Probably one of the most telling. BTP videos. Shows what it takes to keep the big tractors in the field. It’s all good Matt. You’re not alone. We’re watching and appreciating
BTP Matt is absolute legend I definitely could have a bloke like him working beside me and we are pretty much the same and to see I’m not the only one doing this sort of stuff 👌😎👍🇦🇺
Thank you, I would like to! However I lack the time to dedicate to editing videos and posting unfortunately. For now I’ll leave the heavy lifting to Jason. Maybe someday
As a farm raised mobile welder Ilove this type of work. Needle scaler works great or beads and creates a small surfacing on them to help lest longer.....great work!!
Glad to hear you are going to feature some of the work required in the off season to keep the big machines rolling all growing season - looking forward to the shop work. Also want to see how they feed and keep the crew of humans running in the field.
Somehow the first times Matt made appearances in your videos he struck me as the go to guy around there ! I'm sure there are truck drivers and other essential employees around there too but when out of all,the employees they make sure he stays fully employed and to be in charge of maintenance says to me he is a valuable asset and needs to be taken care of ! Working by yourself is kind of a double edged sword . Boredom , as with those shanks is no fun ,gotta make a game out if it ,how many an hour or day or something like that .Or you could have one of these smart alec kids nowadays telling you how it should be done and complaining about having to work to hard while playing on the phone !! Somehow I bet he'll have a little time off before spring and be ready to try out one of the many new machines this operation always has to work with and see what that does !! Thanks for the new kind of video !
like all jobs Matt there is always boring work to do at least you look like you love working there having come off a farm that is the most amazing workshop I have seen you are very lucky you are pretty much your own boss I would bet there are a lot of people in your trade would give anything to have a job like you have all the best
Matt G!!!! Look at it this way,,,, you are only a few short weeks away from being back in the field!!!! Down here in the land of the Texas fireball it never ends,,,, and it’s all mixed together!!! Never stops! We will be ripping and deep braking until probably February,,, then go again!
Thanks BTP. Enjoyed these videos. Matt, I certainly know what you mean. I used to spend a lot of time during the winter hard-facing shanks and building new ones. Hang in there! It is amazing how fast they wear out when the hard-facing wears off.
Hey Matt, my son works as an engineer. He designs and test hardware on the Large Hadron Collider. He gets to go to Europe a lot, however, he gets into the same rut. Testing circuit board day after day, week after week, is probably about the same tedious situation. Just smaller parts. I get it. Hang tough. I tell him to pray. It helps him. Your job looks like a lot of fun for the most part, but a job is a job after awhile. He free climbs rock faces to alleviate the stress. I send prayers to you. Thanks again, Bigtractorpower Guy.
I tell you Matt, I like what you are doing that be right up my alley work in the in the winter , nobody bothering you , I'd love it ,you got it going on , buddy , love the videos , keep it up , put a pot of coffee on for your break time , ,see you in the next video God Bless
I really enjoy videos of repair and maintenance of the equipment. I think it gives a better understanding of the equipment and the processes involved on a farm. I think many people would be amazed at what it takes to get a ripper to stay in the ground and perform like they do. Great video! It's okay to talk to yourself as long as you know it's you doing the talking!
Enjoy watching Matt do workshop fixing definitely different insight, at moment we harvesting canola n wheat with drought our canola has done well but wheat didn’t fill out good as we miss last rain before harvest n in between harvest we are shearing sheep. Wool is also effected with drought with dusty backs (broken wool fibres) which is from stress from lack of feed. Rest of summer is chasing water for sheep n flystruck, then back tillage/burning stubble in Autumn with sowing usually winter to spring is our workshop maintenance as well as fencing.
Hi Matt, keep up the good work. You are a needed person on the farm. You are doing great work and know what you are doing. I was raised on a farm in Montana, and we did a lot of hardening welds on tool bar shovels!
Your doing great job and if u didn't do it the whole operation will come to stand still. Enjoyed the video and it reminds me the Ploughs are gonna need some work.
