner up and running.
hello nice to see you all got the cleaner working,best to all.
Paint it blue 💙 match your hoodies, match your shed and match the skies of big sky country . 😁smiles from Huntsville Ontario 🤘🇨🇦🤘
Awesome 👏🏻 I love building things for myself instead of buying them (not on this scale though). You could attach a couple of spirit levels to the trailer frame, one across and one lengthways to get the machine level. Also, what about cutting the jack handles off and weld nuts on instead, that way you could use a power tool to wind them up and down. An old socket on the end of the cut off handle would mean you could use it manually too.
When you have an idea then build on it and it actually works, that’s amazing!
Maybe you could weld hex heads on the. jacks so you can run them with an impact driver.
I was going to suggest the same thing. But didn’t want to sound like a know it all. To the genuses that built and designed it. Because the men and machine are just that genus.
Been there, done that.
Made a seed hopper on back of fertilizer trailer. Used a brushed seed augur . Worked great for soybean seed. Gotseed corn in big bags
Big tractor on hydraulic seed augur. BIG MISTAKE. Would NOT move 1 ;ag of seed corn
Ended up using 5 gallon pail to load planter. Ugh! Corn would jam that TIGHT!
Steel augur are noted for cracking seed. Check that for cause.
Had neighbor said; CAN'T LIVE long enough to make all the mistakes.i accepted that as a challenge.
Perhaps the peas are splitting because they are colliding on a steel surface inside the air chambers. Perhaps line the inside chambers with something less dense than steel.
They do hit rubber belting on the divider
Hello Welkers,
You should weld a nut on those jack handles and us a power drill. Love the videos keep up the good work and God bless and stay safe.
You all are awesome, take an idea and turn it into reality, totally awesome job! 👍
Great work. Incredible amount of time in this but you should be exceptionally proud of the end result!
Great Job Fellows, your Air Cleaner looks a top Job, Bob the Electrician, Nick the all rounder & Camera Man, Scott the Welding Man, and put you all together are the Family Farming Engineering Team , I take my Hat off to you fellows, you are a great inspiration to all Farmers ,Cheers & Best Wishes Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
Good to see another Aussie watch the family farming. Know Biloela well.
I followed you as you built that pea cleaner. It looks like it works real good always have some minor modifications with building something but you guys did a great job on that my hats off to you guys
I always loved doing the bench press but then i got too busy farming. I had to roll the bar off a few times when i was lifting by myself,so hope you heal up real quick. The pea hulls make good cattle feed too.
Just a suggestion. Get 4 round disc levels. Attach to the top of each leveler jack. Great video. Keep'em coming.
Works good may want to put a support bearing on the long shaft for discharge auger just a thought good video.
Gday Welkers! I hope everything is looking better this year.
Idea for snow pusher. Old positrack rubber tracks. Cut to desired width. Tip up on edge make frame to mount and to self level during use. Perfect for cleaning. Levelling snow. Etc.
Love it when a plan comes together. 👍👍
looks like it was working fine ..I would like to see you add guards around the belt areas and the around the augern drive on the front just for darm safeety1...nice job overall and keep the vids coming!
Will be adding the guards
Just a little “tweaking” is what I would call it…, “fine tuning”…, if you will…
Great piece of work,
Thank you gentlemen.
A few suggestions , maybe if you can get the level bubbles from 2 levels and have them on a point on the trailer that you know is flat to the shaker bed.
Then use them to make sure your dead level when setting up.
Also something for your own health and safety (i know.. i know.. but don't want to see you guys hurt) would be guards over the belt drives, even a mesh setup to keep weight down would be a good idea to prevent someone loosing a finger or two or getting pulled in.
Good suggestions!
I thought the same thing about the leveling. The level bulbs they use on a rv- camping trailer would work great.
Go high tech and install a hydralic self leveling system
I was going to say the same about the guards on the pulleys
Have you thought about cutting the handles off of your jacks and welding a nut on the shaft so that you can lower and raise fast with your cordless impact driver?
I had to laugh when I read your comment, I said the same thing without even looking at yours🤷🏼♂️😂
Beat me to it
That’s what I’d do.
Perfect idea!
Great job. Another great project Completed. Your family has so many talents. Really enjoyed watching it from start to finish.
Glad you enjoyed it David!
great to see that your guys are getting some moisture wish i could seen some your way we are getting a lot mostly in ice form. awesome to see the clean in action. great video and have a blessed day.
I think you guys are doing awesome on the build. I may be a day late and a dollar short, but an idea for the jacks to speed up raising and lowering could be to cut the handle and weld on a nut, then use a cordless drill to raise and lower. We do that on RVs.
That's so satisfying. Good work guys.
Looking great ! Maybe you can modify those jacks so that you can operate them with an impact =)
Hey Nick, at 72 I' m down to dumbbells only. Reps, Reps, Reps only, still can get a pretty good burn. Nothing heavy just trying to keep up a little strength. For years we hit the gym 4 times a week and ran miles. Very lucky I never had any serious injuries.
Great job with the pea cleaner. If that had been designed by an equipment manufacturer it would have taken at least a year of development to get it working. Yours was basically ready to go out of the box. Congrats
You should add a connection to your leveling jack for a drill or small impact for quick adjustments
Man hope you feel better soon , be sure and take it easy , great job on the project !
Thanks Garry, will do!
Should weld a nut in at the bend in the handle so you can put a drill and socket on there to lower those jacks quicker 😜 fantastic work as always gentlemen. Love the developments your quickly making on the farm it's interesting to keep up with!
Just an idea for the legs. Years ago there used to be a leg you could get that had an adjustable sleeve in it. Pull a pin, adjust it to the hight you need the you will only have to crank it up a little I stead of what ever length of time it's taking you now. Cut the feet of the legs and weld them to a smaller ID box tube that will slide inside the leg, drill and put in a pin. 20 min of fab work will save you time else where... keep up the work!!!🙏🙏
That cleaner works mint! Nice work welkers!
That really is a quite impressive machine y’all have put together.
Awesome creativity and design with your grain/seeder cleaner trailer. Have you thought of removing the handles on the 4 jacking legs and welding on a nut or bolt so you can use a drill or impact wrench to raise/lower the jacking legs? Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Indeed The moment of truth>>>and the Truth shall set you free✝✝
✝️
Congrats on a job well done guys. It's really neat to see it in action.
Loved those fab video. Very nice guys,was happy to see it work so well.😍
When painting,insted of Bison mfg put Welker mfg on that trailer.
Grain Cleaner is looking awesome. Different subject, try using windex on shop walls and ceiling. I work in a coal mine and you'd be surprised at what it takes off.
Weld a Bit that allows you attach the jacks to a Power Drill, Life Changer!.
Also Banging Job!
Also some rubber padding in places. Obviously The harder you go the long it will last....... :)
