I know you can't show us but I'm sure there's a ton of discussion and designing going on. I just want to say the ingenuity you show all the time is phenomenal. Great job!
That was absolutely amazing how you guys created that unit. 👏 👏 👏 It looks so professional. During the winter you guys could make those kind of things for other farmers and make some additional money. Leg Iron should put some neosporine on that cut and please keep some bandages in the shop. That could easily get infected! Great job!!
The US has a massive skills gap, most tradesmen (welders, carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, electricians etc)are reaching retirement age. But, farmers have all the skills in the gap. It’s amazing to watch.
I love how Nick is cleaning up all the scrap metal and throwing it away because “we will never use it” as leg arm walks over and grabs two pipes from the scrap bin.
From a farmer running 1200 acres of beans .corn.wheat. Your operation just amazes me. As do alot of the farming channels. I couldn't imagine having your operation and I'm not sure if Id want it. !! You. Larson. Welker. Just unbelievable
Glad to see our Canaidan neighbor Faith Hope Farms logo on your fridge when you were talking about simplisafe. Mike Mitchell is one of our neighbors! Glenn Honey of Honeybee Manufacturing is close by as well
Hey Bob, I got to say you need to get a father of the year award! You have raised two amazing young men who not only work together well but are creative, and a blessing to your name. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos and I feel like I almost know you guys because of everything that I watched over the last two years. You continue to amaze me and I'm sure others and how your family stays together and works together plays together and serves God together. Blessings!
Great idea on the auger end gate! To make it even easier, close it and put a mark on the pipe that moves. Then put marks every inch and numbers, so that when you get it set how you want it'll be easy to come back to that setting if you need to change it.
After many years of watching this channel, I have finally figured out the "role" that these three play to make this business run smoothly ... Bob (Dad) Master Farmer Scott (Legarms) Master Fabricator Nick (Hollywood) Master Shop Cleaner Keep Doing What You Are Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Keeping America Feed
Always love to see what farmers build. Re-using old parts - making what they need out of old parts. Like I've said before - brings back my childhood with grandpa on the farm. Nothing got wasted - plus he knew where it was. Out of hundreds of 'scrap parts'. He would remember where it was. Ok within a couple feet some times. 🙂 Thank you - hope the family and you are doing great. Cannot wait for it to be spring again. Take care and God Bless.
Yall keep up the great work on yall's fabrication an rebuilds you're doing an exhalent job on it. Hope your family has a Great An Plentifull Crop this Season. Much Respect
After watching this, I really feel that schools should use these videos to demonstrate as to what is taught in maths, science and metalwork classes is how all that theory and those pesky calculations are applied in the real world. Absolutely fantastic ingenuity, creativity and attention to detail. It is a joy watching your skills put to work but also how you all work as a cohesive team.
We don't get a lot of huge tractors around here we are in the northeast corner of Oklahoma in the foot hills sonics mostly cattle or small fields but 2 days ago I was driving through town and went passed a big old case 4 track from back when the hood was square and they had the strip down the side it was 1 of the 9000 group but it made me think of you guys
Its clear that you guys work on your own equipment and fabricate when you need to, even when its a daunting project. But this ain't fabrication, this is engineering.
6:28 My wife is a professional organizer and she does exactly what you're doing. She says what a lot of shops do is get into the mentality of they need to save everything for the "just in case" situation. Which is fine but try not to have a metal yard in your shop. Instead keep enough to save some cost but not enough so you're overwhelmed with scrap. Space is expensive. That scrap isn't. Food for thought.
Have found that it is sometimes hard to get rid of the bits and pieces of specialty metals (stainless steel, certain shapes) that are hard to come by. You tend to want to keep them no matter what the size/shape.
I have found you need a place to put it and a way to organize it. If you cannot find it when you need it, you are just going to end up buying a new one when you can't find the one you saved.
you know poor old bob doesn't have a lot to do, just stands around while you high tech guys work your magic but i do love his attitude of "just going with the flow"! way to go you guys!
Love watching you guys create solutions to farming problems. You remind me of my first supervisor after high school in 1970. He could take well casing and make air tanks for portable air compressors. We did this for automotive work, tractor tire changing, cotton gins. He amazed me with his skill with an old lincoln arc welder and a small shop lathe. I am glad to see people still using their heads. Keep it up.
Bob, Nick ,Scot , great work on the cleaner project for the peas, cant wait to see the finished project,it looks good so far, you cant beat the scrap metal yard, a Farmers best friend,Cheers & Best Wishes, Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
I really think it's great that you two brothers show a united front in what yall do. Being brothers, I'm sure that there are disagreements (my brother and I fought like cats and dogs until we were in our 40s), and running a business is tough when family dynamics come into play....but your skills and abilities compliment each other. Unless, of course, your dad has a very large stick.....
Very interesting. The cardboard prototype was a really nice idea. Thanks for taking the time - it must really.slow things down - to.get the footage to show us the process. And, so Nick doesn't feel neglected - nice Jobe getting things cleaned amd organized! Way to "go with the flow" Mr. Welker. Peace!
