Hi editor, a small request-- since there is a lag time between video and airing date, is it possible to post on screen the actual video date? Would help to keep track of the weather you're experiencing , etc. Noticed it on a Welker Farms video and thought it was a great idea. Hope you do too!

Zac, around here in Southern Illinois, the farmers buy the antifreeze by the 55 gallon drum. Add a hand pump and rig up a cheap garden hose and it easier and I think a little cheaper. Hope this helps.
That system the gas company used to trench with is called a HydroVac. Water injection (hydro) to loossen the dirt, and a vacuum tank to remove it. (vac)
Hahahaha your "water shovel" is a vac trailer, baby brother to a vac truck (usually mounted on a T800 Kenworth or similar), and they are lifesavers. Pair those with flowable fill (like concrete without cement in it but still comes in a concrete truck) and you have the dream team for tying into existing utilities without damaging anything.
Taking drive shaft off. I have learned in the past year that if you pull on the belt and rotate the shaft backwards it releases the pressure on the shaft and it slides right off.
Drove past the shooting park today, getting close. And a good looking soybean crop for beach sand. Goes to show all that damn rain was good for something .
Excavating with water is called HydroExcavation. The process is use to avoid electric, gas and fiber optic lines. It causes minimal disruption in the soil. No backhoe needed.
I had a dozen 1 gallon bottles of RV antifreeze sitting in the unheated shop this winter and they were all froze solid when it got cold out. And it was well above the specs at the bottles had printed on them. That being said the plastic bottles did not break
😆😆 We do that all the time in my line of work. We call it hydro excavating. Very useful when you don't know what's below you or if you need to get around sensitive areas, as illustrated.
For whatever it's worth Zach we call those hydrovacs. They're useful things, pricy but a whole lot cheaper than cutting a line belonging to another company.
I was just watching you on a podcast and the question got raised regarding your content. About making things interesting. As a farming enthusiast all of your content is interesting changing the oil in a tractor cleaning out beans and corn under the dryer literally all of your contact I find enjoyable, I know that doesn’t mean you want to film everything but from my perspective you literally could!
In the spring when the ground is sift and with all the stuff you drive around your yard maybe the gas ljne should be a little deeper in the ground I like the new dryer it's dam big it should run a lot of grain
Where that stand pipe comes up out of the conduit you're gonna wanna put a cover on that to prevent water, ice and dirt from building up in that tube. Trust me on this one and cap it before it snows.
Never use rv antifreeze to winterize your sprayer, planter, etc. It dries out the seals in the pumps and is very inconsistent as far as protection. Just save your used antifreeze out of your equipment for this purpose
Holy smokes! Copper 1 1/4" gas line? I didn't know you won the lottery. I put gas services in everyday and we use plastic for just about everything, steel for pressures over 100psi.
Hey, Zach! Quick question, how come the LP line was not CSST. Copper gas lines in central mo is obsolete. Just wondering if you knew. Copper works just fine but more prone to leaks and shatter down the road. Didn’t know if they told you why! Sincerely a curious farmer/hvac business owner!
I can't be the only one who will cuss out hose clamps and throws fit to my self trying to do things if it's not going smooth. But we always get'r done and then I'm happy
Hi I saw a tic Tom and wanted to see if you knew about the grain weevil. It would be used in the grain bins in stead of farmers having to go in them themselves.
As always great vids and content! I don’t expect a reply as I imagine you get 1000s of questions now your crazy famous, long time follower and fellow farmer from Canada, I gotta ask is the Crary air system a real game changer for beans? Like less loss? better cut?? I see you and Larson’s love them so just curious..
Your equipped seems to be fairly new. Your all John Deer are they a Sponsor for your channel? I don’t know how much ground you farm but my question is, how can you survive with grain prices the way it is and fuel, equipment and land prices. How can you survive?
UA-cam is a lot of how they survive. The channel sponsors, merchandise, guessing he probably gets paid for some of the events he goes to. Zach has said in the past they wouldn't be where they are without the UA-cam.
We were 80% John Deere before we started UA-cam. As of recently, yes, Deere is now a sponsor. Things would be different without UA-cam, especially this year.
Stewardship of the land is everything. And your family is doing good work. It will make a good contibution to preseving the land for future generations.
LP is higher pressure than natural gas so you can get away with smaller copper pipe which also simplifies connections. Basically it’s cheaper and easier
,, Also in this case the line going from the tank to the dryer is under full tank pressure, it has not been reduced by a regulator at the point of connection,, The dryer Burns liquid propane gas,, unlike most all other gas "appliances" that burn propane vapor.

