The smile on grandpa's face when he said toby was locked up 😂😂
I’ve been doing concrete for 54 years and you guys did a damn good job for not being concrete guys. It’s a lot tougher than what people think. I watch you all the time and I just realized your farm was started the same year as our concrete business. Great to see multiple generation keeping it going. We have our 5th generation doing it now. Keep doing what you do because our Country needs Farmers more than the politicians. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For sure and the time constraint kicks an occasional pourer in the ass. One of those jobs it is do it or else there will be harder work if you don't do it right.
These boys will work and pride their self in doing a good job.
Good to see grandpa showing you kids how to do it right 👍
Glad to see Grandpa keeping everyone in check! The funniest thing ever-
Grandpa locked Toby 🐕 in the 🐱 cat house to keep him out of trouble! 🤣🤣🤣
Toby says thank you grandpa! OH HAPPY DAY!!! HERE KITTY 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱‼️
And the professionalism in which you all lay that concrete is so impressive!😳
Moves I didn’t know Randy and Mr. Dougo could still do!
(great job as always!)
Toby needs to be on a T-shirt with the struggle bus and Mr. Dougo driving and you all hanging out!!! One of a kind treasure right there!!!
Who was the young man helping you all do the concrete? Do we know him? Hello 👋 young gentleman!!!
Miss you Ms. Dougo!!! Wishing everyone all the best all Larson’s Farm‼️
would like to see Randy in more videos. He has a great subtle sense of humour.
My father was the KING of any and all Concrete Work for sure, we had full Concrete driveway & he also did all foundations for every home he built.
Love how grampa was out too supervise the concrete and verify that he locked Toby in the cat shed!!!
Big Swede needs to show up with the Hartz 2 in 1 collar maybe.
Lol
Great seeing your Grandpa again. Took the cake when he said Toby got locked in the cat house.
Good see Grandpa out help you guys
Cement work is tough. Great when it's done. God bless you guys and the people that do cement work for a living. You sure earn your pay!
Nice to Merlin and Randy. Thats your Lil brother too isnt it?
the video was awesome again. Great to see Grandpa , Doug, Randy and Toby. Thank you Chet and the guys
Thanks Larson farms and associates for keeping us all fed ........
Both my boys are in the concrete industry. The oldest started with pouring and finishing and is now driving the trucks. He likes this job much better. The youngest is currently working in the pouring and finishing part. They are 21 and 18. Both hard workers.
Tough job
@Eric E ...they want a paycheck ...just not to work hard for it ... but their time my still be off a bit ... lets see bet there just fine ...
Nothing more rewarding than a good cement pour.
I used to work for my dad's construction business, and the only good thing I can say about doing concrete is it gets rid of a hangover real fast.
Always good to see the whole family working together.
We have a saying " you don't work concrete it works you " did it 42 years !!!
We did a 40' x 4' pit and built wooden steps down and it was the best thing we did. When working on stuff you can get in and out quick and not ducking under the truck. Also the extra width is awesome. Did recessed lights in it and drain all concrete. Built wood covers for when we throw parties..lol.
Chet. Thanks for the tip of the hat. As a concrete man it is hard work
Hey, We had fun today, had a twister pass less than 1/2 mile pass us and winds over 80 mph. And 9 inches of rain, 3 miles away they got 1/2 inch of rain. Oh, yeah, the weatherman said only 10% chance of rain today. As I'm running back 3/4 mile from the dumpster due to lighting and hail. It was one of those storms had lighting everywhere it hit something we saw the multiple flashes then explosion. Just an afternoon Rain Storm.
LMAO. I got a new 75" tv the other day and used a circular saw to get rid of the box... Great minds and all that hehehehe
19 years driving a cement mixer(redi mix) 2003-current in wisconsin plus a helper when needed.
TOBY IS SO CUTE
You'd better send Eric to veterinarian and have him checked for bugs worms or other things. Have him take Toby with him, don't want poor Toby to get any fleas or other bugs.
Great video once again. Was good seeing Grandpa and Randy and Toby all there.
Take care guys.
English much?
Must be an old veterinarian to be a veteran
Little trick for Dougo. Round the corners off on the bull float, won't leave the ridges between float passes.
Next time dont use the pipes. Run a chalk line across the side of the bin to height, take a string line from that line to the board and pound stakes to the height. Screed between them and pound them down as you go. Much easier than dealing with moving the pipe and filling it in. Also when its warm out have a guy bullfloating behind the guys screeding. Much easier to hit that first pass when she's still a little wet.
Also grab some expansion roll for next time. Youll want bigger expansion area for the frost movement her in MN; especially where it can get pinched between the bins.
I love watching your videos Chet. My crew and I pour concrete every day. Family business will be 50 years old next April. My father started and now my son is my best finisher. We work really hard to make it look easy. Lol.
My family where all farmers before going into construction. I still love to run the combine for a farmer friend of mine. We appreciate all you do. Keep it up.
