That is one adorable little lady. Enjoy your time with her. mine are in College.and I miss that age. God bless your family and farm. Heart of America is our farmers.
Thank you sir!
It's not the size of your hose that matters. It's the sustainability of your pump that matters :)
lol
🤣🤣🤣
Sure but then you and up with triplets.
Like the way you relate to, and include the family, especially Ila. She will have fond memories of her happy childhood later in her life; what it's all about guess. God bless you and yours and be safe.
I don’t know how you have enough time in the day to do everything you do kids family and a huge farm but thank you for showing the average joe like me from southern Ohio how you work a farm and the misconceptions that people have of what you do thank you for showing me and everyone else how and why
your little one, is she ever a cutie! always warms your heart seeing her smile, doesn't it? keep up the good work!
There's always something special about a daughter in addition to their eyes and expression, I'm 25 yrs into trying to figure out what it is.
My memories of MN exactly, move the snow one way and the next day move it the other way, fun, fun and aren't those oil leaks fun!! Thanks for your entertainment and experiences
I feel your pain with the breakdown, every time I start to do something I have to fix something, yours is on a much bigger scale thus is a much bigger headache, I love how you handle it all. Still my favorite YT channel. Keep them coming so I can feed my Millennial Farmer addiction.
replaced that same hose on my 7400 years ago. close to same issue with alignment but after holding my tongue just right and scratching my back with my pinky toe I was finally able to get the hose connected without having a 2nd one made. Love your editing, or your wife's editing, or your kids editing - takes time but well worth it!
Every 1 hour job is one hydralic line away from a 12 hr ordeal
Chevy AND John Deere! I love this channel
I am not a farmer. I’ll never be one. Have always been and always will be a city boy. That doesn’t stop me from being Interested in the work farmers do. You my friend provide interesting and entertaining content. I enjoy your humor and information you provide. I enjoy watching the day to day operations. It satisfies my childhood dreams of driving tractors. Please continue making new content! I am now a subscriber.
You are one of the only people on RUclips that can make chores and monotonous tasks look fun through your editing! Love these videos
300k Subs about to be here in no time. Great Vid Zach
a Poland
So excited!! Been anxiously waiting for a vid. Laughing already. Ila is so darn cute! Your vids keep getting better and better!! You have the best comedy. Enough with the compliments. Keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing the snowblower hose story. There are these days where you are busy and going and working.... and at the end of the day it feels like you did nothing. Hate it, but it happens!
I was never a John Deere man before I started watching your videos but boy am I now. I bought me a nice fluorescent green Deere hat and a nice camouflage Deere beanie that fits great and it keeps my bald head nice and warm. That’s to use in this south Mississippi winter weather we get lol
“It’s not the size of the hole that matter” 😂😂 I saw that smirk
lol my daughter plays the same game of “pretend sleeping”. Also, my whole family has vacationed on lake Minnewaska, crazy to think how close you are, awesome lake for just about anything! Great video, can’t be all rainbows and unicorns when working on the farm!
She is absolutely adorable !
I've changed the hose n the one above on my 6810. Probably not the best connector/hose selection. I love them tractors though. Swapped a 4,2 kW starter on, and she wakes up a lot brighter in the snowy season. A little over 5200 hrs on her, never ridden hard n put away wet. Love her.
The little one is such a cutie.
That is normally how it goes for me, too.....
1 step forward,
and about 47 steps back!
Hello from the Netherlands/Holland. Discovered your channel recently, and i like it. Like the whole concept, your positive attitude. You are a real ambassador for agriculture, even when i"m not a farmer. I was in the 70-s. The way you explain things about farming today is awesome. Even to your wife or students :) Defenitely m gonna see more. With kind regards, Gerrit.
Thank you sir!
Like how you take your kids on the tractors. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Love your sense of humor.
You sure do have some good, cute help. :) And I almost inserted a TWSS into one of my videos recently and didn't... You win.😆
Love the background music.
I feel your pain my friend. A short story for you. I work snow removal during the winter here in Canada. First winter storm of the year in 2015, 11 inches of snow, our old 2002 Case 580SM blew one of the steering hoses at the front axle less than one hour into the shift. After clearing my own route and 16 hours of non stop living the dream. I went and removed the hose got a new one made within minutes of the last shop closing for the night (around 2am). Now, unlike your blessed, beautiful shop, I had to replace this thing on the side of a city street, in a foot of snow, in the lovely tropical weather that is Canaderp. No less, with a hose stiffer than a honeymoon... you get the point. After friggin around and damn near completing the self destruction of my own competence, I let out one last go and twisted that hose onto the threads. And there it was, fixed and living. I was the only one left working, all my employees had gone to bed. I ran that 580 and completed the operator's route on top of mine, 33 hours in total, it was one of my greatest moments running my own business. There are certain sacrifices worth more than any balance sheet could show you. I really appreciate your work, the smallest victories are always the most rewarding.
