I am shocked that there isn’t over one million subscribers to this channel. Like someone else said the editing is spot on. To me this is just a great family farming channel. Great job Nick, Leg Arms and Bob. Thanks for sharing!!
I watch a lot of farmtubers & just said the same thing to my husband. They’re also the only channel I’ve seen sponsored by Case AND have Big Buds. They can build anything too
I think longer videos would help to get more subs. I'm the type of viewer that likes long videos and always I watch something on this channel I wish that was more to see. Just my opinion😊
Same if there's anyone I'd love to sit down and talk to/ pick the brain about farmin it would be these guys. I grew up on cattle farms and dealing with cattle my whole life but I always dreamed of getting into farming. And the welkers make it look 1000× more fun
As a retired UK farmer , I just hope the Welker farmers , who are a great family have a wonderful harvest in 2023 , because if anyone deserves it they do after two disastrous years . My very best wishes and hopes .
Nick and Scott, When you are working on booms and stuff down low, follow your dads example and use a mechanics seat instead of working on your knees. Trust me, when you get to be your dads age, you will thank yourself !! I wish you a wonderful and productive growing season and harvest.
Been watching this channel for over 2 years and I have to say I love how your farm does as much as you can yourself instead of farming out the work to contractors! Love it! Keep up the hard work!
Now that is a set of spray booms, you will be able to cover a few more acres during a day of spraying. Gotta say you guys do most all the work on machinery yourselves which I admire you for that.
You guys are making this look way too easy. A testament to the knowledge you all bring to any project. Can't wait to see Big Brute's modernization in action! Take care and God bless!
A Corvette will only depreciate once it is purchased. I am very interested to watch this system work and what savings ($$ and chemical) you will experience using the system. The boom should be given the name, “Waste Not, Want Not” if it works as intended.
I continue to pray for you and the Welker farm. To be established that long is impressive to me, that doesn’t happen often. I own (unfortunately do not farm yet) my original family farm that was certified by the state of MN as a Century Farm. Its a mere 400 acres, but have many memories. We grew a lot of wheat, for straw bedding in late summer. Plant 23!!!
I am surprised after the booms were installed your dad didn’t say we’re in Boom Town now. Love your videos and how you rebuild things. Praying for a great 2023 harvest.
So many thanks. You guys have a passion for growing food products and applying tech to create efficiency. Fighting machinery problems and Mother Nature, (and broken arms... that he will never forget).
Scott had an I’m getting older moment. When he said it was only in 2016 or 17. Then realized that was 6-7 years ago. Oh how time flies by. Hope all are well and safe.
When I was a custom applicator, I built and modified booms and spray systems. If you do not have a "floating boom" I can offer you an easy mod that will dramatically improve the life of your new boom. Off the shelf parts! Also, and easy mod for your break-aways.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Step by step you are getting the sprayer tractor all setup. The new tires look great on it. Sure is a different trend design. Should work good for you. The booms are coming along ok. Step by step you are getting them adjusted and setup. Looks like it will take a while yet. Lots of adjustments there it seems. Hang in there. Sounds like your seeding is just around the corner. Spring seeding time is here-yeah!!!!!!! Time to go go go. Let’s get the seed a going. Going back to the king pins on the spray tractor. Would take a lot to bend them I would think. I would get the repair kit and see how it goes with the new tires. Then you have them on the shelve if you need them. Those new booms are huge huge in length/wow. Be nice when done. What do you do with the old big tires. Any core return value in them???????? Oh nice to have for a spare or a super big sand pile. About it I guess. Lots going on for all of you. Busy busy time now. Thanks for everything Welkers. My prayers are with you for good seeding and in return a great crop!!!!!!! Thanks The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve
BIG BRUTE appears to be only 2 wheel drive. If that is indeed the case, the front tires should be mounted with the chevrons facing backward for better steerability.
Before you order new king pin kits check and see if Kiaser makes a kit for that axle They cost a little more but they are 10 times easier and last a hole lot longer
I was just telling my husband (who I got hooked on Welkers, FastAg & a few others) how the Welkers (& Tony Fast) fix & build everything. It’s amazing! I’m thinking a lot of that is out of sheer necessity too. Both farms seem to be pretty isolated, relying on shops to do all the mechanics would put you out of business.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I completely accept the diagnosis of “addiction to generational family farmtubers” & hopefully I have a lot of company bc the country needs to know what it takes to feed us!
King pins might do it. Or you might need to bend the front axle to get correct camber. They can be twisted to correct caster. Used to do that in a truck shop in Iowa. Scary.
Oosh that’s $105k by my math. My Dad always said cost is a good measure to consider - but not the best, he said ROI was the better measure. Here’s to hoping u get the corvette one day. 😅
Man you guys are really addressing Net Profit and machinery maintenance ... on the run!!! Every dollar you are saving not using the dealer and building the planting rigging yourselves goes directly to post tax take home bottom line PROFIT !!! Plus you are fully trained & know all the hardware in the system 100% yourselves ... you know how to diagnose, fix and replace necessary parts and you save time and don't need repair SERVICE calls from your dealer!!!
Life of a farmer is one step forwards and three back. I really don't think paint is a big issue for the tractor... just make money happen is the best one can hope for. I do agree that paint and polish does help morale tho and that is very important also.. cheers and god bless all of you.... didn't see cody so hope he is sleeping on a couch

