First of all, I am an engineer and retired from John Deere. Your comments about having engineers work on what they design rings close to home. I have been in conversations numerous times about the younger engineers not wanting to get their hands dirty, i.e., work on their designs. So different from when I started way back when. I got my hands slapped a number of times by union employees when I jumped in to help or do something that I shouldn't be doing. Thanks for keeping this ol' boy entertained and in touch with today's agriculture. Hopefully, planting is just around the corner.
As a electrical engeneering student in my final year I can tell you that not every young student hast this attitude but probably to mandy of us. When I die an internship a year ago, it was not unusal that we soldered the prototypes ourself unless it was an unusal difficult task. But in that case you would discuss the assembly with the one, who does it for you. Sometimes he hast a good idea how to improve the design for a more easy assembly. I think both aspects are really Important, but some students are not aware of that. And that's just one example. But I think, it also ist Important to geht feedback from Others people, that work on a Produkt during its lifecycle. In the case of ag equipment i.e. some of the people involved in manufacturing an maintanace. Of course this ist mit always possible, but you should at least think about a way to get some feedback.
@@markuswagner5754 sometimes, communication in the opposite direction is to blame too. Production/maintenance staff are rightly proud of their ability to solve problems in the field, but sometimes a simple design change could remove the problem completely. I remember as a young electronic engineer being horrified to discover that the factory had developed a whole procedure for adjusting component values for every different batch of a particular IC I had specified. A simple change of my choice of IC could have eliminated the whole problem - but nobody had thought to tell me.
I worked on JD equipment for some months, but was disappointed about some of the design of the machines. They are designed to be quickly made at the factory, but a pain to service and time consuming to fix. Great machines when they work as they should, no doubt.
Mechanical contractor by trade (40 years). Can’t tell you how many times, I have to educate the designing engineer on how his design is flawed! Then they ask you how to fix it?? I’ve always say, before they put a pencil to paper, the must have at least 5 years in the field!
As a firefighter I'm so happy to see you taking care of your extinguishers. I see so many farmers and ranchers in my area never get them serviced and then when something happens have them not work when a fire starts and loose a machine or barn.
my cousin met you at the alexandria hockey tourney earlier this year. he said youre the kind of guy he'd like to sit down and have a beer with. thats good we need more influencers like that.
Just a word of advice for the extinguishers if they remain in one area and just sit, turn them upside down and shake em. The dry chem will pack down when they aren’t moved around. You’ll feel the powder shake in new extinguishers.
You don’t have to go around and turn them upside down. Dry chemical extinguishers are made to have the agent at the bottom of the extinguisher. If you do go through and shake them up or flip them upside down within minutes of them being hung up the agent will be back down at the bottom with nitrogen at either 100 or 195 psi pushing it into the bottom to go out the down tube when the valve is opened.
It's a later spring here, not record breaking, but still late. I'm in south central MN about an hour south of the twin cities. It seems as though we are paying for an extended fall. They didn't get all of that up and over there. It can change quickly. Either way, get more wintery, or springlike. Thats how it is until about May.
18:49 I also work alongside my Dad farming here in Iowa and have caught myself mumbling under my breath many times. Good to see I am not the only one. 🤣🤣
I would recommend for your extinguishers that there is a map showing where they are and all of them have a number tag saying where they are supposed to be so you know when you do your checks that your not missing any.
Never fill fuel filters. Unless your pouring it in the little holes around the edge, your filter is full of unfiltered fuel. I always just use the bleeder screw and hand pump/electric pump to prime. It’s not a huge deal on all the newer common rail engines. Note there’s no air bleeder screw on any of those systems. Just cycle the pump a few times and let her buck. I guess in the land of dead batteries you might have to take a different approach tho.
@@bigcheese370 how bout the equipment I pay for I use how I see fit and change the filters how I see fit? Considering I’ve never had even 1 seconds problem with any Deere or Case tractors or combines on this farm. This whole don’t pre fill is the stupidest argument in the world today.
Zach the oil cap is made in Wisconsin. I recognize it as one from where i work and i know we do make the one with the dip rods on them for John Deere as well as other parts for them.
cant tell you how many bottles of those hot sauces we have in our pantry , from friends and relatives mostly at Christmas. Don't know if we've ever used any. Great video today, lots of dog content. Anna sure starts up easy with the turn of the key. Her batteries never go dead. Love Anna.
Be happy your not going because of wet. I’m planting for the laser 10 days in south Alberta Canada It’s so dry and cold windy Not a promising start. I have 6” of subsoil moisture. Wish I needed a rope. Lol
So the batteries on the trucks seem to die due to power loss in the system. Why not add a battery disconnect to them like on the tractors, should be an easy install?
