Sell the strip tiller or we’re getting a divorce. I refuse to edit another striptiller video. People have no idea!! I edit out 3/4 of the problems this machine has.
Yeah nothing but problems the last few years
I agree with you Rebekah. Needs more video of "good" stuff instead of disgruntlement.
hahaha.wouldn't blame you for asecond
Wow. That's like serious sounding.
It's nice to see the struggles. Otherwise you might be tempted to think that the actor playing the Millennial Farmer might be fake.
Still amazing, Zach, the millenial, wandering around the farm yard in a hooded sweat shirt and here comes Dad in a tee shirt, just as tough as they come! 🤣🤣
27 years in the Navy. My Sailors that grew up on a farm were always reliable, willing to try some work they weren't trained for and ready to go.
Thank you for your Service!
Master chief? I had two uncles that were master chiefs. I miss them every day. Ornery as the day is long, never washed their coffee cups. There wives knew better then to wash them…
@@uralmash07 Same!
When I was responsible for hiring engineers, if they grew up on a farm, they were in!
Best sales pitch " I'm done fighting it someone else can but it's solid and ready to go"
Watching Zach being frustrated with a machine and trying to sell that machine simultaneously is humorous.
It’s an unusual sales pitch
I'm too honest.
@@MillennialFarmer don't sweat it bro. There will be another way around that problem. Farmers always find a way. My grandpa always did😊
His pain is our entertainment
@@MillennialFarmer I am going to assume you have never owned or wore a plaid sport coat to work. You would have starved to death as a used car salesman
Those people that are not subscribed, are keeping Anna from riding in the tractor 😠. Come on and help her out 🙏
Anna needs a million subscribers so she can ride before the winter comes!!! come on people, she deserves it!!!
People have probably told you but try a Montag Dry cart. We've used a 10 ton cart behind our 16 row strip tiller for 10 years. It's worked flawlessly for us, its also designed for dry fertilizer. We even pull a 2000 gal liquid tank behind it.
Great video Mr. Millennial you're the reason why I'm addicted to farming videos for the last 2 years.
I always love watching this channel so I can see that other farmers struggle too. Easy to feel like it's just you having issues sometimes.
I’m not that old, but I’m old enough to remember when the only electronics were the fender mounted radio, the only sensors were our 5 senses, and you never had to call the dealer for advice.
Amen
Wow! I’m in Ramsey MN but no farming history. Still enjoy all your posts, videos, etc. I am 63, retired and have learned so much! Just want to let you know how appreciative I am for your You Tube videos. Keep it up!
Love this new technology. Micro switches, sensors, check values, video cards, potenmeters, flow switches, computer chips. All around fine dust and moisture.
If they can make a phone IP68 certified, I don't see why John D engineers can't make a system avoid more ingress-related problems
@@scottpelletier1370 who’s gonna pay the techs salary if the machine always works?
Zach I’m glad that the strip tilling went well for you for once.
Excellent job Becky. I am sure Zach will get rid of the frustration machine.. 🌹🌹
When you bumped up your fertilizer rate your fan speed wasn’t high enough and product began to accumulate in your wing hoses because they are the longest. That’s why fertilizer was still coming out when the meter wasn’t turning. Also it would have created pressure variations in multiple hoses because air flow was restricted thus diverting air flow to the hoses that weren’t plugging. That’s why your rate was jumping all over the place.
You are 100% correct.
god dang genuis!!
You mentioning the corn leaves blowing, brought back the memory of seeing corn leaves at 1000-1500 feet in the air when I was flying blimps during harvest time.
Bruh, everytime I go to Wal-mart they're out of corn chips. hurry up.. ;)
Be nice
@@themoneyman3568 that is nice, its also a joke....
Zach get with Montag. They have the tank setup you need to mount directly to your current bar.
I'm sure Montag can put a cart behind that 2510 for you. Good luck, you're on the right path in my opinion just get the pieces worked out.
Easy Zach, Urgent by Foreigner . Thank you for another great video. Happy and safe finish to the 2022 harvest.
I think you're 100% correct lol
@@ryancrummy4114 He is 100% correct.
He gave it away when he said “so urgent”
Your Dad is a gold mine of experience and wisdom. Cherish him Zach, while you can! 😀👍
We just got our first snow up here in the north east today! Have a safe and happy harvest! Stay warm!
Yup the air cart would go .. No need for that kind of stress. I am sure there is a better one out there. God Bless you all. Love the kitties and pups .
