I’ve worked for several farmers over the years and they always seem to disappear when there’s any physical labor needed. Not at Larson farms, they are the first ones to get in there and do the work. Way to lead by example! Keep up the amazing content everyone!
Sometimes the camera guy beats them.
Chet’s definition of “We” is Eric and/or Brody while he watches 🤣
*grain farmers.
Larson are just a rare exception for that when it comes to physical labor
@@sahholsteins1 agreed 100%
You can mount the pump on the truck that you use to pull the trailer the most. That way it won't block any of the trailer bed.
But than you have to connect the hoses, lift the trailer, disconnect the 5th wheel, put the truck close to the trailer to connect the hoses and lower the ramp. Then you decide if you want the truck close while loading. 7 things you have to do for loading or unloading.
Thats pry why Doug wanted a new trailer with a RGN style vs the laydown neck
Chet tell Brody to watch his power washing hoses, or he might hit that switch below. True story, myself and 3 other workers were on top of a 6 by 14 scissor lift, and one of our chords hit the up switch and overrode our controls, which almost pushed us through the ceiling. I was starting to scramble over the edge when the electrician ran over and hit the switch luckily. Good times...
Chet you made Brody a happy man with that lift, also love Dougo comment bust out another $1000. The end is never in sight! Mount hydraulic unit on the truck that usually pulls that trailer!!!!!
Agreed but they swap trucks fairly often depending what grain they are hauling.
Maybe it could be made to swap it out to a couple different trucks as needed. Instead of mounting it on the trailer .
" fun sized man "
Why not paint a line on the floor. Then when your backing equipment over the pit, you can line against/along it. Not having to worry about dropping into the pit.
On normal trailers that would work, but with the side extensions on the lowbed you wouldn't be able to see the lines anyway.
I have a feeling I'm going to like the B.O.A.T. project more than normal videos.
It is awfully entertaining stuff! 😂
For all the "s" you put Brody through...he deserves this unit...We Love Brody!!!!
That’s called being the new guy, it’s not putting him through “s” it’s what just happened in the fields where you do physical labor🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Help protect your new lift, Get some Silica Gel Desiccant packs to put in box with electronics.
You better prep the bottom of the scissor for pressure washing, the control boards and charger for the water
FYI the 120 volt outlet is just a fancy extension chord built into the sissoring frame. You have to plug it into an outlet in order to have power up in the basket area.
It's time for everyone favorite segment - Boating with Captain Dougo.
I think Brody was happy, great addition for the wash bay!
Thanks for another great vlog!
"Look at em! He's fun size"! This is my favorite channel.
I know you are probably done with this project already but here goes. RUclipsr Cassey LaDelle has a trailer that looks like yours. His pony is mounted under the deck. He turns a key by those back tires and the engines starts.
You stole my thunder! I'm thinking the Larson's unit may be too tall to fit completely under the deck though. Casey's was manufactured like that as far as I can tell.
@@ridingwithairbubble1694 what's funny is when I see the way the Larson's unit operates Casey has that on his Western Star. He should plumb that ramp to run off that truck. Keep the pony as a backup.
Wonderful new addition. It will add lots of safety. Will be used more than you think. 🧐 😊
Cut the deck plate out over the rear axle. Then build a bracket for it to sit on above the rear axle and in between the frame rails. That way you can reach it from the rear to start the motor.
Agree, also the motor and hydraulic tank don't have to stay in that frame, mount them where room permits on a frame you fab up.
I work on boats and big yachts for a living and the pain never ends! Its always more money and then even more money! Boat does stand for bust out another thousand!!
As a person who uses those lifts all the time they are very sturdy at full height and yes you can stand out on the extension at all heights usually about 400 lbs I do believe
yes i have used a scissor lift like that a lot and bigger ones also, that is great lift and very safe..i am a electrician
I used to take new guys at work up on those things all the way up and just stand on the deck and just shake it back and forth and just watch a freak out have we had a I believe ours was a 50 ft it seemed like 80ft, big one 5x6 deck
Make sure you get a good cover made for that unit.
It's going eat a lot of dust and grime back there.
Nice unit, could have many uses. TAKE CARE GUYS AND STAY WARM !!!!