Thus comment reminded me of doing some painting at 2dif home depots at same time,i was supervising 2dif crews(i interior an 1exterior and we had ah big section prepped and blocked off by store to spray and the sprayer blew a oart that i had to get n fix and 36hrs straight work no sleep got err done,.still record work hrs for me and i pray i never have to work more then 20hrs straight again in my life cuz thats when i want to die anything after that.. God bless,i hope all is well 2yrs later for ya🙏
Dude! Thats a Victory CCT. I love you even more now!
Good job as always! Working on hydraulic hoses in the winter SUCKS!!!! I'm diggin' the Super Mario Bros. interlude music.
Hydraulics always sucks
Wonderful video! Beautiful capture!
Your daughter is just precious
i just started watching your videos and they are great. I think that your cause of bringing light to the farming community to the world of social media is a great idea. The main reason i am commenting on your video is because i am sure that you paid a small fortune for the hose, why not make it yourself? There are many company's that would sell you all you need to make the hoses for your tractors. We actually have a setup where i work since we cannot afford to be down for a few hours as a shop makes another.
"I'm about to do something you shouldn't do" But it gets the job done and nobody was hurt. Farming 101.
Do as I say, not as I do *LOL*
When it shot out of that hose, I quickly said "there it is",as if you heard me; you did didn't you?
If you have a fairly strong leaf blower, that makes clearing the snow of your vehicles parked outside less tedious! Plus if you have the mount on your back kind of leaf blower, it makes you feel like Ghost Busters for a few minutes!
That daughter is so precious. Going to have fun keeping her in tow in 10 years!
So you bought a new jacket and got a free header, right?😂😂
That’s what you tell the wife 😂😂
ya right
I wish
It's really too bad you didn't get the wife a new jacket as well, you could've ended up with a new combine to match the new header LMBO oh wait that's not how it works is it lol DANG IT
John lee ub
Holy snow!!
Your such a good farmer. Love the video. Glad your daughter was able to ride. You and Mrs. Becky sure know how to do it right. Congrats on the new Drapper Head. Have fun at the game. Thank You for awesome video. Very much appreciated. Never get tired of your material. Had a good time watching.

18" of snow... that's a "problem" I would love to have here! Great video!
Here i Finland follow the oil track on the road then you will find a John Deere 😂 Nothing leaks oil like a Deere 😂
Hate it when you start a simple job that then takes ages...
Feels like everyday at my job
Don't you just love those 5 minute jobs that end up taking 5 hours out of your time, lol P.S. back in the day when my uncle owned dump trucks, backhoes and road graders in garage working on them we used to use kitty litter for any oil spills, works great and a lot cheaper than what you are using to just sweep it away in the garbage.
What is "simple job"? Lol
Every 20 minute job is only one broken bolt away from a 3 day ordeal.
Story of my life. If need to just move some tractor out of the way, say 2min "job", i have to start by fixing my tools, after i have searched them for some two hours, yeah then fix them some 5 hours and then i can begin the engine rebuild of that tractor because of course the crankshaft is broken just then. So.. after some week or two of 200h of work, i get to move it that 5 meters out of the way. This goes for everything. lol.
Awww the trees have frosting. ❤❤❤
Just discovered your channel, and have been enjoying your humor and daily adventures. Damn snow.
I felt your pain with that hose not fitting....I had one replace a long steel line on the magnum...I think it was half a degree off and there was no way I could get it on.
They're about impossible sometimes if they're not perfect
I so feel your frustrations with getting the right part the first time!
@@danw1030 it's hard to get it just 100 percent right...the shorter and bigger the hose the harder it is
Yup I hear you guys there...I had one that blew out under the engine on the skid steer. Major pain
Northern farmer “that’s what she said”
Yes your back,happy newyear all off you thx for sharing.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕💕💕💕💕❤️🥳🥳🥳👍🏻❤️🥳🥳👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your little girl is wonderful! God bless the children, so nice that you made a little snow pile for the kids! Nice dog too!
Didn't know why I liked this video so much and then you said you were from Minnesota. And then you said you were going to the Bears game. And then I was jealous. 56 now and still believe. A super bowl before I die. You have a new subscriber. Be well.
if i was rich i would buy you a ticket... but im not :(
"I know you're awake, what penguin?" He has returned..
