- Controlling Soil Erosion and Cleaning up The Water because #FarmersCare Laying pipe! We are having 4 control basins built to help control the flow of water through these fields and prevent soil erosion. This is a "cost-share" job, meaning there are government dollars involved to help with the project, as it's extremely beneficial to the environment. We worked with the local SWCD/NRCS offices to design and plan the project correctly. Projects like this are a win for everyone. Onyx also learned how to change the oil in the 1975 Scottsdale C20.

This was recorded 11-17-21 Unfortunately I’m still sicker than a dog on day 12. Content could be slow for the next two weeks.
It sucks been there done that. Took abkut a good month and a half to feel normal. Smell came back after 2 months
Get well soon. Stay hydrated and take vitamins. Congratulations on the football team making it to state.
I was curious how you were doing, get well soon
Feel better soon!
Please take care.. prayers for good health.
Onyx, when your dad says "check the dipstick" its mandatory to point at him and say "there it is".
Its the Law !
A quick tip to avoid making a mess of your floor and sweatshirt. These older trucks with the oil filter mounted nice and vertical, you can take a center punch or old crusty Phillips screwdriver and punch it through the bottom and let it drain out prior to loosening it. Saves on floor dry and sweatshirts.🙂 An old timer showed me a long time ago and figured I'd pass it along if you didn't already know. Hope to see you back on your feet as well.👍
Smart ey?!
@@Blasterxp loud sound
sir loud
i am not pipe expert kent
perfect
Hope you’re feeling better Zach, glad to see a new video up
Hope you feel better buddy! I'm a transplant from Montana, just a few years younger than you, raised on the ranch and building houses. Left that life to work in finance and tech here in the Twin Cities. My wife is a doctor and professor here, says everyone has been getting sick lately not just from COVID. Rest up!
Thank you for the video - love those old trucks. My dad had a (sorry) Ford about the same year. Might been the same color even. My favorite truck was granddad's 1950 Chevy with opera corner windows. Plus the 'farm use - not for hire' sign on it. Hope the family and you are doing well.
Love the smile when you snort those glass packs. Brings back the good ol days . I had a 1987 Scottsdale with the the 4 speed with granny low. Bought it from a body shop guy who completely went they it outside and inside for his son but his spoilt boy wanted something newer. Had 33” tires. Loved that truck. A family member of mine totaled it dew to being a drunk fool. Took me awhile to get over that after working summers theu high school to pay for it. Got a lot of dates in that truck!!! Lol
Kudos to Zach for quickly correcting Onxy for misbehaving toward Anna!!
How awesome that you could get so much land done at once! It's usually difficult to get that many parcels done together!
Amazing! Happy Holidays Johnson Family. Thanks for all your entertaining and informative videos. Looking forward to more next year.
These are the projects I love to see. There's a lot that goes into being good stewards of the land, some times it's complex and disruptive and expensive but it's got to be done. Hopefully, the benefits are seen for generations.
God Bless you and the Family Zac and may he help you you to a a speedy and Full recovery
Make sure to keep the hinges on the hood lubed up because if they get stiff, you will easily bend the hood. Also when shutting it, slowly push down and do the side to side shimmy putting it down to avoid the possibility of it binding and bending.
Get better soon Zach. Hope the kids and Becky are still doing well. God Bless to the entire Johnson Family.
Praying for you buddy hope you start getting better I’ve been wondering how you was hopefully your almost through the worst of the Rona take care buddy god bless
Thanks for another great video.
Your pickup you got is a nice one. Good going thru oil change with onyx. Good lessons for him. Like your mats do the truck.
Thanks for showing us the tile work going on in your fields. Big pipe they are putting in the ground. Wow. Large tile project. Big teamwork going on getting it done.
About it for now. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Zach. Take care of yourself. Get well soon.
Great video segment. Sure beats laying 6" clay tile and covering them with a little gravel the way we used to do it back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Thanks!
In UK, we always cover perforated drainage pipes with about 1ft of gravel, this stops silt filling the drainage pipes.
When you get to 1 million subscribers, don’t just take Anna for a ride. I wanna see an ENTIRE video with her, and maybe some of Didge. Seriously, I’d love to see that!
Hope you guys get to feeling better soon. Always look forward to new content.
Zach, my dad was a SCS/NRCS Ag/Civil engineer for 35 years. Nice to see other NRCS projects other than what he did(mostly ag waste pits and flood control dams).
