Until I started watching Ur channel I had forgotten how hard & never ending farm work is. It was hard being a hired hand in the 60's; I can't imagine how hard it is in this day & age. Do me a favor if Ur near the f bridge do a video shot going over it. ..thx keep up the good work
I like your video so much Nick, Its great that you show that farming is not just all tractor driving, You have to be a jack of all trades, Love your channel best on youtube imo. Stephen.
That you Nick. I see your dad is getting some air time in now also go Robert. Sounds like you have a good plan for the bins to set on. Shale for ground cover good way to keep weeds down. I am glad the auger part of the service truck did the work that needed to get done. Scott quite playing all the time lol.
We appreciate it brings out our inner child with playing in the sand and playing with a dump truck and a bulldozer loading the sand in the back of a little toy lol congratulations and I'm getting a hundred thousand let's get to a million and then were talking some serious good channeling
I can't wait to see the final thing... hope it works well!! crazy to see yall doin your own concrete work... that really takes some serious muscle and energy to do that
Glad to have a chance to help with the 100k celebration. Feeling for you, the temp here in st Augustine Florida today 1/4/2019 is an unusual 61, and its raining
You were right about being careful with that articulating loader under weight - seen a few where it messed them up pretty badly! Pays to be careful and take your time!
It is a Altec Digger Derrick with electric over hydraulic standup console. The hoses in the Digger Derrick are dielectric safe and hopefully it has a fiberglass bucket with upper controls that you can work hot lines. The winch is so useful on this unit. Very surprising what you can pick up but be sure to look at the load angle chart. I worked for Altec and to testify about an accident where the guy was using the winch and upper controls in the fiberglas bucket but he wasn’t using a safety harness and lifting a tree trunk and he accidentally cut his winch rope on a heavy pull. It threw him 200 feet in the air to his death. He would be alive today only if he used his safety harness.
I used to have 2 big slabs of green isinglass that I was going to incorporate into my fireplace when I built my cabin that never got built. Ended up selling them to a guy for like $600 a slab!!
Reply to Brad not Landa Generally any porous gravel allows water to drain out so it won't heave in winter freezing. That pad might still heave depending on what's under it. Shale is a sedimentary formation of old plant residue and they frequently have a lot of ionized minerals in them, which are VERY healthy if extracted with an organic acid. Thinking the shiny must be mica OSHA loves Leg Arms.
Our funniest concrete story. Me and my dad were pouring concrete one day for the new barn floor. We had about one half yard left and we decided to pour under a gate that our hogs were rooting under. We hurried up and pored the extra that we had and mom called us for lunch. After lunch we went out to look at the concrete we poured under the gate and it had disappeared. Dad looked at me and I looked back like what happened. We looked at the hogs that were about 150 pounds and everyone of them had gray whiskers. Yes the hogs ate that half yard of concrete. My dad got worried and called the vet and he was laughing and didn’t think it would hurt them. I looked at my dad and said it would be interesting to weigh one of the hogs since we liked them at 210 to 230 pounds for market. I told my dad that I’ll bet everyone of the hogs gained 10 pounds.
Very entertaining video. Fun to watch the process. While I was watching I was thinking what a great life you must have. Must be nice living out on the farm with family and not a bunch of people around. I live just outside the city of Los Angeles and it's crowded everywhere. Just a thought. By the way, your brother is a crack up.
am really hooked on watching your vids! is it ok to make a request? with all the hard work that you guys do, especially during harvest time, i'd love to see the kinds of foods that your mom and wives make to keep you guys going :) do they have a cookbook of recipes?
Thanks for watching! Yes they are great cooks, honesty they cook meals that are quick and easy and that feed a crew well. No cook books but must handed down recipes that have become traditional. We do a lot of lunch box's with sandwiches and odds and ends too.
don't forget that the service truck with the hydraulic drill can put in power pole screw anchors with ease... so you can bind down stuff.. or run massive chains thru the eyes to prevent equipment from leaving when nobody is watching it.
Scott, Matt Carriker, DVM, from Demolition Ranch YT channel started a company to distribute merch. for UA-camrs (if you haven't found a company by now). He is in Texas.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that is made from clay and some other muds compacted together, around here, it used to be mined and ground up to be made into clay for bricks. The shiny stuff was either mica or quartz I think.
@@WelkerFarms I believe that was quartz with iron pyrites in it, where my family comes from in eastern ontario there is a lot of marble, when I was a kid all the little chips and flakes that are created during the mining are used on the roads by our county as its free as opposed to gravel which costs $$$$ so we have white and rose coloured rds. it's a common thing now, but it this part of waddle creek there is still some left from the last time the did the rd about 15 yrs ago www.google.com/maps/place/French+Line,+Lanark+Highlands,+ON+K0G+1K0/@45.1083157,-76.5270096,309m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cd238ee47478fe3:0xb1c857bb3813bcdb!8m2!3d45.1312198!4d-76.5328895
*Those old internationals had those giant cigarette trays in the center console, I'm pretty sure everyone uses those as cup holders, the funny thing is that doing that worked better than using the nostalgic cupholders that were so narrow that they made Everything fall out and spill on the ground, and yes that happens to me a lot, sorry I'm a semi truck buff*
Dad seems pretty laid back with you two sons. He must be tired after yelling at you both all through high school and such! What a great life to be able to keep him close. Only get one Dad!! I'll bet you and legarms put him through the ringer.
Right on Nick another awsome video man and glad to Scott clowning around. Hes brilliant Nice to see dad in video cant wit see the case looks like a great tractor. AAA++++
Thanks for another good video. Very natural n hilarious good time working together.

