What sets your videos apart from all the other "farmer" videos is Becky's superb editing skills. So many of the other vids are disjointed, filled with obnoxious cover music and just not edited very well. Way to go Becky!
Adding my vote to this comment. Your videos are always "top shelf" product. Thank you!
Larson Farms is on par with Millinial farmer's.
The only 2 I watch.
Hear! hear! Well said
w/o his wife he would just be a babbling fool... :)
@@pinwizz69 Agree! Mike Mitchell is fun to watch. And the Welkers do a nice job. Ivers Farms in Southern IN is good too. But MF is the one I watch when I only have time for one. 💪
At this point it's just a matter of time before the two dogs and cat dog hijack the ranger, and ride off in to the sunset, they really do love to get ride alongs :D
LOLed
A remake of The Incredible Journey / Homeward Bound
I like your name Jim Dupont.
Will the dogs be using guns?
Spacers are there to increase the bolt length enough to get a "stretch" on the bolt when you torque it. The stretch is what keeps the bolt from coming loose! I actually designed the tooling that makes the bolts and spacers! Made in the USA! Made in Wisconsin actually!
Pressure regulators will frost over also
High usage of grain dryers will use more vapor than what liquid is making
There should be a disclaimer on this video that reads, if you are watching this video while dining in at Culvers eating supper, and Zach randomly says our pets heads are falling off, expect people to look at you weird when it looks like you are crying because you are laughing that hard. Keep up the great job and happy harvest
🤣🤣 my work is complete!
"I mean what are we doing here Harry?"
Best part of the video!!! I found myself laughing!
Thank you Becky! You do a great job editing these videos. Much appreciated.🎃
Yuuup Becky, you do a GREAT job editing Zach's videos - thank you !!,,
Thank you for explaining everything in laymen’s terms. None of my relatives farm any longer and I miss that type of life. Your videos and others that post give me my fix. Thanks Zach Becky Dad Kids, dogs and cat/dog for sharing your lives with us.
Wow! That performance brought a tear to my eye. Amazing vocals, perfect pitch. Just amazing!! It's a good thing for you if farming doesn't work out you can always launch your vocal career.
come on folks..Anna needs a ride in the combine...lets get this channel to 1 million!!
I CANNOT believe how much quieter the new blower setup is holy cow. Good deal👍
You can actually carry a conversation there on video no less and have it still be intelligible.
It's SO MUCH quieter! And the tone of it doesn't hurt my ears
So great, the sheer amount of content you guys are pushing out. I love popping onto YT and seeing a new upload from you guys!
The cat-dog must get into the cab. It is a warrior at heart.
For those of us watching in Celsius zones, 15F is near -10C. Becky if were bored with nothing much on a splash comment with the conversion would be cool. Oh and another top tip for you, tie a broom to your back and you could sweep as you rush around doing all the other jobs 😁
Thank you Mrs Millennial for editing these videos. You’re awesome and I love watching the videos.
I'm not even a farmer but I watch everyone of you're videos. You're day to day routines and quirks of everything going wrong and right somehow relate to my life. But great to see how you guys all pull together to get things done. Keep making the great and entertaining videos.
almost, ALMOST. Almost had the scene where the wheels came off!! Good thing there are so dang many there. WOW, you had a LOT of machinery working out there. Amazing!! Thanks Zack, for showing us how it works there. Great video. (thanks Becky)
Good catch by your grain cart driver to notice those bolts!
I love your dogs and their willingness to be with you.
Zach, your Dad mentioned Elbow Lake. My grandpa was married there in 1905. His dad is buried in Barrett Cemetery. There is a large plot there (Sethney), where several are also buried. His generation came to America from Vestre Toten, Norway (100+ mi. NNE of Oslo). I don’t know why I shared that, but, it felt good to do so. Enjoy it.
Everybody say it with me Veesteee Tootin, good hardworking Norweigan immigrants I'm sure thanks for sharing Math.
