Isn't it great that you can send Grandpa down to get the worn out parts repaired or replaced? Give him a hug and enjoy having him around telling you not to mess up the yard. Keep safe!
I'm a 30yr retired Fireman, the Snorkel is hooked to a engine to punp water to it the little nozzle under the basket is to protact you from the heat of a large fire which this is mostly used for at one fire I spent 12hrs up in one

So most if not all of those snorkels were not designed to pump their own water that’s why it has no pump. They were designed to have a line run to them from a pumper truck to supply them water. Hope you guys have a great harvest.
I was a volunteer fireman/EMT while going to college (long time ago as I am retired). We had an American La France 80 boom-snorkel truck. I was one of 12 student that lived at station upstairs. The University Of Idaho in Moscow. Built the Kibby dome. . It looked like a half a soup can on its side with 180 feet to the under of the ceiling. We had a sales demonstration inside the dome for the air filled stunt/rescue bags which are inflated with smoke evac fans. The boom was at 60 feet and I was one of six to have an opportunity to jump. The procedure was to jump out and kick your feet in front of you and fall back first . When I jump and fell back first my mind freaked out as it id not natural to fall back first. My heart hit at 180 BPM. I had no sensation of hitting anything or stopping. It was an unique opportunity that one doesn't repeat. The one you bid on was an aerial basket. The truck did not have its own pump, that I could see. You would need another pumper truck that would supply 750 to 1200 GPM at 40-80 PSI. Water supply would be a big problem.
Uoy guys need one of the small firetruck they use on brush fires to clean the tracks of your equipment in the field instead of that toy pressure cleaner. They're designed to use water from multiple sources including creeks and ditches. I'm impressed how Y'all get so much done on pretty much everything you need to do including building that upstairs living area. No lollygagging for you guys. Even Dougo keeps busy.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all and most important: I trust you have recovered from the storm damage and trust everyone is ok. I hope your damage was not too severe. Bad deal these storms. You all take care. Now back to this video. A fire truck, come on now. Spring better get here soon or these guys will have you crazy Dougo. $16 at Dairy Queen was a good trade off. Sorry about the skid loader. Hopefully the pump overall will not be too bad. Lot to take apart to get it out. Good to see Toby. Looks like his leg is much better. Good Toby. Just remember, no fire 🔥 trucks. Once again, sending my best wishes that your storm damage was not too severe and all of you are ok. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Take the tank off and sell the extension ladders, make a shop and tool truck out of it. The ladder will be excellent for servicing the leg, dryer and lots of high work, tree topping, roof repairs and even a tow truck for the yard. Maybe not. Call me if you need suggestions.
Chet, Doug Amy and family, I hope you all are safe and maintain courage to rebuild what’s been damaged by the storms. My two favourite UA-cam families (you and Millennial Farmer) have been pillars in the community and I hope you get back on your feet quickly and safely. 🇨🇦
SNORKEL. My dad was one the first employee’s of Snorkel! He started building all the gigs for all of the weld mets. Later to in 1979 I also were building the booms for the trucks by looking at it that’s a single axle possibly a 55 foot my dad may have a diary of exactly when that truck was built. His name is Ellis
Fire coach was Crown Coach - boom is used With a Pumper inline. Bucket is a lift only, you need a Pumper separately. Looks like a Los Angeles City California unit.
I bought a 64 Ford like it about five years ago. 2200 miles total and still inspected for service. It is an awesome addition to a farm. And built to last. That’s what I paid for mine - you missed out!
Glad to hear no one was hurt....had to be especially scary for your Grandparents! Sometimes Mother Nature is the best content creator. Best of luck with insurance co's and getting everything ready to plant.
As a person from your Grandfather's generation, you boys have NO idea how good you have it. Heated building, concrete floors, all the tools in the world, plenty of help.
Hope you all are OK. Zack Johnson indicated that you got hit sorta hard by the wind like he did with some damage to equipment and buildings. Saw your 2 pics on the shorts channel. Didn't see a post here for 3 days so I guess you're sorting stuff out and had this as a "banked video". Keep up the good work, hope all are well and healthy and good luck. Equipment and buildings are replaceable, people, not so much.
Would be a lot more convenient buying one of those, that way you done have to lug a water pump around when Yous wash the quad tracks, fill the tank up and you got a massive mobile pressure washer 😂😂🤟🤟 I love it keep it up Larson’s
@@Dave5783 this video was probably posted and made before the storm hit their property.. I saw pictures on Facebook of how much damage they had, and it's not good
@@Dave5783 These videos aren’t current with todays date. Storm came through this past Thursday night and a lot of damage after it. A tornado went through 10 miles from where I’m at.
I had a big half dead elm tree between my neighbor and where I was building a new pole barn, So I hired a tree crew to top, cut in sections and take it down. These guys showed up with a fire truck that had a 65 foot snorkel boom with man basket. It was a 1960 International Harvester firetruck, that had been the first truck of it's kind for New York City. It was in excellent shape. The tree guys found it on eBay and had last seen service in a small town in Illinois. It did have a pump and water tank. I saw it recently and it is still in service for the tree company. 62years old.
When you see the fire truck knowing that the farm took the hit from the Storms the other day, and nothing in the vlog about it!!! Good thing for Farm insurance at all costs!!! the Leaking drive in the skid steer seems to be the least of your problems at this point! Wishing you all the best, and that no one was hurt and equipment can be replaced!!! you Not so much!
You need 41 inch pipes about 16 inches long get this size started up and move that track forward and replace a pipe on every tooth on the belt and it was slide right off of the idler that easy
Actually worked on that fire truck at NDSCS in 2018 worked on the tail lights and I think the rear stabilizer cylinder was fixed it was leaking when it came in also some other random problems that I can't remember.
Every large farmer absolutely need a brush truck or an engine with a tank. Tanks it to the field when your harvesting- may save a combine or acres of crop one day.
Chet as soon as you said in the last video we are all caught up on maintenance and have little to do I knew you were headed for a breakdown on something. Jinx.
Planting question....if you see a rock up ahead do you stop for it? What is the minimum sized rock that you would stop planting for to pick up? Also, ever find arrow heads in the fields?
It's a elevated master stream truck, (snorkel). A line from a pumper (engine) supplies it. Be a lot of fun & probably handy during bin/dryer clean up time. Retired firefighter here.
@@OOpSjm , if all they want is a high rise water shooter, you can supply it with a larger transfer pump & water supply from their trailer. Sold anyway.
Many of those auctions allow a bidder to set a maximum and it incrementally raises as others bid.. Ladder and bucket trucks don't usually have a pump. They get hooked to a pump truck for a water supply.
Love you videos..just a tip. When your have the height use a long chain to lift stuff like that final drive out..it's much easier to figure out the "side" pull..As well as that a long chain does not drop much when it swings. I know you have holes in end of forks so it's good work practice to use them as a slip stop. A good habit might just stop a unwanted slip off one day that leads to a breakage or injury. We all need to end the day uninjured. Liked your track removal. Usually a block of wood or similar jambed under green track and driven around the sprocket will squeeze all the grease off. I would be surprised if there is not a hole you can put a bar thru to stop the idler blowing out again. Have fun guys.
Let the young guys buy the truck, then they will have to spend there allowance. I'm glad I have this channel, whoever knew farming could be so much fun
Very concerned about you all! I have seen other videos of the storm damage and saw and heard comments about damage at your place. Hope everyone is OK and your operation is ale to be up and running soon. Wishing you the best while you deal with insurance and recovering from the damage.
20:10 .9375 (15/16th) - .945 (24mm) No Chet they are not the same and you would corner the 15/16th nuts with the 24mm. Wrong sockets break knuckles and fingers. We ran a business for more than 30 years. We had one accident in that time that required hospital care when a clamp broke on a conveyor and went through an employee's hand. Work place safety is a critical part of any operation. Stupid little things are the ones that get by and cause the most damage. Like a wrong sized sockets.
Glad all you guys are ok. Feel for you guys what a spring. Usually the way it is, good prices and something standing in the way. Love Dougo , he's got to get to the fields soon or he is going to loose it lol 😄
Hello Chet Dougo, Amy , Eric hope your insurance will help get your storm damage ben’s and tractor , augers fix before harvesting crops have to be harvest. Glad to see the whole family is okay . So your family lived on a farm with animals hummmmm now it’s agriculture fields and fields of crop’s .
I drove a Snorkel, exactly like that, many years ago. Like many departments, we hung onto it, way too long. We called it the Klingon Cruiser!
"You could park here if you had a fire truck" BEST comment of the week!!!!
Isn't it great that you can send Grandpa down to get the worn out parts repaired or replaced? Give him a hug and enjoy having him around telling you not to mess up the yard. Keep safe!
I hope you guys can get that stuff cleaned up after the storm & hopefully soon you will be in the fields finally. Keep it up Chet
I agree what farm doesn't need a fire truck especially when you guys wash equipment as much as you do
Been to Wilmar a lot back in the day. We had a cabin on lake Norway for 22 years. Lots of great memories!
Dougo is the bomb.... And that's all there is to say about that. Chet you have an awesome Dad !!!

