- We finally kicked off our harvest for 2020! The weather is awesome and we have a few acres ready to go. Dad also tweaked his new knee getting out of a tractor. Son of a gun.

You know the content is good when a middle aged IT guy from Toronto is excited about harvest season in Lowry, Minnesota. 🤯
I'm also a middle aged IT guy from the Northeast. I saw the video and I was like YAYYY HARVEST IS STARTING!! My favorite time of UA-cam year. I was actually thinking a leaving a similar comment and saw yours lol
Hey chemical handling/ water filtration guy from the pacific northwest. Love this channel!
Hello there
I am young IT guy from Germany.
Also excited about the harvest season over there, ours has been finished a month ago already :D
Apprentice lineman from the southeast here sending some of that harvest excitement aswell. It's amazing to me all the different places and walks of life that have gathered in this community.
Good to know I'm not the only IT guy getting into Ag!
I'm always amazed by the "neighbor effect". All it takes is one guy at the coffee shop to say "I think I'm going to run a test strip", and next thing you know, the whole county is full of running combines.
I feel for your dad, I've been in the same boat. You want to go like normal, but it's just not time yet. Hope he feels better soon.
Go Blues! 🎶
Paul S this happens all over the world, my boss said we will start harvest next week as the barley is not quite fit , he drives down the road see our neighbour going and phones me up and say get the combine out !😂😂
All farmers want the "bragging rights" of being the first to start and the first to finish, no matter what era you're talking about.
👍🏽❤️
I’m glad your dad is ok god
bless him
Hopefully dad's knee gets better.
God bless.
I hope to got his knee gets better
Nothing hurts as much as lynchpin bite on a frosty day ,still got the scars .
emotional scars mostly haha
@john mcgee Do you'r research before you correct some one Rshaped clips are called R clips google it .
Yeah I knew exactly. You don't forget that. And yet it still happens.
You can’t keep Dad out of combine. Take care of Dad.
Zach: "Now we're an hour later..."
Jim: "Don't say a word!" 😂
Jim is a treasure!
Thats what she said
Are you a writing a book?
2020 was horrible until I watched Millennial farmer (I have watched it before but
This made 2020 better)
I watch Millennial Farmer, Larson Farms, Welker Farms and Cole the Cornstar I started watching Welker Farm videos at first then started watching the rest because I'm not a farmer but was always curious on how the equipment worked and now I like the whole thing. I'm have a lot more respect for Farmers and even more for Farmers that started working the land long ago with the small equipment that they had back then when tractors haad no cab and no heat or A/C it makes you think of all the hell the old timers had to go through and many were just making enough just to get by every year.
“Cart again”
No, it’s a pullover, but thanks for noticing...
Tic tac, sir?!
@@MillennialFarmer pozdrawiam z polski !!!!
Dang ole wheelbarrow in the sieves, they'll get ya every time
Can’t find the toaster? Check the combine
Hope your dad's feeling ok zak, stay safe everyone at harvest.
Zack isn’t the only one that’s excited about starting the harvest!
Same im just waiting for our cotten to be ready and we'll be ready
hahah!!!! and by excited, you mean...
Corny Peters ok ikoo kink B jo bio i
Hey our kid's here loves it. The oldest 2 drives the tractor and trailer.
561 bu/ac isn’t too bad we’re pushing 620 here in mississippi😂
Rookie numbers! We are at 800 bu/ac😅
I’m Mississippi too we’re only 615 bu/ac
Rookies where at 2100
Those are end-row numbers.
Rookie numbers here in Missouri we get 9990 bus/ac😂😂😂😅
He should get a tesla...it be hilarious to see his luck with batteries
That sucks about your dad's knee. Hopefully the pop wasn't anything too serious.
Jim is a treasure "don't say a word"
Please try and keep the boss focused on the gains that the next two weeks will make with his knee and not push too hard now!
You haven’t felt real pain until your finger has been crushed by one of those linchpins.
It’s sucks so bad
Or hitting you fingernail in a door
Uh...huh...Well, on more than one occasion, I've gotten a morphine injection when being admitted to a hospital and then ended up with an IV Demerol drip....any of that happen with the lynch pin?