My Norwegian family ended up just NW of Fargo, I think they came from "Hegge" Norway. 3 brothers, 16 17 and 18. The two eldest died somewhere in central MN, on route to Fargo. Only the youngest made it. Thank you for sharing.
I remember going through Elbow Lake on the way to Fisher... Visiting the in-laws at the time. They should make a smaller dot on the map for Fisher, the little one they have on the map now makes it look big. Haha
Amazing to see what goes on in the field and behind the scenes, when the harvester is out in the field. Thank you for sharing what you do, truly have enjoyed watching these.
2:23 The look that Ditch gives you. 😁
Had a dual fall off my combine this harvest and dealer had to come out and put it back on, sheared all the Bolts off and they said it was likely that the wheel studs were loose from the paint on the mating surface of the wheel chipping away. They said they always grind the paint off on new machines or new wheels and they don't have any issues after that. Just something to take into consideration!
Zack the reason for long bolts and spacers is at spec torque the longer bolt will stretch more and provide a higher clamping force learned that in Cat service training.
On the farm, it seems like we always had at least one helper kitty that liked to hang out with the people...and demand petting while we were trying to get work done😂
Just a thought. If you mounted an air jet, operated from below, pointed at the camera from the side, you could blow off the dust when you need to see in your bin.
Plus adding camera's inside of the grain bin introduces another ignition source up in the area of floating dust.
Zach, if you want to know if a bolt is sae or metric, look at the top of the head. Almost any metric bolt will have a number cast into it, sae will only have dashes on them.
The happiness you bring to people who are sad is fundamental thank you
I'm so glad catdog got in the show today. 🤣
Regarding the wheel spacer on the wheel bolts... that so the bolt can be 1.5” longer than needed to stretch and provide more clamp load on the rim. (When properly torqued)
Eve 6 - Inside Out! Love that song
We had hopes of being done with corn this week. We only got about 20 acres picked today, and the bearing in the bottom of the vertical part of the unloading auger shelled out.
wrenching and hammering in the morning and I hope the bearing is readily available.
Always enjoy your videos. You are one of the reasons I started my channel
Spacers are used so a longer bolt can be used so there is more stretch length for more tension.
I like your dad a lot Zac. Your whole family is alright too!
Finally the combining footage I have been waiting for! Great stuff! Thank you so much for the coverage!
I had both left tires fall off the same combine a couple years ago. All the bolts loosened up and sheared off. It's a know defect on those S series combines. Got some crazy pictures from that incident.
The spacer on the wheel bolts allows more length between the threaded hole and the head so the bolt can stretch more and hopefully stay tight longer
Its amazing how great you sound singing with no volume
Sure do appreciate what you do and show us.
The spacer is there to create extra length for a longer bolt.
The longer the bolt the more stretch under torque the bolt will have. The more stretch it has under load the less likely it will back off and run loose.
But for some reason Deere struggles with combine duals staying on 🤦♂️
the spacer on the bolts is to allow the bolts to flex a little
the spacers on your combine wheel studs are to increase the effective clamping load of each bolt. in applications where short bolts are required, using a spacer and a longer bolt allows the bolt to stretch/flex more before before breaking. great videos, keep them coming.
Combine has bolts? Not mounted studs? I'm asking
Zack, your dad is getting along great after his knee surgery last year. Thought about it in the last video as he got out of the combine.
Hey man I’m from the north east and we get pretty cold winters but 15 degrees in October is freaking cold brotha you don’t have to sugar coat it.. you guys are the toughest working class around.. props to your family farm
The Millennial is finally available in 4k, it should be hashtagged!
I always enjoy all the work you, dad, and Jim along with others put into the farm...let's not forget your wife Becky who's doing all that editing!
FYI SAE bolts have hashes on the head to indicate grade whereas Metric bolts have numbers stamped on the head to indicate class.
