That you Nick. I see your dad is getting some air time in now also go Robert. Sounds like you have a good plan for the bins to set on. Shale for ground cover good way to keep weeds down. I am glad the auger part of the service truck did the work that needed to get done. Scott quite playing all the time lol.
Until I started watching Ur channel I had forgotten how hard & never ending farm work is. It was hard being a hired hand in the 60's; I can't imagine how hard it is in this day & age. Do me a favor if Ur near the f bridge do a video shot going over it. ..thx keep up the good work
I like your video so much Nick, Its great that you show that farming is not just all tractor driving, You have to be a jack of all trades, Love your channel best on youtube imo. Stephen.
It is a Altec Digger Derrick with electric over hydraulic standup console. The hoses in the Digger Derrick are dielectric safe and hopefully it has a fiberglass bucket with upper controls that you can work hot lines. The winch is so useful on this unit. Very surprising what you can pick up but be sure to look at the load angle chart. I worked for Altec and to testify about an accident where the guy was using the winch and upper controls in the fiberglas bucket but he wasn’t using a safety harness and lifting a tree trunk and he accidentally cut his winch rope on a heavy pull. It threw him 200 feet in the air to his death. He would be alive today only if he used his safety harness.
We appreciate it brings out our inner child with playing in the sand and playing with a dump truck and a bulldozer loading the sand in the back of a little toy lol congratulations and I'm getting a hundred thousand let's get to a million and then were talking some serious good channeling
Reply to Brad not Landa Generally any porous gravel allows water to drain out so it won't heave in winter freezing. That pad might still heave depending on what's under it. Shale is a sedimentary formation of old plant residue and they frequently have a lot of ionized minerals in them, which are VERY healthy if extracted with an organic acid. Thinking the shiny must be mica OSHA loves Leg Arms.
Our funniest concrete story. Me and my dad were pouring concrete one day for the new barn floor. We had about one half yard left and we decided to pour under a gate that our hogs were rooting under. We hurried up and pored the extra that we had and mom called us for lunch. After lunch we went out to look at the concrete we poured under the gate and it had disappeared. Dad looked at me and I looked back like what happened. We looked at the hogs that were about 150 pounds and everyone of them had gray whiskers. Yes the hogs ate that half yard of concrete. My dad got worried and called the vet and he was laughing and didn’t think it would hurt them. I looked at my dad and said it would be interesting to weigh one of the hogs since we liked them at 210 to 230 pounds for market. I told my dad that I’ll bet everyone of the hogs gained 10 pounds.
I can't wait to see the final thing... hope it works well!! crazy to see yall doin your own concrete work... that really takes some serious muscle and energy to do that
You were right about being careful with that articulating loader under weight - seen a few where it messed them up pretty badly! Pays to be careful and take your time!
Shale is a sedimentary rock that is made from clay and some other muds compacted together, around here, it used to be mined and ground up to be made into clay for bricks. The shiny stuff was either mica or quartz I think.
Scott, Matt Carriker, DVM, from Demolition Ranch YT channel started a company to distribute merch. for RUclipsrs (if you haven't found a company by now). He is in Texas.
Dad seems pretty laid back with you two sons. He must be tired after yelling at you both all through high school and such! What a great life to be able to keep him close. Only get one Dad!! I'll bet you and legarms put him through the ringer.
*Those old internationals had those giant cigarette trays in the center console, I'm pretty sure everyone uses those as cup holders, the funny thing is that doing that worked better than using the nostalgic cupholders that were so narrow that they made Everything fall out and spill on the ground, and yes that happens to me a lot, sorry I'm a semi truck buff*
I used to have 2 big slabs of green isinglass that I was going to incorporate into my fireplace when I built my cabin that never got built. Ended up selling them to a guy for like $600 a slab!!
In one of your previous vids you told your viewers that farming is one of the most dangerous jobs out there , well go figure , i use one of those Digger Derricks on a daily basis its just a bit newer by a decade or so, good job enjoy watching and have been for a while now
Glad to have a chance to help with the 100k celebration. Feeling for you, the temp here in st Augustine Florida today 1/4/2019 is an unusual 61, and its raining
@@WelkerFarms I believe that was quartz with iron pyrites in it, where my family comes from in eastern ontario there is a lot of marble, when I was a kid all the little chips and flakes that are created during the mining are used on the roads by our county as its free as opposed to gravel which costs $$$$ so we have white and rose coloured rds. it's a common thing now, but it this part of waddle creek there is still some left from the last time the did the rd about 15 yrs ago www.google.com/maps/place/French+Line,+Lanark+Highlands,+ON+K0G+1K0/@45.1083157,-76.5270096,309m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cd238ee47478fe3:0xb1c857bb3813bcdb!8m2!3d45.1312198!4d-76.5328895
don't forget that the service truck with the hydraulic drill can put in power pole screw anchors with ease... so you can bind down stuff.. or run massive chains thru the eyes to prevent equipment from leaving when nobody is watching it.
You may want to think about using some of those old concrete slabs for fill along the land bridge you move big equipment over from field to field, so you don't have an big oops !
would like to see that video on Harry. Our family doctor in Deer Lodge was Leonard Benjamin I think was his brother and was on fire department with His nephew Harry also in Deer Lodge.
Very entertaining video. Fun to watch the process. While I was watching I was thinking what a great life you must have. Must be nice living out on the farm with family and not a bunch of people around. I live just outside the city of Los Angeles and it's crowded everywhere. Just a thought. By the way, your brother is a crack up.
Right on Nick another awsome video man and glad to Scott clowning around. Hes brilliant Nice to see dad in video cant wit see the case looks like a great tractor. AAA++++
As a professional dump truck driver which I am all I would’ve done was driven ahead and hit the brakes that would’ve slid Forward then re-dump and it would slide right out
I laughed so hard when leg arms was spinning on the drill
Pure Chevy Man he crazy I like him
Leg Arms Is Crazy
He came in like a wrecking driiiiil
You spin my head right round right round
Miley Cyrus Leg Arms is not
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a auger, baby
Right round round round
lol!!
G
Thanks for another good video. Very natural n hilarious good time working together.
That you Nick. I see your dad is getting some air time in now also go Robert. Sounds like you have a good plan for the bins to set on. Shale for ground cover good way to keep weeds down.