Urgent by foreigner on Daily guess. Fantastic videos from you and your family.
Hindsight is 20/20, but if only you had the air cart parked where the combine was last summer! :(
Hahahahahaaa!
You should get a nice big 54/55 foot Brock bin with a Norstar U-Trough those bins are insane in the membrane
I installed one on my road salter, no more auger clogging up - works great! Not a bad idea.
This epic tale outlasts the planter issues by far! Time to get a different strip-tiller setup maybe
Hey Zach, you guys have an incredible set of tools at your disposal !! Every time I see you slide out one of the drawers, I see a beautiful display of tools. All sorts of 🔧🛠️ wrenches, screw drivers and the like !! And you KNOW they're NOT cheap. I continue to be impressed with your entire operation - even after the recent devastating tornadoes !! Good men, Zach, Jim and your Dad !! Salute !!
That would be a great whistling diesel Collab Zach. He'd take care of the strip tiller for you. LoL
Got it before the sax visual aid, but it's Urgent by Foreigner 😁
A bourgault cart with single meter augers on each tank going into a central distribution head is the answer, those things are so much simpler than any set up with multiple meters
What was different between fields? You folded the wings. now you have an issue with one of the wings.
If the line got pinched and prevents full flow to the wing, it will slowly fill up with product while still letting some through.
Then when you turn the fan on, that excess product in the lines finally gets by the blockage Making it appear that the meter is still dispensing.
Came here to post exactly this, the lines are filling up and the fan is blowing it back out slowly hence the discrepancy and it ‘still dispensing’
An east check would be to leave it running the fan with the meter rolls of and see how long product comes out for.
what you are doing with the fertilizer Cart is something else. it's crazy to me that next spring you guys will be able to plant right into the fertilizer. thanks for sharing.
Zack, love the harvest videos. Sorry you have so much trouble with the strip tiller
Regarding the bins:
I'm not a farmer, but i watch alot of farm tubers 🤣
I've noticed that no one ever regrets building a large bin. Build the biggest one you can, maybe the same size as the new bin the Larsons built. You could essentially put the corn from two of your existing bins into one, and maybe free one up for soybeans. That way, you could install cables into one of your 60k bins, and start rehydrating soybeans for more profit. Or, in a good year, just have a lot of capacity for corn.
I feel your pain. I've got a deere 1910 cart and I've spent the last 5 days trying to seed 200 acres. One chickenshit problem after another. This spring I seeded 200 acres a day and not a hiccup
proud sub and hitting the thumbs up on every vid. Cant wait till the milestone is hit and the pup gets the ride.
You are awesome Becky!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
I would love to see the b-roll/unedited version :) Anyway @SoilWarior should step up and assist.
On a really small scale spreading fertilizer, not through tubes but with a gas powered spinner, chunks are catchable (50lb bags have chunks you can catch and break up manually). But right above the opening is always an agitator (an auger or a straight bar welded perpendicular on a vertical spinning shaft) that spins around and breaks chunks I can't see. It keeps product flowing because there are ALWAYS chunks. Finer screens in the fill openings and an agitator look like things you've pointed out already as solutions. And solutions I think would improve things tremendously.
Would you ever consider investing in an actual Strip-Till bar or demoing one like the one Unverferth makes?
Look for a montag cart. Have had really good luck with it, made specifically for fertilizer
I smiled when you talked about the cost of fuelling the tractor. According to Mr google, diesel is around $1.00 a gallon today , here in Australia we pay $1.90 per LITRE, that works out to US$5.65 - or US$2,260 to fill your 400 gallon fuel tank!
Hate to see you have so much trouble, so many up’s and downs the last year or two with just this machine. I know harvest can be stressful so sending good vibes your way. Hope you, Becky, and the rest of the crew can keep your heads up keep after the corn. Thank you both for the videos!
Another great video. Thanks, Becky for all your work putting them together.
GREAT IDEA strip tilling on paper, should work good in dry soil for sure , great idea , give you credit for trying some thing different and not cheap ..... i remember guys trying no till for the first time .... something strange and not the way we always do it ........takes a SMART man to make a change ....
@Millennial Farmer may god bless you man for you bring peace and content for all of us. I hope that he bless you in a amazing way and always keep it in between the rows.
When you said you never had issues with it messing around you made me laugh so hard man, really appreciate it
Zack I would recommend a 100k bushel bin witch is roughly 60 foot 10 ring bin somewhere in there as a bin dealer even if can't get filled u have room for more acres as a bin dealer seems to be the most common size if u can afford to go taller
Love the red onion shirt! And it's definitely noticeable how much quieter your air system is!
