With everything that you guys have going on in your world, it shows how strong of a family bond you have and how strong your faith is. You couldn't do it without either one of those. Blessings to you and your family!
I would love to hear your father talk about what it was like living out on the farm 60 years ago! Who was your neighbors and getting supplies etc!
Every day I see Cody is a good day. Every day my little girl dog is still here is yet another good day.
@6:25 the doggo in the bed enjoying the breeze! :D
I wish we could bottle your families attitude and faith! The world is a better place with folks like you. Well done so far now we will all keep our fingers crossed for rain this year. Blessings to all of you.
I want ti thank all of the farmers for feeding our nation and the world.
God Bless and thanks for flying the colors our flag .
Your drone footage is always awesome.
I agree I always love your drone footage
Thanks EDUB, Dan, and Eric!
Absolutely!
yes it is
Definitely, it feels like a staple of Welker videos
The thing that always sets your videos apart is the incredible drone footage perfectly matched to the music!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely loved that 10,000 foot view
@@WelkerFarms I agree. You guys have improved so much. I had a really hard time watching your videos early on with all the jump cuts. Now they are top notch. 👍
@@duggydo idk....the new style is like so many others now. I enjoyed them more when they were longer length and jumping from one thing to the next. But..Ill keep watching lol
@@CrewGuyPJ by jumps cut, I mean when they had an editor that cut out fractions of a second while they were talking all the time. It wasn’t smooth, normal talking. It was cheap, bad editing and hard to watch. Much better now.
Prayers to Welker Farms.
I love watching your videos.
Real men still doing real work.
Thanks for keeping our country going.
Growing up on a farm I know what you are feeling. My heart goes out to all of the farmers. The wheat in my part of NE CO is only boot high
Dried up due to lack of moisture. Fuel prices and fertilizer is a big worry. I have always said farmers are the biggest gamblers in the world but also have the biggest faith in God. Prayers for to you for a good crop.
Farming not just about the economics , it’s that indomitable spirit it takes to keep putting a crop in the ground and praying it will mature to harvest .
“Content” ! Love the wit and wisdom of Bob, even in a moment of crisis. Hoping that you can eek out an okay season.
Indeed, soo funny!
Over the years had 2 truck diesel engines burn antifreeze. Both cases was a hairline crack in the injector cup allowing antifreeze to enter with the fuel and creates some interesting colors on the top of the piston. Put new cups in and successfully took away the problem.
I pray that Our Lord will watch over your family and your land and provide what is needed. We are living in some Interesting times and all we really have is faith in our Almighty. God Bless You All.
Hope and praying you get the rain you need. Would love to see some more history of the farm and area from Mr. Welker (Bob) if he would like to. Seems like Scott knows what he has ahead of him on the 600, I hope it is easier but sounds like it will be a rebuild. Stay safe and healthy.
Your family is the gold standard for farming....wishing you the very best & God willing the weather will help out.
I am going to put you guys on our prayer list at my church in NC. We will ask God to give all of the farmers in your region and the plains states for a great growing season and for rain. Keep the faith brothers.
Thank you
Bob, your experience had showed when you stopped the Big Bud, I think you will find there's a fine hair crack in the cylinder head, its slowly leaking into the cylinder head, I think it will be OK until you finish seeding, then as Scott said needs to be checked, the heads have to come off, a new rebuild will fix it, you fellows are very good at fixing just about every thing, so it wont be long & you will have it up & going again, I believe you will have a wonderful harvest this season,so don't worry, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
Cummins needs to sponsor you guys and get you a new engine. The videos could say In partnership with Case IH and Powered by Cummins.
10:01
To paraphrase Tony Fast 's words
You guys have farmed hard.
Now let us pray harder
Thank you Bob for being a strong grounded man in these troubling times, and thank you more for raising a strong grounded family to show others what to strive for. The humbleness and perseverance you all show in these adverse times is inspiring. I hope the best for you and your family. Here's hoping you guys get some moisture soon.
