I Can't Believe Dad DESTROYED It...

- Day 2 of planting with the new John Deere 1775NT Exact Emerge planter with the Exact Shot fertilizer system on it. Dad ran into something with the tractor steps and bent the living heck out of them. No big deal, but hey, it made a fun video title!? Anyone else agree?! Is anybody listening to me in the description?! Anyway, the fields were still a bit damp, so we went with a slow start. Did some tillage, some rock picking, etc. All in good fun! So far, the planter has been working GREAT!

You don’t need a metal detector to find a tillage shank in a field. A combine will find it for you.
Or the planter😂
The expensive option!
@@dayneroman9162 ZK Mastertech had a Deere combine found one. The repairs he did were unreal.
Round air filled rubber things seem to find them too.
A huge magnet finds a shank FAR LESS DESTRUCTIVELY. 😊THAN A combine. 9:10
"He will handle it better than most adults" thats a proud father right there!
Look up les't have a conversation.
What struck me was the conversation you and your dad were having as you were working on the planter adjustments. He mentioned that he hoped Onyx was doing okay with tillage and you commented that if anything happened he would handle it better than most adults to which your dad immediately agreed. Seems like Onyx has really earned the respect of you and your dad when it comes to taking responsibility for the operation of some very expensive equipment.
Country kids are just expected to handle it mate, and they do. You are thrown in when your parent(s) know your ready, even if you don't feel ready.
The biggest mistake I made in life was moving from the farm to the city.
He does well!
Just be curious on the yield good theory but was it short
And when I was a kid put on a tractor there were no cell phones. So if something broke or you screwed up you were walking back to the farm.
When you talked about fuel coming i had a wry smile, i recall the time when our farm ran out of diesel. Four tractors were waiting to fill up before we could go muck spreading miles away. The fuel came, we filled up and went. We got to the field and shortly after every tractor came to a stop with fuel issues, one after another over about twenty minutes.yes you are right, all the muck and sediment in the tank on the farm went into suspension and then went into the tractor fuel tank. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. This was about thirty years ago, we had steel holding tanks on the farm then.
That lighting package on that planter is the bee's knees.
I agree, and Zach's right the lights from the tractor get washed out from the dust flying around in the air.
It's pretty awesome!
You sound lucky to have a dad so kind and patient. He sounds like a good man.
Zac's dad is great. A real man who looks after his family. It's a real treat when he's on the show.
He is!
Can’t agree more with this, your dad seems like an amazing man you are very lucky to have such a great working relationship!
Yeah don't take it for granted he won't be around forever. Always sound so snappy with him. Just remember one day that will be onyx with you hahaha
16:00 Dont know if you noticed, but when Onyx told you new information, you said "oh okay" in the same exact way your dad does when you tell him new information.
business and work communication does that... I can tell any worker on earth to take a 10 minute break with my hands from 200 feet away. we just slide into a uniform communication pattern
that Oh Okay isnt just acknowledging the issue its "Oh i understand what you are dealing with".
"Oh" is probably one of the most used words in that part of the country.
It's a staple of basic communication here in MN. You can say a whole paragraph to someone who knows you with just those 2 words
Guys, I was really trying to say that Zack uses the same exact intonation like his dad. That if you closed your eyes, you couldnt tell which one it is. Thats all.
Riding the school bus home, watching Millennial Farmer, while wearing his merch 😎
This is the only channel that I will and do like every video. I can’t wait for the next one. Best channel in my personal opinion!!
Thank you for the support!!
I watch these videos and Larson Farms like them both
That fertilizer system is amazing. Technology is progressing so fast.
It's extremely impressive
@@MillennialFarmer have yield tests been done??? Because I would have thought corn roots would follow the rows and get all that fertilizer that you normally put on…..
Finally a RUclipsr that explained the technology associated with John Deere planting systems in common sense layman’s terms that makes sense thank you
3 Generations planting, what a privilege. Johnson Prowdness. Great to watch, enjoy planting.
What a difference a year makes and a new planter. So many problems in the past few years and now you seem a 1000% happier. Good for you. 👍
Amazing that a planter that costs $200k is junk. And you need to spend another $300k to not have as many problems. The amount of money is mind boggling to me. And yes I’m in business and I’m still mumbling to myself about what stuff costs.
@@jandygTo be fair it was wrecked by the storm
@@RickyBritt-ms5ws I had forgotten about that and didn’t realize it was damaged that much.
Hope Didge is doing ok.
Just so Kristi Noem doesn't get too close.
She's running around the farm again!
Your product is wonderful! I love how everyone is treated with dignity and respect, you do that without pushing some undertone wacky religious or political message! Keep up the great work, we get to truly witnessing the American dream! Thank you Johnson family!
I have a life as a retired ole man. hahaha I get to watch everyone working hard so I can keep getting my Social Seciruty. I appreciate everything you and your family do. Love watching you guys.
After watching you fight planters the last several years it is so good to see your planter working correctly from day one.
Your father appears to be very easygoing, kind and considerate. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
I think he might have been to raise Zach lol
I wish I could send Didge a care package. I love seeing your furry girls in the beginning of the videos. 🥰
She's doing well!
