Zack, I used to build those bins. The side gates we tore them apart and welded the set ring onto the steel rod inside the gate. That way you don’t have to tear open the floor! Best to do when empty, “trust me” ha.
i’m catching up on your videos. This was three years ago. I absolutely love. Are you take your children along? They learn and I really do think they appreciate.
Zack I have to tell you Man your two kids they put a big smile on my face and my heart oh my goodness such a precious little ones you are a blessed man Zack
Speaking of two machines: You could keep the 9870 through harvest, at least through soybean harvest, and sell it after. We have a custom operator close to me. They operate 4 Forage harvesters. Every April, they buy a new one, and run 5 through the season. Then in November, they sell the oldest and repeat. So they only pay off on 4 in the off season, and never have any that are too old. 👍
I would guess as the new boss took over they were running the 4-5 machines and then he just started to exchange the oldest/broken one and buy an replacement. Maybe the guy knows how to write it off so the irs is happy
That dickey John moisture tester throws a code if you get a piece of kernel stuck inside. Give it a tap or two and the grain will dislodge. I had mine do that a few times, it happens!
Zach is so dry. That was a perfect Forrest Gump at the end. It's kind of nice of Zach to giving us something to smile about while they are bringing in such a poor harvest. I know all our fingers are crossed for a bumper harvest next year to average things out. 🤞🏻
I love all of you, ur farm, ur kids, ur wife and u dude! I've got my fingers crossed that you at least do good enough this year with your yield 😊 take care all of you x
Hi Zac you could use the vhf radios you all ready have put a repeater on your grain leg get the radios set up to the repeater and put the transmit frequency of the repeater in as a talk around channel when you are out of range of the repeater or it goes down.We are grain farmers over here in Australia we have two repeaters one is on a 100ft tower and covers 50 to 60km other one is on a hill and gets more than 100km our repeaters are in the uhf band 470 MHz the reason for this is over here we have uhf cb radios as well they used to have 40ch and now have moved to 80 ch all farms use this service over here but is to congested at busy times like harvest,planting cotton pick as well as the trucking industry and general users. Our radios have the uhf cb channels fitted and our licensed repeaters frequency we still use HF radios here as well they cover the whole of Australia our cell phone network is the most useless setup I have ever used or seen yet Constance drop outs out of service or not working at all we are lucky to have as well a HF radio network called VKS737 it has frequency’s to cover more than 3000km the whole country is possible monitored 24 hours a day in conjunction with the royal flying doctor service I have heard all kind of emergency medical break downs and other problems in the the outback with help could be days away.Our repeaters and Hf radios play a big part in our farming operation over here would be without it
Thanks for the great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Great to start seeing harvest videos again. Been a while. Lots of items to check on your bin setup. Looks like you got it all going. Nice bun and dryer setup. The dogs are busy with the mice coming out of conveyors. Keeps em busy. Interesting that you have beans and corn going at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to let the kids ride for a while. Good education for them. Will be anxious to see the honey bee header run in the field compared to the JD header. Appreciate you doing that. Glad you climbed up to the top of bin system. Heights are not my favorite thing. But you do what you got to do. Amen to that. About it for now. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
I know I there are stresses in you life we don’t see, the last few minutes of this video will make stresses go away! Your kids are cool, I love your work!
Have you thought of wearing a safety harness when you are way up high? Your kids are going to remember riding with dad for the rest of their lives. You are blessed to have a job that you can share with them.
Get some PTFE valve packing material, comes in a roll, just cut to fit and slip it into the ring ends. Less mess and lasts a long time. You are right though the ring let the pipe ends spread, only way corn is getting into the ring.
nice video. finally harvest. was a nice surprise on my birthday. to see a harvest video. nice to see that your children like to go with you in the evening
For the ones that don't know what Zack is talking about he has a CF dryer which means continuous flow that's why he said he had to check the corn sample coming out the back of the dryer
Watching your show, nearly on a daily basis all the 6.633km long way from Denmark. Great videos! It's nice to follow you, your family and the daily work on the farm 1o1 in some wide showing videos
When you were up there examining that leaky grain hoist pipe, i muttered "Fix it with duct tape". But I didn't expect you to actually pull out a roll of duct tape! That got a laugh. You must be a Red-Green fan too.
Hey Zac, I'm from otter lake michigan. I've been watching your videos for years. I raise hay and cattle on my farm. In your slow season and travels we'd welcome a visit from you. Keep up all the good work. Your videos are the highlight of our day.
