Farmers around here in Missouri, they go to the local fire departments and buy their old hoses. Split the hose and wrap around the rubber hoses on the tractors. Should check the rub spots every year for wear on the hose and implement. If the implement starts wearing, weld a flat stock piece, so the hose wears on the flat stock. I remember the trailers with two axels and one rotates. Absolutely hated them. But once you learn to back them up, you can do it fairly quickly.
A roladex, wow, i remember having one of those, at 51, you think about all the ways you did stuff before computer's. I think mailing letters was big many year's back, because long distance phone calls were expensive. I was the remote control for my parent's tv, and that got to be kinda annoying when my siblings and i had our bedrooms upstairs. Being the oldest, meant doing more child labor tasks lol, but it made me tougher, as well as a hard worker. You guy's make a great team, and Brody fits in perfect with the younger fellas. God bless, pray your crops do well this year, and pray you get them all in.
If you rotate the box on your dump wagon, check for fluid in the tires of the dump cart on the none tipping side, our 960 Richardton had fluid in the tires on the none tipping side.
Prayers to you and your family... As a side note, recycled fire hose is a great protection jacket keeping hoses wires a additional barrier of cover from the sun and weather...
Chet, my first year working for a farmer bailing hay was taking the outside windrow off had two wagons behind the baler filled the front wagon unhooked the back wagon and he backed the wagon with the bailer out of the way told my dad about it and he said you should see him back two gravity wagons long live grain carts like you said they do have a purpose
Have ya'll ever thought about putting pool noodles around the hoses where they meet metal. That would save a lot of pain and trouble when it comes to keeping the metal from rubbing holes in your hoses. God bless many prayers and stay safe.
Why ain’t no one be pullin dat rolla bahind da planta. Y’all boiz burn that extra diesel and causing tha paction on the ground by drivin nother tractor over the same grounds. Gotta get that rolla attached to da bak da planta. Hire me as your consultant and I’ll save you money on fuel, maintenance, man hours, and depreciation on your tractors. Also need to haul the VT tool behind the combine.
It was a pleasure making it on the video... we may have just been the chip seal crew on the road but it was nice seeing our crew on the video... couple of big fans on the crew!!
I was pulling three empty wagons once. The last one the hitch pin popped out . The wagon went through a neighbor yard. Thru their split rail fence and ended up in the woods. Lol. The neighbor chased me down 3 miles down the road and told me I lost something. I was 13 yr old. My dad was not happy w me.
One time I was riding in a gravity box as a kid behind a corn picker. And the pin bounced out going down the road about 20 miles per hour. The gravity box started to pass the corn picker, and my dad never noticed. I dropped down inside the gravity box and prepared for impact. The gravity tongue dug deep into the side of the road in a ditch. I was ok, but my dad never noticed the gravity box was gone till he came to a stop sign. He had to drive a 1/2 mile back to hook back up.
Check with your local volunteer fire department to see if they have any used firehose . Usually there firehoses have a expiration date. They make great covering to protect hydraulic hoses. Usually give a donation and they will keep you in mind the next they have some to get rid of.
I used to make hydraulic hoses for a farmer I worked for. here's a hint for you guys. NEVER get rid of bad larger hydraulic hose...or get them from a dealer. When you make a new hose cut a piece of old larger hose slide it over new hose as a wear cover sleeve. These hose sleeves never wear through and protect the working hoses underneath.
My dad was a truck driver for 50 years and he told me several times when he was teaching me to drive and I thought I knew more than I did “I backed up more miles that you’ve driven forward boy”.😂 I sure miss him
Backing up the gravety wagons... I never could do it, backing up the manure spreader piece of cake. Yes, they do have competitions PA Young Dairyman did a video of his FFA practicing a month or so ago.
The Big Suede - great narrator and story teller, he should never get hosed for giving such a great training class on hose repairs. Rubbing points and pivot points sez Chet, sounds like a full body massage to us. Great Video gentlemen. Keep on whipping that gravity box trailer.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Gravity grain wagons. Oh boy. Could talk hours on those. Been there done that. Dougo is a real good backer. He did great with they wagon getting it backed up. Takes a lot to back them. I really did not mind, just have to take your time. Hydraulic hoses. Oh boy, hard to keep them from rubbing and then a leak. Nice if you can put something over them to protect them. I saw a guy once that got old out of date fire hoses and used them to protect the hoses. Good idea. Know you are anxious to start planting. Hopefully the ground will dry soon and you can get at it. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Oh Chet! You're getting a real good look into the old ways of doing things. Remember technology is as only as good as your underwear after taco Bell. Sometimes, definitely not always. The hard way is the easy way
Those stainless steel clamp get very hot in the sun all day.set the toe in on that trailer n it will pull straight guys.we use to back 2 hay wagons in the barn hooked together. One wagon is a piece of cake chet.