Thanks Alex
Cummins KTA 600 . Before you tear down the upper end of that engine looking for the internal coolant leak , check the aftercooler assembly in the intake housing. I’ve had several over the years that developed a leak in the tubes of that aftercooler. The coolant leaks into the intake air and gets burned up in combustion.
I’ve yet in my career to see a blown head gasket that doesn’t pressurize the cooling system. Best of luck on the search for the leak.
Your comment about seed treatment working made the thought come up that it won’t matter if you don’t get any rain.
Kobe guards his Tractor when Dad’s out tending to the hoppers 😏❤️ God Bless him!😌❤️🇺🇸
Had to smile at the rocket in the field. My boys have “lost” plenty of those rockets when the wind carries them away.
ole colby hanging in riding in the bed of the pickup...appears as if he is enjoying himself lol
Per the radar, it looks like y'all got some much needed rain on 6/3/2022. If so, prayers answered. Thank you all for working so hard to feed so many.
I remember those dry years for my grandparents on the farm, and they were really tough. During WW2 my grandfather grew potatoes and paid of the farm by the end of the war. After that he spent the rest of his life farming only to borrow money against the farm and hoping he could pay it back. You farm for the love of farming, there is no better life, just no guarantees for a good crop. God Bless and God Bless America!
Thanks for sharing your frustration and determination. Farmers are the best they put up with allot and expect very little.
Prayers you get the moisture you need for the crop you have in👍🏻🇺🇸🚜👍🏻🇺🇸🚜God Bless and Stay Safe
One thing you guys have is such strong Faith. Never give up and God will have better things planned for you down the road. That is something one of you said in an earlier video now I am using it all the time and reembracing it with you. I know you guys won't give up because farmers are strong and good people have God on their side.
Pray you get the rain you will need to have a awesome crop.. Keep the faith. Understand why you want to cut back on planting but I have faith it will all come out great for you all.. Hope the big bud is going to be fixed without to much cost to you all.. God Bless you all.
Take note of Coby thoroughly enjoying himself in the back of the pickup - 6:28
Appreciate your guys effort and attitude.
Positive vibes being sent your way.
Have you thought of installing Irrigation? Here in West Central Ohio, we are not actually a dry area but more and more farmers are installing Irrigation to increase yield and to protect crops in a dry year. No matter what you do, I wish you the Best! I enjoy all your videos, Thanks!
No available irrigation or ground water...... zero
If I could send some of the extra rain from here to you, I would. I will continue to pray that things work out for you. Stay safe and God bless.
I'm with you on that, here in the North 55.75°N it went from snow to rain, with next to no letup.We (our small city) are high up the hill, so now worries of flooding like the South has.
Best wishes all.
Man feel for you, we have had 2.3meters of rain in my location since January 1st where the average is around 1meter in a good year. Stay safe from down under!
Another potential area to look for coolant consumption is the intercooler. Pull it back off the heads and you should be able to see some staining or wet areas if it is the culprit. Good luck with the crops! We sure to need to break this drought cycle here in the western states.
I grew up on a small farm in the 1950s & 60s. It was always a crap shoot with the weather, pests & disease. Some years were good, some were bad. Hopefully you guys can turn this around and have a great year!
Wishing y’all the best, love seeing those bigger seed bars at work. Great to see your positive attitudes in the face of hardship.
God has blessed your planting season. From the PNW here praying to send you some of our rain. Some of our locales have such an over abundance of moisture. Let’s ask for God to send you what rain you might need.
It just feels good to grease machinery! Like it’s fresh and ready to run!
WE'll pray for the continued strength of your entire family and will be praying for the rain you desperately need for the entire area.
Being a farmer myself. A central Indiana farmer. Have never had the problems that your part of the US is or has facet. All we can do is trust in our Lord and let him be our guide. Thank You and your Family for all you have shared with us through your videos.
Thanks Again
Oh guys....Jeez. I can't say anything that will make things better, but I will say that I so admire your spirit. Your pragmatism.