Smile on Brody’s face is worth $1 million guys. Now I’m just wondering if I can bring my vehicles over to get them washed lol..😀👍😂😂😂❤️❤️
Man you buy a guy a gift and he leaves you high in the dark. Dougo I can relate with the B O A T!
Yes mount it on the truck. Much better idea and way less work and smarter place to put it. You could even make a mount for it and make it portable to go on any of your trucks if needed. Thanks for the video.
One step further. Mount so you can remove it from the truck so only exposed to weather when needed.
Think a forklift slots for a base.
Then why not just put a wet kit on the truck. The reason they are going with this set up is so any truck they have can pull it and it's not limited to one
@@ajmages Mounting it on the rear of the trailer will be very hard on it. The roads will beat it to death. There is a reason there is no wet kit on that trailer. If they want to do it the correct way is buy the correct trailer. A detachable one and then one person can do the job.
@@ajmages but it is also limiting. Depending upon placement and its mounting the deck is no longer fully available.
Storage of this trailer. Does it merit space in a shed before. Will it now with this on board
Could this hydraulic equipment be used elsewhere and for other tasks.
Be nice but is doubtful that Chet waited for comments before proceeding with this project.
Could always do it twice.
Have a class on the man lift!!!!! Make sure that if you are operating close to an over head object that someone is on the ground knows without delay how to take control of the unit. When you are at the top of your lift, where you want to work, LOCK OUT THE UP COMMAND. You do not want the lift to get a notch in its belt like one I worked with. The Person was working under a beam when he leaned over the side and moved the up switch. The lift pinched him between the side rail and the beam. NO one on the ground knew how to switch control. We had class every time we worked close to an overhead structure.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHET and Dougo 😊
Back in the 80's I pulled a LoadKing like that one. The engine and hydraulic pump was mounted between the frame rails in the floor of the trailer right in front of the rear axles. We had several of those trailers and they worked pretty good.
may I suggest to you all, keep a maintenance logbook for piece of equipment. So when you guys are working on multiple pieces of equipment at one time, you're not flipping back and forth on one book. Also when you sale a piece of equipment its easy to sale and could add more value, because of all maintenance records are kept.
If you really go nuts get some digital tablets with maintenance manuals loaded for the equipment, then when you sell print records, and keep tablet for replacement equipment. You can set the tablets up for all kinds of inspections and maintenance issues as well as trends of inferior parts breaking too often.
It does take time to set them up, but when its done I believe you're going to love it.
You don’t even know the difference between sale and sell and yet here you are telling them what to do. I wonder how they ever became a successful multi generational farm without you telling them what to do?
Brody is like a kid on Christmas morning with his new toy! I so enjoy your videos Chet and Crew!!
Good luck guys. Thank you for sharing.
I can see a scissor lift sized door between the shop and the wash bay now. You know, for drying out. Its a just a matter of time. Congrats on your new very useful tool. 👍
Use a 2 inch trailer receiver and make a mount for the pump on the end of the trailer. Like a cargo carrier on a SUV.
if you mount pump on trailer put it in a gang box across tail to prevent theft ,extra room can be used for storing chains and holddowns ,simply put excavator bucket on goose neck when traveling, or fabricate box with angle iron sheetmetal and wire screen for venting. 3 rd option buy new lowboy and cancel sharpies order to pay for it lol
Always a joy when the Larsons upload a video!
tilt the motor so that you can access the lower unit easier, it's generally not very heavy but you'll need to see better when going back together
My advise from having the same situation? Make it so you can put it on any truck and use it that way. If you put it on the back of the trailer and you blow out a tire? You will have nothing then. We just made it so you can put on any truck and it makes it more useable. Hope tha helps? Thannks
VERY , VERY NICE LOVE YOU ALL THANKS FOR TAKE US ALONG
Everyone pitching in to fix Dougo's boat, nice!
When you four get together it can be so much fun, keep up the good work and be safe
Your video's are always entertaining and a joy to watch. As always stay warm and safe
This was a fun one.. You guys do it all..
Make a skid that will mount in the position of the deck plate on the trucks. Mount that pump to it so it wont be stuck on one truck and wont limit you on the use of your trailer.
Brody has definitely earned the lift. The guy's a beast when it comes to keeping equipment clean.