@@MillennialFarmerLOVE to hear that. 🎉
But why didn’t you leave the plastic on the floormat and put it on the shelf. Carpet doesn’t belong in a pickup much less a tractor. 😮
Thank You for your Humor 👍
17:08 - sleeping in the Tractor with your mouth open..
* Appreciate your videos and your Humor. 👍
Zach and his Dad make a great team 🚜🚜👍
Anna seems lost without Dige, they both looked happy when she came out on the leash! The new planter is amazing, wish I could see it in action! Thanks for taking us along Zach!
Dear old dad is looking pretty healthy and fit. Good stuff!
I love the duality of talking about fully automated planting, then next sence the markers on the planter come out. All you need now is a peace sign button and born to farm on your hat.
Another example of farming being a family affair!! That fertilizer technology is amazing!!
Great video. Hope Didge is okay.
Can you update us on Didge soon… she’s part of the group and we need her. Thank you Zach for all your hard work😊
Really cool seeing farmers like you get excited over all the new technology that we are learning about in school about how to use and fix.
Thanks for sharing! That change to just spray within two inches of the seed is amazing. Technology seems to be changing at a faster and faster rate.
That planter and your explanation of how it runs is amazing
I always stick around until the very end, because I know that your wife and yourself like to leave a nice closing in each video. And because I don't have a life... Well, I do, but right now is time off.
Cheers from Sevilla, Spain!!
Fascinating content thanks for taking us along!
Not sure how many times I lol on this one, but it was a lot! Good luck with planting 2024!
Awesome setup tractor and planter! Love the lighting options lol.
It sure is good to see you running so well. Have a safe planting season!
That fertilizer system is the greatest thing that I have ever heard. Modern science and all that they help out. Good for you for sharing this with the American Farmer.
The relationship between you and your dad is fantastic. I see it being passed on between you and your son. Great video.
ONYX is really growing up. You can sense the excitement in Granpa's voice. NATE is really proud.of his grandson
that fertiliser system is very cool,will be interesting to see if is stops the weeds growing as much too. hope you have a great season. will be watching
I appreciate you Zach, for continuing your sharing of the videos! Have a good spring planting season of 2024
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for your efforts, be well, be safe!
Good to see your father back He looks well Where does he spend the winter. Nice to see you guys planting I pray you have a very good year be safe.
I think he spends his winters in Arizona
To a semi-city boy (live in the country, but don't farm), the technology on tractors & equipment these days is amazing!
Half of us hate it..The other half just hate it half the time..True story.
Absolutely fricking amazing! And its even all working! After the grief and frustration following the storm damage with your old planter, this has got to be a treat! Happy for you!
Nice to see your son helping you farm this year I pray you have a great year
I have commented about your channel in the past and admit some of it was a bit disingenuous but on the points on the environment and money saved your way ahead of the game. Truly a man outstanding in his field. Well done excellent content and commitment Zac, Dad and Onyx.
He just shut off "Mr. Brightside"! I am offended deeply sir 😂😂
Great American video... family and hard work is truly great to watch.
Thanks for the education on how your equipment works. 👍👍
Hope didge makes a speedy recovery 🙏
Oh Snap your getting a Martin 2.0 the Larson’s will be proud of you. 😂
Great video, Zack! Love watching you and Dad working to teach Onyx how to do things. Brings back fond memories of me and my Uncle Ralph in NE Indiana. Thanks again!
Like the new lighting on the planters Looks great
Hope Digd will recover ok and playing with Ana again
Nate’s response to not know what happened sounds like a teenagers response!! Humorous!!
Thank you for showing off new technology and it's practical and economic impact on your farm. And thank you for sharing your life with us. J.Au-en
Dude I love ur videos. been watching them for years. God bless you and your family...
Give Weather Tech a call and get them to make a custom mat for your tractor. Until then, shoes at the door.
There is a company called Tractor Mats that makes a Weather Tech style floor liner for John Deere and Case IH tractors.
Yes, I read your description and the video title had me guessing. Glad you are getting seeds in the ground. Hope the weather cooperates.
I was curious to see who reads it! 😂
Awesome video Zack. Great job Guys. thank you
Great video ZACK thanks for the seeder explanation.
It’s very interesting to hear about the new ways fertilizer is being applied and only needing 1/3rd needed to grow the same crops, but my biggest fear to that is once farmers start using 1/3rd needed the fert. Company’s are going to triple their prices if not quadruple the price, making all farmers upgrade to all new equipment or they are going to pack it in and either rent their land out or sell it all together
Not a farmer, but fertilizer prices have gone ballistic. they can't keep going up - can they?
@@hawks2252 yes
exactly what will happen!
@@hawks2252blame Putin
Most of it came from Russia
The ugly issue with fertilizer is the runoff entering streams and causing algae and plant blooms choking those bodies off.
Reducing your fertilizer usage by 66% will help control that issue
6:39 the previous owner had a smart idea to keep the carpet clean, he left the plastic on 😁
Totally impressed with that planter. And the best part is you weren't having to troubleshoot it like in the past. Very cool.
