Love to hear about Doug's dad and Granddad. You don't know how fortunate the generations that followed them are. It was obvious each preceding generation allowed the next generation to step in without hesitation. I know many incidents in my neighborhood where the fathers treated the sons as no more than hired men. I see the addition of Brody as another step in adding another branch of the Larson family. I hope Randy's son also takes an interest in the farm.
I hope y’all are making millions. Don’t ever apologize for your success. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Love the new toolbox, shop, bins, dryers, etc. Keep on keeping on!
Oh, Dougo, LOVE your memories & I remember those $6 corn days back then! That lil old wagon really puts things in perspective up against the new tool box. Can't wait to see Dougo on Toby watch duty again! Thanks for another great video Chet!
I know I speak for everyone when I say we love the history lesson and the flashbacks of what used to be! I come from a very small farm and it never got bigger than that. So neat to see your progression.
Seeing the $1,000,000 ‘s of dollars worth of equipment you have now it’s humbling to see that not too long ago you worked out of a kids wagon for your tools. Good things come with hard work....the younger guys in your shop I know respect how far Larson Farms has come Doug O. Hope you can hold it together with the crazy prices we’re seeing now. Things keep going up you’re going to need $10 corn.!
When Chet said we didn’t even have an impact back then I just about spit my coffee out. When I was young on the farm a ratchet was a luxury. A tool box was a red steel thing that you had to dig thru to find the wrench you needed. Of course I’m 75 so that was like the dark ages. Any way I now own 2 impacts and a rolling cabinet although much smaller than yours. You guys keep doing what you do and we’ll keep enjoying the content and the people in it. 👍🇨🇦
A suggestion for labeling your new (and existing) tool box drawers... Buy some rolls of "Roll-N-Cut Flexible Magnetic Tape" (1/2" wide, 1/16" thick, 15' long, around $8/roll on Amazon). Cut it into 3-4" lengths. Either directly label them with a Sharpie, or create labels with a label maker and stick them to the magnetic tape strips. The magnetic tape then sticks anywhere on any drawer, all while letting you reorganize the drawer's contents at will at any time. Works very well in my experience.
My hats off to all the farmers who TH-cam especially after October 5th when i had my heart attack and was dead for 23 minutes now I can't drive the big trucks anymore I can count on chet big swede zack Dougo Welker farms an Tony fast you all kept my spirits up and im glad you're all friends and cut up with each other almost forgot coal the corn star
Thanks Michael i watch him to i have some brain damage from what happened to me but try to do my best it's permanent but I have god and my family and my church im doing my best the doctor said I was a miracle but I said no God was my miracle 🙏
@@jameswilliams-fr2tp you keep up those spirits and you'll do just fine. 🙂🙂🙂 You're not the only one , I've been in a wheelchair since 2006 so I just watch from the side lines also. I grew up on a farm but we didn't farm it ourselves, my father had a mechanic shop there working on small gas engines and bigger diesel engines. It was really my thing so I left and ended up with my uncle doing anything & everything pertaining to semi trailers. I did painting, refrigeration, welding and fabricating. My passion was welding, fabricating & machining but it's kinda hard to do that with one arm in a wheelchair. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for the inspiration it's really been tough on me and my wife with prices of medications food and now gas and i not being able to provide like I was doing im not one to ask for help I did start a gofundme page that was useless but got a little help from church and friends that were very helpful i wish I could just get back to being me on the road was my happy place now I just sit at home praying for a new government that cares about people like us 🇺🇸
Luv the Dougo Dap! My father was a master mechanic with Pratt & Whitney. I have his tools and will be proud when the day comes that I hand them down to my sons. They don't build'em like that anymore. You can see where my father engraved "Falcon" our last name on each tool. Great memories and many engines, hours, and miles were traveled on account of his drive and dedication. God Bless
Brody is a perfect fit for the farm. He’s clearly extremely capable and best of all, his sense of humor compliments you, Eric and Dougo! Mad respect to your Dad, Randy and your Grandfather for decades of hard work and sweat to build a successful farm and provide a better life for you and future generations of Larson’s. Love the new tool box but I loved that you showed the old wagon and told the story as it just exemplifies how hard work pays off in the long run. God Bless🙏
The biggest green and yellow tool box I have ever seen in my life... let's get some Larson Farms decals on that box right away and keep the Big Suede away from it... he breaks everything! Let's get the bigger 14 ft model next year! Stor-Loc® is one of the few companies that does not use nylon rollers in their support system. Only Steel Ball Bearings and heat treated steel rollers are used providing consistent, lifetime drawer performance.