Nice! Something new and cool for Brody!
Another great video.......the look on Brody's face was priceless
Always love watching your videos
great stuff love safe surprises be safe god bless
Definitely recommend getting a Marine mechanic to rebuild and reinstall the lower unit. Also get a new prop. Any dents in the prop will translate to vibrations inside the engine.
Definitely you will feel even the smallest dent and it will vibrate like crazy!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Safety is so important on the farm & way to take care of your help Dugo & Chet!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍. 5 thumbs up.
As good as you are at fixing farm equipment I think you should let the boat mechanic handle the boat. 😂. Looked like a episode of the Keystone Cops 👮♀️😂😂
Sometimes you need to learn the hard way. Makes RUclips content
You guys should paint some guidance lines on the outside of the maintenance pit. A stripe on either side immediately outside the wheel tracks will give everybody a quick visual indication if they're centered over the hole.
I know there are ups and downs but you all seem to make the most of every situation, thanks as always for sharing all the shenanigans at Larson Farms
That shaft is longer than it looks. "That's what she said." 😁It's a Break Out Another Thousand...
You really did surprise Brody. That was great. (Maybe I’ll come down, maybe I won’t!)😂. That lowboy deck or those tracks sure were slick. I had some like that one time I was loading a Cat 335 excavator. Pretty slippery! Cool video 👍❤️
Chet you are the best.😊😊
One of your best videos in a while. Lots of surprises and humor 😂
AT the Utility I work at there is a program that uses QR codes. You set up a page for every piece of equipment that has all the service info on it. Then you place the QR code on the equipment and just scan the qr code and it goes to the page for that piece of equipment and and you enter in the info.
Thanks 👍
What's real sweet about this, we get to realize that you really can create your own wash bay heaven, nice!
You guys have wayyyyyy too much fun. :)
Have used those outside rain , snow never a problem. In refineries NW Indiana.
Great buy. I have about 20 of these for my buisness. So fun to see people who haven’t used them before, try and use them.
I worked with these lifts before and they are pretty fun to operate. As long you are up there and don't sway too much you are safe.
I believe they have covers that go over the tires on those trailers. Even if you don't buy one you could check them out and make your own. Keep up the good work fellas
We had these JLG scissor lifts at the airline I worked at. Great for working on regional jets with high mounted engines and t-tails. One evening I decided to get a picture of the sunlight hitting the mountains just right from the other side of the airport terminal, my coworkers did the same thing and turned off the basket control. Left me stranded fully extended for a while. At least it was a nice view.
I like the random 10 inches of square tube sticking down from the bottom of the trailer.
I agree with Doug. Newer trailer. 😊
Brody definitely deserves the lift after all the hassle he gets put through, but he always takes it well. And he knows you are all so well. You guys are fun to watch. And I am with Eric on going up high. The closer to the ground I am, the happier I am. Keep warm.
Now Brody will be washing even more, it will be a well used piece of equipment.
Dougo, two happy days for a boat owner. The first day you buy it, and the day you sell it!!. Sold my Skeeter Bassboat over the summer.
Thanks for another great video Chet.
It was most definitely interesting.
The look on Brody’s face when he saw the new lift was amazing. He was so happy. He couldn’t wait to get it inside to try it out. You were great to do that for him. He will get a lot of use out of that. Make a cover for the technology part of it to keep water off of it. Nice piece of equipment.
The power hydraulic system for the equipment trailer will be nice. Don’t need a tractor then. Mounting it might be a challenge. Know all of you will figure it out. Nice power unit. Might want a cover for it.
Dougo and his boat. Oh my. Looks like it took a heavy hit. Putting all that lower unit back together is not easy. If it was me would have a boat mechanic come and inspect it and put it back together. Dougo that is too bad it has issues. Sorry.
Thanks for everything Chet. You all take care.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Brody looked happy he deserved it he does a great job cleaning equipment
Yes Eric you can stand on the extension platform with that 19’ lift. Coming from an industrial electrician that has spent years on that same model lift. Been there, done, got the T-shirt. Great video Chet
Chet I am so glad you are feeling better and I am glad you have a wonderful wife to help you
nice video guys
Really excited for the trailer upgrade. That’s been driving me nuts
As far as maintenance records, if you want to keep track verbatim and extensively, have a record book for each piece of equipment which is always kept with that piece. Any time a maintenance procedure is performed, always log it in that record.