Down here in Mississippi and Arkansas we irrigate corn and beans with polypipe which means we plant on raised beds and the irrigation water flows down the middles. When we cut beans we always cut diagonally across the rows. It feeds better and since we have fire ants the beans feeding in at an angle helps the keep the fire ant mounds raked off of the header.
For those locking collars, bring a drill bit the same size as the tap for the screw and add a small divot for the collar lock screw to get into. That way it’s not relying on clamping force so much.
Good luck!! Hope your machines work well this year. At least you got two combines running and NEITHER of them is going to need repairs (fingers crossed)
His dogs are so free! Those have to be some of the happiest dogs I've ever seen. I mean they just get to run around that whole property for miles! Pretty good life for a dog. I wonder where they sleep LOL
Zach, I think what you were looking for was “A little less conversation, a little more action please” from an Elvis Presley song called A Little Les Conversation released in 1970
The leak in the conveyor is because the bolts holding the seal came out... I could see 3 missing bolts. You can see a bolt that came out sitting on the side opposite of Zach. =) 02:38
"Gee, I hope I didn't knock over any of that corn" Now that was rich. It's nice you can joke about it a little. I mean the alternative is to just sit down and cry. (I've been there before). Hope your yield is better than expected. Take care.
Zach I checked out the peterson family channel “crop dusters “ now I have a problem?🥸no I still like your channel better 🤪🥳mr. Nate and your mother should be very proud of you 👏🥰I am just a disabled man trying to do the best I can after a tractor 🚜 trailer hit a 🚗 carrying my wife, 10 day old baby girl and myself 😂I am very glad to enjoy 😉 your view of raising a wonderful family from what I see and mrs Becky is a dream life and you guys are living very beautifully 😇hey brother you have you own Saturday night live show and you get better ratings 😎😎😎
With all that equipment, have you ever been using some after not using it awhile and forget how to use it, or program or not put some settings correctly? I'm amazed at all of the technology involved with the tractors and the mechanics on the silos.
Just ran first soybeans tonight here in southeast IA with my new to me wrinkley case IH 8010 with John Deere 635 hydra flex. Worked great …..Headsight conversion kit worked perfectly.
I have a similar grain system across the road from us. Why do I watch it on here?! LoL 😂😆 Hope harvest goes well for you! I can tell you love your family!
Love your vids. My grandma grew up on a farm in the Brandon area.....11 sisters. All but two married farmers in the area. Also spent alot of time at Viking speedway over the years. Most likely seen you race there back in your early days. Drove up to duck hunt last Friday (9-24) think I seen you vuys taking out beans north of your farm along Hwy 55, I was the goofball waving from a black Silerado
15:09 Mike Mitchell had thousands of acres like this. At some parts they didn't even try to harvest cause it's just waste of time and fuel. Crazy year is behind us.
In the ring you have the leak at, it looks like you are missing some bolts in the flange that sits under the collar. You mention that it pulled apart im guessing them bolts would bring that back together tight.
Zack, I used to build those bins. The side gates we tore them apart and welded the set ring onto the steel rod inside the gate. That way you don’t have to tear open the floor! Best to do when empty, “trust me” ha.
Your children’s smiles make everyone smile!
I appreciate your "humor" and being lighthearted with the tough growing season this last year.
“I hope I don’t knock over any of this corn” that absolutely sent me 😂😂
U
Love that you went and got the kids for a ride before bed.
i’m catching up on your videos. This was three years ago. I absolutely love. Are you take your children along? They learn and I really do think they appreciate.
That really is an impressive amount of screws! Good job, Zach, Good job.
Zack I have to tell you Man your two kids they put a big smile on my face and my heart oh my goodness such a precious little ones you are a blessed man Zack
It is so Cool you bond with your Kids. Glad you are teaching them the life of Farming. God Bless you and Family.
Enjoyed that video .......................................getting exciting, feels like Christmas with the harvesting.
LOL @ “Used an impressive amount of screws and ran out of patience”. We’ve all been there.
Speaking of two machines: You could keep the 9870 through harvest, at least through soybean harvest, and sell it after.
We have a custom operator close to me. They operate 4 Forage harvesters. Every April, they buy a new one, and run 5 through the season. Then in November, they sell the oldest and repeat. So they only pay off on 4 in the off season, and never have any that are too old. 👍
That's a nice little "Battle-rhythm" they got going on...Capital intense the first 5 years or so until you get everything in Sync.
I would guess as the new boss took over they were running the 4-5 machines and then he just started to exchange the oldest/broken one and buy an replacement.
Maybe the guy knows how to write it off so the irs is happy
@@mwnciboo The place have been going for over 50 years, this is just their latest adjustment ;)
At 8:31 You'll see the control box Zach is working on is from Convey-Air System by Farm Fans, Inc. from my hometown Indianapolis, Indiana.
That dickey John moisture tester throws a code if you get a piece of kernel stuck inside. Give it a tap or two and the grain will dislodge. I had mine do that a few times, it happens!
“Gee I hope I didn’t knock over any of that corn”! 😂😂
Love your Dad’s truck! She’s a beaut.