Dry no rain hail storms ect.
@@jamesstickney7042 Ok, thank you.

The mechanical ability of your family amazes me every video. Your dad should be very proud.

Good to see Scott again. Hope you and your family are enjoying your beautiful new home.
Glad to see your business is booming.
..... I'll show myself out.
Wow! Your shop is better equipped than the International Truck shop I worked for in the 80's and 90's.
A good Day Men!
Nice Millennium boomers. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.
The Bud looks great with those tyres and the shiny booms.
And get the spindle rebuild kit on the shelf Now before you can't get it in. Always have things like brake shoes and drums Before you need them. 11:52

When swapping or repairing tires, use mineral spirits as a lube on the bead! It will dry in 24 hours but it makes the rubber really slippery when wet.
Can't wait to see Big Brute with WEED-IT installed! Awesome tire upgrade too
Lets hope the weather plays ball this year guys, best of luck with the planting, pray for a bumper crop and all those bins over filled this year
Love seeing the big brute evolve over the years, God bless y'all!

Great to see you all doing peices to camera and working so well
I am surprised after the booms were installed your dad didn’t say we’re in Boom Town now. Love your videos and how you rebuild things. Praying for a great 2023 harvest.
Finally! Gonna spray in style. Best looking spray rig around. Nice job guys.
That’s just how those rear tires wear. Our sprayer truck was the same way. One blew one day in the shed. Thankfully not on the road.
So many thanks. You guys have a passion for growing food products and applying tech to create efficiency. Fighting machinery problems and Mother Nature, (and broken arms... that he will never forget).
Tank you for the videos! God Bless the 2023 planting
God bless! Love you guys. Hope your spring planting goes well and your harvest is plentiful. In His Name, Amen.
Looks like the boys having a booming good time. Bob😊
We're spraying so.....😊. Greetings Bernie👍
Scott had an I’m getting older moment. When he said it was only in 2016 or 17. Then realized that was 6-7 years ago. Oh how time flies by.
Hope all are well and safe.
It's great to see all 3 of you working together. Love it.
Loved that Timelapse shot of you guys hammering the drum!
Great to see all of you working together! God bless you all and I pray you have the most profitable year ever!
Those big rubbers made it look even better! Nice!
Awesome! Thanks for posting.
If you were to rotate the tires you'd get a longer life out of the tires. The wear would be more even..
When I was a custom applicator, I built and modified booms and spray systems. If you do not have a "floating boom" I can offer you an easy mod that will dramatically improve the life of your new boom. Off the shelf parts! Also, and easy mod for your break-aways.
Good Job guys. Can't wait to see it spraying.
Just wondering when this video was coming out and boom! Here it is
Great word play, boom. 😂
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Step by step you are getting the sprayer tractor all setup.
The new tires look great on it. Sure is a different trend design. Should work good for you.

Sounds like your seeding is just around the corner. Spring seeding time is here-yeah!!!!!!!
Time to go go go. Let’s get the seed a going.
Going back to the king pins on the spray tractor. Would take a lot to bend them I would think. I would get the repair kit and see how it goes with the new tires. Then you have them on the shelve if you need them.
Those new booms are huge huge in length/wow. Be nice when done.
What do you do with the old big tires. Any core return value in them????????
Oh nice to have for a spare or a super big sand pile.
About it I guess. Lots going on for all of you. Busy busy time now. Thanks for everything Welkers.
My prayers are with you for good seeding and in return a great crop!!!!!!!
Thanks

