11:30 I can hear Western Truck and Tractor Repair scream all the way from Cali.
Yep, that's all I thought of when he said about a remanned engine... if they do go that route my guess is John Deere might hand-pick an engine to leave a good impression.
I was going to say the same thing. He never made it home from the test drive. What a shame.
Talking-about-a-reman-failure
Proud of you putting ancestors hammer back where you found it, never know when needed again.
As a contractor in the UK I used to carry an obscene amount of tools with me in a toolbox in the cab and the John Deere toolbox on the tractor was full of bolts, nuts, circlips, linchpins, split pins, washers, chain links etc. Etc. Being far from home at times it really helped me finish a job and or get me home!
Did you listen to the video? He is in the loaner - no tools.
@@paulcopeland9035 did you listen? He asked if any of us (viewers) leave an unnecessary amount of tools riding around in the floor board of the tractor because as soon as you take them out you'll need them. @7:43
I had a family member who was an engineer for Boeing. When he was at Boeing he interviewed an engineer that previously worked for John Deere. Long story shorter assembly workers were given two tools a hammer and a file.
Guy I worked for had a 8230 that was our planting tractor. That spring he sent it to the local JD dealer to have the block gaskets replaced. While they had it apart he told the to go ahead and replace the rods and mains. They did the job and we got it back. For 2 weeks it wasn't pushed hard, just moving equipment around the yard. After running it for about an hour or two pulling a ejector bucket the oil pressure dropped. When we pulled the oil filter, it was completely stopped up by metal flakes. To shorten the story, they had to put a brand new engine in the tractor because they couldn't find a reman for it. Bad thing is the tractor only had about 2500 hours on it at the time.
Thank you becky for editing these videos
Yes, lately she's gotten so much better at it 😉😉🤭
i wonder what end up happened with aurora (niece ) i wish if she went to college to not end up just another drone .....
My grandfather had a problem with his dogs wandering off on his farm so he installed 6 large outdoor speakers on the HAM tower facing in different directions. It worked very well to recall the dogs and less observant grandchildren. If he were alive today to see how far Deere has slid he would probably have recommended Fendt.
I really appreciate you wearing a Kip Siegler Farming t-shirt, Farming, Freedom, Family. You are a good dude Zach.
As is Kip!
Link to shirt?
Kip Sigler Farming is Awesome.
Just did an inventory on the tractor floor, flags (mark big rocks, big pipe (knock rocks out of discs and baskets), replacement shovels and bolts, impact, 3 or 4 sockets for impact, pipe wrench (general all around tool), 24" crescent wrench (for use as hammer, etc.), pliers, duct tape, zip ties, roll of hand towels, lunch pail, pile of plastic garbage/pop cans/liquor bottles, etc picked up in the field today. Ya, it does fill up.
It doesn’t matter the paint color. Local dealer support is a key factor.
Zach, quite simply it's your dealer looking after their customers while you have a tractor down 👍
I think it also a good dealer decision,, semi free advertising on a low hour tractor,, if you have a bird in the hand beats two in the bush,. And with that loaner he found two blades in the dirt, not cutting or inbedded in tire or tracks,,
We just gotta appreciate all of the jumps and hoops Zach has to go through to bring us these awsome videos! I might be young, but I wanna be a farmer now after watching all of these videos. Thank you and God bless
Same but I would still have to wait like 18 years so I’ll be 27 at the time I think lol but rn I’m too young
I grew up on grandpa's farm before the farmhouse burned down, been itching to get back to those roots for 20 years now
@Jarrett Fullerton if you or anyone starts let me give you advise start small. Don't go big I have seen a lot of farmers go bankrupt going big start small it is the best you don't need big equipment to farm. Or new.
I loved your closing line!!!!! As a fellow countryside dweller (down in southwestern Missouri) I agree with you 120%! There isn't enough money in the whole world for someone to pay me to live in any sized city. Decisions, decisions, decisions, always there're some tough decisions to be made. Whether to pay for a reman engine plus labor to put it in, or invest that money plus a big chunk more to trade for a tractor that's newer and has fewer hours. Good luck!! I know you and your dad will decide wisely.
sadly there wasn't enough money in my bank account to afford me country living.
Yeah, having grown up in rural Minnesota and now stuck in the Indianapolis suburbs, that closing line hit home.
Western Truck & Tractor Repair on TH-cam had a John Deere remaned engine from a 9620T blow up on the test drive right after install. I don’t know if it’s an isolated issue or not, but probably worth a look if you’re considering getting your tractor remaned.
