This channel should be called "The great adventures of Laura Farms". I just love it to pieces. You Folks make me feel like I was there with you, make me feel young again. Thank you.
I was hoping to watch you galfing lol. Your side by side trip looked like a blast. I have not been out on mine all summer. Thank you for taking us along.
Laura, yours & Grant’s side-by-side trip with all your friends to the mountains of Wyoming looks awesome!! The views at that elevation are simply amazing! You seem to have a really good balance between work & play! WTG!!
the 5 ton 6x6 yall have could be kitted out with a few utility boxes , an air compressor, welder, pivot parts, tools and a plethora of other items such as a bench vice etc., making it a moving workshop, that way you would not have to keep shuttling back and forth between the shop and project site
Some people pay money for CrossFit training. I think having a pivot irrigation system provides all the CrossFit training that one needs without having to pay directly for it.
Logging has never been easy,but it seems like it has been more of a challenge then in the past. although it could do with some more tweaks to make it even better but our farmers should be looking at how they can benefit form this trend and working with Loggers. Thank you Laura farm's.
I love the NASCAR tire change, you guys work together so well. Then the Golfing and 4 wheeling? Talk about work hard and party hard- in a healthy wholesome way. Rock on!
I was going to call this video, pivot week, until you took us to the top of the world. Enjoy some of your free time before harvest starts, once that starts there will be no fun time for a while. Stay fit and well, all of you. ❤
😁🤗😃 yes that is some beautiful country been there before camping hiking biking had a lot of fun when I was there Wyoming is a good place I especially love this one thank you
I grew up around logging. Started working in the woods for my Dad at the age of 12 and would say it's about the same as to the amount of problems you have. Machines breaking down etc. 😁👍
Thank you for the offer, Laura Farms, and to all the crew. I now have a deeper and healthier respect and appreciation for farm work. As you can tell from my profile picture, I am from the Saint Louis Area, and due to these gas prices, very seldom do I have a chance to travel outside of the area, especially visiting various farms. Wishing you and yours all the best in your endeavors.
I learned a trick to fill a rut, line the flakes from a bale of straw under the wheel or track. I was doubtful at first myself, but the compressed straw supported my hi-trak skid loader and drove it out.
Laura, I live in rural Southeast King County in Washington on a small lake. I often have deer and other wildlife walking up and down my driveway. I often see bald eagles, herons, and other water birds as well.
.... Empty gets stuck ..... back in the day when every pick-me-up was two wheel drive, in the winter we would put weight in the back to get more traction .. with the big o'l army truck you have lots of rubber on the ground reducing the downwards psi and the only wheels that have traction in soft ground is the steer axel ..... think of PSI on those back tires, they are just about floating when empty ..... do you have a scale on the farm, weigh the steer axel and figure out the PSI and then weigh the rear of the truck and do the same calculation .... the way it is now is good for doing brake stands .... I know nothing on the matter of running in sand and river beds but this is the first thing that came to mind when you were talking about it ..... why are pivot tires air and rubber, would steel wheels like they they had on tractors back in the day. Just seems there has to be a better way .... Hell ya to the outdoors and that beautiful country side you were exploring .... burnt wood has to be havested and to the mill within a year otherwise it is destined for the chipper ..... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .... have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
You can probably start feeling it in the head at over 10,000 feet. I felt it at 5300 when I first got here but I was out of shape. I haven't noticed in months so I acclimated.
As of right now I’ve watched all of your videos in sequence! It took about a month. My intention was to comment on every one ( I may have missed a few) some I commented on several times so that will make up a little ( but doesn’t help the view counts on the few I missed).
My wifes brother uses an army truck very similar to pull the log trailers from the landing to the road. Might not work well in Platte river but pretty good crawling out of NC mountains.
Wow Laura! You have come "SO FAR", since your first video in the tractor with your snacks. I remember your first pivot tire change with your dad, on the Sprayer. Now you are doing the ground work and doing it well. I am pleased to have ridden along with you since your first video. You and Grant are living a dream. Keep it up. 😎😎🚜🚜
As far as the Ford pulling the trailer with the army truck Ford makes a very excellent truck and it didn't surprise me that it could pull that trailer you guys are such a blessing to me keep up the great work sending prayers and hugs your way from Martinsville Indiana
Wyoming is a beautiful state, moving back in two years, once it gets in your blood, there is no turning back, can't wait, love you guys! Work hard and play harder!
