  • Snow or not it's time to get the planter ready to go! Today we're going through the planter in preparation for spring planting 2022. Everything was running great last spring so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. ‪@ZKMasterTech‬ knows their stuff! 5 minutes into the project and we've found our first potential problem.

    Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
    With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

    This is Zeth's Dad, just wanted to thankyou. It's an opportunity to see my son doing his thing and seeing his passion to do a great job. The old days of working out in the garage on his 77 Nova seem like nothing compared to his skillset today. Love your channel!

    I have no idea why I am here. I am a city boy who will never touch a JD tractor/planter. Yet I am glued to the screen like I am studying for a final exam. I think it's just watching people who are at the top of their professions do their things. Master mechanics and a Master farmer gettin' it done. I went over to watch the full video of ZK MasterTech and was very impressed with the more technical stuff.

    You could put 1, 2, or 3 colored zip ties on each hose denoting remote left, remote right, return. Reduce your thinking and make it a visual identifier. All singles are remote left, all doubles are right, and triples are returns.

Had a 7200, 24-row, Deere planter myself; and I've went to Sloan's in Taylorville, IL for parts (I think that was the first of their dealerships; and I was surprised to see their service rep. in your shop). Hoping that I can meet all of you at, maybe, the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA. this summer.
