You will love the crane. One thing you might want to consider. It may not be needed but I will throw this out there for consideration. My experience has been that the overhead crane tends to block out the lighting where you are working and having lights added to the crane help to offset this issue. Food for thought.
I just love it when the Big Swede and Brody grab the camera.
And then throw Chad under the bus😅
i dont think they are gay, youre out of luck
Another great video - love the progress being made on the crane. That will be an invaluable tool.
Overheads are great but jibs by a work bench are great too.
Overhead crane = Sky hook. Sky hooks are are great to have in a shop. Mine is only one ton. but still fantastic.
Dang Chet, I thought you were going to Dougo to build an entire separate shop for a crane! Kidding of course. You will love the crane.
Use an air hammer with a hammer attachment to put in the rivets. It works really slick.
That’s gonna be a sweet crane. 👍
The Big Swede and Mr Clean throwing Chet under the Bean Head. lol
the battery powered leaf blowers are the greatest invention for cleaning out grain bins!
Once it's in you'll wish you had it 5 years ago. Can't wait for the new bin setup. Looking for it soon and be safe guys
That is going to be a huge game changer for shop work and repairs. Great upgrade.
Chet ,Brody,Big Swede, Jordan and Dougo. You girls need pillow fight.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 You ladies made laugh need good laugh thank you laugh again 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅.
Thanks for another great video Chet and all of the great people on the team!!!!! Larsons has a great team of people on their operation.
A overhead crane, yeah!!!!!!! Believe you said three ton. Will be really nice to have in the shop for lots of jobs. Most shops say they use theirs all the time. Looking forward to the video showing it going up and in operation. Super addition to the shop!!!!!!
See you all getting combines ready. Harvest will be here sooner than you know.
About it I guess. Always busy with the grain bins.
Thanks for everything. You all take care and be safe.

Hello Larsons! I’m a very loyal watcher of your UA-cam channel. I’ve been a Springland dealer/farmer/millwright for 28 years and probably sold 100 powersweeps for them. I’ve not sold 20 sets of rubbers for the drive wheels. It looks to me like your wheel should be set inward from the bin wall a few inches. If it is riding on the edge of the flooring but partly on the flashing where it bows down I think you are tearing your wheel rubbers up. I personally have a 1980’s 27’ bin that gets emptied 6 or 7 times a year for transferring to silos and it still has original rubbers. Also do you have a carrying wheel in the center of the sweep may help?? Keep up good the farmer representation. D Hosch NE Iowa
Where is the springland factory..
As for cleaning the bins it seems maybe you should fill a balloon with acetylene and put in the middle of the empty bin and then ignite it. Then you can sweep up what came off of the walls and roof. Cleaner and fun.
Needs to be oxygen and acetylene, light torch, adjust for neutral flame, snub out torch on ground, fill balloon. fuse or electric detonator. I would not what to be in an enclosed space like that with crap raining down from above on me.
I saw the snaps of the crane going up, i was surprised it was finally happening.
Chet, it's good to see you guys finally got a overhead crane, no more doing shady stuff, right?
Lol
That rail for the power is called a buss or power buss, crane buss.
That crane is a must have for any shop
So nice to see that Eric put his hat on the right way.
Interesting stuff in this one... the overhead crane will be a blessing I can tell you...
One thing to remember when using a crane. Always keep the winch chain vertical in both planes when lifting. If your flipping something over for example take time to correctly lift so it rotates to where you want it by lifting and following the arc it generates. You are in a world of pain if a big job swings. Never ever get between a lifting job and no escape, no matter how tempting. A few minutes extra is a whole lot quicker than a arm or leg in plaster. Your first few months are the most dangerous. Take your time and have everyone have a meeting about this crane and it's operation and do's and don't. Sounds pussy but cranes used by untrained folks hurt people very quickly. Just keep in mind "what if". I've been around cranes for fifty years and I've seen some dumb stuff. Start with good lifting options, chains, shackles, strops etc so that the right piece of gear is on hand right from the start. Take care and enjoy.
Congratulations on the new crane system!
Great vudeo Chet, Eric, Brody and Jordan👏I appreciate ALL your guys hard work, it is a Thankless job you guys do. Thank You for what you do, supplying Anerica with the croos you plant and harvest🤗 Wish Morher Bature would be more forgiving for ALL the farmers out there. Its a costly way to make a living, and the work is hard. Whether your farming 6-7 months a year or 24-7 - 12 months out of the year. Its a tiring and endless work. Thank You for taking us along for your day to day. You 4 work well together, it is Awesome to see. Now wheres Dougo? He has been less frequent in Larson Farms videos lately. Gotta have our Dougo fix💯 Nice to see Randy more and more too👍
And right here on our Larson Farms You Tube channel - there is copious amounts of fun, laughtter, and education. Our first stop every evening on UA-cam! "Copious" a word we learned from Big Swede just now. The 10 million dollar question: Will a 3 ton crane even lift brodie?
