The Blue Collar Creative podcast with both you and Erik (The Big Swede) was the most informative video I’ve seen in several years of following Larson Farms. You and Erik were the most open and honest about your TH-cam Chanel. I felt more close to the both of you and the farming channel you have created. I’m so glad that your family embraced Erik to work through your operations to eventually secure land and use your equipment under contract until he could afford equipment for his rented land. With both of you being 29 and friends I look upon the Larson family and Erik as being one happy family. We have a relative that just completed a Mechanical Engineering degree and if Eric can handle that through graduation, he is one mechanically smart young man. The Larson Farms and Big Swede Farms have been my favorite farming blogging channels for years. Keep up the good work and give us at least 3 a week and we will be happy. I’m personally from South Alabama, about 75 miles north of the beautiful Destin Beaches in t h Panhandle of Florida. When I get so excited sharing my views of your operation my friends can’t imagine a south Alabama guy interested in farming in Minnesota. Once they look at a few videos, they get hung too. Again, thanks for your history on the Blue Collor, please keep up the good work.
Hey Guys , I have farmed in the Uk for over 45 years and enjoy watching your take on farming in the USA , different for sure but enjoying the videos ... cheers Mike
Chet i used to build grain bins and service all parts of the grain bin system There is an art to it and you and your team get a rhythm going and it just happens. You both know how fast to move.
I’m a hay and small grain farmer. I watch you guys on you tube. It’s like watching a tv show that you are waiting for. Some one adding a comment to the video that spoils the future. Sucks! Like a friend telling what happens in a movie or a tv episode you have been waiting to watch. Thumbs up to you guys for doing what you.
Thank You Chet, Dougo, Eric, Brody and Jordan👏 One small field down, now the bigger ones, You guys got this🤞 Work smart, not harder👍 PLEASE Be Safe ALL of you🤗
I ran dump cart for seed corn harvest for several years and you gotta just about touch track to tire when unloading. You legit do have to brush up against the tire when you’re unloading on a crowned gravel road! Height helps when you gotta shoot a gap where you may dump some on the road too! Happy dump carting to you boys!
Glad to hear the yield is better than you thought. Hope you get the second Combine repaired quickly, so not to ruin you harvest. And I hope thy tell you what caused the engine to grenade, hopefully you can update us hear on TH-cam, I also love the Instagram, but the short clip leave me wanting to know more now!!
We had a Richardton 960 with a scale that we ran in dry beans and sugar beets lifted 25,000 lbs with out any problems, no problem hitting the center of semi trailer with the 4 cylinder lift and dump set up.
Chet, if you put a poly extension piece along the leading edge of the miller pro cart, it will assist you when you empty into the main trucks. What it effectively means is that you wont have to get so close to the trailer to unload.
I hope things turn around for you soon! Farming really does have its own special mix of challenges, doesn't it? One day you’re fighting the weather, the next it’s the equipment acting up-seems like there’s always something. But I guess that’s part of what makes it so rewarding, too. Hang in there, and here’s hoping for smoother days ahead!”
Hi editors, would it be possible to date-stamp the videos with actual video date? With the time lag between video and posting, it's sometimes hard to chronologically follow storms, events, etc., especially from a distance (Atlantic coast). Also Amy's channel sometimes adds tidbits and she posts more quickly. Noticed it on a Welker Farms video and thought it was a great idea! Also Laura Farms dates her Facebook posts in the comments. Hope you agree. Love the channel, keep it rolling❣️ Thanks
Id bolt a piece of rubber conveyor belt material to the lip of that dump cart for a chute extention and if you bump or rub a bow it wont hurt a thing...great vids guys 😀
As you teach us about the equipment have you already shared about cabin filtration in the combines? How much of that dust gets inside? We can’t see it on camera but surely some gets in. Thank you for great content. We appreciate your hard work and family friendliness
They covered why they stay with the 790s a while ago. Basically the 790s are all the more their dryer and leg can handle. I know that doesn't really answer about the demo. But guessing that's part of it, they couldn't showcase the machines full potential.
Used a dump cart many times. They are designed for silage, not beans. Silage probably weighs half what your beans do, works great. Also if the card is more than 6” from truck side, you are not getting close enough.
We use those tipping hopper a lot for grape harvesting down here in NZ. Some designs have a weak spot, the tilt cylinder ram speer. Always go for the biggest diameter shaft as the smaller diameter ones can have a tendency to buckle and fail! 3 inch is a good size! for the rod.
You could probably get an extra foot of space by extending that top lip/spout of the dump cart out and up. I would be adding some weights down low on the opposite side, then park the payloader nearby for the assist when Eric overloads her :P
If you would add some rubber belting to the side of the dump cart it would help you dumping in the middle of the truck and make it so you dont have to get so close.
Great to see another harvest start - must be quite nerve wracking with so much to sort out beforehand. What you need is a real time weight scale display on the side of that dump trailer like you had on the other cart so you can see how much has been offloaded. that would solve the how much to put in problem :o)
WOOT LOVE HARVEST TIME!! Just think long hours waiting for the rain and the first breakdown (the overloaded dump cart did not count, as it is JUNK! LMAO.
I run Oxbo Dump Carts for a vegetable company filling semi's and your Miller Pro Dump wagon has a max carrying capacity of 24,000 lbs. Oxbo can carry 30,000 lbs. And a Richarton has a 40,000 capacity. Just my experience running dump carts.
The trailer has. Cross bows adding an extension would make it hit them when the dump is at its top dump position. Only way to change it us put larger diameter tires on it to raise it up higher
That bean buggy looks and unloads like a peanut buggy except the peanut buggy extends over the semi more. I guess you could fabricate a side extension pretty easily.
Hey cheet, awesome start to the season. I'm curious if there's anyway to add a short lip to the the dump cart edge, that way the beans can slid out farther in the center of the truck. Best of luck on harvest fellas
The more I watch, the more respect I get for Eric. He is a true farmer and respects the land and I respect that
Good to see more of Big Sweede again. Can't wait to see the thoughts on the combine motor.
I appreciate the relationship between father and son and how the farm workers are treated like family. Good role models!

