Old fella that has now passed on at Kyle used to say "best work out of a gallon of gas used on the farm was in an auger". Thought about that fine gentleman every time I filled mine up.
My favorite ones on our farm are the smaller Frankenaugers that have been 'modified'. Hauling home any new shiny piece of equipment is such a glorious day because it doesn't happen very often. It's like the queen is coming for tea. 😂
Every town has that one auger, who covertly descends into the farmer’s yard whilst the farmer’s auger is away at Bingo, and gets serviced by said farmer. Every. Dang. Week. You know who you are, Auger Annie.
@Jilli Jigs - oh boy.... you may have read a bit too far into it hahaha. Can QDM suggest switching to Kinsmen radio bingo to help the problem? Ya just need a radio and a dabber.... Take care friend, QDM
On the other hand, there are also the Auger Amy’s who, despite undue care & attention by their farmer, can be spotted in other local area farmer’s yards during curling bonspiels, Farm Progress Show and Agribition. While the farmer is away, the auger will play...
Quick Dick McDick Radio Bingo, you say?... I am only familiar with the Saturday Night Polka Party. Must research this method of bingo that you speak of.
Eh boys we got a lovely cousin of the auger Annie show up in the yard this winter. Beautiful voluptuous two handled squeeze a throttle 10inch flighting with an easy pull start automatic choke. Oh I love my nose rubbin Eskimo ice auger.
I think maybe you guys have to fancy of augers that constantly roam from neighbor to neighbor you shouldn’t have to stop curling or playing bingo to keep an eye on your auger. It should want to stay in its own yard unless said farmer lends it to a neighbor in question when he came back from curling to find his auger missing.... just sayin “pretty augers that attract attention need protection” (quote of the day)
I remember a time when we didn't have all of these attachments and accessories with our Augers. It was just you and your Auger, toiling away for hours on end, getting sweaty and dirty, cleaning out bins. It was so hot sometimes, you'd just pour water over yourself instead of drinking it. At the end of the day, you'd lovingly bring your Auger back to the yard and take care of it. Lubricating all it's parts, making sure its tires were okay and changing the oil...even an occasional new belt...if your Auger was working real hard for you. Yep...there was a simple beauty to it back then. Now you got all of these accessories making it easier to clean bins and load trucks. Hell, the new Augers are supermodels compared to the old ones. Standing taller and reaching farther, it's now wonder the old Auger is sheepishly standing off in the corral. They feel inadequate and useless in the shadow of their larger, newer replacements. Then the day comes when your brand new Auger fucks up, or ya pile it into a power line fucking the electronics. That's when you realize that you've neglected that faithful old Auger, sitting in the corral. So you resurrect it from the purgatory it was in, to find that it's still a faithful old Auger, with a little bit of coaxing. Realizing the error of your ways, you clean it up, putting it with the other new implements that you use on the farm. Even though your old Auger is dwarfed by the larger, shinier new equipment, you know that the Auger will be there...ready to use when you need it. Then again...it's a fuck-load quicker when you can load a truck in half the time! Hell, I used to pick rocks with a stone-boat and pony...but that's a story for another episode. Thanks Quick Dick! Awesome love story!
Reminds me of the stories about gramps and grandma scoop shoveling a model t full together. Then a 6 inch /Tecumseh speed king entered their relationship...and grandma had more time to do her thing...bake wash garden babysit cook ...you know..fun times Edit...out of 12x12 shiplap wooden flatbottoms....that now store fire wood, 1940-1980 autoparts and squirrels.
Bin full sensor? In my day, that was my eyes, at the top of the bin watching. And when the bin was nearly full, it was a quick trip down to close off the gate on the truck and empty out the auger, with no spillage. One year I took an especially fast trip down when my foot caught the rope for the cap instead of a rung! And my first thought wasn’t was I hurt, but rather can I get the truck closed off before I spill grain. Please, everyone stay safe and well. 🇨🇦
My dad is 86 and farmed until he was 80. Im looking after the farm now and realized that he still has every auger he’s had this relationship with in the yard. I think the last one is a Farm King but the first one I don’t think even had a manufacturer name on it. I also realize how many near death experiences I had with all of them. Holy fuck QDM, I think you are the therapist that everyone has been telling me I should see. THANKS!!!!!
