Something I’ve learned from an oil expert years ago was, after washing your equipment, grease every single fitting on the machine, the grease will push out any water that might have gotten into the bearings etc. therefore reducing the possibility of rust forming in the bearings.
I think his issue is the pressure washer forces/sneaks water past the seal on the closed bearing and then -30c comes along and the bearing seals blow out.
I’m sure that is the concern, as with sealed bearings grading them isn’t an option. I was simply sharing a tip I learned from someone smarter than myself.
Your Dad's look at you when he said "trying to figure out the hoses" was priceless. At that moment he was making up a reason... "gotta get gloves" (while smirking, almost laughing) to escape. Hilarious Father/Son interaction, as well as a veteran move by your elder as he was most likely taking recent surgery into consideration. Easy to pick out when you have a Dad that pulls the same stuff, AND YES, it'll be passed down.🤣
Anxious for your next video. When are they going to start your new building without the transparent walls ? Waiting as patiently as possible. *grin*. Probably won’t start till next week now that I think about it seeing with Thanksgiving and all. Have a great turkey day !
I just feel like as a diesel tech I need to educate. The more you idle equipment, the more it will need to regen (or burnout). If a unit is working it will make enough heat to regen passively while you're working. So reducing idle time reduces stationary regens. Also regens have little to do with the def system. Regens burn off soot that has collected in the particulate filter. Def is injected after the dpf system to reduce nox emissions
There once was a "mechanic" said never wash the combine. One day he had to change a bearing and had to torch it out. Ok, torch. Some oil down the side of the combine caught fire and burned the combine and the shed. The moral of the story is if you are going to torch a bearing it would be a good idea to wash the area first.
Hoses need some coding. Two blue hoses - one wrap of tape around one, two wraps of tape around the other. Back of tractor hose plate - one dot paint for one wrap hose. Two dots paint for two wrap hose. Continue coding the other hoses and tractors and implements.
Hi thanks for all the hard work you do both on TH-cam and farming whit ute you alot of people wouldn't know anything about farming i hope you have a great rest of the week
Wait so the DEF system makes you run the engine an extra 10 minutes longer to cool it down, meaning you spend an extra 10 minutes burning more fossil fuels. If thats how I'm understanding it that doesn't very efficient to me.
MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT) - Rescue crews are responding to a grain bin accident. Osceola Fire Chief Peter Hill said the incident happened around 9 a.m. on Highway 140 in Etowah. One person apparently fell into the bin and is unable to get out. Crews from surrounding communities, including Kaiser, are responding to the scene.
It wants you to keep it running for 10 mins to allow the exhaust components to cool down since it was doing a regen burn, which gets it very hot. If you turn it off when hot it could damage components
@@agger838 Don’t try an out smart the Govm’t smarties. They know what’s good for the environment, not you. Leaving a 30 gallon per hour piece of equipment run, not doing anything may make sense to many that don’t have to pay for diesel fuel.
Liberal logic at it's finest. Kind of like outlawing guns to law abiding citizens. Criminals don't care about the gun laws that's why they are criminals.
@@carlwood1432 that's a complete different topic. Like you need a bit of warm up befor going to full power, turning of a burning hot engine will cause damage. Even had a car that reduced power when cold and warning when turning off hot...a friend killed two turbo chargers through hot shut downs. But in this case keeping the machine running 15 min in idle burning 8 gallons of fuel for def system cleaning is really environment friendly. Had the system disabled on our forklifts, 4 hour of operation needed 30 min exhaust burn out where you couldn't used it...happened two times a day
Even if it got demonetized I would love to watch a raw video of you working on stuff that gives you a fit, and just to hear what cuss words you say and watch the raw and uncut Zach at work.… just once!
we start to clean the legs dryers and all the equipment as soon as we get done with harvest then we start field work when we’re finished, its to easy to keep pushing it off, and the sooner we do it usually the nicer the weather is
Something you can do with your grain leg is fill the bottom with sand. The buckets will scoop the right shape out of the sand. The corn will get picked up off the surface of the sand and the small amount that gets picked up wont impact the grain. But it stops you from getting a big amount of rotten grain in the bottom.
