- Harvest is almost here! Some very last minute maintenance on the trucks including cleaning the hopper trailers out. And I finally finished mowing the unwanted brush in our wetland habitat with the Batwing. 4 inch trees were no problem!

It’s that time of year again, when you look out your window and get a little jolt of excitement/anxiety because the neighbors have started harvest before you
Zach, My Mom was born and raised in Grand Forks and would say "ish" I don't think I've ever heard anyone else use that word until you did. she's been gone for 13 years, Thank you for the memory : )
Mark Kopf I say “-ish” but to approximate a number.
“I’ll be home at 2-ish”
Electrical tape for scrape on the hand?! Our standard is a 7 year old roll of duct tape. You got all that fancy stuff.
I prefer super glue.
Scrape eh?
@assassinlexx My big fixer this year is i got a hand full of shards off a fiberglass pole so covered my hands in Tyvec red tape from house shielding, left it on an hour n when i pulled it off it took 99% of the glass slivers out, woop woop!!
You guys bandage yourselves?
Justin Schmitz you’re not a farmer I take it then?
I'm eating lunch and watching the millennial farmer, great combo!
Every farm needs a 'Jim', that person that's always there, an unsung hero😉
The only thing missing was Zach say, "Are you okay?" to the tree stuck in the mower.
Lmao i thought the same thing.
@@Mass_hole508 there was no saving the poor guy so I'm sure he was trying to spare our emotions
@@southjerseysound7340 Lmao
My name is Zach
His name is Zach.
Hello from Ireland we are just starting are harvest over here we’ve got our forth cut of grass done and now we are moving into harvest
Hope you have a great harvest 👍
Hey I'm from Ireland too. Farmers being very busy at silage the last few days
"Danger is my middle name" earned my thumbs up today.. lol
Zach “He cursed”
Jim: Oh (bleep)
Zach: He cursed again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I forget the brand name but the is a device made for dual tire setups that allows the driver to see the tire pressure at a glance, when pressure is within 5 pounds it shows green in the ball. On the side of it is a tire chuck so you can add air to both tires simultaneously. I've driven a truck so equipped and it made checking tire pressure a dream. Simply trying to make life easier.
That is why I like our prestige hoppers, they have steps on the inside to make the climb out much easier
I just want to thank you from Sonny Southwest Florida if you would risk yourself to get us good content three thumbs up
You may already know this but if you tie a rope to a back support with knots tied in it every foot or so makes walking the slopes a whole lot easier. Great video's and enjoy your story lines. May you have a safe and blessed harvest.
It doesn't hurt unless you can see bone!!
There is an incredible amount of "dipstick" engineers out there that have never turned a wrench, but keep making things difficult for us in the real world.
So glad I found this channel . It’s awesome 😎
Quick tip for the vacuum filter - get something like Dustopper. It's an attachment that fits over a 5-gal bucket and does a cyclone thing to trap most of the dust, dirt, hair, etc. in that bucket before it ever gets to the vacuum canister and, hence, the filter. To make the entire thing portable, you can put the vacuum and the bucket into a frame made of 2x4s and some swivel casters for under $50 and about an hour of time. There's bigger versions of this kind of thing that a lot of woodworking shops use and you can plumb an entire shop for it. But the 5-gal bucket thing makes it super-portable. There's numerous TH-cam videos about these things, it's crazy simple.
Little tip for checking truck tires. Get the pass through valve stem caps. No need to remove them to check or air up tires
Guys, he's been dying to use the "Dipstick" joke for over a month.
Great to see that Jim is in more of your videos!! Keep them coming and I hope your dad is getting better!
Zach, next time that corn builds up in those trucks, keep the floors closed, hop up in there and pull those corners down as far as you can.. And then go open the doors, shake out the loose corn, and reach up and dig out the rest. That way you aren't sliding down the sides trying to reach it. Let's just say been there, done that.. 😜
See you climbing up and down in those cargo holds remind me of my great lakes freighter days as a deck hand
Most of the grainhaulers down our way usally open the hopper doors and when they get away from the paved roads and back on the gravel roads cheaper than a vibrator to shake those remaining few grains out
The medical properties in the adhesive on electrical tape works better without paper towel. Wrap it with tape and it is good to go tomorrow. From a retired electrician
Your videos have been awesome since day 1. I just finished getting caught up from the first video to now. So much fun to watch. I enjoy every minute. Can't wait till the next video and I know harvest is just around the corner. Be safe.
