The amount of mud they are tracking out on the road you’d see about any farmer try to scrape it off. Might not be till the end of the day but it would happen
I have seen rain hit the mud from a field on a tar road.... it's like snot and slippery as heck. Someone driving, especially at night, can really slide around on the road and have an accident! So glad that most farmers clean off the roads! Thank You Larson Farms for scraping the road! 👍👍
Farmers in my area wouldn't make a single attempt to clean it up. My Dad quit farming 25 years ago, and the current generation of farmers around me suck at being considerate.
Dougo, your memory is still good, however I'm 74 and I question mine, and I understand you like a brother. With regard to the nut on left side of the bracket looking at it from the rear of the flail machine is explainable. It is easier to understand if you look at the machine's rotor from the left side of the machine with the front of the machine to your left side. This understanding is associated with the definition that most farm grade bolts have a right hand or clockwise thread. Now if the rotor is rotating clockwise, throwing debris forward toward the tractor as you stated, then the bolt that secures the flail blade will also have a clockwise rotational momentum. If the securing nut is placed on the right side of attachment bracket, observed from rear of machine, not to the left as you show, the clockwise rotational momentum of the bolt will be tightening itself into the nut because its rotational mass is greater than the mass of the nut. However, the flail blade is not rigidly attached to the rotor, and when it hits something abruptly, it changes its direction 180 degrees and its instantaneous rotational momentum increases substantially in according to what it hits, stalks, ground, rocks, etc. These changes in forces in conjunction with the frictional coupling between the flail blade and the attachment bolt facilitate the transfer of these new forces to the nut, thereby reversing the original tightening effect on the nut, each strike is like that of an impact driver in the reverse direction. This is all changed by rotating the attachment bolt 180 degrees, nut on other side of the attachment bracket, as you showed, now each impact tightens the nut, just as you mentioned.
Haven't been following yall long but i can tell that yall are a top notch operation. Nobody seems to get bent out of shape considering the many things that go wrong in farming. No foul language or anything. So hard to find a channel that doesn't feed off the drama and fuss and cuss all the time. Keep up the awesome work. 👍👍
Chet, those are brutal conditions, I feel for you guys. Always enjoy Dougo expressing his thoughts. A wise man ... right up until he gets stuck in the mud. Sorry Dougo! God Bless and stay safe throughout harvest
Dougo, can you take us with you when you take the corn stalk chopper out? Would love to see the before/after and usage of that implement. Plus, it's just a good time hanging with ya! Edit: That's what I get for writing a comment before finishing the video... at about 17:20, Dougo says he's gonna take us with!
Douglas is kinda of a hero of mine. He is a lot younger than me. But I love his work ethic. In fact I like all of their work ethic. This makes me have hope for America.
You don't know how good you guys have it I grew up on a dairy farm and I miss it every day I would come help you guys on weekends if you ever needed it unfortunately I now live my farming life through guys like you trust me you got it good I now drive semi through Chicago every night it sucks
At least you keep showing up and dancing with Mother Nature everyday! You take the good with bad and keep the content coming and we appreciate it greatly! I was so glad you gave Mama a shout out because I was thinking….I know they appreciate her but now would it kill them to give her a BIG THANK YOU….and you never disappoint.❤❤ Mr. Dougo just gets better-if that is possible!!(staying hydrated and bumping us with bottle? That is something BS would!) BRAVO‼️👏👏👏👏 Hats off to all The Larson Farm Family members…..
Amy’s food looks good. I’d definitely have to get me a piece 🌯😂. We got an older school bus and put a Griddle, a Grill, Deep fryer, Oven, and a Fridge/Deep Freeze. It all runs off an Onan generator. Park it in the field during harvest and we usually have 2-3 things you can choose between.
I'm not a farmer, wish I were.. that being said I totally love learning about the machinery and how everything works! Pretty fascinating. Y'all have a blessed day
So back around 78 -79 my first job was working at DuPage County Fair Grounds here in west burbs of Chicago. One of my tasks was to mow the big parking lots. We had a yellow J-D no cab with a bucket out front and 3 point in the back. The mower was similar to this unit but it had different style cutting blades. It had like two chain links and then a V shaped thing at the end. I was always surprised at the carnage I would see at the next time around. Lets just say those woodchucks didn't see their shadows in Feb.