Doug's backing up rustiness... Toby Keith song... I ain't as good as I once was, But I'm as good, once, as I ever was :) I thought he did that pretty well...
With trailers like that we used to always put a receiver hitch on the front of all our trucks that way if you had to hook up to one of them you just drive it to where you want it then turn around hook it up to the front and then it’s real easy to control kind of like if you was using the skid steer or a forklift etc. etc.
Sorry I wanted to watch this yesterday but with the tragedy here just south of San Antonio I was watching the news all day I would really like for you to say something about Uvalde Texas in the 18 kids and two teachers that died
Me: Good morning my tractor!!.. start the engine and open the door!!...Prepare my coffee .(tractor voice assistant autonomous)😁 Tractor Otonomus voice assistant: Okey ma boss😉.. Wait for second!!...coffee is being prepared😁
Black turtle and other colored beans are fussy to make a good grade for processing. Augers are a no no. Augers make splits and cracked skins. If you put them in your big legs, make sure you clean the boots(bottom of the leg) and any flat drag chain conveyors. Please clean legs with a shop vac. Some people say just flush the leg with wheat and it will clean it enough. WRONG. Hope you have good luck with the colored beans.
Take old fuel hose, cut it length wise and wrap the roller or field hoses that sit outdoors tanning 10 months out of the year. Provided they aren't pre damaged.
LOL chat. I go to school bus for 18 years been a farmer all my life and I always told those girls that I drove with they couldn't call themselves a professional driver until they could back a four-wheel wagon
This comments for dougo,yes sir they still have the ffa trailer backing event, pretty sure I've dont about 8 of them in my younger years never could manage the tandem front axle gravity wagons but my buddy's manages them, if u know u know lol
Doug you had plenty of room why didn't you just drive to the back and make a U-turn to park the floater trailers, instead of taking a 1/2 hour to back in one, we had to listen to Chet ramble on about wet soil, help us out a little next time, please...
As a teenager back on the dairy farm in the 70s/80s, I was able to backup the tractor, a forage chopper and a chopper wagon a good ways, including being able to back around a 90 degree corner.
Forgive my ignorance but why on earth would you want to bury rocks with a roller? It won’t push them low enough to avoid the planter.. just hide them, then they damage the planter because you can’t see them
Hey guys how using those foam pool noodles to protect the hydraulic hoses. You can cut what length you and wrap around the hoses, then fasten them with tie wraps. Cheap fix.
So my family still uses the good old bin wagons like those and our hay wagons obviously have that steering type tongue too. But I remember watching my dad once back 4 loaded hay wagons down the cent of a barn cause we didn't have enough room to make the cover on the one end to come through either way.
I'm wondering if you can make the videos louder? I always have to turn up your videos,then the next video is blasting loud. Thanks for the content keep up the good work guys 🇨🇦
Go to your local fire station. Ask them for a few rolls of old fire hose. They replace them by age or damage. Remove the rubber inner hose and take that outer protective sheath/casing of that hose and cover your hydraulic hoses at rub points. It will not rub through that stuff
Lucky you my dad use to give my a bucket and have me walk the fields picking up rocks lol
Sending my prayers 🙏 to chet on the passing of your lovely wife a year ago God bless her

Hello from Canada
Thank you and good luck with the planting. Thinking of everyone and especially Nikkie this week. Take care and God bless.
Love and prayers to the Larsen family!

Great to see you all working so hard. Keep the videos coming!
Praying for everyone to have a safe plant 22 god bless everyone
Chet, my first year working for a farmer bailing hay was taking the outside windrow off had two wagons behind the baler filled the front wagon unhooked the back wagon and he backed the wagon with the bailer out of the way told my dad about it and he said you should see him back two gravity wagons long live grain carts like you said they do have a purpose
Doug don't forget what happens when you pull three and you're going a little fast that last 1 start whipping!
Very great video for the farm again 👍
We wrap our hoses in wire loom to keep the sun off seems to work really well for us and also keeps them from rubbing
Those gravity wagons are easier to unhook and push than try to back them
mn sky looking good
Thanks for the head brod butty ...
Get some hose sleeve it protects from rubbing and sun damage
.
I think Larson farms should bring back the trailer backing competition.
Have ya'll ever thought about putting pool noodles around the hoses where they meet metal. That would save a lot of pain and trouble when it comes to keeping the metal from rubbing holes in your hoses. God bless many prayers and stay safe.
