I REALLY LIKE it when you apparently have the go-pro on your head so we get to see what YOU see and what you are talking about. Once again, GREAT VIDEO. It makes me thing of our grandfathers and what they would think about the machinery of today. Amazing!
I can see my grandfather out in the field with 20 mules . I had a way to share the picture I would . Boy you have more Gadgets in that tractor then an automobile has. Great video.
Where I live farming declined in the 80’s and gave was to suburbanization and subdivisions. There are some old tractors that are parked as ornaments. Old fordsons, farmalls , Ford N series. Things have sure progressed .
@@mcinty12 theres farmers in my County that use 60s 70s and 80s John Deere, Case-Internationals, Fords etc. Majority of farmers in Aroostook County use old tractors n it plows, seeds, everything perfectly.
As a software engineer in the Ag Industry, I love being able to see a video of the real world usage of the amazing technology in new machines! Not an overly commercialized or scripted marketing video. Thanks Zach!
Brilliant video. Im a cattle farmer in Ireland. Im only 43 and i remember pushing the lever up and down to open and close a Vicon artificial fertiliser sewer. Agri technology has made a massive leap in my lifetime. Keep her lit Zach.
An ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC video for us non-farmers, so we can TRY to wrap our heads around this tech. Maybe one of my favorite MFer videos ever! Thanks Zach!!!
Im a kid from suburban southern california and these videos are absolutely fascinating. Thanks for providing these and showing us what life on the farm is like
MF’r, thanks for the tour. I’m sure some of us would like to be in that cab so that we can see all the technology at work. Screens don’t often allow for good, closeups. But, you provided amble explanations for a non-farmer. Well done and much appreciated. You kept my interest all the way.
Fantastic video. I am 64 and I do not farm but grew up in Southern MN. I love seeing how much it has changed. Best thing I did in high school was to help bale hay when they still did the small bales.
I LOVE the way BECKY edits these shows. WONDERFUL, PROFESSIONAL, and FUN to watch. WTG BECKY ..... then again the 'Actor' that plays the Millennial Farmer is good too.... Love the Family....
That was amazing. I’m 70 and my grandfather used the old 2 cylinder Deere’s. He used a 2 row planter. I would ride it and help fill the planter. We used 1 gallon cans to dump in. John Deere has come a long way. I really enjoyed this, especially the computer part on tractor and planter. Keep’em coming.
the technology in a tractor is absolutely mind blowing ,first field i ploughed 50 years ago a small tractor no cab and a 2 furrow plough ,hailstones rattling the ears ,hands so cold you could not feel them ,good old days ,no thanks ,now heated seats air conditioning and a tractor with a mind of its own tooooo much ologies to work out that systems ,great how you have it all worked out though ,fantastic video ,thank you from Bonnie Scotland
I'm not a farmer, I just browsed into your videos & find them entertaining. I was pleased to hear you make a point of turning your lights on for the road trip. I have started "fights" on social media before over that issue.
"Ground control to Farmer Tom" WOW that is more like an astronaut than what I have always thought of as a farmer.......Technology is putting the family farmer on an even playing field with the corporate guys.....GOOD FOR DEERE!
Each time I see you use these machines. It is so much different then the 'old days' of farming. Growing up a 4 to 6 row planter was the norm. Take care be safe and thank you for the video. 'Spin'
This kind of video is the reason I found the channel in the first place. You were showing monitor functions or something in that video, so this kind of thing is really cool for those of us who can't get in a tractor and figure it out ourselves. Also, the podcast is thoroughly entertaining and I'm loving every one. Thanks Zach and Becky!
So Zach I have to say I'm very impressed with the technology they have on the machinery now days thank you for explaining everything ,I'm blowing away !!!

@@outdoortv475 It guides itself with satellites, it can open a row and push a seed in at 10 mph (x16), it has two touch screens, it can tell you when it plants too many seeds, or too few, it can sense and adjust down pressure on each row separately, and that's just the basics. . . the computers and actuators in that planter and tractor together do more things in a millisecond than a human could do in several hours. I'd say it really is that complicated.