If those gas guys start running, try to keep up!!!😂😂😂
Damn right! 🤣🤣🤣
Best of luck with the oncoming harvest from Ireland. Awful year for growth over here, but hoping you have bins bursting at the seams!
Zac, around here in Southern Illinois, the farmers buy the antifreeze by the 55 gallon drum. Add a hand pump and rig up a cheap garden hose and it easier and I think a little cheaper. Hope this helps.
Hope you have a safe and plentiful harvest!!
I really like the ways those 2 pups of yours smile when they ride around it always makes me smile with them Thanks

Im very behind but i will catch up on the videos. Love the content and your sense of humor

I been driving across Minnesota the past 2 months and I gotta say the weather is crazy dryer than anywhere I been! I hope the harvest will be good!
wow the Millenium using "passengers" so he can use the carpool lane to commute to work...
I love watching your dogs riding in the back of the Polaris!!! The expression on there face is priceless!!

Out here in California we call that a vacuum excavator or a suck “truck”. Never seen a trailer version before.
"you versus the guy she tells you not to worry about"......haha that was great!
Have a great harvest
I love how detailed your farming techniques are! It’s really helpful for beginners like me.
In Wyoming we call that a Hydrovac in oil field work.
I think pretty much everywhere, except in Minnesota, they're referred to as a hydrovac 😅
Excavating with water is called HydroExcavation. The process is use to avoid electric, gas and fiber optic lines. It causes minimal disruption in the soil. No backhoe needed.
In the uk we use air pressure to break up the ground then use a vacuum excavator to vacuum up the ground
Smart ideas start in England, then the spanks get hold of them and claim them as their own.
Hi i love your videos im from Slovakia please dont stop posting videos because we love you and we know what is hard work ,🇺🇸🇸🇰
I had a dozen 1 gallon bottles of RV antifreeze sitting in the unheated shop this winter and they were all froze solid when it got cold out. And it was well above the specs at the bottles had printed on them. That being said the plastic bottles did not break
You might try pulling on the feeder house belt to loosen up that PTO connection. Usually allows it to slide right off.
Little bit of advice. When headed pto’s start getting difficult to remove, just reverse the head a smidge before unhooking. Works every time
"I love how you blend academic content with entertainment, it's very easy to absorb!"
We called it a vacuum excavator. High pressure water makes mud. Mud is sucked up into tank. Leaves nice clean hole with no damage to wires and pipes!
aka as a suck vac
Thanks for the show guys 🍻
😆😆 We do that all the time in my line of work. We call it hydro excavating. Very useful when you don't know what's below you or if you need to get around sensitive areas, as illustrated.
When will we see the test run of the dryer? Cant wait to see that monster run
Very soon!
Hope the harvest is better than what you expect
For whatever it's worth Zach we call those hydrovacs. They're useful things, pricy but a whole lot cheaper than cutting a line belonging to another company.
Hey zack. Have you ever thought about adding a short air tube mounted so it can blow on your feeder house and help keep it clean?
Never heard of pumping LP. Learn something new every day.
Awesome video. Thank you very much
Probably already commented but the water shovel is a hydrovac. Love running those things
also think about some sort of semi shed for the tanks, so they don t freeze when it's really cold....
You vs the guys she tells you not to worry about. 😂😂. I spit my drink out.
Zach, you have such a quick and funny wit.
Out here in Southeast Manitoba we call that machine a Soft Dig unit. They also have them built into trucks here as well.
Or a Hydrovac. I work for the gas company here, we use them all the time.

