A nice thing about working with family is yes you may have different ideas, but you can settle and hear everybody’s opinion and pick the best idea or a combination of the ideas to get a plan together. I had a big family. I had five brothers and one sister my dad was always working or in the shop and we learned how to work together, you guys have a good time be safe. God bless this is a godly redneck.
What an impressive feat! This video perfectly highlights the ingenuity required in farming life. The moment where a sudden breeze hit and the quick adjustment to the ratchet straps was truly intense! It’s incredible to see how you guys pull off these seemingly impossible projects with determination and skill.
2 reasons, having space for more grain at harvest, and having the ability to wait to sell. The price you got those at compared to today is priceless, even though it took a while to bring them to your farm! :) best to your family!
Nick, I use a worn-out end of a thin leaf spring to separate and put large spiral pipe together. It's very hard steel and won't dig into the other steel when demoing or installing. It's about 10" long, I welded a 3/4 x 1/2 solid stock for a handle. You can stick it through the 2 cut ends with ease then take a hammer to slide and drive it around. Works well. Frame and axle shops will give you a leaf or 2.
Thanks for another fantastic video Welkers. It was a most interesting one. First of all thanks to Nick for having his kids outside and teaching them about the northern lights. Good job. Then on to the bins. There is absolutely nothing the Welker family will not tackle. Unbelievable job well done. You would think you all did this every day. Great job of separating the bins and loading them on trailers and hauling them over to your bin site. You planned that one real good. The drone footage was excellent. Amazing. Gives a different perspective of hauling the bins. Neat you found a way to get them across the highway and across land to your place. I Am curious what a new bin like that would cost. Obviously you are saving quite a bit by moving old bins. You folks can engineer anything. Tremendous job Welkers. My blessings to you. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍✅🙏🇺🇸
Leg Arms let me help you make your point another way. My brother and I used to work together, sure, there were epic fights but we both knew we had each other's back. That ended when he died in a car accident in 2009. I can honestly say, I wish he was here to have those epic fights again.... working with family is tough, they know your buttons. Working with family is fantastic because they know your buttons.
From one astonishment into the other with the Welkers. Wow, what a project. Amazing! Hope they will be filled up with next years crop. Wish you blessings!
Love to see that old original first Big Bud working & be extremely useful on the farm once again, you cannot beat that old iron, farmer friendly, reliable & no monthly payments. A marvel of American engineering.😎😎😎
This is great to see this. It exciting to see this about Big Bud moving the grain bins. I spent a year at Northern Montana College. I am from Ronan and it is neat about Montana.
Thanks for sharing... Wasnt expecting that shirt you had on to hit me like that Scott. Bought my dad one a couple years ago... Was his favorite shirt before he died... Your so right about family though... He drove me nuts but id give anything to have him back and healthy.
I agree it was sketchy, but it was done with care, so glad to say no problems! I would love to see the northern lights, just one in my life, you seem to get them monthly, not fair, but because of where you live, it's a fact of life, I would love to see your farm in the flesh, but never will, so have to visit vicariously via YT. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos, it is very much appreciated if not necessarily spoken, but know that it is!!! From UK..
We've seen the southern aura here in Australia twice this year. We're at 37 degrees south, so it is very rare for us. About 40 years ago since I last saw it.
On our farm we moved two buildings 20x40 on my flatbed semi trailer by using old 12x12 inch barn beams for skids to slide and anchor down the sheds. Had a couple small hiccups, but moved them 4 miles to repurpose on our home farm. Very good job Welkers
Great Videos Welker Farms I love seeing family tackle tough projects and succeed!!! Can't wait to see the bin yard when all the moved bins are complete and ready for use. God Bless and Take care !!