I'm checking out your video now I just got home mow the lawn and now I'm sitting here relaxing watching the clouds roll in and how are you and your family doing much love from California
You could probably get an old Ford backhoe that can handle bigger rocks off big iron for a couple thousand more. A neighbor had several rocks dad buried for him because the backhoe could only tip them over. I Drug one out of a hole once, couldn't get hold of it except to pull it in and pin it against the boom. Skidded the bucket across the ground with the front wheels in the air.
Zach, I know you do a great job on the grain bin Rescue stuff, just got an alert and crews are heading to another Grain Bin Rescue! Every year we see them!
The Combine is probably trying to warm itself up cause it's cold out to do a Regen, when it's cold u have to click up throttle 2 clicks so it warms up enough to regen. Else it'll finally say regen failed
That fun time of cleaning out the dryer and the boots on the leg, been there done that. Just part of the good life. Hopefully the shed will be rising soon.
I am a new subscriber to your channel and i have to say, i am hooked ! I had no idea how sophisticated today's tractors are. Always been a John Deere fan. I am a retired golf course supt.bought many John Deere
I have worn out a couple of tractor backhoe attachments in crawfish fields here in Louisiana. They get used most of the year for everything from plastic overflows, pipes, broken levies and to cut levies and open drains.
Zack is going to buy a full-size backhoe next year once he learns to use the one he has. That is what happens to every farmer. "If I just had gotten the next size up, I could...."
@Clay White if he buys a regular industrial hoe he needs to be aware that the controls on the tractor backhoe are exactly the opposite of Osha industrial backhoes. I went from 16 years of farm work to building highways and had to unlearn and relearn the controls in the Osha set-up. But it's doable once your brain flips the lever placement.
How many millions of dollars is there just in tractors, implements, skid steer, UTV, semi’s? Then there are buildings, grain bins,,dryers etc, then land owned and rented. Oh boy. When my parents sold the 360 acre dairy farm 5 miles north of Grand Meadow Minnesota in 1981 it sold for $1,800,000. Sadly they sold it to a dishonest guy who defaulted on the contract for deed in 1985. My parents finally went after him in 1986 and got it back in 1987. They sold it a month later leaving not much money for my parents to split after paying the lawyer.
I could be wrong but the reason your tractor could be going through regens a lot is you need to have your exhaust system cleaned. it might not be a faulty sensor you just might have an ash build up in the exhaust system from when the soot gets burnt up it turns into Ash.
Our JD 8370RT transmission will not calibrate so the sucker will not move. Just shipped it back to the dealership today. Great tractors but these IVT transmissions seem to be having problems.
Love watching Zach have a solid harvest year. I root so hard for his family farm that after the bad wet soaking season to get an "average" harvest seems like a win. All the best Zach
Zach on your s780 it may say that it doesn't need to have a parked regen done but it does. It may or may not be grayed out on the engine page, if it is you'll have to have a technician come out and force a service regen. Seen it multiple times and the service regen seems to fix it.
I was toying with the idea of a TH-cam channel and posted some vids of my timber and pasture improvement work. One day I was running my HD brush cutter on my CTL and in the middle of a field it decided it had to do a DPF burn. I posted my irritated rant -minus the cussing - but lots of commentary on the idiocy of burning fuel and generating unnecessary CO2 to convert soot, which is carbon that is NOTin the form of CO2, into more CO2. It got me in trouble with the youtube censors and I just gave up. I feel your pain even if you dare not talk about it.
With the pressure washing you really got to watch what they are using for detergent? If it's citrus based, it can strip the clear coat right off and you end up with a real flat color (like flat black or green). We used a product at work called red devil which was amazing, you used a foam adapter on the washer nozzle and when the foam hit grease you could watch the grease fall off in front of you! The unfortunate problem was not only the grease was gone but so was the clear coat! No more shine.
Nagyon jok a filmek egy gazda hétköznapjait osztja meg és a felmerülö problémák megoldását szivesen lennék a tanuloja vagy dolgozoja jo fej fönöknek tünik
Pardon my ignorance but what part of the grain dryer equipment was the rotten grains from at around minute 14? We only run a single bin here - hence my silly question lol
That's still pretty impressive for that backhoe digging that rock out of the field. For the size that it was. That's what she said. LOL. See you in the next video