Your "Fan Club" is still here.😊
I love all of you, ur farm, ur kids, ur wife and u dude! I've got my fingers crossed that you at least do good enough this year with your yield 😊 take care all of you x
Going to be an awesome sight the day your son and daughters are running the combines and you can sit on your porch and watch.

I think it is so great that you took the time to pick up the girls for a combine ride and then took them back to the house. What memories are made of.
You are blessed with a great family. Nice video.
I farm in southwest Iowa beans yields are running 70-75 bushel an ace got the rains at the right time here best beans ever I have seen
Me and my church has praying for you and your family and the farm and Jim we pray for a good harvest God bless you all
What a rich feeling that must be, harvesting with your children at armlength. Golden moments.
There is nothing better than having my girls in the tractor with me, always makes me smile even when I’m in a bad mood.
Love the harvest updates! Keep them coming! Good luck!
Loved the kids on the combine; thanks for showing that to us. Nothing quite like family to bring a little joy. Improved my day for sure!
"Adhesive weld whip" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great Humor at 100 feet in the air 😉
Awesome harvest video. You are a funny man Mr. Johnson. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.

Good dad taking the kids for rides in the combine!!!!!!!
Glad to see your dad is well.
I know I there are stresses in you life we don’t see, the last few minutes of this video will make stresses go away! Your kids are cool, I love your work!
Your kids are precious. Love 'em!
Wow just an incredible video it's cool to see you spending time with your kids and working on the farm I'm glad to see your dad is doing well
Can’t quit watching. Would love to spend the season working with you all. Love what you do.
Zach saying "what's the worst that could happen?" is like the new guy in the unit saying that it's "really quiet". Just asking for trouble.
Have you thought of wearing a safety harness when you are way up high?
Your kids are going to remember riding with dad for the rest of their lives. You are blessed to have a job that you can share with them.

Fun times with the kids! Love the crack about your self driving equipment, too funny.
Thanks!

