Between “stolen” cars next to a haunted abandoned farmhouse, slugged combine, dropping the pan while it’s windy with 100% humidity, Brody’s had a torturous few days.
I feel so sorry for Brody and the other guy big sweed ,having to work with Doug's son who acts like a young child
@edcrego8487 I’m sure it’s torture to work with your friends and family. Your comment is so far removed from reality it’s ridiculous.
@@redrose41000 exactly! I got my husband addicted to the family farmtubers. Larson’s is his fav. I’m a huge supporter of the generational family farms bc big corps, big govt, the CCP & Bill Gates are doing all they can to buy them out to cut the food supply. That’s why they regulate the hell out of them. Gates bought up 6000 acres in Ohio for a “solar farm”(panels made by the CCP) that’s 6000 less food production from a family owned farm. Larson’s gives me hope for the future of these farms!!
@@chrissyfrancis8952 - That makes me sick to my stomach to know how these multi billionaires are buying up the farmland!
@@redrose41000 me too. Gates, elites like him, WEF, WHO, all have said the planet’s “overpopulated”. So, they’re doing what they can to depopulate it. Viruses, Chen trails(Gates said it’s to “block out the sun”& slow “climate change”), garbage in our food supplies, meds & water. It’s no secret. 6000 acres of solar panels made by the CCP won’t be enough to even run a small town, but it definitely eliminates 6000 acres of food production. They want livestock killed off too, “for the planet”. They’re evil ppl.
Minnesota boy transplanted to south Texas. I was outside for a bit working on a deck and decided to call it when my boots started to get wet,not from rain either. Welcome to the joy of southern summer. It’s been this way since may and will be til October. Not fun. Love watching your videos and how you all work together to get er done.
The look of disappointment on Dougos face 😂😂😂
I live south of Des Moines about 45 min. I knew where that truck came from the second I saw the color scheme. Should be a good unit for you, they tend to take good care of their equipment!
Your drivers will like that bubble extended cab. Seats won’t rub the back of the cab!
As they say in the shop, connectors,connectors,connectors.
First, the biggest problems you will have with the autoshifts are the wiring. I would suggest you take it in the shop, get a big tube of dielectric grease, and start going through the wiring and checking each one, and put dielectric grease in when you put them back together.
Secondly, if it doesn’t have a battery disconnect already, put one in. When the transmission faults, most of the time it can be solved by shutting the power off and letting the “brain” reset.
Those automatics will usually shift up 2 gears at a time unless you have a big hill or something then it will be 1 at a time and some of them have a lever or button that u can manually shift them if you want. I drive one and haul 96000 pounds of grain and mine always shifts by 2 unless I start at a big hill. Hope this is helpful for you guys and keep up the great farming videos.
From 1 farmer to another have a safe and bountiful harvest.
Me personally like the flipper caps on the top of the stacks to keep the rain or snow out of the exhaust stacks ,nice new truck for the farm. Smiles 😃from 🇨🇦
Great recommendation, but LF is pretty good about keeping the trucks in some kind of storage during the winter - isn't there a drain for rain/moisture that would get into the exhaust?
You guys are always great to watch. Hope for a good and safe harvest this year. God bless you guys and all the farmers
Thanks, you give me so much pleasure with these video's. Wish you the best.
Always enjoyable thank you for all you guys do
Thanks!
God bless all farmers keep the faith!🙏🏻
Have a great harvest season and stay safe. A nice truck.
Guessing you got an old Simon's trucking truck! They keep their trucks pretty clean and they're based in Farley. Kinda neat I'm from the next town over and probably saw that truck a time or 2 before
I thought the Simon Team were a Peterbuilt fleet.