That tool box is sweet, but I even choked up a bit when Dougo rolled out the wagon. I love getting new tools, but those old ones really are something special; especially when they’ve come down through the family.
funny to think that a couple of farm youtubers now make up my favorite youtubers, it's just farmers being down to earth that I love, without jumping on all the new trends like almost every yt'er is doing now. Keep up the good work guys!
Well Chet, I'd recommend that you put the swivel wheels on your new toolbox on the ends and the non-swivel ones in the middle so it's much easier to move around the shop. Greetings from Belgium Keep up the great videos!
Had the same thing with tools when I was young with my Dad. Then I went to mechanic school and got a big tool box and filled with tools. Now being on the farm again it is so much easier to work on things and much quicker.
I love your videos Chet, Doug-o. The reminiscing into the past when the younger generation realized the “struggle bus” his parents and grandparents went through, when your children appreciate what his family went through. Priceless God bless you all.
Love it, love it, love it, when Dougo goes down memory lane. Especially, farm stories, back in the good old days. Now, if we can get the others & grandpa to tell some of their stories.
What I like most about the green and gold is that it’s my Packers colors and I’m so proud of you for being brave enough to have a lot of green and gold on your farm being in Minnesota. Go Pack Go!!
Hey! They bought a salad bar! @ 15:00 + first split second thought. Thanks Dougo for clarifying about having more tools and the bigger ones on the old shop wall.
In most all farming communities there are cafe's where the old timers hang out for morning coffee...would be a good place for a video. Also, thank you bankers for your infrastructure support of high grain prices.
It may seem silly, but I really enjoy listening to the Doug telling Chet stories about how farming use to be when the Doug worked with his Dad , Chet's Grandfather...
Go big or go home…… You guys have done so amazingly well. Keep up the the great work many hrs of fun watching but it’s all hard work. NW Ohio Paul. 👍👍👍👍👍.
Hi Chet! Congratulations on your new tool trolley! That is a huge step forward for sure. With that being said, organization is everything in a storage unit that size. If I may recommend using Kaizen Foam in your drawers to organize all your tools. In addition to keeping them organized, you can instantly inventory your drawers for missing items. As an aircraft mechanic, this is of supreme importance to us. I believe it would serve you well too. There are videos on TH-cam about it. You can get the foam in various thickness from Amazon. Good luck with your project! All the best!
Thanks for a real fun video. It was interesting and enjoyable and some neat things to add to the operation. First of all. Dougo it is most interesting when you talk about the old days. Really enjoyable hearing how things were years ago on the farm. Enjoyed seeing the old tool boxes on the wagon compared to the brand new tool center box. I personally am proud of your operation as how far you have progressed thru your hard work all the time. Take pride in what you have as you got it by good farming methods and honest hard work. You and your family deserve everything you have in your operation now days. Wonderful farm family Dougo!!!!! The Honda with the tracks is a go getter. Neat machine with the tracks and new lighting system. Will be a great machine for all farming seasons. You will use it more than you think. Neat upgrade Chet and Brody. The toolbox-wow!!!! That new tool box is a beauty. Love the John Deere colors. You can move that box anywhere you need it in the shop. That box will hold a lot of tools and equipment. Super addition to your operation. About it for now. Once again, really enjoyed the stories about the earlier days at Larson Farms. You deserve all you have achieved thru honest hard work. My compliments to all of you !!!!! Proud of your operation!!!!! You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. Chet, you enjoy the snowmobile trip to Colorado. Have a good time. You deserve it. Dougo , looking forward to your filming next week. Know you will make it interesting for us. Go get em. Thanks.
