Seriously one of, if not the best farming channel on youtube! I really do look forward to every upload. The dynamic between everyone here is perfect; you guys compliment each other so well. Keep it up, guys!
Install a small air line from a solenoid on a timer that hits the lens with a blast of air to keep the lens clear. Use the same thing that they have for air compressor tanks, has a timer and can be adjusted for a short blast.
I’m truly amazed by modern farmers! You guys do it all and it just blows my mind.
Thanks for all the hard work you do.
I choked on my coffee………but had to laugh when Chet asked…….”would you put your meet in there”.!!
With that final drive oil, put the bottle in hot water first to get the oil a little thinner. will go in WAY easier.
Very good tip!!! Thank you!
@@garyprice8490 No problem, I've been on that struggle bus before.
Once the oil is warm you can also use a scientific wash bottle.
When you squeeze the bottle base it pumps the liquid from the bottom up to a small 90 degree nozzle.
It's a lot easier than turning the bottle sideways to put it where you want it. We used them to spray solvent where we wanted it during cleanup at a printing press.
Good choice on the virnig pallet forks. I make them
Couple things, we run 8rt’s in sand and with a lot of roading. First I know you will not like it but reduce speed on the roads. Next the tracks on the machine look like there are wore a little bit. Had issued a with a machine puking out bogeys and not staying Aligned. Put new tracks on and problem was fixed. Last we put a 3/16 spacer behind the bogey to push them away from the guide lugs. Just remember friction causes heat. Hope that helps
All track tractors are not built for speed case quads and deeres.. thats why people have axle seals out and boogie wheels flying apart they wont last pulling a grain cart or fertilizer spreader at high speeds.
The spacers behind the bogey wheels helped a ton for our narrow tracked 8345rt tractors.
Heat and rubber don’t mix, correct.
The thing is that they are treating there case quads no differently if not more harshly than the 9rx and are not having the issue. The big Swede spent hour upon hour at pretty high speed spreading fertilizer with a massive spreader at the rear and a ton of weight. The 9rx has been through nothing like that. It’s got a pretty easy life most of the time planting for alot of its hours. Imagine the repair bill if it did what the 600 quad did every year.
You should get a sthil power broom. That would make claning the bin easier.
Chet like buying stuff!!
Great video Chet Dougo and Big Swede and Brody
Thanks Chet , Eric and Brody .. Good Job 👍
I would have a telescoping pole and put something to wipe the lens off. So nice to work on clean equipment. Dougo is the hardest worker on the farm.
I did enjoy that video and I like how you took two different videos that's what you need to do take two or three days and put videos together to make them longer I like how you did that and I do enjoy watching your videos they just need to be longer half hour 30 minutes thank you for your videos
CHET, I love watching your videos, and I want to tell you how incredibly impressed I am with the amount of knowledge you have. The equipment is incredibly expensive; some of it does not seem like it should cost what it does. I guess that's no different than the career I was in, firefighting. Thirty-some years ago a fire engine would have cost between $80,000.00 to $100,000.00. Nowadays, a similar piece is costing $700,000.00. The bigger trucks, the ones that have ladders on them, are costing $800,000.00 to as high as 1.4 million. The cost to run a business is just crazy out of this world. BLESS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 you, Dougo, Erik, and all of your family.
good times for farmers are coming so keep the work it will pay
We used to use the strait spray on the seed formers to apply starter, seemed that more fertilizer ended up on all the planter parts. Switched to “totally tubular” application directly in the seed trench. Doesn’t burn, we really like it.
Busy times. It's good you have enough guys that you can get lots of jobs done at once. Brody looks like he is going to be a great addition to your team. I see the shop foreman Toby is on duty too
9:20 Dougo had that look in his eyes there, you sure must be glad you had that camera on Chet, who would know what could've happend to you
Always enjoy your videos. Preparation for planting is one of the many important tasks.
Thanks for another great video Chet. I’m always checking for a new one. Wish I was there to help.
Great video Chet!! Good to get a glance of Toby!! Brody seems to stay busy, but I hope this doesn't mean we lose Eric!
