Should have been designed that way when the center fill planters first came out. There's been research done showing that the 6 center rows average 7 bu/acre less due to compaction. Now they need a sensor on the center lift cylinders so it could automatically adjust the down pressure on the wings as the center gets lighter.
Dougo, as a blue eyed, freckled ginger haired kid, I always have skin cancers taken off, about 2 to 3 times a year, so I can relate. When I was a kid, the closest thing we had to sunscreen was playing in the mud! I like that you are using the old wood. My dad and I built his garage back in 1974, and we only bought 3 new pieces of lumber. The rest we re-purposed from a barn that we tore down. Blessings to all from Ohio!
@@JohnnyMichigan313 there are several different kinds of skin cancer. I have had both basal’- cell and squamous-cell which are both treatable, melanoma can be deadly.
Your dad looks pretty good.. I got a skin cancer diagnosis a few weeks back , luckily it was Basil. They told me they were shocked I had it at my age... I'm 57. I had the biopsy and have to get carved on in a couple weeks.. Its small, but don't think I like the idea of stiches on my pretty boy face. Looking good, Doug
I'm glad to see you are looking after the skin cancer. I wish we all had a better understanding, when we were younger, of what damage the sun can do to unprotected skin. The planter "upgrade" makes total sense. You certainly have a super shop in which to do that work. I love the upgrade on the truck lighting. It sure looks like LED is the solution to making things bright.
I feel for Dougo! I have had skin cancer surgery on both ears which was squamous cell where they had to take the top of one of my ears off. I have also had melanoma surgery on my forehead and numerous other skin cancers taken off different parts of my body with that darn freezing gun. I am now a believer in broad brim hats and sunscreen. And, yes getting old is not for the faint of heart!
Should have a couple 3/16 steel plates to slide over the pit when you got a piece bridging it so nobody breaks there neck by accident. Easy to move around with yalls forklift.
Thanks for another great video. Most interesting. Dougo your wood project is coming along good. Know it takes time but your finished product is just great looking. Doing great. I trust you are doing with the skin cancer issue. Kind of a tough process but it works. Hang in there Dougo. Love the hoodie you had on. The leveler system you put on the planter is a great addition. Very very nice. The company and the employees that came did outstanding work. Their welding is great and wonderful beads. Took a while to go but good work by them and great addition to the planter operation. Thanks for showing the system to us Chet. Good job on the truck lights Brody. Really light the place up when on. Will work great for getting in and out of fields. Nice work. Good to see Toby and Ray. Good dogs. Like the boots you got Brody. Chet, you are very kind hearted. Looks like he could use them. Very nice thing to do Chet. Shows who you are. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Can’t wait. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Y'all need take us visit Mrs. Larson in the the office more!! Well ever. She's so sweet. Dougo have comp if I worked there. How Big is the Big sweed? My bf dad was known as big sweed. 6'8" 300lbs monster of a man.
Erik and Brody , look at the bright side of your Illuminating tool tray. As soon as you start to open that drawer the whole inside of that tray will be illuminated so you can find whatever you need without completely opening it all the way. With those LEDs you have in the ceiling it'll probably illuminate the drawer above and below it also LOL.
We tore down an old barn and used all that wood to change two drive through hay mows into dairy cow stalls to increase our milking stall area by 40 more cows back in the 70's I'm brother and I worked for "days" removing nails. It was a cheap expansion that lasted 25 years. Doug might know what I mean by drive through mows. If not your grandfather for sure does.
Chet Eric and Dougo and broodie great jobseeder up date greatit is moving on up to big time done in 2 days that is great Eric and Broodie great job on the lights thank you for sharing and your time.
Thanks allot for bringing up the old yellow fiberglass seed boxes (we had the dry fertilizer bins as well) itching, Duggo, phantom arm itch has set in. Fond memories? Not so much. We planted 30" rows of sweetcorn, no seed monitors, all hand picked, around 250 acres usually. You could tell the kids who had math skills once they figured out they were in a field that had a faulty seed box, nobody wants a row to disappear when your picking along dragging a gunny sack between your legs on a picking belt. On those days it was a race to the end of the field to choose your next two rows. Well now I'm having phantom corn leaf cut pains on my arms...not thinking about eyes..nope no no no no no. I'll just think about the half the night shakes from running the John Deere 820, and how quiet it is at night now when I take my hearing aids out......that's better. Move along bus, move along.
Talking about Gpa's thoughts my GPA back in the 70's would drive the 4400JD combine during harvest and I was hauling loads to the elevator with a 4020 diesel pulling a double door parker wagon and a 350 bushel wagon behind the double door parker and if I got back before he started filling the one set he would motion me over and always wanted to dump on the go even on the back wagon,that was the only way he would combine and he was in his 80's,he would have a ball with the big combines and grain cart that are out there now.
On that Peterbilt I would probably mount those light bars behind the bumper and grille but so the lights could shine thru the opening in-between the bumper and grille!
I was so glad you got the barrel clamp/tipper for the oil containers, I suggested that last month. Now- how about some simple, stackable safety covers for the oil change pit? Could be a welding job with square tube and diamond mesh, or it could be 2x4's and plywood. Either method would allow stacking the covers to the side while the pit is in use. Don't build anything dog or human feet can go through!
Im not an expert when it comes to working with wood. But depending on are bad the warps are he'd probably have probably out a good bit of material before it gets nice and straight.
I get mine froze off all the time dougo. Now I had something removed from my leg n said I have some there after the biopsy. Now I get to do a new thing he's going to burn n scrape it.sounds fun for the old guys a.
Love your channel the videos are great. Please keep it up. I know farming can be a lot of hard work and it never ends, the maintenance that is. Love to see Brody your new employee
Question Will the weight distribution system lift enough weight this time so you can replace the wheel when it breaks again Those of you that know well you know it will.
You need to visit Ireland. All their trucks have led lights bars across their cabs. Keep on those skin cancers Douggo. Brody a little duct tape and those work boots are good for another 100,000 miles.
I liked this one just because Swede had the Rusty Duck sweatshirt on again. Finally. :-) Hope things dry out for you guys soon. Looks like Zach has mud all over, but it could be worse. You could live in Minot and have 4 feet of white. Looking forward to the planters rolling again. Ray from Dawson
Sorry but double J headlights have always sucked. I've put many of them on new trucks and are a pain to adjust. Change them to 359 style headlights that fit JJ brackets (2 headlight pod)
Dougo May God heal your skin cancer. My dad was a fair skin blue eyed man. My mom and dad were fortunate enough to have have a beach home in Lewes De. They baked in the sun down on the beach and at home here. He had several bouts of skin cancer. He developed brain cancer and had surgery.. The dad I knew and loved died the day of his surgery. He was a completely different man after surgery.. he died of asbestosis.. he was a jet archer and the very protective breathing apparatus he wore had asbestosis in it. It was a horrible way to go. My daddy lost his sight due to macular degeneration. He learned to late to put on sunscreen and sun glasses. Chet and Eric please use sunscreen and sunglasses at all times in the sun. I got some of my worst sunburns on cloudy overcast days on the beach. We were there alot during the summer. Hey it was a rough life. Lol. Jk we enjoyed it and still do but now we are smart about the sun. Even when in the backyard pool we have sunglasses on. Stay safe guys.
I forgot to mention Amy Larson has a great post on her channel today about unanswered prayers 🙏 ❤
Still the very best TH-cam farming channel😊
This may be the best modification of a planter for consistency that I've ever seen!!!!!

