Your father's the best! Such a good man! Spend as much time as you can with him. My father has passed and I wish we had more time together. God bless from Toronto Canada.
Hey all the Welker Farms fans.. please send prayers for the ColetheCornstar family. DC is in the hospital with pneumonia and c-19. Hneiva's aunt is also in the hospital. Both Momma Cornstar & Hneiva are sick at home. Cole didn't say what the they had, only what DC was sick with but just asked for prayers.
Scott you are just the jack of all trades...from welding to engine repair to farming... you got it all covered. What a blessing to know how much you are needed. Another great video and yes the sunset is absolutely beautiful in big sky country.
I remember cutting hay years ago on the family dairy farm an getting a slug of alfalfa stuck in the haybine.. stop raise the head back up shut everything down, climb down an pull the stuff out as much as I can. Good times 👍🏾😁
I wanna thank you guys. For giving me a perspective of farming, that i never saw from my grandfather. And he farmed roughly 50 miles south of you guys. So similar challenges year to year. Again. Thank you.
Scott! The original splice was plenty stout. The rectangle plates only created a larger HAZ and can make it overly stiff. It's a fine line but over welding can be as bad as under welding! Please don't take offense I'm only offering advice from one welder to another! Been watching you guys since 1000 subs!
Man I just luv welding thing at my current job at a hog plant I take pride in that. I can see that leg arms does the same thing. Takes pride in his welding as well. Good luck with the harvest of crops god bless and stay safe
I can't be there only 90 miles but I will be on look out. From Peoria,il. Thanks for bringing the farm to people that could not do anything more than start it. But I could drive the truck that get combine home.
These are the guys Bradley & Patton wanted on their team in WWII. Used to drag shot up tanks behind them to use for parts on some that were fixable. My uncle was one of them.
💪👍👌 BEAUTIFUL PARTING SHOT ,Always very interesting your, and even a little engineering input on the frame repair, never worry about that section again! 😍😍😍😍😍🙏
Scott, quick tip for you mate... When you plate over a repair like that cut the ends of the plate at an angle, it should resemble a squashed rectangle. Welding in a straight line across the section you create a heat affected zone that will weaken the steel at that point. If you weld at an angle instead the steel is stronger as the HAZ still follows the weld but doesn't go across the full width of the section at any single point. Also, your plug welds would have been better off cut as a slot a couple of inches long and 1/4" wide down the centre of the tube, before putting the extra piece down. That all said, that thing is now so overbuilt I very much doubt it will break again.
Great Falls is one of my family’s favorite places. We could live in the Russell Museum. Between that and reliving the Ambrose book about Lewis & Clark up the Missouri. Montana and I have a great relationship. If I could find the right place, I’d love to drag my beloved to that place. We like places like Libby. I had a tremendous aunt who lived up in the trees above town. Idyllic to a 13 y/o boy.
Leg Arms did a great job on the repair. Glad to see some better per acre on some of the wheat. Take care - hope the family and you are doing well. Spin
Good to be at the harvest too bad crops not the best, but end of the day beautiful sunset. Congrats Nick on the newborn, one of the future welker farmers.
Another awesome video keep the great content coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Love the ear to ear smiles when things get fixed and when crops are better the what you been harvesting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻God Bless And Stay Safe
good repair , next time small pointers cut your plug weld holes out 1st , slide the slip sleeve in , make sure your gap on outter tubes allow stacks of stringer welds . weld should build from slip up 1 root 2nd pass 2 stringers then cap weld. always push the weld never drag it. good work guys god bless
Have you guys tried planting the fallowed fields with White/forage radishes? I hear they are gaining popularity as a crop to plant for breaking up soil as well as adding nutrients back into the fields
I'm not a farmer and I live in the UK, but have been watching your channel for awhile now, I find it just so interesting, and the amazing views that go right to the horizon are fantastic, God bless you all.👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@WelkerFarms I ran an irrigation pump on my John Deere and after an hour you could smell the heat, it hated it, the Case was okay but the Fiat ran all day and hardly got warm. Running Valtra now, great tractors.
I just congratulated someone else on you hitting 500,00 subscribers oh I've been watching Kate's Ag and she's is so inspiring as a young and up coming woman and farmer.