Lol that is indeed the most annoying thing about Netflix, plus the inability to make a playlist of films or shows and just hit play to watch through the whole list uninterrupted.

This is Houston. You're doing a great job Millennial Zach. You're maintaining all normal conditions and your supper will be ready at 1900 hours if you want it. Otherwise, the microwave is your next option. Over and out. Great equipment, great lesson, but it sure looks like it can keep you on your toes. Making sure everything is working properly.
I would really like to see your farm in the fields perspective Zach, maybe a farm tour or map view like Farming simulator as a example to see where all your fields are located and what types of fields has the most rocks or best yields to give a better perspective of all the fields we have seen so far on your videos.
Hey Zach,It's the Old Man from Cleveland,Ohio and I absolutely enjoy seeing all the new machinery and technology. It sure beat when I was sitting out in the open running my Uncles Farm-all sitting on a metal seat with holes stamped in it. Two Thumbs Up to John Deere for making all this possible. Take Care,Dale
I grew up not far away spent hours in the 70's as a kid in an 806 with an add-on cab and now I have to say "What?" everytime someone says something. You're lucky to have these nice quiet machines!
Love the point of view perspective Zach. Still fascinates me how amazing it is to farm the Millennial way. Thanks for the great video and keep 'em coming ;). All of the best for the rest of the sowing season.
"Captain Zach" on your flight today, fasten your seatbelts, tray tables forward. The automation in these new tractors are start look like the cockpit in the jet.
Very good. This brings back mostly good memories. My first tractor fieldwork was about 1964, when Dad trusted me with a Ford 9N to pull a drag harrow (perhaps 8 feet wide). It was important not to turn too sharply on the ends. Later, progressing into the early 1980s, the most complicated it got for me was using a JD 4840 with a Sidewinder cultivator. I still got nervous coming to the ends, since turning demanded quick action with the PTO lever, the 3pt lift, the steering wheel, and the brakes -- all while not destroying crop or turning too sharp! Between my time on the 9N and the 4840, i drove a Ford 900, a couple of IH M's, a JD B (hand-clutch), a JD 4420, at least three different JD xx30 models, a Case 830, and a Hesston 500 with a 14 foot hay head. These were for different farmers here in Central Nebraska. It was always turning at the ends that worried me! I look forward to seeing your video about programming the turnarounds.
WOW, well done video, a computer geek you have to be to farm with that equipment, my day growing up on a farm we had a 6' grain drill for planting oats pulled by a WD 45 Alis Chalmers. Anyone with a John Deere tractor was one that banged away on 2 cylinders
Jeez you guys have to be very smart to run these new tractors! Hard workers, smart, dedicated..I am very impressed...thank you for all you guys do to keep America such a great country...
In true millennial fashion, I can't imagine how much harder farming was without all the automation and technology. Really makes you appreciate farming and how much work farmers do any given day. Thanks for all the videos and insight you provide.
I really loved it, i hope you do some more of these videos. I really learned a lot about driving a tractor, i hope one day i will get the chance to drive any tractor to be honest. I'm not a farmers son, i am a 26 years old salesman in digging equipment and still can't shake the feeling that i'm at the wrong job. I should do something with tractors i really do! Keep this up, i love you video's you're funny a hell!!!
Man all that green paint is a beautiful sight! Millennial Farmer channel definetly inspired & motivated me to start my own RUclips Farm channel. Thanks & Cheers 🍻 from Prairie Sunset Ranch.
I think that was one of my favorite videos yet....for us city folk it's kinda cool to be able to see the inside of your tractors and how they operate millennial style...Keep em coming...your doing a great job
I'm probably a little old-fashioned, but I really like the opportunity of modern agriculture to ease the work of farmers. When I was a kid, in the 60's, most farmers were worn in the back and hips when they were about 45. Now it's different. A farmer of today can be healthy well into the years. The fact that I am old-fashioned comes from the fact that I drove these old "iron tractors" already at 10 years.
