    I'm so proud of you Cole. Your grandfather would be busting with joy with the respect for his house. Working a full-time job while rebuilding his house. That is like a trophy that you live in. The work ethics that young people like you are doing video games and watching TV. Your dad is a solid part of life and taught you well. You put a bunch time and effort into you videos . Keep up the good work. Loved your brother REBUILD that truck. Being a Marine I love how you get things organized and in it's place. I watch every one videos because it brings a smile. Keep up the great work Cole. Neal

    Cole, I appreciate how you are vigilant about PPE and have it available to you whenever you're working around loud/dusty or other things. I work in a very different field but with all too familiar stories about folks exposed to these environments all their lives who now have cancer, hearing loss, or other ailments. People may criticize you for being dorky or whatnot, but it's called PERSONAL protective equipment for a reason - it's PERSONAL.

Congrats on the new Freightliner it looks very good for being a '95 and should be a great addition to the farm. Are You guys getting a Demo on a Large Grain Cart for this harvest season?. With all of the work you 3 have put in this looks to be a much less stressful harvest and hopefully hitting that 300 Bushel corn and 100 Bushel Soybeans target. As always thank you for bringing us along on these Journeys...... I think a lot of us are as excited as You all are to Git-R-Done.......

  • @jefferywright4204
    @jefferywright4204 Рік тому +2

    DC - Ask your buddies at Titan about stone drilling in tires. Besides being a hazard to your truck's cab (and your fellow motorists), those retained stones can cause premature failure of your tires - resulting in financial loss, injury, and even death. Not all tires are equal for stone retention performance - even within the rear traction design category. Perhaps top dressing your driveways with smaller crushed limestone material will also lessen the stone retention/stone rejection problem.

    • @ILGuy2012
      @ILGuy2012 Рік тому

      What about all those gravel roads they drive on in rural Iowa?

    • @jefferywright4204
      @jefferywright4204 Рік тому +1

      @@ILGuy2012 Are gravel roads heavily covered with stones of a uniform size with little size variation like this driveway? The answer is “no”. Are gravel roads typically covered by large smooth round stones? The answer is also “no”.
      The size and design of the grooves and cross slots in Cornstar’s drive tires are susceptible to trapping and retaining the stones. Tire companies (competent ones) can modify the size, shape, and distribution of their tread pattern grooves to improve the stone retention performance - usually at the expense of trading off other performance characteristics.
      Since they already have tires on their trucks and don’t want to buy new ones, the tread pattern is established until they buy new tires. The strategy to improve stone retention thus is to change the shape and average size of the stones covering the driveway to ones less likely to get stuck in the grooves.That is why the suggestion of applying a layer of crushed limestone over the problematic size and shape stones.