Rent the stump grinder before you purchase one . I rented one for the week I used it 8 hrs and took it back. Hired a man with a 60 hp vermeer took him 1/3 the time and cost me less !
You don't want me peeking at your junk but you're peeking at the swede's bedbug bites. Good job on the seement. That's even a hard job for the pro's. When are you going to show us the new grain bin? Good video. Pax.
I haven't committed for some time, but still enjoy the videos. Keep them coming!!!
It's so good to see how much Brody has fit right in with everyone😁
He'll yes gradpaos out and looking well Chad good to see him on screen after so long
In the Pit, Maybe add a step at the other end of the pit so you can enter/exit from both ends👍
I think Grandpa's short responses to your guys's Shenanigans is hilarious.
Good to see Grandpa and Randy! Enjoy them both!
Man u guys are killing it lately. Loving the vids Larson farms keep em coming only gonna get better as soon as harvest season starts. My hats are off to u gentlemen. Thank a farmer. 🤟
Heads up. You need to jack the front axle up then grease the king pins. That way grease can get all the way around to prevent premature failure. That is what all my owner operator friends do to extend the the life of their king pins.
Give it up Brodie. Nobody can holler Dougo or anything else like Chet!
Hey Chet, you talked about a longer pit and the hood being a concern or issue. Have you thought about backing in and then the hood would be over the slab and rear axles at the steps?
Very, very,very.. nice job. Nice and clean. Corn. Farm!💯❄️❄️🍒
Shout out larson farms all farmers are amazing 👏 thank you 😊
For all that small scrap cut top off a couple of 44's chuck them in there nice and easy. Then onto a pallet job done for the small stuff. Unless you get a decent magnet to run through it i bet a few flat tyres coming. And love that tank stand looks sturdy 👌 lol
Farmyard Foreman Toby is the only Larson allowed to frolic in the cat house
Grandpa is waiting to see one of you young bucks slacking ! You gotta take is wisdom and life experience seriously. Concentrate work isn't easy or fun . Great video keep up the good work !
I'd love to see you do an interview or a series of interviews with your grandfather/grandparents. I'd love to hear the Larson Farm story from his point of view. How farming used to be compared to now and what he thinks about all the technology necessary to farm now.
I agree, I’d like to see a video of Grandpa, Doug’s, and Randy giving a history of Larson Farms.
Maybe in a “down time” (heat is that you say
Crap, hit the wrong keys, but maybe in one of your down times y’all can sit down and share the farm history.
I don't know what you guys think, but I'm thinking that Brody needs Merch!!! Haha! I am not a farmer (I'm a video producer), and I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to shoot, edit and produce those every week/month.
My Six Man Crew done 120 Yrds. Today started at 7:00 am done by Noon.
I was a hiredman for farmers 2 to be exact back in the days and when it was time to pour concrete it was fun and something different to do but it was the day after and the day after that killed you cuz you weren't used to the different muscles and bones you used daily .I have a friend who has poured concrete since he was 14 and he is in his upper 60's and in the last 50 years he still poured concrete after a day's worth of work and my hat goes out to concrete laborers for doing a tough job, but if you do it daily it keeps you in shape.
Chet it's all the attachments that gets you cuz they they save your back not your checkbook.
Wish I was closer, I’d get some of that scrap off ya for blacksmithing! Cheers, Mark
Nice job and to see grandpa out supervising!!
In the Florida Panhandle we call them red bugs! Some people call them Chiggers! They itch like crazy and get them in tall grassy and heavy wooded areas.
Chet, I think this is my favorite video since I been watching you for a couple months or so. BTW, in my younger days I poured a lot of concrete: parking lots, streets, sidewalks, machine pits for big milling machines, footings, and walls (even 30 foot walls -- in 10 foot sections). That was many years ago from '77 to '81. I was in the best shape of my life from that work. You have a good life there, Chet. Reminds me of my youth on our Iowa Farm in the 60's and early 70's.
Big Swede coming in like a boss. What a great crew.
You guys did a great job on that concrete. Cool video 👍❤️
Thank you.
I've done driveways, sidewalks, basement floors, and poured basement walls from 1982 to 1988. One floor I remember doing was for a freezer company. We started pouring cement around 3 pm. Me and two other men didn't get done finishing the floor until 4am. You guys have done an excellent job.
@larson farms - reverse onto the pit !!!!!!! save bonnet/hood length over stairs
Great job guys. Concrete is definitely a man maker or breaker. Great to see grandpa out there. Who was the young man helping you out there? Is he family or just helper?? Seemed to be a good worker. BTW. Those looked like chigger bites. Keep pumping out the awesome videos. Love you guys
It's his little brother i think
I watch you and the Welkers and Mitchel in Canada
Hey Chet, I am sure I am not the first, or only one to comment about the service pit, but if you turn the truck around, the pit would be plenty long. Love your channel.
There’s gotta be some reason they do it that way, every truck and vehicle is driven forwards on and I know they have enough sense to think to turn it around.
The rear axle is not over the pit, so by turning it around you would leave the front axle too far forward it seems.