THIS was a great video - trailering the truck under a bridge, pulling off several pivot tires, lugging rock two pivot lengths into a corn field, changing one pivot tire in record time, a golf outing, mountain driving, logging, wildlife...you crammed a whole week of stuff into 15 minutes. Also the quality of the video rivals any on RUclips. Pretty darn good work all around, right thar.
Have you and grant ever think about drone spraying crops seems so cool no more tractors in the fields and its super easy to operate and no more rep of big machinery
Laura, you, Grant & your Dad seem to have one huge, continuing headache throughout the growing season and that’s those damn pivots that you can’t live without! Never seen so many tire problems & getting stuck problems! Your approach to solving all these problems is inspiring! Why so muddy? You guys are truly masters at all you do!
@@joelbittner8791 would it be that the pivot became stuck & kept watering the same spot until it was manually shut off. I don’t know anything about pivots or irrigated row crop farming but I’m trying to learn as much as I can from Laura, because she’s one hell of a good teacher! Just thought if we could eliminate over-watering situations, we could also eliminate the creation of the mud and maybe have less stuck pivots. Just a thought!
Time to get some irrigation control from Irritrol or Semios if they don't have good ag instrumentation already. Probably exceeding local spinkler water application rate?
@@Morgan2XL I grew up about 20 miles from where Laura is and I’m pretty sure that isn’t a thing around those parts. Nebraska sits on the largest underground aquifer in the USA.
@@davemason2066 that’s a good thought! Of course the pivots are naturally going to be traveling through a certain amount of mud, but you are 100% correct about the mud becoming overwhelming if the pivot sits in one place too long.
Can you not get solid tires or at least foam filled tires for your pivots? Maybe even some sort of track system (like a skid steer) that gives you a bigger footprint to better support the weight of the pivot?
Your getting so good at changing those tires , you'll be hired full time just for that lol. Loved seeing your trip in the Wyoming mountains. Are you looking forward to starting harvest? Take care, be safe and live your life to the fullest.
Hi Laura…gosh but I got to remembering working on two of the Children of the Corn films. Shot In rural North Carolina..in farm country. I spent 20 years as a tv News. Video journalist at a major TV station and for CBS news. But loved living In NC..great people. Then after leaving TV and retiring as a reserve Army Officer I bought a small farm till I moved out west to own a media company.
That’s what you get in the timber industry eh 15 years of my OTR has been in my 1972 Hayes Clipper Anniversary Logging truck or pulling Beaver Biscuit’s (wood chips) from mills to ports or production plants. Outdoor farmer style but the remote beauty and danger is my drug of life eh Keep up the great work you two eh
If you would've cleaned the mud from the rim you might have sprayed starting fluid in side and light it it will usually air it up and reseal it without dismounting it
I've done both and in my opinion there is no comparison. Farming is pretty laid back the new equipment theres auto steer so you just sit there on a field with no stumps or anything and you only work when the weathers good...logging on the other hand is alot more difficult you stumps the terrain is steep soft and muddy you work in all weather conditions from 30 above to 40 below zero c and you still have to operate the machines there us no auto steer or anything and 10 times more functions then any farm tractor or combine
What's the update on the sprayer? I have to think you are missing it terribly for pivot tire changes and maintenance if not "just" for spraying! Thanks for the collage of life and scenery. Really cool!
Laura you are a awesome lady keep up the good work farming is hard but it's easy to and yes there is a lot breakdowns you'll find it and anything you do but you're a go-getter I like it
Question, if you suspect a pivot is stuck or has a bad tire, do you ever run a drone to do a quick inspection rather than walking through a crop to find out?? Obviously either way you'll eventually need to trudge out there, but save a trip with a quick drone flight?
"Never make two trips to carry what can't possibly be carried in one." I lived by that saying for years and I recently paid the price for doing too much at once: What seemed to be a relatively minor injury has turned into a nightmare. Best wishes for your time off, you guys.
Luara I absolutely love your videos I watch them every day and I love seeing your adventures you guys go on together my grandparents live on the farm a farm in Iowa Minnesota so not to far from Nebraska I love love love farming its what I want to do when I grow up I love taking care of our feedlot of beef cattle and we do sliage just like you guys it’s just crazy to think that some of things I have learned as a famer myself from some of your videos keep on going love the content also I’m so sorry to hear from your recent videos people are crossing the line and visiting your farm never okay I agree keep up the great content also haven’t heard about Baxter and cooper in a while would love and update on them to see them and how there doing
When you got to Grant’s pivot with all that rock only to find you didn’t need it, I was thinking “bummer dude.” And then when your phone fell over in the truck bed I thought, nope, THAT’s the “bummer dude” moment.
The phone falling into the muddy truck bed was one of the funniest things I've seen on your channel, and I've been with you almost from the beginning! 😅 Loved the Wyoming mountains as well.