It makes a guy wonder why a newer model would have an outsourced engine instead of a Deere built engine.
@@FoolOfATuque the biggest ones in the range for the 9 series John Deere s seem to have the Cummins engine like how the John Deere 9640rx has a Cummins but the smaller ones are all John Deere up to the 6590r,Rx and possibly RT although those are the newest ones so the slightly older models may be a bit different.
I think that was the second reman, and they had nothing but trouble from the first.
I believe i am remembering correctly. The owner bought it because it had a fresh engine with some warrantee remaining.
@@beaviccoon470 I guess it could be the 9570 frame is different from the 9560 and it’s the first size tractor to have that engine. This is the case with one of our tractors. We have an 85 HP and it’s the lowest horse tractor to offer the 4 cylinder Deere diesel. I don’t know enough about them to be sure though since we use small tractors in comparison.
@@FoolOfATuque that's pretty typical in heavy equipment.
Thank you for your service. Seriously. And the deadpan humor is great too
Your ancestors hammer was quite funny, thanks for that.
Your tractor dilemma is not a cheap or easy decision. Best of luck with it.
I’m just glad I’m not the only grown man watching other men farm. Feeling like I can go drink a beer with most of them, then remembering they don’t know me from Adam and Eve. So I’ll just keep drinking my beer and watching you guys work. YYYYYYYUP!!!!!!
Cheers 🍻
My wife says, you farm all day, why would you want to watch other farmers? When it's all you do is farm, it's just farm 24/7 no matter who's doing it
Same here. My kids think I’m nuts. I work in the OR all day and watch farming vids at night.
I work at a rock quarry and just have a love for equipment but farming has it all the fun big boy toys in my opinion
@@MillennialFarmer my dad wanted to know why you go around in circles
Excellent though at the end "and to think some humans lived in city's "
Western truck & tractor something like that. Just changed a motor out in one of those. Factory engine it ran for not even 2 hrs n failed on camera. He updated the series n bent 2 valves and discovered snapped the cam. It was a 12 liter
Hi Zach.The UK here Thank you and the farmers of the world for your work and dedication.👍
Yeah , they do a lot of hard work but sadly the government has made farmers lives miserable due to the pandemic because they were forced to destroy a lot of crops and dump loads upon loads of milk down the drain all of which they could have not only made money from but also provide people with food and dairy products.
If you enjoy farming videos I Invite you to check out our family friendly farming youtube channel County Line Cowpokes th-cam.com/video/KLKvNubyDO0/w-d-xo.html. Our farm can't compete with MF's amazing equipment so our videos include humor that the entire family will enjoy along with beautiful farm scenery including drone footage, and some agriculture education.
Astonishing how calm you are with all these expensive problems popping up one after the other. I get stressed when the engine light comes on just as power bill is due!!!
Fendt/Challenger has up to a 673 hp Two Track now if you wanted more power but still liked the 2 track style vs the articulated style. The Fendt is still green and just say the Challenger has the Industrial John Deere paint
We run a vt 2633, a sledge hammer and long bar was purchased after the first day running it, stopped 25 times on a half section that had those sized rocks and small tree branch’s from a torn down shelter belt get stuck it the basket, not enough space between the bars and support brackets.
Watching while planting peanuts in Florida
I have wached many of his Videos while digging
Love the peanut videos.
Lol! Watching your videos too from Albany, GA.
BRB heading over to watch how a peanut farm works
Is Jimmy visiting from Georgia?
If it was me. Keep the drill tractor, for drilling and chaser bin. Sell all the others, wheeled Artic, broken one, 6170 and the wheeled 8000. Buy one big tracked machine for cultivation, double shift it when busy and something like a Fendt 724 with a loader for rock picking, rolling, snow blowing etc.
Kudos to your dealer for helping you out!!
Zach you put 9 inch sweeps on you field cultivator, you will move more dirt, and get a finer seed bed, get a better kill on emerged weeds, and the 9 inch sweeps will wear into 7 inch sweeps. If you can get hard surfaced ones put them in the wheel tracks
Always hate to hear of big breakdowns. Good luck on the 9560.
used to have tols in the cab now have a 5ft by 3 ft box on the front linkage sure helps when your alone and 30 miles from home.
Hang in there Zach, if farming was easy we would all be at it.
Agreed
Ain't that the truth!