Another great video showing off this game changer! Roll the clock back 65 years and you would cruising on a John Deere 60, 321 cubic inch liquid cooled 2 cylinder, 37 horsepower and 6 forward gears, my how the times have changed.
@@trevbrownfarms4153 dude I live in Ireland, its very rear that you see a tractor that big over here. There's only 1 quad track in the whole country and I don't think there's any big tracked deeres😭😭 😂
Zach the change in farming in the ten years is phenomenal let alone from the time when I was home farming in the late 60s early 70s, a lifetime ago we had a four row planter and a John Deere 730 Diesel which was great at the time. This equipment you have now is incredible.
Next up, John Deere x- box. I can sit in the office and send all my stuff to the fields, plant, and then return to the barn with my remote control panel. All while watching it on my 82 inch tv.
Jaco. v. D :: I guess this what happens being raised old school. Technology is nice, but I’m a hands on type guy. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
I think it would be possible with the technology available nowadays. But I don't think it's happening soon, because you have to be able to get control over your tractor if something unexpected happens, especially while driving on the road.
49k in 4 hours good, and yes diesel do have both intake and exhaust lifters. Please let us know what it was in the next video. Thanks again for the videos I watch you instead of the evening news. Much better to watch and listen to somebody who has something interesting and positive to say. Cheers Phil
God, that’s a pretty tractor! Well, I’ll know how to drive one if I’m ever able to come up with the money to get one! Thanks! Haha. 👍 This answered a lot of the questions I had.
That was a great episode. With the hat mounted camera & step-by-step explanation of what you’re doing helped me get the big picture of running a modern tractor & corn planter. Thanks. Hope the issue with the other tractor is not serious. Take care & stay safe. Cheers
What a cool machine. I'm an operator for our Union Local 3 in California. I operate all the standard digging, grading and dirt work machines but those farm tractors are so awesome. Like a smart phone but built into the tractor
Great content Zach!!! I've been wanting to ask you to get a first-hand view of what it looks like to actually be a farmer. Need more of this definitely
Great video Zack. I, as a white-collar professional I am fascinated with farming and really enjoy the tutorial videos. This way I can live vicariously farming through you
Is there a button similar to the “man overboard button” used in marine GPS/boats but for rocks? So you can come back later in the year and pick them out.
I've been wondering that myself. Apparently farming GPS systems are accurate to an inch (or less?). In addition to the "man overboard" - call it a "there be a rock here", or an "anything else you don't want to run over thingy ma-bob here" - function/marker, wouldn't the whole system know to avoid or skip over the obstruction? Or at least throw up a big ol' "master caution" warning light/alarm to let the pilot, er, operator, handle the situation?
If the developers designed the back end correctly, it should not be very difficult for them to add that functionality to the system. And that is a great idea, especially marking things like drain tile inlets, etc. This post needs more upvotes so maybe Zach can see this and give that feedback to the developers.
I can't wait to hear the review. I really think tracks are the way to go if you are worried about soil compaction after last fall when I bought a grain cart with tracks instead of wheels. I could just tell where the cart with tracks was and where the tracks with wheels was as we chiseled. 8R410 is big enough to do most anything I would want to do with it. Probably knock my head off when I findout what the 8R list for. Thank You Zach for the video.
That looks like a great pice of machinery, it simplifies the process of farming. It’s nice to see what the farmers do to keep our country in the food that we consume.
I Like the fact that you are humble and great full to have us watching and you tell us that you are. That I think is the biggest reason I watch you. Awesome vids keep teaching us how easy you have it. Lol
She's a bit easier that a massey fergusson 135 😂😂. To go top speed you flick the gear stick forward in that tractor. In the 135 you've to stop completely, dog the stick into h 3, let up the clutch slowly,pull back the throttle and hold on for dear life😂
Okay, so to state the obvious. I grew up on a grain/animal farm in Saskatchewan during the 70's and 80's - we were a small farm, but never (and still don't) fantasized about the technology involved to today. Almost perfection - all we need now is rain and heat control for the crops. Great video - #cockshutt RIP Dad.