Probably the oil drain won't reach the other side
@@kodez79 When the hood is down it's over the pit taking up that space. if they would back the truck in then the hood can be over the floor instead of the pit allowing space for the front axle.
use vinegar to wash your hands after concrete work makes them not dry out so bad. just give it a shot sometime
That's a new shirt. Can't tame the big sweed. With the bull ring as a logo
Did it for a few years as a curb finisher behind a paving machine. It is most definitely work
Fine job we need you out there on a 1000 yard pour!!!!
Try a 2x4 to screed next time. Hell of a lot easier
Good to see grandpa out and about taking part in the upgrades, get the old 1086 out this fall he can spend a few days in it 😆
Chet
That’s called a Expansion Joint!
A 35 foot pit is what we have but we have stairs at either end so if the cab is down in the front you just pull it for the forward and use the steps in the back.
Big Swede, you should get royalty for sales of the gloves you are using. Ordered 3 pair and am enjoying using them in my yard work. Figured if they were good enough for the Big Swede, they are good enough for me.
There's a hole in the middle. Lake Larson. Ice skating this winter!
👏👏👏too much fun 😎
Concrete is what I do for a living and it’s in my blood now so love that kinda stuff
Fun times men👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cement is a binding agent. It is one of the ingredients used in concrete.
Long time Happy subscriber 😊✔️! Always put in a like 👍. Post a comment for the algorithm ✔️.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for sharing your vids with us!
A good place to get the old school grease tips is yard sales people sell off their old stuff and I always see grease guns with the long lasting tips.
Chet you should start dairy farming you got the guys
So that’s how you change a grease tube! I never knew how 😉
DREAT JOB WELL DONE CREW.
you can put hose on them and bring them out each side of the truck that is what i do with my trucks
You all have done an Awesome job
Need to put up a liquid fertilizer containment now where those trees were. For your 10-34-0 and 28%.
Good Job. Who was the younger guy in video. Is that Randys son? Or your brother. Gpa looks good. Poor Toby. Lol
I'm sure bin floor is level, measure down from floor to screed line every ft or so, then snap lines. Or carpenter crayon.
He'll yesbest show on youtube larson family and staff . Love the hard work all-out put in holla dugo big up brodie and big swede and hope your OK Chad sir . Ps keep big swede out the cat lolol
You could always fab a verticle skid steer attachment rack and save space.
Construction work can be brutal at times. Shake hands with a Larson Farms employee or owner if you ever need proof of that, but prepare for the possibility of damaged fingers. Tough work produces tough people, and it’s easy to tell when a person has worked a lifetime of hard work by the force of their farm grip. But out of all the different types of occupations in construction, which ones stand out as the hardest contractor jobs? Concrete and farm work rank right there!
Hey, Google got a new language translator it's for understanding weathermen like today they sent us out a text saying you're going to have severe weather in your area the next 24 hours well Google translator the new one says it's going to be sunny and warm and great time to go to the beach LOL🤪
10 years as a heavy equipment mechanic, the grease gun is always empty when someone else uses it. Just a fact of life. Word from the wise, don’t share the grease gun
Around our yard we usually put 6 to 8 inches of concrete down depending on the expected traffic and 3 of us have laid up to 40 cubic meters in a day in April we put a new silage slab down it took 180 cubic meters and we put it down in 5 days, it was an 8 inch pore. It’s all about getting your prep work right, none of us are under 50 , actually we are all kicking the s*&# out of 60 and we were very proud of ourselves when we were finished on the Friday evening, based on your experience we were entitled to be! We will be putting down about another 100 meters in the next week or two to increase our cows feed space, over the course of the summer we put in an extra 100 cubicles for the same cows which took a good few loads of concrete but we got a couple of loads here and there over the summer, but then again us dairy farmers are a tougher breed than you tillage lads. N.b. For the slab I have to admit we hired a power screed for the job hence the haste to get the job finished as it was hired by the week and we didn’t want to slip into a second week, not that it was crazy expensive to hire, but the or part there of bit meant that we would have to pay for a second week even if we only needed it for a day. Regards from Ireland!
Great job on the concrete. Do you add drains in any areas to move the water/snow away? Lots of fun on the farm with the boys! Cheers!
Big Sweed found some Tiger mosquitoes AKA ankle biters Their from Asia .and were brought to the US in shipping containers but not on propose , They even bite during the day , We now have them in California .
Nice to see everyone. Great job
guys. Another great video Chet
Well done you all good hard work
My dad drove a concrete truck and did finish work for over 30 years. I have done my fair share. You guys did good and it is hard work.
Big Swede, “Is it setup? Yet? Doug’o, “No, it’s still soft, see.” Doug’o begins to jump up and down in the invisible concrete. 😂
If you leave the handle out on the end of the grease tube you’ll always know how much grease you have in your gun. Just unlock it and the handle will go in as the grease goes down.
I've been doing it for 20yrs. Shoot your grade with a laser and then strike off and throwing a touch of water will really help the bow float guy. Live the channel