Glad to see you are getting a decent return on some of the spring wheat after so much work and investment. Tough for dryland grain farmers. Going to be interesting to see the long term summer hail storm pattern, high summer wind storms and winter rain patterns for decades ahead. May change the grain production areas of the US and world. Ukraine and Russia are already heavily impacted. ??No herbicide sprays or chemicals that completely kill kochia and Russian thistle seeds. May have to come up with a strong chemical acid or alkaline that cuts the seed covering and a fallow program?? Perhaps a no till program with seeds left on top of soil for maximum chemical burn or burn the fields off in late fall after harvest. What about fences to prevent the kochia plants from being carried by the winds to adjoining fields or splitting fields every 1000 feet with kochia fencing blocking the prevailing wind plant carry movement? Test some chelating iron spray FeHEDTA on your problem areas. Works great here on Canadian Thistle, goes after the spreader roots even and kills the seeding tops. Nice strong equipment welding repair. Yes on the painting on weld repairs. Metal is penetrated and micro holed bubbled leaving micro entrances for water and chemicals to set and rust to start. Welds rust much faster than smooth manufactured formed metals. I like several coats of anticorrosion spray paint.
Oh yes, the manual rotor reverser! About 4 feet long with a crude hex box wrench on one end and a 6 point socket on the other end for the manual feeder house reverser, and all of it miserable on the hands. Been there done that with our 1440 and 1460. Good times. LOL Keep up the good work fellas, I enjoy it all!
Back in my day we used to go to the field with a galvanized buck, collect seed, go back to the farm, open a cold bottle of water and pour the grain in the electronic tester. Man did we have it tough. 😂 I bet Leg Arms majored in awesome at school.
Hurricane ida has knocked out power from over 200,000 homes, and it's gonna be bad. Interesting that it hits on katrina anniversary. These people need prayer. Glad you got some good wheat guy's. God bless.
Hey guys, hope & pray everythings going Great for the Fall Harvest. I know you all had hail damage, and hopefully next year, you all will have a complete harvest. Love to see the daily work, especially Fall Harvest. I'm originally from MN, and now live in the South. My PTSD gets to me sometimesike today. So i got in my X6 BMW, and drove. They started cutting corn about 4 days ago around here, so i stopped by a field they were harvesting on. And im sure they thought whats this guy selling, or want from us. When i explained, why i get in and drive, they understand. It takes my mind off, horrific scenes we see. Everyone asks the same thing, did I serve? Not in the military, in the states. When you work Paramedic Rescue, nobody understands, PTSD isn't just in war. It can be a 1 time thing, or it can be years of service, takig care of sh_t nobody ever sees. Law Enforcement gets it, Fire gets it, but not as much as Law Enforcement and EMS do. We see the same stuff they see overseas. We pick up pieces of people, just like they do in the military. But we see it in the USA, I've seen some of the Bravest in Fire Department's, throw up, or cry like babies. Why, because stuff we see, is horrific in Nature. Once you see this stuff, it never leaves you. So, I guess I stop and talk to farmers, is because it brings me back to my younger days. In the Fall, the field work, the smell of the dirt thats being turned. Even the diesel fuel smell, it's much better than bodies in a house, or car! Thank you all, for letting us see your daily life, the farm, even the Best Baby sitter in the world (the combine, LOL!), I get that, the vibration, and spending time with dad, which was awesome to see. I guess its the little things we do, to make it better for our kids! Even for me, it may of been 30 minutes of talking, but its a lifetime for people with PTSD. I guess it takes our mind off the FUBAR stuff. So thank you all, yes, the whole family. Thank you all, God Blesss and keep up the video's. Rick EMTP
I think an engine driven welder would look great on the back of your service truck, and some stick electrodes with that would eliminate the porosity issues association with mig welding outside in a breeze. Then you would also have a welding and AC power source in the field if you ever needed it when you couldnt get back to the shop.
For some reason I always though you-all were further east. I grew up in Ronan; 3.5 hours SW of ya'all. Almost in the neighborhood by Montana standards.
Yes if you can see wheat on the ground that easy is a lot going out the back , that's money gone . But with more rain on the way , it's a shake of the 🎲
Brought back a few memories of running an 8240 on harvest over there a few years ago header and rotor reverse are pretty nice features on them. Case at the time had an acceptable loss of 6 kearnel’s sq/ft at that time
My dad was a welder and he always made his scab plates make a triangle and he said that would would relieve the stress so would not crack like on a square weld not telling you business but that's how he patch frames on trucks and stuff like that and I never saw the frame retract wherever he put a plate love your videos have a great day and be safe
OH!! Also Congrats on hitting 500K !!! Iam so happy to see the "odometer" has rolled over the mark! I feel like it should have happened awhile ago, there was a sub stall or something, but never the less happy for ya'll! Here is to the next 500k!
What about weed termination with crimper-roller? Like they do in no-till cover crop. Should be cheaper than chemicals and as effective. Maybe mix roller+one dose of chemical? Maybe allow weed to grow and then roll them late allowing kind of "green manure"?