I don't know why they didn't stop with late 80's early 90's ( the best tractors ever made. That goes for the big Three , ford/ newholland ,case ih and John deere) mechanics and then added all the technology. Electric over hydraulic sucks period , there is no no "feel" for what is going on behind you. The over complicated transmissions that try to do your job for you, and all the the stupid wires and connections you have to check if something goes wrong, not to mention having to call someone to hook a laptop to it to figure out what is wrong with it and the software updates to keep using it . The older tractors were built for the long haul, the new ones are built for people trading them out before the warranty is up.
Don't get me wrong, the new technology is great, efficient and easy to operate ( I have run late model challengers , Ferguson and Deere) but when it comes to fixing it you have to be a controls engineer to figure out what is wrong with it and on top of that there is the "government juice" and all of the bs involved with that( Brian's farming videos). I'm not a millennial and also not a Boomer. I just have memories of a simpler times when the only electronics you had to worry about was the starter, lights and most importantly the radio.
@@joernd8449 You said it! Not to mention (if you do manage to pay for this "stuff", not just pay interest) you still don't even own it because of all the software ownership battles.
Dinggggggggg!!!! You're free to move about the cabin now. Dont forget to lock your tray and put back your magazine. Thank you for planting with us. Join us again on your next flight.
What a change from when I worked on our farm in ND. We had John Deer 720’s and then the 4020’s. I really enjoy your video’s and all your activities as it brings back lots of memories. I like hearing how you solve the various issues and show people how a farm works. Keep up the good work. Go JD👍
Amazing equipment! I grew up dry land wheat and barley farming. Started driving IH crawler tractors at 12 or 13 in the mid 60's. We had hills the plains farmers would call mountains. Modern was the upgraded heads for our 50's era tractors and hydraulics to replace the trip ropes on the plows. Bottom plowing was the only way and due to an average rainfall of 12 inches we cropped only half of 2500 acres each year. No available water for anyone to irrigate. We always created anything that we could think of to improve efficiency and saw good results. It was a great life and great community of farm families. I will never get over the idea of having to drain excess water from the soil!
Great video with MF view! But does anyone else remember when planting was - lower hydraulics, throttle up to chosen RPM, plant, end of rows, turn, repeat. Tested population when you started to see little green plants sprouting. 😂
I REALLY LIKE it when you apparently have the go-pro on your head so we get to see what YOU see and what you are talking about. Once again, GREAT VIDEO. It makes me thing of our grandfathers and what they would think about the machinery of today. Amazing!
Its about time he gets one after always complaining how hard it is to do things one handed or having to find somewhere to mount it
I can see my grandfather out in the field with 20 mules . I had a way to share the picture I would . Boy you have more Gadgets in that tractor then an automobile has. Great video.
I think what's really going to be nuts is what his grand kids are farming with.

@@trevbrownfarms4153 dude I live in Ireland, its very rear that you see a tractor that big over here. There's only 1 quad track in the whole country and I don't think there's any big tracked deeres😭😭 😂
I have to agree with your initial impression. Space ship for sure. Very cool giving us a driver's eye view!
This tractor is sooo nice 😍
Zach the change in farming in the ten years is phenomenal let alone from the time when I was home farming in the late 60s early 70s, a lifetime ago we had a four row planter and a John Deere 730 Diesel which was great at the time. This equipment you have now is incredible.
Next up, John Deere x- box. I can sit in the office and send all my stuff to the fields, plant, and then return to the barn with my remote control panel. All while watching it on my 82 inch tv.
Dont worry its not to far away from reality 5 years max
Jaco. v. D :: I guess this what happens being raised old school. Technology is nice, but I’m a hands on type guy. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
CAT has that in their large mining dozers!!!
I think it would be possible with the technology available nowadays. But I don't think it's happening soon, because you have to be able to get control over your tractor if something unexpected happens, especially while driving on the road.
The red tractor company that cunfuses Zack has already done that. Its on RUclips. Not real popular though.