This guy shows how nutty you can get out on the farm when you aren’t around many people, then suddenly you have a camera in your hand and you’re expected to video yourself. Hahahaha this was a good video with the vlog style at the end, Keep it up!
I like these shop videos, that would be super cool if you did more videos like this with Matt. And I think Matt should start is own RUclips channel that would be sweat.
Matt is filming his ship projects to share on BTP. He will have a combine project I. The next video from the shop. Matt likes being on BTP but has shared saying he does not have s enough time to be. youTuber.
Need to get yourself a good fresh air supply filter for all that welding , breathing all that Argo will make you talk to yourself, Stay Safe , great videos
Best thing I can advise Matt is put a radio in the shop we have one in ours and it makes the day go by so much faster doing tedious work I personally hate hard surfacing especially chisel plow points
Another excellent video1 Its always nice to see the various tractors and machines in operation - but seeing what happens when these are not operating is very interesting!!
Looks like Matt has the chore of the never ending repair list at the farm shop. Yep, that'll make you talk to yourself while doing that, that's for sure. Stay safe.
It's awesome that you are doing these types of videos now along side the regular videos.Makes it even more interesting.There was an article in a mcdon magazine a little while back a featuring Garnett farms annd Billy and his brothers,was an interesting read. Matt might start his own youtube channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@BTP: Tremendous presentation Jason. Especially appreciate the behind-the-scene maintenance & repair operation. Hope to more of this in future presentations. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
Matt I’d trade you in a heartbeat, I work with servers and sensitive information all day. I intentionally have forced myself to be outside or on small engines because office life is soul draining. None the less you asked for prayers and I’m always willing pray for someone.
Also i run a welding shop Matt & when welding the same part over and over i put air pods in listen to music. I like to listen to hard rock to keep motivated lol
This is a very nice change up for your video's, I personally enjoyed this episode and rank it in the top ten . At the 3 minute mark the drone footage really captures the size of this farm, the out buildings/home and the ground encompassing this area is impressive, looks like an island on a large body of water, any idea how many acres surround this area? I have enjoyed your interaction with Matt over the past year and really enjoy the dialog between the two of you. I believe Matt has a demanding job with a lot of responsibility and I for one would not want to put in the hours per day that is required of someone in this position. I wish him the best and I would love to have that job if I was 45 to 50 years younger. He'll have great memories and stories to share with family and friends later on in life. Enjoy the present and dream of the future! Thanks, looking forward for more video's along this line.
Thank you for watching. I have worked that field numerous times and never thought twice about it....until I saw that drone footage. It blew my mind how cool it looks! That field in the drone shot is about 380 acres.
Thank you for watching and your great comments. Matt replies saying the field is 380 acres. This field is part of a big block that runs all the way back to the home farm. By the time they cross the road into this field they have run through nearly 2,000 acres of ground.
Hey Matt, that much welding and i'd get a good helmet. I got an Esab SENTINEL A50 Auto Darkening helmet and wish I gotten it years ago. I used to weld for a living while farming, now just farm. They are pricey, 300, but the head/sweat band is built top notch. Way more view. Got the kit wGloves on amozon. I think their built in Sweden. Music helps too.
I think vids awesome because I wish I could be in the Cab of one of those pulling that ripper. I enjoy operating the Tractors we have but we Plough with 2 New Holland T7. 125. The 125 is the HP but we have had them boosted to 190HP
harding rods for stick welding are wonders for making stuff last a little longer weld ed up many points and shanks with them. they would last longer than the mig welds they are doing guess they have started making hard surfacing wire just looked it up only ever new of stick rods
The way the shank looks like what Matt was showing they are going at least 4 to 6 inches below the hard pan maybe should shallow the implement up and utilize the horsepower of the tractors
Matt what you do is vital to the operation! Without those shanks being fixed and available means plows sit idle. 😩 Not a good thing. Enjoy watching you work.
Tell Matt to put the hard facing weld beads beside each other so they touch each other. Then it will be a second layer of wear. And use hardfacing welding rod made for abrasion. We did back in the day for plow shears..