My dad begged me to take over his cattle farm, every month he had to make up the shortage, I said no way, I watch your videos as soon as you release them. What a terrible mistake I made, dads gone, farms gone! At least now I understand why he tried so hard to keep it going! Thanks for doing these videos
In the heavy logging equipment program I went through we only ever used high temperature grease because there was one machine that required it on its cutting blade and we didn’t want to risk someone using the wrong grease in that one machine.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, can confirm that 15 degrees F is "balmy" weather. My brother and I used to ride our bikes through slush and snow wearing shorts and tshirts when the temperature was only 40 degrees out. It had been so cold for so long that 40 felt like a heat wave :)
Sure 40 degrees in the spring time is a heat wave, like you said shorts and t-shirt weather. Even 15 degrees with no wind is is nice in late winter, but 15* in the fall is dam cold especially when this fall as we have had a warm one here in the northland.
@@richardlug6139 I agree it is bitterly cold at that temp, especially with the wind cutting through your clothing. We had a wood stove for heat and my brother and I spent many miserable hours trudging through the snow and ice to haul in from the woodshed.
Your dad is amazing - Jim too. Makes you a v lucky person ...
Zach.... It's amazing how much your son looks like your father... I love to see those two generations hanging out together on the farm!!
We use Mystik grease in every machine we have. The high temp/high pressure full synthetic is our flavor. We have ovens, melters, shakers, etc in the foundry and the stuff just works.
Hey Zach, a little tip for future you to tell the difference for a standard and a metric bolt a standard has those lines that you have on top a metric will have a number on top usually like 5.5 6.5 something like that.
I dig the look of the new corn head when it's folded...looks intimidating, in a mutant kind of way.
We had wheel bolts get loose this season too. Local tire shop apparently didn't tighten them enough when they put them on last...
Standard bolts have lines or markings on them. Metric have numbers on the head.
they make cameras with tiny windshield wipers... and separate enclosures with windshield wipers...
if I am not layered up with clothes I can't tolerate 15° anymore, especially in my fingers. More power to you guys and thanks for all you do
Best farming channel I have ever found on TH-cam🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the content ad always. I miss farming. 😞
Song was Eve Six, Inside Out.
We also used to buy our grease by 55 gallon drums as well as the 3 different oils we used (Petrol engine, Diesel engine and old Kero burner tractors/windmill pumps etc.
Key pad for tarp is shot we have had 2 go out now on our trailers same thing. New ones have little box that encloses em.
How many likes do we need to get grandpa cam?
Maybe start a "Grandpa's" only?
All of them
Enough to convince yourself that Nathan Johnson isn't Bob Brown, maybe.
We need an Onyx cam
Onyx and grandpa and Jim should get a Camera
Zack, you are a great guy on that camera I Enjoy your content ,you have great tapping Skill ! Happy holloween 👻
Zack, Try sticking a zip tie in the electrical socket on the trailer with the plug in it. Make a loop, stick the power cable thru that and shove the tip into the trailer plug. That should keep it steady in the plug.
It amazes you how they can build folding corn headers... And I'm amazed how there are still fixed corn headers around, cause in Italy I've never seen one. We only have folding headers.
Long day but rewarding.👍❤️🇨🇦
I just can't believe that you're not at a million subscribers right now I kind of like to see Anna get a ride and some of that equipment that'd be great you guys take care of God bless great videos Zach
What an operation you have out there! Really enjoy your vlogs! Very informative what you and your family goes through to make a living farming.
We have the same tarp and hopper door setup on one of our semis, I have found that if you hold the open and close buttons at the same time until the red light shows, then do the same for one on the hoppers, and the green light and system works. It the un plug and re plug for that lol
The reason for the spacers on the wheel bolts is so that the 450 lbs of torque stretches the bolt enough to keep the joint tight. A shorter bolt would loosen up more often. Really appreciate the content and the editing. Every video flows well. Nice to see all the help also!
I think at 1 mill you should be taking Dig on the tractor ride too....I think with her liking the side by side now they would both love the tractor.
