The NEW Sukup Grain Bin is Built!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- In just under 48 hours our new Sukup Grain Bin is up. Unfortunately we've got some rotten wet corn plugged up in the gates way up top in the grain leg. 2200 miles in 7 days for myself to attend multiple speaking events and Husker Harvest Fest all while throwing in a little racing into the mix. Harvest is looking to be at least 2 weeks behind this fall because of the late spring and moist growing season.

I'm a small farmer from Pakistan, i really enjoy watching different technologies in your videos, we are so far from these technologies, i hope one day I'll step up my farming.
much love from Pakistan ✌️
I built a few of these on Michigan one summer for my grandfather. Hot ass work and man the steel bet heavier as it goes up.
Demo hammer for the grain pipe. Weld a curved plate of the same outside radius as the pipe to a shank that will go in the demo hammer. Rip on it until it opens up. Train hoppers use an air powered vibratory device for the same effect. Or maybe a 100ft power drain opener?
How many farmers does it take to change a light bulb.
Two: one to drive the tractor and the other to ride in the loader bucket.
Standard farming practice. Combine cabs work too.
Well, if it was LED first place, wouldn't have to change them unless it failed. 🤣
Unless you're a potato farmer, then you just use a remote controlled piler. >.
Becky should be seen more, Millennial Farm Wife. But her day is likely way more busy than we know. Much respect from Canada.

When i was a teenager i helped out the elevator in Johnson, Mn. building grain bins during the summer. Hot, noisy job.
Thanks Zach best of luck this fall and glad the led light bulbs are working out. Happy to help you guys out!
Thanks Lance!
Lance do you have a better solution to tube lights? We have a ton of them in our shop and they’re hit or miss if they will turn on or not and it drives us nuts..
@@ryanconrad1516 Hey Ryan, sorry for my delay. We have a few tube light options. You can actually use an LED tube light now that omits the ballast. It will cut your wattage in half and will be much brighter. Just takes a little rewiring but then you would have a 5 year warranty on lamps and much better lighting.
I'm glad I put up my 3 12,000 bins...its so nice not having to move every 4th truck..better not snow !!!!! I put the 60 watt corncob lights in the shop..major improvement
Some assembly required. Results may vary.
Phew, I thought you were never coming back. Thought maybe the welkers had buried you under one of those tarps! Or Brian had you in the concrete ramps. :-)
Too funny
The Walkers might of run him over with a red tractor
I relies I am way late ,, But if you used a hole saw 2 inch dia ,, and a K 60 auger machine with cleaning snake , to auger out the grain, then covered the hole after with a patch riveted on or used rubber fernco with band straps ,,, NO CRANE NEEDED ,,, you can rent the K 60 from a tool rental and fernco s are available at a plumbing supply ... Best Regards J
Love the CORNHUSKER state. GBR.
Each new video you add seems to elevate my level of respect for all farmers throughout this country....there is ALWAYS something needing attention on the farm...whether weather related or equipment related not to mention time with the family that is so precious.....farming is not for the weak at heart...thanks Zach..!!!
Wow what a week. That is Pre harvest training so when it starts you are on your game. Go Get Emmm.
I wish they would have shown us how they jacked up the bin as they were assembling it.
I actually work for Sukup. I make the rings for the roof and the inside of the bin. I also bend the brackets that hold most of it together.
Down here in Ky it has been in the mid to upper 90's now for the last month. Haven't had any rain in almost 6 weeks. Sooooo ready for some of the cool weather along with some rain.
Wow, the acoustics in that bin!! I witnessed many a gopher in that region...
Man I live like an hour east of grand forks! Minnesota born and raised.
Thanks for supporting Iowa State Cyclones
Cold and wet is NOT a problem we have been having here in Indiana! Thanks for all the hard work ya'll put into your content.
A dog that chases thunder that's a first for me lol awesome
I like your dog chasing thunder. He scoots along pretty well !
I always got stuck changing the bulbs in the bucket as well.
Thanks Zack... cant wait for the harvest!
Out here in NY, crops are way behind too. Got a ton of rain early in the spring.
Dog looks like he is moving great from the accident! Glad to see
Keep doin' what you do, young man! The world needs food.
Hey thanks for coming to Nebraska. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Yes up around the platte river alot of very good corn can be grown. From what I have heard if the corn yields an average of 225bu/acre. Its considered a bad year.
We wanted to see how you unstuck the grain elevator.