I've ended up with black and blue and/or bloody fingers from linch pins, but they are still so useful. 🙂
@@buckhorncortez r/iamverybadass
Oh the working words Jim must have said working on that tarp!!!🤬buckets🤬buckets 🤬BUCKETS
😎👍 〽️
Probably rhymed with smuck it..... or fother mucker
Hey man best content love the tractors we just started corn harvest 2020 in Ohio!
Same here coshocton county
Zach is so excited he is lost for words! Tell your Dad to take his time with that new knee. I know it’s hard when it’s go time, but man if you let it heal right? It’s like your 20 years old again. It’s worth it!
There's something on your farm draining all batteries..
👾
Alien force field?
Millennial Farmer I’d interrogate the dogs. They have a suspicious amount of energy.
BALES hahah best comment buy far!😂
It's Jim. He's just hanging out in them, listening to the radio and charging his gameboy.
U should hv kept the rpms of reel a little less if the crop was that dry nd it was visible that the crop was standing so reel at a height above normal was also viable . I dnt know bout frame speed of ur camera but if it synchronize with the real speed of reel then it was more than it was required.
Wow Zach, setting up and running the combine looked incredibly complex to someone who's never done it. I'm sure you have memory of the previous year that makes it easier. Also knowing how to adjust to the size and moisture of the bean to maximize yield. I'd have to go to "Combine School" to learn all that stuff!
Honestly kinda happy harvest isn't going to be a swamp. But that means Jim has less of a chance of getting a tractor stuck.
The best part of my week is when MMF uploads. I love the longer videos
Same
Our favorite too, Millennial Motherfluffer.
There never long enough for me
@@carlwood1432 That's what she
@@7rixee brilliant
Good god help you if you ever get “Tesla” tractors on your farm with your luck with batteries! 😆
If they ever go all electric, they'll wait till they can get green machines I wager. Think I ran across information on an experimental all electric tractor Deere is working on.
@@Krahazik ua-cam.com/video/gMaQq_vRaa8/v-deo.html
Please tell your dad to use two crutches. My grandpa had a knee surgery and he used only one crutch. Because of that he is limping
Man when you first set down in that first field I was freaking giddy as I watched that header start cutting! My heart was pounding lol. It's so satisfying to see after all the work it all leads up to that. Awesome Man!
Zack, would using one of those vibrators with a long rod that they use to settle rock in concrete help get that corn to flow?
Just thinkin...
That's actually a thought. Maybe? It's worth a try next time
@@MillennialFarmer There is something like that for train grain haulers
Cars! We used to use them years ago.
@@MillennialFarmer we installed Sump savers and they are awesome. Anytime the grain stops flowing we turn the sump saver on and it always starts flowing again.
Did you ever speak about the soil type specs, nutrients, micros, tough and easy weeds etc? Wish all the best for your dads recovery. My dad should go for an operation. I know the pain of seeing a loved one, that was our superman, held back by pain and injury..
Having had a knee replaced, I can tell you for sure not to twist it. There is a tab that keeps it aligned and you don,t want to break it. Tell your dad to always step down on the other knee first.
They are rough getting over the surgery but well worth it after you survive those first months.
I could see the pain in your Dad's face stood bent over in front of that tractor and what did you do ....... nothing! Lol Bad Boy!
Hope Nate is recovering and hasn't done any permanent damage tweeking that knee.
Fingers crossed for a great harvest!
Now jim this season don’t get stuck this season.
Hope your dad is OK, my wife has had both knees replaced and you need to be careful for about a year with how you get around.
Was going to comment the same. My bride had a knee done and it was a full year until she was back to "normal". I had a hip replaced and was back to full function @ about 3 months.
When ur so early u cant steal any comments for fame
Gijs Vermunt Agrifotografie lol
Here comes the X9...............
When I worked at RDO in kindred I specialized in working on combines... After doing all the repairs to a machine I hated going out and turning the separator on for the first time.... luckily never did leave a tool in one or have the concaves adjusted wrong lol
There's a spaceship under your land sucking up all the battery power lol
Get Becky in the combine, After an hour I bet she would say, I thought he would never leave. Give you're Dad more time.
