How about a 7721 pto powered, towed combine, a 444 head, with a 4440? That’s how I started. Fill two wagons, hop on that tractor, go put it up. The drier was leaving it in the field long enough, back to the field, hop in the 4440 and start the process over again. Seed? Hell, I planted bin corn one year and it worked! Open pollinated, did that a few years. My pigs and chickens loved it! 10% protein!
Once you get this new stuff figured out, its way faster than the old school, considerably more efficient which leads to better more accurate planting which results in better yields. Old school still works, just not as good.

As a software developer in the ag field, all I can say is sorry from all of us...well those us that actually care about the products we build anyway. This video was really eye-opening and should be required watching for anyone building software like this.
As a programmer of 26 years I'm glad I don't have software that runs on equipment like this. So many variables. And when it's needs to work it needs to work now. Not saying I don't feel good software just saying I don't think I could deal with it LOL
Well he did a half decent impression of Forrest Gump saying it, so it was guessable even if you didn't know the reference for sure. Zach is always so funny with his dead pan delivery.
I give farmers so much credit for their patience with the seemingly unending barrage of problems they encounter. If it's not electronic, it's mechanical, on top of that you have tight windows of weather you try to work in and then you have another malfunction. As much as I'd love to work on a farm again, I think I'd blow more head gaskets than a powerstroke.
Another farmer on TH-cam was answering questions from his subscribers live when he was asked if he was redundant in the planter since the "robot" could do it all. Your issue with the equipment showed just how one sensor can mess up the entire planting process. So his answer was no, the human cannot be replaced since the human was the only "tool" that could fix every issue as they happened. I also point out how remote robots on Mars have to be build in the simplest way possible to not fail and Mars is not the friendly environment that the Earth is by comparison. People-built equipment has a lot of parts and therefore many possible points of failure. I'm an I/T Specialist now for 28 years and I can say Confusious was right, "Shit happens!". With Aloha from Hawaii...
This video is exactly how my days feel. Start early fight some problems with the monitor. Load seed watch the sun go down. Seems like they go by as fast as your video too.
Love your videos, Zach! I’m not a farmer (I wish I was!), but your content is the perfect blend of education, entertainment, and equipment! I look forward to each new vid and OTH podcast! Keep ‘em coming!
Hi, I'm Luis from argentino, my Greetings and admiration for his work in the field and his dedication. I admire a lot with the precision and care that is whorked in the USA excellent your video, too bad I'm not very good with English 💪🤠
Can say this. Idk how long I've been watching your videos yet been subscribed. Buddies all farm and have done ride alongs. I've learned alot into this lifestyle from you Sir so thank you. 35yr old and this is my first year helping plant.

My favorite Movie ! You are right about the robot machines today. Love to hear that John Deere run and see is pulling that planter. Great job Zach ! I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the planting video. These new planters are a huge computer being pulled through the field. Wow. For someone not understanding modern day technology this would be a struggle. Zach, you do a real good job of working these systems. My compliments to you. Really interesting equipment now days. Great when all is working on the planter but a headache when not. You seem to have the bugs worked out now and ready to rock and roll. Like the thunder fueling rig and your seed tender is outstanding. Nice. Appreciate your time in doing the video. Thanks to Becky for editing. You all take care and be safe. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
The Down Force Discombobulator wasn't connected properly to the Thingamajig through the Whatchamacallit. That causes a poor connection between the Doohickeys resulting in improper force on the closing wheels. Never fails.
Remember the good old days when you would pull one rope on the planter to start planting, and pull another rope to set the markers? Crude, but it got the job done. :)
Love thw Forrest Gump refrence!!! Really like that movie!! I do not work in the farming occupation but I enhoy watching your videos!! Keep up the great content.
I'm all out of seed. I'm so lost without you. I thought of Air Supply as soon as you said it too. I'm more your dad's age, but somehow all my kids know all those songs too. Made me smile, Thanks
Zack - there used to be a certain key sequence for your truck to turn off the audible seat belt alarm, the sequence is usually buried in the owners manual... in case that is of interest to you.
Oh my Lord I'll take back our old 8 row JD precision Bean planner we could easily do a 100 /150 arces a day ran about 4 miles an hour and nearly a perfect stand with not all those headaches I wish you the best your nerves must be shot hope you get the bugs out and have a stresless remainder of the year

I'm 39 second into the video and the camera is million times better than before.
100% agreed!
That's because he upgraded for his OnlyFans. We wanted HD tractor porn.
Awesome new camera
This man speaks the truth.
The cam on the last video was horrible.
Things like this make me glad we run 30+ year old equipment, nothing wrong with a 7000 planter with markers and a 4450 tractor
How about a 7721 pto powered, towed combine, a 444 head, with a 4440? That’s how I started. Fill two wagons, hop on that tractor, go put it up. The drier was leaving it in the field long enough, back to the field, hop in the 4440 and start the process over again. Seed? Hell, I planted bin corn one year and it worked!

