    When I watch this, I can't help but thank the Lord that Scott has full function of his arm after that accident. What a blessing to see everyone working on the same project. Great team effort.

    I am amazed about how they can see how two different machines can be split apart and made into one that they need. Also, the degree of talent in the various skills that are used throughout the 'farming' (Imagineering - compliments of Disney while they were starting Disneyland). A problem - no, a challenge - comes up and is solved!

    Nick, I’m so happy a livestock farmer will use the wasted fields! Bailing it for silage is even better than my earlier question, if it could be grazed.

  • @treetrunk28
    @treetrunk28 2 роки тому +1

    Great job to the Welkers,not only fabricating to make what you have work but to be able to go through their thought process is excellent. They work as a team. Good job.If future mechanical engineers worked on a farm environment for a few years they would come out better engineers.

    When I was an apprentice operator I was running a cat 289 and forgot to latch my bucket before loading trucks. I loaded prolly 10t and that’s when it came off into the back of the truck. This year marks my 5th year since then and not only do I check every attachment when I switch I also still get crap for it. The worse part was reloading the truck while all the clayco bosses watched cross armed. I’ll never forget it and am glad I didn’t get anyone hurt. Lol fun little story for you guys. CHECK YOUR ATTACHMENTS AFTER A SWITCH. Lol

    Love the fact you guys build things,rather than go out and buy a brand new sprayer, then end up redoing it all over, because engineers designed it. 😉

  • @michaelbruner3555
    @michaelbruner3555 2 роки тому +1

    I am glad you have someone coming to swath the weeds for silage! See if you can do all of your fields to save on using spray. You might find it cheaper.

    @jwharvey7167 2 роки тому +2

    These are the videos I wait for on this channel. Using ingenuity and building stuff. Don't have what you need to get the job done? To expensive to buy one? Then build one that suits your need and the satisfaction of "did it myself"

    Hi Welker Farms and fans. Help this unfortunate 1st generation farmer, by watching his videos. (Clarke farms) I've been following him for 1.5 years now. Now in the spring his big tractor burned down. now this fall he first had a little son and then his house was totally destroyed by thunderstorms. But he still smiles :) Fun guy with a good mood and sense of humor. :)

    @buckhorncortez 2 роки тому +1

    I've read about some farmers putting a hammermill in back of the chaffer on the combine so the chaff with weed seeds goes into the hammermill so the weed seeds are crushed and can't germinate before the chaff is distributed to the ground.

I have been watching your guys videos for the past couple year's now and I have liked every video of yours! I am 15 years old and your guy's videos are the best part of my day!

    You should look into the leather welding torch sleevea for your hose on your plasma. You can get really nice heavy duty tig torch sleeve. They are big enough to take a large plasma hose/cable, because water cooled tig torches have a water feed and return line and the electric cable. We have them on every mig, tig, and plasma torch leads

Jesus continue to protect my brothers in Christ and I ask that you will bless their crops this harvest season will an abundance of grain in spite of the draught they endured throughout the summer. Bless them exceedingly above and beyond what normally happens during a harvest season. To God be the Glory!

  • @stevenicoson6670
    @stevenicoson6670 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Good job all is getting the stainless steel tank off the old sprayer. Now the project ahead is getting it on the big brute. Easy-right!!! Probably not. But all of you are really handy at this type of project. That old sprayer has good steel on it and seems to run fairly well. Hard telling what you can do with it. Looking forward to seeing the new tank going on big brute. Nice rain you got. Too bad it was not earlier in the year to help the crops. Good to see all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks. Take care and be safe. God bless all of you. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.

    If you can find a dry tank, fertilizer tank, you can spread dry fertilizer with it or, get another tank and use it to help haul fuel or, you could make like a auger tank on it, can use that as a self propelled grain cart. Great video, cheers :)

    Amazing in your updates this year , Terragator, skid loader and plasma cutter and I believe all 3 have paid for themselves. I was thinking about putting the engine of the gator in the auger tractor and the skid loader and plasma cutter have paid for themselves all ready.
    Maybe put a fertilizer box on the Gator or a manure spreader. It's always awesome to see you guys do big jobs in little space you have to work with. Of you could make the Gator into a water hauler for emergencies . Love your videos waiting to see the final looks of Big Brute.
