Chet, Your smart enough to add a camera to the back of the grain cart.
The biggest problem with getting old is it is better than the alternative.
Never a truer statement made ever🤓
I wouldn't want to be young in the world we live in today.
Getting old ain’t for the faint of heart! You gotta be tough and grind on!
I'm thankful that I can read without glasses. It's the driving that gets me.
The look on Dougo's face while they were looking at the bottom of the tank. Really needed that today, my struggle bus just hit the road.
People always talk about ( getting old and over the hill) nobody ever talks about how steep and slick that other side of the hill is. You guys keep putting out great videos I love watching them
Yup, watching this instead of the Warriors/Grizzlies. You really got some content on this channel :)
I'd watch grass grow over the NBA !!!! NO OFFENSE LARSONS
@@mikemontgomery7337 :) Warriors pulled it off, I watched the second half... pretty good Memphis team - really young, but really viable.
Good to see Toby is ok
Brodie was a great hire. He seems very talented. His disposition is fantastic. Great team.
All of you are Awesome and I loved seeing the Dissapointment On Your Dads Face it made me Laugh xx
Like the truck time with the big Swede! Nice too see dougo making Amy’s life easier!
Its the same here in sweden. The Electric is cheap but the main electric fee is crazy!
And damn Erik that is some cool sunglasses
Enjoyed your video Chet! It was so good to see Toby and your Dad!!!
loving Toby’s wobbly bow tie
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Back to cleaning mud out of the tracks. Oh boy what a job that is. You and Brody hang in there. Lots of mud for sure.
Your grandpa will not be happy with all the mud I. The road. One of you should clean it up for him. He is a nice old gentleman.
You are having a lot of dead batteries here lately. Must be that time of the year.
Dougo do understand the bifocal problem. Been there done that. Takes a while to get them the way you want them. Hang in there.
Sorry about the bad gas tank bottom. Better you found it before loading with gas. Oh my.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Chet.
The Iowa farm boy.
Good to see Toby. Good dog.
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos thanks for sharing.
You know I learned one thing of watching your shows for the past couple years the greatest success that you guys have are what great mechanics you are and maintain your machines if you had to have somebody else fix it your profit margins would be greatly reduced good shows great luck for the next year and thank you for being a great American Farmer
oh chet grandpa sees your comments you will have clean up dutys for 2 years min. great seeing all of you and toby.
Those semi’s look good.
Very great new video again for the farm
L💜🦋E The Video Chet‼️
We had the regulars, the super stars Dougo and Tobi and mentioned Amy, Randy and Papaw who will be waiting on the next story...... Will He or Won’t He get his driveway clean?!?! Tune in till next time when hopefully all our questions will be resolved!
I know how the getting older thing sucks. I laughed at 40, 50 and felt pretty good at 60. Now at 68 with a total shoulder and hip replacement this old roosters tail feathers are starting to leave ruts not marks. Bless you guys l
Yuppers, the worse part is the payback pains our body uses to let us know we were way to adventurous when we were young and foolhardy.
Dirt bikes, snowmobiling and other things we're paying for now.
For me there's also what I did in the Coast Guard.
My profile avatar shows what I did.
It's double hip replacement done 4 years ago still have to get the shoulder done again double torn rotator cuff it sucks getting old but it's nice being financially secure I learn one thing physical therapy helps out a lot not to mention those girls are pretty cute they can make me do anything
Hope the weather turns around soon, those planters are ready to go.
Near 2000 views after 9 minutes. Good job! love the videos.
Hiya to you all,
Chet, you need to buy a battery load tester. Using a voltmeter and knowing it has 12.7v is fine as far as it goes. but that isn't very far. If you use a tester it puts a resistive load on the battery and the gauge is calibrated to let you know the state of the charge, not just the size. So it finds dead batteries, and not just uncharged ones.
Stay safe, Steve...
*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
@TED JONATHAN You have to get more experience first, work with a professional like Mr Dave Jevans on crypto to guide you step-by-step.
I heard that his strategies are really good
That's a good idea, but how do I get to Mr Dave Jevans?

Great video 👍 👍
Nice to see all you guys share the dirty jobs as well as the easy ones.
Good show. #!!!
Chet I feel your pain on washing. I've done mobile pressure washing for 23 years washing anything you can thing of from wind turbines/ truck fleets to heavy equipment to corn dryers. Not a job for the soft type 😂😂. But you know if you had a rain coat with a hood on you'd be a lot dyer underneath equipment 😂😂.
Always a good thing when Trumble repairs makes a special guest appearance
love the vids chet, dougo being dougo
Chet, 91 octane gasoline here in Tracy, Mn was closer to $4.50 / gal. last week !
Thumbs up Chet!
Great video thanks again
Just finished watching the newest Saskdutch kid video . And got the notification from Larson farms
Great timing!
So good. 👍 I learn so much from your videos. 🎓
Stay strong Chet, break the OCD cycle.