This is crazy because my dad and I also built this same thing to try and separate wild oats from wheat! Ours was built out of plywood but lined the inside with tin to use magnets to hold up dividers, adjusting them like you also are. We also used a furnace fan! Looks a lot better built out of metal! Great work guys!🤙🏽
old squirrel cage blowers have 100's of uses.... i keep a few around just for random creations... ( furnace installer, so i have plenty of old victims to scavenge from)
I'm not jealous of your "squeaky snow" here in SD, lol. Been mild here, lots of 40 degree days, but we're missing the moisture. Your development of your cleaner reminds me working for my grandfather growing up 25 years ago. We'd build lots of different stuff. Interesting vid.
Being a graduate of the Rube Goldberg school of engineering, may I offer a few tips. More belts and cranks, some neon lights, and whistles! For the crowning touch, florescent paint!
Thanks for another great video. This video was so interesting and really kept ones attention for sure. Love your project. The card board cad design that Bob built was wonderful. Great going Bob. Gives you all an idea of where you are going with it. Neat. I must admit I see the basic design thought but do not have the big picture yet. Am sure it will come. Thru all of you working hard on this pea cleaning setup you are saving some big dollars I am sure. Once again, I am absolutely amazed at the skills you all have in design and building items on the farm. Scott, you make welding and putting things together look so easy and I know it is not. Great skill set Scott or leg arms. My compliments to all of you for your amazing skill set at building equipment needed on the farm. The Welker family is the best!!! Proud to know all of you. You enrich my life by watching your channel. Heartfelt thanks always!!!!!!!!! Will be anxious to see the finished product here and viewing the overall operation. This piece of equipment will be an asset to the farm operation. Great!!!’ About it for now. I will be quiet and let you all get back to work. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Welkers!! The Iowa farm boy.
Thank you, that was a great video. Looking forward to seeing it running. Who knows your kids may start a seed cleaning service someday. Nice work. Take care and God bless.
One way to avoid the use of Gorilla Tape is the use of PPE. Specifically - gloves. I've been in the metal fab world for about 40 years and you guys are fantastic! If you check the used market I'm sure you will find a break press and a shear at a reasonable price and make your fabrication life much easier.
Try an "air knife" design, keep the existing fan entrance, choke it down to a slit with a flap. The large area behind the slit will equalize the air flow without vanes. Just restrict the flow with the size of the slit until you just create a restriction, the back pressure might even improve fan efficiency. Even though it is not fed with an air compressor, when set as a slight flow restriction, the flow velocity should increase potentially allowing larger product flow rates.
Leg Arms, you may want a additional shaft with rotating spikes to help disperse any pods, you feeder gate could plug quite often without it, or there’s another thing that could be done. Too long to type out. T
Oh my....the background music in the first part of the video ...i thought geto boys was gonna start spittin out "d@mn it feels good to be a gangster" from the movie office space......and rightfully appropriate as your fabricating skills are pretty gangsta..... You guys are awesome...super glad everyone is feeling better
Interesting video!! It's well worth having a good clean out every now and then. You find stuff you forgot you had and free up space that is just full of cr@p. The more sheds you have the more cr@p you keep!!! I don't have any cr@p in my sheds off course !!! I'm certain if you give me long enough I can eventually justify keeping all the junk I have!!!!!!!!
Scott where did you learn to fabricate so professional? Just a natural or from dad. It’s just totally crazy how you make things from basically scratch. You guys all just blow my mind. NW Ohio Paul.
Absolutely love watching y'all, us farmers sure know how to rig and jig things and fabricate from scratch because that's just whatcha gotta do sometimes 😉lol keep up the great videos
highly enjoy your fab videos, you guys a blessed in so many was. love how you take a model and make it into a quality machine. hope you and your family is staying warm, and healthy take care God Bless.
Amazing idea, love it. I remember you got a similar cleaner, i thought why’d bought that one. Now I know why. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family.
nice project. Does the shaker cleaner not affect the fan cleaner? Many cam wheel seeders still have a stirrer shaft to prevent blockage. Is that cleaner in the wind still an idea?
A perforated outlet on fan will even out the air velocity. It does cut airflow some but works well and we use in HVAC world. Nominal perforation of 50% works well.
The fan you have is made to blow against a static pressure.. Take a piece of cardboard and slowly slide it so it covers some of the opening on the opposite of the motor that will even out your airflow on the outlet as well as force more airflow thru the motor which will keep it running cooler...You will notice that the fan will also run a little faster as you cover more of the opening... If you don't do this you will burn out the motor in no time...Restricting the air on either the inlet or outlet will create a static pressure either way.... good luck...
Just a suggestion. The sheet to separate the beans from the rest should not be in an angle about 90° or something. We build similar machines and have a "cutting edge". The metal shows directly in the stream. The end is fixed to a pipe or somethig, so it is able to rotate. The cutting edge is adjustable with a long whole in the sidewalls. If you also have a small window in the sidewall it is easy to adjust the cutting edge to the product flow. So you can set it as narrow as possible, without loosing good product. If you need a sketch for explanation just contact me directly.