“ they grow up so quickly “. Lolllll
That is why we buy red tractors and harvesters
Green always break
that is not true. big green equipment is not frickin overpriced like case
Seeing your dad with a cain makes me sad :(, hope he gets better soon!!!!
I feel that we have a 6400 John deere front loader and no matter what we do we have to charge the battery for it to start
If your Tractor would have been RED it would have Started as soon as You Turned on the Key It's Okay One Day You will Get it Good Luck on this Year's Harvest and No One gets HURT on the Farm Take Care
I’ve bean waiting for some harvest action
😂bean
first name last name I’m glad some people caught it lol
This harvest season find some Mike Rowe jobs and invite him over, could be fun.
Honestly I don’t have a clue about farming but I have always been fascinated by big machines so it all works for me
That trickle charger on that grain buggy for the tarp .... drains 😜
Jealous , over 100 years my family has done what your doing ... Everything gone ... What your living is Awesome ... Hearing the sounds & watching you brings back great memories !!! I did do some wheat stalks , grass hay in Roseau , Green Bush , Warroad & Crookston ... About to start cotton here in Hale County , West Texas ... You are blessed ...
The Omaha, NE area was 10” under normal most of the year. We shoot for 60, beans are 45-50 so we’re seeing the same stuff.
Hope your dad feel better. Good to see him back.
The neighbors burned up one of their combines in soybeans last night, not sure what modle, pretty sure it is/was a S series JD
Thanks for feeding me
The parade of the big Green is starting! Always enjoy harvest Zack. Hope your dad is doing ok. Take care of him as I'm sure you will. Thanks for sharing.
Very good video man!! I start summer session in next days.... Canola and Barley!! Hug from Uruguay
Last year to wet this year to dry why can’t it be perfect
We're farmers, it's rarely perfect!! 🤣
Maybe an earth strap from the frame of the shed into the ground will help with the battery issues. Something's off with the magnetic field.love the longer vlogs .awesome.
I would recommend putting battery disconnection switches on those R series tractors. We did that on ours and haven’t had a dead battery since.
We have it on a couple machines and it hasn't helped a bit 🤣
Could do it yourself. On a car you pull the negative cable and put a test light in there to see if there is a draw. If there is, start pulling fuses until you find what is causing it. Dunno if tractors have a similar fuse box though.
Hope your dad’s knee is feeling better
Hmm, new combine sitting at Midwest, “big news coming in the next week” hmmm
they run one combine im pretty sure they cant justify buying a million dollar combine
Tyler Anderson Zach’s mentioned he’s been on the market for a 6 or 7 series but I was implying more along the lines of Midwest having him demo a new combine like last year
Pretty sure they’re going to demo that X9 on corn.
@@StephenPaul1160 I sure hope so
Hope so
Put Onyx on graicart and let grandpa rest and heal his knee properly...
he,s too busy on his bmx give young Andrew hourigan a call - he,ll drive combine too if it needs a driver
@@robertlonsdale3826 BMX?
@@MillennialFarmer i see onyx is getting training
Keep up the good content
Wishing your Dad well. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Harvest already? jeez felt like a month since you got to mess with the 8RX.
Maybe it is just me, but why would you wait until the day you want to start combining to grease and adjust it? Shame on you Zak.
I hope your dad's knee heals quickly. Tell him to take it easy and break that new knee in properly 😁
🦜au - Guy in city i bought a Lamborghini $1/2 ml 🚜 Farmer Fptt i drive john deere tractors & Mars Rover harvester 😅
from a small tractor i drove on a farm in 70s to one these New type wud take me ages to learn to drive so many Buttons😲
just to sit in one wud make my day
Get those beans to market, futures prices have been trending lower.
With all the electronics and vast amount of wiring on newer equipment, you’ve got to have a battery disconnect that you turn off after every use or a battery tender that you plug in after every use.
4:38 size doesn't matter hurts anyway.
boer brabant what
Yeah i just re-blew my knee, jumped off silage pile n lower leg was out to side at a 90, tell yer pops i actually feel his pain, i knew the look on his face.