A well oiled machine you guys are
Nice that you fertilizer attachment is done for the year 😎🍁
Corn is getting harvested, looks like a good year 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for all the fun episodes. I never miss.
You should look into the Unverferth Raptor strip tiller. The Browns used it and seemed to really like it.
Thanks Zach having fun with the machines ☺️👍. Take care of yourself and family.
Looks like a bunch of asphalt grindings for base fill. That's a good use of it. It gets pretty solid.
I just started a new job working at a waste management transfer/maintenance station. My first job was power washing one of the route trucks to be repaired. This one was a front loader for getting dumpsters from restaurants and small businesses. Brother, power washing that tank cart was paradise compared to what I faced. Head to toe in a Tyvek suit, hardhat with face shield, rubber gloves that go to my elbows and a rubber apron. When you blast a pocket of maggots and a full diaper and the contents of both are now on your pretty white suit, you know you've arrived. You've reached the pinnacle of power washing. When I finished the inside of my face shield was just as filthy as the outside, on account of me throwing up several times. I thought $28/hour? that is great! Now I know...now I know.
My goodness Zach...... you showed a lot more patience with that strip tiller than I would have...... kudos to you.
I also suggest making the new shed floor all concrete. That way in a pinch, it could be used as a shop in case god forbid something happen to the shop.
I’m loving these videos of your love hate relationship with the strip tiller, soooooo fun to watch you talking to yourself . If it were me and most other people there would be a large amount of cursing and the use of a very large sledge hammer. As always another great video- thank you
I dont own any acreage but I want a strip tiller just like that to pass the time of day in frustration.
This has changed from farming videos to watching someone call tech support for 20 minutes straight 😂😂😂
That's a new skill set for farmers now, telephone tech trouble shooting communication...the thing by the master switch blinks when I increase muffler belt tension to 90%.
@@colorado1088 He's got good cell phone reception too, over by me coverage is super spotty and that doesn't help...
@@MrHurricaneFloyd not 3 minutes, a minute 20 that is from the content creator. Meanwhile you watch youtube that bomards you with 15 seconds followed by 5 sec ads all day long and don't complain.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd Don't watch, or better yet, make your own content so people can crap all over your creation.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd We must be watching a different video. Ad starts at :55 ends at 2:17. 1 minute 22 seconds long. You took more time than that posting your bitch.
Becky gave it away and let the first word of the song play before muting 25:06 ........"Urgent"...... by Foreigner
Waiting for your next vid. Thanks for sharing your lives with us
We need an Onyx Cam for sure, Jim cam could be interesting also 😂😂
What are the benefits to the transparent shed walls? Love the vids Zach and Becky!
no lights during day
And Solar heating as well!
@@matkremzar5474 no lights in the dark either lol.
You can back in without worrying about poking a hole in the metal
You see the Storm coming sooner !
I love your dads Victory Motorcycle shirt!!! Very smart man.
Thank you for NOT saying DEF Fluid.🤠👍
And I thought we were going to get a full corn harvest video !😆
Can’t wait to see your new machine shed.
Be safe> Good Bless.
Had to synch up Foreigner Urgent audio to Zach's Name That Tune - and his air saxophone solo - then more fun to watch! Maybe in the future include a longer a clip of him rockin out to his favorite song in the cab and then we can just synch up the track on our own! Hope it's a great harvest! 😊
I wonder if mixing some talc or graphite into that product would help keep it from bridging in the tank or sticking in the tubes?
Thought the same
That’s what 4x4 on pickups stands for. 4 weeks in spring,4 weeks in fall, 44 weeks of nothing at all……. Farmers life😂
I absolutely appreciate you keeping the fight going. I hope the strip till works out for you. I believe you will love it in the end if you can get the bugs worked out.
A big bin like the larsons would be awesome but do whatever works, keep up the great work
when the strip tiller has an unfortunate accident you need to claim with insurance, make sure the simplisafe™ cameras are off 😁
The Camera's were conveniently off. When Epstein didn't kill himself too !!! 🤐
@2:50 “Strip tilling fertilizer in is so easy” @13:50 “This cart will not be on our farm next year”😂😂 URGENT By Foreigner👍👍
Foreigner - Urgent
Boom, that’s two in a row for me🎉
Check with Brian's farming videos he had a video on Strip till bar from unverfeth putting down dry fertilizer.