I know God looks kindly upon you, and you will prevail over the menaces that face you; He has already planted the seed of knowledge in you that allows you to plan - not to "fail", but to succeed and overcome the forces against you, so you can continue to feed the Nation.
I watch the terrible things Zach Johnson and the Larsons are also dealing with.....and I just hope you can all beat these bad times.
Somehow.......I think you will. And you will come out stronger for it.
God bless you all.
May your KTA 19 live forever.lol I pray for rain for you guys.
i know a person that had a tractor with this issue, they replaced the cap, turns out someone solder the radiator and used the wrong soldering, I didn't know there was a wrong solder but told tractors need a heaver solder, told if you use a cheap knock off solder, it can lift the head gaskets and make a leak, didn't even know that was a thing, told you have to replace the gasket and fix the radiator.
If coolant consumption is a known issue and the unit has to run it would be best to dump the antifreeze and run straight water. Antifreeze in anything but the coolant passages is a bad situation.
The situation here in east central ND went from extreme drought last summer to a potential preventive plant situation due to spring flooding this season so don't put too much stock in "long range forecasts". If the acres aren't planted it's guaranteed crop failure.
Once had a gas engine lose head gasket between water jacket and a cylinder. By the time we could get to a shop it was going 40 miles between radiator fills. But it never got into the oil, just out the exhaust. ONE cylinder definitely had all the carbon cleaned out. Tiny leak, but the effect was obvious.
That's what I was thinking his problem was when I read the title of the vid before I clicked
Yeah havent watched the video yet but i think my car has the same problem that u described... White smoke out of the exhaust (water if shes not warm yet) and coolant is dissapearing (although i need to do a bit more research before i can confirm its actually that)
Here in manitoba canada most farmers haven't even started seed cause Most fields look like giant lakes it's been the wettest spring on record
You Welkers, be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ. May your planting efforts be rewarded. We all have a vested interest in your success this year.
As Tony Fast says, farm hard,Pray harder.!
One farmers pain is another farmers success. El Niño for you in the north, La Niña for us down in the south. There has been to much rain for Eastern Australia recently. I'm no weather expert but I assume that when we have El Niño in Australia the tables are turned and it means good rain for you.
You are not wrong about how it feels to go through drought and that it's hard to put into words. Australia experienced one of the worst droughts ever from 2017-19. Just remember, every action has an equal reaction. We are proof of that here with 3 unbelievably wet years after 3 unbelievably dry years. The tables will once again turn!
All the best Welkers 👍
I would definitely pressure test the cooling system, also check the oil cooler first before you start pulling heads!
Cooler problems usually is oil in the water oil pressure is higher than water pressure
The old Cummins when they "dropped a liner" would go for a few weeks on Liebherr Excavators, you don't get water in the oil right away but there will be some whiteish smoke on startup and eventually you will have to loosen the radiator cap in order to run it. As the liner drops the head gasket goes, it was only one cylinder on the old NT-280's that usually went. If you don't crack the radiator cap you'll find out how good the heater core is in time and your hoses.
When I used to drive concrete trucks we had a thing called a grease Bank and I was just series have grease zerks that you could Grease the whole truck at that one location very fast. Take care and God bless
I shared this video to some of my es steamed friends. They Barley could not believe it, praying for rain for you guys. God bless!
I'll take that with a grain of salt.....😊
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob 👍🏾👍🏾
Pulling for you guys to get the rain you need, you deserve it after last year.
I cant imagine the time you put in to make these videos, time you all dont have, thank you. Me, and my family thoroughly enjoy them, thank you and god bless!
Positive thoughts hope you get better weather and some good rain soon.
Could be a head gasket. At least its not leaking into the oil or trans. That would be bad since the water & oil creates an acid that then circulates throughout that system ruining any soft bearings & bushings. Best of luck with that & the rains. Have been praying for all farmers presently with the horrible issues that are in front of you all. I heard that fertilizer is not only super expensive but also the railroad is not shipping any from the gulf area producers outward. I must say that I do reallly miss the view from the Hills area. Be blessed.