I have the Milwaukee grease gun. The trick is to stop pumping between the “compression”. It helps. But still comes out a tiny bit. Definitely get the Lock & Lube fittings for it with the attachments. So much nicer to use
Awesome video Chet. DougO' we love you no matte what you're doing on the far. It jusr shows that day to day life changes about as often as the weather itself. Stay safe guys. 🚜🚜🚜
This is a good example of the mud/dirt you guys actually deal with up there. It looks very strange to those that farm the sandy loam ground in most of the midwest. Additionally, it's so muddy on top you would think the equipment would just sink up to the axles instantly. This is very strange!

Welcome to my world edge of the field hedge cutting cutting the hedge bottoms ditches wood pidgin feathers ever we're when they get leaving the hedge to late 😊
The “ooz” is caused by tiny air pockets in the grease. The gun compresses the pockets of air when dispensing the grease. Then when you release the trigger, the compressed pockets of air in the gun and hose push the grease out end of the hose.
Chet, Doug and Brody, I remember mudding in and out of our cornfields! YUKKY! A couple years we waited for it to freeze & then combined the corn. We used our stock chopper every year.... our IH 503s didn't have chopping heads. Technology is AMAZING!
doug get Lincons. they do not ozzz out. i use a Lincon batt grease gun, to grease trucks and trailers at work and they work awesome. i have had mine 5 years now and the batteries seem to stand up awesome. I guess to say knock on wood nothing goes to hell in a hand basket any time soon.
good job Dougo balancing those blades on the stalk chopper now you should try it on a automobile and sheet iron shredder. the one I worked on and fed was a small one compared to the mega shredders they make nowadays but it had 30 hammers two rows of 8 two rows of 7 and the hammers weighed on average 220 lbs each and they had to weigh them so they weighed as close as possible on the two rows on opposite sides and they even had to keep track of how much welding rods or wire they used when they welded on the rotor so they used the same amount on each side. the bare rotor when it is new weighs 25 ton and by the time they put the 30 hammers and the pins that holds them in and the end caps on the end of the spiders it weighs over 30 ton and just a couple pounds out of balance and it shake the ground and the building and it feels like an earthquake. the mega shredders have hammers that weigh 800 lbs they are about waist high when new and in two days they will be about half that size and weight and they get removed and sent back to the foundry and melted down and made into new ones. our shredder will do approximately 450 ton of finished ferrous metal in a 10 hour shift and the mega shredders will put that out every hour they can load rail cars and build up the stockpile at the same time. the biggest shredder I know of is in Indiana it was built in the 2010’s so there might be a bigger one somewhere now
When i was much younger i worked for the local canning factory, most of the time i ran 4 row new idea 702 with a 4 row head for sweet corn, then some time later got new 708's with rear wheel assist.. man what an improvement..lol anyway each picking crew has a designated push tracter driver. the tractor had push frame on the front and a ton of log chains draped all over for getting dump carts, pickers and trucks unstuck in Wisconsin. You haven't had fun till you have buried a UNI up to the frame at 3am... good times...not
When done greasing, I pull the plunger back and lock it in the out position, don't loose one bit of grease just makes it awkward to store in tighter spaces. Great video shame it's so wet for you all !
I bought a half section a few years back the previous owner never farmed so just rented it out his whole life but the previous renter had it for 30 years and 3/4 of the mile long field he piled rocks on the edge about a payloader bucket wide and 2 foot high and only left gaps for drive way approaches about 25 side dumps later I gained that ground back!
I mowed over a fawn while cutting hay. It was not pleasant at all and I did feel bad. But in my defense you can’t see them in the tall hay and they won’t move 😢
Back in the day before chopping corn heads we would run a flail mower over our corn stalks before fall tillage. I was 8-9 years old mowing corn down and then had to go mow the 3 acre yard we had......😁. Dougo, you are a master at all things and the years of hard work shine off of everything you do. Amy, you are going to have to talk Dougo into putting a set of mud tires on your vehicle for the field..........🤣.
Oozing grease gun - I would put a long solid pipe for most of the length (which won't expand) and a short flexible end on that to allow getting in to tough spots. That should take care of the majority of the wasted grease.
Dugo, we used a stalk chopper just like that before the Drago head, still use the shredder. It is parked to keep the neighbor from encroaching on the bordering driveway.
We cut rice down in south Louisiana. Tires do better than tracks. Tracks don’t dig. Tires do but aftermath is not good. Come spring when we can disc well let’s just say we find the ruts
I replaced the original milwaukee hoze with a hydraulic one with a standard thread on the nozzle end of it, so that you can use any nozzle with it and not just the milwaukee ones. Helped a lot with the oozing issue.