A lot of years ago in an ag engineering course we had to figure out a problem and I reached a point where I couldn't go any farther. I asked the instructor and he said looking over my work, that what I had done was right and to get further in the problem I needed to use a SWAG factor. When I asked what that was, he said it was somebodies wild ass guess!!! I said that explains a lot of farm equipment problems
Thanks for another great video Zach. Enjoyed it. Great to see your dad back home. To bad the weather is not better for him. Let him wrestle with the truck batteries. I have been thinking about them and there has to be a answer somewhere on why they go flat. Even with a battery disconnect. Strange deal?????? Hope someone comes up with a answer. Good to see Jim again. Good guy you got there. I have to laugh about the comments about engineers on the tractors. You got several comments back from actual John Deere engineers that have a reason why it is that way. Had to laugh over those comments. Oh boy. Make sure Jim reads them. Anna is really keyed into the tractor starting. She never misses. I agree with you Zach, she will not like the cab at all and probably will not stay in there. Oh well. Good delivery service getting your filters and such. Hardly any wait. Very nice. Seems always jobs to do around the farm. You can keep busy all the time. Messy and sloppy in your neck of that woods right now. Spring time. The haircut thing. I have mine super short so just get someone to run the clippers over my head and off it comes. Close to being bald anyway. No cost on the haircuts. About it for now. If you find a answer on this battery thing, please clue us in. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. Appreciate the filming and thanks to Becky for editing. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍👋🇺🇸
Just a fyi, make sure all of your fire extinguishers are mounted on the wall with their proper bracket. If they sit on the floor they collect moisture and rust faster.
Hey Zach if you disconnect the negative cables on the batteries there won't be a draw on them and they might make it through the winter time I always like to charge once a month through the winter time but they will oxidize in the inside of the battery in the winter time if they're hooked up whether they're new or not
That was great Zach enjoyed it great explanations Jim is fantastic great guy thank you for sharing and your time always watch every video and can't wait for next one.
Anna loves the tractor no doubt 🤣! Always enjoy your videos so thanks for sharing them with us all. I don't think I've ever left a comment on your channel and have been a subscriber for a few years. Just wanted to say thank you that's all.
7:55 if you tilt your bucket too much back (Loading motion), at some point the hitch automatically closes. in that spot you cant get it to stay open. you have to tilt out a little more. there will be a posiotion at about halfway tilted out where the bucket hangs only in the upper hooks and you can easily unlock your bucket because there's no stress on the lock bolts.
good time changing oil and if you think you in pope co having ifii weather we in northern st louis co still 30" of snow in the back yard... sucks.......thanks for making a day great.....
Instead of diesel fuel we always use conditioner and two stroke oil to fill out filters up Gives the whole system a good cleaning and the two stroke oil adds a great lubricant to everything after sitting all winter Also much easier to fill filters up then using a big fuel jug
Good to know. I was wondering if these had an electrical transfer pump or not. Remember the old Massy-Fergs that had a thumb lever on the side of the mechanical pump for priming. Most convenient!
I was wondering about that - with our older CIHs no pre-fil needed. Also, with those you don't have to change the filter until you loose power (ie. it starts to plug up), which is very infrequent for most of our engines.
This winter we changed fuel filters on our 9560R & 8235R filters dry and cycled the key until you can hear fuel going back into the fuel tank. Great videos. No farming yet in our part of Mich.
The new common rail engines do not air lock like the old mechanical injection engines. Have you tried opening the fuel tank and listened for the bubbles from the return line. I do that on the truck. No bubbles and she starts and runs with no issues.
I’d be happy to trade that rain and cold for my drought. My area of Nebraska hasn’t seen rain in 8 months and the wind hasn’t quit blowing since it started probably a month ago
If I’m remembering right, that 15 liter in the Deere is a cummins 15L. I know more than well about how stupid the fuel filter location is. In a semi it’s even worse with the frame rail right in front of the filter. Have to go full horizontal to get it in and out.
Melinda's sauces are AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I keep one of every bottle in the fridge year round, my favorite is the garlic Peri Peri sauce. For the love of all things good, do yourself a favor and get some on your food!!!!
As a Mechanical Engineer (Dept of Defense not automotive or farm equipment) you need to know that your equipment is designed for cheapest first time assembly NOT for ease of maintenance. The factories priority is to cheapen part cost and assembly time.
Maybe crappy batteries you wouldn't think both sets would be bad though I guess we have seen that before though . Semis we have old ones they have draws in them. All we did was put new batteries. And a Deadman switch mounted down by the battery box. Haven't had any issues since!!!! Nice e to see your dad back around again!!!