@@mikeznel6048 and as you can see at the welkers this spring: Old stuff breakes down more often because of mechanical failures
@@mikeznel6048 it truly is amazing. But the nostalgia of old school is fun to talk about.
You need a 7300 with air bags and XP openers. And eSet plates. I guess you have auto steer?
If only you had some WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray in your tractor! Cleaning those connectors would’ve been a breeze!
I hope their paying you for advertisement! 🤣
Ahh. You’ve been paying attention
Well, whenyou send a boy to do a man's job, it all makes sense! Just put Jim In the planter, Get R done Jim!....
Just what I was thinking
And a tube of dielectric grease!
I’m just glad the boat made it through another winter.
My general rule is that if you think all of your equipment is in perfect working order, you just haven’t tried to use it yet. :)
If you didn't run into issues you haven't been to the limit or haven't been on full send yet, as I like to call it. 😁

Zach: "I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now"
Me: " I understood that reference"
Gump
"It happens"
"What does?"
"You know, shit, it happens"
“Have a nice day.”
You know what my momma used to say... Planting is like a box of choclates. Your planter is always broken.
Well he did a half decent impression of Forrest Gump saying it, so it was guessable even if you didn't know the reference for sure. Zach is always so funny with his dead pan delivery.
It's good to see your Father getting around without a cane. When are we going to get an update on his lawn?

My family just asked me What?!" Our new kitten woke up and gave me an annoyed look. Why? Because I just growled Thunderrrr!
Did you check the hitch hight? Row 4 will give you the best yield!😜

Watching you work with the plug in on row #4, I am reminded of the Old Nintendo cartridges. Gotta blow the dust out!
🤣🤣
Good Morning! .........................Thank you for sharing........................Good Night....................
Whatever that camera is don’t quit using it!!! Thanks for the vid! Jealous of all you get to do...

Liked the Forest Gump homage at the end...
Really like the new HD camera.....great resolution....👍
Love the Gump reference!
Mrs Becky and Zach you guys are doing a great job 👏 Zach get planting your soil 😎
We just put the high speed kit on our planter and my grandpas 78 and man he just loves running 10 miles an hour 😂
Un-plug it and plug it in again. Works for my cable box. And if that doesn't work, tap it on the side a few times. That worked on our old, old tv.😎
I thought I was the only one who has days like this. Feeling the pain.
Enjoy watching Anna & Ditch playing!
Love your videos, Zach! I’m not a farmer (I wish I was!), but your content is the perfect blend of education, entertainment, and equipment! I look forward to each new vid and OTH podcast! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you!!
Thunder never gets old. Makes me smile each time!
Much better camera than the the last few vids. The last one you had focusing issues. Plus this one has smooth framerates.
Hi, I'm Luis from argentino, my Greetings and admiration for his work in the field and his dedication. I admire a lot with the precision and care that is whorked in the USA excellent your video, too bad I'm not very good with English 💪🤠
Wishing you guys great yields!
I would be so stressed dealing with your problems. Your very patient.
Loving all the planting videos from everybody
@7:30 I see you still have that sweet sail boat !!!
I started singing the same song. My mind has melded with the actor playing Zach.

I liked the Forest Gump quote “I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home now”.
I literally started singing "All Out of Love" right before you broke in with it...you know...great millennial minds think alike and all
Heck yeah
Because it's Spring Fever...And Rain is on the horizon....but could be the operator..lol..Thank you for sharing..
Cool 😎
Always puts a smile on my face when you say “thunderrr”

Clearly the best of the 3 cameras, very good quality!
You should post like an hours video real time video with a GoPro set on the back of the planter like at 14:07
I remember planting with my uncle in the late sixties. Always a bad day when our GPS service was not working:). Thanks for your videos.
Who else just loves him say good morning Jim
I like seeing his dogs lol there nice

Honestly thought when you were checking seed depth with your finger and you said that’s 1and 3/4 inch
I was expecting a “that’s what she said “
😝
Love the sound of that tractor!
Do Bourgault or Kinze air planters have these problems?
WOW!! The new camera is GREAT!!
Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?
Great job Zack good luck on the rest of the spring
Did you double check the tire pressure?
THUNDERRR.......
Thanks for the great content Zack and Becky. Jim and Dad too.
The Down Force Discombobulator wasn't connected properly to the Thingamajig through the Whatchamacallit. That causes a poor connection between the Doohickeys resulting in improper force on the closing wheels. Never fails.

Can't believe you didn't have Jim say "Thunderrrr" when you guys were hooking up to the truck or your dad while refueling.
He says it only while opening the door on it
The quality on the this was great. Probably the greatest ever.. you wouldn’t believe it....
Yes....I began singing along with you to "I'm all outta seed, I'm so lost without you. I need 10-34, send DEF and some fuel too.". 🤣