Nice looking semi Larson Farms
Awesome Video!!! Getting Dougo to talk to you in the field, while working, simply amazing! I know BS hates he is missing all the action(well probably not). I am certainly glad we get to come along and
see everything and give credit to Brody for shining those pipes! He’s the MAN!!!! I love to hear him say…I suppose!! Y’all are a hoot! 😂❤
I worked on the development of the Cummins ISX15. Pretty good engine. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge. Worst thing you can do to a ISX is get it hot.
Hang in there boys...it will be worth it in the end. Be safe. ♡
Good show
Chet Dougo Broodie that was great nice truck enjoyed it great explanations Chet thank you all.
Great video
Thanks for another great video.
Really like your new semi truck. Nice looking rig. You got it not far from me by Des Moines.
You will like the auto shift. Never drove one but have ridden in one and works really good. Looks to be well cared for. Am sure you will like it. Nice.
Glad you got combines going again. You all are doing good with the black beans. Hang in there.
Thanks for everything Chet.
The Iowa Farm Boy.
Yes humidity and temperatures are horrible in Florida from May through October! Thank God for a/c!
thanks i was waiting for this video
We had 6 Kenworth’s loved them,there the best 🙂
Enjoyed watching the video Chet 😊
Great show
I live on the gulf coast of Mississippi and it’s very humid and after 54 years of living here you kind of get used to the extreme heat but some days it’s just not worth going outside. I am lucky and work indoors by the air conditioning
Yes, it has been hot and very humid here in eastern North Carolina this summer. Bring on the cooler weather
Nice lil diecast collection in the cabinets.
We did the same thing. We bought a kenworth t 800 with a cummings and an Allison automatic, and we love it. Everyone wants to drive that truck.
New truck looks good! The delivery truck looks like a Tegeler truck. They have a lot of very nice semis, tow trucks and big wreckers! If the new one was from Farley, IA, that's only about 15 minutes from where I live! Hopefully it's a good truck for you!
Love a nice semi
Good stuff guys thats a pretty decent truck
I have a 2020 Freightliner with a automatic just love it
South Texas here been dealing with the heat and humidity since May looking like November might get a break if we're lucky course 3 years ago it was 95 on Christmas day just make sure you stay hydrated and keep fresh socks with you for when you're boots fill up with sweat
Great Video, thank You for Sharing. Battery operated Blower for cleaning up all the Dust and Debris really works Awesome my choice also !! H.
That’s a beautiful T800. I get the pleasure of working on those.
You guys need to do another equipment tour. Nice truck.
Hang in there Brody ! You'll survive the heat and Chet !~~
Farley, Ia. Just off Highway 20 in northeast Ia. Like your videos .
Always planning ahead, investing in the future. Impressive. 💪👍🏼
It is terrible here in NC Dougo it's humid from march to October. I moved here from Boston 8 years ago and I'm still not used to it. But i will say that I don't miss the huge amount of snow we got up in New England. Always enjoy the content and find farming very interesting 👊☘️
Nice truck! Tri-axle!
After forty years driving my company bought auto shift trucks. I didn't think I would like them but after driving one I actually don't mind it at all, They have some minor quirks but overall not bad. Where I find they shine is stop and go traffic and in big cities where it's usually a pain anyway. I think you'll get used to it pretty quick. The auto shift if I'm not mistaken has an electronically controlled clutch the transmission senses the load and grade and is supposed pick the best gear to start out and shift the most efficiently . As to the ISX 15 we also have them plenty of power also can be turned up if needed . I'll be interested how it works out for your operation Good Luck!
Good Show Boys 👍🏼
Yes Chet an Dougo we have had alot of heat an humidity here in South Carolina to
Hello from Shetland
Nice new truck 👍
Spring tx just north of Houston we have had no rain and over 100 degrees for over 45 days. Enjoy your weather you could be here with us
I do believe you will b happy with the. Kenworth nice truck
cheers from South TX
That was a productive day.
nice video guys.
