Reminded me of growing up when my Dad was a custom Farmer. In 1970 he bought a new GMC 1 Ton cab and chassis dually. He built a steel bed on it with welder, gas torches, full set of Tools, Tire tools, mechanical parts bins, vice and press machines. He chopped 200000 tons of corn silage each year and could completely rebuild a John Deere Chopper (38 model)off the truck. Quite the memories
Service trucks are usually overlooked until a farmer puts in a call. Then they spring into action. After all, time is money. As long as a tractor is down, it's not making any money for the farm/ operation. I like service trucks. Personally, I prefer the Ford F-450. Because the trucks are fairly large, there really is no limit to what one can attach to them to assist in those various jobs. Kind of reminds me of Squad 51 from the tv show Emergency. They had everything on that truck to save lives. Well, with tractors, one cannot be too prepared. Unless it's so big a job that the tractor must be brought into the dealership for repair, most situations can be handled by these service trucks in the field. In terms of equipment, anything from a small crane/ hoist to a welders station can be added to make repairs efficiently. Without these service vehicles, many farmers would be stuck unless they can perform those repairs. JR
Ah yes the work that no one has a chance to see. There's a lot of work that happens most don't know existed unless you've worked for a farm or been around one.👍🚜
Perfect glad to see you finally got a day in the shop which has had a lot of views from viewers and some equipment other then the tractors. Think it would also be great if you could do a video of the bin site at the farm lots of people seem to like videos like that
Wow. A service truck that is actually organized and doesn't have trash and junk tools just thrown around... This is a first. 😅 You have to applaud someone who takes pride in their work these days.
I love your videos. Having some of these more "background" videos like this are nice to see. It answers many questions we may have and it shows another perspective. Thanks!
Thanks for showing B T P and Matt. I always get ideas for my 1 ton service truck from others like yours. What works for one don't always work for another. Lol. Just suggestions. I built custom front bumper with pull points on it and 12000lb. winch . Has lot of uses. Thanks again guys.
I really enjoyed this video. Great to see a bit more of what Matt is doing on farm in terms of day to day repairs. In reply to Piper Doug I'm an old fart and I have an electric grease gun too!! UK Farmer
Wonderful video BTP The truck is highly organised, bolts easily visible like everything else is as well. Battery charger in the cab is a great idea. No vice on board ? This truck is a credit to Matt...... 👍👍
Is that a Harbor Freight catalog on the dash at the beginning? If so, that's cool! That disk makes easy work of those tall weeds. You don't even see them after it's done a pass.
Awesome vid loving service truck👍dream truck, I have Nissan D40 with flat tray, with toolbox for farm servicing. With similar tools like grease gun, grease tools, hand tools, fluids, spares like nuts n bolts. Also carry PPE gear, plumbing tools for livestock troughs n chainsaw gear. Ice box for food n drink. Matt definitely has very nice setup of service truck.
That is a really nice service truck I think the best thing I liked about it was the bolt been up top that was such a smart idea and he really does a lot of different jobs on that farm I’m surprise he does so many different things and what happened to that field that they were working and at the end why was it under water most of the year
I wish I had the time. Between work and being in a band it’s hard to find time to sit in front of a computer and edit videos. I’ll let BTP take care of that for me 👍🏼
I really like your videos I really like videos with your friend Matt I want question to ask though that feel that they were just going to have it at all we want me better to mow the weeds down first make it easier to bury them. But keep up the videos:-):-)
Hey btp, first of all thanks for the great video, I love the Chevy Trucks. My favourite is the K30 (Military version). I have also one question: Is Matt the farmer in person or an employee. Greetings from germany
Excellent video as always B.T.P.,I like the service truck setup,the only problem with it is the GM built truck,the quality is been so poor on these in the last 40 years,that there is actual talk about GM going completely out of business. My neighbor used to run GM built trucks until they broke a frame on one of their trucks,it was still under factory warranty.The dealership said that GM does NOT warranty frames!!. Needless to say,the farm has got rid of these Chinese built trucks,for American built Ford trucks.(Ford warranties it's frames too)
Thank you for watching. I have to say as a Chevy Silverado owner I am very pleased with them. I bought my truck new in 2006 and it has nearly 200,000 miles and has never had any issues.
that is one neat rig, although you might want to get a fuel storage tank and/or fuel trailer and a transfer pump for it so you can refuel farm equipment on site with the thing if needed to save yourself from having to burn more fuel just to drive the equipment to a gas station (assuming they fit in one) to fill up, perhaps a small generator (assuming your welder doesn't do double duty as a generator when not welding), battery chargers, and jumper cables on hand to start up farm equipment that won't start due to dead batteries, assuming the truck has enough usable space to fit all these. Just a few suggestions to expand your capabilities beyond supplying spare parts and tools to fix things. Service trucks also usually have small cranes on them as well for those odd jobs that require a bit of heavy lifting.
The farm has two fuel trucks to take care of fuel. I don’t think my truck can handle a 2000 gal tank needed to fuel machines daily. As for the crane, I haven’t needed one yet and if I ever do we have skid steers and forklifts that work just fine. The welder is a generator as well.
Noah tractors that big aren't fueled by a 50 gallon tank on the back of a 1 ton truck. If you'll notice at the first part of the field shot there is a tanker truck there to fuel the tractors.
Matt I've always had a high opinion of you but when I saw all those Milwaukee tools in the truck you just went up about 10 notches in my opinion of you. :) Great job. How do you find time to get in the tractors if you also are the mechanic?
Thank you! I do work on almost every piece of equipment on the farm at some point throughout the year. But everyone else here is very capable of working on things too. Sometimes crews are split up 20-30 miles apart. We have 4 service trucks just like mine to keep everything going. It’s not just me 😁
I use mostly GP sockets because they’re all impact rated. Craftsman and gear wrench wrenches. Channel lock pliers and screwdrivers. And of course Milwaukee!
bigtractorpower probably outside you area of expertise but I have yet to understand why so much of the American farming industry (equipment makers) sold out to foreign investors. Something about just sets me wrong.

