You guys have so much more snow than we do here in Lindsay! Colin is right about just sand on the roads up in our home town. I hate this slime crap they use here in Glendive
That is definitely one of my pet peeves. We need to go back to sanding roads, not just to save our investments. It would also drop our fatalities in the winter on our roads. I spent a lot of years working in the Big Sky area. When I started up the in 89, you drove slow through the canyon on the sanded snow and ice. If you slid off the road or got in an accident, people were not as likely to die in a head-on. As soon as the started spraying, speeds went up, and more people have died. We lost a cook at the guest ranch I worked at. He was a new father, and drove slower, because that was his nature. A Suburban went into a shade corner from dry road to ice, and hit him head on. It also kicked the couple in the front, who had children at home. Just one example of many to go back to sand. Besides the fact it was much cheaper.
Everybody's mad at DOT in Southern Wyoming because they aren't sanding or salting. It's because the wind blows it right off the roads
Tony my Man...you are preaching to the choir! Here in IL the state will put liquid salt on all the bridges even for a frost. I built a shop with wash bay and we have to wash every chance we get. Wish I could just park em for winter ..lol.
Back in the early 70's, when I was in High School, I would help the local Road Commissioner, because his son and I were friends, farm boys, and in the same grade. We would plow the snow off the roads, and then spread a mixture of sand and cinders on the roads. Made for great traction, plus it would absorb the sunlight and help melt the snow and ice.
Sure nice to hear those jake brakes Tony and Colin👍
We run a small fleet of trucks from ND and my number one expense is all caused by corrosion related problems from the liquid rust maker they dump on the roads, and it does nothing, only lowers the melting point by 4-5 degrees just stupid - it gets colder than 25 so it dont help any way and I can was my trucks every day and have constant corrosion problems, just think the bridges are made of steel (the frame under the concrete for those who dont pay attention) and when is the last time they got washed, cant figure out why bridges fail, the rebar in the road rusts sooner , wrecks all the vehicles on the road, and to top it off they state of ND had to buy special trailers to apply it because they rotted out from hauling the crap out to the road. Also just think when that crap runs off the road and down the streams and rivers and pollutes the fresh water with salt brine the stupid of this goes on and on.
Ya I agree 100%. Sand and chains work very well.
Love your older KW’s so much better looking than the new ones. Peterbilt’s have gotten ugly too. Plus, the lack of emissions on those KW’s eliminates a lot of issues.
You guys got that front end loader and it gets used for everything now... good investment :D
Aside from any alignment issues, I was curious if you have had steer tires balanced in the past as I can only speculate that some tires will come off the assembly line with a better balance then another manufacturer and expect a shop that does a lot of mechanical balancing would see potential differences between brands they handle. Also of note is the shocks, often times an over looked item that should be changed out every so often or even just the taper rubber shock mounts as they can get pounded out and the shock is sitting there loose. A used Pete I bought a few years ago had major tire wear on the outside edge of both steers, more so on the right hand tire which I contribute to the crown of the road as well as the cross caster was not high enough either. I took it to an alignment shop and all steering components were good but the tow was way too much ( forgot now what the actual measurement was ) and he said he sees this type of thing all the time as some on/off road trucking companies will have their mechanics throw steer parts at a unit but not have it sent out for an alignment. Oh and with weird tire wear one also has to keep in mind its not just the front end, its all axles being in alignment as suspension wear can throw off the drive axles and put side forces into the steers.
Proper toe -in is zero to 1/16 toe-in is trucking spec. If a person left it at 1/8. Toe-in that is absolutely the most . Trucking spec means the industry setting ideal alignment spec. Not by individual manufacture. Not making this up I've done it for 34 years on heavy trucks. Last 12 years the industry came together to set specs.
Thanks for the info. I was told 1/16-1/8
hey guys , for steer tyres try seating them while laying on the floor, seating the bead while standing up can make it seat off center , i noticed this while balancing tyres, we had issues with a fleet owner , so we spun the rims on the balancer without tyres to ensure the rums were true , then tested the different seating methods, every tyre that was seated in the standing position had radial runout , every tyre seaten laying down were close to perfect
Good to know. Thanks.