Great video Chet Dougo BigSwede and Brody
I'm a owner operator, with the same setup as you guys just got, I haul wood with it 90,000lbs, a load and I love the automatic Eaton. The only thing is it's expensive to work on, don't over grease the release bearing, we bought ours used also and previous owners had abused it and never greased it causing failure, clutch job is a bit pricey. Great videos I'll keep watching 👍
Love your vedios very interesting plus comical as well
I was driving trucks for 20 years before I started to drive my first automatic unit. Was unsure about it but it makes it easier and less stressful. My left knee was starting to bother me from all the shifting but now it doesn't bother me as much. Takes a bit to get used to.
Love the Big Ass Fan in the shop! They work amazing for moving air in big spaces to keep you cool
It's not the heat here in Fl., it's the humility!
we have same ISX in are KW'S amazing motors!
Been grinding gears for 30 years. Never thought I would say it, but we bought an automatic. 12 speed with creeper gear and two reverse gears. you can manually shift it yourself and hold it in any gear You want similar to a stick. No complaints yet.
Just got back from riding the Harley in Tennessee today, the weather was awesome. Good to be back in Minnesota though.
Hope you have better luck than with the isx than everyone else has they like to drop liners and pressure up the coolant system 13 to 16 were the worst years in my experience with them but the new x 15 Cummins is doing amazing so far 1 million miles and counting with no major problems the only thing I’ve had to do was dpf filter cleaning and new def filters
New truck looks nice. Even if you go look at something before you go buy it, there's still going to be stuff it needs you don't see
Humidity here in west Tennessee will be 98% tomorrow it been hot with Temps over a hundred daily, waiting on a cold front to move through. Like the new truck.
You will like the Auto Shift the more you drive it. The engine and transmission sense the load on it and will shift accordingly. Keep the air system dry. Watch the engine oil pressure for any sudden drop in oil pressure, should be 30-40 psi under normal conditions, running it under 15 will cause bearing failure.
Nice new to you semi
Greetings from north Mississippi!
Just checking in from Tennessee, not always 100% humidity, but mid 80s for the high isn't horrible.
Those off cuts from the stacks look to be perfect exhaust tips for the Buick
Spent Summers of my youth stuking bales on a bale barge behind the baler.
Wearing jeans where
the thigh area was patched on top of patches on top of patches as bales wore them out quickly.
Stuked off the baler, stacked on a hay wagon moved to stack yard and then unload wagon to build a nice large stack, or put on a bale elevator to load and stack in 2ndbstory loft in the barn enormous amount of work handling each bale 4 or 5 times before finally having them all in a nice tight stack for winter use.
You would think after all this we would not want to touch the bales again, but no, every farm Kid has memories of tearing into the stacks to build magnificent bale forts and the epic wars we had In them.
Things were better then we had real fun, not plugged into a screen being electronically stimulared and manipulated into thinking you are having fun.
At least you finally got a good truck KW for the win
The truck has a clutch, but no clutch pedal. The Eaton fuller autos have a clutch with electronic clutch actuator fork on it. And it has an electronic X & Y shifters in top of the transmission to shift the gears automatically. So it shifts gears like a manual does, but it does it automatically with a TCM, (transmission control module) instead of using your foot. Lol it does not have a torque converter and flex plate like a true automatic transmission. Just make sure if you ever change a clutch in an automatic transmission, to take the 4 holding bolts out after you install it in the truck. You will only do that one time before you learn. Lol took me a whole shift to figure out why the new clutch would never calibrate and work. Lol it was the first auto clutch I ever did and my Forman asked me if I took them out after I installed them. I said what bolts?! Hahaha but that's what makes you a good mechanic when you can humble yourself and learn something new. Been doing diesel mechanics for 16 years and I learn new stuff everyday and I love sharing my knowledge with others!! Nice looking truck!! Hope harvest is going great for yall!! God bless yall
i got one and i like it
Looks like a nice purchase although you are going to miss the manual transmission as you will find out. The automatics are a good pavement trans but not so friendly off the road, best thing to do while off pavement especially with a load is to manually shift the transmission to override the computer when it thinks it needs to shift and send you into a higher gear and no power, plus it is quite jerky. It takes some getting used to.