Chet very nice tool box. The little wagon that your dad used a few years back is very cool as well because farm are not the most organized people. The reason they are not is because there is only so much day light in a day. Sometimes you have to update the hand tools just like the field tools. The video larson farms make are some of the best. I would put larson farms in the top five and I mean that. Have a good planting season.
I’ve had that same Craftsman set in the back of every truck I drove for the last 30+ years. It just got replaced this year and retired to a rolling cart in the home garage.
We did not have a "shop" , we did have a place with a concrete floor where some things could be pulled inside. there were tool boxes attached to most of the various pieces of equipment and each one had a collection of what was needed the most. the baler had sheer pins, and the two wrenches needed to tighten them and a grease gun. the mower had a box with mower sections, rivets and the thing to squish them and a hefty hammer, punch and chisel to knock out the old rivets. It also seemed like most everything was either 1/2" or 9/16" wrenches or sockets. I am guessing that 10mm is the metric equivalent now days. The new tool box sure looks nice!
Doug you are lucky to have those young bucks with you! They do that stuff and you get to use it. I was always by myself and didn’t have any young blood helping me. You are blessed. 👍✌️🇺🇸!!
Love the wagon tool box setup reminds me of the 60s when I was helping in a stock car crew that is about all we had and no power tools back then. The new toolchest you will love as we have that type in the V8 team setup. The only thing is remembering where you put the tools in the chest from the start. Great to see Doug telling how it started.
So great when Douggo talks about the old days. Kids do not know how different it was. Like working on all the equipment out side in the dirt and wind and not inside on heated dry concrete, walls and lighting. We farmed over 1100 acres in the 60's and worked out of a two car garage on our machinery. Our best wrench sets came from Supersweet Feed points to finally to get a new wrench set and socket set free. Otherwise we worked with random tools my dad bought at auctions off the hay racks and usually the tools were in what was left on a corner of the rack with what did not sell with all to go.
Find a place the fish bite . In Minnesota? Some of the best fishing i ever done in my life was in Fergus falls just 40 minutes from the farm . Best catfish you can eat are from grants mill
Love to see you got a store loc toolbox we are just 20 min from store lock head quarters and we were the first one to get them we love them actually on the website if u see a row of deere color tool boxes thoes are ours love the vid
I’m about the same age as Doug. I’ve always had nice organized tools. Not my Dad! 5 gallon buckets full of everything except what ya need! For Christmas last year I bought him a really nice, albeit Husky roll around box. He has about 1/8 of his tools put in it as of last week. Tells me that it doesn’t matter. He knows where my tools are!!
We recently doldrums our Polaris 900 with crew cab and tracks. We have multiple pictures of it stuck in snow! Many times we couldn't use the winch to get out due to the cable being iced and frozen. So we sold the machine
I haven't heard the hanyak expression in a quite a while. I think for this honyocker it was 2017 the last time I strapped two sticks to my feet. We used to go from the time the lifts open until they closed with my wife and children. Now it's a half a day and I'm good. Found out traffic back into Denver isn't bumper-to-bumper at one or two like it is at 4:30 and later !
I would spray bright yellow enamel on all tools for the new toolbox station\workbench so that all tools with yellow paint belong to the new box and all other tools belong to the other toolboxes.
Awesome ATV!! That will be so useful around your farm. Also awesome new toolbox!! They are actually made about an hour north of where I live. Now comes the fun of buying lots of new tools to fill it up!
Remember selling beans for $4.36 a bushel out of the field, highest price of the year!! Sealed corn at $1.85 a bushel, summer time to pay seal loan, $1.87 against the corn with interest, sold it for $1.85 to cattle feeder!! I could have forfeit it n haul it to elevator for $.12 bushel!!! Couldn't help but make money!! Not!!
