Zach, Are you going to go to Bristol and watch the HTF guys? I see they've just installed a higher HP engine in the super late model. I'd like to see them make the feature again, and a top 5 would be cool!
@@MillennialFarmer Awesome!... I'll be rooting for all of you. Maybe give them one of your stickers for their car, it's gotta be good for at least a 1/10th.
I worked as a tractor salesman for 10 years. One of the biggest problems in the industry was lack of good / knowledgeable mechanics. Well done to Caleb and Zeth your knowledge is outstanding. It’s actually guys like you who keep the customers returning to the dealership to reinvest and help the sales guys hugely
I am very impressed with Caleb and his knowledge and skill in servicing this complex piece of machinery. A pleasure to see someone so knowledgeable in action.
Even more Caleb Knowledge and content over on Zeth's channel, i watched the 2 part a week ago. Really informative, and I reckon MF will watch it next year to remember all the things to service.
It's really cool watching those guys work and listening to their knowledge as they go. I imagine they've done enough of those machines that they've pretty much seen it all. I'd like to thank them for allowing themselves to be filmed because I love learning new things even if I'll never use that knowledge.
Those Sloan techs definitely know what they are doing. This was a very interesting video. I hope your pickup is easily fixed. My neighbors new Chevy pickup was hauled away yesterday because it’s totally dead and won’t even turn over.
I wouldn't be too surprised if tractors start to get the Chevy Treatment in the future, "user proofing" it by removing serviceability and making things "lifetime sealed" units "so the untrained don't mess it up" but really just makes even the littlest things a major hassel to deal with
I own an 80k sq ft body shop in MA , my Bernese Mountain dogs comes every day , I have 3 males lol ... I love the dogs , they just add to the show ... Now the Tobster and Ray are on Chets show ....Just love it :) :) :) :) :)
Anyone else notice Caleb doesn’t move his lips when he talks. His facial decoration covers it all. Neat trick. Zac is that the look you are going for and just haven’t got there yet?
I used to work on those large LP tanks. Those valves always seem to leak when it gets really cold!! We'd crank them open (or closed) all the way and use pliers to help seat the valve seat. Then come back during the summer and pump the tank out, burn off the vapor then replace the valve seals or replace the valve... Nothing like burning off a 30,000 gallon tank!!! Sounds like a jet taking off ;-)
Those guys impressed me with their knowledge and professional work ethic. A friend of mine reviewed these videos and has a much better understanding of his planter that his dealer didn't even know
I've replaced 3 of those draft tube hoses for the vacuums, in the field... got it down to a 20 minute swap. Just waiting for the last one to go now lol
I found that really interesting. Really cool looking at the internals of the corn planter. It's amazing how much the Deere techs know. Everything gets such a good look over. They pick up on the small things that you might otherwise miss.
Zach, there are after market kits that install a transmission dip on most of the GM and Ford 8 and 10 speed automatic transmissions. It's one of the top ten stupid ideas that has occurred in automotive design. Now GM needs to figure out how to make a beefy tie rod end for their pickup trucks.
@@bachtomin213 But how else would I know if someone has driven into the back of my car if the rear end didn't just suddenly explode into flame? That's a handy-dandy warning feature.
@@bachtomin213 One thing you have to remember with the Pinto and Vega is that when they first came to market, sold for less than $1700 for a base model. The Datsun's and Toyota's of the same era had the similar problems on rear-end collisions, but not that many cars were sold. As for the GM trucks with fuel tanks outside the frame rails, the Dateline show rigged the test to cause the fire. There are YT video's showing how they were rigged, and numerous articles on the settlement they paid to GM. Mount the tank on the inside of the frame, and you get the drive shaft hitting the tank when it loses a U-joint. Years before the tank placement on the frame on pickup trucks, gas tanks were mounted behind the seat. I've owned a few 1950's-60's trucks and they all had a smell of gas in hot weather.
@@agentcrm The majority of articles written about the omission of the transmission dip stick have nothing to do with environmental reason, but warranty repairs. There are articles indicating that people were installing the incorrect fluid type. Well if they were refilling a transmission that was low on fluid, unless there is a visible fluid leak, the transmission must be getting extremely hot to boil the fluid away. Even sealed for life transmissions have a venting system on them. Why do rear axles still have a fill plug?
It amazes me how with it these techs are when needed. Caleb knows his sheet. If I were a young man that apprentice program would be for me. Long gone in my life. It's hell to find something you would love to do but time has passed you by. What more could you ask for than to work with and around folks like Zach?
Great stuff you bringing in help to go through your seeding rig. Hope the planter doesn’t break your heart like last year. Great vids and you certainly shud be on a simply safe commercial🤣
Only Zack could make Snow Farming interesting. :P I found ZK MasterTech a few months ago and started watching their channel as well. I'm so glad you guys did some content together and I hope to see them back on the channel again some day. :D
FYI - Back in the ‘60’s, Weakly & Sloan, Havana, IL, ( Sloan’s predecessor) was one of the largest combine dealers in the Midwest. Big competition for other Deere dealers in Illinois. And, the brush belt is a big improvement over the chain drop units in the 495A planter in the ‘60’s.
You are the only one on the Internet that can make a commercial that's funny as hell and I'll keep watching it. I just pissed my pants laughing at the comment about your niece😂
Zach, the SimpliSafe voiceovers from the dogs never cease to make me bust a gut!!! Also, Zeth has an uncanny resemblance to Chris Elliott reincarnated as an offensive tackle. LOL!!!!! Great video, as always!
This was refreshing to see. Working on equipment can be relaxing IF you know what you're doing. Is your shop equipped with a bathroom? I notice you are good at feeding your guests, just curious if they hop on 1 leg or if "facilities" are also part of the deal 😉
Thanks for another great video. It was very interesting with you and ZK and Caleb. Zach, sorry you are not feeling well. Hope your throat gets better. Hang in there. Trust they got your gas leak fixed from your LP tank. What was it????? Your pickup. Not having the dipstick tube is a problem with Chevy pickups. Like your saying about dipstick engineers. Good one Zach. Trust they got it fixed. You are still blowing snow. Wow. You got a lot. We have more coming in Iowa tomorrow. My compliments to you Zach for having Zeth and Caleb come in. Zeth’s words about Sloan John Deere is interesting. Did not realize they were that big. Really interested they have a apprentice program for interested people. That is great. Really interesting with Zeth going over the tractor. He really gives them a great look over and items you do not always think to look at. ZK is extremely good at this and pays to have your equipment looked over before heavy spring work. Caleb is really sharp on the high speed planter. Need that good look over before using. Helps eliminate spring break downs. Pays in the long run to have Caleb come and make sure planter is ready for spring. ZK and Caleb ‘s channel is worth the time to watch on issues that affect your operation. Zach, some quick info about the race event you are going too??? National event I am guessing. Appreciate what you can give us. All for now. Sorry I got long winded but all is sure interesting. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
I have been running my John Deere 71 Flex planters for about 30 plus years, I wonder if I should service them....I did grease them a couple of times...old stuff just don't break...
Put a H bypass in the pickup’s tranny cooler lines. Plumbing fittings. Did that in Fairbanks AK. When it gets so cold, the trans fluid gels up a bit and can’t get through the cooler. The bypass will keep everything from puking overboard until it warms up.
Crazy I had the same issue on my 16’ 1 ton Duramax. 4 leaks in less than 30,000 miles, leaked the most when it sat outside during cold weather. Left oil everywhere it sat when it was -10 or colder.
Minor correction...those three wheels are road wheels. Idlers do not (generally) touch the ground and exist only to provide tension to the track. In case some old tank guy ever gets super confused or if service works on the wrong thing. On that tractor, the front (yellow) wheel is technically the idler, but it also serves double-duty as the belt tensioner since that's where the automatic tension piston attaches.
Wow wow Zac! Seems I remember Becky installing a-lot of the simple safe gizmos. She even said it’s so easy a husband could do it. Sorry! Not sorry for bringing that up!!! As always enjoyed your videos. It’s worth paying guys like that to come out and take a look. One of my favorite lines to say. “They know a thing or two cause they’ve seen a thing or two”
I had a 2010 Ford, same issue, no dipstick. Luckily my 2014 doesnt have that same issue. I hope they fixed it across the board, but will see with the next one...
That's unfortunate about your truck yeah there's always something on the farm that breaks never a good time but if it's going to break I guess better now then in the summer .
Serious question. What are your plans for help, how are you going to recruit help, once Jim and your dad are either unable or retire from the farming industry. I’m in construction and don’t have a clear path to recruit new help. Just wondering what your plan would look like. Thanks for all the videos.
If you're wanting to get a better gauge wheel arm, look into Coyote Machining's arms with bearings instead of bushings. We've run them one year now, very impressed. Plus, no greasing!!
Zach awesome video as always. Zeth is amazing he knows his stuff. I love his channel.Great information. Zach get feeling better. Definitely catchya at the next one. Stay safe!!
With the supply chain issues getting worse by the day you should order that part now that only has a year left and hope it makes it here from China by then!
For barely a second, I thought the dog with voice over for simply safe at start was a real ad and I was looking for the skip ads button... You got me this time Zack 😁But I will have my revenge!
I use a low pressure regulator to pressurize a gallon jug with a piece of clear tube and push the fluids into these no underhood service gearboxes. My new truck will be towed to get it's leak and low fluid fixed while in warranty. If they dont pay out warranty claims then they don't know they F'd up.
Really interesting watching those guys going through everything on the planter,you should be able to hit the ground running cone planting time,pity they didnt wash the tractor as well,bit of a mess dont you think! Ha ha
I llike how he talks about the company and how he keeps you lot going you should need to ask him what he he thinks about how john deer goes about its business and how little you the farmer cn do what is so easy just need a code and a laptop but that will also cost £2.000