Hi a suggestion maybe thought of it or not all the semis have ecm draw , but need to still see once the batteries are fully charged how much of a parasitic draw on the batteries there is , I forget what the etc constant is for a draw ask the repair shop . Other wise once charge put in a battery disconnect. Then might have to have the shop put them in so it keeps the ecm alive but not kill the batteries.
This time of year leaves you with such a "nice looking muddy yard" to move machinery or tractors around..... Change subject: Just an idea: this idea may work or not depending upon locations of equipment. There are small battery charger/trickle charger units that you can mount and you hook up to the batteries (like the trucks) and it maintains a charge through the winter (and summer, if needed). You may have a challenge with a long enough cord or wiring from the outlet to the battery to be charged but this could save you time and frustration. Easy to unhook/unplug and to hookup. Just a thought to preserve those batteries and reduce your frustration levels.
We just put one of those on a pickup that has some small electrical drain on it somewhere. Those work really nice. I'm thinking about putting one on each piece of equipment. lol
I love how Anna's barks perfectly match the tractor starting sounds! Nothing like a barking tractor..... I think you should patent that for all of the dog lovers out there....
Zack- those Cummins 15L fuel filters are always a pain innthe arse! The beauty part is they have 12v electric lift pumps, you can fill your fuel filters by cycling the key 1/2 dozen times or so, will fill filters and displace air back to fuel tank
They designed crap like that already in the 70s. Fuel filter right on top of the start motor, so the whole soup ran over the starter every time and you could change it every other filter change as well.
@@michelle778 The dumbest thing I have come across is an up side down oil filter over the ac compressor and the multi-belt. They have thought a bit about drain plugs but it still takes a lot of paper to not get oil on the belt
I have been studying your dog in the last few tractor videos and I believe your dog hears that pump fire up and then she sounds the alarm to any of the kids that maybe playing near.
At the time of 19:30 when he is filling the oil I wonder if that yellow piece inside is a funnel ive seen it on tic tok an wondered if it was true I just don't have a semi or tractor to find out lol 😅
I spit my drink all over the kitchen when you hit us with the piss shiver😂😂😂 My girl was like what are you laughing so hard at? "You just wouldn't understand babe." 🤣🤣🤣
I have a 2 inch jerk rope and I use it as a jerk rope when I have a tractor stuck, I hook one end of the rope to the stuck tractor and the other end too the puller tractor, back up about half the length of the rope, put the puller in 4th gear go full throttle and pop the clutch and GO until the rope is all stretched out and then push the clutch in tractor is out
@@carlandersen6930 My boys and I have done plenty of the "jerk rope" technique (in fact our oldest strap is a "snatch-um" brand, known for it's stretch) and it does work in extreme cases. It also will break the shit out of anything and everything if you are not careful. A little slack in these jerk ropes works well but your method is extreme. I don't wish it on you, but after 30 years your luck may be running slim! Be careful. These are powerful tools!
@@paulcopeland9035 I am always careful I use screw clevises on both ends of the rope to pull with. Side note, this winter I jerked out a semi tractor and trailer out of the ditch with one jerk.
Why don't they mount them right side up? That would work like a settling bulb and keep the foreign material down low and reduce the chance of bad things ( and water) going to the pump & injectors. Easier to change too ya? But, I'm not an engineer 😁
If your looking for additional fire safety, every month or so take those fire extinguishers and turn them upside down a couple times to keep the extinguishing material fluffed up inside. Don't know if your inspector guy told y'all about that. Oil and gas industry type procedures there
Not pushing, but consider getting a METAL burning fire putter out. If you get welding on something in the shop and it is over heat or you run into Magnesium somewhere it will burn until it goes out - White Hot. Often in Alum blocks and Assemblies caution welding around that light metal.
You are very fortunate to have Jim. Not only do you have a great worker, but also a great advisor.
I love his demeanor, such a great guy it seems
I agree. Always cringe when someone says: „You’re fired Jim“ - a disrespectful blow below the belt
I thought he was family not worker
And a great friend.

Normally you get them inspected/serviced once a year..

Yankum need a running start to stretch and Yank-ive used similar ones and the stretch works -land cruiser Fj62 and a full size motorhome at the Beach.
Hi a suggestion maybe thought of it or not all the semis have ecm draw , but need to still see once the batteries are fully charged how much of a parasitic draw on the batteries there is , I forget what the etc constant is for a draw ask the repair shop . Other wise once charge put in a battery disconnect. Then might have to have the shop put them in so it keeps the ecm alive but not kill the batteries.
This time of year leaves you with such a "nice looking muddy yard" to move machinery or tractors around..... Change subject: Just an idea: this idea may work or not depending upon locations of equipment. There are small battery charger/trickle charger units that you can mount and you hook up to the batteries (like the trucks) and it maintains a charge through the winter (and summer, if needed). You may have a challenge with a long enough cord or wiring from the outlet to the battery to be charged but this could save you time and frustration. Easy to unhook/unplug and to hookup. Just a thought to preserve those batteries and reduce your frustration levels.