I know you can't show us but I'm sure there's a ton of discussion and designing going on. I just want to say the ingenuity you show all the time is phenomenal. Great job!
Loved it at 11:10 When LegArms goes and pulls pieces out of Nick's "trash bucket" to build the gate out of.
That was absolutely amazing how you guys created that unit. 👏 👏 👏 It looks so professional. During the winter you guys could make those kind of things for other farmers and make some additional money. Leg Iron should put some neosporine on that cut and please keep some bandages in the shop. That could easily get infected! Great job!!
Love the CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) model. Did not realize you were so High Tech :).
i tried and true method and you beat me to the comment LOL
The US has a massive skills gap, most tradesmen (welders, carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, electricians etc)are reaching retirement age. But, farmers have all the skills in the gap. It’s amazing to watch.
I love how Nick is cleaning up all the scrap metal and throwing it away because “we will never use it” as leg arm walks over and grabs two pipes from the scrap bin.
Exactly 😊

Hey Bob, I got to say you need to get a father of the year award! You have raised two amazing young men who not only work together well but are creative, and a blessing to your name. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos and I feel like I almost know you guys because of everything that I watched over the last two years. You continue to amaze me and I'm sure others and how your family stays together and works together plays together and serves God together. Blessings!
Thank you! Blessings
That welding table with the brake on the end , I like! farmers engineering at its best!
You three guys just astound me every video. No wonder you are a success. I can't imagine the cost savings you gain by doing it by yourself. God bless.
Wish I could get simply safe in australia!
Well done welkers for the great craftsmanship, yous should be proud farmers!
I'm still in awe over the spiral staircase Bob made over the summer.
Great idea on the auger end gate! To make it even easier, close it and put a mark on the pipe that moves. Then put marks every inch and numbers, so that when you get it set how you want it'll be easy to come back to that setting if you need to change it.
You guys are absolutely what it means to be an American! Hard working, humble, respectful men of God. Good work!
Dont forget us Aussies lol
Yes, because there are no "Hard working, humble, respectful men of God" anywhere else on this planet and those are qualities exclusive to Murica!
@@sigmatus303 Yah, you were so deep down under, he didn"t see you. even not us dutchies. Ongeblievable. 🙃
That thing really blows. Great engineering. Like watching you guys work. Leg arms I'm glad the finger is still attached.
Appreciate the background on the research and development. This type of content is why I watch TH-cam.
After many years of watching this channel, I have finally figured out the "role" that these three play to make this business run smoothly ...
Bob (Dad) Master Farmer
Scott (Legarms) Master Fabricator
Nick (Hollywood) Master Shop Cleaner
Keep Doing What You Are Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Keeping America Feed
I love how they work based on their strengths
I love watching you guys fab your own equipment , I was a metal fabricator before I retired
Impressive, the knowledge of the elders meets the capability of youth. Keep building for the next generation. American ingenuity at its best.👍
Hooray for the "Bison". Fantastic new piece of equipment.
Always love to see what farmers build. Re-using old parts - making what they need out of old parts. Like I've said before - brings back my childhood with grandpa on the farm.

