    Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
    With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

    When you put new fuel filters on those tractors try leaving the filters loose and turn the key on until fuel comes out of the filter then tighten it up. I’m a jd tech and sometimes they seem like they end up full of air if you don’t do that 🤷‍♂️ kinda messy but it seems to work better

    Since the fuel filter didn’t require a pre-fill you should’ve cycled the pump 3-4 times before firing. My guess is it was only pumping the original 3-4 seconds needed to start with an already full filter, not knowing it’s empty

    Do you have ground disconnects on your tractors? We’ve been putting those on our 8Rs and 8RT. It definitely helps with batteries. If you do and the planter has any extra hookups for say an air compressor for the row cleaners you have to make sure it’s grounded to the ground post and not the battery.

    Whenever you replace a fuel filter (and yes. it is not recommended to re-fill from a jerry can) - my trick is to not screw the filter in tight. Screw it on but leave a couple of turns loose. Turn on the primer pump till no air bubbles leave to top of the filter and then tighten the filter. It's a bit more messy but you will never have a starting issue

I see all newer JD tractors are coming with disconnects installed at the factory

Limits incoming sound to 82 decibles. Really cool. I have a pair after a virus killed one of my ears so now I'm deaf in one ear. Loosing that ear made me realize how important your hearing is.

    If you tried starting it before the filters get full you’ll get a air in the system. After that sometimes you have to crack a line to get the air out. When you turn the key on to prime the filters it will only run for like 30 seconds and then time out. I have replaced a couple of the lift pump. On the 8000 R series do you need battery disconnects. Too many controllers on them drawing power all the time.