@@lynwessel2471 you're 100% correct with your entire comment!
Old wood is like old guys Dougo they both have character 👍
I understand Dougo, I’m 67 and this getting old I’d definitely for the birds, it really sucks, I feel for you, chin up, it don’t get any better, lol
Love seeing Dougo on the show 😁
Never can have too many led lights ! Love it. 💪👍🏼

Skin cancer: aka Melanoma right?
@@JohnnyMichigan313 there are several different kinds of skin cancer. I have had both basal’- cell and squamous-cell which are both treatable, melanoma can be deadly.
Those weld beads look like a machine did it. He's good.
Try a pulse spray welder makes it easy to look nice.
Just listening to you guys talk there is so much to learn, thank goodness & thank you for family farming.
Millet runs like water.....Dougo keeps up the great content.
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put for sharing.
love the video chet.dougo get that bad stuff taken care of. love the lights on the truck. tobby stay away from the nails.
Hope the wing pressure system helps get a more even crop seeding. I guess it's fair to make a Star Wars reference, "May the force be with you"...
I liked the sound of that mad bee. You make me laugh ched 😆
Enjoyed the show
Keeping it real is enjoyable to watch how you all work together.
And..... the struggle bus continues it's usual highjinks.
Nice vid Chet.
Buying Brody boots was really nice. He seemed really happy!
That was great, when the welding began. A+ on that editing
Perfect can always be improved

Still find your videos enjoyable and informative. Keep up the good video recording!
That did sound like an angry bumblebee, awesome 👌 👏 👍
Dougo, please start wearing a brimmed hat like a cowboy hat helps big time with the skin cancer! Plus you will look cool!🤠
Nice lights,
The Tobster and Ray get Front row today :) :) :) :)
Can't wait to see some Field work good video good to see y'all again

Thanks Chet & Dougo, ya'll make my day.👍 See-ya in the next one. Old Hickory, Tn. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
By the way, early wheat here is 6 to 8 inches. Thanks for all

Take care of your employees and they’ll take care of you, getting a new pair of boots can make all the difference
Nice video!! 👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾🤙👍

Yea Dougo I have those burn marks a few times a year. The wood work is always worth the hard work you put into it
I agree with Dougo, it should just come that way.
Very great video for the farm again
That is a good looking bead
Thanks for another great video. Most interesting.

