- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2017
- Harvest 2017 rolls on...for the most part. Today we had a Major combine break down with our John Deere 9870. We also filled our 2nd grain bag while we dealt with the snow, freezing temps, and mud.

Technology is amazing. Back in the day we didn't have sensor to tell us the axle was broken! 😂
I remember no air conditioning. These guys quit when the A/C doesn’t work..
you did have a sensor. It was your lower back going OUCH when you got kicked hard by the vehicle bottoming out ;)
I guess the sensor was in the seat, we knew pretty quick
“The sensor that lets you know when the axle falls apart”... Hahaha. I hate that your combine broke but that line cracked me up!
This video is a great testimony to how much respect we all should give the American Farmer.
Don't know how you physically, mentally and emotionally handle all the trials and tribulations. But I thank God that you do.
I could never be a farmer...can't deal with the stress and sleepless nights. My dad was a small time farmer and when his combine broke down it was a major deal, might be a few days before it was fixed, usually because it was worn out outdated equipment. Bad weather, too much or lack of rain, hail, low grain prices, massive debt, cash flow problems, worn out machinery, breakdowns, etc. finally took their toll on him...massive heart attack at 53yrs killed him.
B William Harris it's not always so tough. We have good days and bad. Thank you!!
I would say every farmer in the world, even.
I assure you, this farming outfit doesn't have half the problems of most farming outfits across the country. There was hardly anything in this video equipment wise older than 10 years old. These guys are rich as fuck.
Jacob O Oh?
Every one of you farmers better be very proud of your selves ! It would be an honour to be a part of it all Thank you for all you do !!!
Thanks this means a lot coming from a sixth generation farmer who's family has been farming since the mid 1860's. Thank for recognize the handwork that the less than 2% of our population put in to feed the world on less acreage every year.
Appreciate the support, means a lot and makes those long hours into the night all worth it.
I agree! My knees and back are absolutely shot and I would still like to be a farmer for even just one day before my times comes. I could see myself at peace with the world waking up early in the morning knowing that my hard work and dedication was for the good of the people. A lot of jobs are pointless when compared to farming. Mad respect for all the farmers out there.
@@SenderBudYerGood thank u it really helps knowing some pepole care about what us farmers do
You americans really know how to make those repairtrucks! Here in Europe its just vans stuffed with random tools.
By the way, you have the best and most intresting farmtubing I have seen so far, keep up the good work!
20,000 subscribers in this video... now 712,000 subscribers... You've come a very long way Zach, love your channel and what you do!
Come from family of farmers on both my wife and my side. I am not a farmer but I appreciate you showing us how hard all farmers work. You are greatly appreciated for all you do. Thanks for inviting us into your world. Best of luck.
Seems like I heard of a MN family farmer won $1,000,000 in the state lottery......When asked by the local TV crew what they were goin' to do with all that money, the farmer replied, "Well, we're goin' to try to stay in business for one more year!"......kudos to the family farm.
Another farmer won $1,000,000 in another lottery and the reporter asked them what they were going to do. He said , "well, we have few bills that need to be paid. Maybe the seed bill, the fuel bill and bill at the local equipment dealer". The reporter said "what about the rest?" And the farmer said, "they are going to have to wait. It was only a million dollars!"
You know what the quickest way to become a millionaire farming is? Start as a billionaire . . . .

The broken body panel adds character. "Battle Scars"
2cylinderfarmer sure, we'll go with that!
MN Millennial Farmer just like a race car😉
2cylinderfarmer I don't like getting scratches on our race cars either!
It adds patina
Well aren't you just the smartest man in the world? I never mind when someone states the merely obvious like it's some sort of brilliant revelation. I do mind when they state the totally obvious in the same manner.
The turn around on that combine was something else! And people ask me why I prefer Green in the field.
I miss farmers. Lot of great memories from childhood and our small family farms in SD and MN. Some of the most wonderful, down to earth people in the world.
just found your videos tonight (AWESOME) I know nothing about farming, I'm retired and really enjoy watching looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. good to see hard working people
Thank you for helping feed the world and showing us how you do it.
Hats off to the Deere guys, getting the combine back on all wheels in the cold, out in the field.... Skills!
