The joy of air seeders. Around here all seeding is done with those contraptions so having plugs like that is all in a days work. Had a day like that and it turned out the latch came lose on the tank lid. That will throw your rate off but and spent all day trying to find plugs etc. Turns out tank lids were lose.
I'm a "city" boy that found your channel and now can't stop watching! What you, Cole the Cornstar, and others do is just amazing, and I've gained a whole new level of respect for the American farmer! While i"m pretty good with computers, there's no way that I could run a farm!
To carry the camera around, be that frustrated, and never once swear on camera is darned impressive! You talked about it once on the podcast and I can appreciate your frustration. Just once, throw the camera across the field for us! We'll understand!
I was 16 in 1966 when we got a new 4 row planter because our old one was worn out. I thought life was going to be great. We ended up fighting that new machine most of planting season to get it set right. It was a worse headache than the old one.
You did mention air leak potential and that was one of my theories too as it will tend to take the path of least resistance leaving you with less. However, I am no farmer though, all I can do is sit back try to envision how this rube goldberg contraption is supposed to work and try to figure out the various failure modes.
I did a school project and you were apart of it because they wanted to know what we do on social media and I said I watched you. You are such a impact on the farming community plz reply ty
Air seeder guy here from Australia First thing if u put the cart in the shed all your electrical issues will cease cause moisture with the fertilzer causes corsion On your air issue u still had a blockage u need a big air compressor and blow it out with the fan running
Love the honesty of those Rollercoaster days, I get the same in lawn care, you can easily end up your own worst enemy on those days but once things click its amazing
I could see the frustration when you were hitting the line with the hammer. You have way more patience than I do. Would of been calling for a spread truck 10 min in to do it the old fashion way. Love your vids.
Keep the faith brother we all have bad days, only a few days left. A suggestion where was your dad or Jim to help you fix the issue, a problem shared is a problem halved.🇨🇮
At about...."I've never been this far beyond my point of patience with anything!!" I admit to a belly laugh at your expense. I must apologize! I'm glad we're done with everything down here in Alabama! Just a little more cover crop work and the fall veggie garden. I'll bet the bar is open too! Thanks for showing it ALL!
Zack thanks for showing you getting a tad upset. You held it together in fantastic fashion. I on the other hand had one of my most fantastic meltdowns of my life a few days ago trying to do a SIMPLE CAM SHAFT SENSOR IN MY TRUCK. Oh Lord i even scared the nieghbors. Love the videos Zack good luck Deer Hunting to you and your Son!!!! Be safe!
Whenever we have a “wreck” here at the ranch and everything is going wrong I stop and think...at least I’m not getting off of a Higgins boat on Omaha beach on D-Day and I have nothing to complain about. Blessings and peace.
@@MillennialFarmer as I watched the video my heart just sank. We have all had those days when something so simple isn’t. Then the seagulls at the end, just to ruin the sunset. Some days just aren’t as good as others and thankfully those days are not often.
I have a similar saying, but grandpa was in the south pacific, so mine is "at least I'm not in a fox hole on bougainville with malaria and dysentery ".
I have a 1910 cart . It 2 tanks. We use graphite added to the product. How much depends on the product. More never hurts. Helps quite a bit for us. When we forget to add it we regret it. We also use the Intelligent Ag monitor and it is a wowser. I'm very happy with it.
The Millennial Dilemma: Do I computerize and 'millennial mode' this? If I do: When it works: Everything is so much easier than it's ever been, it's smoother, better for the land, and faster, wham bam thank you ma'am. When it doesn't work: WHY DID I COMPUTERIZE THIS?!? NOTHING WORKS AND I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK AAAAARRRRGH!
Not a fan of computers and plastic here either. Old mechanical stuff would run a LONG time if you did your part. And new equipment we're getting has issues at the start. I miss our old 980B loader. Very strong, reliable and over engineered
@@dieselbassohyah1533 Computers are great, when they work. The crux of the matter is, when a mechanical tool goes wrong, it's usually something that you can see and fix easily. It's a small frustration. Computers can even help you find minor issues and fix them before they become problems. When something computerized goes wrong, it's already past the point of those minor failures. It's either A) the computer itself that's failed - in which case, there goes your main diagnostic tool and everything is instantly 100x harder, or b) something big. Either way, frustration level 1000. And with the way the human brain is wired, you don't remember the thousands of hours it works fine, you just remember the six days of troubleshooting it took to get there the last time it went wrong.
I recognize that rock. It's a leaverright. I can tell by the shape, density and color. If you don't pick it up now, by spring it will be so big you will put a museum next to it and onyx will be taking tolls of crazy strange people wanting to touch it!
You got this, hun!! Computer stuff sometimes just screws up royally, and there could be a virus or bug in the operating system that's doing it.. or who knows? Sending bear hugs from a half frozen old woman from Canada. Hoping you have a better weekend!!!
I feel for ya Zack. Those days are never any fun. It’s a good thing you didn’t have any explosives handy. Hopefully, all the issues can be sorted soon. Take care & stay safe. Cheers
Yup, bad ground is what I tell to check all the time with a DMM. Typically everything that's crimp not at the factory has to be redone every couple of years. Same thing as the blower on his silo elevator, relay wasn't clamping because the wires were all messed up. Temporary measures become permanent on a farm!
Spot on man. When it comes to a farm if your name isn't on the deed to the place....assume nothing.... count on nothing because you're on it one year...gone the next.
I’m convinced you must act way more annoyed off camera! There’s no way a man can have that much patience with those problems WHILE FILMING! Better man than I