So sorry your sick big guy, look after yourself and hopefully you'll be better soon. Prayers for you and family 👪

If you punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and let it drain the mess is reduced considerably.
Up
That’s a good trick
You beat me to it😂
I typed how does a combine work into my UA-cam search and I've been watching now for 2 years. Love the channel!!! And I'm super jealous of the square body!!! Awesome truck!!!!
Really enjoy your videos. I, like a lot of guys, am super interested in tractors and farm equipment and enjoy working outside. Growing up I always enjoyed visiting family out in the mid-west on their farmland. Now, working in an office environment, I am limited to the once a week mowing and occasional maintenance of my couple of acres. This channel is a good getaway when the office job gets too mundane, just turn on the TV in the office and I feel almost like I am right there on the farm. Keep it up!
Interesting video about the drain tile Zach. It fascinates me on what that does for getting rid of excess water.
Love the videos and the old Chevy, my grandpa had that same truck. Keep up the good work. And have a good day
I had a '75 half ton with a 454! loved it! a real neck snapper!
Rino Liner work great. My wife bought them for me. I love them!
A little trick to keep from getting oily is to use a screwdriver or ice pick and poke a hole in the oil filter before removing it.
Miss my 79 Cheyenne.
Also, make sure you really lube up the hood hinges. They cause the hood to buckle after a while.
Thanks for another great video.
Sorry to hear you are still down. Do what the doctor says and take care of yourself. We miss your interaction.
Take care Zach. Get well soon.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Thanks for reminding me why I don’t change my own oil anymore. I hate dealing with that mess.
Made me laugh the oil running down your arm but then I really laughed when Onyx was going to torment the dog. Our Millinial Farmer is such a great dad, teaching his son important lessons about maintenance and cinematography 😉
You should do a build with that truck over the winter for some content! Keep it original but freshen that motor up! I dont think I would be the only person who would enjoy watching that series!!
I think people take it for granted that you share so much. I run a custom operation here in norway, and i would hate to bring a camera everywhere. Thank you.
I can't wait to see the transformation of the land
I put a plexiglass windshield on my xp1000. Replaced it with glass after 2 hunting seasons because of the scratches. Be extremely careful when washing the plexiglass also!
Wondered about the wisdom of 5w30 in a 70's engine, I'd have thought more 20w50 semi-synth. I presume that was Mystik's recommendation though. Get well soon Zach from sunny Scotland.
the 5W (Winter viscosity) much better for that location, and is not how thick an oil is is necessarily better even older engines if not wore out and since rated as a 30 is fine for that one, just depends on engine if worn, leaking etc otherwise good. I prefer not to run synthetic on original older engine seals but see many have no issues, again depends.
We always ran 10w40 in our 350 and 454 on the farm in ks as that was the recommendation from gm back then
Id bet that truck never see's the cold, salty, Minnesota roads. Summer cruisin only in a truck that nice
I know through the 1980’s and new GM didn’t recommend anything heavier than a 30 weight (5w-30 or 10w-30) due to not getting enough lubrication to the camshaft with say 10w-40.
In Minnieeeesootaa surly you just!
Wow are you feeling now ? Family all OK ? Great to see you back !
GOSH!! I do NOT miss that cold wind!! Get Well Soon!
If you slip a 1qt ziplock bag over the filter when you loosen it the oil drains into the bag before running down your sleeve. 😀
A dollar store plastic shopping bag for me too in the Cummins 5.9
Now that’s a good idea, one I have not heard before. Punching a hole is a good one two.
The pick up truck sounds wicked Zach, also doesn't it make you feel good driving with fresh oil & filter, almost as if it runs smooth and easier than before, you lucky git!
I hope you get over your illness and back to normal with time. All the best.
That truck is one sweet ride. We want more. Thumbs up !
Oh, and feel better my man !
Very spooky. Just as I'm thinking "so, where's Randy?", Zach goes, "and no, this is not Randy...."
Be careful closing the hood of the square body due to the springs being so stiff and since thats a crumple zone hood it could bend right in the middle easily
That tile crew is doing a fantastic job in all that cold wind. Wow!
I really appreciate O’s sense of humor! 😎
OH, looks like I have something to distract me from my desk job for the next 22m. BTW those GEAR Wrench ratchest are amazing.
Lol same here
Remember ladies and gents put your oil filter on hand tight only snug it up do not over tighten.