I just watched this video again & it was amazing at the end to hear you thanking your viewers for 20,000 subscribers in November of last year & then look down 7 months later & see that you have just a about tripled your subscribers. I think that is well earned & I will be waiting to see you hit 100,000. Thanks for all the great videos.
What a testament to the constant planning and changing of plans of farming to deal with the unpredictable. Quite a testament to the resiliency of your family. Good to catch a glimpse of your dad on camera! Love the editing and the humor in your videos. Thanks for making them for us. Stay safe out there.
My cousin and his sons farm. I find this channel very informative.
Good work, man. Wish I could help, but I sure do respect the resourcefulness you and your
crew have displayed.
Never give up! A sense of humor is a must,thanks for posting.
My dad has almost 600 acres in Alberta. This show makes me wish i lived out there and learned how to do it. He rents it out to the neighbours.
If you roll your 2x4s on the end of the bag under instead of over water doesn't sit on the bag and freeze.
A great response form the "Deere guys." That alone would keep me driving green.
Thank god there are still working men and women out there! Thanks for sharing your life with us and god bless you and your family
What a day. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug.
Great vid guys Smile More God Bless Stay Safe Guys 👍👍🌽 we’ve got done with harvest
Man.... a lot of combine trouble this year from a lot of farmers. Doesn't matter the color either.
A dry sense of humor is way better than none at all. You seem to handle everything well, and you must have one heck of a JD dealer nearby! Good job!
Farming 4G are you guys all finished up for the year. Looks like a pretty good year for cattle sales so far.
thats why my kubota/case dealer has 24/7 emergency contact wich he goes day or night,eveing,midnight and the deeres here are no 24/7
Should of got a case
Michael Mac Tavish John Deere has a 24 hour thing in Minnesota. They are out right now for me 10:30 at night. They are fixing my unloading auger motor for going in and out. They figure will be another four hours of work.
@The Farming Life steers aren't too bad this year at all, but the heifers are substantially lower for our area, somewhere around $0.25/lb at least.
@Farmer Cole do they charge extra for the 24hr service if after hours?
I just wanna say thank you to all of America's farmers. you provide us all with great food. the work and dedication you all put into it should pay off more. I wouldn't have a problem with paying a bit more for the food you all produce. again, thank you................
You guys have a pretty awesome Deere dealer! Amazing that they were able to fix it in the field in so little time.
400 acres left is only slightly funny because we used to make a great living on 400 acres total. A 4020 John Deere, a D19 Allis Chalmers and all 4 row equipment. But our days were just as long. Good job my friend, Live Strong.
Rawhide Adventures yes it’s to bad there couldn’t be 1200-1600 acre farmers across the country side like it used to be but those days are gone and the mega farmers are taking over
Dry since of humor is the best haha

Great vid. Those field mechanics are under rated. That's tough work getting out to a field working with large heavy machinery in the cold while the operator waits...and waits Thanks.
I watched one of your videos & remembered how hard it is to farm. GOD bless
My favorite channel. You do a great job!!
I look forward to a video of the corn removal from the bags. Nice recovery!
That is something else, I farm 320 acres in Ontario and I am amazed on what you do and remaining calm for the most part . Great for you and good luck
You guys are amazing- the true strength of the U. S.
Glad to be one of the 20k plus on your channel!!
Great vid as usual and even more impressive to see those 2 guys getting you back up and running in less than a day!
Keep up the great work and all the best from South Coast Ireland!
GoFish those guys busted their butt and made it happen!
GoFish what part of south coast ireland cos i am from south coast ireland aswell
Great video my friend! Really enjoyed. Glad to see the combine rolling again, I couldn't believe they fixed it that quick. Stay safe out there and hope the weather holds out so you can finish!
FarmingDreams same to you man! I was shocked when they had it going so quickly. Our local dealer is awesome that way.
Absolutely love this Channel. Thank you for all the hard work to provide essentials for us to live.
Have to take my hat off to guys who can work on a combine in the freezing cold and get it working again. I don't do it anymore but I was always on the corn cart or in the grain store. Loved that life.
Hope you replaced the axle break sensor too. Can't run without that.
Keep up the videos! Love watching them!!
This is like watching Ice Road Truckers. You feel really bad when something goes wrong, but it’s very captivating. Nice video of your day. Thanks for sharing.