I've always wanted the Millennial Farmer to give us a tour of their service truck. Glad to see this video.
Mat is what we call the "Hard man"in our area of farming.He keeps everything running and can run everything.
Matt and most of the people on the farm that are in the field run and repair the machines they use. It’s impressive to see.
Great segment to help show what it takes to keep the Big Tractors and other equipment going.
The bolt bin on top of his toolbox is brilliant!
It sure is handy. You never know what might be needed.
My roads are so rough that they would all be in the same bin🤓
I’ve had to re-organize a couple times this year. Hit a few good bumps that mixed everything up nicely. 🙄
Like the video. Most people don't understand what it takes to keep all that equipment up and running.
Would love to see more videos like this love the channel
Matt is a rolling ACE Hardware. Great Video.
😁👍👍

It is a different perspective to see the work that goes into keeping these big machines running each day.
Very nice to see what that truck have on board, it was a great idea to make a video of it
Thank you.
Perfect glad to see you finally got a day in the shop which has had a lot of views from viewers and some equipment other then the tractors. Think it would also be great if you could do a video of the bin site at the farm lots of people seem to like videos like that
The bin site is in the works. It is a 3 million bu system and I have been filming it for three years. Stay tuned.
Well laid out truck. Lots of nuts bolts. Love it Does the help live on the farm. Wow. That really works on those weeds Hell of a disc
Just like a Case IH, red always saves the day 😎
Awesome video! Matt's service truck is great! Cool watching Matt and the other guys working on equipment too those wishik discs do an amazing job!
Really like tour of service trucks. Interesting to see how people stock them and use them in the field.
Love the video, Matt is a good one, knows most everything that i have seen so far on the farm. Thanks
That was one of the coolest service trucks I’ve seen, I wouldn’t mind driving it anywhere
The milwaukee tools are awesome!
👍👍
bigtractorpower
Can you answer a technical question for me?
That farm looks impressive can’t wait for a tour of it am sure it’s coming
Wow. A service truck that is actually organized and doesn't have trash and junk tools just thrown around... This is a first. 😅 You have to applaud someone who takes pride in their work these days.
This truck keeps the farm rolling from planting to harvest. 👍👍
I've always been a Chevy/GM guy myself.
Me too. 👍👍
Hs
Very cool to get so close to tractors and implements and see what they look like. Thanks for another great video.
I love your videos. Having some of these more "background" videos like this are nice to see. It answers many questions we may have and it shows another perspective. Thanks!
There are allot of moving parts to a farming operation. I appreciate Matt sharing the work that goes into keeping it all going.
Nice Chevrolet 3500 Pick Up Truck & Fire Engine Red color. Enjoyed BTP Episode🚜🎅🎄🇺🇸👍
Another great video on a very professional operation. Matt’s a good dude. Dewalt power tools are good but Milwaukee is on another level.
I have a Milwaukee tools addiction as well Matt. Lol
Awesome video Matt! Keep the videos coming. Love the daily routine around the farm.
Love the shop videos like the truck nice set up ,great mob on the video thanks
👍👍
Good job Matt, nice setup for service truck 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Great video. I always liked having some parts on hand to get back in the field ASAP.
cool setup
Nice and bolt drawer was a nice touch...may have to copy that!!!