Hey larsons, thank you guys for being you and pushing through this long long harvest season, yall are killing it. Just wanna give a huge thank you to you guys, I was hurt bad about a year ago and i watched you guys through out the recovery to help keep my mind off things, so thank you guys for being awesome!
Dougo i use a grease coupler made or sold by a company called lock& lube their coupler doesnt leak weather under pressure or not ck them out .Thanks for the great video Sir!
That was more like it chet, dare ya to rip donuts in air force 1, or the TRX c'mon mannnnnn lol, now you got Mudd, hey ya gotta get the crops out, good work, thanks for sharing
I have never seen a farmer clean a road, doesn't bother me that mud is on the road but does show what kind of people you guys really are.
Ya that they don’t have enough to do😅
The amount of mud they are tracking out on the road you’d see about any farmer try to scrape it off. Might not be till the end of the day but it would happen

We have to clean the roads in Wisconsin otherwise the cops show up
Farmers in my area wouldn't make a single attempt to clean it up. My Dad quit farming 25 years ago, and the current generation of farmers around me suck at being considerate.
Doug-O, its hard to believe you were once camera shy. You’re a natural!
Dougo is priceless. Gone from not wanting to be on camera to Mr. Natural.
Its always a pleasure spending time with Dougo

Pity you can’t make a long shallow pit that holds water and just drive back and forth through it to get the mud off the tracks
Youve never had as much fun as stalk chopping with an open tractor. Been there
Some of the best content on the Tube. Always look forward to Larson Farm Harvest time content. The work you put it is epic. Thanks!
Haven't been following yall long but i can tell that yall are a top notch operation. Nobody seems to get bent out of shape considering the many things that go wrong in farming. No foul language or anything. So hard to find a channel that doesn't feed off the drama and fuss and cuss all the time. Keep up the awesome work. 👍👍
Imagine doing that on your back dougo you should be happy that you have a pit to use so you don’t have to lay on your back anymore 😊
Chet, those are brutal conditions, I feel for you guys. Always enjoy Dougo expressing his thoughts. A wise man ... right up until he gets stuck in the mud. Sorry Dougo! God Bless and stay safe throughout harvest

🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's all good.
If ya know, well you know. 😂
Best farm you tube channel out there. You guys deserve 1 million followers. I have no idea how to spread the word but I appreciate your content.
Hi 👋
Mrs. Amy for the win on the amazing looking field treats. Great video.
AMY!! you gave us old facts such a good idea for our Breakfasts!! THANX HUN!!
Hey Dougo, I hollered woe and you didn't stop
I say tires for the win. Brody is not getting stuck and has no tracks to clean out. He is making me question my track purchases.
Douglas is kinda of a hero of mine. He is a lot younger than me. But I love his work ethic. In fact I like all of their work ethic. This makes me have hope for America.
Ya know
Most do not realise the tme/ dedication/knoweledge to do what you all do.
NICE. Keep it going
Si distributing makes a tube that bolts on the back at the blower keeps all that trash from building up on the spreader works great
You have a great family God bless you all
I like the 7000 series Allis tractor and the 815/915 IH combine in your toy display case.
You don't know how good you guys have it I grew up on a dairy farm and I miss it every day I would come help you guys on weekends if you ever needed it unfortunately I now live my farming life through guys like you trust me you got it good I now drive semi through Chicago every night it sucks
I wish I was carting for you guys most time I'm in mud there is no bottom to it.
The mud fun 😩 yikes cleaning those tracks oooo
At least you keep showing up and dancing with Mother Nature everyday! You take the good with bad and keep the content coming and we appreciate it greatly! I was so glad you gave Mama a shout out because I was thinking….I know they appreciate her but now would it kill them to give her a BIG THANK YOU….and you never disappoint.❤❤ Mr. Dougo just gets better-if that is possible!!(staying hydrated and bumping us with bottle?

👍🏻👍🏻for farm moms ,wifes and fiance's with picnic baskets in tow ❤
The old flail mower you can't beat them 👍
I like Dougo, "When we clean tracks!" I don't remember Dougo helping a few years ago during mud mania! Be safe! God, bless them!
I think it would look really cool if you had a large Larson Farms logo on the newly painted diesel tanks
YES! That's what l thought too!
So back around 78 -79 my first job was working at DuPage County Fair Grounds here in west burbs of Chicago. One of my tasks was to mow the big parking lots.

Lets just say those woodchucks didn't see their shadows in Feb.
Its called a Flail mower ...looking at them close you would think that thing aint gonna cut nothing...