Man you guys are beasts, you take on projects that most people would have nightmares about. Keep up the good work, Dad my hat is off to you, good job instilling a work ethic in the boys. That is above and beyond.
We are at the peak of the 11-year cycle of solar activity, and the solar flares have been pointing toward earth, which has made for the amazing light shows this year. I've loved it too!
Very cool, the end with the kids excited to see you was the best of this video. Speaks volume of the kind of family you are through your children's actions, they don't fake love and I could feel it even through the video, the love they have for you..... oh by the way, how long did that whole job take?
This video vividly demonstrates the transformative power of modern technology in farming, showcasing machinery that completes tasks once requiring an entire team with astonishing efficiency, making large-scale agricultural work easier, faster, and more productive for everyone involved.
we were given a couple of 1200 bu grain bins years ago , moved them down the highway 30 miles on an old drag springtooth trailer, only had 4in clearance under the trailer!! try putting a load spreader across the top of the lower segment before you lift it , it will help keep it from warping. some of the stiffener beams like on the big bins would work. northern lights are a great teaching aid for the youngsters have fun!!!!
1981 south Alberta 65 bushel wheat and 100 bushel barley biggest crop I ever harvested. May you have a bumper crop. God bless you. normal was 30 wheat and 60 barley.
Just need a floor in legarms trailer and youll have yourselves your own grain cart for harvest, be the biggest in the district probably haha Good that you found someone in the local government with sense to give you a permit, these days so many if them just say no becuase its too much hassle and they dont want to risk sticking their nexk out
The thing about working with any close-knit group is that you keep in mind that you have the same goal but each mind may see a different method, approach or path to achieving that goal. Some observations may be more efficient than others but that doesn't make the other approaches wrong. The goal is the same.
i know it might be a bit demorilising but a friend of mine just harvested 2,800 acres and averaged 2.2 ton to the acre.Just imagined if you had them numbers with an excellant season
Kinda nice you can Recycle those little bins you see so many left over after all the wood has rotten on the barns and farm houses and all that is left of the old farm is that old steel bin or cement silo!
I couldn't help but notice you described your storage tanks as 21 and 24 feet wide and somewhat difficult to move. Elon's Starship is 398 feet tall and 30 feet wide. I enjoy your podcasts, hombre.
Last year I transfer similar bin... And from experience, I think it might be easier / faster in overall to just bolf off those bottom ring into pieces.
I bought a building and wanted to reuse the roof. It was an old church and was built in 1873. Anyway, repurposed a trailer, extended drawbar and built manual jack system under each corner. Backed it under the roof, supported roof and cut top of walls that were rotten. Pulled in to a flat area and lowered it down over the trailer. It looked quite strange. Drove it about 8 miles home and I'm on state highway. It took up complete road. I got off the tractor and was messing about and local policeman stopped. Asked, where you taking that. I said nowhere. I said I just arrived. You're too late and we laughed. He did say if heavy vehicle cops had seen me they would have had a field day. It was 22' wide and 36' long. It just sneaked under power lines because the trailer was inside it. Fun times
The ultimate in repurpose and reuse! Y'all are set up for that size of bins, and you will give them extra life. Some want leg systems to do the same thing as what y'all are doing for way less co$t!👍👍
Not likely. The moisture doesn't hold over THAT well. Plus you are cropping /2 the acres. Subtract the cost of summerfallowing or chem fallowing 1/2 the land.
Nick I have often wondered, since you save your seed from the crop you harvest. Could your seed genetics be hampered? I mean if it is a low producing year over multiple years, could the seed be losing the genetics to be a large yield?
There is nothing the Welker boys won’t tackle. Well done.