49k in 4 hours good, and yes diesel do have both intake and exhaust lifters. Please let us know what it was in the next video. Thanks again for the videos I watch you instead of the evening news. Much better to watch and listen to somebody who has something interesting and positive to say. Cheers Phil
God, that’s a pretty tractor! Well, I’ll know how to drive one if I’m ever able to come up with the money to get one! Thanks! Haha. 👍
This answered a lot of the questions I had.
iui 8i u88juh uh but TV buhhf5 ggv
Your farm has changed so much over the last 4 years
The technology is amazing
Yeah, till they break.
That was a great episode. With the hat mounted camera & step-by-step explanation of what you’re doing helped me get the big picture of running a modern tractor & corn planter. Thanks. Hope the issue with the other tractor is not serious. Take care & stay safe. Cheers
Anyone else out there change a lot about themself’s after watching Zac for a couple years
Josh Erickson definitely😂
Between Zack and Cole i've got a lifetime of debt owed to productivity haha
Trying to, just not having too much success with the current situation
Not a dig at Zach, but no, be yourself man.
I would only change a few things in my life. But 31+ years in the fire service, I wouldn't change much.
What a cool machine. I'm an operator for our Union Local 3 in California. I operate all the standard digging, grading and dirt work machines but those farm tractors are so awesome. Like a smart phone but built into the tractor
Great content Zach!!! I've been wanting to ask you to get a first-hand view of what it looks like to actually be a farmer. Need more of this definitely
Zack ,thanks for showing us how it all works, that tractor is sure nice! Thank you and your dad and jim for all of you guys hard work!
Michael Bloomberg told me you just put a seed in the ground -- anyone can do it. This seems a bit more complicated than that 😉
Great video Zack. I, as a white-collar professional I am fascinated with farming and really enjoy the tutorial videos. This way I can live vicariously farming through you
Seeing this and comparing it to a horse and plow i can confirm that the difficulty skyrockets the more horses you have..
Imagine running a plow with 410 horses in front of it 🤣
@@SchrottiJr I am: and you wouldn't want to cough or sneeze!
@@SchrottiJr Good luck with that auto steer turn ;D
Good perspective of running new 8xr and high speed Deere planter. Love John Deere equipment!
Damn, need a co-pilot to keep track of everything, while you drive!!
Thing is he wasn't driving!
Zach, you do a really great job of explaining how things work. I really enjoy listening to you.
Next, you'll have to do a POV on "How to get Jim Unstuck" feat. Yankem Ropes ;)
I think that’s just truly awesome to run that fast and to get it right the whole time. Incredible
Is there a button similar to the “man overboard button” used in marine GPS/boats but for rocks? So you can come back later in the year and pick them out.
I've been wondering that myself. Apparently farming GPS systems are accurate to an inch (or less?). In addition to the "man overboard" - call it a "there be a rock here", or an "anything else you don't want to run over thingy ma-bob here" - function/marker, wouldn't the whole system know to avoid or skip over the obstruction? Or at least throw up a big ol' "master caution" warning light/alarm to let the pilot, er, operator, handle the situation?
If the developers designed the back end correctly, it should not be very difficult for them to add that functionality to the system. And that is a great idea, especially marking things like drain tile inlets, etc. This post needs more upvotes so maybe Zach can see this and give that feedback to the developers.
That's included according to this video: ruclips.net/video/rZMcnBKe1UY/видео.html
Brad Meacham yes on the mapping, you can add a variety of things. Including putting a “flag” on the map to show anything you need
I can't wait to hear the review. I really think tracks are the way to go if you are worried about soil compaction after last fall when I bought a grain cart with tracks instead of wheels. I could just tell where the cart with tracks was and where the tracks with wheels was as we chiseled. 8R410 is big enough to do most anything I would want to do with it. Probably knock my head off when I findout what the 8R list for. Thank You Zach for the video.
Imagine going down the street with the planter unfolded.
That's when the street turns into your field
That looks like a great pice of machinery, it simplifies the process of farming. It’s nice to see what the farmers do to keep our country in the food that we consume.