Who just love this guy ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Well you take care of yourself and I hope the rest of the family doesn't catch it too. Thank you for the update I was worried as I hadn't seen any updates
Thanks Zack for the showing always interesting to see how to control overland flooding especially in today world with Global warming ! ( from Canada )
😠
It Zach, not Zack
Hope your getting over the Covid
Great seeing the tile work. Hope you get better soon.
I worked with the NRCS and got money for my drip system on my almond orchard. Worth the effort.
Recovering from MF withdrawals. Thanks for the video. Hope you’re feeling better. 👍
I love how those tiling machines look like they were imported from Mother Russia. "In Soviet Russia, field tiles you."
Chili looked like a good choice. Thanks Y'all for everything...
Hey just and FYI. When changing any filter the best easiest and defenlty the cleanest is to use a center punch and make a hole at the bottom of her filter and let it drain out. You might have to loosen it after you make the hole to help drain.
It works amazing I do it on 99% of our farm equipment and trucks.
Good luck keep up the good work.
Ah the days... Our daughter, who earned her Master's in Public Health, Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota, at Minneapolis, lived in an apartment just across the Mississippi River from US Bank Stadium. All she had to do was to walk across the Old Stone Arch Bridge, which was about a quarter mile from her apartment, to the city center then on the to the stadium. We picked her up in late May 2020. Very tense time in the city but we did ok. (Interestingly enough, she earned that Master's Degree at the ripe old age of 22 years old.) While there in MN we went up to Duluth, and also toured the city, during the day, of course. Minneapolis is a very beautiful city. To a parent picking up a 22 year old daughter, during times of turmoil, those can be some very nerve wracking moments. To our daughter they were just events of her education. The University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Campus, is incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing the agricultural side.
Zach, get better!!!!!!
A few people mentioned it but use some spray grease or something on your hood hinges. The trucks like yours that have the cowl included in the hood are notorious for folding in half right at the hinges. Would be an absolute shame to see that beautiful orange hood fold over on you.
I have a 89 Chevy k1500 with a 350. Love that truck.
Nothing better than layin’ pipe. In our vineyards we have a tile every 9 feet. Grapes don’t like wet feet!
Just a couple of suggestions.. First filling the filter before installation is not a good idea and most OEM’s say not to pre fill filters. Mystic is good oil but I’m not sure it has enough zinc in it to protect the cam and lifters in that old of a engine, so you might consider a zinc supplement
Good suggestion on zinc supplement, some guys are using rotella because it still has some in it among others. Now for my question. What supporting facts show pre filling a filter does any damage? I'm just curious
@@davedunn2124 I'm curious about that, too. Any time the filter location allows, I have always pre-filled the filter. Hundreds of oil changes over a few decades with zero issues.
Any solid lifter engine needs more zinc than most modern oils provide. Rotella and a few others include it, but are a little thick for winter time temps in MN. Might just need that little can of zinc additive.
@@corey6393 when you fill a filter, you are filling the clean side that goes directly into the engine. ANY contaminates that are in that oil do not get filtered but go directly into the engine. Even new oil might contain some type of contamination even if it is just from the molding of the container it is put in.
@@jamesdean4272 I'll take my chances while not filling you are running the top end with residual oil until it pumps the filter full and gets it going. Which do you suppose is more likely to cause long term damage?
@@jamesdean4272 I'm with Dave Dunn on this one. Whatever impurities are in a fresh, sealed bottle of oil are likely to be much less damaging than running an engine with no lube at all.
It’s hard to beat the cave-man technology of stacking some rocks…. It gives more meaning and purpose to the rubble pile.
I think this is the first time ive seen the truck in good lighting.That's a really nice color!
Typical horrid 70s brown interior though 😂
I never stop being amazed how much tile is used in the USA.It's incredibly rare here in australia.Where erosion is an issue ,above ground solutions are used
Love that you pump the gas pedal when starting the Scottsdale.
How can they possibly tell their tile plow is deep enough if doesn’t have a set of nuts on the plow? 🤣
they just don't have the same quality as randy
Zach, all I had to do was mention this needed a windshield and polaris sent one.
Me... all I need is a polaris 1000 XP northstar ultimate 6 passenger...
Crossing my fingers this works and Isn't just like the finger snap trick that I still cant figure out!
We always flipped the air filter cover upside to hear the cool sound the four barrel makes when it opens up.
Thanks for showing them laying pipe!
I really enjoy the episodes that feature Onyx. He's a cool kid, and it's fun watching him grow up.