I also noticed the big fella using the word copious recently he must have picked it up himself lately lol 😂 maybe he watched the movie lock stock and two smoking barrels
Amazing video. Thank you guys so much
Looking forward to seeing the crane in action! 💪👍🏼
Glad it’s all coming together for you. Now if the price of corn and beans will get above break even, you can get Doug’o a new planting tractor.
So cool to see. I used to wire overhead bridge cranes while working my way through college in Terre Haute Indiana.
You guys work so well together. Great video 👍❤️
You got 3 ton hoist now I use every day at work it’s great
It’s about time for the craneway. You do so much of your own service work, your shop was begging for it
Sweet addition to the shop!
You guys will use the crap out of that thing. They are so handy
ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!! I’ve been watching since 2020 and wanted to see dougo’s imaginary crane become a reality 😂
That’s what working hard does chat u r able to get what u need ! Takes time another good video ! God bless all farmers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Chet, great video hoping that blower is brushless being used in the bin. Brushes arc!
Nice addition.
That powersweep is my most reliable sweep I sell. I’m not offended at all but may want to call manufacturer or dealer to come look it over. I would be glad to come up sometime and try to make it something better.
Y'all really need to partner with O'light. I'm not kidding those will light up the whole darn bin lol. I was sick of taking my dog out at night and hearing things in the woods haha so I broke down and got the big mack when it went on sale but you could partner with them and maybe get some nice gear😉 I love watching your channel, there's so much that the non- farmers like myself had no idea just how much stuff y'all have to do all year round. It's crazy!!
Y'all take care! God Bless you and all you do for Americans and others to eat! ❤❤
G’Day Chet, keep up the good work and keep safe.
Watching on from

"Bus-bars". That's what they are called. 😊
Chat. It’s called a Busbar. 😊
Milwaukee makes a m18 rivet gun to fit the bigger rivets. Works awesome 👌
Chet, ya'll should do a Lock Out Tag Out on the grain bins when you service them to ensure no one turns on the auger drive while you work on them.
The amount of accidents lock out tag out run right has stopped is astronomical
I worked for a power company in a big city we had like a building manager rushing us the whole time trying to get us to re energize the building. If someone was dumb enough to do it they might have killed the electricians working inside the building
They are sweet but you have too set it up right
Even if you work by yourself, locking out equipment is beneficial. When you come back months later it reminds you ( oh there’s no oil in the engine). When multiple people are working together, lock out tag out is a MUST.
@@Jandygzero injuries on the farm in forever and no such system in place. We use the common sense tag out
You guys are gonna love that!
Chet, You can pick up the pop rivet tool at your local Deere dealer called the Big Daddy. It pretty sweet!!
Good place to use your super vacuum
Oh dear Lord. It's September!! Harvest Season.
Exciting times at Larson Farms!!! I know it is so satisfying to work so hard and then be able to see all your hard work come to fruition!
I knew the first thing out of someone’s mouth was YES! We were going to raise someone on the lift and well it happens to be B. Man! (and it may be with Twine???)
I know Senior Larson, Mr. Dougo and Mr. Randy never expected to have accomplished all you guys have as a team now back when they were growing up working the farm and then taking it over. I love hearing Mr. Dougo tell stories of what they farmed with but that’s just hard work and everyone knows pulling together and now they have The Boss-Toby and The Dream Team to assist them! The Sky is the limit! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride and making us feel like part of THE FAMILY!
Sending ❤ and Blessings to everyone and Toby @ Larson Farms! God bless.
(I love seeing the flags in the shop and
the machinery!)
are you a bit simple?
Get Brody a stuntman Air Bag for the Concrete Floor. 😊 14:46
I put in that system where I worked at several years ago. And Chet those orange bars are called bus bares. I installed them years ago where I used to work
Word to the wise, Chet and crew. Those conductor bars are bare live wires. Before you go up to work on lights or anything else in that area, turn off the power in the electric panel. It could be a shockingly bad time otherwise.
Those are not bare conductor bars. They're only open on the bottom, and they're essentially completely finger safe. You'd be lucky to even shove your pinky up into it to touch the actual live portion.
Chet, no worries being around the power bar at all. Just don't stick your screwdriver into it, lol.
Source of my info: I was a crane tech for 5 years.
@@staubfarms So what you are saying is it wont rain bbq pigeons in larsons shop...
@willgallatin2802 wht do you talk shit about something you know nothing about?
Brody, put the pressure washer down. Those don't need cleaning
@@concernedcitizen3163he can say the same thing about you
Chet Eric Broodie and Jordan great job harvester head grain bin cleaning and service and the new overhead crain in thank you all great joband thank you all for sharing
Chet , This video show’s how hard you all work getting equipment repaired and setting a new cover under the head of combine an clean bin’s out.