Holy fuck i think you just solves world hunger lol
Man I wish you luck with that Engine problem. A decision like that can really take the wind out of your sails. You'll be fine though it seems like you guys got your head on straight. Stay safe.
But was the head on straight on the tractor?
@@clearingbaffles 😏😏😏 I see what you did there... but in the same breath maybe alittle too soon.
@@kyleteal5888 every since the actor portraying millennial pharmer had problems with an oil philter he is/was fair game That’s what she said 😉😷🙀😳 O🦌🖖🏼 Nice Color cyan
Well that sucks about the engine. But it seems like planting has been going quickly this season.
As much as I would love to see a red Quad track on your farm your Deere dealer seams to be pretty amazing
I can’t say that I’m a big fan of John Deere but I really like the sound of the planting tractor that you run
Always something to like about a Deere
@@smallengines1018 I run a JD 5525 most days out of the week and I still can't get over how good that engine and turbo sound together
Thanks for the video Zach. Appreciate your time in doing the video so we can follow along. Sorry to hear about your tractor and the engine being down. Always hard to have a main tractor down when you are busy. I agree with you , you and dad have some
Thoughts to think over as what to do about tractor. If it was me I would do some more looking around at other units before making that ultimate decision. On the other hand your local dealer is really working hard to keep your business and that counts also when you look at how he will cover you and all your equipment service wise. Is important factor. Know these new tractors are not cheap. The one you are trying out has 500 hours and that is pretty good now days. You mentioned you thought it had been taken good care of. All that counts. Know you and dad will come to a good conclusion. Thanks for the video. Thanks to Becky for editing. You all take care and be safe. Thanks. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Western truck and tractor just put a reman in a RT and it made it about 3 miles
And your point is?
Don’t trust Deere remans 🤡
@@gregjames5070 what do you think his point is. A john deere reman exactly like zach needs was installed and grenades in minutes. More downtime, more expense. Most remans are being done down in Mexico. Think about it
So you watched one TH-cam video on a bad reman and you’re an expert on them? What about the thousands that are good? You’re just an ignorant muppet that thinks you know everything because you seen something on the internet. How did Zack’s family make it this long farming without you telling them what to do?🤡🤡
No expert here, but from experience we will not install a reman engine on our farm again weather it's Deere, Cummins, or any other.
Yep, I think I have decided that this is my favorite farmers channel. Larson’s is a close number two and after that The Welkers and of course Brian.
You say: "I've gotta leak in my tractor!"
I say: "Go ahead, it's your tractor..."
We leave marker flags in our 9520R so we can mark big holes or the orange/yellow tile drain inlets while we disc.
Thank You Zach for the video, I would watch Warren from Western Truck and Tractor Repairs and see his video on the Remaned John Deere Engines, cheers from Queensland, Australia.
Western truck and Tractor (You Tube) Just put a John Deere Re manufactured engine into a 9620.
Got her all installed and the stupid thing did not even make it 1/4 mile test run before she exploded.
" This is why I rebuild engines my self ( no remans)"
I think you should for sure demo a Fendt, we run quite a few of them and love them
i help a farmer here in southern mn and he has a 9560 RT and he has had to replace the motor,transmission and rearend. he ended up doing the reman and has pretty good luck so far. it ran last fall and this spring with no issues.
Zach calling Ditch and Anna.
Ditch and Anna sitting inside the workshop and waiting for the doors to open😂😂
I think it is Didge not ditch but this comment was still funny 😂
Yup, short for digit I believe
It's happened before!
"Didge" (He's "Strayan")
Title: More Bad News...1st thing he says is can’t find the dogs. I got terrified. I’m paused it, read the comments to make sure the dogs were ok, then kept watching. I work w/ dogs & mine are spoiled rotten, so I’m a bit sensitive about that
My dad said that in university they taught him that it only makes sense to buy a new tractor if you can put 1000 hours a year on it. So we are running two JCB fastrac 8250 and both of them are over 10 years old. So far we had only 2 issues with them in the field or on the road. Its nice to run a new tractor but the old ones are great too and they aren't as costly to run. And if there are some manufacturing issues for brand new models we dont have to deal with them since they are already sorted for us.
As Tony says “ work hard, pray harder” Good luck with your decision!