Got our first field of beans in Leaf Valley done Thursday. Have a safe and successful harvest. 👍
Harvest 2020!!!!!! good luck what an great time of year to be a farmer Its Go Time!!!
You’re testing your faith when you start playing games with a “Jesus pin” as my dad calls them lol.
The Boss just can't be put on sidelines when harvest time
Zack, did you get those cut outs covered on the drag or augers near bins & dryer??? Everything is getting hectic and my husband doesn't want to hear about a dog, child, lame Dad or healthy anyone falling into it. Please.
IT WAS YOUR. FARM, RIGHT??
(Watch to many channels)
We have a couple left to put on...
My husband says THANKS. Earlier between his own close calls and local/state/national ag stories
I got the drift. I told him to STOP!
Muito show de bola parabéns
Where’s the x9????
Never had one!
At select dealerships I imagine. :)
Millennial Farmer
There was a tik tok is them delivering it
Get well soon Nate! Good luck with harvest!
Oh and zach, since your dad has a cane now. Don’t get him mad, because those canes hurt. Just FYI haha
Oh no hopefully dad feels better and your season gets better yields
Both have been happening in the couple of days since this video, thank you!
When the BIG BOSS says jump you.............................JUMP
Hope his Knee is ok get well soon Grandad Millenial. Love from the UK
tractors should come with built in battery chargers life would be so much easier
Ben Shafer that won’t help when they’re in the “shed.”
@@scuba535 true @Ben Shafer
Or just keep it plugged in when in the shed.
They do make aftermarket, plug-in battery maintainers. How handy they are for different types of equipment I couldn't say.
Or one that runs on organic material would be awesome!
Tell ur dad better he tweeked his new knee instead of his wee knee😂😂😂 I shoulda been a comedian lol!! Joking aside hope ur dad gets better and thanks for giving us great vids man 👍👊
Hardy har har
I gave it a like just for “danger is my middle name”
Zach, I hope your dad is ok. Hate seeing that. Stay safe harvesting.
"Those who get it, will get it..."
I didn't get it.
🤣🤣
@@MillennialFarmer You were living dangerously. I got popped by one a couple of days ago.
Thank you for sharing your farm life with us.
Good wishes to your Dad. Get him rested!
4:37 ah yes, Spain without the S
praying that u have a safe harvest , love the vids
Snapping lynch pins are nearly as bad as a reluctant "R" clip when it finally decides to let you skin your knuckles on the nearest sharp bit of metal.. Yep Dad needs to be careful, don't run before you can climb down tractor steps......... good he got knee done during Coved. The UK has very long waiting lists for Knee and hip Ops.
But that free health care is so great huh lmao
Hope your dad gets better as soon as possible. He’s a good ol man👍🏻
If anybody ever asks you why people watch your channel here is mine and probably a lot of others.
Your channel is very informative and peaceful and easy watching compared to all the other crap that floods my feeds and flies across my TV screen constantly. Watching you sort of inspires me to be productive in my own way. -- but then there are some days when I’m just the old guy sitting on the bench, watchching andcritiquing other peoples work- which is sort of fun itself
I just got done watching the playground slap fight/presidential debates and I needed something inspiring before I can go to sleep
Awesome, this is by far the best farming channel on YT, your commentary makes this the best channel zach, explanation of everything is sweet, hopefully your dad gets better, good to see him in the videos, an sadly there probably won't be no
(HOLY BUCKETS) THIS HARVEST 🚜💪👌🇺🇲💯
Zach 9k more subs then it’s 600k 🥳🥳
i hate when the beans are ready to go before the next gen demo combine is
🤣🤣🤣
That X9 is completely 100% ready to go! Just don’t video it, or talk about it, or compare it to any other combine on planet earth... oh and don’t harvest with it either; but it is ready to go!
Gregg Mccleary isn’t that what John Deere is made for?
Well already had then 8RX shown off so why not a new combine to mess with for a season.
Zach I was going zip tie those wires up at later time a year later still not done 😆🤣
Can we please get jim to have his own camera with him. Call it "jim cam"
Yeaaaaah JIM-CAM
I’ve seen a Lynch pin once take a guys finger clean off. For those that “got it.” Dangerrrrrrrr.
Fun watching you “dial” it in.