Does the big Sweed have his own channel?
Sure do appreciate your uploads! Beats anything on t.v. any day!
yes sir

Yep, that should be forbidden for employees to spoil the next episode
WHEN YOU THANKED THE LORD ~ I STAND w/YOU IN THAT STATEMENT !!!!!!!
Thank You Chet, Dougo, Eric, Brody and Jordan👏 One small field down, now the bigger ones, You guys got this🤞 Work smart, not harder👍 PLEASE Be Safe ALL of you🤗
Congratulations your Daddy would be so proud of you.
Have a safe and bountiful harvest. God bless
Thanks Dougo
Every video i watch here amazes me how much knowledge it require to run a farm and the equipment it take to run them. Bravo America Farmers
"I love how peaceful this farm is. It feels like a slice of heaven. 🌾✨"
Big fan of the channel, you folks are one of the most interesting farm channels, look forward to every new video!!!!
Chet Dougo Eric Broodie and Jordan great job thank you for sharing and your time
He explains things on what he is doing. I haven't farmed in several years. He takes the time explaining just what he is doing
Glad to see the yields much closer to what you expected.
The farmer's prayer. Love it
It was cool seeing the new bins progress. And the new grain carts in operation. Great video guys!👍❤️
Wow Chet! So glad to hear you got 2800 lb. You guys worked your tails off to get that yield! Congrats!
Really enjoyed this video! It was both entertaining and educational.
Thanks for sharing the ups and downs.
Good to see the harvest starting
Chet you are a very hard worker and your dad is fun to listen to have a safe harvest God bless you all
Eric, you're doing a great job.
Thank you Erik, I wondered why the dump cart. Your explanation of avoiding another auger made sense.
Swede nice job you didnt spill any yet. Guys be very safe out there. Nice to see that small bin going up.
Dougo's harvest words of wisdom!!! Great episode fellas
That dust was bothering me and that was before you said something! Thank you guys
Awesome video guys. Thank you very much
Thank god that helps with all the pain and water this year let’s pray for more good news to come Please be safe in the fields guys. And god bless
Always enjoy your videos guys much love and respect thanks for sharing ❤

Awesome News. Good yield is the answer.
That was a good view because I could see nerves and excitement in Chet’s face. That was a good yield for the first field.
Well done, well shot, well edited. You managed to passed the stress along quite well
glad you have the much safer sure steps on the roof,, the old frost covered narrow angle iron steps were "exciting" on windy days!!
Glad to hear the yield is better than you thought. Hope you get the second Combine repaired quickly, so not to ruin you harvest. And I hope thy tell you what caused the engine to grenade, hopefully you can update us hear on TH-cam, I also love the Instagram, but the short clip leave me wanting to know more now!!