Back here in NH we bury our old folk in graves laying down, none of that new-[fangled upright burial crap! Nice to see Robert in the videos
A good example of why having the right tools is so important. That auger rig saved a ton of work.

tHANKS for conducting Hollywods school on soil & rocks on the Welker farm.
Leg Arms: "I came in like a wrecking ball!"

Great video. I agree Harry Benjamin is amazing. A video with him would be interesting for sure.
Hey thats a new sort of 360 video!👍👍
Very familiar with shale...that clear-opackie stuff we call ‘mica’. We played with this as children too. Good memories...
That you Nick. I see your dad is getting some air time in now also go Robert. Sounds like you have a good plan for the bins to set on. Shale for ground cover good way to keep weeds down. I am glad the auger part of the service truck did the work that needed to get done. Scott quite playing all the time lol.
Thank you! Yes, he is not being so camera shy now :) haha
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a auger, baby

I just saw the Cummins repower y’all did to that loader. Should have painted it white and called it a Lift Bud! ROCK ON Welker!
Like the fact that you found him being sick made my day you need to tell leg arm to do another Build video the last one was pretty cool
Stay tuned for more leg arms videos!
It looks like water, and i think there is a waterbottle on the truck in the background :D
We appreciate it brings out our inner child with playing in the sand and playing with a dump truck and a bulldozer loading the sand in the back of a little toy lol congratulations and I'm getting a hundred thousand let's get to a million and then were talking some serious good channeling
Lol Leg arms cracks me up, And yes... those small slabs WILL work :) nice vid sorry for the late comment...
Awesome videos. Love the realness of them and the funny bits you are putting in them.
Thanks!

"Spin me Nick, spin me!" There's nothing better than a good stomach-purging event to add some humor to an ordinary day.

Love that Jake Brake!
You were right about being careful with that articulating loader under weight - seen a few where it messed them up pretty badly! Pays to be careful and take your time!
You guys work so well together, it almost looks natural.(tongue in cheek). Thanks for video time.
Thanks!
Lots of laughs 😂 .... had a “milk chug challenge “ flash back and as always thanks God bless
As a kind you played with your toys dreaming of the real thing. As an adult you are a better operator because of you experince as a kid.
I know everyone likes the Big Buds, but I always love the vids what have that old 844 in them. That thing is a beast.
Nick shale chunks are heck on car tires. Great video
We do appreciate it by the way.
im loving that dump truck it sounds excellent.
Love the vids hollywood! Farmer from iowa here and love watching. Hope to be able to visit you guys sometime and see the farm!
Thanks!

‘Laser eye’ leg arms - great job man 👌
Love the sound of that Jake 2:03-2:06
I bet Mrs Welker had her hands full with Nick and Scott. I can imagine that they were always up to something.
Nice job you and your farm Is awesome
Thanks!
LOL WHAT IS THAT THUMBNAIL! CLASSIC LEGARMS
Hello from Kalispell! It is mica, also called isinglass. Years ago they used big pieces of it in stove doors.
I used to have 2 big slabs of green isinglass that I was going to incorporate into my fireplace when I built my cabin that never got built. Ended up selling them to a guy for like $600 a slab!!
We always build extra forms. Never can have enough concrete pads. Along with saves dumping $$ in a ditch somewhere.
True!
Great video!
Thanks!
good job I love this video. do keep up the awesome job

lmao Scott is a born comedian :D
He is pretty great!
I Loved the Tonka trucks
Shale makes great road beds.
Dig deep Nick!
I noticed you like that jake break hahaha
Great video
Thank you!
The name is of the stuff in the shale is mica, used on my grand-ma coal furnace to make the window.
You guys handle that concrete like a bunch of farmers. Good enough.
Hi, I think the phone worked great!!! God bless
Thank you!
Shale is a sedimentary rock that is made from clay and some other muds compacted together, around here, it used to be mined and ground up to be made into clay for bricks. The shiny stuff was either mica or quartz I think.
Thanks for the informative information, can't seem to remember these things.
A large majority of that shale looks like the shale from forging metal, Cool
love the video hope i get to met you one day!!!!
I keep thinking an old utility company truck like that would make an awesome service truck. Even seen a few that are 6 wheel drive.
Red is most likely iron as you said. The crystal looks like quartz .Nice video.
At the farm I live on we use shale to make roads
Nice!

We have alot of shale/slate here in appalacha. But I've never seen the crystals. I'll be sure too look for some now lol
Dad seems pretty laid back with you two sons. He must be tired after yelling at you both all through high school and such! What a great life to be able to keep him close. Only get one Dad!! I'll bet you and legarms put him through the ringer.
@Robert Welker Was impressed with dad cleaning out the holes. My dad worked into his late 70's, but he wouldn't be in hole with us two boys there!
Right on Nick another awsome video man and glad to Scott clowning around.
Hes brilliant Nice to see dad in video cant wit see the case looks like a great tractor. AAA++++
Thanks!
Hey Hollywood, I think we called the glass stuff mica??....wayne
Thank you!
Sounds good enough to me
Still getting use to one brother referring to the other as Leg Arms...
That is hilarious to me for some reason.