Its true.. a lot of factors other that how big your hose is, do come into factor
A few decades ago, my dad and I were feeding cattle on one of those -20F North Dakota days using a JD 4020D with a Du-AL loader. A loader hydraulic hose broke. But there was no spraying of oil...rather, the oil oozed out of the broken hose like cold tar, or maybe cold tooth paste, in long strings like you would get out of a spray string can. The Du-AL loader had its own hydraulic reservoir, and my dad used to add some gasoline to the loader's hydro oil during those cold winter seasons just to get the oil thin enough for the loader to function. As far as the extra hose in the video, perhaps cut it in the middle and add a union...that would give the hose another degree of freedom to twist...and then you have a spare!
13:26 nothing beats that tool holder
our best so far was Xmas eve at windchill of -42c, had to plug in the powerstroke.
i would opt for an oil heater as well. 15w is pretty thick at those temps.
That's a lot of snow. Surprised you cleaned the hose, I used make them hoses at a hydraulics and pneumatics company and the amount of farmers that came in for new hoses and they where nasty. Full of cow poop or oil and all sorts.
Riding in the tractor with the snowblower is fun for kids in the winter.
Oh Boy! I used to live in New Ulm, What a great place, until you get out on the prairie and can't see, because of a ground blizzard. Our neighbors warmed up nicely to us after 3 years, 5 years we were best friends. Now I want to move to Arkansas where there is no winter at much. Enjoy the good Farm land up there.
My grandparents live in New Ulm and I'll be there giving a speech tomorrow!
I love doing that kind of stuff I just wish where should I had snow here in the thumb of Michigan to play in
Shouldn't JD take back the hose they improperly resized and not charge you extra for the 2nd hose? You brought them the hose for sizing, it was their job to use whatever hose and connectors they had to replicate the hose, if they failed to do that, well then they shouldn't charge you for it.
Honestly they might. I didn't have that discussion with him at the time but I might only get billed for 1 hose.
With all due respect, If you took them the hose to match it up, it's all on them to do it right. I'd only pay for it once. You're already out your time and gas, twice.
well it sounded like they didn't have the correct fittings to make it properly, so they all kind of guessed. that being a need it now deal it may not happen. he seems to be a good customer with all the green he has so they may just eat it to keep a good customer happy. I guess he will find out
Buy the OEM hose, problem solved.
C MH I'm sure he would have, had there have been one on the shelf..most hoses are made now because it's cheaper to make them and just have fittings on hand instead of hundreds of hoses. being how he didn't have a lot of time you do what you have to
Glad to hear someone went skiing with all that snow.
Those hoses can be fun for sure!! We just finished a 28' grain box with a front mount telescopic cylinder. We used 1.5" hydraulic 4 strand hose from the pump to the valve and then to the cylinder. It took everything I had to get those ends on. Great video again man, would love to see one of our grain boxes on your farm one day :)
"It's not the size that matters" lol
I knew I'd be beat to it. Lol!
Is that what the wife says? :-)
Jesse Teick thats what he said
Just casually buying a new header.. Congrats :)
Oh trust me it wasn't a casual decision!
Yep! You know thats what farmers do these days right???? I mean makes sense
@MN Millennial Farmer Oh I know, I bet you lost some sleep trying to make that decision lol.
I cleared snow today and played Super Mario....what are the odds? And I have a leaky 6200L Deere...
This is almost 4 years old now, kinda cool looking back at what has changed around the place since then
Thanks for your video. We live a little NE of you but are enjoying a winter in Mississippi 😄. I don’t miss the snow a bit yet.
You could have left the first hose outside in the cold...."Shrinkage" LOL
I wish I had thought of that!!!!
@@MillennialFarmer nothing like a nice Seinfeld reference LOL!!
@@MillennialFarmer hind sights 20/20........lol
@@protectoroffaith
Hindsight, hose; I see what you did there.. My bad, I couldn't leave that door open.
Pro tip never engage hydraulic levers with the back window open. Had a high pressure line broke with window open once. Sprayed straight up and hit the window and covered everything in the cab with oil. Including the JD tech sitting in the seat!! He spent a long time cleaning that one up
moving snow is fun.
I made a video on changing the oil in my Ferguson TO-20 last winter -- and so many things went wrong it stretched into a days long project. I feel your pain 😉😉😉
You said i tried everything u could think of to get that hose on...did u try saying "sh*t"...it doesn't usually work but makes u feel better...lol
I absolutely did!!
@@MillennialFarmer I'll bet you said more than that. 😉
He said ah geez and oh for Pete's sake
its not the size of your hose that matters hahah
SEATBELT.
Great vid! Can't wait for spring :D
I LOVE WINTER. LOVE WORKING IT, LOVE DRIVING IN IT, BEING IN IT. It's been over a week man, long time. lol
That hose is thicc...lol
Hayden Pahl whoa there
That’s what she said! Lol
Oh man I had a good laugh @18:10 when you said people die at minus 20F. Where I live we get -35F with wind on the regular and I still have to work lol
Yeah and it would be weird if you died becausae you broke down with your snowblower in your own yard
Yeah a little faux pas there. Driving to the hockey game much more risky than breaking down in the yard.