As a SD DOT we don't us Mag in our region but west does but we us salt the reason mag or salt is used is because of the public want the roads cleared faster than sand will take. Used to use salt sand and it is traction and traffic to clear the ice of the highway we don't like the results on equipment either. But we live in a instant world it seems
Road master and cooper tires are the same company and as of late 2021 they are owned by Goodyear.
I agree that payloaders as an adult are super fun!! I hate the salt they use on roads now. Here on Long Island they spread straight salt. Makes everything corrode. When they mix it with sand it gets into everywhere and then sticks for maximizing rust. When I was a kid it was straight sand. Worked great.
TONY TONY your fired 😂😂. I know most people hate cold weather but I always loved the challenges,milked cows 🐄 in Ky tough winters. 😁😁😁😁
👍👍 Have watched your polishing videos. Fascinating!
Those roads remind me of when I lived in Wyoming! God bless you all.
Stay safe on the roads this winter.
I run alot of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri they are bad about using that stuff and salt. The combination of the two are hard on equipment. I agree with you.
Great video Tony and Colin
In Iowa the state uses calcium chloride on the roads constantly we have the same issues with our trucks and trailers if you don't wash them every week the aluminum gets discolored and loses it's shine
Do you hand touque the wheel nuts? One tire shop does most don't, just hit it with a 1" air gun. I gotta believe hand touque would be better.
Have you tried spraying the trailer with a ceramic coating to help shed the chemicals? Not sure how it would work with a trailer, but I imagine it would be similar to what it does for a vehicle.
Straìght salt on roads here in Sk. Better than jacknifed trucks upside down in ditch though. I c u use some good Sk made equipment.
Colin needs to use the maintainer for clearing out bin sites. That should make quick work of rolling all that snow up and out of the way. Saw them doing it up in Canada on job site and that thing was rolling the snow fast.
Thanks Tony, great video as always! Stay safe.
Tires have gotten so much easier. I had to do split rims when I was young. (in the late 70s)
We have a Liebherr and I do love playing with it in the gravel
🇺🇸 not sure if it's the same crap they pretreat with here in Maine but with the added rock salt it certainly becomes vehicle eating slop. The folks that claim it's non-corrosive either don't own vehicle, trade every year, have a government supplied vehicle or did their tests in southern California!!! 🤬 Happy hauling and God bless 🙏 👍
Ever think about getting a snopusher for your payloader? There's ones that can mount directly to a bucket.
Hope if your air drill is coming from Canada their will be truckers that can haul it. Sound like the new trucker vax mandate has all but hauled shipment into and out of Canada.
Super excited to see this drill.
Same.
the tyre wear could be down to tyre presuures, in Europe and the UK they have a tendency to run 120-130 psi on the front on the tractor units.We will wear the opposite edges on the front to you because the road camber will be different too.
Tony, next time you need steer tires? Try BFG’s. We have had exceedingly good luck with them. And probably run just as many if not more miles on gravel then you do. Yes they are expensive, but they last. And most of the time you can run them on trailers when they are done.
I run BFGs on my logging truck in northern mn only had one out of round had to put on a toyo tire guy can't get bfg right now
Great stuff, Tony. Have a blessed day.
I did tires for 15 years and I've NEVER seen steers wear evenly. Could be a brand-new truck and the tires wear. Regardless of brand. Always had best luck with Michelin's and Bridgestone's but even those would wear over time. Could never explain it.
As a old alignment tech I always a truck to 1/16th toe in!
Tony, three options on the aluminum rails.
Option # 1 is to paint the rails.
Option # 2 is to coat the rail with a chemical conversion coating called Alodine. It's a clear liquid that has good salt spray resistance.
Option # 3 is to get some spray cans of CRC SP350 or SP400 which is a waxy coating like cosmoline, and spray the rails.
Calcium chloride is tough on aluminum. You probably have a few other issues including galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals from the electrical of the trailer lights and the electric tarp. The only way to fix that is to isolate each component using a fiberglass shim, and coat the fasteners in a chromate enriched paint or sealant.