When I was a kid back in the early 60's , we were pretty poor , with a 2 seater outhouse , drew water from a hand dug well , and all bathed in a washtub in the middle of the kitchen floor . I say all of that that to tell you this . We didn't call the dumps dumps , we called them " The Shopping Center " , because we always came back with more than we took . Scrap iron to sell for extra money , lumber , you name it , it was there . Even found a brand new ten speed bike , and all that was wrong with it is that it had a flat tire 🤔 . I didn't know just how poor we were until I had a family of my own . Every family around us lived the same as us , so we didn't know any other way to live. 🙏❤🚜
The name you used for the guys at the end of the video is a name my dad used for me and my brother when I was their age. That was a long time ago. Love the video.

Great to see Chet and Dougo interacting and reminiscing about old days really enjoyed this video 👍👍👍👍👍
It's been a while since I heard the word Honyock used, brought a smile to my face!
I hope y’all are making millions. Don’t ever apologize for your success. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Love the new toolbox, shop, bins, dryers, etc. Keep on keeping on!
...and paint the damn fuel tank!
Millions in taxpayer subsidies
@@MrHurricaneFloyd boy you got that right.
What an asset Brody is to the farm. It seems like he can work on anything. Keep up the great videos have a safe spring!
Oh, Dougo, LOVE your memories & I remember those $6 corn days back then! That lil old wagon really puts things in perspective up against the new tool box. Can't wait to see Dougo on Toby watch duty again! Thanks for another great video Chet!
Judging by his personal vehicle it seems as though Brody specializes in converting a 5 bolt to a 4 bolt wheel hub.
LOL
That's a funny right there.
Yes. We learn alot with life's lessons. He is just bring it to the table.
Thank you for the laugh!

Wow you must have been lucky. It had paint left on it! The one we used didn't have any on it. But it is out in my garage full of old bolts.
Bah back in my days we used our teeth! Atleast us who had any left.

Never forget the beginning. And past on that important history. My Dad's pocket knife is in my pickup!!!
Can’t beat the craftsmanship that went into to making the older tools and they were made to last. Great video

Love it, love it, love it, when Dougo goes down memory lane. Especially, farm stories, back in the good old days. Now, if we can get the others & grandpa to tell some of their stories.
I am 30 mins from Kankakee. That's awesome. Wish I would of known of them before I bought my box. Also are weather isn't great either
What I like most about the green and gold is that it’s my Packers colors and I’m so proud of you for being brave enough to have a lot of green and gold on your farm being in Minnesota. Go Pack Go!!
Now that's a tool box! Considering the size of the equipment you're working on though, it's a good fit and colour combination.
Farmers having fun. Work to play, play while working.
The last sentence from Dougo is a midwest saying if I ever heard one. Boy it did bring back memories of when I was a kid.
Keep those two tool boxes! A good reminder how far you have come and how hard you worked to get to today👍
Love everything you put out in video but I really enjoy Doug's segments. It's always best to never forget your raisings!
I always love the Dougo stories from the past. The tool box story is another example.
With the boys gone it would be a great time for Dougo and Randy to do a history of your farm, including all the old equipment you once used
Well Chet you are moving up in life you got a UTV and a new tool box, you are set to fix anything. Be careful on your trip.
18:00 Kankakee.. "City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie! Now it's famous for tool boxes!
Hey! They bought a salad bar!
@ 15:00 + first split second thought.
Thanks Dougo for clarifying about having more tools and the bigger ones on the old shop wall.
That stor loc chest is the best! They are made about a half hour from me and they are built way heavier than anything else!
In most all farming communities there are cafe's where the old timers hang out for morning coffee...would be a good place for a video. Also, thank you bankers for your infrastructure support of high grain prices.
It’s not the size of the box that matters... It’s how you work your wrench!
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put out.
Really love the old stories!!! Thank you for sharing❤🤠
It may seem silly, but I really enjoy listening to the Doug telling Chet stories about how farming use to be when the Doug worked with his Dad , Chet's Grandfather...
You guys have a great, safe trip to Colorado. The Honda is looking great on tracks.
Thanks for sharing the old times ,i remember packing tool boxs everywhere !