Amy, that’s a good looking breakfast for sure!
Doug your killing it Godbless
That retracting of the grease gun is a great idea, my Dewalt does the same thing, oozes grease after you shut it off.
I have the Milwaukee grease gun. The trick is to stop pumping between the “compression”. It helps. But still comes out a tiny bit. Definitely get the Lock & Lube fittings for it with the attachments. So much nicer to use
Dougo your the Boss man so your decisions are final and we’ll see you tomorrow chopping corn.
Awesome video Chet. DougO' we love you no matte what you're doing on the far. It jusr shows that day to day life changes about as often as the weather itself.
Stay safe guys. 🚜🚜🚜
Enjoyed watching the video Chet😊
Over the Hill I'll Be Home. 🤘😎🔥
I did enjoy this THUROUGHLY Chet😊 Those are definitely less than ideal conditions to be driving in😵 Always NICE to have a learning lesson with Dougo👍
This is a good example of the mud/dirt you guys actually deal with up there. It looks very strange to those that farm the sandy loam ground in most of the midwest. Additionally, it's so muddy on top you would think the equipment would just sink up to the axles instantly. This is very strange!
Get alemite end for the grease gun with check valve simple I keep 10 new ends on hand all times
You need Randy the Tile Master Layer that would be a GREAT video

Welcome to my world edge of the field hedge cutting cutting the hedge bottoms ditches wood pidgin feathers ever we're when they get leaving the hedge to late 😊
When it comes to racoons and stalk shreadders; Doug, one can always hope. 😁
The “ooz” is caused by tiny air pockets in the grease. The gun compresses the pockets of air when dispensing the grease. Then when you release the trigger, the compressed pockets of air in the gun and hose push the grease out end of the hose.
I feel your pain Doug! We got to replace bearings this year. It went surprisingly smooth! Keep up the great videos!
Chet, Doug and Brody, I remember mudding in and out of our cornfields! YUKKY! A couple years we waited for it to freeze & then combined the corn. We used our stock chopper every year.... our IH 503s didn't have chopping heads. Technology is AMAZING!
Magnifique matériel agricole et les tracteur à chenille et les transbordeur et les moissonneuse batteuse sont bien 😂😊😮😅
thank you
I’ve got one of those Milwaukee grease guns and mine doesn’t ooze, I would say it’s the nozzle on the grease gun is worn 👍
doug get Lincons. they do not ozzz out. i use a Lincon batt grease gun, to grease trucks and trailers at work and they work awesome. i have had mine 5 years now and the batteries seem to stand up awesome. I guess to say knock on wood nothing goes to hell in a hand basket any time soon.
On a potato Farm we used a machine much like yours called a ROTO BEATER, it chopped up the vines to make digging easier.
And i thought i was the only one stressed on the ooze from the milwaukee grease gun🤣🤣
good job Dougo balancing those blades on the stalk chopper now you should try it on a automobile and sheet iron shredder. the one I worked on and fed was a small one compared to the mega shredders they make nowadays but it had 30 hammers two rows of 8 two rows of 7 and the hammers weighed on average 220 lbs each and they had to weigh them so they weighed as close as possible on the two rows on opposite sides and they even had to keep track of how much welding rods or wire they used when they welded on the rotor so they used the same amount on each side. the bare rotor when it is new weighs 25 ton and by the time they put the 30 hammers and the pins that holds them in and the end caps on the end of the spiders it weighs over 30 ton and just a couple pounds out of balance and it shake the ground and the building and it feels like an earthquake. the mega shredders have hammers that weigh 800 lbs they are about waist high when new and in two days they will be about half that size and weight and they get removed and sent back to the foundry and melted down and made into new ones. our shredder will do approximately 450 ton of finished ferrous metal in a 10 hour shift and the mega shredders will put that out every hour they can load rail cars and build up the stockpile at the same time. the biggest shredder I know of is in Indiana it was built in the 2010’s so there might be a bigger one somewhere now
Lock n lube grease tips!! No ooze and almost never have grease ooze anywhere around the grease zirk
Remember running one of those choppers for my father in law, fun times! You boys got a muddy mess going there, be safe!
New idea.hydraulic track drive motors on the grain cart.less crabbing more pushing lol.
Elmers Mfg make a hydrostatic drive grain cart. Big pto powered pump mounted on the hitch .
Your Mom is the best
Love the new intro of farm!