I'm not sure how your soil works, but we grow in soil that ranges from sand to heavy clay and we have alway put our fertilizer about 1/2" directly under the seed and our start right on top. We have been doing this for 30 years and have alway been happy with our emergence. We have played with rates between planting and side dressing depending on how wet it is and if we applied liquid manure but we have never had a problem dropping the starter right on top of our seed.
Have a great day.
Throw talc powder on tracks between field moves, I've seen straight ones all the starters we put on we used straights
I make short pigtails to reverse direction of the fans and pull the dust down and out the fans. Your leaf blower will be much cleaner to work with.
so much stuff you never think of if you're not right in the environment doing it. thanks for the education !
Limited results last year was our first using starter and we put it right on seed and had better emergence than ever before
Love having the pin staying with the skid for moving equipment. Kept having a problem with making everyone understand it stays with the skid for the purpose of convince. Ended up being my pops “the big boss “that just grabbed it whenever. Instead of arguing about it!!! I just used some 1/4” cable and attached it to a spot with plenty of slack!!! Amazing same pun been there for 4 years now!! Haha
You can get small wipers for camera housings , also have washer squirters .
Try a “Power Broom” in the grain bins. It’s a string trimmer power head connected to a 24” wide drum with rubber flaps attached around the outside. I use one to backfill ditches when I trench for irrigation systems. Cleans the dirt right out of the grass. Works good on concrete too.
wouldn't want a combustion engine inside a grain bin full of flammable corn, would work great with a cordless trimmer tho
You can get battery operated ones.
Probably not IIG rated. This is a dust explosion waiting to happen.
@@johnwilliams1091 , a brushless motor will work.
@@davidraaf3865 , This would be considered a Class 2, Division IIG area, and the equipment used here should either be rated for use in the area, or intrinsically safe. The equipment for this type of work has to have those designations on the device and certified for use in that area. The potential for the explosion is extremely high, and the affects can be devastating. Everything required to cause the explosion is there, enclosed space, combustible particulates suspended in the air, and an ignition source. I have personally witnessed the power and affects of this phenomenon and I suggest you don't take this lightly. Brushless motors still spark, and unless they are sealed appropriately there is no difference to that tool than lighting a match in a refinery.
Dude if I would have done that to my Dad I literally would have been picking myself off the ground I can promise you that.
)
Nice looking hat Chet. Glad I got one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you replace the bogy wheels make sure you drive the front and back idler on a block will give you more slack to replace bogies
Put a 2x4 under the fmidwives like you did then put another 2x4 between the track and the rear idler then drive up on it. This will push the belt down making it easier to change the midwheels.
Enjoyed the show
I have been running my in furrow liquid directly on the seed for years. After performing a ton of flag emergence tests (usually on every variety every year), I've not seen an issue caused by liquid on the seed. That being said, I've always used a low salt fertilizer like 3-18-18. I would get a little concerned using 10-34-0, as it has a pretty high salt load. Most years you probably won't see a problem, but if you get into a spring where you have dry weather and dry conditions surrounding the seed, you could run into some seed germ issues because the only moisture that seed takes in, is from the 10-34-0. As a result the seed soaks up a lot of salt and then kills the germ. It's probably not a huge concern, however in the right scenario, you have the potential of seeing an issue.
I lol when I seen the Milwaukee leaf blower yea it makes more dust but yup its way nicer and easier than the broom! Love the video guys like dad and I on our farm..
Hope that has a brushless motor in the leaf blower
good show
You could have asked Millennial Farmer to send ZK Mastertech along as he was 'nearby' doing exactly the same work on the planter.. Great video again Chrt.
On the starter fertilizer. Here it is mostly 2 inches to the side and 2 down. But we have sandy soil and run 20 to 25 gallons to the acre. If you put it on the seed it will smoke it bad. I have sold a lot of Sunco openers in the last couple of years. I will say it’s not a cheap date.