@Marlboro Mann - Sounds like a great family tradition of augers! You may not get the best results if you are using QDM as a therapist hahaha. Take care my friend, QDM
New subscriber, long time saskastchewan farm boy. You sir are the voice of the common man like myself. If you ever need any ford truck parts or a carb tuned on a grain truck call me.....just turn left at Fredricks old barn that burnt down in '32 then go down the ole Mosley grid 3km and it's right beside the buffalo field.
You got me laughing out loud Mr. Quick Dick! Thank you! Working from home during the Korona Kwarantine is just a little bit better thanks to you! Your fan in Ocala, Florida!!!!
I love a story with a happy ending. Better than the used auger goes back to the dealership, gets new parts and paint just to find itself a new farmer to move grain with.
This SO reminded me of a couple ( actually three) old augers my Dad had at our farm. So so funny. Thanks very much for a huge laugh and some nice memories, he’s been gone 12 years now, your video made it feel like yesterday. Cheers!! 🍻
My auger brings all the farmers to the yard, damn rights its bigger than yours, damn right its shinier then yours, you all know my auger is in charge, damn rights it large, damn rights I got over charged.
Laurie Berg we gots a pto driven one that you can’t run faster than an idle. 800rpm (idle) 900rpm (optimal Auger speed) 1000rpm way to fast and it self destructs.
Plug in auger, listen for buzz/humming sound Use belt to spin pulley on motor place belting bottom end of big pulley, drop top end of loop onto rapid spinning and wobbly pulley on live motor, count to 10 with your fingers for quality assurance
You forgot to show the #9 wire holding the Guards and Shield's in place after you lose the bolts when servicing or replacing Bearings . The reason for this is because of ceased up grease nipples and you said F!!! it they will last one more load.. also the farmer that has his first Brandt Auger with the original 1979 Briggs&Stratton engine with the Manual wrap on pull rope.... that takes a good half a day to get running. And only starts to get the F!!!ER running when the truck driver shows up....
Yes it’s always a joy to see the shiny new specimen, cables erect & flighting true, but when the cables sag, & the damn thing bangs louder than the door to the outhouse, you know the honeymoons over😢
Skjeren Kristjenson well its coming up two weeks of lockdown now, I dug a tree root last week ‘cos I got bored, then yesterday I removed all the balustrade off my balcony and now I’m sanding 35 years of paint on the handrail and posts. Next week I’m on tree removal I’ve only got about 10 now not 10,000 so should knock it in a couple days then chuck it through the chipper. Here the minister of health has been fired, he went mountain biking and then took his family to the beach, and we’re all supposed to be on lockdown. I’ve never seen so many unfit people riding bicycles that have sat untouched in the garage for the last seven years, so the comedy hasn’t stopped. Plenty of food, still got some booze, so couldn’t be better really. How are you and your family faring? Hopefully you’re out in the sticks and nobody much is around. Good luck to you.
May I suggest a bit of an addendum? The nostalgia of the good relation with auger drives the farmer to spend 2 months completely rebuilding the auger to its former glory. Making the auger a silk purse out of the preverbal sows ear. Meeting the disapproval of fellow farmer because they’ve all done the same thing. 😂👍
Hey Quick Dick this video is really slick ! Growing up on a farm myself I know some of the difficulties a farmer faces !! It would scare the shot out of a normal person. Keep them coming friend !! You make me reminisce about my old farming life, and make me THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THAT OLD, OUT DATED EQUIPMENT ANYMORE !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤜🤛👊👊✌ DAMMIT BOY now my F-word F-150 is making noise !! No fishing, just fixing ! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT !!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄✌🤙🤙
Quick Dick : You are a comedic genius ! I am not a farmer , but bought an auger to use as an exercise pole ! It is a "Cockshutt " ( know you love that word ) but use mine more as a "Cockopen" ! Love the Tuffnell stuff .
You forgot the “Saskatchewan Auger Party” sometimes referred to as a sausage party. I’ve been to a lot of parties that have too many augers and not enough carts. This happens a lot in the field at harvest time too.
Spent 5 years running a feed truck & trailer with 3 augers on it for unloading. Always stayed on top of the regular greasing, so it never let me down 2 tonnes into a 25 tonne unload. So remember, to keep the grain going, you gotta keep that grease flowing! (Kaci knows!)