Looks like to me maybe you could foam feel the center pivot tires . You find a lot of telehandlers with foam filled tires. Maybe cost prohibitive or maybe they would just be too heavy to handle to change gearboxes be worth looking at they would never go flat
When a pivot stops or gets stuck, would it help to have a drone?. You could send the drone out into the field to "have a look" so you dont waste energy carrying bags of lava rock to a pivot that has a flat tire 😋😉 hehe..
They log down here in the south, kinda like you farm. Weyerhauser, potlatch, JP Morgan, are some of the main land owners that own hundreds of thousands of acres, they contract logging companies. Logging is really really expensive. It also tears the body up believe it or not, I know two men in their 50s who can't walk anymore, because they rode in heavy equipment in the woods all their life.
What's with all the trees? When I farmed with my dad in 1958 (age 6) there were trees within the city of Marquette, Aurora, and Grand Island..... but on the plains the only trees were on the boundaries between farms in a very narrow row. There were also some trees along the Platte (along with small Crawdads and some Sandhill Cranes) and a great deal more water than you apparently have today. I would say 1-2 feet deep, but still with sand patches. PS: I have been doing some online research on tornadoes in Nebraska. On average (and if my Edge searches are accurate) Marquette seems to have had more tornadoes than anywhere else in Nebraska. Interestingly, "Tornado Alley" has been moving easterly in the last decade or so. The Alley used to run from Texas, north right smack through Oklahoma, and then, continuing northerly, into Kansas and Nebraska. Nowadays, with the easterly shift, there are an increasing amount of tornadoes in Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri (like the real bad one in Springfield). Has your family encountered plains tornadoes before? PSS: I mentioned earlier that I was driving tractors at age 6. My dad was very careful about this, as when he was in public school in Hampton (in Hamilton County) there were kids in his class with amputated limbs from when they accidentally got drug into Harvesters and Pickers. So please watch out for that long hair. I don't know how often this happened to young children. PSSS: Your video skills are top-notch. Keep going. I like the nostalgia. Question: You are Swedish and my family was Danish. Back in the first part of the 20th century, how did Nebraska Swedes and Nebraska Danes get along? I know there was tension, back then, between Danes and Germans (which I hope has by now totally evaporated). Do you know what Ebelskivers are? My great-grandfather built the Danish Lutheran Church on display at the Stuhr museum in Grand Island.
I wish we had that kind of space out here in the Netherlands,but every piece of nature is closed for driving through. I know the Netherlands isn't that big but all those nature-freeks have a strong voice out here so as soon as it looks like a string of grass is touched they protest and make sure it is closed for traffic. I had a Landrover once but since there is no fun in driving around anymore I switched to an old Goldwing motorbike to sense some freedom on my travels. For as long as it takes.....🤞. But hey, it still is great seeing you guys have all that fun and pleasure. A good balance with all that hard farmers work👊😎
Ouch! LAurA. That hurt! Right on the forehead. 😈 My dad did a brief logging job in Wyoming near the Idaho border way back in '73. It's nice to see that the same equipment type I used to operate is still being used today.
I think logging is great to do on a farm, great for making biochar and compost for adding more organic matter and water retention to the soil. I think birch is the best for the biochar, but any is better than none.
I was eating the corn that was in my frozen dinner today and I had an intriguing thought for you. It might be fun and interesting to follow your harvested corn and determine how it's eventually used. Will they sell it as fresh cobs? Will they can it? Will they make corn syrup out of it? Will they use it to make corn flakes? I know that I'd find it fascinating to know.
Please please please. Always use chain to tie down equipment. Class 70 chain should be used for highway transport. there should be a chain every 8ft. That 6x6 weights 8 tons, yes? I love you guys and want to see you around for many years. There are many videos on how to properly chain equipment. I know you have gotten by till now so chalk it up as luck and be safe!!!
that crazy driving the side by side down the highway we are not allowed to do that even with our snowmobiles running the ditches can be a problem just cant catch you on a sled
I don’t know anything about farming but can say logging has its fair share of problems and they seem to hit all at once usually after a few good days or week at best but wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Some people pay money for CrossFit training. I think having a pivot irrigation system provides all the CrossFit training that one needs without having to pay directly for it.
Yeah it seems like those tires are not very reliable
Yeah but crossfit is cheaper, those pivots are 10s of dozens of thousands of dollars
Logging has never been easy,but it seems like it has been more of a challenge then in the past. although it could do with some more tweaks to make it even better but our farmers should be looking at how they can benefit form this trend and working with Loggers. Thank you Laura farm's.