@MillennialFarmer , I see you have a new sign in the driveway.
You should get the Haldex DS-1 valve stem caps for your trucks. Their an air through cap so you don’t have to take the caps off to check the air in them. Makes it a whole lot easier and faster. That’s what I run on my truck
You should be able to check the oil and water from the screen. Belive its under one called machine and calibrations. And you can add a fast key to the row of buttons on the bottom of the screen
We always applied slip plate on our grain cart and semis before harvest and after fall clean up. Seemed to help a lot!!!!
Thats why the Tire Max system on my trailers is awesome.
They make valve stem caps that are flow thru and you don’t have to remove them everytime you check pressure... I have them on my semi and love it!
if 30+ years of working with equipment has taught me one thing it's this: dipstick has been working very hard designing all sorts of stuff. The curse of people designing stuff they'll never have to use themselves.
Hope you have a great harvest with some big yields and a safe one also.
I saw you started harvest today. Good luck!
I feel your pain. All 10 of my trucks tires were about 15 psi low after the cold snap . Took a good 20 minutes to top them off using a glad hand hose and my trucks compressor.
The winged brush hog does a great job but for those trees you should rent a forestry mulcher and mount it on the front of your bobcat. That will eat those trees and you won’t have to worry about them getting hung up
I'm not a farmer, not even close. But I just love watching your videos.. I feel it gives a good picture of land farming and I love your way to go about things 👍
Our family farm was near you, I live in Alaska now, the Lowry church was a keepsake to my aunt Annie, would love to meet you on a trip back home, have family living in glenwood, sure love that wholesome Minnesota lifestyle you portray, be cool
“It’s a little warm in the area where it was trying to light a tree on fire” lmao 😂
Bonus video -
Sweet!! Good luck with harvest.
We use the cat eyes for the semi's tires. Worth there wait in gold to just walk around and know instantly if all the tires (minus) the steering are good to go.
you Need a Handheld auto digital tire inflator. Set the PSI you want plug it in to the tire it will inflate and deflate the tire to the set pressure. Saves LOTS of time
Great Vlog, cleaning that trailer was pretty challenging. well done Thanks
We just recently had to replace 2 traps on our trucks. Have fun with that it’s very fun
Zack, You hate airing tires on you trucks. NAPA and others have a air valve/gauge set up that is very handy. The end clips on the valve stem, then runs to a gauge with an air valve. Hit the trigger and then read the pressure. When you hit the desired pressure unclip the connection and move on. One step! It works on race cars also.
Zach...
This is the first video I’ve seen where the truck didn’t have a blown tire. Nice.
We were always having the same problem with our funnel body (gravity wagon)... I'm not sure if you can or want to but JD I believe still makes graphite paint..that shit is so slippery..we ended up painting underneath all our mowers..
Get tire equalizers. Theyll keep them same pressure and have a gauge on them so you can just look at them
You need some of those magnetic shoes like Kyle (RR Buildings TH-cam channel) wears while he's putting metal roofing on!!
I was listening to a podcast earlier. And when you were doing an ad for drain tile, all I could hear in my head was Forest Gump doin his ad for flex-o-lite ping pong paddle. Hahaha!! Here's to a safe harvest
Need to get the trailer clean an dry then spray it down with pledge polish will make the grain slide right out
About the vacuum filter: There is no better feeling than thinking you have to go to town to get some little part and then finding that you already have one. But there have been a lot of times for me when I have gone to get a filter or something and then got home to find that I already had one on the shelf.
I think that design is perfect because we lost dipstix when cutting tall brush if that was not there you would lose them sometimes
This why I like driving dump trailer. Door on the front and walk right in on a flat floor. Do all of my sweeping and maintenance.
I have one thing to say about that busted knuckle at 2:41. Kevlar gloves are available at Amazon for about 10 bucks.
The lesson that I learned as well, you always clean the top first because then you can stand on the old stuff in the bottom of the hopper 😁🤷🏼♂️
use a spray wax in the powerwasher it will re-slick your surface as well as protect it.
Need a shovel with a telescoping handle so you can clean the trailer from up top.
You can tell there's some trees stuck in there by the way it is.
It's the little things in life like this that make every day a joy!
A leaf blower can sure clean up a shop vac filter in a hurry, if you’re shooting for a little more use out of that one.
Learning a lot from the way you Vlog man! Trying to incorporate some techniques in my own vlogs! Great work!