I appreciate the information on how the planter works and the dosage of fertilizer. The autonomous aspect of the tractor and planter is a real efficient aspect of today's farming. Contrast that approach with using a two row planter with only a drop feature common in the 1950s. I watch your farming practices to learn the new tools and processes. Farming today is intriguing to me. Thanks for the video and the narrative.
I can send you some wooden cloggs from where I live, the Netherlands. When you enter the tractor, you can put them in the corner very easily and keep the floor clean on the inside of the tractor.👍
Wow those lights on the planter are great, I wonder what they look like from a drone ? Great video, thanks to you and Becky. 🌹🌹
Good question!! I might need to send one up!
I enjoyed your discussion on how fertilizer is metered. Farming is all about managing the inputs.
Only spraying each seed is brilliant! Actually truly genious!
Nice to have a planter you don't need to stop and fix every 50 acres lol.
Give it time, the season is young
One tequila, Two tequila, Three Tequila, Floor 6:07 Counting Lessons 🎉 6:44
When Zach tapped on the tractor's toilet door, I was half expecting him to say 'Checking the air pressure in the Tracks' 🤣🤣🤣
What a privilege it is to have your father farming with you. It is wonderful to see, enjoy it!
50 acres an hour planting. Our great grandfather's would have loved that. 50 acres would be a couple days work
Get the bigger rugs that you use in the bathroom and put it in the cab of your tractor that way you can just shake it out when it gets dirty. Plus it is absolutely great on keeping your legs from getting tired. You'll love it.
that a nice planter I like the way it lights up so well jim b helping u guys this spring
Looking good for planting season hope for a safe growing season
Yes, I read the description. Here's your RUclips algorithm booster comment of the day.
And seriously, "Don't ask Randy on a straight tequila night" 🎶🎶🤘😝🤘
Lol 😂😂😂😂 the silent competition is legit!!
What a great feeling it must be when everything is working the way it should
Glad to see the new planter is working out so well!
Already customizing the steps I see.
yah, yah, customized em, thats the ticket. I can't believe I remember that stupid skit.
My life is called "retired", thanks for the entertainment 😂.
good for you, enjoy sir - maybe someday I'll get there - haha.
I just got there about 5 years sooner then I planned.
I retired last October, got so much to do, might half to start farming again to relax.
I love watching your content. I learn so much about your process.
35 years ago, at 23, I started putting together the new JD equipment being brought in at the local dealership. So awesome to see where we are at!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

Is Onyx now replacing Jim??? We need to see Jim getting stuck!!😊
Thanks Zach
The latest and the greatest. Wow that’s awesome nice. You explain things that even a trucker can understand. ❤️🙏🍺
woo new video
Unfolding the planter is almost as exciting as Brian Brown's "Poo-werrr ladder..." So Onyx is doing driver Ed... I bet it would be like when my sister did behind the wheel driver ed in high school. The instructor lived across the road from one of our fields, her first day out, he said, I know you can drive, I have seen you driving the tractor and the truck around the field.
let's go into town and pick up my dry cleaning..."
Myself and my brothers worked on a farm and were driving at 12 or so. The farmer gave us the keys to the farm truck and said - go grab them crates or whatever back at the shop - we of course would say ok and figure out how to drive. When we had to do drivers ed we paralell park perfect on the first day, etc. Then he had us doing errands as well for the rest of the mandatory time - haha.
You have a wonderful family I like all your videos keep up the good work on the farm
There are so many people like me who would enjoy changing all those carriers. Here comes pops, doing something with dad would be awesome, too. These videos carry much.
I thought owning Milwaukee tools was a cult
I think so - haha. whatever brand you choose to go with, they got ya roped in with the batteries. I went with Milwaukee 18 system and you really have no choice but to stick with M18 tools. Brother went with Dewalt D18 system and every new tool has to fit the D18 batteries. They got us - darn it.
@@hawks2252 I like the M12 system better than any dewalt tool.
@@michaelbastien958 I like the Dewalt small impact driver and circular saw a little better than my milwaukee, everything else I like the milwaukee. I like mikita saws as well. Funny, if there is an outlet available, the old Skill metal housing worm drive comes out (heavy bugger, but cuts like butter) , still my favorite, don't make em like they used to - haha. Pretty much any corded circular saw I prefer to use if I can. Batteries tools are nice though. It doesn't matter - it comes down to the sledge hammer - ahh - let the finish carpenters fix that - haha.
Answer: If I had a life I wouldn't be sitting here watching you plant ethanol corn.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see your cohost is doing well, kinda thought Anna was looking a little lonely in the past few videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
Right now my life is watching you plant. In a few months my life will be watching you harvest. Life does not get any better than that for a city slicker!!!
Love your channel Zack love big equipment thanks for the video
That is one intelligent planter. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It is absolutely phenomenal the technological changes in the agriculture industry from when I worked a 5,000 acre farm in the late 60s, early 70s.
Hello this is impressive, planter works great. Awesome You your Dad and Son. Enjoyed your video sir have a great day.