@@Damnedfish. thank you!
Watching him working and talk blows my mind. I consider myself good at what I do and I feel this dude forgot more then I’ll ever know
Love his succinct eloquence; "oddly specific". Speaks volumes.
I aspire to have 10% of Caleb’s planter knowledge about anything. He’s really impressive.
Now that's the way to get the planter and tractor ready for spring planting, having two professionals checking over your equipment.
It's really cool watching those guys work and listening to their knowledge as they go. I imagine they've done enough of those machines that they've pretty much seen it all. I'd like to thank them for allowing themselves to be filmed because I love learning new things even if I'll never use that knowledge.
Those Sloan techs definitely know what they are doing. This was a very interesting video. I hope your pickup is easily fixed. My neighbors new Chevy pickup was hauled away yesterday because it’s totally dead and won’t even turn over.
They even used the right truck to move that Chevy!
I had the starter go out in my 2021 Silverado a few weeks ago
It is amazing to see the knowledge of Zeth and Caleb working on your machine. And as always thanks for the content. Hope your throat feels better.🙂
@ Millennial Farmer Also one more question what genre of music do you listen to and if so, who is the all time great singer/ songwriter.
I don't remember much about your niece and her story, but I remember you guys are amazing. Much love from Wisconsin
It’s great that the techs are trying to get young people interested in that end of ag. My hat is off to you.
I wouldn't be too surprised if tractors start to get the Chevy Treatment in the future, "user proofing" it by removing serviceability and making things "lifetime sealed" units "so the untrained don't mess it up" but really just makes even the littlest things a major hassel to deal with