Run a sewage power snake down it. Don't have to take apart the pipe if you can get in from the side. Cut a small hole in the side of the pipe and patch it. No crane required.
sewer snake don't go UP very well in such a large pipe --they turn into spaghetti
Rock Chuck got stuck up there and died. LOL. Are you okay? Are you okay?
@@humanoverlord6708 The pressure washer hydro jetter type like Drain Addict uses would go up the pipe from the bottom. I wonder if the same thing could be done with air pressure.
@@tiredoldmechanic1791 You nailed it, just have to make sure to keep the water out of the system, pail/bucket over the open pipe below.
Cheers
well at least you got rain . we had no rain from 17.07.2019 to date .
That Moline is great!
well this video takes on a new meaning in may 2022. keep on farming. thank you.
I work at a sand mine. We get similar issues when it gets wet and plugs everything up. I had little clean out doors installed every 15 feet on the pipe. Makes a HUGE difference unçlogging the pipe 👍🏼
I think you should check the bin again. I’m sure someone was hiding in the corner.
Thank you for sharing how they built the silo/bin I often wondered how they built them, I thought it was by crane but this is so much more intresting thanks
Freebird would sound awesome in the new bin.
That's a good suggestion
That's a good suggestion
Can't wait for the harvest to start. Maybe the warmer weather we're getting this week in MN will help move things along.
Heck yeah Onnyx (sorry if I misspelled his name) has his own small dirt track car?! Good for him, learning how to be as cool as his father from a young age. Keep up the great content!
Glad to see you hopping around, started to get a bit worried. Bummer that the pipes are blocked ... 😒 ... the late harvest is also a item, sure hope it will go smoothly.
I get to see another grain bin built. Brian's Farming Videos just completed the same job so I'll get to compare the two processes.
I am from Nebraska. I wanted to go to to the event but I had school and could not make it. Hope to see you there possibly someday in the future.
I was surprise just how fast that bin went up that was quick I do like videos keep up the good work
You sure put on the miles. Hope the harvest goes well for you.
My Dad called that “windshield farming” He did that frequently.
Your father seems like the type of guy that nothing ever upsets him, he just says itll be alright and fixes it.
Typically that's the deal!
We built a bin too. First we had to take it down and transport it 1100 miles. It took three of us a week to build including site prep and concrete. I like the way you did it but it’s hard to beat a buck a bushel for good aerated storage.
Sukup definitely had some product placement in this video
You should come to my high school and speak! That would be awesome!
Farming is easy! Everything always works perfectly and efficiently. Haha.
Air powered vibrators on the plugged grain chute. Placed at strategic intervals. Air supply and valves with airline. Strap vibrators to chute.
A lot easier than swinging a hammer.
OMG I missed you. Dont ever leave me alone for that long again.
We done started harvesting here in Kentucky
WOW I am wearing the same shirt as your dad.
Clog: CALL ROTO-ROOTER . You need a heavy duty plumber's tape that they use to open clogs. One of mine has roller wheels and it can be ramme and pushe thru a clog. It is a 150' steel tape 1" x 5/32" or so.
Life is nonstop. You are a busy man. Make sure you wear them flip flops in the motel showers. There's fungi amungi! Even in the nicer ones. Your wife and kids for that matter will be saying, "Zach, your feet stink" Just some advice from a traveling man.
I was really hoping for you to sing an acoustic solo in the grain bin...
I second this..
Cole you should really start asking the CELEBRITY FARMER for his hand me downs.
Zach changes equipment like we change our underwear. 😭
There's no grain in it yet...
Grandad use to ask "can you sing solo"
"So Low we can't hear you".
Or can you sing far far away.
He will sing on a rainy day
All that rain coming down we're here Kentucky you could use it ain't nowhere drier than a popcorn fart you walk across the grass and it crunches so send that rain down here for sure
You light my day up
Have you seen the "Bethel College Chior Sang In My Grain Bin" TH-cam video? It was AMAZING!
No pressure Zach, but dry corn started coming off in South Central Pennsylvania. No pressure, but you better get some of them massive fans going to get to drying them fields out.
I wish I could!
Hi Zach any chance you can make a video now that your Dad has moved off the farm and is retiring and how that effects the way you will run the farm? i know many farms face this? thx for your time and educational videos.
amazing to see how they put up a grain bin from the top down.love y'alls videos.