Just noticed you are up to 950k! Mabey Anna can get that ride soon. 🐕🚜😁
Thanks!
Really like your videos.. between u and mike mitchell in canada keeps my night busy
So crazy that you guys are not too far from us up here in North Dakota, and yet our yields were pretty good. We had one of the best years for wheat at our place we've had in years.
Jim is an awesome farm hand... I'd love to know his back story, awesome person!!
Ditch. What a random great name for that dog. It fits that dog lol
the spacer is to make the joint stiffer than the bolt so the bolt is always under tension and it cant loosen to vibration
Bingo - What he said ^^^^^^^^^^
Yea for Ray making an appearance!
Keep up the good hard work I got to drive a case it 8250 with down spot and it was hard to unload on the go
Heard you say cameras would dust over with in minuets in the grain bins. They'll come a time where you kids will have to climb the ladders. You and your Dad will be grounded! Before that, could you install a compresser near the bin's and put a manifold on it with 1/4" lines running to each bin to where you would put a camera? Control each line with a solenoid on each leg on the manifold. Have them controled where ever you would watch a screen. Push a button to blast the lens clear of the dust enough to see what is going on. It would be a much easier step to take.
Seems like WE'RE little stuck at 948k subs.
Komaan mense word deel van die Kanaal.
Ona wil bitter graag in die stroper ry.
Dankie vir die video... 🤠🇿🇦
Great video again . The 780 we run can have the same problem with wheel studs so we tighten them once a week.
Thank you for explaining what your doing the whole time..I appreciate it!
About the cameras in the grain bins. Build a little plexiglass box for them to sit in? Keep the dust off the cameras
FYI Standard thread bolts have the dashes 3 for grade 5 and 6 for grade 8. Metric have a 8.8 10.8 or 12.8 stamped on the head.
I've got a titanium cage, 2 plates and and 4 screws and they are very good at pulling the cold in
I wish there was more fix it footage. That’s my favorite part
Y’all are right this is so good videos. I’m sure it is hard to keep up Becky does a great job and Zack does a good job videoing. Stay safe and warm
"And our PETS Heads are Falling OFF!" Lol.. that was beautiful.
About the cameras in the bins. Take a box around the camera and place around plastic window in front of the camera with the centre of the window aside from camera. Mount that window on the axis of a motor. Let that motor spin. The spinning forces will take the dust off the window and a brush could do the last bit. When the window spins while you use the camera, then also some dust will blur out and not block the view. Good luck.
Between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska and areas to the south I manage land in, we had corn anywhere from 25 to 54 bushel beans and corn that ranged from 94 to 217 bushel. All dryland, around 10" or more less than last year. Hail storms hit some of the area in june around V4 in corn after it dried we didnt' see much of anything for rainfall. The cracks in the ground are wide enough to put your hand in and go down feet plural. A garden hose in our hard will go down at least 18" and run for multiple minutes without ever seeing the water. Crop scout in late August said we had little to no moisture at the 3 foot level.
If the propane lines freezing is a recurring problem, you could consider adding heat trace to the lines
Your dogs 🐕 🐕 are so funny 😆!!!!
If you used the right sort of seeds, could you make popcorn in that heater? Like fill up the bin with popcorn?
Idea: Install the cameras in the bins like you normally would AND install air hoses with high pressure nozzles pointed at the camera lenses. Flip a switch and dust is gone in seconds. Maybe put the switch next to the display monitor with all the camera feeds are.... 😏
Carhartt bibs are a lot warmer then Long underwear. Easy to get out of if you get too warm.
Your on a roll as dry as it was I was thinking yields would be done more than they are 2022 is almost over let pray next year is better your doing a fine job young man and I'm sure your son will step rite into your shoes love your videos thank you
The spacers are to help the bolts stay tighter as the bolt is longer and has more stretch as the wheel load on the bolts comes and goes as you go in dips and wash outs