That is one thing , I hated the most cleaning the bin’s out. It’s dark and dusty very load and have to wear a hat with a light on it and very stuffy.Have to wear a mask or you can’t breath. Keep up the good work be safe .
You boys really need to look into spraying mineral oil into your dry leg 1/2-1 gl per 1000 bu and you’ll be squeaky clean
I work at the aethanol plant here in tennessee. we do lock out, tag out, we all, "So have a hole watch one are two people in the bin, one on the outside, watching we can not leave the hole tell everyone comes out... love the videos, yall boys, be safe
No comparison where you work and the farm
No comparison where you work and the farm
Team Larson ! 🚜💨💨
Yes, you've finally got something you will now not be able to live without, take my word for that!!!! You already have decided that you will "find" jobs for it to do, but you will just find it so convenient to just roll it over what ever you are doing, and lift! This is such a valuable piece of equipment, you will use it at least every week!
Thanks for showing the drudgery of bin clearing. such a nasty job, shame the sweepers don't work as they should, but with all that weight on top of them, that they do work is a wonder sometimes. Those poor old gearboxes go through such hell until they are empty, then they just give up the ghost. Still, one less job to do now you get to run the man lift whenever you need to get up to the lights. Just DON'T TOUCH ANY OF THE WIRES THAT POWER IT 'COS YOUR FAMILY WILL REGRET IT! YOU, WON'T BE HERE! THEY ARE LIVE WHEN EVER YOU POWER UP THE LIFT. Thanks for the good news, have fun with it, and remember it's only like a jack, don't try and lift any trucks off the ground. From UK.
Get new tires for the Sweep drive. 😊 7:48
You guys will love the overhead crane they work awesome been using them for over 25 years
A piece of flat metal and a couple C clamps help quite a bit on the over flow of the bin sweep
He said copious amounts😂
We pretty much have all that style of sweep on our bins and I love them. It is a pain to grease it though
Good video good to see y'all
Long time coming!
Awesome video Chet. To bad everyone watching doesn't hit the like button. 🚜🚜🚜
I can see them hooking Eric up to that crane and all of them walking away and leaving him hang there. 🤔🤔🫣😍
I am surprised you don’t have work lights put on the inside of the roof of your bins
It's obvious how much work you put in!
Bot
These guys are serious about their rivets!
We would clean under the floors of the grain bins every so often the job sucks because you have to remove the floor but the amount of dust and chaff that builds up between the concrete and under the floor is unbelievable, it ends up restricting the air flow big time and resulting in uneven drying
we call them buzz bars .Built and install,repair cranes for many years and taught safe crane use, rigging
They are called BussBars, not buzzbars
Those hammer rivets for the skid plate are a pain in the butt to get hammered in when you are working upside-down installing that center plate by yourself. But it can be done. Only took a couple hours for complete removal replacement job
Love the Crain……
Put A/c in and now crane next you need wheel lifts to pick semi up and walk under it......................When new shop was built they gave us A/C, 2 cranes and wheels lifts. It's strange to walk under using 4 wheel lifts. We have picked up rotator tow truck and garbage trucks.. A/C shop selling point to get techs but it also keeps drivers out of the shop.
When you are going around with the sweep you have to wack the side of the bin wall every now and then all of the junk falls down
The crane directions are called Bridge and Trolley . Why didn’t you get at least a 5 ton cap .
That crane will be worth what ever you pay for it many time over . Great idea !

Matt Diesel creek working on his overhead. We are getting impatient. But I think he has his mind on his new house Right now.
They need to make big grain bin lights that hang just off of the side of the top.
Duggo gets craned👍👍👍
Thanks
Great video
Oh man leave us hanging on the crane till next video😂😊
The big swede just man handled those pallets....
nice ride along
An air chisel and a pin punch instead of hammering. 😊 4:34
Bin Sump Pro looks like a lot better idea. 9:42
Now buy some quality swivel eye bolts for the crane lifting straps are not great eye bolts are much better and safer. Mc master has every size you need both metric and standard
The cleaning of bins must be terrible. The crane 🏗️ is awesome. As my Uncle Stan said..A farmers work is never done..
Once the crane is up & running you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
that's some crane, looks like things are going to be picking up. hahahaha
Why not use a flat head screws?
Great video, as usual . . .
Waving a hand from texas
Chet. There is a retaining wall in between two of the red barns with big concrete blocks. How has it held up since you have had it there?
When you have to clean up the small clumps out of the bin, would it be easier to use a shop-vac and that way you don't sweep small particles through the bin floor? I really don't know, just curious.
Would your favourite crow scare bangers help dislodge the dust in an empty bin?
Are you guys sure that the building will handle the weight? Looks sketchy to me.
