If you put a geotechnical fabric over the existing driveways and a new layer of gravel on top of them it should help clean up your yard. The geotechnical fabric separates the soil from the gravel and keeps the mud to a minimum. Love the show. Keep up the great work.
My first job in 1976 at 14 was working at an elevator in Dike Iowa! One of my jobs was to be lowered into silos on a harness with a respirator and grain shovel to level off the corn and beans!
Hey Zach I love your videos, I was just gonna tell you that my friend FaceTimed me to show me he seen you at the farm show in Texas. Well thanks for saying Hi it’s really means a lot to me! Keep Up The Good Work!!
I farm in Bakersfield, Ca. In the beginning of this video around 1:18 could someone explain what this is. I'm guessing a moisture probe of some sort possibly? Ive never seen one a day in my life lol. Thanks.
It costs money, but if you put larger rock, like 2-4 inch quarry spall down first on your driveway and yard, then top with 1 inch crushed clean rock, that should make a massive difference in how muddy your yard gets. But sometimes it just can't be helped. I do know if you put straight gravel on top of dirt, the mud will never go away
Our 9870 does the same thing if it sits a while. Seems to help if you just turn the key on without cranking it, there’s a lift pump that runs and helps prime it all up. Even cycle it a few times. That usually does the trick on ours
When you put the new dryer in have them set it high enough to drive the skid steer under for cleaning season. Or at least high enough to walk under. Also tile the driveway to allow the water to drain off. Bet Randy would love to tile the driveway for you. Have them check the block heater it might be bad or weak.
When I saw that "Robo-Probe" "thingy," the grain elevator used to test your semi's corn it brought back memories of my high-school years. My Dad worked for an outfit that went around and tested grain at elevators and barges for moisture and foreign material. Of course, they didn't have automatic probes back then. Just long poles they had to use by old fashion elbow grease.
Your dry humor and sarcasm works well!!........Probably why you have so many subs......Good job!,,,,,,Very entertaining even when you are sick!! 😀....Thx!!
Zach im just getting over some kinda sickness. Wasnt covid or flu but man have i coughed a lot. Feel better. Get ur rest and pound the vitamins down 🚜🚜
Hi Zach I’m Floyd the kid who emailed you and I just want to say thank you for responding that really made my day and the advice you gave to the dogs that were watching was brilliant to them you sound like Einstein (even though they don’t know who Einstein is)
You may want to pour some Heet in the fuel tank of that combine. When it gets really cold like that of course the fuel can gel up and if there is any water in it just a little bit that will cut the fuel pressure down to against nothing. Its really irrating but Heet usually takes care of it.
Hi Zack. Loved the video. Just watched Ag With Emma on her channel on the 29th of Feb. She demoed a new9rx. The tractor she drove had no DEF. Higher hp than the new case. Pulled a big drill and other implements up to 14mph. Bigger cab and other improvements to the tractor. Demoe time for you.
Winter has been very mild in NE Washington too. We had about 6" or so of snow in January. I typically rack about 80-100 miles of plowing with my Ranger around my house and shop each winter. This winter I've plowed one evening, then the next day, only doing about 6 miles of plowing. I honestly don't miss the plowing, but the lack of snow in concerning for water and wildfire season. Last summer there were two nasty fires near Spokane, WA that started the same day.
I think that's one of the most expensive movie sets a production has ever used. That main character Zach seems knowledgeable about the farm. He must pay close attention to the script!
Homeschooling and Farming are a perfect fit. One of the best decisions my wife and I have made. Nothing better than learning and working side by side as a family.
You may want to put 3/4 clean stone down the clean stone gets pushed into the mud after a few times its will pack like concrete.ive done that in driveways and parking lots
I don't want grain in my fuel. Just costs more in repairs. They need to find better ways to support farmes than making all our moters loose fuel mileage and clog injectors.