Blessings Steve!
Looks great at this point. Looking forward to seeing it in the field.
Love the sound of the Utility truck 👍👍👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love Mr Bob & his jokes! Your family is blessed in many ways! ✝️
Hard working family, what an inspiration.
Cool! Best wishes for a great season!
I spy some new skid loader wheels in the background. Those new wheels look great on Big Brute!
really great video. Big Brute is looking awesome. Thank you guys
Awesome stuff! Hopefully y’all saved money by assembling it yourselves, that’s a ton of work
Very impressive gents. Thanks for the food and great entertainment
🔥right on guyz, some awesome updates to big brute, he def deserves all the tlc. One killer machine 🔥👊🔥⚙️🏍🔨🚜
You guys are really good mechanics……and fearless ….thanx
BIG BRUTE appears to be only 2 wheel drive. If that is indeed the case, the front tires should be mounted with the chevrons facing backward for better steerability.
FYI, Toe out can wear the insides as well. Although most times it is camber.
And those tires still wear out faster than those BKT tires. We run them on one of our floaters at work. We are lucky to get a season out of them.
😂 your pause when choosing sencors or corvette was priceless.
Make sure that the toe measurement is good. If the tires are toed out it will also cause the same wear!
Looks good. Can’t wait to see it in action. Will you guys be adding the blue led lights like the new patriot has? That would look awesome.
Great video Welker Farms
Awesome video thanks for sharing absolutely love this channel watches videos every day
Awesome upgrades. Far better and cheaper than buying a newer sprayer.
Can’t wait to see big brute in action!!!!
Could you rotate the tires from side to side to get more life out of them? The inside wear would then be on the outside on each side.
if i had a farm, i'd want those 2 boxes, hard to spray crops with a vette!! tell leg-arm we need a house update!!
That sprayer looking good.
Excited to see that out in the field.
I got to say, your bravery to attack any job laid ot before you all is on par with awesome. Good work, men!
Before you order new king pin kits check and see if Kiaser makes a kit for that axle
They cost a little more but they are 10 times easier and last a hole lot longer
I second the Kaiser king pin kits. So much easier and longer lasting
I’d LOVE to drone shots of this sprayer behind Tony’s planter. Plus, I love farmer crossover vids.
Job well done guys, nice bit of kit

The upgrades are looking good fellas.
The Welker Professional Farming Team...the team that does it all. Great video!
great stuff god bless welkers
Those are amazing booms.
Thank you, we all appreciate you brother
Your kids are going to have the biggest tire swing in town
😂🤣😂
Sweeeet, Big Brute got new boot's and wing's.😃👍
Faaaaack, that rim from the first back tyre clipped Legarm's knee cap.
King pins might do it. Or you might need to bend the front axle to get correct camber. They can be twisted to correct caster. Used to do that in a truck shop in Iowa. Scary.
Nick, you should know about drifting when you're spraying!😮
Oosh that’s $105k by my math. My Dad always said cost is a good measure to consider - but not the best, he said ROI was the better measure.
Here’s to hoping u get the corvette one day. 😅
Man you guys are really addressing Net Profit and machinery maintenance ... on the run!!!
Every dollar you are saving not using the dealer and building the planting rigging yourselves goes directly to post tax take home bottom line PROFIT !!!
Plus you are fully trained & know all the hardware in the system 100% yourselves ... you know how to diagnose, fix and replace necessary parts and you save time and don't need repair SERVICE calls from your dealer!!!
Without a doubt or single thought, I would pick the boxes. Gotta spend money to save money to make money go further
Scott and Dad really get thing done indeed !
Do those booms have auto brake sensing to keep you from wrapping one around a power pole ?
The obstacles avoidance sensor is between the steering wheel and the seat
@@fowletm1992 as we have seen it doesn't work all the time !
Life of a farmer is one step forwards and three back. I really don't think paint is a big issue for the tractor... just make money happen is the best one can hope for.

Man I wish we had your guys moister content up in Alberta. We’re having bad fires again this year
looks like the farming business is booming!
As steers that are non driven shouldn't they be mounted with the lugs backwards?
They might need to be. We'll evaluate what it does
Awesome looking booms u r putting on the brute
Hello Nick,
If you ever get tired of farming or in your down time, you would be a good school teacher.
An alltec safty manual just burst into flames with the driving crain.
Good job
Hi there fellas what’s up. Have ya seen any farmers around? Well. Have a great day.
you guys should make something for the kids with the old tires and they would make a great item in the yard as a garden just an idea :)
Sweet! That came out awesome. Nice work. I spray my ratchet's periodically with WD40, and they work like new
Those are great looking booms! That weedit should pay big dividends. 👍
Very cool! Fun to watch!
Big brute is ready to fly awesome
I like the boxes better! 🙂 Looking good Big Brute! Have a great day Welker family! 👨🦳👨🏻👱🏻♂️
Legarms, You should try Mississippi mud. It makes you taller until you can't walk no more.
It’s good to see Scott.
Good video can't wait to see it in action!!