What a great video to come and get some laughs!😂 Cant wait till the next one baby
P.S. I love all your projects Dougo, they inspire me

Might want to get some covers for that pit which can be quickly removed when the pit is in use.
For headlights. J.W. SPEAKER. They're the best you can buy. They have heated and non heated.

They do work good grate for backing

I think the best part of being a farmer is wearing brand new shirts every day.
When he was welding on top that is spray welding it’s a very strong weld and a lot of equipment is welded like that
Love the train horn I just installed one on my pontoon boat
Lights are awesome. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you.
The farm equipment you use is just amazing. I would love to hear what your grandpa’s take on the new technology is. 😊
He never want to say anything
Talking about Gpa's thoughts my GPA back in the 70's would drive the 4400JD combine during harvest and I was hauling loads to the elevator with a 4020 diesel pulling a double door parker wagon and a 350 bushel wagon behind the double door parker and if I got back before he started filling the one set he would motion me over and always wanted to dump on the go even on the back wagon,that was the only way he would combine and he was in his 80's,he would have a ball with the big combines and grain cart that are out there now.
I get skin frozen too Doug. The price of too much sun and gettin'old. 💪💪
Doug is my fav!
On that Peterbilt I would probably mount those light bars behind the bumper and grille but so the lights could shine thru the opening in-between the bumper and grille!
That horn blast, scared my flock of chicks, across the room!.
To clarify, they are in a box on the wall opposite the computer.
You can put ditch lights on your trailers to just mount them ahead of the back hopper
2:42 as long as they're mounted below ur headlights, yous should be OK for use on the road!
Railroad engines have a similar setup...called ditch lights
Great video 👍 👍
Like your video's, thanks.
For LED lights, you need to change the whole light. Because they need different lenses.
I think the big swead was a little intimidated 🤣
Swede, not swead.
I was pretty sure I didn't spell it that right 🤣
Great video Chet 🇺🇲
try putting weights on the board after washing to minimize warping Dougo.
Another great video and Glad that Dougo is doing well!! 🚜
👍 looks Good Fellows / it just dang weather is big story everywhere/ it likey a late this year Harvest season
Thank you Chet
And I was going to ask Dougo to build me a table out of rustic wood! Lol
I was so glad you got the barrel clamp/tipper for the oil containers, I suggested that last month. Now- how about some simple, stackable safety covers for the oil change pit? Could be a welding job with square tube and diamond mesh, or it could be 2x4's and plywood. Either method would allow stacking the covers to the side while the pit is in use. Don't build anything dog or human feet can go through!
Looks like a pretty nice system! Built heavy 💪
Dougo, could you run that wood through a planer. It would mostly clean up and take warps out.
Im not an expert when it comes to working with wood. But depending on are bad the warps are he'd probably have probably out a good bit of material before it gets nice and straight.
Planer blades cost way more than new wood if you hit a nail. Just kirf it and move on
I would have left the tracks on they work good in the mud to , at least tell the spring wet season was over
Looks like he was running dual shield wire, nice welds.
ALWAYS INTERESTING
Great video thanks again
Now with Brody, it's the 3 Amigos in the shop
very nice video
Did Dougo get his deck done at his house? Nice planter now!
I get mine froze off all the time dougo. Now I had something removed from my leg n said I have some there after the biopsy. Now I get to do a new thing he's going to burn n scrape it.sounds fun for the old guys a.
Love your channel the videos are great. Please keep it up. I know farming can be a lot of hard work and it never ends, the maintenance that is. Love to see Brody your new employee

Is it possible to give a ball park figure on what that update would cost to have them do?
Big swede, I've had the seals on the vacuum go out on a jd 7200 yes it does make a mess 🤬
I liked this one just because Swede had the Rusty Duck sweatshirt on again. Finally. :-)
Hope things dry out for you guys soon. Looks like Zach has mud all over, but it could be worse. You could live in Minot and have 4 feet of white. Looking forward to the planters rolling again.
Ray from Dawson
or souris and turtle hills.nd
@@marm842 Maybe they got it worse, but nobody's ever heard of them. I'm not native ND, but I've still heard of most towns. Not those.
Great videos keep it up 👍
now you need to convince Zach to get it on this planters
Ah, the educational comedy show!
Sorry but double J headlights have always sucked. I've put many of them on new trucks and are a pain to adjust. Change them to 359 style headlights that fit JJ brackets (2 headlight pod)
5:04-5:10. Pretty awesome editing….lol. Two Brodie’s for the price of one. 😉
Dougo I feel your pain. Have you every done the Blue light treatment for skin cancer?? Not fun but it does last for a couple of years in my case.
Dougo May God heal your skin cancer. My dad was a fair skin blue eyed man. My mom and dad were fortunate enough to have have a beach home in Lewes De.

The only way we know if the welding is good, is with an actual bend test… we’ll leave that to planting season.
So technically you added a gull wing? We had an orthman stacker bar and put them on ours. Much smaller cylinder but same effect
Great content man👍👍👍👍👍👍