Thanks so much for sharing. Will pray for rain to come upon your farm.
Your mood matches the rest of the country, just a quiet resignation of continued bad news. All things pass we just endure. Pray for rain.
I pray that y’all be able to have a good crop this year that God will provide the rain at the right times Nick and Leg Arms. Farming is definitely not for everyone and I appreciate all of the farmers who take risks to grow crops and raise animals.
gotta suck to be in the position you are in this yr. knowing crop prices are going to be up, yet having to weigh the extreme fuel costs, and fertilizer costs, pesticide/herbicide costs, parts costs and unavailability, and of course the weather! I really don't know how you do it? Much respect to your family! I worked a small family dairy farm as a kid, the absolute best and hardest work i have ever done in my life. But sadly the smaller farms just cant survive anymore. love watching all of you out there as a family grinding away and getting it done! Keep up the good work and best of luck to you and your whole family through these trying times!
Praying it doesnt drought for you! Always satisfying seeing that air filter cleaned. God bless
Hey guys. Its probably not a good idea to keep running an engine the is ingesting anti freeze into a cylinder. The heat causes a varnish like substance that can ruin pistons, rings and cause scoring on the walls of the cylinder. You’d be better running pure water until you can get time to fix it. Sorry about the bad outlook for the year. Some of my family farmed in Saskatchewan and faced similar years.
Thanks for another great video Welkers.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
The drone footage was as always just great. Beautiful reminder of farming in America.
Thanks for the drone footage.
Sorry to hear about the big bud 600. I am not a top notch mechanic but my guess is some how some way antifreeze is getting by the head gasket.
My guess is you should pull the heads and see what has happened. Might be the head gaskets. Have they been apart lately??????
Sorry about this. That is machinery for you.
Hang in there!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about a possible drought in your area. Wow.
I agree with you to cut back on seeding. No sense putting seed in the dry ground if it will not have the moisture to grow.
Just smart to cut back. Agree with your decision no matter how hard that is to do. Hang in there Welkers.
Keep us posted on the 600 big bud motor.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.

It is absolutely crazy that you guy's only being 7 hours North East from me and no rain. We are growing moss on our bodies from so much rain here in Idaho. We get one nice decent day and then 3 to 5 day's of rain. I am 40 years old and I nor my great uncle and Grandfather can ever remember the weather like this. The rolling his of the Palouse are beautiful but we are starting to become the state of 10 thousand lakes. Lots of ground that had been planted washed away or is now drowning. We will be praying that you and your family will hopefully get some of this rain.
Leg arms: “ok what happened?”
Dad: “CONTENT!!!”
😂😂😂
If I could I'd send y'all the rain we've been getting here in Kansas. A lot of flooding here right now.
For the "sick" Bud, I'd much rather work on it compared to today's equipment. The Big Buds are so simple and easy to work on besides their size. Even if what you're saying about the cap, honestly, it still shouldn't be building that much pressure. You're right though, you still need to look at the heads.
I farm in Eastern Colorado I feel your pain. I'm not as big but it all hurts. Like a neighbor told me if it ain't in the ground it won't grow. Wish you guys all tge luck and I'll pray for rain
Prayers for you guys and rain 🙏
What a beautiful shot at minute 1:09.
When we had a bad drought in 2019 we only sowed a couple hundred acres and stopped, never harvested a thing. Yes when there is a problem with the coolant we always back off the radiator cap so you can keep going a bit longer.
Well You need to do what you have to do. You just can’t plant seed and not get a return on it. I realize that it is farming, you are risking enough the way it is. Hopefully the big bud is not hurt to bad. Good luck stay safe
I feel for you. My parents had a below average crop last year in Oregon and they have been wetter than normal this spring and it’s looking good now. Of course that can change too.
watchout for the gasket blowing into the cylinders and then the engine locking up die to the coolant on top of pistons
Prayers for rain for you guys👍👍👍
Cobby lovin life in back of the pickup
From what Robert said, it sounds like the 600 has a head gasket issue..its pushing the coolant out the exhaust. When the coolant level drops too low, the temp sensor has nothing to read so the gauge wont work. Even tho its not pressurizing the crankcase and the coolant isnt ending up in the pan, If theres anymore work to be done with the 600 before its pulled apart, use water only. Thats one of the few things Ive learned in 40+ years working on race cars ;) Fingers crossed its a "simple" and inexpensive fix for yall!!