I was on the “It will be different this year” train for a long time Zach. The fact that you have had multiple people work on it as supposed “experts” and spent countless $$$$$$ that could have been better spent on Thongs, Race Cars, SxS’s, Beer, idk….I came on board when you were in the 42k sub range so I feel like I have major cred here. Just sayin’.
Hey EVERYONE give this a THUMBS UP UP ABOVE FOR BECKY J's EDITING WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU HAVE DONE ON ALL THESE VIDEOS BECKY!!!!!!!!! You make ZACH LOOK GOOD (WAIT) he is good but you do not get the credit you deserve!!!! GEAT JOB BECKY!!!!! I just did at 7K!!!!!!!
Why are you shouting?
Looks like the Larson Farm struggle bus made it to your farm and as Chet would say the aircart is "junk", but I like the way you work keep grinding away.
Urgent, Foreigner. Great song, great video hope harvest continues going smooth
Been watching you for a couple years now. Also very interesting and even more interesting while smoke the devil's lettuce lol
Coming from a farm family in Indiana it is interesting to see the similarities/differences from here to Minnesota. It's funny, iold my dad about Zach's issues with the strip tiller. He laughed, cussed out the machine in Zach's favor, then said that he would've traded that thing off after 1 season. lol But he applauds you sticking with it Zach.
Before you restarted your beautiful strip tiller, remember you mentioned that it was completely wack? It may have been left in an inconsistent state because the tractor didn't command it shut because it was whack. Sometimes you have to restart and then fully cycle the start/stop to make sure that everything is in a consistent state again.
We’ve tried a soil warrior and had great success makes great strips and the whole system from tanks and meters to the bar itself is meant for fertilizer.
a pleasant surprise on moisture for once. happy for you!!
As having Driven tractors most of my life, A little Big voice that sits on your shoulder and always says to you!. Son never go near a planter or Baler or chopper! haha. You reap what you sow. im gonna give you 11 outa 10 for putting up with it. May your Crops grow well and your grass always be green. Don't ever stop putting it out there for your fans, im one.
Thanks for another great video.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
First of all. Not trying to create any ill feelings BUT I agree with Becky, the strip tiller needs to disappear. Enough is enough. Got more important things to do on the farm.
Sorry but how I feel and I support Zach one hundred percent but not that darn strip tiller.
Looks like the new setup on your dryer is working good. Lot less noise and adjustments and easier to run and monitor. Great setup.
You asked about what size bin to put up next year. Larsons new bin is working great for them. They might have some info for you.
Getting both of the tillers going will help get the ground black behind the combine. Great you have two setups to do that with.
Looks like not too far away from your new building going up. Nice to have that done.
More harvest to go yet. Go get em. Beautiful yellow corn looks good and moisture is ok.
Hope the fuel buggy is an easy fix. Always something with equipment.
All for now. You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Zach.
The Iowa Farm Boy.
Hi Zach, I wanted to offer an encouragement about strip tilling.
I appreciate your trying it and I think that it CAN work well for you.
1# The first year is the hardest. You understand this now. :)
2# I think that to have the best experience possible with strip tilling you need to have the proper strip tilling equipment. That cart isn't built for fertilizer. I highly recommend Montag. They have a great cart and delivery system. We and the neighbors run them and really like them.
Take care and God bless you!
Here in Ny, we run two Kuhn strip tillers with liquid tanks. One is a 12 row and the other is a 16 row
Long days, you might be a millennial but you’ve got a hell of a work ethic. You, your father and Jim plus the rest of your crew deserves a very well done !
Possibly product backing up in the air tubes?
Then when you raise the machine, it starts to unclog itself slowly onto the ground?
I also noticed one tube hanging lower than the others between the machine. Bet you a beer that’s the one…
Absolutely spoiled here with the content you plowed out the past month. Thank you so much for providing content that’s fun and positive to watch.
What was the song!!!???
I’ve heard really good things about the soil Warrior strip tillers
Strip till with n p k started with a 6pack on the way home, quitting at 9, then progressed to crown royal on the way home over a few weeks and quitting at 7!!
God Bless the farmers! Love the videos and keep them coming!
Primary hoses when plugged with product, that’s why there was material still flowing out of them when you are not turning product
Love you man. Nice to see you giving the kitties some love lately. Much success and keep them coming. One comment: We grow mostly drilled bean and you guys' plant more traditional. Any reason for that?