I feel your pain dealing with granular fertilizer, we band it in the spring when we plant potatoes. All the time changing our rate due to the density of the blend changing with the weather
There used to be a time when I was younger and less knowledgeable and I decided to lik Case Tractors... Then I realized that they were the red ones and the enemy. I love green tractors better since that's my favorite color (but absolutely love Olivers more... Zach might hate me for that but hey, Deere is cool...)
4:50 you don't say, dude i just literally spent the whole day digging out fertilizer out of a old pull type spreader, try emptying 5 tons of fertilizer with a bucket just to fix a roller that seized overnight that prevents the belt from moving fertilizer to the spreaders. Good to know that no matter how old or new your equipment is, it remains a struggle. Had the same frustration today
Had the same thing happen on my 1910 air cart, was a plugged tube under the cart. The air pressure in the cart is high and the obstructed tube is low. That pressure difference forces product through the meter, so makes it look like the issue is with the meter. Confusing as heck I know, but your meter is fine. Take a 5/16 nut driver remove the clamps on the problem run and remove the tubes in the cart, make sure they are clean and reassemble and check you have good airflow. Then work your way forward from there. Lastly crank up the fan to 4500-4600 rpm, for what you are doing you don't need to worry about blowing product out of the rows.
An old sawmiller once told me “Flat belt technology sometimes is still the best.” It was years before I figured out what he meant, and how true his words were.
Again thank you for sharing this. I work in software development and this summarized my day today too. Nothing went right, including the coworkers and the customers. Maybe tomorrow.
Hey Zach: There’s an old Bohemian proverb told to me by my Grandfather “ To err is human, but to REALLY screw up requires a computer “. Well maybe it wasn’t my Grandfather but he SURE was Bohemian. Captain Al from Tampa😎
Im glad its not just us in Australia having all those exact same problems with those poxy JD air carts sold ours and bought a Morris VRT way simpler and almost never blocks.
Zack does that sometimes and says 'It never gets old'. It's like his 'Are you OK?' running gag. He does it so straight faced and seriously, it is always funny. In fact he is an all round funny guy, which makes this by far the best of the farming channels IMHO.
Loving the videos zach. Little truck we use to stop soil build up on ploughs here in the uk is to spread grease over them when they clean and clean the boards after each day.
"Larson Farms" is going thru a serious problem right now, the young man's wife was just found with a several centermeter sized mass in her chest after a night of pain. Please pray for them.
Zach: I absolutely despise this stupid aircart and tool bar. This is the worst thing that has ever existed. (Insert working words) Nick: whatcha doin over dere?
I grew up on a farm. I drove the equipment and my father fixed and serviced everything. As he got older he retired and sold it all. I have no patience for mechanical problems or breakdowns. For the best for sure.
Machine shop here - Look at teflon coating the blades. It's the same process as what's done to your pans if you have any. It's not a cheap process, but will make the discs slippery same as your nonstick pans. I'd say try one and then see if it works.

I feel your pain and frustration zach. I run a custom harvesting business from tillage, hay make and chopping and somedays you just wonder if its worth it when absolutely nothing goes your way. You just want to throw in the towel. You with your air cart reminds me to much of our large square baler issue this summer!!!!!
When it tried to put 400lbs of product down something plugged. I Once tried to rig an 8 run air seeder to run just 2 runs to cover some skips. Never knew you could plug an air cart system like that until that day. Had to replace hoses and use a steal rod on the metal part of the tubes. Your video brought back memories of that day. Good luck.
I can relate to you with my wife to your little one, (has a broken elbow). She was HIT BY A TRUCK. She is doing fine as I hope your little Girl is doing.
After my 3rd cold one that evening, I realized I should have checked more closely for air leaks. This is our 10 year old air cart that I don't have a ton of experience with, and it shows. The air seeder guys are laughing at me, I'm sure.
How’s onyx’s
I think the trouble is when you get problem after problem you do loose the ability to figure it out you just want to be done with it

I am so thankful lawn care is not this complicated.
Holy cow that fert setup is insane! Im glad I only have half an acre to care for.
That's what happens when "citified engineers" who have no farm experience design farm equipment.

would the seedsense monitor tell you on the 20\20 monitor if the seed count was bad or its just not an option for your seeder?