And all this time I thought a bin had to be disassembled to be moved. Wow that's a great job. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us
This is what sets your channel apart is how you guys work together and the things you take on for projects the way it use to be..... keep em coming...
That crane your father built works great. Welker farm gets it DONE!
Never under estimate the ingenuity and resourcefulness of American farmers. You guys are the best!
Wise words my friend, if only we could have a president with half their common sense.

If you don’t need them for a bumper crop, you can always build cabins inside those bins. Montana B&B bins! 👍

Excellent move on bin 1. Your three definitely know how to figure things out. Woot Woot!
Only when the camera is rolling, usually they're just the same as any other family & fight like cats & dogs. 😂🤣😂
You should see the northern lights from the north. I worked up in Yellowknife in the 90s , something to see. Stay safe.🇨🇦

Drone shot of the lower bin segment flexing as Leg Arms drove was wild. Looked like grain bin Jello!
Another great video guys I am glad the weather is holding so good for you while you move those bins !!

Thanks for watching!!
Montana can have really good crops at times. We cut wheat east of Conrad that everything was at least 70 and one field went 94 in one 260 acres field!
You will eventually once again have very productive growing seasons. You will use those bins. Keep 🙏 for rain.
Love the drone footage every time! We've seen the Northern Lights a few times in Indiana this year! Amazing!
I have a pair of Brunt Distasios that I've had for nearly a year. I love them.
We've seen the southern aura here in Australia twice this year. We're at 37 degrees south, so it is very rare for us. About 40 years ago since I last saw it.

I have no clue what had changed but this year in Southwest Louisiana I saw the Northern lights twice! Absolutely mind blown!!!

If you build it they will come. Nothing but great thoughts and prayers. 👍🙏.
i was think to go to sleep half hour ago, but i feel like welker would upload new video. now i'm watching it
Nice! I haven't seen the Northern lights since I was 4 years old. Of course I live in Texas.

Wow Papa Welker surfing the grain bens very cool
Hard working and innovative family. How come the Fummins wasn’t call into duty?
BAGS emergency storage for bumper CROPS??😢😢. Nice job guys 👍👍. Leg Arms love the cab headliner in old red dodge!!
Letting the kids watch the Northern Lights...very wise! Very family first!
Here's hoping for a good crop and all bins full!!
21:30 in Australia it’s usually a carton of beer.
You guys are ingenious. Very impressive.
Absolutely awesome! Much easier than completely disassembling them and reassembling.
For the amount of work involved, I am guessing you got those bins cheap! Great to see some old school farming ingenuity at work too.
$2500 total for 5 bins
Great video Nick LegArms and Bob
Fire fighting big brute was a good video. I remember watching it while I was in college.
Welp E your videos. We can't thank you enough for sharing your blessed lives with us and making our lives happier. God bless you!
Thanks so much for watching and God bless you too!
That ole 12v Cummins bogging down sounds so gooood
Wish I could help love doing things like that looks like a great time. Stay safe and god bless to you all
Nothing stops you all. Be safe. Great job.
Farmer engineering. Best way to go. Thanks for the footage of the northern lights. Don't see them Houston.
Just need a floor in legarms trailer and youll have yourselves your own grain cart for harvest, be the biggest in the district probably haha

Good interesting channel. A blessing to work with family.
What a trio. Good job guys.
when I first started following you guys piled grain outside and if I remember right in bags and you actually had mud and got stuck
Kinda nice you can Recycle those little bins you see so many left over after all the wood has rotten on the barns and farm houses and all that is left of the old farm is that old steel bin or cement silo!
Thanks guy's......An Nick you gotta beautiful home + the northern light IN THE SKY......GOD BLESS

It's only sketchy if it fails to work! If it works it's genius!
You guys are ao awesome 😊 God bless you and your entire family 😊😊😊😊😊.
Good luck filling all those bins with your harvested crop.😊
moving grain bins AND northern lights!! What a channel?!!

Absolutely amazing !!! The ingenuity of you guys is GREAT. Repurposing old bins and giving them new life. Great Job guys !!!
you could fill those bins if you would split the farm and do 50% crop one year with the other 50% in chem fallow; then you would have 40 bu. yield
Not likely. The moisture doesn't hold over THAT well. Plus you are cropping /2 the acres. Subtract the cost of summerfallowing or chem fallowing 1/2 the land.
Indeed crazy 😲😲😁😁😎😎👍👍but lov'n it!!! God Bless✝✝
Those work boots are dank, just like the Northern Lights...
Fine crop of Lights this year😂
I really like the way you do your intros now. No more storm.
Nick I have often wondered, since you save your seed from the crop you harvest. Could your seed genetics be hampered? I mean if it is a low producing year over multiple years, could the seed be losing the genetics to be a large yield?
2-3 inches of rain is probably the main reason for low yields