Noting Nikki's passing a year ago this week, and sending hugs to Chet and all the rest... rest easy...
Wow a year already!
For ease of refabrication I would cut the tong off and weld it on the back, think about that for a minute.
RBB
EACH ADDED CONNECTION IS ONE MORE POINT OF FUTURE POSSIBLE ISSUES!!!!! something like that ;)
!!!!! BE BLESSED & BLESSED BE !!!!!
If you can find and old kinzie covayor cart that would be nice to
The bounce 😂 if you know you know
Y’all should start swapping to hard lines for the long runs
thats how i cube hopper trailer does if you get over about 47mph lol
There’s a storm coming!!!
Back up a trailer with a pick-up way harder than with a tractor.
What is the breakdown of acreage that you farm?
Why ain’t no one be pullin dat rolla bahind da planta. Y’all boiz burn that extra diesel and causing tha paction on the ground by drivin nother tractor over the same grounds. Gotta get that rolla attached to da bak da planta. Hire me as your consultant and I’ll save you money on fuel, maintenance, man hours, and depreciation on your tractors. Also need to haul the VT tool behind the combine.
Try backing 2 gravity wagons into a Granary that'll take a little bit of time.
You need to get seed in the ground
Plenty chemtrails again
Seal coat
I doubt Chet knows what a rolodex is :)
As a mama, watching your videos with my 3 boys, why don't you wear your seat belts?!?!
You know if you would have planted weat this year you would have paid off the farm .
start selling pet rocks , maybe a lot of money in them A .
It was a pleasure making it on the video... we may have just been the chip seal crew on the road but it was nice seeing our crew on the video... couple of big fans on the crew!!
That is awesome.
Awesome. I'm sure the locals appreciate the nicer roads. Or they should anyway
Prayers go to the Larson and the Miller families. Sure do miss Nikkis smile and how She was there for the Larson’s. Stay safe and god bless
FFA 1960 & 61 & 63 backing wagons and tractor driving. Backing wagons are a lot different from trailers. Good backing Dougo
Dougo’s the best!!
“Slingshot…….. Engaged!!”
😀
Chet and Family. Tough week this week. Thoughts and prayers.
I was pulling three empty wagons once. The last one the hitch pin popped out . The wagon went through a neighbor yard. Thru their split rail fence and ended up in the woods. Lol. The neighbor chased me down 3 miles down the road and told me I lost something. I was 13 yr old. My dad was not happy w me.
The hitch would dig into the ground before going that far nice try though
@@kenhofer8063 I thought the same thing. It went about 500 feet before the tongue buried . A true story. No reason to lie abt that.
One time I was riding in a gravity box as a kid behind a corn picker. And the pin bounced out going down the road about 20 miles per hour. The gravity box started to pass the corn picker, and my dad never noticed. I dropped down inside the gravity box and prepared for impact. The gravity tongue dug deep into the side of the road in a ditch. I was ok, but my dad never noticed the gravity box was gone till he came to a stop sign. He had to drive a 1/2 mile back to hook back up.
@@kenhofer8063 most are sprung up to assist hooking up
Absolutely amazed with the backing. Hard enough with a tractor. Very impressed backing with a truck.
Sending extra love and prayers to you all at Larson Farms. Holding you all in my heart this week. XOXOXOXOX
Prayers to the Larson and Miller families this week. Just know that Nikki is rejoicing everyday with the Lord!
Thoughts and prayers for Chet and family one year after Nikki's passing.
Check with your local volunteer fire department to see if they have any used firehose . Usually there firehoses have a expiration date. They make great covering to protect hydraulic hoses. Usually give a donation and they will keep you in mind the next they have some to get rid of.
That's a great idea!
Laws in my state i dont know about that state we cant give old fire hoses away anymore. Because other people were buying it for different fire houses.
Great channel...great content..
Are you doing a damage video to the farm from the strom..
I used to make hydraulic hoses for a farmer I worked for. here's a hint for you guys. NEVER get rid of bad larger hydraulic hose...or get them from a dealer. When you make a new hose cut a piece of old larger hose slide it over new hose as a wear cover sleeve. These hose sleeves never wear through and protect the working hoses underneath.
It's called Chip seal. And I was there helping them. Got a video of big sewd pulling the land roller
My dad was a truck driver for 50 years and he told me several times when he was teaching me to drive and I thought I knew more than I did “I backed up more miles that you’ve driven forward boy”.😂 I sure miss him
Praying for you guys this week. I have been rewatching Nicole’s videos. She was so sweet and down to earth. I loved her little girl voice.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ask Dougo if he could remember backing a wagon with horses
Peace to you Chet and all the family. Holding you all up in my thoughts and prayers.
