Eric , I have owe of those grills a love it. That was nice of Brody getting you one. Happy birthday Eric .
Omg the big swede asking when you started wearing kids medium shirts was way to funny. N seeing how Brodu is fitting in so well is cool to see. Buying that grill n giving it to Eric was cool. Could tell Eric was really happy and surprised.
Erik
Perhaps a stainless steel tank?? Maybe a decommissioned oil tanker of some kind. I don't know about Minnesota but here in PA we see a lot of those.
Why not use snap on duels. They are much faster to put on and take off. Unless you have ballast in the outside wheel as well ❓‼️❓
getting into a rusty tank is the exact video they show in a confined space course. the fatality rate is incredible. please invest in a air tester when working in those confined spaces.
Exactly what I was going to say, gave me the heebie-jeebies watching. That is a tragedy waiting to happen. When I worked for Boeing, it was drilled into our heads that no one goes into a confined space or a pit until Health & Safety came out with a sniffer to test the air. Someone goes in the tank, passes out, then a 2nd guy goes in to try to save the 1st guy, and he passes out. Then you're stuck waiting on the fire department to get there to remove two dead bodies from the tank. Invest in a air sniffer and breathing apparatus...
YES! The bare minimum ~~~ put on a respirator! Even one designed for paint/stain fumes would help!!
@@deblarsen8528 nooo deb you aren't understanding the fact that rust displaces oxygen There isn't a respirator on the market that will protect you from low oxygen. you need proper air testing before entering old rusty tank. and ample ventilation or supplied air. look up the stats of farmer fatalities while working in confined spaces without proper air testing. it will shock you.
@@garytiffin306 YES! Thank You! You are indeed correct on this! I stand corrected! 👍👍
Congratulations on being the second highest grossing farm on UA-cam. Keep us watching. Makes you rich. Great job toby!
Hey there’s my head light again!!!! I am glad you are enjoying them.
That gril! 🤣🤣 Way to go Brody!
OK, I could swear Dougo & Amy taught you three to think smarter, not harder? You all see the black plastic pipe boys at the bottom of the tank? Ever thought about opening that up, or taking it out? Just put a ladder to the upright tank, then clean the tank. I have to believe three smart guys like you would be able to think smarter. If there's no drain in the big yellow tanks, buy it so you don't have to tip it over.
If that still doesn't float Dougo's Yacht, make a bracket so you tip the tank upside down, then let it drain when your done. Yes, I admire all of you, I love to give ya the business also. I did drive past one field which was planted with corn down here, the corn was about 2 to 3"s tall, but there's not many fields planted. I did see one tractor with a digger working ground, I saw two others that were driving down Hill Top, a 4 lane road with a turn lane in the center. Now normally most places that would probably be normal, but it's a major road that runs past Arkansa State University. And the number of cars that travel that road, let's say over a 100,000 I'd bet, per day. They took up two and half lanes, so outbound highway 49 was just fine. Inbound, I'm betting there was some Super Angry drivers. One was a drill type with the two tanks, the other, some kind of digger I think. If I have the video chet, I'll send it to ya. You'll laugh, cause you guys look at all that, but your rural, this is a city of 70 to 75,000 whom live here. But that's the people whom live here. Add in the University Students, then add all the people from other towns that work & shop here, then all the people that come to eat. I'd say 150,000 probably more. Traffic nightmare.LOL
Great video Chet And crew👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey, have you never saw a Coon Dog? That's a dog, redbone, bluetick, that climbs a tree to reach a coon. And, no I dont mean any disrespect to ANYBODY! It's fun when there's several dogs together! And you can win prizes for your dog. Love your videos!!
Brody with cap, aviators and a t-shirt looks like a mini Big Arms :)
Nice to hear Margos voice, she knows what she's doing.
Y’all better put out a storm video. Millennial has put out a good one. Gotta keep up.
They're electricity finally came back on yesterday.