a farmer without an old scrap pile is useless..... no time to run to town/ parts house, no budget for new
This video was so “a peasing!” Fab on the farm! Great stuff guys.
Dad jokes! Gotta luv em"!
Amazing how the three of you can
fab anything you want. Sure is a great gift you guys have.
Cleaner is looking good !!!
HEY ! Good morning to everybody and thumbs UP to Welker Farms !
👍👍👍
My hvac guy said those cage fans work better if you cover part of the side to make the flow equal on both sides and it helps cool the motor
Yall keep up the great work on yall's fabrication an rebuilds you're doing an exhalent job on it. Hope your family has a Great An Plentifull Crop this Season. Much Respect

Enjoy these fab / shop videos! Keep up the good work Welker Farms! 👍🙏🇺🇸
GREAT Job fabricating that blower hopper thingy-a-gig
Welkers at work = another great video...Thank ya'll for farmin', feedin' and fabin' for 🇺🇸!

I have this problem. It builds into huge piles of stuff that just sit year after year.
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
11:10 When Leg Arms goes and pulls pieces out of Nick's "trash bucket" to build the gate out of.
Have found that it is sometimes hard to get rid of the bits and pieces of specialty metals (stainless steel, certain shapes) that are hard to come by. You tend to want to keep them no matter what the size/shape.

Now thats a cool build. Glad you guys know what you are doing. Keep up the videos, we love them. From north carolina.
i was with you at the cardboard model. after that, i was behind bob and going with the flow.
You three never cease to amaze me with the things that you build and do a professional job of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob - Your good pea flow makes this look Easy Peasy. I'll see myself out :D

It’s amazing these guys don’t get any free tools like Zack, after all these guys are obviously highly skilled fabricators.
Bob just can’t help himself with the dad jokes! I love your ingenuity. Good work.
Glad to see that Bob is "Going with the flow"
Looks great! Should cut an opening in side of your hopper and put a piece of plexiglass. Sucks running blind while adjusting augers all the time.
This is crazy because my dad and I also built this same thing to try and separate wild oats from wheat! Ours was built out of plywood but lined the inside with tin to use magnets to hold up dividers, adjusting them like you also are. We also used a furnace fan! Looks a lot better built out of metal!

I think Nick cleaned out that room last year. Its nice to see that Scott likes to put a little of himself in everything that he does.😁
I love the farming videos. But I also just like the aspect of how you guys build and reuse just about everything you have! Love it
Very cool! I love the ingenuity / design process. Making things actually functional vs. just doing it because.
These videos of you guys fabbing machines is very entertaining. It takes special skills most of us city folks wish we possessed.
I am amazed by ingenuity you all have.
I'm not jealous of your "squeaky snow" here in SD, lol. Been mild here, lots of 40 degree days, but we're missing the moisture. Your development of your cleaner reminds me working for my grandfather growing up 25 years ago. We'd build lots of different stuff. Interesting vid.
Glad GrandPa is going with the flow! Looks like it will be a nice rig when done. Stay safe and healthy.
This is one of your coolest projects yet! The creativity and workmanship is excellent! Thanks for sharing all the progress. :)
I was hoping your dad wouldn't disappoint...
*"Go with the flow!"*
Great work!
Your farm and ideas never cease to amaze and fascinate me. You all are amazing
Being a graduate of the Rube Goldberg school of engineering, may I offer a few tips. More belts and cranks, some neon lights, and whistles! For the crowning touch, florescent paint!