You're doing a real nice job explaining things rather than purely commenting. I for one appreciate that.
Makes visual measure, looks good. Extends while in the field, pops off. Buy longer one to make slightly longer visual measurement.
Dig is a simple girl, she sees the side by side and she wants to go for a ride by ride.
Man the ride to work is crazy
That's what she said!! Before video even started, after only reading the video title
😂😂😂
And to consider that the video was about a bigger pipe, well, I think that’s spot-on!
Bruh... 😂
Now that, is the sign of a good man. Getting pizza for the guys working on the project. Well done.
I was back in MN yesterday around Currie/Westbrook. Some have started beans but a lot of fields look like a week or so away.
When they are using water and vacuum for digging it is called hydrovaccing
Who’s been feeding Onyx some MiracleGro? Sheesh
@nickjames73, Onyx is getting big isnt he?
Mom must be a good cook !!
Huel
In the spring when the ground is sift and with all the stuff you drive around your yard maybe the gas ljne should be a little deeper in the ground I like the new dryer it's dam big it should run a lot of grain
Will there be a safety meeting this year?
That dryer looks huge !
Phone when you were installing the boot was probably the Gub'ner calling hoping for a boost in the polls. 🤪
Where that stand pipe comes up out of the conduit you're gonna wanna put a cover on that to prevent water, ice and dirt from building up in that tube. Trust me on this one and cap it before it snows.
Hope y’all are having a good day!
Still going to say I would love to come help out with harvest!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWERFUL CREATING AND MAGICAL PERFECTION 🙏🙏....
Never use rv antifreeze to winterize your sprayer, planter, etc. It dries out the seals in the pumps and is very inconsistent as far as protection. Just save your used antifreeze out of your equipment for this purpose
Thanks
Loved the video guys much love and respect thanks for sharing
put something over where the pipes come out so water doesn't go down and freeze in winter when u get rain in wonter
That's and aussie for you! Talking all the time!!!
Vactor... Vactor trucks are equipped with large vacuum hoses and water jet hoses.
Good Morning,Ed from Vermont
Looking for harvest time.❤️🇨🇦
Those water shovel hydroexcavators are pretty fascinating.
Hydro excavating. Use it all the time.
In Australia we call that machine for exposing underground cables a “pot holer”.
My man always thinking of the viewer, saving content for next year!
Holy smokes! Copper 1 1/4" gas line? I didn't know you won the lottery. I put gas services in everyday and we use plastic for just about everything, steel for pressures over 100psi.
I didn't even know flares were possible on inch lol
Thanks
Great video. Looking forward to harvest.
Project farm did a review for tire pressure gauges. Figure its perfect for you with how you struggled to find a good brand a few years ago
Zach your "same s**t every day" short was hilarious 😂
Gutted you took it down.
Becky was running a test. You can find the original on my tiktok.
Greetings from central Montana
Zack Attack... Is A Real Boy!!
copper pipe without insulation or other protection straight in ground sounds future problems.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
The calm before the storm. Enjoy soon all hands on deck.
Have you decided to look at the 8500 corn water unit Zach
All good!
Hey @MellenialFarmer - Zack, I probably missed it...did you ever land on a reliable, long term accuracy air gauge?

Hey Becky, what is the name of the security system that you are using on the farm?
As always great vids and content! I don’t expect a reply as I imagine you get 1000s of questions now your crazy famous, long time follower and fellow farmer from Canada, I gotta ask is the Crary air system a real game changer for beans? Like less loss? better cut??
I see you and Larson’s love them so just curious..
oh I can't wait. The sensor drama is about to begin
Good video good to see y'all
Can RV antifreeze be bought in 55 gallon drums? As much as you use it would be convenient
Yes, it can they really don't use much.
We buy methanol from a local company in drums. It’s half the cost of rv antifreeze.
@@redbovine That is probably way too corrosive to bother with for what they do with it.
@redbovine we have hundreds of gallons of methanol for the race cars but it's extremely corrosive
Since it should not cost much why not lay a 1-1/2” line or 2” line for future expansion?

That Milwaukee pole saw is slicker than snot, ain't it? Buddy's got one that we've done faaar more with than it's intended for and it doesn't quit.
We call them Hydrovac systems. Simple, safe and effective way to find utilities without risking any damage.
Not always! A bigger bill is not better! Good afternoon!!
Welker Farms just spent time with the new Case AF 11 combine. You need to get Deere to let you play with their largest combine 😂
Stewardship of the land is everything. And your family is doing good work. It will make a good contibution to preseving the land for future generations.
I'm surprised that they didn't use yellow plastic pipe for the gas line
LP is higher pressure than natural gas so you can get away with smaller copper pipe which also simplifies connections. Basically it’s cheaper and easier
,, Also in this case the line going from the tank to the dryer is under full tank pressure, it has not been reduced by a regulator at the point of connection,, The dryer Burns liquid propane gas,, unlike most all other gas "appliances" that burn propane vapor.
Hydro Vac trailer. Works good.
What's your voltage on your three-phase lines? UK has 415 and it kills if tinkered with without proper safety planning.
We run 480v here (60hZ)....240 on each line. You can also have 240v 3 phase (120 each line). Just depends on what you ask the power company for
Rita ran in pipe not open ground
@@johnmauer2119 They make direct burial cables too.
Always wondered what they ran for 3 phase over there.....480,208...
Not sure on their particular setup but it’s either 208/120 or 480/277.