ILOVE THE BROTHERHOOD OF 3 OF YOU 👍KEEP SAFE ALWAYS 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Brodie is looking like a good one! Nice hire there!
Next time use a forklift on the other side to tip it over awesome show 😎 you have one of coolest jobs ever 😎 and thank you for your service unto the country
Like I said, the rain delays are building suspense. Waiting for the storm video now is like waiting to find out who killed JR.
Do these young ones even know who JR was? 🤣
I wonder if he knows Maggie shot Mr. Burns :-)
I know the Simpson episode but don’t know who JR is
@@jeeprose4712 Wasn't that Mr. Barnes?
Summer of ‘81 waiting for Dallas new season.
CHET! I could feel my shins hurting when Eric pulled you from that tank. 😂 thank you for the OSHA training video.😂😂
Brody surprising Eric with the grill was super cool! You guys really are one big family. Eric helping you get out of the tank like you weighed 10lbs, the Big Swede is one strong dude. And of course his comment about the youth medium shirt was classic! So refreshing to watch your channel. Praying for you guys after the recent storms🙏
That grill story is so funny! Love you guys!
To bad the nice weather didn't hold up. Glad you guys survived the storm.
Brody running Eric up on the grill. Funny 🤣
That was awesome seeing the Big Swede smiling like that
If you guys are tired of the rain send some to western Ks. My farm has had 1.45 of moisture since last September. And before that we have had 2.70 all last summer!
Erik and you are so fun when you are together
That steel tank was manky, i feared you going inside of it, but you made it out. The three of you fellas are entertaining, and then throw Dougo in the mix, and you got a funny farm lol. Much love. to all of you, and God bless you with some bountiful crops.
Get a swimming pool filter and pump to clean the water in your storage tank as you put the water into the sprayer.
Make sure to be carful in those tanks, super dangerous in those confined spaces especially when they are that rusty with the lack of oxygen it can create. Not to mention the difficulty getting someone out if they pass out. Great video
you are so spot on with your statement, so many people have been killed climbing in tanks without taking oxygen readings first. Bad move, should be blowing fresh air into the tank, wearing 4 gas meter for safety!
Toby always seems excited although he's not always sure about what.
Toby is the smartest one of y'all, he's in the shade
Algae growth is the reason you want black tanks not the John deere yellow tanks or clear tank which let the light in helping the algae grow
I really do love watching you and big swed work together stick together Chet good help I’d hard to find cheers
When the big Swede pulled Chet out of the water tank he looked like a wet calf being pulled! Lol.
It's so much fun watching you guys. You all work very hard and you work well together. The humor gets you through those long days. I've been praying for all of the farmers out there battling the weather. I'm thankful you are finally getting a break. Thank you for sharing another great video. Please stay safe and God bless.
Iu

Hopefully the clean up is going well.
It's kind of hard watching the 'before' videos knowing what is coming.
looks like the yellow tank went airborne and smashed in the roof of one of their bins
Hello from Canada great videos thanks for sharing
"Hopefully the weather turns" - famous last words? ;)
Chet working and the other 2 watching that’s made my day. 🤣🤣
It's usually the other way around
I was surprised you guys weren't over to the millennium Farmers to help him clean up his tornado mess I thought I'd see you guys over there helping him but I didn't see you guys over there I was surprised
Copper sulfate is really good at clearing the lake weeds around your dock if you were to accidentally spill some. Used to be legal back in the 60's and Dad would have a 55 gallon drum of crystals that he'd scatter around the dock and anywhere he wanted the lake weeds gone. Worked like a charm.
Put some iron out in your steel tank to help out with the corrosion. Also I would flip the poly tank over in the fall to help with that.
Thanks for taking us along!
Appreciate your vis guys ❤ much love from New Zealand ✌️👍
Bodie , you made it happen with buying the grill , congratulations ! What fun you guys have , enjoy , stay safe , Happy Birthday !
Happy Birthday Eric/Big Sweed‼️ The 3 Musketeers + TOBY!!!!! The gang almost complete......