Good luck with your year
RK products for gauge wheel arms, closing wheel frame and seed tube guards pay for themselves and last forever compared to factory deere. And be a good thing to remove your parallel arms and drill them out and bushing them while still salvageable. Arms with bushing will last as long as the planter frame
Our JD tech always says if the inside of your track is clean you need to throw some talc in there. Dirt dust is needed for lubrication on tracks and if there to clean they overheat and delaminate.
Eric dreaming about Chet lol and Chet talking about 2 inches I swear your videos make my day or night whenever I watch. And Toby was wanting some attention at the beginning of the video Mr. Chet pay attention to him.
T- shirt idea - Vote for Dougo!
Chet Eric Dougo Broodie great video loved it Chets explanations were dead on as always the green machine is costing a lot of money don't no if I would buy one the red is still thinking about it seems to me buy watching all the videos from the other channels I have the greens are like you buy they are in the end twice the price with programs and all the reason I would get one is if some one selling one at half price fully reconditioned and new tracs but is only a dream for me.as always never miss a video thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍
Noticed our case openers wobble as well when putting them on in December on our bean planter.
Great stuff Chet liked the different stuff u guys did.👍👍👍👍
Thanks for another great video Chet. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure. Thanks Chet.
Wow. This video had a lot of projects on it. You and Eric and Brody make a real good team to work on this equipment.
Dropping the feeder chain opened somebody’s eyes I bet. You all got it back in there without too much trouble. Good going.
The new track wheels you put on the tractor seemed to go not too bad. Not cheap though.
Got that job done.
Did not see Toby in this video. Am sure he was around.
Dougo using the leaf blower in the bin seemed to work fairly good. But the dust, was bad but he had a mast on. Someone mentioned using a battery powered sweeper of some kind. Not following that suggestion????
Chet, you snapped that mask on Dougo ‘s face. Bet that hurt a bet. Lucky he did not get you back on that one.
About it I guess. You all where really busy on this video. Busy time with spring around the corner.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
We use Totally Tubulars they put it 3/4 of an inch below the seed and it works great.
Dougo looked straight up like Bane from Batman!
I always put a 5/8 bolt in my bench vise, then put the opener on the bolt and tighten the nut, slightly. Then give the disk a spin to check for trueness. At the same time, I take a grinder and give a SLIGHT touch to the edges. Some times they get a rolled over edge and it wears off quickly, then your spacing is too wide.
Great video and team work for the shop
Always interesting, boys!
Cant help with corn but we run straight nozzles on wheat and canola
We do have issues with burning canola if the rate is too high
But wheat loves as much as you can give it
As your thinking goes give it straight to the seed so it has it straight uo abd helps with germination
Come on man, you need to change 4 wheels and fill the fuel in 10 seconds if you want to harvest at Daytona!
Awesome info thanks guys.
What's really fun is when the new opener bearing is not square and ya cant gap it right
Good show Toby. #!!!!
I put just Riser on with totally tubular stainless steel puts it on just in front of the seed and just below the seed haven’t had any issues.
Great video good to see y'all again
Chet, whe we replaced ours we dud a spin test before they went on the planter. We found a lot of the disks wobbled and they went back. Your lucky if only 2 were bad. I think we sent a dozen or more back and still had to send a few more back. I think our dealer wasn't real happy. I'm guessing there's guys that don't check them and figure it's good enough
I've seen where you should keep the spacer washer with the row unit. John
Good video - ty ty
A business card is 2"x3". Use a 3rd business card instead of a tape measure. When removing a spacer washer. Place it in the outside of the bearing so it stays with the row.
What's a barring? Lol
@@mikekleven8130 bearing. Dam phone
Put those disc blades on a bolt and spin them in the vice and place a wrench or something next to the blade and watch the gap as u spin them
Very interesting stuff. You guys do a great job. Dougo was so funny when he came in with that mask and Chet pulled the mask back and popped it. Hilarious. 😂. Great video 👍👍👍❤️
Another awesome video keep the great content coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜 you guy’s never disappoint me when I watch your video’s. God Bless and Stay Safe
Ditto. Well said!
Eric must be soo jealous of Brody getting to spend time with Chet. Pretty soon he'll be walking around in the background with his shirt over is head trying to get Chet's attention.