Great video Chet Dougo Eric Broodie great explanations Eric on the scale loved it back in the track mud fire hose Chet and Broodie never miss a video and can't wait for next one thank you for sharing and your time was awesome 👌
Have you considered getting a 3 phase generator, usually you can get one from a equipment rental company of of there used fleet. That way you can power the leg on off season. Plus you have backup for power outages.
Hey Chet, instead of wiring the Midland to keyed power, run it to a switch in the dash, but one that has a bright LED light on it, that way you still have the option of having the radio on when you're out in the field and not having to leave the ignition on, but you'll also have the reminder to turn the radio off when you're done for the day. Just gives you a little more flexibility.
Really enjoying watching your videos Chet. Cool videos. 👍👍👍❤️
Mine was auto crash related. Therapy works. I have 80% flexibility in hip and shoulder. Hard and long recovery
I just watched your last video and just a reminder to be careful when warming up the equipment. Someone I know just lost a tractor feed mixer and feed room because of the tractor block heater. Great video tho!
Hey Chet, I have a 2017 Honda Pioneer 1000/5 pretty much like yours. I believe there is a space for second battery under the hood for an auxiliary battery that you can put the radio on. This may help in keeping juice for starting power, also wire Midland to switch. A note, I have 5k on my Honda and it has been faultless, gets pretty consistent 18 mpg. Cannot say the same for other brands I have owned. Toby is priceless, take of that little one. Love your posts, and crew. Keep it up!
Get VFD on your larger motors! Will save you tons of money. Our power company here even gives rebates for them. Worth a shot calling them.
You might want to look at a soft start or VFD on your 3-phase motors. Expensive up front but will help with the demand charges.
We run 87 recreational in our 500 gallon "gas" . Non ethanol. We add a product call Gas SHOK. It gives us an 18 month minimum storage. It gets delivered from our Co-op. I need to use an Octane Boost to get to 93 for our boat. Best move ever for prevention of fuel related problems.
Nice video guys. thank you
Dougo and Chet I can give you a quick fix on the driveway mud problem. If you have 2 tractor tires that you want to get rid of, bolt the two together and get a piece of angle iron and bolt it to both tires so it will look like a triangle and hook a chain to it from the tractor and drag your driveway and the dirt and mud will break up and GPA will never see the mud or dirty driveway cuz it breaks it into pea size or smaller. Just a suggestion for you guys as it always worked for me and we had rock instead of gravel.
Good videos. From Algeria
Never ending cleaning
Better get one of those massive neco boost packs......they are impressive.
Gear jammin Swede!!! 😁
The struggle is real .my dad is the same way with mud on the driveway. Lol
You guys are great
Great content Chet
Weld a plate to the bottem ,Use a product called POR 15 to coat the inside of the tank for rust and thin spots
Enjoyed the show
Great video. Ready for planting, I know y’all are.
Another great video!!
I gave up and got 2 pairs of glasses. One with bifocals and one for the computer and welding.
Also hope the gas you put in all equipment boats, snowmobiles pumps etc. Is non ethanol.
Great video as usual !!!!!!!
Thanks for the entertainment.
Try POOR 15 on your fuel tank leaks, available from Summit or Eastwood. Works wonders!
Milwaukee & Snap On make a real nice industrial Battery Jump Box...its worth the price !
Another good video. Thanks.
Nice videos. At 73 years old, most of my life has consisted of unavoidable situations.
a idea for Dougo.... build a small solar farm that will produce plenty of electric that will feed all power for the bins. could feed the whole shop if you desire to. lol will like to see you trying it out you know technology and old age doesnt mix very well which will make a great content for Chet.
A larger air storage tank on the semi would help offset the sudden demand when you load the trailer. Have a great day.
Depending on how fast they can load and if they leave the brakes off off the truck when loading the front hopper and trailer brakes off on the back the air tanks should have enough air. It's never been a problem for me and I can load in 7 minutes out of our side draw and about the same out of our overhead. Truck Guage will read about 53lbs trailer 65lbs and I'm always between 80 and 81000. I'll pull ahead to the back hopper at 50lbs on the truck Guage
Fill the small spots with light weight closed cell foam. We did it on dirt bikes to prevent mud loading up under the motor
Chet, you looked like a drowned mouse at the end!! Great job, Guy's!
Hey Dougo I feel your pain on the readers. I've never been able to wear bifocals and the last prescription progressives I bough weren't aligned right. I found some really nice multifocus readers online that have worked for me for years. Mig welding before I found these things was almost impossible. I'll message you a link on your Facebook page.
Can you send me the link also ? Thank you
Well Dougo I guess a guy needs a plastic tank. It's a good thing you filled it with water.
..... freeze dried mud .. Yup! easier to dislodge ..... first time have noticed the construction belly dump .... do you also use that for gain, is it double purpose .... thx for the peek into your day .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Love the videos!