I used to work in a truck was. And we would wash grain hoppers out with high pressure washer. Sounds nice, but always back sprayed right into your face.
You could try coating the trailer's interior with WD-40, for those gotta get er done times. I buy WD-40 by the gallon and use it in airless sprayers to coat the underside of lawnmower decks and it works especially good on snow blowers. Even when blowing snow snot the chute doesn't plug much, if you keep your RPM's up. Good Luck.
Deisel works much the same for cheaper
@@fowletm1992 Good idea, Thank you!
Great driveway sign.
Nice ninja like move, when dodging them tree limbs. Lol
I have a 3033r and you have to take off the side skirts to put in the oil if it’s low. Sometimes JD over engineered things.
idea for next time maybe some longer boards you can place in to have somewhat of a standing point? angle cut on the ends to theres not a hard edge denting the tanks?
Golf shoes. That’s what will work to get traction in the trailer. May be a slight trade off with patching small pin holes. 🤷♂️
The new 6R’s now come with an access panel to get at the dipstick without opening the bonnet
Zach in the trailer... Monkey f'n a football comes to mind. And Jim is agile for an old ... er young buck
Should buy the cats eyes tire pressure gage, it screws in both tires and let's you know if there in proper ranges
Need some tordon to put into hose trucks after you mow them down. Won’t have to worry about them coming back again
Farmers have the coolest toys!!!
Maybe buy a New hood because the New John Deere 6 cilinders had a New dipstick cover from the 6175R. Ask your JD dealer ship
At least there is a dip stick . Some cars are being made now without a dip stick and the owner is suppose to just depend and trust a sensor. The person can not see the oil or smell it just do what the computer tells them to do if the computer is working
5:08 Have you considered a tire pressure system like Cat's Eye or Crossfire? I see other TH-cam farmers are using them, and I'm considering a system myself after a blowout this year. It's tough to stay on top of 54 tires!
You should get a Blue Diamond 72" open front bushhog from Blue Diamond Attachments.
Amazing! I clean a hopper trailer EXACTLY the same way a famous TH-cam star does!!
Nice to see some new videos rolling out 👍
Up here in east central Alberta we have ladders in our trailers, inside and outside!
On the semi truck tires just a suggestion want you get on Amazon on look up flow through valve stem caps
Wanted, New actor for the role of the millennial farmer... the current one mentioned a fault on a John Deere.... Might as well paint it red now! Lol Dipstick had me rolling!!
I love the work relation you guys have on the farm, and of course, it wouldn't have been a proper farm without a squeaky water hose tap!
Arnold1987 Now that is funny!!!
Thank you for making my lunchtime more enjoyable. :)
Pretty fancy vest.🤪
I install tarps out here in Montana for a living. I’ll come help change that tarp if I can get to see some corn harvest in exchange!
It’s my lunch brake while elearning from home and I was watching him plant soybeans last spring and now I’m watching this one lol!
Same here LOL I started my own TH-cam channel by the way👌
Got off of that for 2 hours and went to go mess around in the yard and ended up watching this.
I didn't know there was a brake called lunch - who makes it?
Ross no I have lunch but I stay home so I have a brake to eat lunch and don’t have a class and then we have study hall so I don’t do anything for that either except watch this
I prefer the blue shop towels and electrical tape for my bandaids .
I know your pain in airing up semi tires, you can get Alligator Air Caps on Amazon...they are air through Dot approved valve stem caps...you will thank me 👍👍👍
Very nice video, thank you.
Love your videos all the way from Australia
Awesome video thanks for sharing 👍
the reason you have to lift the hood on the r series is so you check the coolant level too .but i must say the us built tractors have an access panal they must not loose coolant lol
You clean the inside of trailer very good
"Rule of Thumb" with rotary mowers: halve the claimed cutting diameter. For instance: your 4" batwing
mower hung on 2" trees. But good on ya! I'm enjoying your videos.
"Armchair farming" sure is easier than the real thing!
Zach: For crying out loud, buy a tire gauge that measures as it fills. So you only have to connect to the tire once.
The best study break is some farming videos!
My rule was if the tractor can push it over, the bush hog will eat it. I don't recall it ever not being so. And I did a LOT of this. Chomp on without fear.
Laughed at the filter for the vac.....I blew mine out and used the beating against the garbage can method for 10 years.lol
Passed by your area today on vacation, gotta see Zigler Equipment dealership today. You live in a beautiful area
I fear for the back window in your tractor, with that mower.