A lovely heartwarming story of how life love and relationships! I laughed, I cried, I felt, for the first time since I first saw a shiny new Auger. I once wrote a song about "The Auger". But it wasn't like this glowing sentimental masterpiece. It was a song about A new farmer who had gone to extract the last of his grain to give to the benevolent "Turdeau" so he could feed his starving Minions. The worker has had a fight with his wife that morning over the love the wife has for the Turdeaus hair and is in no mood for the aggravation the auger is now giving him in getting the auger to work. It seems SOMETHING is stuck in the auger. He goes to see what is stopping it and finds what looks like a wedged long piece of old wood with part of a plaid piece of clothing torn up but still clinging to the wood. He reaches in to try to unlodge the piece and just as he does the auger starts up and catches his own unbuttoned plaid jacket in it's winding wonderment. It's at that exact moment the farmer realizes that it wasn't a piece of wood stuck in the auger it was a human arm. He struggles he pulls as hard as he can but the auger seems to have a life of it's own as it crushes his fingers, hand and just when it seems all is lost the farmer uses all of his might tearing his arm from the socket to free himself from the augers meat grinding force. He stumbles as he runs in a state of intense shock as blood is letting everywhere. He drives to the house where his wife is standing there wondering what all the screaming is about. His tears are mixing with the blood as he holds pressure in on his shoulder and frantically tries to tell her what happened. The wife jumps into the truck to drive him to emergency and huffs as she says "Ya dummy why didn't ya just TAKE THE DAMN COAT OFF!?" Ta Daa! Sorry for the graphic nature of it but it was an integral part of the tale. Too long I know. Yours is much better Quick Dick.
Nice analogy. Well done, as always! :) Never fails, put something sparkly (like Christmas lights) and she'll shine again! Sometimes the old auger needs patience, reassurance and for sure, a regular greasing! HA! Thanks for the laughter this morning. Always appreciated!!
QDM, I always enjoy your videos!! They're some of the few that I watch at normal speed to catch all the nuances you put in there. You definitely missed an opportunity as a director/actor/ad executive.
Bah ha ha ha. A manic bullet cup!! Oh buddy, you’re my hero. You are hilarious and say everything I’ve know for years as an active participant as a farm kid and watching my dad and uncles rig up some terrible fixes. Ha ha. Keep them coming. You are mint!
tarotfairyontheprairie LoL. No comment except to say I once tried to kill him by dropping the frozen water from the dog’s dish on his head. At least his friends and I laugh about it...
The times I can watch something good on YT before coffee are rare. Such is not the case with your videos. Keep up the good work! Now, to find me a cute little auger. Maybe one with a big black hopper bottom.... & before anyone gets their underoos in an uproar, my neighbor has a new J&M X-series grain cart & we get along like peas & carrots! Good day to ya! :vD
My father-in-law caught his foot in the auger and twisted it bad. My mother-in-law found him laying on the ground after she heard him yell. He was unable to walk but he was checking to make sure the auger was okay. Fortunately it was not serious injury but he did limp the rest of his life.
The old boy Eldon down the road had a 'Cockshutt scoop a second' that his dad bought new in 1702 or something. You could literally out shovel the auger and have to wait for it to catch up. But Eldon would ALWAYS say the same thing "she still works good"
"The farmer knows exactly how much the auger can take before it blows a shear pin, but just keeps pushing it to have fun." And then the stub shaft half way up torques off and, dear god, is it ever a chore taking that bugger apart to get it welded back up.
Always enjoyed a bit a Canadian humor, just found ya week ago QD. Surely you heard of show LetterKenny? Your videos are actually funnier, maybe just cuz I'm a farmer??? Keep it coming. I rang the bell. We all could enjoy a good laugh!
@Grow The Farm Up - oh boy, it is quite an honour to be compared to Letterkenny - thanks for watching my friend, hoping all is good on the farm! Take Care, QDM
@@QuickDickMcDick yeah letterKenny is kind of a cult classic down here in the Midwest of America. Some people watch the show and don't see the humor in it! If you can believe that! Others i've introduced to the show and explain to them how to appreciate the very subtle humor, and sometimes not so subtle humor of the show. But they are a full-time production television show with directors cast crew scripts etc, as I said I just found you a few weeks ago, all I can say is just don't forget about all this little people that enjoyed your videos along the way when you are either the next prime minister of Canada or on your own show! We are doing some things down here in the Midwest of the US changing the way we are farming and utilizing our regenerative farming practices and growing higher nutrient dense crops we are working on changing the value chain of commodities and how they are bond and sold based on the nutrient density not just the pound or bushel and this goes for all crops grown in our hemisphere. We are waking up and learning that we can grow our own seed that we can work directly farmer to farmer and directly to the consumer with farm-to-table and direct farm to consumer models. It is many of the ridiculous regulations and incompetence that you regularly hilariously point out in your videos that has really given many of us farmers no other choice. There is a new market being created right now of direct to consumer higher nutrient dense food ingredients, It will change the paradigm from the commodity value chain. Just wanted to give you a heads up QDM I know you get this all the time but give my channel a quick look and you will very quickly see what is coming down the pipeline. My channel is pretty much brand new but I just had to start it and once you check it out you'll understand why.