Zach watch out for some of those reman engines from John Deere. I have a friend that is a farmer in Illinois. He paid for a reman engine for his 9560 had it installed. Then got it back from the dealership to start planting season. Less than 2 hours on the motor after getting it back from the dealership the freaking camshaft gear broke off the camshaft. Oh to say he was a little miffed about the quality of John Deere's reman engines was putting it mildly. He took his entire fleet to the local Case IH dealership and traded EVERYTHING in planters combines tractors everything that was green to red this spring. Why John Deere claimed he abused the motor and was trying to refuse to pay for the repairs on the reman engine he just bought.
It doesn’t matter what colour u run at the end of the day all the major brands are similar but what makes the difference in dealer and parts support what hey i like green because of it lol 🤷
Btw. I whole heartedly support this channel. Love family farms. Heartbeat of America. Farm on.
yup I was here
It’s not fun
How is Nikki doing?
was up
if your stuck on green look into the deere quad track in our area there were several turned in from rentals this last year but track is not the only answer there large LS low profile tires are showing great promise in similar traction floatation and a whole lot less upkeep and initial cost.
would be really sad to see the 9560RT go, was one of the first new pices that came to the farm in the old youtube days. especially knowing that you did put in quite some money before that season to keep it. maybe the new engine is the right call, because you have a pretty new drive train then.
I went into this thinking the best suggestion is to go new, but there's also something about knowing the entire history of a machine that's soothing. Might not be a bad idea to stick with it
I manage a fleet of 85 diesel generators. We had a wrist pin pull out of a piston on a 1200hp CAT this week and throw the connecting rod halfway across the room and dented a lube oil barrel. She’s toast.
in the 1920s, my grandma found 3500 -4000 year old farm tools and fishing equipment in the dirt on our ranch here in arctic Norway . No hammer though :)
Do you still have that stuff?
Thor still has it I think.
My tractor driving days are long over but watching here from the UK you give us a great view of modern day farming out in the U.S.A , xxx
The only good thing about the 9560 breakdown is there hasn’t been a video showing Jim to blame
When the video title showed up and it didn't start with the dogs, I got a little worried.
That 9570 with the Cummins sounded quiet, and like it wasn't working very hard at all. My only thought on the 9560 with the bad engine is, you can throw a lot of money into an engine, and still have an old tractor around that engine. Good luck on your decision.
He tossed the rock back into the field for the next person! Nice
Someone else might need a hammer.
hes just funnin with you. Probably picked it back up off camera.
We’ve got a 7950 Deere SPFH with a 19 liter Cummins engine and it’s an amazingly fuel efficient machine as well as a torque monster but when we do have engine problems (which we have) we have to rely on a Cummins Dealer which is not as simple as it sounds!!!
Only OG’s know what the double jackpot reference was to.
Now I just want to know what "OG" means 😭
@@OliviANDixie Original Guys. Old Guys, Old Goats... basically means "those people that have been here watching for a long time."
Before you decide on a reman check out Western Truck and Tractor, It's along story but he installed a reman in a tracked JD and it only lasted 2 hours. The cam quit turning and screwed up the valves and tappets. I'm sure your dealer would like you to go with the reman so JD company has to warranty. If they overhaul they have to warranty, I'm guessing they may be nervous about having warranty on that series engine. If you opt for the reman Trade it off before reman warranty is off!!!! Enjoy your videos , Keep us up to date, Please and Thanks. Have been watching Warren for several years and no he didn't duck any thing up he's a damn good independent mechanic That works on a wide range of machinery.
Big sigh of relief when I saw your German Shephard there at the end.
Whew that’s a relief
You are making Deere sweat. Love the channel keep up the good work!
I'm guessing we'll see dancing when you get that 300bu/acre corn field!
Take a look to the Fendt. More comfort, silent and efficent
Expected you to say “shank you very much” when you found those shanks in the field.
Aaaaand it would be awesome to see a tracked yellow tractor on the farm again.
Yellow tractors are garbage as are the red ones
@@tigerbatman7881 Apparently the green ones break down too
@@EvilKenickie Would be nice to see him experiment with something we.. and perhaps he himself hasn't seen/worked with like MF, Fendt or even Claas, though i do remember him saying he's not a fan of the Claas white/green colors
@@tigerbatman7881 Hey Batman, us red guys got feelings ya know! (And a hell of a good tractor!) 😆
See the Diesel fitter in Arizona just fitted one of those Re man engines. Came apart after a few miles and bent all the valves.
Thanks for ya videos mate
Western truck and tractor repairs channel.
This is why I rebuild engines myself. Skip to the last ten minutes and you will see a reman engine. Good luck mate
I would love to see the versatile quad track
Ye that's a nice piece of kit.
