Jim hanging off the door got me laughing so hard. Him and Jim talking like nothing is wrong makes it 10x better.
The way he was just casually riding and having a normal conversation cracked me up. 🤣
@@Studio23Media same here
North Dakota I call them shovels
i love Jim lol you should bring him around the camera more, always radiating positive energy ❤️❤️ glad y'all got everything under control and planted (for the most part)
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless of the situation!
Same here! Jim is just Jim. A genuine mid western farm guy. No faking who he is. Love that guy
Everybody needs a Jim
Would love to know more about him, seems like great example of a midwestern working man!
22:07 Too bad Jim did not hear him fart
The "stop flying over our farm swan" was hilarious 😂
Love those camera angles, man! I really do appreciate all the extra work you do to give us an interesting view.
When blocking under the trailer dollies you should place the blocking lengthwise with the trailer. That way if you back under and the trailer has sunk a little, you won't push it off the blocks with the semi tractor. Been there, done that, and it's not fun trying to crank the trailer up high enough to get the tractor under it.
he did that last year too
@@madflyer1093 no he didn’t.
It sank.
@@tclott316 i hope you’re joking
@@FarmerMan5972 nope. Watch the video.
good tip it even applies to people using small trailers
You and your dad are lucky to have a man of Jim's caliber working with you. Y'all seem to get along so well. Folks like Jim are rare gems (pun).
Don’t comment much, but you guys are my all time favourite farmer “actors” out there 😆.
Thank you!
Agreed
One of the easiest ways to get into the axle on a semi you need to tug out is turn the wheels out and reach down. It’s how I do it when the snow is on the ground. An old heavy wrecker driver showed it to me when I was learning heavy.
I'm on the other side of your problem and I'm guessing they are trying everything to get the thing going or at least we would be. BTW it would be awesome to get Jim on off the husk just to hear his side of life
If you put an empty seed bag (sack) under the dual wheel, it makes it much easier to skid on the concrete floor when you’re trying to align the holes in the dual with the axle studs. UK farmer here, love the content. Been watching since your subscribers were under 10k
You know what makes changing those sweeps way faster! A squeaky kids hammer!! That’s how it gets done 😄
Loved the unique angles Zack. I appreciate the extra effort!
Lmfao I love everyone of your videos Zach but I laughed so hard when Jim's golden heart and carefree attitude is laughing at the planter and your so frustrated and want to junk the planter. WE NEED MORE JIM'S IN THIS WORLD .
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better Steve, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and outspoken person
What Jim is calling actuators are actually slack adjusters.
If you know that one brake will hang up put the caging bolt in to lock that brake in the off position. The other 3 brakes should hold the trailer from rolling on you. We never had that problem because none of our trailers had maxis. If the caging bolt isn’t on the back of the maxi you can get one from your local NAPA or truck parts store.
We’ve run duals on our sprayer for years now. Best decision we made for our sprayer.
We love them too!
you guys sure work hard and put your time in. I'm a maintenance technician and all the sensor issues would drive me crazy. I wouldn't be able to film cause I'd be singing the cuss word blues.
Love the vids zach keep up the amazing work. Nothing better then coming home from school and seeing a new vid on your channel!!
You all make a great team. Jim is a great addition to the team, and that’s why you have him working so well for you. He has been in the farming business most of his life, and it shows. Best of luck, with the rest of your late planting season. I realize how tough this year has been very tough. I hope you did not get a second bunch of Damage, with the storms around Memorial Day weekend. I heard more tornadoes in your area
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better Steve, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and outspoken person
Have enjoyed your channel for years. I work on a large grain farm in northern Wi around 3,000 acres Many nice John Deere tractors 8345R and 8345RT just to name 2 . Glad to see you are getting cleaned up after the storm and crops in the ground.
I am also our local Fire Chief and have been trying to get grain bin saftey in our area with little success. Would very much appreciate any contacts you are willing to share to help make this happen. Duals on the spayer looks like a great idea!
Keep an eye on the channel and the descriptions, we will be figuring that out before long!