I'd be tempted bolting a boat zinc anode on the trailer to draw the corrosion to the zinc, instead of the aluminum.
Good luck hauling your durum Tony
We're running the Cooper Work Series all position tire for steers. We're only getting about 50-60,000 miles out of them with a good alignment. They don't handle well either. Unfortunately, Road Master and Cooper are the tires only our dealer can get right now.
Tony get a Martin like Dougo your floors might be cleaner and won't put red paint on your polished rims
I need to start hauling in our wheat from the bin. You are more than welcome to come help me scoop bins.
Thanks guys! Enjoyed the video!
I remember them cheetah air blasters. Lots of power to them
Apparently the alternator was not Tony tight. Great video.
I sure miss the squeak from the windmill but I'm sure folks living in the local area don't miss that sound!
Does that chloride stop working when the temps get really low? If so what do they do then beyond ploughing?
That stuff must weigh up pretty good then. Kinda surprised by the amount for fully loaded. Especially with the trucks having a pusher and triple axle trailer. That set up in Nebraska let’s ya run 95k except on the interstate. Maybe weight limits are different there
We are hauling about 102-105,000. 62 pound or more test weight. Nice durum.
I was gonna say yeah in Idaho can haul 102 to 105K with that set up.
They have been using that stuff on the roads here and is the roads here in Missouri for several years and it wand it really tears up your vehicles Turns every one of them into a rustbucket way too fast
Love the video as always 👍
They salt the roads here in North Carolina
when you fired up the truck after replacing the alternator, the alternator was moving... maybe it just needs another brace?
Love the videos but We need to have the Windmill back to original. Spin baby spin!!
I’m sure I’m not the only one that winced when I saw that wheel fall face first on the concrete
Me too. Bc I know Tony take such pride in shining them up
How long of a round trip is it from the farm to the grain elevator back to the farm?
Hay tony I was just wondering do you polish wheels for other people or just your trucks
Could be interesting to know something about the financial side of a farming operation like yours - what goes in and what goes out not the personal stuff 😂
Cole the Cornstar does a pretty in-depth discussion of the finances of farming in Iowa....
@@stoneshrink after the bin begging I am over that loud mouth twerp.
@@banjobenson9348 agreed 💯 percent. I use to like him in the beginning then it went to his head and seems his true colors came out. He asked for money for the church then I think his greed came out and thought he pay down the bin site quick. And for a farm under 2500 acres doesn't make sense to invest in a million dollar bin site. If he didn't have UA-cam money coming in they could not have afforded that big of a bin site. And all that new to them equipment in such a short time. Anything that grows to fast in nature and life don't last. If you grow slow and steady like an oak tree you be around for centuries.
@@banjobenson9348 I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
that Kenworth sounds good, starts nice
RANT…fully called for!
Not to be too personal but it appears that the marketing of your crops up in the Noth-Northwest is substantially different than the Midwest? Maybe sometime you can explain this in general terms. I'm interested because lenders are constantly pressing for implementing "risk management" practices which require us to market our crop based on input costs and margins. Your family, and others, up there have obviously been successful... however you do it.
Had the same trouble on 2 different trucks that had road masters steers #juckroadmasters
you need a front end alignment. what breand of drill did you get.
Keep up the work guys
yuk... I watched as you filled up fuel 2 different times..... cha-ching. $$$ I never thought about that aspect of farming or how much that costs until talking to a cousin that owns his own tri-axle dump truck. I would be complaining about spending 80 bucks on a fill up in my pickup. he said try dumping about 400 $$ of diesel in his dump truck tanks. ouch.
We just put enough in for the day so that we don’t carry a lot of extra weight. But still your right.
Nice
Love the jakes
Do you guys worry about balancing steer tires?
you need to look for a lowboy for the loader
good video
You need a fuel efficient Commuter car- not the Payloader. 😋
farm easier pray harder.