l grew up on on my grandparent's farm. l don't recall having an electric auger, gramps always had a smaller tractor that he hooked up the PTO to the auger and let 'er buck from there.
What do you do if you find out your neighbour (‘neighbor’ for U.S. viewers) has been secretly ‘using’ your auger... while you are in the city (Regina) getting more seed? Even worse! He returns it (in the middle of the night - obviously).... all gummed up! Oh the crazy struggles of a Farmer. Thanks for the video.
@Kellington Link - QDM is honoured that you would use Canadian spelling in this comment. If your neighbour returned your auger all gummed up, hopefully they had the kindness to at least ensure the tank was full.... hahaha great comment. Take care y friend, QDM
Always good, comments too. Learned a lot about Augers. Don't know but it looks like you might use a lot of different Augers. Maybe they have names and personalities like english or trouble. I had a car called Frankenstein. Dreaming of a sequel.
Old fella that has now passed on at Kyle used to say "best work out of a gallon of gas used on the farm was in an auger". Thought about that fine gentleman every time I filled mine up.

Don't tell my Auger, but sometimes I take the neighbours Augur out for a spin when it's owner isn't watching..
Mike Dancy we won’t tell your auger but make sure nobody tells your neighbor about your affair with his auger. That could be awkward. Lol.👍🏻😎⭐️

Damn it. Now I have to buy an auger.

Great video, I think the same could be said for hay elevators, nothing drain oil can’t quiet down!👍👌

Nice analogy. Well done, as always! :) Never fails, put something sparkly (like Christmas lights) and she'll shine again! Sometimes the old auger needs patience, reassurance and for sure, a regular greasing! HA! Thanks for the laughter this morning. Always appreciated!!
Thanks for dropping in Jo Ann!
QDM, I always enjoy your videos!! They're some of the few that I watch at normal speed to catch all the nuances you put in there. You definitely missed an opportunity as a director/actor/ad executive.
Wherever you find your material keep it coming- its great lol keep up the good work Quick
Nowadays farmers just rent an auger when they need it.
My favorite by far
Hmm... I have a suspicious feeling that you’re trying to say something. I can’t quite place it though.
PS, good work, thanks
Genius. Again. 👍
Bah ha ha ha. A manic bullet cup!! Oh buddy, you’re my hero. You are hilarious and say everything I’ve know for years as an active participant as a farm kid and watching my dad and uncles rig up some terrible fixes. Ha ha. Keep them coming. You are mint!
Magic*
True I feel the same way about the 40 year relationship I have had with my husband.
tarotfairyontheprairie LoL. No comment except to say I once tried to kill him by dropping the frozen water from the dog’s dish on his head. At least his friends and I laugh about it...
Such a good story! Glad for the happy ending! (***sniff***)
Used to wear a plaid shirt exactly like that one in this vid, Quick.
I love my old auger wish I would of kept better care of my first one
No wonder farmers have huge graveyards for their beloved augers
The times I can watch something good on YT before coffee are rare. Such is not the case with your videos. Keep up the good work! Now, to find me a cute little auger. Maybe one with a big black hopper bottom.... & before anyone gets their underoos in an uproar, my neighbor has a new J&M X-series grain cart & we get along like peas & carrots!
Good day to ya!
:vD
well done
Can't lift with em, can't lift without em
My father-in-law caught his foot in the auger and twisted it bad. My mother-in-law found him laying on the ground after she heard him yell. He was unable to walk but he was checking to make sure the auger was okay. Fortunately it was not serious injury but he did limp the rest of his life.