Hell ya!!!👍👍✌✌
I would like to commend Mrs. Millennial Farmer for the way she edits the videos. She does very well,
I like how it always seems Mr. Nate’s answer to everything is “Yeeeaaahh”.😁😁😁
Zach, there are only 2 acceptable choices you can go with if you decide to venture away from deere and that is the darker shade of green or red AND yellow
woulb be nice to see a fendt demo on your farm
We have sold a lot of fendts in my neck of woods due to the deeres not holding up
He already had a challenger, same thing
Zach, we know you'll make best decisions for your farm! It's handy to have Midwest close though. Best of luck. Keep your chin up!
Great video & editing btw.
Yay the dogs actually got a room 😂😂
Yup! Tools accumulate in the cab over the course of the season.....When we go to clean them out only 1 person will know the reason for each tool being there, but every one was necessary at the time!
5:55 boy I was waiting for Zach to smash a finger. Glad he didn't.
I know a guy that repairs heavy equipment and he is convinced the reman engines are junk. He does not trust reman and I don't blame him. He hangs out in northern California just south of the Oregon state line. I don't think he would do a service call half way across the country but I would love to see him work on your stuff.

An Ode to Oats..!
That's why we got rid of our 9560 tractor. It had issues all the time. Plus you get stuff jammed in the tracks. So I had it listed for sale for more $$$ lucky somebody offered to buy it. And I had them meet me and a friend of mine at a area. They liked it brought it then a hour later at there area they flipped it over goimg down a steep hill no serious injuries. They ket the kids drive it. U should always have a small tool bag just in case u have to hop in another tractor. We had a security company install the same security system u guys have. The wife checks to see who's at the door when we are either gone or at work. It's always the kids friends or FedEx.
I'm sure welker farms have some suggestions on what you should trade it for
I have a bunch of tools at feet in my van and the door pockets too
Love how he just throws the rock🤣
Bet he also picked it up
Correction bud, the hammer
Hey Zach, if you want to try a Great Tractor buy a Versatile. They are an awesome Machine, built tough, cheap on fuel, and very well built. And Cummins powered, hard to beat.
Excuse me but you cannot title a video "more bad news" and start with not being able to find the dogs... my heart couldn't take that! 😂
My family owned 5500 acres in north central Missouri my grandpa ran a tight ship and one of his requirements was his tool box had to come along. My youngest uncle failed to do that once and he had to sleep out with the hogs for a weekend. So you know your not the only one that thinks tools at your "feet" isnt strange at all oh and he had a much smaller horse lol not nearly the amount of room you have on those 8000 series or the 9000 RT's
that double rainbow reference was well appreciated hahaa
Loving the Kip Siegler T @ 8:20
Missing the Jim got stuck video for this year if your nearly done.
Been seeing a lot of reviews on Fendt lately. Case Quadtracks are made in USA though. Factory for Case and New Holland agriculture and Case Construction articulated tractors, both conventional rubber and tracked, right here in Fargo, ND
“Hello, how are you comin’ down there?”
That’s what she said!
You should try a J&M rolling basket behind that cultivator.
Maybe you could get your hands on one of the new 1100 Mt series Fendt/Challengers
Would he cheat on his beloved Deeres tho
Liked the way you threw the hammer back out there for possible use later. 😎👍👌
Hopefully, you decide for 9570RT looks like a solid piece of iron. It would be lovely to see more of it on this channel!
Seeing you talking about rocks reminded me of this field I went by today, looks like a rock growing field. Probably only 5 acres but enough rock to walk the whole field and not step on dirt. No clue how that farmer makes that work.
On of the Fendt MTs would probably fit great, but I am unsure how good your service rep is or how close. Midwest seems like a perfect fit for your op, so I would probably guess (and even advice) to stay Green and Yellow.
Equipment is only as good as the Dealer/Service Techs you have.
"And to think. Some humans live in cities." I represent that, and at times I resent that. Been in the city for over forty years, but still miss the country. You cannot get the country out of the boy. (Old man, either.)
You should do a equipment tour when you get time.
He's done this already, but he's bought a lot of stuff since becoming a famous youtuber.

Like color of green on tractors 🚜, John Deere tractors . 😘🚜😀 Mike from Missouri
ROFL, loved the Double Rainbow guy shout-out.
A try doing oil analyzes. That will help you figure problems out before they happen usually I also recommend running. Prolong. It really helps Lou the engine better Cold starts are less harsh and so on and so forth