Love that dog! Thanks for sharing
That was one hell of a week , its good your a young man cause that week would have killed me.
a video from zach sweet jesus,,, now we are on to corn and bean harvest
Putting up grain bins will make you hear the sounds of impact wrenches in your sleep for a few days...been there...lol
That's very cool been around bins for years and never seen one go up
Why don’t you just break the pipe near the ground and rod upwards towards the blockage? Surely far easier and cheaper than a crane etc.. love the vids and great job!
Use a drain auger /snake,this is the best keep secret in the grain industry.
You deserve to be a multi millionaire.
with that new wet bin you should be able to harvest more corn per day. we have started on soybeans here in michigan we planted extremely early in April and most of our beans are about ready to harvest. we have been running them for 2 days we have to bounce around to find ripe beans to harvest because of the wet spring. how are your crops looking are you close to harvest in your area ?
Hi millennial, I'm Franco from Argentina, im a farmer and I love your videos. The only problem is that my English is not very good. greetings and keep it up !!
More racing video! I used to dirt track it too. And I put ufo led lights in my barn there blindingly awesome.
Good to hear you sold your horizontal tillage machine always nice when things can find use elsewhere rather than sit and rust out also nicer on the wallet
I'm surprised the tractor started right up you must have switch batteries before filming
Interstate Battery Corporate Executives must really hate watching Zack's videos!
Actually he got tired of the battery jokes and has now hired an assistant to pre-start all trucks and equipment for him.
Boy the life of those Millennial Farmers. 👍
@@anastyb LMAO 😂 😂
Damn... that went up alot faster than Brown's
Finally a new video, I love watching you Americans, it's amazing.
yep we're in the same boat with harvest
Wow...what a crazy week/schedule...Love your channel and videos....well done!
Good to have a video. Thanks for the time. Glad you and the family got away for a break.
Glad to see you made it to my area of the world. You were only about 30 miles from me when you at Husker Harvest Days, Glad you had a good time; And good weather. Must have been here before the rain came.
Should have gave him an IOU, because those are just as good as money!
Well that was an action packed video. Your Minnesota Twins took 2 out of 3 in Cleveland this past weekend. Looks like the Twins will be the American League Central champs. Hope my Indians can get a wildcard berth, but they need to start hitting better.
It's about time the Twins get it together again! This year has been awesome
You are a Trooper!
Omg I loved how you ended the first day open the door flap on the bed lights out!!! That is so me ;-) edit I had to say it took bro an I a "week" to put a bin like that up.. but was only 2 of us ..
So the hotel you were in has a good restaurant in it. Also that's the river that flooded and made such a mess of the area south of town. And last but not least next time your are in Columbus you should take a tour at are potatoe plant in Duncan. Harvest is the best time to come out. septemberish. Looks like a little city in the fields. Come check use out. We are CSS Farms Duncan.
I hope Diggs never catches that Thunder!! That was hilarious.
That’s why we are called the cornhuskes! Wish i would have known you were coming by kearney twice! I have some family friends with over 2,000 acres of alfalfa and about 500 of corn. Would have been cool to show you around!
WHOAAAAAAA!!!!! Zach, tell ur lil bitty vikings never come to MIGHTY LAMBEAU FIELD!!!!!! TITLETOWN BABY!!! also, looking forward to your harvest vids, hope it is a great harvest buddy!!!!!
What school did you visit in Nebraska? I use to teach ag in Nebraska before moving back to the family farm! Now my 2 year old and I start our days by watching your videos.
You were in Aurora! I live there!
Send some of that rain south it has been so hot and dry since July.
Good job, Ben Johnson.
Wait, that doesn't sound right.
Cut! Becky likes Zach.
SKOL
Maybe Ben is his real name and Zach is just the name of the character he plays as the Millenial Farmer.
No Ben Johnson is his real name.. He uses Zach Johnson when he plays the millennial farmer! 😂
Ben Johnson has a fast Subaru and is also from MN.
I farm to the west of husker harvest days three miles
one of are coops just put up another 900ths bu bin,leg and tower dryer know he have around 4 million bu storage withen 10 miles of my farm
Around the world and back in one video. Even had time for some dirt track action. We needed to see a little of that. The car on the trailer just wasn't enough.
Knock knock. Whose there? Zack. Zack who? The guy unpluggin the load out
Lights: you should see the Florescent tube replacement LEDs
Thanks for the video. Hope you filmed getting the grain unstuck.