Thank you! Yes, he is not being so camera shy now :) haha
Still your video's are amazing & nice work 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
@@WelkerFarms 👏👏👏
This video was published about 2 years ago, and now you have 439k subs !!!! so 339k subs more in 2 years !!!!! Thats awesome !
Very familiar with shale...that clear-opackie stuff we call ‘mica’. We played with this as children too. Good memories...
13:08 LOL This is why we love legarms! Looks like fun!
That loader is such a handsome machine

I just saw the Cummins repower y’all did to that loader. Should have painted it white and called it a Lift Bud! ROCK ON Welker!
Back here in NH we bury our old folk in graves laying down, none of that new-[fangled upright burial crap! Nice to see Robert in the videos
tHANKS for conducting Hollywods school on soil & rocks on the Welker farm.
Hey thats a new sort of 360 video!👍👍
I like your video so much Nick, Its great that you show that farming is not just all tractor driving, You have to be a jack of all trades, Love your channel best on youtube imo. Stephen.
Thank you so much! Very true!
A good example of why having the right tools is so important. That auger rig saved a ton of work.
oh ya!!
Great video. I agree Harry Benjamin is amazing. A video with him would be interesting for sure.

Legarms killed it this episode.
oh ya!
Like the fact that you found him being sick made my day you need to tell leg arm to do another Build video the last one was pretty cool
Stay tuned for more leg arms videos!
It looks like water, and i think there is a waterbottle on the truck in the background :D
You guys work so well together, it almost looks natural.(tongue in cheek). Thanks for video time.
Thanks!
I'm glad I found your channel.
Lol Leg arms cracks me up, And yes... those small slabs WILL work :) nice vid sorry for the late comment...
Leg Arms: "I came in like a wrecking ball!"
“Spin me nick!” Fuvkin hilarious.
LegArms sure does work hard. Great video.
As a kind you played with your toys dreaming of the real thing. As an adult you are a better operator because of you experince as a kid.
Oh yeah I shouted you out on my "end of harvest 2018" so hope more Europeans find your channel. Cheers.
Awesome! Thank you so much!

There is improvement with subtitles. Thank you very much!
Awesome videos. Love the realness of them and the funny bits you are putting in them.

Not a single soul:
Legarms:spin me right round right round baby right round

I'm from Germany and love your Videos so much
And a ❤ hello from germany
Thanks!
Good Job Hollywood! Wheres the one call flags? Damn farm kids!
You were right about being careful with that articulating loader under weight - seen a few where it messed them up pretty badly! Pays to be careful and take your time!
I know everyone likes the Big Buds, but I always love the vids what have that old 844 in them. That thing is a beast.