Good to see Chet having a break, was kind of getting sick of his rambling..
Backing up the gravety wagons... I never could do it, backing up the manure spreader piece of cake. Yes, they do have competitions PA Young Dairyman did a video of his FFA practicing a month or so ago.
Tell Dougo, I Know, All Too Well, about Backing up more than Most People have driven Forward!!!
The Big Suede - great narrator and story teller, he should never get hosed for giving such a great training class on hose repairs. Rubbing points and pivot points sez Chet, sounds like a full body massage to us. Great Video gentlemen. Keep on whipping that gravity box trailer.
We are continuing to pray for you Chet and the Larson and Miller families. 🙏❤️
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Gravity grain wagons. Oh boy. Could talk hours on those. Been there done that.
Dougo is a real good backer. He did great with they wagon getting it backed up.

Those stainless steel clamp get very hot in the sun all day.set the toe in on that trailer n it will pull straight guys.we use to back 2 hay wagons in the barn hooked together. One wagon is a piece of cake chet.
There are zip ties that are rubberized and reuse able that are made specifically for non-abrasion.
Looks like at one time he could back those gravity trailers in his sleep 😴😂
Doug's backing up rustiness... Toby Keith song... I ain't as good as I once was, But I'm as good, once, as I ever was :) I thought he did that pretty well...
1:30 put a piece of old radiator hose over hydraulic hoses to protect from rubbing.
I found out that using a skid loader to back those grain wagons works wonders
With trailers like that we used to always put a receiver hitch on the front of all our trucks that way if you had to hook up to one of them you just drive it to where you want it then turn around hook it up to the front and then it’s real easy to control kind of like if you was using the skid steer or a forklift etc. etc.
Chet keep up with the video Swede is on top of it
Sorry I wanted to watch this yesterday but with the tragedy here just south of San Antonio I was watching the news all day I would really like for you to say something about Uvalde Texas in the 18 kids and two teachers that died
Great video Chet Dougo and Big Swede
Some good "Duggoisms" today along with that driving...
Me: Good morning my tractor!!.. start the engine and open the door!!...Prepare my coffee .(tractor voice assistant autonomous)😁
Tractor Otonomus voice assistant: Okey ma boss😉.. Wait for second!!...coffee is being prepared😁
Great. video Chet!! Missed Toby again! Hope he is doing ok!!!
Friend of mine uses 'pool noodles' to wrap the hydraulic hoses that cross over the frame....says it works great !!
Chet you need to get the Millwalkie Toilet Auto Plunger.
Black turtle and other colored beans are fussy to make a good grade for processing. Augers are a no no. Augers make splits and cracked skins. If you put them in your big legs, make sure you clean the boots(bottom of the leg) and any flat drag chain conveyors. Please clean legs with a shop vac.

Take old fuel hose, cut it length wise and wrap the roller or field hoses that sit outdoors tanning 10 months out of the year. Provided they aren't pre damaged.
They don't call them wiggle wagons for nothing. And if conditions allow just drive the trucks along side the combine for your black beans.
Not trailers/ wagons....big difference backing a wagon up, much harder to get used to, lots of practice
LOL chat. I go to school bus for 18 years been a farmer all my life and I always told those girls that I drove with they couldn't call themselves a professional driver until they could back a four-wheel wagon
This comments for dougo,yes sir they still have the ffa trailer backing event, pretty sure I've dont about 8 of them in my younger years never could manage the tandem front axle gravity wagons but my buddy's manages them, if u know u know lol
FFA trailer backing! 20’ 3 point implement through an 18’ gate competition too
Watch out for rough county farming. He’s coming after you 😂😂😂😂
Haha I did the tractor driving and trailer backing for FFA when I was in high school
Doug you had plenty of room why didn't you just drive to the back and make a U-turn to park the floater trailers, instead of taking a 1/2 hour to back in one, we had to listen to Chet ramble on about wet soil, help us out a little next time, please...

Get an Air over Hydraulic pump for hose crimper. Trucks have air compressor for in field uses.
On your dump wagon try and take the hitch off and put it on the other side so you don’t have to take the box off
Hey guys how using those foam pool noodles to protect the hydraulic hoses. You can cut what length you and wrap around the hoses, then fasten them with tie wraps. Cheap fix.

@7:01 I would look into braided Hydro hoses, a little more expencive but worth it in the long run
I'm wondering if you can make the videos louder? I always have to turn up your videos,then the next video is blasting loud. Thanks for the content keep up the good work guys 🇨🇦