I second the info on grain bin safety contacts, I’m in rural, like 100 times more cows that people rural, Montana and can’t get much interest in getting people to come train us. We sorta have a clue what we are doing but not safe enough for me to say I’m comfortable doing it.
Jim is one cool dude!!!! Love that guy !
Love your videos thanks for taking the time. We love Jim he is an old school worker. We love that you ask your dad before you do things. It shows how much you respect him. We hate that you don’t have 1 million subscribers so Anna can’t go for a ride.
You need to watch some Matt's off-road recovery videos to see what those yankum ropes can really do. After seeing what he can pull out with an XJ Jeep your ranger would have been able to pull your truck out with no problem. Back up about 10 to 15 ft and give her the juice. Let the kinetic energy of the rope do the work.
It would be interesting seeing the dogs faces as the rope pulls the Ranger backwards. I admit to laughing seeing a Ranger hooked to a semi. Even with two dogs in for weight. It was a joke.
Also put a truck tire between 2 chains or straps and can get a good jerk on something stuck to pop out without the stress
@@clintgray1623 I have a 13” car tire. Didn’t need this year (yet) but it’s my go to for stuck tractors. Chain bolted around one side to drawbar hook, hook 2nd chain from other side of tire to stuck tractor. Pull. If poor tractor driver you stop breaking chains from jerk. Tire distorts, but returns. I have not busted it yet
I’m a farmer here in NE Iowa and I call the “shovels” on the tillage tool tines
I grew up on a farm but haven't been a farmer for 40 years but my first instinct was "shovel"
SE Neb, same.
Zack it is just wonderful the respect you show the Dad and Jim! They have older knowledge and you have the newer. Just wait till Onyx gets in there full time! Then you will have every base covered two ways from Sunday! What a great family you have!
Hello Zach! We are struggling trying to get hay dry here in Kansas between rains! We won’t complain though…no severe storms! It seems like Minnesota has become the new Kansas! “Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore!” Blessings from your fellow UA-cam friends from Kansas!
Western KS doesn’t have that problem. We can’t buy a rain
Were having the same problem but in alabama
@@kobybeougher7657 Yeah, you’re right! We are in Northeast Kansas. Hope you get rain soon…without the tornadoes!
Yea we’re getting rained out in parts of Va too. We couldn’t buy a rain last year.
I have been waiting for the episode that Jim returns, and it is here now. Hopefully he doesn't get fired again.
Thanks for your content.
Jim, don’t have his billfold with him.
Haven’t heard it called that in years.👍
Iike those cameras angles. Love seeing Jim joking around with you and your dad
Those yankum ropes are intended to have a lot of slack in them while you get up to speed and give one big TUG. They stretch and don't make a jolt like a chain would.
You should invest in an 8 or 12-row planter for your test plot. It would give the moline something to do during the spring 😉
This is the idea! Moline gets more camera time
Ideally I'd like to find an old 4 row cyclo, that's what Dad used to pull with it!
My neighbor has one. Im sure you can just have it for a t$hirt. They pulled it with a moline jet star.
The Moline would think it was at a tractor pull with a 12 row planter
There's one still sitting in the shed at the farm I grew up. You say the word we'll get it loaded on the truck headed your way lol
Love to see Anna taking care of Didge at 5:05 :) So sweet! And watching them riding in the backseat LOLOL Kudos to you for keeping a sense of humor, too- "Stop flying over our farm, swan!" LOLOLOLOL Those comedic references never get old!
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and outspoken person.
Hey Zach, try calling it "Confined space rescue equipment and training for silo rescue", that's what we call it here!😎
Been a rescue operator, team leader and Rural Fire fighter for many years.
I'm in central Illinois and help out on my family's farm.
We constantly switch up between calling "the digger" (as Zach calls it) either "field cultivator" or "soil finisher".
As for the parts you were replacing, we call those "sweeps".