👍
Lol! Perfect timing, just sat down by the fire with a cup of coffee🤩
Perfect!
A good place to start for setting the air deflector is 45 degrees to the air flow. It will be nice to see it run.
It’s just really awesome how you guys all work together build the Welker Farm!!
Brilliant video guys the wonder’s of fast forward 😂 great to see you all working in the workshop together. Rob from the 🇬🇧
Now, that's what I call "Welker-quality"!👍🏻
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Great project, don't forget to give it a paint job!
Really admire your ingenuity and industriousness
Thank you, that was a great video. Looking forward to seeing it running. Who knows your kids may start a seed cleaning service someday. Nice work. Take care and God bless.
Monsanto will insure the next generation won't be able to use this. I sure hope I am wrong though.
One way to avoid the use of Gorilla Tape is the use of PPE. Specifically - gloves.
I've been in the metal fab world for about 40 years and you guys are fantastic!
If you check the used market I'm sure you will find a break press and a shear at a reasonable price and make your fabrication life much easier.
"Going with the flow." another gem!
So cool! Love the practical engineering. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I'm so glad to see you guys are making your own cleaner. I remember when you demo the grain cleaner a couple years back. I loved those videos
Try an "air knife" design, keep the existing fan entrance, choke it down to a slit with a flap. The large area behind the slit will equalize the air flow without vanes. Just restrict the flow with the size of the slit until you just create a restriction, the back pressure might even improve fan efficiency. Even though it is not fed with an air compressor, when set as a slight flow restriction, the flow velocity should increase potentially allowing larger product flow rates.
Leg Arms, you may want a additional shaft with rotating spikes to help disperse any pods, you feeder gate could plug quite often without it, or there’s another thing that could be done. Too long to type out. T
Oh my....the background music in the first part of the video ...i thought geto boys was gonna start spittin out "d@mn it feels good to be a gangster" from the movie office space......and rightfully appropriate as your fabricating skills are pretty gangsta..... You guys are awesome...super glad everyone is feeling better
Interesting video!!
It's well worth having a good clean out every now and then. You find stuff you forgot you had and free up space that is just full of cr@p.
The more sheds you have the more cr@p you keep!!!
I don't have any cr@p in my sheds off course !!! I'm certain if you give me long enough I can eventually justify keeping all the junk I have!!!!!!!!
That was a great video the cleaner is looking good. Great video stay safe and warm
Scott where did you learn to fabricate so professional? Just a natural or from dad. It’s just totally crazy how you make things from basically scratch. You guys all just blow my mind. NW Ohio Paul.
Farmed learned
More video of the construction of this at the end would be appreciated…might make one of these for cleaning some grain for feed on the farm
Absolutely love watching y'all, us farmers sure know how to rig and jig things and fabricate from scratch because that's just whatcha gotta do sometimes 😉lol keep up the great videos
Should have built it all on top of a Big Bud Chassis 😃 Nice work guys! You sure "blew" me away with this one. 😆
Man so awesome how ya guys just get it done god bless always awesome family working together
highly enjoy your fab videos, you guys a blessed in so many was. love how you take a model and make it into a quality machine. hope you and your family is staying warm, and healthy take care God Bless.
Amazing idea, love it. I remember you got a similar cleaner, i thought why’d bought that one. Now I know why. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family.
I am WELL impressed with your fabrication skills,ingenuity, and resource. And you make it so interesting too.
Thanks guys, and
God bless.
I have a few things that could help you out with multiple types of seeds is to use a variable drive motor for your blower fan
nice project. Does the shaker cleaner not affect the fan cleaner? Many cam wheel seeders still have a stirrer shaft to prevent blockage. Is that cleaner in the wind still an idea?
Good questions. We'll see
Fantastic innovation. I admire your work space.
that they do , is dang great work on there ingenuity on there creation's.
A perforated outlet on fan will even out the air velocity. It does cut airflow some but works well and we use in HVAC world. Nominal perforation of 50% works well.
The fan you have is made to blow against a static pressure.. Take a piece of cardboard and slowly slide it so it covers some of the opening on the opposite of the motor that will even out your airflow on the outlet as well as force more airflow thru the motor which will keep it running cooler...You will notice that the fan will also run a little faster as you cover more of the opening... If you don't do this you will burn out the motor in no time...Restricting the air on either the inlet or outlet will create a static pressure either way.... good luck...
It's coming together beautifully!!
22:59 "and I'm just going with the flow"
What would a Welker video be without Bob & his puns! 😀🤣🤣
All 3 of you guys are so Talented!!
I like it. Building something you need is the heart of this great land.
The airflow is going to change once you get a top on it.
Just a suggestion. The sheet to separate the beans from the rest should not be in an angle about 90° or something. We build similar machines and have a "cutting edge". The metal shows directly in the stream. The end is fixed to a pipe or somethig, so it is able to rotate. The cutting edge is adjustable with a long whole in the sidewalls. If you also have a small window in the sidewall it is easy to adjust the cutting edge to the product flow. So you can set it as narrow as possible, without loosing good product. If you need a sketch for explanation just contact me directly.
Great video it just amazes me how you guys fab stuff and work together it was pretty darn cold here in west central Wisconsin also
I'm really impressed with your skills. Good job!