"Is that a mouse?" Touches to make sure. You're great Dougo!

So, if You couldn't get it started, how would you tilt the cab to get at the engine with that boom hanging over it?
Sorry to hear about the storm damage add it to the list. Just be thankful everyone is OK.
Anyone else watch the track removal and yell, Welkers did it! They got a good quick system.
Sorry about the storm on the farm
I actually think there should be a Larson Farms show on tv. I’m in.😂another awesome video. Bring on the seeding.👍
Between all the work you were finding and the auction bids spring was getting expensive. Now with the storm got really expensive
21:00 thanks for the Sunday morning chuckle
Now that's a rad Fnord Stooper Dooty!!! Seriously tho that's a great buy!!!
Head over to the Bobcat plant in Gwinner ND. I bet they have a drive motor on the shelf they will swap you.
Chet Eric Dougo Broodie and MoM great video really enjoyed it so fire truck ok was some one out in that last storm to long

Buy “ The track tool system” for your track removal and install. I fought them for years got the tool so much easier.
You need 41 inch pipes about 16 inches long get this size started up and move that track forward and replace a pipe on every tooth on the belt and it was slide right off of the idler that easy
Sorry about the storm damage and prayers for planting season and quick and easy on the wallet repairs.
Actually worked on that fire truck at NDSCS in 2018 worked on the tail lights and I think the rear stabilizer cylinder was fixed it was leaking when it came in also some other random problems that I can't remember.
The ladder truck without a pump needs a fire truck hooked to a hydrant. They use a 4" or 5" supply line to feed water to the ladder truck.
Problem is , it needs another fire truck to feed it water.
@@ianslow1234 Easy fix... buy two!
I am glad everyone made it safely through the storm. Too bad, you didn't get the firetruck. Great video.
Great video you guys are a blast to watch.
hey your opening shot you should do one with just like that but of the after affects of the storm! Happy to here your all ok.

What year did you get , I love those new DCT trannies
There is a company in Texas that refurbish drives for bobcat way cheaper than new.
I wish I would know you people earlier the city I live near was selling two pumper trucks they went for 600 dollars a piece.
The fire truck is a good idea for cleaning everything!!
You could always use the firetruck to pressure wash equipment out by the crick! Extend the ladder so you won't be back splashed.