You should tell Larson farms about that polly wheel for their 9rx as they are having to replace them
The weather there looks fantastic. Glad I'm in Australia.

It's part of "sealed for life" components. To 'reduce' the environmental impact.
It's not GM, it's most brands internationally too.

When your phone rang I started looking for my phone... so, yeah I'm gonna need you to change your ringtone.
Remember growing up there was a Sloan Oliver dealer in St. Lucas Iowa
I like the technical side of heavy equipment and farm equipment and the farming side ,
Couple of real good techs there, you can tell they know their machines. Take care of yourself Zach.

“I might go in the house and take like an overdose of NyQuil or somethin” felt that 🤣

You'll have to have them back in the fall to get the fertilizer system bugs worked out.
It' getting better I see you replaced the batteries in the kenworth hope your gas leak was repaired.
20:44 , That is the craziest sounding starter :)
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put out.

Glad to see you post a little more. Been missing your videos
Great awesome video zach , zeth and caleb, caleb knows his tech on those complicated planters
When your phone went off in the video, I thought I was getting a phone call. It happens every time I hear that ring tone.
Def fluid tank recall my truck is out till mid May 2020 Duramax ridiculous
who else is jealous of that glorious goatee? wish could grow half half that. darn genes.

You ever heard of the security system called 30-06 or 338 L mag. 8mm mag. 10Mm.
Haven't seen Jim in your videos of late, hope he is doing ok.
Caleb could be a ventriloquist. Listen to him talk during video and never seen his lips move once. Great video.
Ram pulling a Chevy! kind of like a Case pulling Deere?
I think the service guy working on the planter was at Larson's farm as well.
Do you get paid to think?
Did the truck & outside propane leak get fixed, or did I miss the fixes?
Found this video very interesting with Sloan Tech. Hope you get better and that sickness is a lagging symptom of the Covid.👍
Interesting stuff Linda like the tech aspect of farming
This stuff is really important to keep up on it.
For barely a second, I thought the dog with voice over for simply safe at start was a real ad and I was looking for the skip ads button... You got me this time Zack 😁But I will have my revenge!
Thanks for shipping Magnum! Probably good you didn't have him pull in the yard or your would have had to call me to get him towed.
Hats off to you
So educational, and So intriguing..
A Dodge pulling a Chevy.....Love it.
Need to clean the tractor like Larson farms. Makes for working on it better
Good one Zach enjoyed that . Really interesting.
You can by a hand pump for under ten bucks at most parts stores that will pump fluid int that transmission.
I use a low pressure regulator to pressurize a gallon jug with a piece of clear tube and push the fluids into these no underhood service gearboxes. My new truck will be towed to get it's leak and low fluid fixed while in warranty. If they dont pay out warranty claims then they don't know they F'd up.
