Another great video. The Telehandlers originally were badged Matbro units built in Northern Ireland. Matbro went bust in the late nineties. Deere took over production at the Zweibrucken factory in a fairly short time considering the task at hand. They were very popular in the UK and commanded a good market share. Still working on many farms over here. Due to more room required to build more combines, production stopped in 2006. There was a pivot steer machine as well, a 3800. They should have stuck with it.
Hello, I am watching your videos in Ukraine. We have John Deere equipment on the farm, although I do not understand English, but I learn a lot from the videos
Always enjoy your videos. I spent many years dealing with industrial gas turbines. The real wealth of the USA is actually in the hands of our farmers and folks like you that keep the country’s production going. Well done!
Like watching your videos. Your calming ways of talking and doing repairs - your good knowledge of these machines - your clean and professional workshop. It all just make watching your videos so relaxing and enjoyable. Please keep them coming. 🇿🇦
Another interesting repair video, please keep them coming. I’d love to see another service truck tour, as my own toolbox has benefited from some of the interesting tools you’ve bought.
I would love to see you work on older equipment. I'm sure you don't have to many of those service calls but if you do please film them. My newest piece is a 1998 8100
Holy cow you could reach through that hole and rebuild the transmission. That is one heck of a big shop. I thought it was another dealers shop... You earned your pay on that telehandler.
Your methodical patience is wonderful. We were down in Oklahoma for Christmas 2022. My grandson wanted to put a speed shifter in his 2019 Honda Civic. I could not help him because of a bad cold. I told him to take lots of pictures. He did. He also had instructions. I thought of you doing your work step by step. Everything worked and he is happy. A few days later, he even let me drive his car. He is attending university and one of his hobbies is refurbishing old typewriters for relaxation. He is learning to plan things out. . . . You always impress me with your work. 😊
I always put some batterygrease on all battery poles and to all important connections to prevent corrosion, helped me a lot during my years of tampering with old cars and tractors.
I think that cable stud would be a good place for a coating of some fluid film. My theory is if I worked on it once then either myself or someone else will have to work on it again someday. Good job 👏👏
I absolutely loved the blues music! I am a amazed how you will at attack a disaster like this and solve it. What a mess! Give me a good ole 4020 with a 720 loader and I am a happy camper.
Wow yea now that’s an oil plug wow 😯 yea if that plug turns loose look out yea keep the awesome content coming in and that’s for all the time you put into these videos
Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. Yes I vote for a tool truck tour and looking at some special type tools. Would be interesting. I would be interested in some more work on the track systems on these new tractors. Know very little on them. Us older guys are wheel type tractors. Thanks. Today. Both jobs were interesting. First one was straight forward. Interesting how much oil was above that plug. The thing that caught my eye was that HUGE shop with ALL green in it. Wow and wow on the shop and equipment in it. Never seen that big of a shop with so much green in it. A lot of dollars in there. Most interesting. Second the telehandler. That was a hard one to track down. ZK you found the problem but typically have to tear so much plastic apart to get to the problem. Exactly what you had to do. You found it. My sincere compliments to you for cleaning the cab parts up. Shows you care about the equipment and the customer. Very nice ZK. Thanks for the video. Another great video. The Iowa Farm Boy.
Those telehandlers are awesome!!! Used to work on 3420 (that machine was sold with around 13k hours and still running at another farm). Deere stopped building them in the early 2000 (i think 2006) and everyone who ever worked on one of those wish Deere will make them again.
I like all ur videos u know the ones I like the most. Nick went thru advanced diesel all A's thankful. He went to chasing fab and welding. Shared ur videos with him loved them all. I guess he's head set on John deere. He's I guessed on way to Idaho to John deere not certain why but all gd. Videos where ur family no matter what are grt like just around house or snow sledding or supper mean alot cuz tells us who u are when deere don't own u. Just sayn grt family. Side note wyotech meant alot to me and ur life there meant alot. Glad I found ur channel
I really like the way you explain things and the way you are so patient with your workers around you and you don’t treat them like second grade citizens You do a great job keep the green iron moving. Let’s hope they can keep making it in America.