Patience is a virtue
Hope your harvest season goes well. Mines gone the crap already. If its not raining, equipments breaking... the joys of farming!
Chet posted on Snap a video of Brody's combine with a blownup engine. Block split in half with cylinder sleeve outside the engine.
Ya. It’s not going good for them. Brody’s combine sent engine parts to space.
Was that the combine that was randomly leaking oil?
@@America-First2024No, the slightly used (200 hours) one they traded for last fall, didn't use it until this year.
I hope things turn around for you soon! Farming really does have its own special mix of challenges, doesn't it? One day you’re fighting the weather, the next it’s the equipment acting up-seems like there’s always something. But I guess that’s part of what makes it so rewarding, too.

Always enjoy your videos, Chet. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Be well. Victor (Arkansas}
Awesome start to harvest videos ❤
Great stuff on your channel. Lots of comments on how to farm. Thanks
That new bin.. Wow.. That's a big unit to jack!

Love the channel, keep it rolling❣️

Awesome video Chet. Doesn't seem that it should be this late in the year yet. Be safe running the equipment this year. 🚜🚜🚜
That dump cart was designed for eared seed corn. More volume less weight.
Great video, Chet and Larson Farms! Awesome work!!!!
Cool! Thanks 😊
I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting that coming! Totally surprised me.
I like it when they're combining I wish I could be there
Nice weights. I see a trip in Doug’s future. All expenses paid
Miller Pro misspelled Junk....love it!
Id bolt a piece of rubber conveyor belt material to the lip of that dump cart for a chute extention and if you bump or rub a bow it wont hurt a thing...great vids guys 😀
Dougo your the best
Dougo thank you for your sacrifice so we could be right in the action with ya! 😂 👍
Best video yet. Riveting.
😅no better place to be waiting opt a hurricane than watching Larson Farms Videos!
Good luck down there
They should weld a 3 ft extension to the dump side to get the distance needed or a piece of Polly and attach it
That was my suggestion too. Poly would be lighter. I suggested welding a metal plate but that would add weight.
Nice video. I like harvest season. Stay safe.
You'd have to raise the cart to do that. Yeah, it should have been built taller.
That much extension would take out the tarp Bows!
Yehaw let's go boy's, giddy up it's harvest time!
New Grain Bin... Awesome
Great stuff guys
Great video good to see y'all
Like how the SMV sign is still on the front lol. A lot of good it does there 😂
Fab video all the tension all the go
The coach of tomorrow 💯👍🏼😇®️
We need longer videos for harvest please 🙏
American Industry is amazing
Nice job BOYS
this video is great
Nice to see the cart working well -(minus that one refusal to dump)
Erik should get a mullet. 😌
It would be great if you could reconfigure the dump cart to mount to the tractor. Like a bull dozer bucket etc.
The roof is assembled first on grain bins buddy. We used to build big ones in one day.
Dougo we call that cow trails in our country.😊

That dump cart reminds me of running the boll buggy in cotton.
If you would add some rubber belting to the side of the dump cart it would help you dumping in the middle of the truck and make it so you dont have to get so close.
You found the limits of your engine for sure!
Found the limits of one that wasn't assembled perfectly.
@@lynwessel2471not really. Rapid disassembly is pretty common with those 13.5l engines
Great to see another harvest start - must be quite nerve wracking with so much to sort out beforehand. What you need is a real time weight scale display on the side of that dump trailer like you had on the other cart so you can see how much has been offloaded. that would solve the how much to put in problem :o)
What are black beans? First I've heard of them. I'm in central Illinois, uh, black dirt heaven!!!!!!
U guys are a brave bunch of folk. Good Luck
Mexican dishes use them.
WOOT LOVE HARVEST TIME!! Just think long hours waiting for the rain and the first breakdown (the overloaded dump cart did not count, as it is JUNK! LMAO.
Chet!! Watch out for that air tube 😂
Dougooo…mate, down here in OZ , that is a Good track to a top campsite. 👍🇦🇺👍
Be safe this harvest
new add on option for the Miller Pro,
the Chet Body Scoop
sweet
Put a elivator and connect the sylos together with cat walks . Catwalks will give a way to get around up top plus add more strength in a storm
I run Oxbo Dump Carts for a vegetable company filling semi's and your Miller Pro Dump wagon has a max carrying capacity of 24,000 lbs. Oxbo can carry 30,000 lbs. And a Richarton has a 40,000 capacity. Just my experience running dump carts.

I have an idea for the grain cart: you attach a weight under the grain cart which you can move from the middle to the side and back.
That bean buggy looks and unloads like a peanut buggy except the peanut buggy extends over the semi more. I guess you could fabricate a side extension pretty easily.
Hey cheet, awesome start to the season. I'm curious if there's anyway to add a short lip to the the dump cart edge, that way the beans can slid out farther in the center of the truck. Best of luck on harvest fellas