Hindsight being 20/20 and all that but it would have been a better idea to cut the plug weld holes before you put the smaller square tube in but your a way more experienced fabricator that I am. Love the channel and I hope next year is better for you guys than this. Much love from the UK
Nick I am looking forward to see how well my 8250 adjusts on the go adapting to the grain conditions with corn and soybeans this year. If the moisture is 21% and the combine does what Case IH said it will do I won't have near the grain damage that I have had in the past and and it will adjust to the conditions on the go and the same with soybeans. I don't run much corn at 21% there is always spots in the field that are much higher.
Thanks for another great video. The video was interesting and enjoyable. Glad to see the roller machine (do not know correct name) is fixed and ready to use again. Good job Scott, you did great on getting that field ready again. All of you are so talented at fixing things. Just great. Glad to see you are back harvesting wheat. Always good to be in the field especially harvest. By what you are saying Nick your wheat production is not bad considering the weather you had and all that. Lots of konala growing, so can see how frustrating that is for you and the combine to process. Bob, appreciate your outlook on current farm situation and weather affects on the crops. You find the best in all situations and I applaud you for that. I see my buddy Colby riding with you. Know he helps a lot as you operate the combine-ha. Give him a pat on the head for me please. Once again, Bob thanks for your outlook thoughts. Nick, thanks for explaining more about the combine operation inside. Changing out the screens to prevent loss of wheat in the field and items such as that. Always interesting. Moisture testing with your electronic gadget is slick. Important step before storage. We always had the elevator do it before those testers came out. Nice you have a separate bin to store the current wheat you are harvesting. Neat idea. The wheat color looks good. About it for now. Looking forward to the next video. You all take care and be safe. May god bless and watch over all of you. Thanks. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
"....chem fallow makes a lot of weeds. It's tough to kill weeds these days. Weeds are gettin' resistant to chemicals." Well then, there's cultivation...careful timing being critical to success, but how to accomplish that on large acreage, not to mention that fuel and tractor time are both expensive. I appreciate the "fix" the commodities farmer finds himself in these days. (I also appreciate your honest assessment of the situation...) Maybe have a long, hard "look" at a dual-purpose cover crop....I can "vouch" for brown-top millet bein' a "3-day miracle" (that and/or the first rain that comes along...) plus all the sorghum-grass crosses available nowadays (which livestock will eat, tho it's better incorporated into the soil sometimes) Soil organic-content matter is the name of the game, and no, you don't hafta go "full Orgo" to reap the benefits of higher percentages. Always enjoy your "content!" Keep 'em comming!
When welding patch plates I’ve been told to not weld the ends and it A) allows some flex, and b) the weld hear creates a weak spot for new cracks to start
Man! You are living the life, it may be hard work but you do get to play hard when the work is done. Can't do that where I live, you go to jail for playing to hard here
Good repair. Just consider when making repairs where the stress is. An extra reinforcing piece helps in ltmate strength for sure. However it can cause failures later because of the abrupt transition. So that said, a gradual change in section of doubling plates is desirable. Still gives strength but allows subtle change in flexibility. The weld runout is also a major factor. Not welding across a member allows the grain flow to stretch consistently. Good job never the less.
hi i’m a 15 year old kid and has begun welding i watch your videos on youtube and you and your brother and father are such great engineers and your welding is amazing! How do u get it so good do u think u could please give me some advice or tips on welding. cheers!
I have a question, to marry those together, after the weld, why not use a couple of long bolts? In addition to the welded joint. Just curious, honestly not trying to be a jerk.
So who would be interested in online poultry ???since you’re quite the agricultural lover yourself , it’s basically having your own poultry online , I’ll give you the site you register ( depending on the package you choose) you’ll get your birds they’ll handle the rearing and distribution and you’ll be making 5% of your profit daily !

Here in scotland I’ve worked it out we are doing 150 bushel an acre. It’s just crazy how thin your crops are even in the good stuff
Have you guys tried planting the fallowed fields with White/forage radishes? I hear they are gaining popularity as a crop to plant for breaking up soil as well as adding nutrients back into the fields
But you still have to have enough moisture

It's smart to harvest the undamaged field last. Then your last memories of this year will be of good yields instead of the crap you had earlier.
Smart man! Truth!

My Grandparents owned a large wheat Farm somewhere close to you. They are the Davidson's. I think my Aunt's lease out the land now.
Safe travels for Bob and Scott to Illinois. Best wishes to Nick and wife on arrival of a new baby.
Glad to see you are getting a decent return on some of the spring wheat after so much work and investment. Tough for dryland grain farmers.