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better Nick, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and very good person
Hi Zac. I am an retired farmer in South Australia and I really enjoy your channel along with the Larsons and Welkers. The sweeps on your digger (cultivator in SA) we call shears, no idea why but we do. Love the content as it completely different to my farming experience in cereal farming in mid north of South Australia.
Hi From New Zealand, I find it fascinating how you guys farm over there, be great to have you come over here and see how we do things
Make you tube video. I'll watch for sure. Mate? Too soon? Let's get kno the kiwis ppl
Buying a Yankum Rope is good insurance. Once you have it the tractors don't get stuck.
we call them shovels and I remember a time when they were bolt ons not knock offs..., Man did I think we were walking in high cotton when I didn't have to foul with rounded shoulder carriage bolts any longer!
We still use bolt on shovels we call them chisels i think
@@Llyduramax I remember my dad saying "this will never work" I think that first season he just swapped dozen of them or so on the outside cause he was all but convinced they wouldn't work......., we swapped the rest of them out the next year LOL
Great Vlogs. What good incentive you all get from your government to continue working and doing farming. Our farmers always complain they do not get any in couragment and the youths leaving farming to go into office jobs.
I hated dealing with test plots. Loading the hoppers, making 2 rounds then having to vacuum out the seed just to do it again
Good I'm glad Jim let you buy him supper
Great camera angles as always man. I appreciate the time and energy it takes to make it happen. What should have been a quick 20 second pullout of the tractor probably took you 5 minutes. It looks so seamless after Becky edits it, but we all know the work that goes into it. Keep up the great work!!
I actually plant test plots for a living with a company out of Indiana. We use 2 row air and cone planters. Neat to see how you do it with a big planter!
Good evening from Milton Pennsylvania.
good evening from Chelsea oklahoma
Evening from St.Clould,Minnesota.
I have full faith this is the year for sticks! Kidding. Hope y’all have a smooth season
Zach, the way we did truck tires was with two levers so you could walk it round and in, but those were not as heavy as that tractor wheel and tire.
I am a farmer in Western Australia and we call them sweeps and points depends which generation you are talking to.
I am 22 myself and would refer to them as points.
One of the best channels out there man
Jim has a great way of looking at problems humor is sometimes all you have left.
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better David, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and cool person
Hey Zack, I think the Polaris would have pulled the truck out if you had used the rope as intended. It is a kinetic rope so with slack in the rope go hard and let the rope stretch. You will get added force in the rope. Watch Matt's Off road recovery channel and you will see how a small light jeep can pull heavy loads.
Ah, thats why he uses them type ropes! He's been der, done dat! Lol
A hint. If your looking for flotation. Reverse the cleats of the duals. It pushes dirt under not out. Many urs of farming sugar sand.
It's funny how Zach's dad never gives him a straight answer when he asks him what to do.
thanks guys
It’s a lot easier to plant plots with our case planter. The only thing we have to do is turn off bulk fill or center fill and you can plant. We don’t have to add extension or put plugs on.
Jim is a rock star!!!!!
He never gets excited!! It’s sad you must remove your electronics for fear of thievery.
When I was a custom operator for the co-op our motto was never to wet , never to windy just go spray.
Great video Zach. I am from Australia and we call them points. Love your videos
Thanks for another great video Zach.
It was interesting for sure with planting going on.
You asked about duals on the sprayer. To me, the thing to do with all the mud and wet spots. You are going to need those duals this year by my judgement. Got them on anyway.
Truck and trailer stuck. No wonder with the rain and storm that rolled thru.
The handy dandy rope did the job once again. Those are the best product ever.
Planting. Well, not too bad but you had some problems.
This test plot thing. Sorry, but you have me totally confused completely. Wow.
Assume you are doing this for you seed corn company????
But you got me lost changing those Boxes. Oh well, getting old is tough.
You are getting planting down to the wire-ya!!!!!!
The old moline started good to pull the semi out. Good stuff.
About it I guess. Trust your fertilizer truck will show in the morning so you can get moving with the planter. Good going Zach and Jim and Dad.
Good to see Jim again. Good guy there you have for help. That extra hand is so good to have.