The farmers mantra “it will be better next year”. Lot of tough choices if we had the answers we wouldn’t have to work so hard
Same here west aust no rain yet tropical stuff a month ago our southern fronts haven't got here yet see what come in 2 weeks not lookin good
5 things from my past experience ; coolant gauge quits reading when no coolant on sensor/bulb . and #2 , Kt19 famous for popping head gaskets . your ideas of oil levels , excellent . now does it have an intercooler??? that could eat some if coolant pressure over boost pressure .
a 4th ; IF head or sleeve bad in large way , it will vaporize coolant and blow out in steam . and IF at right place ; i have seen 2 instances where a sleeve pinhole will EAT coolant and then piston STOP with rings over the pin hole ......
just some idears
I’ve been part of the WELKER EXPERIENCE for a few years now makes the older video really cool LORE LOL
That's rough.. Engine problems are never nice!! Here's hoping it becomes an easy fix. Yeah, I'm a dreamer!!
I'm so sorry the dry fields and no rain keeps on and on. I went thru that in the 80s. It wasn't as bad as you have had it, but 88 and 89 and 80 were the killers for so many and high interest rates. I pray that things get better for you guys. Good luck
Thats a major setback on that machine guys. Pulling the head off, new gasgets. Can you make some overflow on that coolant system, with a return, so the presure can get out, and the coolant flows back in the system? God bless to all. Harry
I feel your pain with the drought. I've seen more droughts than I care to remember myself. The irony is that when the Pacific Ocean gives us a drought in Australia you have it good and vice versa.
Be thankful that you have insurance and some form of subsidies however small because here we have zero help and when it goes bad it's no one else's problem but your own. And when it goes bad it's not just a little bit bad.
I've learnt that droughts come and they eventually go.
Man, I can't imagine going through last year and this without insurance or federal aid. I don't see how farmers could make it - there are too many uncontrollable, devastating variables.
Australian farmers are in a different situation as most of us buy our own land . That means we can farm the production and also use our capital investment as leverage. 70% of Australian ag production is sold for export so subsidized food production is pointless.
Because we aren't subsidized our land prices are somewhat related to reliability of seasons and gross dollars of output per HA.
When I was young I was somewhat jealous of subsidized nations but now I realize we are the lucky ones.
Professional videoing, editing and music. Great! Thanks.
Gods speed with the Big Bud.
Nice music to go with the drone shots. May God bless
I pray you get plenty of rain and a bumper crop. Love your videos.
Tough choices. The general public has no idea as to the make or break decisions that farmers make every day. Prayers.
Haha Bob. What happened? Content 😂😂😂 had me in stitches
Scott, that makes sense on the BB... but hey... thats farming... fix one problem... find 2 more..LOL
Hope you guys have a great planting season. God Bless.
I wish you would be blessed with so much rain. I live in South Eastern Colorado. And we are pretty dry here. As a grain hauler I wonder how far we will have to haul in the coming year. God Bless you all. Always love your videos.
The big question is, "When does a person say enough is enough for throwing money in the form of chemicals, fertilizer, seed, and fuel etc. to plant a field when it is so dry?" It is a tough call. 🤔
AND don't forget either annual rent or interest payments on a mortgage on top as well!
It is like when we farmed. Seed 2/3 , summer follow 1/3. ( we quit in 1983 in Saskatchewan)
The way you guys can take disappointment is inspirational to me , the way you conduct yourselves is awesome 👌
It's good to see someone else that likes to still use a regular hand pump grease gun. They work fine and aren't as heavy and bulky as the electric ones.