That's what we've been dealing with in Mississippi. You get out of the shower and feel like you need a shower. I'm so looking forward to our winter months.
Brody without a hat again! Superman without his cape!
It has an internal clutch, yes. It's an auto-shift 'standard' transmission. Read the manual regarding the transmission operation modes. ( manual or auto shift )
Make sure that trans is tuned for better shifting. We have a 2012 T800 with that auto. Ours short shifts for economy.
We bought our First Allison 6 Speed Automatic in a Dump Truck, we bought it outside of Finley, Ohio from a Mennonite Man so The Truck is very nice and Tight. 145,000 miles but it’s like Brand New. I drove it back Personally From Down there, that thing would haul the Mail, We have Two With Cat Motors so this is our First Mercedes Engine.
Magnifique camion et bien préparé et les moissonneuse batteuse 790i et les coupes sont bien équipés 😮😅😊😂
It has a clutch, just not a clutch pedal. Its operated by air by an actuator on the trans. Its an automated transmission. Basically a manual by the computer uses air to shift and clutch.
I've run Cummings engines in Kenworth's before and it was a good motor.
Im in South Louisiana its been over 100 degrees actual temperature since mid July, needless to say August was almost unbearable and we have had very limited rainfall, farms that normally yield 50/60 bushel soybeans are down in the mid 20s to low 30s very disappointing, corn yields were all over the board anywhere from 60 to 180 depending on the farm and location with aflatoxin being a major issue in most loads!!
Nice Truck Larson Farms!!
I’m in south Louisiana my self it had been brutal on the ag industry I pass a field that was all corn it is now gone it was bush hogged it tasseled but never made any corn, also there is a Christmas tree farm just north of me they have said there trees have died.
People tend to set the steering like that because it's more comfortable when driving to hold it
Duggo - “ this is the very rough beginning, which will not be the ending” 😂😂😂😂 I’m gonna steal that one!!
As soon as you learn what the auto shift is going to do in different situation for what you guys do I think your going to like it.
Good luck with it in the winter. I drove a truck had the same motor. If it got below 30 might as well get the jumper cables can of either. Very hard starting in the cold. I heard if you take emissions off of them. They are much better. Nice truck though. You’ll like automatic once you get used to it. No 18spd! But they are not if your starting and stopping all the time.
I dont see how the emissions stuff would affect starting...all of that stuff happens after the exhaust manifold
@@dirtdevil70 Exactly emissions have no effect on starting in cold temps. Plus all diesel engines at very cold temps don't like to start
Nice truck, transmission is referred to as an Automated Manual , the shifting and clutch are controlled by computer. A full automatic (Allison) is a Hydraulic transmission with a torque converter (just like your car)
It still has a clutch. It's a manual transmission that is shifted automatically. There's a motor on top of the trans that moves the shift forks and one on the bottom that moves the shift forks. Still good transmissions. Just make sure you put it in neutral before you set the park brake or it will get stuck in gear and you gotta unhook the batteries.
Brody is a good sport!
Poor guy has to be to work with that young Larson boy!,,,,,,,
And a day cab!
I was a diesel technician at a KW dealer when they came out with automated trans and 2 pedal system, I would been trying to push down on the clutch pedal. Takes a little getting used to.....
I love the oooooooing and awewwwwing and then, Well, there’s ours! Lol
Hey chet! Dont forget water to clean the combine window.
6:34. Brody can’t see over the steering wheel.😂
Next to a Cat engine your best choice for me would be a Cummins, I've driven all types of transmissions from super eight to fifteen speeds and for me I prefer to pull a Great Dane...congrats on the next tractor...
My husband’s name is Doug! I have started calling him Dougo. He wants to know where Doug gets his plain shirts. He likes them. Have a blessed day!