another idea, spray wd 40 on bearing to draw out moisture, we do that on our sled suspension wheels it helps a little
@@oldslow3694 that dosent work with sealed bearings
@@ourcountryadventures good to know thanks, it's been a while since i had sled suspensions apart
Not the Sarah Palin palm notes! 🤣🤣🤣
As you were shoveling out the nasty grain, it occurred to me, you get all the good jobs. Great video Zach & Becky!

Seems like it's been the year of the sensor, between the planter and now the combine haha. Excited to see that new shed get done soon!
"Shane! Shane! Come Back Shane..." That was what I was thinking watching the truck pull away. 😅Old movie reference... "Shane."
Happy early Thanksgiving to the Johnson family, thanks for what you do to enlighten us in the farm life and what you do to feed the world.
Thank you and Same to you!

Man you can't even tell your dad had a knee surgery just a couple months ago. He gets around really good
Love your dad. He's an amazing man. Your so fortunate to have a good man like him for a father.
Love watching the interactions between you and you Dad.
Could you do another Q&A before he leaves to go south.
Zach, you have to find a way to get smell-o-vision working for fermented grain. It's an aroma that if smelled one time, you never forget.
was eating a burger when that poped up. would have choked to death with smell-o-vision
If Zach and other farmers got smell-o-vision they would have to post warnings "not to eat while watching"🤣
I find it interesting, but not surprising, that the smell of rotting grain is very similar to the aroma of grain once it’s digested by animals 💩
My personal favorite is soybeans

I wanted to say Thank You for the grant the City of Russell Ks Fire department received for the grain collapse equipment!!
FAMILY is what matters!
During your sponsor bit, when you said "its like walking on a bed of puppies " made me laugh out loud. And my dogs looked at me like i was crazy haha.
I greased all bearings after any power washing.
"It's like walking on a bed of puppies!" lol! Doesn't get any softer than that!!!

Big enough to drag up to yard n get name in it!!! Just a thought😁 keep up the great content
Well if your combine just run on batteries, you wouldn't have to worry about.......
I can't even finish that statement.
Seen the new Shed on Instagram... I didn’t realize how big it was gonna be. Wow you definitely will be able to park everything inside now.

I'm generally pretty easy going, but I do get frustrated when stuff breaks constantly!
Zack you said you were short on helpers. Cat dog is the pressure water inspector.
Keeping busy on the farm never stops ✋️ great watching
Hi Zach, I have a great respect for the amount of preventive maintenance that you do. It shows as much work in the field as off. Thanks for the video!

Be nice to get the shed done
Keep up the good work. I mean the work you don't do at planting or harvesting. These are the things that keep you going when things get hard.
That fun time of cleaning out the dryer and the boots on the leg, been there done that. Just part of the good life. Hopefully the shed will be rising soon.
I sorry that state can't vote correctly. : ( My state (WA) can't either, luckily I don't farm. Thank you for making it all work though!!!

Hey Zach, try a spill of 2-Stroke-Oil per 10 Gallons Diesel in case of Engine Issues. It won't do any harm and only costs a few Dimes to try out.
That’s a 2 person backhoe 😢really,but it is handy. No fun at all letting someone else POWER WASH ZACK come on😮😮. Thanks much!
I really appreciate the sense of humor 😂, Zach, and your wife does an excellent job with the editing so it shines!

DANG! You know your big time when you have a damn robot to sipe your race car tires...... damn it. I want one lol Carry on.....
Maybe if you get some colored ribbon you could put a different color ribbon on each hose and have it written down in your phone where each color goes