We just put one of those on a pickup that has some small electrical drain on it somewhere. Those work really nice. I'm thinking about putting one on each piece of equipment. lol
I love how Anna's barks perfectly match the tractor starting sounds! Nothing like a barking tractor..... I think you should patent that for all of the dog lovers out there....
Zack- those Cummins 15L fuel filters are always a pain innthe arse! The beauty part is they have 12v electric lift pumps, you can fill your fuel filters by cycling the key 1/2 dozen times or so, will fill filters and displace air back to fuel tank
Hi Todk.
Gotta keep Jim in the picture because he reminds me of a great friend I recently lost !
Good to see your dad back, poor guy comes home to snow
What happened to that tine that was lodged in the artic tractors tire? Don’t remember seeing you get it out?
20:05 Good there Jim 👍
Someone has to tell the engineers to learn a lesson
They designed crap like that already in the 70s. Fuel filter right on top of the start motor, so the whole soup ran over the starter every time and you could change it every other filter change as well.
Hey those engineers went to school a long time to learn how to put things in the hardest to reach places and most inconvenient locations. 😆😁
@@michelle778 The dumbest thing I have come across is an up side down oil filter over the ac compressor and the multi-belt. They have thought a bit about drain plugs but it still takes a lot of paper to not get oil on the belt
I have been studying your dog in the last few tractor videos and I believe your dog hears that pump fire up and then she sounds the alarm to any of the kids that maybe playing near.
I swear, I wish I could subscribe more times, just to be able to help Anna to be able to get her ride! Great video!
love your videos! much love from Norway!
The two dogs are a lot of entertainment. Anna wants in that tractor cab so bad. Zach to the rescue again at the neighbors, nice of you to do that.
At the time of 19:30 when he is filling the oil I wonder if that yellow piece inside is a funnel ive seen it on tic tok an wondered if it was true I just don't have a semi or tractor to find out lol 😅
I spit my drink all over the kitchen when you hit us with the piss shiver😂😂😂 My girl was like what are you laughing so hard at? "You just wouldn't understand babe." 🤣🤣🤣
I have a 2 inch jerk rope and I use it as a jerk rope when I have a tractor stuck, I hook one end of the rope to the stuck tractor and the other end too the puller tractor, back up about half the length of the rope, put the puller in 4th gear go full throttle and pop the clutch and GO until the rope is all stretched out and then push the clutch in tractor is out
You sound like you are pretty good at breaking things.
@@paulcopeland9035 I have never broke anything yet, and I've had my rope for 30 years.
@@carlandersen6930 My boys and I have done plenty of the "jerk rope" technique (in fact our oldest strap is a "snatch-um" brand, known for it's stretch) and it does work in extreme cases. It also will break the shit out of anything and everything if you are not careful. A little slack in these jerk ropes works well but your method is extreme. I don't wish it on you, but after 30 years your luck may be running slim! Be careful. These are powerful tools!
@@paulcopeland9035 I am always careful I use screw clevises on both ends of the rope to pull with. Side note, this winter I jerked out a semi tractor and trailer out of the ditch with one jerk.
I got a Jankun Rope as well, it"s neither a grower or a shower but it's all mine! Cheers from snowy Beaver Valley Ont.
On vertical filters, poke a hole in it and drain it before making a mess.
Why don't they mount them right side up? That would work like a settling bulb and keep the foreign material down low and reduce the chance of bad things ( and water) going to the pump & injectors.
Easier to change too ya?
But, I'm not an engineer 😁
Im currently trying to keep a sick rabbit alive. It's good to have someone like you to watch.
I'll get a towel.
My favorite videos involve Jim!
Can we please get to 1M subs already people?! Poor Anna wants her damn ride already!!! She's sick of waiting!
If your looking for additional fire safety, every month or so take those fire extinguishers and turn them upside down a couple times to keep the extinguishing material fluffed up inside. Don't know if your inspector guy told y'all about that. Oil and gas industry type procedures there
On our loader tractor it doesn’t stay unlocked either unless you have the bucket tipped level. Hope that helps!
Amerex is built down the road from me in Alabama. Great company. They were also on the show 'How it's Made'.
Your channel is always fascinating and I get pulled in. So says this non farmer, city slicker CDN senior citizen. I'm hooked.
Not pushing, but consider getting a METAL burning fire putter out. If you get welding on something in the shop and it is over heat or you run into Magnesium somewhere it will burn until it goes out - White Hot. Often in Alum blocks and Assemblies caution welding around that light metal.
Am I the only one that gets excited when a new video comes out?
No me too
Count me in