Talking about dogs chasing tires my Uncle had a dog at his greenhouse operation that bit a forklift tire as it was moving it went around a couple times but came out okay but never went near the forklift again feel better.
Who could ask for better farm hands than the two you have working for you in this video? They don't complain about their pay, show up on time, don't leave early, eat whatever lunch is provided, don't back talk, laugh at your jokes, always back you up against strangers and such, and are generally your friends. Plus, they cuss the machinery when you do, too. However, they can get distracted occasionally and chase a rabbit or go off and dig a 🕳 hole. But, have you ever seen a worker who doesn't do that?
I grew up on the farm south of Guderian’s. I was picking corn right by County Road 28 and we had this stupid dog that was a car chaser. Yep that was the end of that dog.
What was the turn around time to fix the 780? Keep up the great work and thanks for all that you do…Watching from Western NY closest I’ve came to the farm was helping out on a cow farm and seeing a couple combines up close…they are amazing…Stay safe and you have a new subscriber here!
Congrats on the new Duramax truck! I have a dually similar to one of the duallys you have in your fleet. Side note, as of 8:40pm PST on Friday 2/23/24, this video is #35 on Trending here on TH-cam.
You are very lucky to have a dealer you trust. Here in Colorado, our dealers change names every couple of years. Right now I guess they are known as 21st-century Equipment. They have been the worst as far as service of anybody in my life! They have no competition and it shows. They couldn't even install a battery without f-ing that up! Count yourself lucky!
Seems to my experience with 21st century as well. They need to just hang the sign outside that just says " you are just lucky we are open" it is super frustrating
Zach, you and I are both snowmobile guys. As much of a pain in the ass it is to move snow, it sure would be nice to take the sleds out for a ride. No snow around grand forks
Love the long line of JD tractors. Always like seeing green & yellow in the fields. Hope you feeling better soon! Greetings from Texas.🌞 (We had a high of 87° in central TX today. Not bad for February!)
First time I got tested for COVID years ago it left me with a nosebleed for 12 hours so I hear you about the eye watering bit. Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Thanks for doing what you do despite that. Seems almost antithetical for a millennial. :)
Some of the troubles you had last year on that 9870, ought to get rid of it, and replace with a 790, then you need to partially enclose that dryer and hopper, so you don't have the mess you have to clean every year, good luck to you!!!
Don't know if you have have noticed or not but the milder the winter the longer, colder and wetter the springs are. Good luck with that if I were you I'd make any plans you can to get ready for that.
Indeed, as a seasoned enthusiast of cold starts, I must say that this particular instance was truly exceptional, ranking among the finest I have ever encountered.🎉
Either is pottant stuff. He got in the tractor and turned the key on but being cold it just cranked and cranked. The next time he reached on the side of the steering column and pushed a button and the tractor started right up. He said "Thank goodness for Ether".@@Drew-in-NoDak

I will take responsibility for the way this winter is. I bought a new tractor and snowblower in April of last year for my birthday.
I thought it was the opposite, if you buy a new snow blower, it won't snow at all! Lol
@ke6gwf exactly. It's barely snowed at all in the upper midwest
I like the way you open your videos talking to your dogs. Nice touch. Keep it up!

Why do you dump the air bags on the trailers when dumping your loads? I have seen others do that and never understood why.
If yo don’t the air bags will go right to the top because the air can’t drain fast enough. It may tear the bags if you dont

Teat weight, moisture content, foreign material, temperature, etc. Good question!

try using 3inch rock next time you gravel the yd i use it for my drive i run my semi on and it works great plus when it does rain it washes clean
Don't think there's a whole heck of a lot of rock that big in them there parts of Minnesota.

Thanks for the video even when you feeling bad.. Get well soon Zach.
Hope your feeling a lot better by now can't wait to see that new grain bin dryer being built
You need to put fibre cloth down before You put gravel down. Fibre cloth lets the water through but keeps gravel/stone on top.