I like tha way you got it set up
Thanks for sharing I’m liking your bolt bin set up ! Very nice idea!👍
Thank you for watching.
This is so awesome! I own Garnett Farms LLC. I'm from Southside Virginia.
Awesome truck my frend!!!👌🏻👍🏻
just watching this while waiting for new Farming Simulator mods to come out this morning.
It is what it is!

It probably is there is one in town.

Nice rolling work shop
Cole the Cornstar would kill for a truck like this.
It is a handy set up. This farm uses four identical Silverados to keep everything running in the field.
Cool tour of the service truck. Can you do a tour of the shop?
I like Milwaukee tools also
👍👍

Nice rig!!
Love the “this is the least favourite job to do....grease!!” And then he pulls out the electric grease gun🙄 oh Matt..... damn millennials 😂
It's the best way to do the job LMAO
Agreed they will never understand the struggles of a hand pump one lol
Matt you need to start your own youtube channel.
I wish I had the time. Between work and being in a band it’s hard to find time to sit in front of a computer and edit videos. I’ll let BTP take care of that for me 👍🏼
@@iamatt568 work alone im sure you dont have time with all them acres y'all cover
What is your Instagram name Matt?
Iamatt567
@@iamatt568 I'm going to be bringing all my Milwaukee tools. we will be set for tools until new bigger and better tools come out.
Terrific video
nice
Nice set up 😎
Those harrows really take the ground
Impressive
Wipe the dirt off the grease fittings before greasing!
What kind of pull out drawers do you have? Those are awesome.

You come to Canada make some of your great videos
I hope to get to Canada. I filmed some Fendts in Quebec last year.
@@bigtractorpower Nice! When are we going to see the Fendts?
No hydraulic jacks in service truck, it was a must when I earned my living as an agri engineer.
Matt what you keep that cooler stocked with , lol
Geat video!

Big tractor RUclips John Deere used to have rolling baskets you have any of those out in the field working
Not that I have come across. I would like to film them if I come across them.
What type of background does Matt have? Did he grow up on a farm? Did he go to tech school? He certainly is handy
Matt did grow up a farm in New England. I will ask him to talk about his farming background for a future video.
What's the difference between a heavy-duty disc in a normal?
This one has 30 inch blades where a typical tandem disk has 20 or 22 inch blades. The Wishek will cut down in about 5 inches.
did the repair hold?
How many 9420r s. Do they have ?
They have four and trade each year. One trade in stats in the spring so there are five 9420Rs running the 24 row planters.
Ok what brand sockets and hand tools do you use Matt? What do you like?
I use mostly GP sockets because they’re all impact rated. Craftsman and gear wrench wrenches. Channel lock pliers and screwdrivers. And of course Milwaukee!
Matt G I’ve had good luck with GP sockets. My brother is in the trades and is a huge fan of Milwaukee too.
Does he know milwaukee makes an m18 1" impact lol
Yes he just got 1 in the last month
How much does the truck weight with all the tools in the truck.
I’m not sure. Haven’t been across the scale with it yet. I’m curious too
How many acres do they have??
Surprised he hasn’t got the Milwaukee 1” impact
Maybe Santa will bring me one this Christmas 🎄
Is mat the boss at this farm? He seems very young.
No I am not a boss. I have been an employee for this family farm for 14 years.
Is the Wisheck disk American made or is it German ??
It was originally built in Wishek, North Dakota. It is 50% owned by AGCO and 50% by Wil-Rich/Amity. They are still manufactured in North Dakota.
bigtractorpower probably outside you area of expertise but I have yet to understand why so much of the American farming industry (equipment makers) sold out to foreign investors. Something about just sets me wrong.
Is that truck diesel or gas
All the farm’s trucks are gas.
That thing looks like a fire truck
Sup
Hi. Thanks for watching three BTP videos in a row.
Does the truck have a Duramax diesel engine?
Looks like it's a trusty 6.0 gas
What is the name of the tool drawers in the service bed?
They are CTech drawers. Definitely would recommend them if you are in the market.
Best tool for this farm is having the Mexican
Field pretty nasty seen that disk moving around as it worked the dirt....
The field was under water most of the year. The Wishek cleaned it right up.
Steam powered impacr? Lol!!
Are they hiring
@colethecornstar check this out
Dam Chevys
I have owned a 2006 Silverado since new. It has 190,000 miles and has never had one problem.
Wish I could say the same. Less miles, several issues.
Looks too clean to be a real service rig.
It’s a nice set up.
Nothing like being a grease worm
Matt you need to have your bosses switch to a Ford. They would drive and ride a lot better than that Chevy.