Put em all on new that way its good to go for the next time ! 😎
When i was much younger i worked for the local canning factory, most of the time i ran 4 row new idea 702 with a 4 row head for sweet corn, then some time later got new 708's with rear wheel assist.. man what an improvement..lol anyway each picking crew has a designated push tracter driver. the tractor had push frame on the front and a ton of log chains draped all over for getting dump carts, pickers and trucks unstuck in Wisconsin.

Thank for sharing🇮🇩❤❤❤
When done greasing, I pull the plunger back and lock it in the out position, don't loose one bit of grease just makes it awkward to store in tighter spaces. Great video shame it's so wet for you all !
Big sweet is probably bouncing in that old 580 to not get stuck 😂
Thanks for sharing.
Dougo wants a beaver Trophy for the office desk 😂
Check out JoJo Snow... 😂
I bought a half section a few years back the previous owner never farmed so just rented it out his whole life but the previous renter had it for 30 years and 3/4 of the mile long field he piled rocks on the edge about a payloader bucket wide and 2 foot high and only left gaps for drive way approaches about 25 side dumps later I gained that ground back!
When you were showing the differences in the flail blades, I was thinking, "Join in on cue" . . . "One of these things is not like the other!" 😂
Been there. Nice when you get foot or more snow on top of the mud
Show me the beaver dad. I need a new hat from Dugo's beaver😂😂😂
I mowed over a fawn while cutting hay. It was not pleasant at all and I did feel bad. But in my defense you can’t see them in the tall hay and they won’t move 😢
So Doug you don’t dribble after ?🤔🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧
Like a giant flail. Sweet. Dugo, get load and go grease gun. No mess with the grease!
Back in the day before chopping corn heads we would run a flail mower over our corn stalks before fall tillage. I was 8-9 years old mowing corn down and then had to go mow the 3 acre yard we had......😁. Dougo, you are a master at all things and the years of hard work shine off of everything you do. Amy, you are going to have to talk Dougo into putting a set of mud tires on your vehicle for the field..........🤣.
I love my flail mower.
Maybe you’ll find a beaver with the flail mower Dougo?!!?
i love you guys your all funny to listen too everyday thanks guys
Had exact same problem with my grease gun. 2 new ones and both did it. Tired of the waste and mess. Got dewalt guns and problems went away
Chet, just think of it as helping the trash back into the ground. Lol. Faster breakdown!!!!😅😅😅
I agree Doug the Milwaukee grease guns are awesome. I learn a lot from your videos
Oozing grease gun - I would put a long solid pipe for most of the length (which won't expand) and a short flexible end on that to allow getting in to tough spots. That should take care of the majority of the wasted grease.
I like you’re new intro picture of farm
I remember our chopper having big rubber strips like fan for chopping, but it’s been awhile.
Dugo, we used a stalk chopper just like that before the Drago head, still use the shredder. It is parked to keep the neighbor from encroaching on the bordering driveway.
Ran the remnants of a deer through the stock chopper once. That was a mistake I only made once.
We cut rice down in south Louisiana. Tires do better than tracks. Tracks don’t dig. Tires do but aftermath is not good. Come spring when we can disc well let’s just say we find the ruts
Dougo That Grease is the iron's best friend lol. No rusty eheheh. Yup agreed corn head cutters did and do save money.
It’s the hose that swells up is why you get all that greese
Your mom needs her own recipe book like asap I need that meal
Dougo, you need to pump the grease in until the dirty grease is out and you see new clean grease!
That’s the way you blow the seals out of them, over greasing.
@@dong9163 If they are sealed, you wouldn't need to grease them. Pump the grease until you see clean grease.
So his lights are on ! A
Ain't hurting none
I replaced the original milwaukee hoze with a hydraulic one with a standard thread on the nozzle end of it, so that you can use any nozzle with it and not just the milwaukee ones. Helped a lot with the oozing issue.
Hey larsons, thank you guys for being you and pushing through this long long harvest season, yall are killing it. Just wanna give a huge thank you to you guys, I was hurt bad about a year ago and i watched you guys through out the recovery to help keep my mind off things, so thank you guys for being awesome!
I hope you are doing much better now.
Dougo i use a grease coupler made or sold by a company called lock& lube their coupler doesnt leak weather under pressure or not ck them out .Thanks for the great video Sir!
That was more like it chet, dare ya to rip donuts in air force 1, or the TRX c'mon mannnnnn lol, now you got Mudd, hey ya gotta get the crops out, good work, thanks for sharing
It's not just you Doug, all you can do is let the pressure off with the spring tap on the gun itself. Drives me nuts too.