All for now. I will be quiet for a change.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video. Appreciate this good run of videos.
Thanks for everything and the filming. Thanks too Becky for editing.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
Keyboard warrior here…those black squares are where tow hooks go into and lock in under the hood. They should be in the side box. On the frame. Or at a dealership. It’d probably be easier than rolling in the dirt.
We have been meaning to get a hook for that truck, but haven't yet
Hi man, congratulations for your job. I'm from Brazil, also work with agricultare in the state of São Paulo, in city Guatapará. 🚜🚜🇧🇷🇧🇷
I wouldn't have the patience for that planter. Feel the pain and aggravation jumping through the screen. Glad you have Jim and dad to help vent if not fix.
Q: How many millenials does it take to mount dualies on a sprayer?
A: Just one, if he has two boomers for backup.
I'm super impressed that those bags of corn from last year didn't get destroyed by mice!! I put mine in plastic totes now mice went crazy on a couple bags a few years ago.
Your camera angles are always appreciated! I've never done videos for UA-cam, but I have dome some video production and I understand how much work it takes to keep moving cameras around and all the time to edit. You and Becky do an amazing job!
The joke about being voted "mostly likely to make tractor videos'" was good, then I went, wait, UA-cam didn't exist when I was in high school and I think you're a little older than I! Thanks again for the great content!
Here in eastern ND, Sweeps are on the cultivator, points on the chisel plow and shovels have a wood or fiberglass handle and are for digging a hole with.🙂
Agree. Same way here in NE.
Cage the brake that sticks on the sprayer trailer when you park it at the end of the season so it doesn't stick. Make sure to chock the tires, and to uncage it before you take it on the road.
There should be a Caging Bolt with a T head on the side of each parking brake pod. The T head goes into the hole in the center of the brake can (pop the rubber plug out), and then you turn it a quarter turn at the bottom of the hole to lock it in.
You don't need to tighten the nut, just insert it with the trailer brakes released, and turn the nut down so it's barely touching, and when you apply the brakes it will keep the spring from putting pressure on the brakes.
Install the cage bolts on whichever brakes stick every year in the shop, and then park the trailer, and in the spring take it back to the shop to remove the bolt, so no crawling in the mud!
As long as you aren't parked on a slope, having one or two wheels with no parking brake is not a problem, especially if you throw some chocks behind the tire to remind you to un cage them in the spring! Lol
when they where working on the trailer brakes i was menatally yelling "just cage the brakes and move it off the grass" but the only reason i even know its a thing is i watch truckin channels to 😁
@@thedragonhunter in this video, caging the brakes wouldn't have helped though.
The spring brakes were releasing, and the slack adjusters and thus cams were moving, so it was the brake pads basically corroded onto the drum that was locking the wheels.
Caging the brakes just compresses the parking brake spring, and does the same thing the air does, it doesn't force the pads off the drum, only the return spring does that.
So yes, when the brake pads are frozen to the drum like that, hammers and pry bars are the only way to break it loose, they were doing everything correctly (diesel/industrial mechanic and heavy haul driver here, with plenty of experience with these things! Lol)
The suggestion of caging the brakes was to prevent them from getting corroded to the drum over the winter, by simply keeping them from touching the drum after it was parked.
If it was caged the brakes would not have been touching the brake drum
@@davecramer9725 once the brake shoes are rusted to the drum, caging the brake chamber has no effect.
The cam that applies the pressure to the shoes backs off, but it doesn't pull the shoes away from the drum. The only thing pulling the shoes away from the drum is the small return spring, which is no match for the corrosion.
My suggestion is to cage the brakes before parking it over the winter so they don't corrode onto the drum, but that's the only scenario where caging the brakes would help in this situation, because applying air pressure to release the spring brakes does exactly the same thing as caging the brakes, and that part was working properly in this video.
Hi Millennials, You have the best channel to learn about North American agriculture managing and English vocabulary related, I from Brazil, actually working as Precision Agriculture Supervisor, I always deal with lots of agriculture data and that channel provides kind pf significant good data and information, thank you, awesome work and content, hopefully i'll be Traveling to north America next year to meet some new technology in some workshops and agro events! Really appreciate ur content, 🙏 god keeps you guys!