Thanks for the informative information, can't seem to remember these things.
im loving that dump truck it sounds excellent.
Nice job you and your farm Is awesome
Thanks!
Love that Jake Brake!
Great video!
Thanks!
Scott, Matt Carriker, DVM, from Demolition Ranch YT channel started a company to distribute merch. for RUclipsrs (if you haven't found a company by now). He is in Texas.
Welkers are back im action!
Oh ya!
congratulations on the 103K you earned it Nick.
Thanks!
We always build extra forms. Never can have enough concrete pads. Along with saves dumping $$ in a ditch somewhere.
True!
LOL WHAT IS THAT THUMBNAIL! CLASSIC LEGARMS
good job I love this video. do keep up the awesome job
Great video ! 102 and climbing, yeah buddy !!!
Dad seems pretty laid back with you two sons. He must be tired after yelling at you both all through high school and such! What a great life to be able to keep him close. Only get one Dad!! I'll bet you and legarms put him through the ringer.
@Robert Welker Was impressed with dad cleaning out the holes. My dad worked into his late 70's, but he wouldn't be in hole with us two boys there!

👍👍 Thanks for a great video!!
Thank you!
The name is of the stuff in the shale is mica, used on my grand-ma coal furnace to make the window.
Hello from Kalispell! It is mica, also called isinglass. Years ago they used big pieces of it in stove doors.
I used to have 2 big slabs of green isinglass that I was going to incorporate into my fireplace when I built my cabin that never got built. Ended up selling them to a guy for like $600 a slab!!
I bet Mrs Welker had her hands full with Nick and Scott. I can imagine that they were always up to something.
Nick shale chunks are heck on car tires. Great video
Like the video Nick love your Brother paying around God Bless .

‘Laser eye’ leg arms - great job man 👌
At the farm I live on we use shale to make roads
Nice!

thanks for sharing the video
We do appreciate it by the way.
Here in Australia Chris we call it crusher dust 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I Loved the Tonka trucks
We have alot of shale/slate here in appalacha. But I've never seen the crystals. I'll be sure too look for some now lol
Really great video. Love the title.
Thank you!
you should measure up from the cutting edge and put a spray paint line on the bar at 3ft, kinda like a piece of tape on a drill bit
Legarms: I came in like a wrecking ball...
You may want to think about using some of those old concrete slabs for fill along the land bridge you move big equipment over from field to field, so you don't have an big oops !
Lucky 13 minute mark is the best! Ha ha ha.
"Spin me Nick, spin me!" There's nothing better than a good stomach-purging event to add some humor to an ordinary day.
Love it , great stuff !!!!
Dig deep Nick!
Love the vids hollywood! Farmer from iowa here and love watching. Hope to be able to visit you guys sometime and see the farm!
Thanks!
lmao Scott is a born comedian :D
He is pretty great!
😀 Hollywood see you in the next one
See ya :)
Happy Friday!!!!
Thanks!
Great video
Thank you!
I noticed you like that jake break hahaha
Well done , love the DIY ‘can do’ attitude. Don’t we just love farming.
Thank you!
Nick doesn't usually ride in a bucket. But when he does it's for his RUclips fans.😂 ✌God bless stay safe 🚜🇺🇸🚜
would like to see that video on Harry. Our family doctor in Deer Lodge was Leonard Benjamin I think was his brother and was on fire department with His nephew Harry also in Deer Lodge.
Oh it's possible! I'm not sure!
spin me nick fell on floor laughing
If you spin the auger back and forth a few times you dont have to use the shovel
6666^
The sound of a Jake brake will never get old
Very entertaining video. Fun to watch the process. While I was watching I was thinking what a great life you must have. Must be nice living out on the farm with family and not a bunch of people around. I live just outside the city of Los Angeles and it's crowded everywhere. Just a thought. By the way, your brother is a crack up.
Thanks! Yes, so different than LA!!
We had that same problem I’m in Michigan and we fillet a regular semi trailer full and it does the same thing
Still getting use to one brother referring to the other as Leg Arms...
That is hilarious to me for some reason.
Right on Nick another awsome video man and glad to Scott clowning around.
Hes brilliant Nice to see dad in video cant wit see the case looks like a great tractor. AAA++++
Thanks!
As a professional dump truck driver which I am all I would’ve done was driven ahead and hit the brakes that would’ve slid Forward then re-dump and it would slide right out
Im from greatfalls and love your video's man!
Thanks!
Funny leg horn lost his groceries.lol