This goes to show you how important good service is. Amazing they got that fixed that fast. I've never used the bags either but our neighbors have been using them for many years for corn & they seem to work out pretty good for them. Good luck on the rest of your corn harvest.
Just re watched this video, thanks for 20,000 subs huh?
Congrats on hitting 200,000!!
Wow!!! 22k subs, fastest growing channel on YT, thanks for the videos
The cooler guy things have exploded lately
120K within 2 weeks of your comment. Blew up quick.
Hate to see you're having problems but I know that's how it goes on any farm. Thanks for taking the time to share and I admire your calm demeanor. Not one cuss word when you rolled up on the lame combine! Impressive!
That was some pretty substantial damage, hard to believe they could fix it in the field, amazing
GOD bless our farmers. Damn hard workers!
Guys like him is what keeps america great
Dusty Freeman we're just 1 piece of the great American puzzle!
You do a great job on keeping your videos rolling and not stalling into one scene. Love 4Truth!
Great video. You guys are hard-working .. I can't imagine what all your dad's been through he's one tough guy.. Farmer's are number one..💪💪
Great video. Really enjoyed it. I think o commented on your insta or fb post about the combine. Seen the same thing happen to a case except he was going down the road in road gear we spent a day flagging traffic around him and patching the groves in the ashpalt it made. That guy was lucky he got it stopped right before it would of went over the edge of a steep borrow pit along the highway. People that are now farm folks don't realize when you have the amount of iron running everyday break downs will happen no matter how good your maintence is. Glad you got it fixed and running again
Great video. Keep them coming.
Who’s watching exactly 2 years later? Little snow on the ground in 2017 too!
Outstanding on a couple of fronts: (1) Getting the JD service people there quickly, having the right parts, and getting the machine back in service quickly, (2) Great attitude toward troubles. These troubles are bound in happen in some form, but response to them is what is important - "Just get it fixed so we can get back to work...." Those marching in the streets for 35 hr work weeks, not 40, those marching for !5/hr, etc need to follow the paths of several YT farmers. They could learn much! (3) Good video skills. Enjoy the channel...
That combine takes a lickin and keeps tickin, those Deere's are work horses, hats off to all of your family and workers for chuggin on! Be safe!
This is My favourite Chanel.
I'm definitely taking my hat off to The AMERICAN farmers for keeping food, owen table, and for ethanol blends for our petroleum products.
glad to see everything worked out ok and nobody got hurt. keep up the great videos. and thank you for the enjoyment.
Keep the great videos coming . Love watching your farm and all the problems and solutions.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love your videos!! Keep em coming!!
To bad about the combine. I cracked up on your $30.00 tie rod. I laughed and thought, yeah right, maybe the tax is 30 dollars. You are a true Farmer, great attitude, when things go to crud, you didn’t lose your cool, just have to get it fixed. Glad it came together as quick as it did.
You're probably close!
$30 to make, JD sell for $3,000
I love a good dry sense of humor. Mine is drier than most can handle. I hope the combine holds up good! I'll be in your state next Monday-Tuesday for work. I'm looking forward to driving around seeing the area in my off time!
reminds me of back when we owned a snow cone farm. Talk about a lot of work for very little return. We switched to raising tumbleweeds, and life has gotten so much better.
MegaJohnhammond I can see that. Makes sense.
I love how you say “we have ONLY 400 acres left
It didn't sound like a lot to me when we started that morning, but it hasn't gone very fast since then!!
With 2 combines work very quickly . Maxium 2-3 days
ComandoRO he only runs 1 in corn
Ikr!? It used to be really hard to grasp that area size, but then I spent 5 14 hour days working on a field this fall. You can build a small town on 400 acres!
Lol that’s all we farm in total. 3 quarters with two 1980’s white combines. Hoping to upgrade this upcoming season.
This is one of the best videos you have ever made
Wahlter 24 thank you!
A full on day...As said previously, glad I found your channel. I lived on a livestock/arable farm as a kid here in England & love the life..;-))
Wow that was pretty quick turn around on that combine. Awesome editing. Someone spent a lot of time preparing this video for us. THANKS
Looking forward to your next video!
Hard to believe you’re almost 400,000 two years later
Greta video, its hard to imagine snow this time of the year, farmers down here would freakout if that happened. My hat's off to you guys.