Yes, fantastic technology to make farming easier, and it will only cost you many hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy that machine.
Precision planting still has more for the money
I Like the fact that you are humble and great full to have us watching and you tell us that you are. That I think is the biggest reason I watch you. Awesome vids keep teaching us how easy you have it. Lol
She's a bit easier that a massey fergusson 135 😂😂. To go top speed you flick the gear stick forward in that tractor. In the 135 you've to stop completely, dog the stick into h 3, let up the clutch slowly,pull back the throttle and hold on for dear life😂
I learned on a '73 (I think) Massey 135. Many great memories of being out in the field with my dad on that tractor.
That is some absolutely gorgeous rich black dirt.
Dammit Zach, you got me jealous. Better paint it red though
Okay, so to state the obvious. I grew up on a grain/animal farm in Saskatchewan during the 70's and 80's - we were a small farm, but never (and still don't) fantasized about the technology involved to today. Almost perfection - all we need now is rain and heat control for the crops. Great video - #cockshutt RIP Dad.
Nice equipment you've inspired me to start my own channel and I hope that you can check it out @ More Than Farming. Love your videos.
That planting system is awesome!
So with all new tractor's it's a computer on wheel's...! give me a Ford 5000 any day...!
It's definitely a green spaceship!
I don't know why they didn't stop with late 80's early 90's ( the best tractors ever made. That goes for the big Three , ford/ newholland ,case ih and John deere) mechanics and then added all the technology. Electric over hydraulic sucks period , there is no no "feel" for what is going on behind you. The over complicated transmissions that try to do your job for you, and all the the stupid wires and connections you have to check if something goes wrong, not to mention having to call someone to hook a laptop to it to figure out what is wrong with it and the software updates to keep using it . The older tractors were built for the long haul, the new ones are built for people trading them out before the warranty is up.
Don't get me wrong, the new technology is great, efficient and easy to operate ( I have run late model challengers , Ferguson and Deere) but when it comes to fixing it you have to be a controls engineer to figure out what is wrong with it and on top of that there is the "government juice" and all of the bs involved with that( Brian's farming videos). I'm not a millennial and also not a Boomer. I just have memories of a simpler times when the only electronics you had to worry about was the starter, lights and most importantly the radio.
Amen brother...
@@joernd8449 You said it! Not to mention (if you do manage to pay for this "stuff", not just pay interest) you still don't even own it because of all the software ownership battles.
That was pretty cool. Tractors and planters have come a long ways since I helped my grandparents plant. We opened a lot of bags back then too.
Excellent tutorial on the equipment..you are on top of the game.My family's past are Minnesota farmers, keep up the good work
Very cool to see the tractor operate from your point of view. Definitely a lot of technology and information involved in planting today. Great stuff.
Dinggggggggg!!!! You're free to move about the cabin now. Dont forget to lock your tray and put back your magazine. Thank you for planting with us. Join us again on your next flight.
What a change from when I worked on our farm in ND. We had John Deer 720’s and then the 4020’s. I really enjoy your video’s and all your activities as it brings back lots of memories. I like hearing how you solve the various issues and show people how a farm works. Keep up the good work. Go JD👍
Zach as a Wisconsinite I love your channel have been for about a year now also listen to off the husk podcast as well.
Hands down best video I’ve seen on the channel!
Amazing equipment! I grew up dry land wheat and barley farming. Started driving IH crawler tractors at 12 or 13 in the mid 60's. We had hills the plains farmers would call mountains. Modern was the upgraded heads for our 50's era tractors and hydraulics to replace the trip ropes on the plows. Bottom plowing was the only way and due to an average rainfall of 12 inches we cropped only half of 2500 acres each year. No available water for anyone to irrigate. We always created anything that we could think of to improve efficiency and saw good results. It was a great life and great community of farm families. I will never get over the idea of having to drain excess water from the soil!
Great video with MF view! But does anyone else remember when planting was - lower hydraulics, throttle up to chosen RPM, plant, end of rows, turn, repeat. Tested population when you started to see little green plants sprouting. 😂