To answer the question about problems in logging or farming. As long as Laura and Grant are working together it gets done either way. Love the video
Done both. Farming especially today is complex and Logging is much more dangerous and more BULL work. IMHO.
Hi butch I haven't seen you in must be 7 years I am glad to see you are doing well. Talk soon
@@boscobeans good response. I’ve been around both enough.

Thank You Laura and Grant For Making It Possible To Spend Some Time With You! Couldn't Think Of Anything Better To Do!!
Keep Smiling On!!

Maybe a little maintenance on those pivot tires before the season starts? Check air pressures? Never-seize the studs.

Looks like to me maybe you could foam feel the center pivot tires . You find a lot of telehandlers with foam filled tires. Maybe cost prohibitive or maybe they would just be too heavy to handle to change gearboxes be worth looking at they would never go flat
Farming. And less dangerous. Be safe Laura. And remember blue finger nail polish 😆
Great video have you ever thought of filling the tires with foam so they won't break the bead and get torn up

II have never been golfing and I have never changed a pivot tire, but I can sure imagine!!!!
Way to go on sticking it out on carrying the bags of rock and I am from Wyoming and I get to see that pretty much every day it is beautiful
When a pivot stops or gets stuck, would it help to have a drone?.
You could send the drone out into the field to "have a look" so you dont waste energy carrying bags of lava rock to a pivot that has a flat tire 😋😉 hehe..
This video was great, all over the place. I loved it. Wyoming is a beautiful state.