Hope you have survival stashes in all your equipment.... stuff happens and it may not be just brown!!
Yep guys from Florida got drunk here in Michigan this past weekend. It dropped to -5 and they stopped there car in a field to sleep. One died the other was close before they found them.
I'm not a farmer, but I so feel your JD pain.
I rent a friend's familial home, maintaining it after his dad died. there are about 5 acres of land that needs to be managed.
It came with a 1986 JD 300 lawn tractor..poorly maintained to boot..
In ten years i have spent over 200 hours working on the dang thing.
We have a saying.. "Nuthin' stops runnin' like a Deere.."
thanks for all youns do!
CLEARLY your definition of 'not doing anything all day'' and MY definition of 'not doing anything all day' are COMPLETELY different.
8:30 missed a chance for a Tommy Boy, “she’s a quart low”
"Its not the size that matters"~Zach talking about hoses 2019 lol
All guys with small hoses say that! Lol
Technically 2018
Dam hydraulic lines....very typical rendition of a fix....usually the dealer says "we need the old one to match to be perfect"....NOT!
Loved the Mario music. Great video! 👍
Happy New Year! Jim.
Glad you and your family are safe up there . Sorry about your broken hose . I got the 3 remotes on my 4440 fixed last week ( they were leaking bad ) . $800 , new seals and dust covers , it could have been worse. Thanks for your videos 👍🏻😀
Cool video and good to see ya.
Can go $15 for the longer hose, but need a new Midwest Equipment Jacket too. Size XL.
You are fixing problems, so the day was not a complete waste. It just feels that way. Enjoy your family.
As always....great video!!
I have watched all of your videos and at first I didn’t really like this channel but the more I watch it, I love your channel more.
I always love them dealerships, spend 1/2 - 3/4 of a million dollars and get a 5 dollar hat and 40 dollar coat.
finally a new vid!!
any news on the fs 19 map?
Emails are flowing! It's a process!
Wait theres gonna be a fs19 map on this farm?
@@frenchfry_flip9031 yes
@@bnsfbandit9807 No shit!! I'm buying 19 right now!!!
I'm PLAYING fs 19 now
Love the channel so much you inspired me to start my own keep up the awesome videos and stay warm till spring!!!!!!’ Thanks for all you have shared
Great update thx!! I m excited for the new draper header! You must be too at least you were when you tested it during harverst.
I know its stupid to compare but I had to smile at your snow problems when we have up to 7 Meters (23 ft) of snow here in Austria. There are actually helicopters trying to blow fresh fallen snow off of the trees along the high ways so they won't break and block everything.
Crazy here.
I always hated blowing snow as well!!! Waste of fuel and time.
don stefanik I wish my garden tractor had a cab😰
Yeh; That's why I would get in my c10/actually K10 and start plowing. Or put my 8 foot fisher on the bucket of my Case 870 and get her done.
Seems very energy consuming. Everybody around here plows, and many farmers have plows for their trucks and tractors to do contract work over the winter while you can’t do anything with your fields.
8:05 in this section there is so many that’s what she said moments
We got a wet snow and rain a couple weeks ago here in Isanti, MN. Right now most driveways are like a skating rink. No sun, no warm weather to even try to melt it..
youre so good to your kids! hope to be a good father like you when i have my own kids
Ask Deere to get better on access to hoses for maintenance
Don't be misconstrued. The size of the hose DOES matter.
Just ask any woman that knows how to tell the truth. LMFAO
The rest of 'em are only around for mechanical work or cash flow.
The women, I mean.
The tractors could care less. They're always loyal and dedicated to work.
She is adorable
Used to work for a hydraulics company in the uk so know the frustrations ... especially when the crimper doesn't wana play ball 🙄 love your vid ... would love to have you job .... jealous much ... thanks for everything you do 🔥💪
You need a snow plow on the front of one of those big tractors. So much faster and will push more than you think.
The tracks might be an issue. It would have to be on the 8260
@@MillennialFarmer you would love it. It's is snowing here in Virginia also. I have been using mine today to plow driveways and paths to unroll hay for beef cows.
Degelman makes a nice loader mounted snow pusher and what's nice about them is if you start having traction problems in deeper snow you can curl The Pusher back and pick up on it some and you will actually be in a weight lifting the snow which will put traction on your front end and you'll be able to push a lot I would put a strong recommendation on getting a snow pusher
Send the snow down towards the cities so I can rip my sled
You are so good
No he is not
It's nice to see you again Zac!
That's one of the things that I DON"T miss about Mn.