I know guys who have used rain x on the camera lens and had good success with dust not sticking.
Dougo check if your leaf blower is safe to use in dust environment? Could end badly for you!
Yup one spark in that dust and boom Dougo is in the next county with his butt on fire.
Yep just like a grain Elevator explosion
I doubt there’s enough dust to do that, but I think think that it’s a fuel (Milwaukee obviously) which means brushless. Brushless motors don’t make sparks, the switch shouldn’t either. It seems very safe to me.
You should be using a anti static wipe on the lenses.
Like when dougo said set of belts
The person to ask about your seed starter application would be Bob Straight out of Boone Iowa. But I believe he told us that you should never apply starter directly to the seed
Am always amazed at ongoing costs!
awesome guys. great job. thank you
using your fingers to clean the cameras transfers oils from your fingers to the lens then the dust and dirt sticks more Esley you should always use a cloth to wipe with
My experience with the nozzles atleast in our soils, the split nozzles show a 2-3 bushel yield gain vs. putting it right ontop of the seed
Need to just run a 1/4" air hose from the base of the tower up to the cameras. Put a Y in with nozzles pointing at each camera lens and a glad hand end and a valve at the bottom. When the lenses get dirty you can just pop off a trailer line and give it a couple blasts of air to clear them off.
I always ran my starter directly onto the seed and had zero problems
Need to get a power broom from stihl would work better than blower in heavier corn
trick ! wipe them lens with an anti static cloth will help , the oil on you finger makes dust stick but there will always be Dust!!!
Tires look pretty good right now.
Never would have got the crop off last fall without tracks..
@@justthings6405 I think you're wrong. Tires float, too.
@@PrestigeWorldWidePWW
There is a place for both. If you are in area of dryness year after year, tires will work just fine. On loader machines, I believe tires are the way to go. If you are in heavy soils that are constantly wet and tough to work, tracked machines have a much greater ground contact area than wheeled equipment. The length and width of tracks cover a larger area than wheels do. This significantly reduces load transfer and creates much lighter PSI sharing than wheels can ever accomplish. Tracks actually work to float the machine over the ground rather than cut into it. Again, depending on your land and circumstances, both have an application.
Did Dougos orange deer slayer ever get fixed? I see the old blue one a lot.
Oh my…..Poor Dougo did NOT look all enthused for the face mask smacking!!
When you working on the row cleaner and the sound they made reminds me of the Taco Bell Commercial!!!! You could have made a great commercial for them!!
Team Dougo!!
We have put 5 gal/acre of 10-34-0 on the seed for 30+ years with no issues.
With their heavy ground I wouldn’t be afraid of it either, but I think the splinter was just as fast getting the fertilizer to the seed for pop up. The first roots are going to find it fast either way. We got sandy ground and the only time I ever had a problem with seed germ from fertilizer burn was in a real dry spring and I was putting 7 gallons of 10-34-0 on with splinters.
I never had any luck with the plastic dust caps>
Need to get a piece of conduit and wrap a microfiber rag around it and keep it in the dryer shack to clean that lens!
every time he says brody i think he specifically talking to me
When you pulled Dugos mask away should have caught the look in his eyes!
Damn. 20 minutes old and 5k people beat me already😂
I wonder if wiping down the cameras with a dryer cloth would help? It's helped me with static cling in a few different devices.
Such a good teacher Chet is... lol
Looks like more of an issue on the 9rx with the track only wearing on the inside, they might be off on alignment and making more heat which would burn the boggie wheels quicker.
Hey Chet love the videos keep up the good work! If you could show the flag mounts on the planter that would be awesome. I think it looks really good and was just curious how yall mounted them!
Try Rainx on the loading camera lenses
Wonder if you could use a portable air tank and run a rubber hose up to the cameras and just run a lil compressed air when the cameras get dirty. Make it easier for them to get cleaned quickly.
The only question I have is when is Northern chill gonna supply you with a Northern chill vending machine for water???
Making more work for yourself than what it’s worth. Amazing, you do most of the work on the equipment but don’t have a technical manual for the equipment.
That’s a nice dodge truck in the background