I´m from argentina and we call them "pie de pato" the traduction in englich would be "duck feet"
Starting too figure put when you dad says something he never usually say do this but makes suggestions then you have too pick up on what he really wants.. What a nice guy i could work for him 40 years
Why didn't you use the fork lift on the tires, Larson farms did it with their fork lift using the skid steer.
This....
In Western Australia on our far we call them points, and to make them last longer on our heavy soils we weld a railway bolt down the centre of each point.
Zach have you tried the high productivity sweeps (Dad calls them shovels) that Deere sells? We've been really happy with them, they last longer and do a better job I think. They are wider than the standards you are running.
Yeah we tried them and actually thought they wore out faster. We're currently running a mixture lol
I hate this planter I've had it!!! I love this planter, it tells me when something is wrong!! I hope both you and the planter survive the season!
Honestly, I'd try a different one but only if he has that dealer close by.
Congratulations on 9 million subscribers
9 million?🤣🤣🍻🍻🤟🥃
908,000 , that is nine hundred and eight thousand.

“Sweeps”. We called the narrow ones “points” Illinois/Texas
You cant start a video without them fighting its a trend now😂
We all need a Jim . Good job all thanks for sharing

He doesn’t edit. His wife aka Becky does it
I’m from Australia and we call them knife points love your videos keep up the good work❤️❤️

We call them shovels here in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Another Great video, Stay safe, Stay Calm and Farm on my Friend, Peace
Howdy Arthuk.
Jim was comfortable under that trailer he wasn't going to move until you mentioned it, he wasn't worried.🤠
Down here in Iowa, they're sweeps.
Man, you got the best farming UA-cam channel, and Jim and your Dad really help that.
The guy always has a chuckle in him, regardless the situation
Id love to know you better Ben, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and outspoken person
Them ol'molines can pull. One of the best tractors made
Aren't electronics wonderful. It can be very useful but also very frustrating. Love watching you guys. Hope the weather settles down and you get your planting done. Good luck on your storm damage.
Love how Dig and Anna are just chillin lol
The things you do to benefit the kids are so awesome!! Loved Ana and the cat. That was hilarious.

We call em sweeps in the low country of South Carolina. Keep up the great work. We enjoy watching the videos. God Bless Yall!
It seems like as technology progresses with machines and computers, it's like your job is getting harder. I understand that planting is already a hard job to do and with the equipment now you can plant much more in a day than how it used to be, but, if you didn't have to deal with the headaches of malfunctions daily it would be so much better. Farmers are so under-appreciated for the job they do, but it is people like you that keep this country fed. Thank you for all your time devoted in what you do for us!
Northeast Missouri,we call em shovels and any of them behind a track or tire! “Compaction” expires 3X faster. Thanks for the content we love keeping tabs on y’all
jim is the best. Zack it is always good to have such great knowledge around when you need it
Thumbs up for all those unique camera angles. 🤣😃👍
Zach, You may want to think about getting rid of that damn planter and get you either a Case IH or Kinze.
The cat and dog shots were worth a like on its own, also your humor/ sarcasm helps too
I just wanted to grow up and be the farmer's right hand so I could fix everything but still do my job and put my Love and respect into the career it's a lifelong journey and I enjoy your hard work family.
We ran duals on our 4730 for for 10 years, and loved them so much we have them on out R4030. Way easier to change back and forth than floaters with the added benefit if running them in crop for post if things are too soft too.
In Australia NSW we call them "points" on the end of the "tynes" or shanks as you may call them. A tyned primary implement is a chisel plough 12 inch spacing and secondary is a scarifier 7 inch spacing. The chisel plough can have chisel points or bigger say 16 inch sweeps. The scarifier only has points even though they may be 9 inches wide.
I grew up with shovels on cultivators and sweeps on the heavy chisels. To each their own I'd say.