I am curious why you guys do not either use tracks or SOLID tires which will never go flat? 🤔
They log down here in the south, kinda like you farm. Weyerhauser, potlatch, JP Morgan, are some of the main land owners that own hundreds of thousands of acres, they contract logging companies. Logging is really really expensive. It also tears the body up believe it or not, I know two men in their 50s who can't walk anymore, because they rode in heavy equipment in the woods all their life.
Not sure where you were riding but we go Albany WY west of Laramie about 33mi great place check it out great video

What's with all the trees? When I farmed with my dad in 1958 (age 6) there were trees within the city of Marquette, Aurora, and Grand Island..... but on the plains the only trees were on the boundaries between farms in a very narrow row. There were also some trees along the Platte (along with small Crawdads and some Sandhill Cranes) and a great deal more water than you apparently have today. I would say 1-2 feet deep, but still with sand patches.
PS: I have been doing some online research on tornadoes in Nebraska. On average (and if my Edge searches are accurate) Marquette seems to have had more tornadoes than anywhere else in Nebraska. Interestingly, "Tornado Alley" has been moving easterly in the last decade or so. The Alley used to run from Texas, north right smack through Oklahoma, and then, continuing northerly, into Kansas and Nebraska. Nowadays, with the easterly shift, there are an increasing amount of tornadoes in Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri (like the real bad one in Springfield). Has your family encountered plains tornadoes before?
PSS: I mentioned earlier that I was driving tractors at age 6. My dad was very careful about this, as when he was in public school in Hampton (in Hamilton County) there were kids in his class with amputated limbs from when they accidentally got drug into Harvesters and Pickers. So please watch out for that long hair. I don't know how often this happened to young children.
PSSS: Your video skills are top-notch. Keep going. I like the nostalgia.
Question: You are Swedish and my family was Danish. Back in the first part of the 20th century, how did Nebraska Swedes and Nebraska Danes get along? I know there was tension, back then, between Danes and Germans (which I hope has by now totally evaporated). Do you know what Ebelskivers are? My great-grandfather built the Danish Lutheran Church on display at the Stuhr museum in Grand Island.
From changing pivot tires to golf ⛳️ to 4 wheeling in Wyoming….great video Laura!
I wish we had that kind of space out here in the Netherlands,but every piece of nature is closed for driving through. I know the Netherlands isn't that big but all those nature-freeks have a strong voice out here so as soon as it looks like a string of grass is touched they protest and make sure it is closed for traffic. I had a Landrover once but since there is no fun in driving around anymore I switched to an old Goldwing motorbike to sense some freedom on my travels. For as long as it takes.....🤞. But hey, it still is great seeing you guys have all that fun and pleasure. A good balance with all that hard farmers work👊😎

Ouch! LAurA. That hurt! Right on the forehead. 😈
My dad did a brief logging job in Wyoming near the Idaho border way back in '73.
It's nice to see that the same equipment type I used to operate is still being used today.

Tracked vehicles seem to do well in soggy conditions.....Perhaps a tracked (special-field only) pick-up....
We need some 16+foot bridges where we are.Too many truck accidents.
I think logging is great to do on a farm, great for making biochar and compost for adding more organic matter and water retention to the soil.
I think birch is the best for the biochar, but any is better than none.
Hope all the corn looks that nice !
I was eating the corn that was in my frozen dinner today and I had an intriguing thought for you. It might be fun and interesting to follow your harvested corn and determine how it's eventually used. Will they sell it as fresh cobs? Will they can it? Will they make corn syrup out of it? Will they use it to make corn flakes? I know that I'd find it fascinating to know.

Please please please. Always use chain to tie down equipment. Class 70 chain should be used for highway transport. there should be a chain every 8ft. That 6x6 weights 8 tons, yes? I love you guys and want to see you around for many years. There are many videos on how to properly chain equipment. I know you have gotten by till now so chalk it up as luck and be safe!!!

that crazy driving the side by side down the highway we are not allowed to do that even with our snowmobiles running the ditches can be a problem just cant catch you on a sled
I don’t know anything about farming but can say logging has its fair share of problems and they seem to hit all at once usually after a few good days or week at best but wouldn’t trade it for anything.