Keep up the good work God bless
Happy birthday big Swede.
Another good one👍
Your video's remind me of going to my grandfathers farm in Wisconsin back in the 60's and helping him bale hay for the cows. Driving tractor and other work on farm. It was a small time operation only 300 acres and about 50 cows to milk but I always had so much fun every summer till I graduated than off to my other passion as a machinist which I did from 18 to 65 with the last 42 years at one company and now retired and living life to it's fullest. You make farming look fun even though we all know it is a lot of work and more than most people could handle. Keep up the great video's and stay safe
You can try painting your tank with a thick compound color. You have to eliminate all sunlight to stop algae from growing in a tank. Algae are typically photosynthetic, meaning they need carbon dioxide and sunlight to grow.
You melted my heart toby is back. Yeah the star of the show. Bring him back Chet. Have. A-great week boys.
Awesome video from Brody out bidding BS to Chet being outed for the child's medium shirt. Good laughs make the day go by!
I bought an extension for my power washer that is three 3' sections to reach the eves on my house. I wonder if that would get the bottom of the poly tank from outside and then a sump pump or just standing it upside down to drain.
I know you guys hear it but confined spaces can be deadly so be careful.
So nice of him to buy the grill
I figured that was Margo on the phone! Rode many of acres with her sister and brother in law on her family’s farm by us!
I've never seen a water tank give birth before. Like watching the nature channel.
CHET,
To get an idea of the age of that old trailer tank notice
if you will how there is a row of RIVETS along the side.
Before welding everything was riveted.
!
I am amazed by how clean you keep your equipment and I have one 2025R JD compact tractor that is always dirty. I need to hire Brodie or the big Sweed... Thanks for all the videos. Watching from Wisconsin!!!!
Widen them singles out all the way and just send it, how us east coast boys roll, and we even got the hills to make it more enjoyable!
You made me nervous being in that old rusty truck tank.. Glad your all ok after the bad storms you all had. Prayers to you all.
I deal with those bushings almost daily. It’s a lot like a dodge bushing. I highly suggest taking it apart and coating it in never-seize. It’ll make your life much easier when you get to take it apart
Another good yard drag if ever change out feeder house chains cut in half and put side by side works pretty nice
Hopefully you have a long summer
That wedge/axle setup is the same exact design that is on the 70 your grandpa has. That setup has been around for a long time. 👍
How's that saying go, "if it works don't fix it"!
Copper sulfate...Illegal here in our liberal wonderland of the not so great New York State. Have to travel to Pennsylvania to buy it. A lot of people use it in their ponds to combat algae. Great stuff.
Winny looks so cute peeking out of the tank. Eric having to lift him out was cute too. There are disadvantages to being the slim trim hot guy. Soon you will be in the fields planting and this will all be memories. Good video. Pax.
Hope everything with the Storm Cleanup is going well, hate to see what happened to your farm. Hope you can recover fast, and insurance doesn't give u to much trouble.
Have you looked into old milk tankers or old bulk tanks to hold water. They are usually stainless steel.
You need to put duals on the front now that would really make that thing look awesome
Yep Brody is fitting in rather nicely. Glad to see that y’all didn’t get the bad weather that the Millennial farmer got, they suffered a lot of damage. Everyone was good no one got hurt. Glad to see that Toby is doing well. Stay safe and hope you get into the fields soon. Until next time
This video is a week or two old. They didn’t get his as bad he MF did, but they still got hit. I think they lost 2-3 bins
Errr they got their shit rocked too.
They got hit also. Alot of damage.
How about a show on what fuel prices are going to do to farming this season.
Yall should build a little shed around the yellow tank to keep the sun from gettin to it
So how did the grill work?
Y'all get to enjoy it.
Aeration works pretty good to keep things churned up or tie a big ol sponge to the nibble master and a cat yep that’s the ticket
Awesome as always
Thanks Chet , Great Episode!