Not directly related to the content of the video but I love how wiki article for tile drainage under "ecological effects" has literally every "hur dur tile drainage bad hur dur" paragraph marked as "citation needed" :D
Of course "tile drainage reduces erosion and can improve water quality if done properly" has proper citation.
Thanks mate. Very interesting to hear n see what goes on over there. From Downunda.
That pipelayer looks like a beast!!
Hard to believe it needs help to lay that pipe.
Two things: watch your oil pressure with that 5w, that may be a bit thin for that old engine and take out the bearings. A ZDDP additive will make the cam last a lot longer, unless you know that there's a roller cam in it.
I fill my oil filter before installing it, I figure the risk from contamination if you're pouring clean oil into a clean filter is lower than the risk of running too long without oil pressure and taking out the bearings..........
My motorcycling buddies and I used to love synthetic oil. You could feel the bikes were just that little bit faster. It's concerning seeing Onyx teasing the dog. Maybe the leaf blower is not a big deal, but if he knows it upsets the dog, why on earth would he do it? It was a different situation with his trying to see how close he could get to the dogs legs on the wobble board thingie, because that could easily have gone wrong and hurt the dog. It looks like he has a cruel streak. Zach was doing the right thing pointing it out to him. I just hope he listens and develops some empathy.
Kids aren't fully formed, and they see the people and animals around them in the same way, even though it might be wrong. With a young lad as bulletproof as him, to see that he was getting close with a play-partner rather than running right into them is still a positive sign.
Zach did the right thing to caution him, as that's how we learned at that age too. A good dad goes a long way.
A firm guiding hand and another ten years, he'll be just like us, and he'll have the same innate theory-of-mind for others that we have. Kids do dumb stuff. You did dumb stuff, and I did dumb stuff. These days we're just a little bit smarter!
Glad to see you are doing much better prayers 🙏 work
Hey Zach I hope you feel better I know Covid is a pain but I will pray for you to get better🙏🙏🙏
Another awesome video! ❤️❤️ Am investing my time and money in crypto now, this new price is a clear sign for new investors to come in ✅✅...
Surprised you volunteered to get Covid when prevention is free ?
Hi Zack I just want to let you know that I love how much work you put in your videos I just love this channel I got your map in farm sim 19 I watch you all the time never missed a single video since 1-6 of a year from when I started getting so addicted to you and all I need to say about you is “THUNDER”
Good job Zack ur good at driving a ranger
Zach...
Give Anna a ride! Get well.. you are a great narrator for the farming community!
Thanks, Zach! I hope you'll let us know next year how the underground pipe benefitted y'all's farm. I had a '78 Chevy Silverado just about like yours with a 350 engine. It sure was close to the same color! They make 2-quart oil filters for that engine. I used a Fram PH373 on mine. It is listed to be good for 10,000 miles. I hope you get to feeling better real soon!!!
Good video! Hopefully you show us how it looks when it's finished. Looks like it's going to help a lot with erosion. Thanks for the video
Praying for a speedy recovery.
Echo #2. 🤣🤣🙄
Get well soon! Was 2 weeks for me last January. Never been sick longer than a week in my life. No loss of taste or smell tho. Several months to get back to full speed. I am 70 so that probably came into play. 2 weeks with no desire to drink beer!🤪
Zach those mats are awesome!!!!! Old school Sears Catalog style!!!!!!
When I was Onyx's age I use to live in the auto section of the catalog and dream about what I would put in my car one day!!!!!
Good times!!!!
Praying for your health to return!!
Glad to see you back.
Great video Zach!
Zach that pickup you bought is a real beauty very nice.
Awesome show Zakk.
Love the Scottsdale! Hope you feel better soon. Imma need about tree fitty.
Great video. Hope you feel better soon. Like the old pickup truck.
I missed you... my day is now complete!
If you hit 1 million subscribers I will run a mile for you for the 1 million subscribers you will for sure make 1 million subs because your work keeps getting better and better and better every second love you Zack
Dec 15th and crazy weather, stay safe Zach and family!
Years ago I worked for a guy that run tile. Back then the tile was 6 inch cement pipe each about a foot or so long. The cement tile was first placed along the tile route you would take. You then started the tiling process. You would pick each individual tile piece up and put it in a chute that delivered it to the bottom of the drainage trench. I would go through a bran new pair of leather gloves in no time because of the ebrasive texture of the cement. Anyway, like everything else it's alot easier now. I'm 64 and my grandfather actually dug tile in with a spade. It was a red clay tile. My mom said those guys that did that work had arms like tree trunks. We sure have it easy now compared to 100 years ago.