Gotta be careful when you keep jumping those batteries without load testing them.
The alternator is meant to keep the battery charged under normal load, not to be a “battery charger”.
You will end up with your alternator taking a dump if you keep running with bad batteries. Especially on that Pete. Been there, done that!
Keep up the great work!
Hey Larson Farms 🚜, why not utilize VFD's for your electric motor controls. You can program how fast or slow you want your motors to accelerate or decelerate. This eliminates that big rush of voltage that you get with motor starters
Came to same the same thing. We install them all the time on Air Handlers and pumps.
Have been using air scales since 2006 on our tri axles and super B trailers. They work great, usually pretty accurate, great for loading in field- little tricky with grain carts unloading in a hurry - make sure trucks running idled up
I get you Doug-o I have my trifocals adjusted similarly... worked out great.
Great videos keep it up
Those big 4d and 8d batteries if you take knows off and look at the cells if any are ever low you can add a battery acid pack to them instead of buying new batteries. Would save thousands over the years with all the equipment you all have to maintain
If you set your cruise and keep it idle up the air bags will keep up. That’s what we do and we can usually load off our guage on the dash. Just a friendly heads up. Definitely shouldn’t take 5 minutes to get it aired up. If so you’ve got issues
We have one of them scales on r reefer trailer and grandpa loves it and hates when he dnt have it on the newer trailer yet
I'm a fan of the Right Weigh Load Scale system
Good video
I've heard about a soft start system for 3 phase that helps with the demand/load charge your might look into it.
Hope this helps
Cheers
good Jumper cables are great. but get yourself a 10K amp goodall jump pack. it will start a stone cold dead tractor like it has new batteries in it.
I appreciate you all and your work ethic only wish are pols had the same
Great video
Doug we have hung our 500 gal ten yr old tanks up side down and turbo tip washed them out all kinds of ugly came out set them back up and dropped a trouble light in side and they looked like a new tank sand blasted and painted them.
If we were to want to store gas i would look for an anhydrous tank that can take pressure if i remember right you can lose up to eight gals of gas per month threw evaporation
Just saying
You could have got a better shot of that old Pete Cabover by the elevator! Maybe Dougo could add it to his Vintage truck collection?
My dad always used to say "Getting old ain't for sissies"
Add a second battery to your pioneer with an isolator to run accessories. Even if you leave it on the main battery will still be charged. Then while it’s running it will recharge the second battery.
Good thing you got a new guy to blame for the dead batteries and the mess in the yard
I recently bought portable jumper battery, and I can say they really work.recharge with phone USB, 110 etc, very handy in a 2in th, 4 in w, by 10 in l, plenty of power.
Hey chet my name is Lee and I'm from Dothan Alabama. I know that I'm a long ways away from you but I've been following your channel since day one well maybe day too not sure and I want you to know that I think you have got a really really awesome UA-cam channel for farming and I'm I got to be one of your best followers dude I don't comment on every video only because I just enjoy the videos there's no need for me to make a comment even if you're doing something that I don't agree with they're still not a need for me to comment because that's your channel you film and do what y'all do at your family farm but I wanted you to know that I really miss hearing and seeing Nicole in the videos and I know it's been a little while now but it ain't been long enough and you're doing a really good job from what I can tell from the videos of trying to move forward and have a good life and I'm sure I'm not the only person but I myself and many of other people are really proud of you for your age and dealing with the loss that you have dealt with you have done a really good job I'm really glad you kept the UA-cam channel going so I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your channel I've learned a lot from y'all and you're especially your dad y'all just do good and keep praying keep God on your side and y'all are going to be just fine thank you very much for the videos and for including all of us public in your life thank you very much have a good day and God bless.
do you have a gauge in the dash also for the air pressures or is it just on your phone we use a duel pressure gauge tractor and trailer in the dash it's nice but it would be nice to have it on your phone so if your in the bin sweeping you don't have to get and check the gauge
DOUG I use lined trifocals .I am watching you 30 ins from the screen perfect. The lines lock right in progressive are a pain and only ego or a way to charge more I tried them but no go. Thanks for another good show.
The Tobster is in the first shots :) :) :)
Fun fun fun
It sounds like you guys need a "Good" Jump Box instead of all of those jumper cables! My Jump Box starts the diesels in my boat no problem...Just a idea guys !
Actually, that fuel tank would be not that difficult to repair.
Simple torch out a rectangular section from the inside edge of those V shaped supports end to end then weld in new steel.
Flat is fine.
Curved isn't critical but you could pick up the steel pre Curved.
I used to weld for a company that occasionally did them before I went off to Coast Guard boot camp.
I was thinking the same, but flip it over, the top side probably still original thickness so it would be fine on the bottom, then do the repairs, easy to work on.
Need soft starts for your big electric motors! They do suck if you are trying to start a slugged leg though!!