Now that’s cool…….he loves that grill
Chet, you’re the best at taking on tough hard work; never complaining and you never stop…. I admire your work ethic and have the most respect for all you do and who you are…. You’ve got the right stuff…Now, and not being critical, you need to learn how to manage and assign work to the others on the payroll.
Happy Spring all. We just got green on the trees this week. Looking forward to your busy season now. Going through all our tractors and having equipment now. Larson's inspire even all us small old guys.
Having equipment, I meant to type.
HAYING. I hate spell check!
@@realredditstories420 your are Correct. Just old and I'm aways on the tech struggle bus.
@@realredditstories420 hey arent you that weirdo who said "God" gave Nicole cancer becuse her family are sinners? GTFO this channel you sad troll
You really did jinx yourself with the it's turning and beautiful day though I apologise for our part in it as we were shearing the next day which usually caused it to rain when working outside or snow when they're indoors. Admittedly didn't realise that the potential shower here would have that much of a butterfly effect. Glad everyone is ok though.
Truly enjoy your video's, I have lived almost all my life in the country, never been a farmer but love the life, I will be 85ryrs old in a month and you Guys are the best at what you do, Keep up your best work and God bless you all.
Reminds me of the song.....working in a coal mine, going down, down.........that tank ma,especially you glad you aren't a miner, Chet.
Great video Chet and crew. It's great seeing Brodi fitting in with the Larson team. Praying for you guys and hope the storm clean up is going well. Thanks for all you do and God bless our American farmers.
You need to get the torch in there and take out the rest of them baffles left from last year
Gonna need a few 5 gallon pails of POR 15 for that tank.
Great video Chet! Good to see Toby!! I hated to see you crawl in that thing!!Thank goodness Eric was there to pull you out!! Happy Birthday Eric!! Enjoy your George Foreman. We use ours all the time and it is great!
That’s awesome Brody! You the Man!
I’m hoping all the materials you need for repairs or replacement of damage come in fast and in time. Fingers and toes crossed.
Wow on the wheat harvest we had to man Handel the daul wheels on the combines you guys got it nice and easy
This episode reminds me of this petite woman I met decades ago who stood at 4'10" and was really gnarly. She let the construction trades guys know that was available on-call to crawl into to any offal tight space (that the guys with "plumbers butt" couldn't fit into) and do what ever needed doing, for premium pay. The guys loved her and paid what ever she asked. So, my point is that Erik and Brody owe Chet something, like that George Forman grill!
Happy Birthday to Erick
When you were putting those wedges in for the dual wheels, I couldn't help but recall Junior High Physical Education. "Wedgies" were quite common. 😁
Like it, Brody done well. Happy birthday Eric.... I think.
Hey Chet! You need black Enduraplas tanks like what the Welkers bought for their spray trailer!
Hey Chet I seen your mom's channel she is a sweet beautiful GODLY PRAYING WOMAN I pray it got past down to her kids praise GOD I'm a believer my self GOD BLESS U AND FAMILY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
The best thing you could do in there is to bead blast it and put a rino linner or something along those line before it rusts through
Glad you had a "Big Swed" to help Chet out of that slimy tank!
great great video Chet, Hope the storm didnt do much damage at your place. Thank you guys
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Happy Birthday Eric. Nice grill you have now. Very thoughtful Brody.
Once again, my thoughts are with you after the storm damage. Trust all is ok with all of you and damage can be fixed.
Good job Chet. Cleaning those tanks is not easy. I do not know if I could. I can’t handle enclosed spaces. You seem to do well with that situation. Good job done.
Putting duals on your yard tractor is a good idea. Gives more balance and more ground position. No one will ever notice the tread difference. Nice tractor.
Eric picked you up like nothing Chet. Wow.
You all take care and be safe.
Appreciate the way you three work together. Great to see. Great teamwork.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
You three have way too much fun working together. It is good to see. Bless you guys. Be safe this planting season
A stainless steel tanker and you will not have that problem. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Cleaning those tanks was a thankless job but will pay you big dividends Chet. Good call on your part.
