    Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
    With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

    I remember helping my grandpa with a brush fire one time, and he lit it and then called the township to let them know we started it. The township rebuked him because it was a little windy, he replied with “well it’s started” and then hung up the phone. The ultimate lesson for me to ask for forgiveness not for permission.

Users of Def that I have heard talk are not so much against the added cost of adding Def, though that is a concern. The bigger issue is what it screws up on the equipment. Chris of LetsDig 18 has a pretty new dozer that started throwing codes went to limp mode because of a def issue. Did it a couple times It was about 15 K to get it fixed. I could be wrong on the figures but it was a real nightmare. Nope, no controversy there!

    As far as DEF goes, I can only comment on the trucking side as that’s all I’m familiar with. The DEF and SCR system in general isn’t really the issue. It’s the DPF and Regen system that causes the problems. DEF actually does create a much cleaner exhaust as the chemical reaction happens. The DPF system being an actual filter that gets clogged is the big problem and is apparently unneeded going off of tests from overseas. A few years ago there was even rumors of going to an SCR system alone and eliminating the DPF system.

      John Deere use the EGR+ DPF + SCR to reduce the DEF comsumption.

      I'm a test driver for a lift truck company. I completely agree about DPF and Regen. In my opinion it is ridiculous to have to park for 30 - 45 minutes while it cleans the system. I feel sorry for those who need to get things done, but can't. I guess I'm lucky that I'm only testing and not in any sort of production.
      Sidenote; I don't know about anyone else, but I can't even leave the truck unattended. As soon as I exit the truck, it shuts down and I have to start all over again. I learned that the hard way. 😋

    emissions is a bit of irritating thing for me, when it involves semi trucks. the KW t800 at my work was in the shop almost every two weeks for an emissions related issue. we had it deleted and we gained horsepower, reduced fuel consumption by about 20 gallons a day, and the truck hasn't been in the shop for anything more than brakes and tires for over a year now

    • @wishusknight3009

      I had some of the emissions junk deleted on my pickup too. Some of it is still in place though. (i couldn't tell you what parts) I dont care to "roll coal" or send billows of black into the sky. I keep my foot out of it, and it seems to burn pretty clean and meet T1 emissions.
      Hey, I love that there is concern and an effort to help the environment, but I wish there was a better way...

    • @mikes47jeep
      @mikes47jeep 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@wishusknight3009 I also think we should help the environment, what I have a hard time understanding is how burning 20 gallons a day more per truck is somehow better. means you have to pump more oil, refine more oil, transport more fuel
      they made somewhere in the neighborhood of 250,000 t800's and at 20 gallons a day fuel savings a day it 5,000,000 gallons A DAY now its just a rough figure but imagine if all the trucks in the US were that much more fuel efficient,
      wouldn't that make a bigger environmental impact than a little exhaust smoke?

    • @wishusknight3009
      @wishusknight3009 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@mikes47jeep Well, from what I understand, burning more fuel to ensure that all the fuel is burned is going to result in gas emissions that are less harmful and can be dealt with by other means. Trees can convert those gasses to oxygen easier IIRC. If that outweighs the refinement and transportation of the fuel then it may be worth it. Those 250000 trucks are a lot of extra smoke.
      I am no scientist and certainly don't know how to run the numbers or anything. And for sure there is some profit motive involved. I am just trying to make a credible counter argument. I agree with you there is some crap about the whole thing that i have a hard time adding up. Which is why I wished there was a better way.
      Some sort of cheap magic battery that held enough charge to power a transport truck across the country while only taking a few hours to charge with some solar panels... And would last for decades and could be disposed of with no environmental risk... One can only dream i guess.