Going to be interesting to see the long term summer hail storm pattern, high summer wind storms and winter rain patterns for decades ahead. May change the grain production areas of the US and world. Ukraine and Russia are already heavily impacted.
??No herbicide sprays or chemicals that completely kill kochia and Russian thistle seeds. May have to come up with a strong chemical acid or alkaline that cuts the seed covering and a fallow program?? Perhaps a no till program with seeds left on top of soil for maximum chemical burn or burn the fields off in late fall after harvest.

Test some chelating iron spray FeHEDTA on your problem areas. Works great here on Canadian Thistle, goes after the spreader roots even and kills the seeding tops.

Scott seems like a pretty handy guy to have on the farm, I’m glad you didn’t fire him! It’s nice to see him back to fixing things!
Takes me back to my days of pulling the Flexi coil. Welded up so often it stayed new
😁👍
so glad you got into better wheat been praying for all you deserve nothing but the best will continue to pray
Scott looking good!! It is called plug welding when you cut/drill a hole to weld it in place. It does help!!
so happy that you got a great harvest!
Brought back a few memories of running an 8240 on harvest over there a few years ago header and rotor reverse are pretty nice features on them. Case at the time had an acceptable loss of 6 kearnel’s sq/ft at that time
We had a record wheat crop in south western Ontario. Been struggling with low falling number unfortunately.
When fishplating always cut or grind the corners off. Corners are your enemy in welding.

Well then, there's cultivation...careful timing being critical to success, but how to accomplish that on large acreage, not to mention that fuel and tractor time are both expensive. I appreciate the "fix" the commodities farmer finds himself in these days. (I also appreciate your honest assessment of the situation...) Maybe have a long, hard "look" at a dual-purpose cover crop....I can "vouch" for brown-top millet bein' a "3-day miracle" (that and/or the first rain that comes along...) plus all the sorghum-grass crosses available nowadays (which livestock will eat, tho it's better incorporated into the soil sometimes)
Soil organic-content matter is the name of the game, and no, you don't hafta go "full Orgo" to reap the benefits of higher percentages. Always enjoy your "content!" Keep 'em comming!
We don't want to go back to iron in soil. It was ruining the ground. This year was not the norm and became a weeds dream.
Nice job on the welding and reinforcing the beam!
Great to hear some good news from the State of Montana.
Gosh that service truck is the handiest thing!
It was one of leg arms best decisions to put that truck together!
When welding patch plates I’ve been told to not weld the ends and it A) allows some flex, and b) the weld hear creates a weak spot for new cracks to start
wow!
I figured you would need to work around closing off the concave if you got into a good part of the Crop. Good work Brother 😎❤️🇺🇸
Need to see more Coby and the pups, who's with me ?
That is a handy service truck.
Man! You are living the life, it may be hard work but you do get to play hard when the work is done. Can't do that where I live, you go to jail for playing to hard here
Good repair. Just consider when making repairs where the stress is. An extra reinforcing piece helps in ltmate strength for sure. However it can cause failures later because of the abrupt transition. So that said, a gradual change in section of doubling plates is desirable. Still gives strength but allows subtle change in flexibility. The weld runout is also a major factor. Not welding across a member allows the grain flow to stretch consistently. Good job never the less.
Another good one y’all!👍🙏
You are doing way better than Sask Canada it was so dry the crops died in the fields
hi i’m a 15 year old kid and has begun welding i watch your videos on youtube and you and your brother and father are such great engineers and your welding is amazing! How do u get it so good do u think u could please give me some advice or tips on welding. cheers!
Don't be afraid to try and practice.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob thanks for the advice :)
Nice sunrise
Ya got to leave something behind for the wildlife too. There’s no way to catch it all but it would be great if we could.
Good to see ya finnaly in some good crop
After listening to your weld's sound a little cool . Field in Michigan
8:53 Better safe than sorry... 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
It was probably better to have Leg Arms repair the coil packer. Boy did he do a GREAT job !~!
Great harvest video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a question, to marry those together, after the weld, why not use a couple of long bolts? In addition to the welded joint. Just curious, honestly not trying to be a jerk.
You would need to still need to support the bolt holes
So who would be interested in online poultry ???since you’re quite the agricultural lover yourself , it’s basically having your own poultry online , I’ll give you the site you register ( depending on the package you choose) you’ll get your birds they’ll handle the rearing and distribution and you’ll be making 5% of your profit daily !
Hey Nick how’s Wiggles doing?? God bless y’all keep up the good work!
Hello, great movies, it is very fun to watch, let's keep it up, and more such movies, greetings from Poland
Good news. I was starting to hoard bread and oatmeal.. glad both crops are doing better.
😁