Loved that story you can’t ever get rid of the tool box history of your farm there hi from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day
I really enjoyed this video. 😂 It was hilarious. I’m 70 and I can relate to all of this. Lol. Cool video 👍👍👍❤️

would love to see a video on the history on the farm, and the road to succes you guys enjoyed, having this much equipment and all
Chet you will love the tool box they are awesome they are made here in my back yard good people great video as always stay safe on your trip chet
Lots of room for the Packer Logos on that sweet tool locker! Massive.
We did not have a "shop" , we did have a place with a concrete floor where some things could be pulled inside. there were tool boxes attached to most of the various pieces of equipment and each one had a collection of what was needed the most. the baler had sheer pins, and the two wrenches needed to tighten them and a grease gun. the mower had a box with mower sections, rivets and the thing to squish them and a hefty hammer, punch and chisel to knock out the old rivets. It also seemed like most everything was either 1/2" or 9/16" wrenches or sockets. I am guessing that 10mm is the metric equivalent now days. The new tool box sure looks nice!

For Christmas last year I bought him a really nice, albeit Husky roll around box. He has about 1/8 of his tools put in it as of last week. Tells me that it doesn’t matter. He knows where my tools are!!
We recently doldrums our Polaris 900 with crew cab and tracks. We have multiple pictures of it stuck in snow! Many times we couldn't use the winch to get out due to the cable being iced and frozen. So we sold the machine
Love it when Dad talks about how it used to get done
I haven't heard the hanyak expression in a quite a while. I think for this honyocker it was 2017 the last time I strapped two sticks to my feet. We used to go from the time the lifts open until they closed with my wife and children. Now it's a half a day and I'm good. Found out traffic back into Denver isn't bumper-to-bumper at one or two like it is at 4:30 and later !
Have installed tracks on an old Honda quad. Ran it in a Swamp with water up to the bottom of the motor oil sump. Never got stuck with tracks.
Makes you appreciate what you have now! Lots of us went through the same cycle..
Good looking tool box
Chet I have the same Midland system in my Jeep. You’ll love it. Plenty enough range for ya.
Great video. I like the tracks on the Honda, looks like fun. Bigger equipment bigger tool boxes.
Godspeed and safe travels as you go to Colorado and back home.
I would spray bright yellow enamel on all tools for the new toolbox station\workbench so that all tools with yellow paint belong to the new box and all other tools belong to the other toolboxes.
Awesome ATV!! That will be so useful around your farm.
Also awesome new toolbox!! They are actually made about an hour north of where I live. Now comes the fun of buying lots of new tools to fill it up!
Time to buy another 1000acres to help stock that tool box!
Correction They Didn’t Give You Guys Anything period, you guys Work Hard For Your Money.
Remember selling beans for $4.36 a bushel out of the field, highest price of the year!! Sealed corn at $1.85 a bushel, summer time to pay seal loan, $1.87 against the corn with interest, sold it for $1.85 to cattle feeder!! I could have forfeit it n haul it to elevator for $.12 bushel!!! Couldn't help but make money!! Not!!
My grandfather work the same way as you Dougo he farmed 88 acres his workbench was a tailgate of the old Chevy or a hey wagon
I’m with you Dougo, still have my first carry around tool box but now I’m up to 4 roll around boxes and could probably use another.
When I was a kid back in the early 60's , we were pretty poor , with a 2 seater outhouse , drew water from a hand dug well , and all bathed in a washtub in the middle of the kitchen floor . I say all of that that to tell you this . We didn't call the dumps dumps , we called them " The Shopping Center " , because we always came back with more than we took . Scrap iron to sell for extra money , lumber , you name it , it was there . Even found a brand new ten speed bike , and all that was wrong with it is that it had a flat tire 🤔 . I didn't know just how poor we were until I had a family of my own . Every family around us lived the same as us , so we didn't know any other way to live. 🙏❤🚜
The name you used for the guys at the end of the video is a name my dad used for me and my brother when I was their age. That was a long time ago. Love the video.
Love the toolbox. Packer green and gold!
That's a badass tool box guys.