One thing I've noticed, is Dougo doesn't use the boom to move the excavator. When he was having issues loading, I was expecting him to extend the boom for stability.
He was holding a spare bucket already.
Didn't take long for Big Swede and Brody to mess with Chet when He was up in lift. You Guy's are a treat to watch.
Enjoy the new toys for the farm! 🚜
Oficina uma pessoa nos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Living on the Atlantic shore all my life and being around outboards and inboards I'm crackin up watching you guys. You can fix anything related anything inland but this mysterious piece of water kraft got you. Talk to your dealer about converting to a jet drive and be done with props.
We had a bunch of the drop neck trailers in the military. The pony motor was up front centered on the neck just behind where the neck pivots. It had a legit 1/2 steel door to lift up. All the controls and key start were up by where your hydraulic inputs are now. You’d have to pull it off its pallet. Only thing I can see is at the rear all the dirt a debris getting all over it. Up front it was in its own case. Regardless you guys will come up with a great solution that works for your operation.
Awesome video you guys rock
Good choice JLG is a good sizzor lift
I used to take those gear cases off all the time by myself. Tilt it up all the way and it is a one man job.
The Larson’s toys and you couldn’t smack the grin off Brody’s face, I luv the comment the Larsons never go shopping and come back empty
Eric, we are on the same wavelength. The first thought I had as well when Chet pulled out the platform extension.
You should take the new pump apart and make a box for it to fit in. Under the trailer in the space closet to the deck by the brake chambers for the first axle. It looks like enough space to put a shelf to hold the box. You should measure the space and see. From the top of the trailer cut an opening to start and access the pump.
Make a naugahyde cover for the controls station to keep most of the water off the control panel. And you can get a pressure washer hose up through the center and put a plug-in on the platform. They're included in the Towable versions of the lifts. And a plate for the gasoline pressure washer, too. 🎉 14:40
Make sure your cords are grounded
Nice to see the yellow vest on Brody...Thiers a reason people are required to wear them..The farms today are like comercial job sites and family lawyers will meet you in court if thier loved one is hurt or killed ..PERIOD
Omg Doug just cracked me up when you guys were taking that boat motor apart. You can slide it. It slid across the rocks. 😅
Best video yet. Love Doug O’s projects lol. Drop another 1,000
Can confirm, hire out the lower unit re-install! Did this with an 87 year old grandfather in-law, a 58yr old uncle in-law at the top of a dirt driveway in northern New Hampshire with FAR less tools and know how. It seems simple until you need to get the trans, motor, and both shafts into the same gear while holding, twisting, turning, persuading all of that together at once. Ask me how I know. Also would have loved to have had a seat like Erik while holding all that!
Magnifique matériel agricole et les camions et les remorque sont bien 😂😮😅😊
Do yourself a BIG Favor on equipment logs .. Make one for each one . Growing up my dad ran 4 Asphalt plants and 6 cement plants . as well as a lanf leveling compny that did lots of road building . between it all we had over 400 peices of equipment . We started out like you are now but we found out it was much easier to give each one it's own book . Also if and whe we sold that piece of equipment the book went with ir so the new owners could see what had been done to it over the years ...Dad was very proud of the system I went too.. Good Luck ..
Brody looked like he was in a candy store.
Good job Doug and Chet on purchase of real useable piece of equipment.
More planks on the tilt-back bed for Traction and control on the bed. The excavator needs something to grip onto the ramps and edges. 24:21
Broke my leg on a tractor in 2020 bought one of these after that. Best purchase . Love it for washing equipment.
Lift your boom up high. Track on till the machine wants to tilt on the deck. Then boom down. The machine will sit level. Best way to load in the winter
That scissors lift is going to be used all the time, good purchase guys.
Erik's huh when Brody talks about lift being stuck in air lol
Put the shifter in reverse so it's easy to turn the prop and get the drive splines aligned. Tilt the outboard back. Remove the cowl, hang a ratchet strap that hooks on both sides and runs under the lower unit. Easy controlled one man removal or install.