Its not the falling that hurts Zack,its the blooming landing that does!!
funny how falling feels like flying just for a little while
2 days in a row, that's how you know shits getting real
Hey Zac, I'm from otter lake michigan. I've been watching your videos for years. I raise hay and cattle on my farm. In your slow season and travels we'd welcome a visit from you. Keep up all the good work. Your videos are the highlight of our day.
Remember...it's not the fall that kills you. It's that sudden stop when you reach the bottom!
Down here in Mississippi and Arkansas we irrigate corn and beans with polypipe which means we plant on raised beds and the irrigation water flows down the middles. When we cut beans we always cut diagonally across the rows. It feeds better and since we have fire ants the beans feeding in at an angle helps the keep the fire ant mounds raked off of the header.
Love your dad's red truck.great vid forest.🤣🤣
Good attitude Zach, considering the weather you had for the crops. Hope God blesses you and yours even more this year!!
I really like your interaction with the kids!
I understand may think we be need hustle and bustle but I'm fine with you talking I'm learning allot very interesting stuff
Waiting in line hauling beans and figured why not watch it
If you guys got a repeater on top of your grain bin man you guys would have amazing range on those radios even with the handhelds
Getting your girls point of view made my heart ❤️🥲
Good evening. On your KW with the N14 in it. Your slow crank is a starter.
Good to see that harvest is started. Good luck, hope your yields are better than you expected.
For those locking collars, bring a drill bit the same size as the tap for the screw and add a small divot for the collar lock screw to get into. That way it’s not relying on clamping force so much.
Great video. Best farmer on you tube. And I watch all the farming videos on UA-cam. 👍❤️😁.
Good luck!! Hope your machines work well this year. At least you got two combines running and NEITHER of them is going to need repairs (fingers crossed)
His dogs are so free! Those have to be some of the happiest dogs I've ever seen. I mean they just get to run around that whole property for miles! Pretty good life for a dog. I wonder where they sleep LOL
They have beds in the heated garage and can go in and out of the doggy door as they please
And they keep the burglar population under control.

Your kids may not realize it now, but they have the best childhood ever !
Anna has 4 Paw Drive !
Ahhh nothing better than sitting down to lunch and watching this!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Speaking straight facts
True, but late dinner over here.
Very nice Forrest impersonation there at the end. I could just see Forrest as a farmer there for a brief moment.
Looked to see if anyone else commented on this yet, you beat me to it Sir.
You missed a great dad joke “The combine and head are doing a reel good job!”
God bless the farmers of America and God bless America
Good video. Long hours and days are exhausting. Little time with the kids but kids understand what dad is doing. Relieves there stressful day. Later.
Great Millennial Farmer Video, thanks for sharing
Got to love it when you first fire up the head and the reel wants to take off down the field
Red green would be proud of your fix
I was working at an elevator and an overhead drag plugged and blew the cover off, I was picking corn out of my tool bag for a couple years afterwards.
Just got an ad whilst watching your video, it was your truly millennial farmer talking about the Dakota micro cameras!
"Gee, I hope I didn't knock over any of that corn" Now that was rich.
It's nice you can joke about it a little. I mean the alternative is to just sit down and cry. (I've been there before).
Hope your yield is better than expected.
Take care.
Love the Forest Gump reference 😂 I’m 35 and only watched that movie for the 1st time recently
Very cool dad, your kids are beautiful.
Pretty awesome all the kids are showing an interest in the farm!
Good luck on everything y’all have in the fields and I pray for y’all have a great corn and soybeans harvest
i love this time of year

All the time!
Your kids are growing up so fast pretty soon they be going off to college. I glad you taking video spend time with them now
Why do people dislike this content? It's such a good time watching this
Petty pathetic people like. die-hard Case fans for example... they see John Deere and instant-dislike it for that reason only.
@@lunasilvermoon2283 so true. it's like playstation vs xbox. its all about who's the best
Also LOL to the now fully lite up "STOP " sign on the driveway. But seriously its sad you have to have that.
Wear a Safet harness and belt in!! 2:24
I think that ending was one of my favourites so far, Forrest
I love your harvest videos. They always get me wound up and rearing to go!

Growing up on a farm is priceless
In the ring you have the leak at, it looks like you are missing some bolts in the flange that sits under the collar. You mention that it pulled apart im guessing them bolts would bring that back together tight.
and in Colombia my grandpa used to fix the same way ....
I wanna see the corn harvest so bad. Can’t wait to see them videos