Got hooked on these videos. The complexity of repair and time needed is unimaginable. Makes boats and airplanes look like small time. This ‘barn’ is unbelievable with the vast number of equipment and the guy has 3 JD 8RX - not sure what they are but they’re $614k brand new just for the tractor and this ‘farmer’ has 3 of them !
Thanks for sharing another great episode Zeth, an updated truck tour would be excellent. That telehandiler looked like a peach you have to love the green crusties in our great state of Illinois. Take care man.
Love the videos. I'm a second year John Deere heavy mechanic apprentice up in Alberta and your videos really help give me confidence diving into all the new projects I've never done. That and service advisee lol.
Another great video and I couldn’t agree more. I have had my new tractor serviced several times for warranty work and that dealership gave me back my tractor dirtier than when He got it, all three times. Since warranty has now expired I do my own service work and each fall, I take it and thoroughly clean and do maintenance on the whole unit. I do that with all my equipment. Needless to say, I no longer deal with that tractor dealership. I wished I had gone into agriculture equipment repair. I would enjoy that and if I worked with you, I think I’d have to bring the coffee and doughnuts.
Great catch on that cable & connection. Many times I've seen voltage but nearly no amperage possible in a mess like that! Great you caught it now or certainly you'd have been called out again. Sheesh intermittent problems can be a nightmare to find.
Awesome, Zeth. Thx a lot for your videos and all the effort you put in your work. How you cleaned up the old telehandler was great to see. Very honorable. And that 8RX was just gorgeous. So brand spanking new (and they look just sexy) Keep it up and take care 🙂👍
Thanks for another leather together movie Too bad I'm too old to come and work with you would have liked to have done that on that machine For all your beautiful and learn together, keep sending out explanations. Jan Houtkamp from Holland
great vid mate ,used to work on a farm ,work with cars now can sympathise with you when you where working on the telehandler .I think vehicle manufacturers go out of their way to make our life, your life difficult ,i wish i could keep my cool like you do. great vid
Besides the fact that you are a great mechanic with a heart for the business, you also like to play with those machines. Nice video and keep it up. Continue to enjoy your work and it will bring you satisfaction. 😁
Any chance you can share the ballpark costs on some of these repairs? I think it would really put into perspective what type of financial challenges farmers have to deal with to maintain these already expensive pieces of equipment.
Hey, I really enjoy your videos. I have been a field service mechanic my entire life. Wish I got introduced to AGRICULTURE, I think I would have really enjoyed working on The John Deere green.. I have been mostly around the Yellow iron..I wonder if it’s to late to make a lateral move. I’m 56. Lol…
Another amazing video Zeth, that first stop, I've not seen that much kit in one place since visiting British Army Armoured Corps main depot! Slightly different green but a lot of iron. Telehandler was a revelation because it's more in line with most of its kind over here - working service calls would involve a lot of readjustment for you - some of our farmyards are one step up from the Third World.
Thank you! That was just his “cold storage” shed. That building was just the tip of the iceberg. I would like to do a full tour of that place. It would blow everyone’s mind.
Zeth another video bang on the money as usual. Got to say although you were feeling that the telehandler was kicking your butt, you were doing what we all do and that was following that live power all the way! Just unfortunate that the gremlins decided to steal you power when you were not looking. Bugger those gremlins 🙂. Thanks as always Zeth
That is the way those giant plugs always go.. baffles….. false sense of security and then the horror movie begins. Great video. Your reaction was fantastic.
I would love to see the new Track Tool Tour. If possible, please let me know if you have any recommended tools! I would also like to see updated tools in the gearwrench toolbox!
Ever since I found this channel you never have put out put out a video that i do not like I have put in a like ever since. Thanks for sharing. 👍 is automatic. Happy subscriber 😊!
Great video Zeth! I’d actually like to see your tool layout, more specifically, that yellow Snap On box behind you..I’m assuming that’s yours. I always like to see other mechanics box layout and see what ideas they have..it’s actually where I learned to spray foam my snap on wrench trays. Those plastic trays always seem to crack, but a can of that spray foam solved that issue.
Maybe here's an idea if you want make a video about sloanes at the workshop and the office staff 🤔 and mybe ask the boss if he wants to speak about what it's like to own the business
Another great video. The Telehandlers originally were badged Matbro units built in Northern Ireland. Matbro went bust in the late nineties. Deere took over production at the Zweibrucken factory in a fairly short time considering the task at hand. They were very popular in the UK and commanded a good market share.

Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info! I always thought they must be a green JCB.
I still have my 3200 I have had since new in 2003. Only 3500 hours on her.
Correct, I still see a few old Matbros around Ireland to this day
It is just crazy that one has to replace a perfectly good plug for a 20 cent o-ring.
And a key switch, that suposely is working...
More JD bs
@@Mike-bm6cf id be a warranty thing, to replace the entire part
It is beyond stupid
It is just ripping customers off, over and over and over… JD is junk.
My vote is for just more repair videos. I like seeing and learning where certain equipment fails.
Impressive shop and line of shiny green machines. More equipment repairs, please
That seems dumb on jd they make you change the whole plug and not just the oil ring wow thanks for sharing buddy appreciate everything you do
That first shop/hanger was incredible!
Would love to see a truck tour.

That farm workshop is like a dealer showroom everything is so clean amazing.I need to Ty harder at my place
Yes that is amazing!

Yes on the updates to your service truck with those new tools. Yes, that was a nice shop. Another great video! Take care of that back.
Holy cow you could reach through that hole and rebuild the transmission. That is one heck of a big shop. I thought it was another dealers shop... You earned your pay on that telehandler.
Very thankful you were able to fix our telehandler! Keep up the good work!
Your methodical patience is wonderful. We were down in Oklahoma for Christmas 2022. My grandson wanted to put a speed shifter in his 2019 Honda Civic. I could not help him because of a bad cold.

And now you know WHY the radio was repeatedly removed. Serviceability needs to be designed in.
I always put some batterygrease on all battery poles and to all important connections to prevent corrosion, helped me a lot during my years of tampering with old cars and tractors.
A new tool truck tour would be great. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much.
i really enjoy watching you do work on tractors...
I think that cable stud would be a good place for a coating of some fluid film. My theory is if I worked on it once then either myself or someone else will have to work on it again someday. Good job 👏👏
Really enjoy watching you work on Big Green
Thanks 👍

The Iowa Farm Boy.
No matter what you work on there is always something that kick hyour but. But you keep on and figured it out. Good job ZK!
Would love to see you work on some equipment from the 80’s and 90’s. You probably don’t see too much of that era anymore.
Those telehandlers are awesome!!!
Used to work on 3420 (that machine was sold with around 13k hours and still running at another farm).
Deere stopped building them in the early 2000 (i think 2006) and everyone who ever worked on one of those wish Deere will make them again.
Starting to be hard to get parts for them already
Updated tool truck tour? Yes please!
Customer service that is a lost art. Nice to see you take pride in your work.
That's a serious farmer with the 8RX's. WOW!
Yes, a new video on your service truck and tools would be interesting. Great content!! Keep up the great work!!
I like all ur videos u know the ones I like the most. Nick went thru advanced diesel all A's thankful. He went to chasing fab and welding. Shared ur videos with him loved them all.

We'll welcome him in Idaho we always need good techs.
"Well things escalated quickly" 🤣🤣
I’m amazed at how huge the shops are up north. Loved the video.

Blues music at reasonably COOL!!!
That was funny. When all the oil came out of the big drain plug, I said Oh very loudly. I had to replay it so my wife could see what I was on about.
First, that guys shop was beautiful. Second, I spit out my coffee with your Home Alone reference after you took a bath. "What a Hole!"
🤣
Like watching you work on stuff you keep it up
Awesome Shop is a Understatement!
Holy crap. Heck yea that shop was amazing. He must like John deere you think?
i love your videos. Wish i had your talent and knowledge. Keep them coming. Thank You
Glad you like them!
Love the videos. I'm a second year John Deere heavy mechanic apprentice up in Alberta and your videos really help give me confidence diving into all the new projects I've never done. That and service advisee lol.
Glad to hear it
You make Hard Jobs look so easy. Thank You for making these videos. 👍👍👍👍
And you sound so happy!! I know you had to be working some long hours!
Another great video and I couldn’t agree more. I have had my new tractor serviced several times for warranty work and that dealership gave me back my tractor dirtier than when He got it, all three times.