Your dad selling 2020 crop at 2022 prices I'm betting he is happy for holdings on
Ya we both carried a good amount of durum over. Very blessed!
What did you go with for a new seeder.?
What headlights are in your trucks? Looking for some for my pete.
They are in the Amazon link in the video description
Check your king pins
On that long drive to the bins, how much of the land is yours?
Tony, what brand is the red conveyer? Another good video!
Sakundiak auger.
@@FastAgMontana I’ll look them up, Thanks!
They are called meridian now.
@@FastAgMontana ok. Do you like those, kr the Brandt’s better? Looking to buy 1, or 2 for our place
Did you get some grain belts when you got the grain belt auger?
Conveyor uses belts
Did you know that roadmaster tires are made by Cooper.
Yes. They don’t seem to be the same grade of tires though.
@@FastAgMontana I was told at one time the rubber compounds were the same except for the ones with high scrub on the side wall, they were a different rubber compound than the regular highway tire, ive got some 315-80-22.5 roadmaster on the front of my kenworth and they have worn better than any other tire I've ever run on a steer axle, I had the worst luck with Goodyear, the would cup extremely bad even with dead on alignment.
@@FastAgMontana we just put a set of road master RM 258 severe weather drive tires on our w900L we don’t do a ton of miles with the truck but they are a game changer for traction…. the traction of those RM258 s, they is unbelievable winter tread stick to sheer ice and chew thro snow like nothing! So far very happy with them.

Where is that grain elevator located ?
How long of a haul is it ?
East of Wolf Point. About 35 miles from one yard and 25 from the other.
Thoughts on belt conveyors verses augers?
They both have their place. The 10’ auger and 15 belt are about the same speed. Belts are great for peas and lentils.
Where did you get those tire spoons from I gotta get me some
I never know that you raising my steaks lol
Do you plug in your trucks at night?
Yes
Are you one of the bigger farms in your area?
Not the biggest no.
60miles with a loader to plow that? Wouldn't a pickup be more efficient
Then we would need a pickup with a plow.
What brand of tire irons are those?
I bought them on AuctionTime. They make better ones. www.google.com/search?q=semi+tire+tools&client=safari&hl=en-us&ei=cLfhYdieMoPD0PEPtYKtyAk&oq=semi+tire+tools&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAMyBQgAEJECMggIABCABBDJAzIFCAAQgAQyBggAEBYQHjIICAAQFhAKEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB46BwgAEEcQsAM6CwguEIAEEMcBEK8BOgUIIRCgAToFCCEQqwI6DggAEI8BEOoCEIwDEOUCOgQILhBDOgsILhDHARCvARCRAjoICC4QsQMQgwE6CwguEIAEEMcBEKMCOggIABCxAxCDAToECAAQQzoOCC4QgAQQsQMQxwEQowI6CAguEIAEELEDOgsILhCABBCxAxCDAToICAAQyQMQkQI6CgguELEDEIMBEEM6CggAELEDEIMBEEM6BwgAELEDEEM6CAgAEIAEELEDSgQIQRgAUMkLWIdBYIRFaANwAXgDgAHXAogB8DOSAQgwLjI2LjkuMZgBAKABAbABD8gBBMABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp
Is Colin your only employee you have?
What is your weight limit?
Balance beads??
there is a bunch of poor stuff steel tires for 2 things that is coming out of china right now causing trouble
You don't balance steer tires
Not giving crap just trying to help so u get max life from the tires.
they put that crap on the roads in Oregon to ..i so much liked cinders better .
Out of balance can do that also. But I bet you knew that 🤣
Even the Kenworth is better.😉 and has the Jake. 😊
And a battery heater pad underneath the batteries. Heat wraps too.
Was it Hot Winding stink, or Bad Diode or Regulator stink? Subtly different stanks. 😊
Love the jakes!
Is Rodger losing weight?
That’s not Roger. It’s June they are actually siblings
@@FastAgMontana Thanks, I guess I did not know about June.
Jake brake on slick road? You will learn the lesson.
The roads weren’t slick.
you should have brought your rifle get a deer from shooting on top of bin.