The old boy Eldon down the road had a 'Cockshutt scoop a second' that his dad bought new in 1702 or something. You could literally out shovel the auger and have to wait for it to catch up. But Eldon would ALWAYS say the same thing "she still works good"
@Bruce Kirk - hahahaha!! any comment with the word "Cockshutt" in it is a great comment!!
Take care friend,
QDM
"The farmer knows exactly how much the auger can take before it blows a shear pin, but just keeps pushing it to have fun." And then the stub shaft half way up torques off and, dear god, is it ever a chore taking that bugger apart to get it welded back up.
How's she goin'? I love a story with a happy ending!!! LOL Take care!!
Thanks for always dropping in sir!! All the best to ya!
How is this also true about trucks hahah. Awesome vid QD.
Services are frequent! Lmao!
Oddly entertaining Thanks.
Always enjoyed a bit a Canadian humor, just found ya week ago QD. Surely you heard of show LetterKenny? Your videos are actually funnier, maybe just cuz I'm a farmer??? Keep it coming. I rang the bell. We all could enjoy a good laugh!
@Grow The Farm Up - oh boy, it is quite an honour to be compared to Letterkenny - thanks for watching my friend, hoping all is good on the farm!
Take Care,
QDM
@@QuickDickMcDick yeah letterKenny is kind of a cult classic down here in the Midwest of America. Some people watch the show and don't see the humor in it! If you can believe that! Others i've introduced to the show and explain to them how to appreciate the very subtle humor, and sometimes not so subtle humor of the show. But they are a full-time production television show with directors cast crew scripts etc, as I said I just found you a few weeks ago, all I can say is just don't forget about all this little people that enjoyed your videos along the way when you are either the next prime minister of Canada or on your own show! We are doing some things down here in the Midwest of the US changing the way we are farming and utilizing our regenerative farming practices and growing higher nutrient dense crops we are working on changing the value chain of commodities and how they are bond and sold based on the nutrient density not just the pound or bushel and this goes for all crops grown in our hemisphere. We are waking up and learning that we can grow our own seed that we can work directly farmer to farmer and directly to the consumer with farm-to-table and direct farm to consumer models. It is many of the ridiculous regulations and incompetence that you regularly hilariously point out in your videos that has really given many of us farmers no other choice. There is a new market being created right now of direct to consumer higher nutrient dense food ingredients, It will change the paradigm from the commodity value chain. Just wanted to give you a heads up QDM I know you get this all the time but give my channel a quick look and you will very quickly see what is coming down the pipeline. My channel is pretty much brand new but I just had to start it and once you check it out you'll understand why.
That was excellent 🤣👍
I am new here, but dude..... You crack me up! 😂
Thanks for dropping in my friend!
QDM
And even Old Blue can,t haul enough cash to cover the cost of separating The Farmer from The Auger and Little Augers!!
I’m hoping you didn’t miss an anniversary or something. LOL!
l grew up on on my grandparent's farm. l don't recall having an electric auger, gramps always had a smaller tractor that he hooked up the PTO to the auger and let 'er buck from there.
Awesome and so true
Awww. The Honeymoon Phase. I remember when the wife had shiny paint and tight bearings.
HAHAHAHA. Loud and true. we have about 3 in various conditions. Hard times to get belts for the ones that are older though.
What do you do if you find out your neighbour (‘neighbor’ for U.S. viewers) has been secretly ‘using’ your auger... while you are in the city (Regina) getting more seed? Even worse! He returns it (in the middle of the night - obviously).... all gummed up! Oh the crazy struggles of a Farmer. Thanks for the video.
@Kellington Link - QDM is honoured that you would use Canadian spelling in this comment. If your neighbour returned your auger all gummed up, hopefully they had the kindness to at least ensure the tank was full.... hahaha great comment.
Take care y friend,
QDM
Brilliant answer. As are most of your videos. Thanks again for the video.
At least he didn't talk about the relationship with his spreader
Our old auger worked good when new then I think it sat for a year and was unhappy, so now you run 1 hour and fix for 2 hours lol
Hey my dad going pick up a new anger
Lol
Always good, comments too. Learned a lot about Augers. Don't know but it looks like you might use a lot of different Augers. Maybe they have names and personalities like english or trouble. I had a car called Frankenstein. Dreaming of a sequel.
Wow! For a dude who is not married, you sure have some great wisdom on relationships!
Well if I didn’t know better I thought you’re talking about your wife!! 🤣