@@rjp3427 I know it, I love it to!
10:08 That is legitimate frustration and rage if I've ever seen it. There is nothing quite like hitting something with a BFH while you're pissed off.
Hey Zach: There’s an old Bohemian proverb told to me by my Grandfather “ To err is human, but to REALLY screw up requires a computer “.
Well maybe it wasn’t my Grandfather but he SURE was Bohemian. Captain Al from Tampa😎
Tough few days now you know what I have been dealing with my riding lawnmower then my furnace now my truck I feel your frustration!!
The answer to the posi-traction rearend question is "it just does".
There we go! Winner! 😂
Im glad its not just us in Australia having all those exact same problems with those poxy JD air carts sold ours and bought a Morris VRT way simpler and almost never blocks.
"Just checking tyer pressure " 😂
Zack does that sometimes and says 'It never gets old'. It's like his 'Are you OK?' running gag. He does it so straight faced and seriously, it is always funny. In fact he is an all round funny guy, which makes this by far the best of the farming channels IMHO.
@@TrevorDennis100 right rear seemed some squishy lol
@@TrevorDennis100 You can tell he wished he never started the Thunnnder one though. 🤣
I give you props for not turning off the camera and keeping a decent mood throughout the video.
I say that almost everyday “there is no reason for these shannigans!”
We found after one year with our soil warrior that run block monitors are an absolute must
Girlfriend got mad at me because I’m supposed to watch a movie with her. Me: “but Zach uploaded a new video and I have to watch it”
Zac can wait, girl is more important.
@@mikeznel6048 negative chief, bros before hos
@@mp40submachinegun81 Fck that. Ill take my girl thank you very much.
Loving the videos zach. Little truck we use to stop soil build up on ploughs here in the uk is to spread grease over them when they clean and clean the boards after each day.
Question: could all the myriad codes be caused by a poor ground or earth connection in the wiring between air cart and tractor?.
I was truckin through i-90 in MN today & saw a LOT of farms getting drain tile put in, especially west of Albert Lea.
"Larson Farms" is going thru a serious problem right now, the young man's wife was just found with a several centermeter sized mass in her chest after a night of pain. Please pray for them.
I was just going to reply...... if this is your worst day ever you are pretty damn lucky.
I feel you so bad! Just in the moment you think you fixed a problem, appears another one ! I wouldn't be that patient :)
Greetings from Germany!
Zach: I absolutely despise this stupid aircart and tool bar. This is the worst thing that has ever existed. (Insert working words)
Nick: whatcha doin over dere?
I grew up on a farm. I drove the equipment and my father fixed and serviced everything. As he got older he retired and sold it all. I have no patience for mechanical problems or breakdowns. For the best for sure.
I love the video stay safe! “ I’ll get that rock in the spring” why won’t you just grab it now so it is less work in the spring?
No basket on the loaner.
Put a basket on the air cart.
Machine shop here - Look at teflon coating the blades. It's the same process as what's done to your pans if you have any. It's not a cheap process, but will make the discs slippery same as your nonstick pans. I'd say try one and then see if it works.
Next Video: "We Got a New Air Cart!"
Thanks for the video!! much appreciated. Cheers from Sweden
Best thing I’ve heard all day “I need a beer”😂 Simple goes a long ways
I’m not even a farmer, federal agent, and I find myself glued to this channel. Thanks for sharing what you do..I find it all fascinating
Damn zac what's Society coming to when someone breaks into your property and just dropped the massive big rock in the middle of your field lol
Rotten Welkers !
Gotta stop spreading rock seed
Bitcoin will go higher, above $15,000. The best thing to do now is to trade what we are holding in our wallet. People forget that in July 2017 Bitcoin dropped 20% in less than 10 days. At the end of August 2017 it again dropped 30% before going Parabolic! I think that we are really going to be shocked in the very near future when we see how little good crypto is actually available. This bull run will show us the true amount and value of these coins. Get your ducks in order before it's too late. The window of opportunity is closing very quickly. As for me, Mr Nicholas Myron helps me trade and so far my crypto portfolio has been on a steady increase from 3.5btc to 6.01btc i want you all to learn from this guy on Instagram @nicholas__fxtrade

I feel your pain and frustration zach. I run a custom harvesting business from tillage, hay make and chopping and somedays you just wonder if its worth it when absolutely nothing goes your way. You just want to throw in the towel. You with your air cart reminds me to much of our large square baler issue this summer!!!!!
Could a solution be to just unplug the monitor?
If you can´t see the problem there is no problem.
Right?
If that’s your worse day ever.....you’ve been blessed Zach
as Homer would say, "worst day Ever!...so far..."
When it tried to put 400lbs of product down something plugged. I Once tried to rig an 8 run air seeder to run just 2 runs to cover some skips. Never knew you could plug an air cart system like that until that day. Had to replace hoses and use a steal rod on the metal part of the tubes. Your video brought back memories of that day. Good luck.
Florida: Hey Zach, heard you’ve been dreaming about me...
Minnesota: Dreaming? Doesn’t that happen when you sleep?
It’d probably be easier to film the slam dunks only. Thanks for keeping it honest when going head to head with the state of the art
10:09 how to fix all problems
I can relate to you with my wife to your little one, (has a broken elbow). She was HIT BY A TRUCK. She is doing fine as I hope your little Girl is doing.