Good job man. I am brazilian and living in the USA for 7 months so far, I’m working in the farm in Hettinger ND. I like the way you talk, it’s easier than usual for me. I Watch all your videos to learn something more of farm stuff and study english too.
I like ur guys shop there looks very clean
That is amazing they got that fixed in 6 hours bravo John deere
We are a few miles north on the Canadian side. Able to do 4.1 miles an hour with a 8 row on a 9500. 700 acres in 14 days. Done for the year. Great video
Love what your doing I'm a farmer from up on northern Canada and done the grain bags for years they work awesome we fence them to keep the animals out and one thing to try is when you put the boards on the end of the bag use roll them under it give you a Better seal and less chance of water getting in
I'm hoping the axle on our 9770 don't break but we are out of the feild we got 3 inches of rain
20k you’re almost to 500k now 😂 time flys
534k atm i am watching video :D

I just re watched this congrats on 20,000 and now your almost at 500,000. Your the best farm channel I have seen keep up the good work I have been watching you since early 2018
Great video. Glad it was able to be fixed fast and back to shelling corn
Wow, that was an amazing ride you just took us on. I was sick to my stomach at the sight of the broken combine and excited when it looked like it might get fixed. If I knew the John Deere repairmen were that good in this area, I might have to switch colors. Thanks for sharing your experience.
RiverbendBicycles They're a big reason we stick with green...
RiverbendBicycles I'm just curious, how much did it cost to have the 2 J.D. guys come out and fix the combine, (total with parts)?
"The sensor that lets you know the axle fell apart" 😂🤣. Thirty bucks maybe forty 😂 Great videos.
I never leave good comments but I really enjoyed that video. I liked how you jump from shot to shot and got alot of different footage.
Funny, I've been around farms all my life and have never had the opportunity to participate in the day to day operation and everytime I watch this I regret never taking the time to learn. You are a very fortunate man. Most people would never even think about where most of there food n grain comes from much less want to farm it themselves. May fortune smile apon You and your family during the coming cold spell these next years.....JL
Thank you sir!!
Your into is as dramatic as the reality shows on the history channel lol that was awesome.
Just don't let a cable TV show take it over...they'll turn it into a steaming pile of docudrama crap. "If he doesn't get the combine fixed by sundown, they could potentially lose the farm!!!"
JCLawn51 that's what I was going for!! #nailedit
J Huck you mean every time the wind picks up you aren't almost bankrupt?!
B
J Huck im sure the repair bill by JD about made him go bankrupt lol. What's an emergency call cost? $500 to get the truck on site and $150 a man hr per man?
For some reason I find peace in this channel....
I love watching all your videos I’ve watched mostly all your videos keep up the videos and thanks for being pretty much the best farming TH-cam channel
Great video! I live about 45 minutes or so from you and have the pleasure to experience the same weather and watch the harvest around me go about the same as yours has...
Haven't watched this video yet but come on everybody let's get it together on this channel man this has been viewed 151 times and you've only got 11 thumbs up come on everybody those thumbs up means a lot let's help this brother out man he's too good of a dude not to support him all the way
Gotta Love Deere!
This also shows how amazing field mechanics are. That they are able to do a major job like that from a truck is testamount to the skill and ability of these mechanics
Huge Respect for you! Like your dry humor, it s very funny :)
when it rains it pours!!
Been through it all before and we'll get through it again!
That's why it's called farming if everything would go good everybody would do it. Hope you guys have a great day
“I’ve never been to prison by the way, either. That was a joke also.” Hahahaa
My absolute favorite farm channel on TH-cam!!
It’s crazy to think this was the first vid of yours I watched and now in only 3 years you are almost at 500K subscribers keep up the great work!!!
So, how often do you get to sleep in?
TheBertjeT I don't know a farmer that sleeps in. Especially in Harvest
TheBertjeT I have 4 kids on top of the farming. I haven't slept in since 1996!
MN Millennial Farmer You should try it sometime. It's pleasant ;)
Seems like all they do it sleep trying to combine and plow in the snow
9:03 add a little more style to it i thought
Malachi March sure, I'll accept style.
one thing i will say for sure is the quality of the video is awesome, thanks for putting in the time
6AM to midnight and then you still find time to edit and upload your video!! Thanks, you're doing an awesome job!
Best of luck getting finished! Here in NW Iowa we finished up corn last night at 11:30PM! Time for clean up!