The picture of the 4” plug coming off was amazing!
Awesome, Zeth. Thx a lot for your videos and all the effort you put in your work. How you cleaned up the old telehandler was great to see. Very honorable. And that 8RX was just gorgeous. So brand spanking new (and they look just sexy) Keep it up and take care 🙂👍
You can take on old SCV drain hose and put in down the fill neck to prevent the burp when filling with a fast flow pump.
Tool content would be fantastic! As an upcoming tech myself, a layout of tools or recommended ones would be super cool!
The 3400 is actually a green Matbro after john deere acquired them to give them an entry into the handling market. I haven't seen one in years tho
Cool tunes you picked 👍👍
You Do have the ears for the blues, nice way to end this video.
Thanks for another leather together movie
Too bad I'm too old to come and work with you would have liked to have done that on that machine
For all your beautiful and learn together, keep sending out explanations.
Jan Houtkamp from Holland
Great video Z! Its Alive! Classic!😅
Awesome video... Like the farm house calls....
I have enjoyed watching your videos and you patience's in diagnosing the problems you run into on all this machinery.
Oil baths and electrical problems two of my favorite things. NOT. If you ever find out what that big plug is for let us know. Another great video. 👍🏻
Always love a good toolbox tour
great vid mate ,used to work on a farm ,work with cars now can sympathise with you when you where working on the telehandler .I think vehicle manufacturers go out of their way to make our life, your life difficult ,i wish i could keep my cool like you do. great vid
Besides the fact that you are a great mechanic with a heart for the business, you also like to play with those machines.
Nice video and keep it up. Continue to enjoy your work and it will bring you satisfaction. 😁
Love the new thumbnail!
Great video, I prefer to see complex repairs .Paul South West France
That garage was amazing
Any chance you can share the ballpark costs on some of these repairs? I think it would really put into perspective what type of financial challenges farmers have to deal with to maintain these already expensive pieces of equipment.
Hey, I really enjoy your videos.
I have been a field service mechanic my entire life. Wish I got introduced to AGRICULTURE, I think I would have really enjoyed working on The John Deere green.. I have been mostly around the Yellow iron..I wonder if it’s to late to make a lateral move. I’m 56. Lol…
Go for it!
You give good customer service
new subscriber, like the service calls, very entertaining and your calm demeanor makes the vids relaxing as well. keep up the good work.
Another good one Zeth. Keep up the great work!
Classic blues for green telehandler powder ! Nice repairs.
Right on
Some of those shops are really nice, and I like your videos that they’re really nice ha ha!
Man that is a heck of a shop!!
Yes on the truck tour. Great video as always, cheers :)
Love the field service work!

Just zach blues man on john deer blues time laps
Yes Let’s see the new Gadgets!
Ever since I found this channel you never have put out put out a video that i do not like I have put in a like ever since. Thanks for sharing. 👍 is automatic. Happy subscriber 😊!
Glad you enjoy it!
And farmers complain they have no money. This ons seems to be doing something just fine!
Another great vid! Very interesting and entertaining vid! I hated working on our worn out and rusted machinery!
Whenever you say "It's ALIVE!!" You have to insert the Manic Cackle...💡
Just keep the content coming doesn’t matter if it’s tool or repair videos.
Werent those old telehandlers some rebranded matbro?
Nice video. your idea about doing videos about tools sounds very interesting and something I would enjoy . Thank you
Great video Zeth! I’d actually like to see your tool layout, more specifically, that yellow Snap On box behind you..I’m assuming that’s yours. I always like to see other mechanics box layout and see what ideas they have..it’s actually where I learned to spray foam my snap on wrench trays. Those plastic trays always seem to crack, but a can of that spray foam solved that issue.
There’s really no tools in the yellow snap on box. It’s just a really nice computer desk now. Everything is in the truck and the tool cart.
Truck tour for sure please!
Excellent as always
Great Video Zeth👍 Hello from Thomason Tractor Firebaugh Ca
A long time ago, the term "oil bath" used to refer to an air cleaner, now it has a new meaning!
That shop was so clean and full of green it looked like a JD dealership.
Perfect opportunity to look for a replacement o ring
Should be able to get the o-ring!
Yes to everything.
Maybe here's an idea if you want make a video about sloanes at the workshop and the office staff 🤔 and mybe ask the boss if he wants to speak about what it's like to own the business