Wow lot of work for one guy look at the bright side your working ,very nice shop they run alot of JD equipment so there can't be a whole lot to do right I don't know never ran a JD never will just going buy what other farmers say (lol) joking aside very nice farm thanks great video I like shop tours
Great video as usual btp. Tell Matt he definitely needs a 📻 for company. Would be better if he had someone else working in the shop with him. Looking forward to the shop videos..... 👍👍
I would love to work on the farm with Matt. I love to fabricate new items and fix broken items that get broke in the field. Don't mind long hours and running Equipment can't find anything like that here in Las Vegas at all. I have wanted to work on a farm since I was little but no farm's here
That is cool your watching from Las Vegas. There is another long term viewer and fan of BTP from Las Vegas. I am always happy to pass a resume along to the farm. My email is contact@bigtractorpower.com
@@bigtractorpower I truly appreciate it very much. I will email you over a resume this means alot thank you Sir. If you ever plan on coming out here let me know I have 2 bedroom available for you free I'm only 10 minutes from the Convention center and the Las Vegas strip.
Matt back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth we put steel and 7018 rods for days on subsoilers, your welding machine with the wire may make it easier look for an old guy at wire soft
Matt it's OK brother, talking to yourself, that's what we do, I've hard faced scrapers and rebuilt Cat rippers and blades. What you need to worry is when you argue with yourself, and you start loosing the argument 😂💊😎
Matt it may not seem like it is important what you do but without men like you a farm couldn't run or operate God bless!
Probably one of the most telling. BTP videos. Shows what it takes to keep the big tractors in the field.
It’s all good Matt. You’re not alone. We’re watching and appreciating
Thank you! Luckily the welding only took a few days. Onto something else!
BTP Matt is absolute legend I definitely could have a bloke like him working beside me and we are pretty much the same and to see I’m not the only one doing this sort of stuff 👌😎👍🇦🇺
😎👍👍
I think Matt should start his own RUclips channel. Great job Matt, we need more people like you in this country.
Thank you, I would like to! However I lack the time to dedicate to editing videos and posting unfortunately. For now I’ll leave the heavy lifting to Jason. Maybe someday
Both Billy and Matt sure do seem like good guys. Good friends to have
They are. Thank you for watching.
As a farm raised mobile welder Ilove this type of work. Needle scaler works great or beads and creates a small surfacing on them to help lest longer.....great work!!
Yes i'm going to like these. Great to see Matt in the off season, as he is a plus to their operation. thanks for the video.
Glad to hear you are going to feature some of the work required in the off season to keep the big machines rolling all growing season - looking forward to the shop work. Also want to see how they feed and keep the crew of humans running in the field.
Thank you for watching. As far as meal time goes Subway and Hardee’s are popular dinner options.
@@bigtractorpower Thats interesting. That would be better than the sandwiches and coffee I got for diner and supper at seeding time.
Yes finally some nuts and bolts of the behind the scenes of this operation. Looking for seeing more.
It is good to show the inner workings to the viewers. The shop hours add up over a year. A plus is that Matt appears to be a fun guy. :-)
Matt is a great guy and good farmer.

Matt is a great part of the farm. There are other good guys to know on the farm too. They make a great team.
Love the equipment videos, but it's really great to see the behind the scenes shop work. Great job !!!
I love seeing "the whole season" from one farm including the winter shop work
Thank you for watching.
like all jobs Matt there is always boring work to do at least you look like you love working there having come off a farm that is the most amazing workshop I have seen you are very lucky you are pretty much your own boss I would bet there are a lot of people in your trade would give anything to have a job like you have all the best

Matt, you're a true Savage. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.🤗
😂 takes a savage to know one! 👍🏼
@@iamatt568 , shucks.... blushing.
Well done BTP and Matt. Love to see all aspects of the farming operation. Everything is important to keep the farm running smoothly.
Thanks BTP. Enjoyed these videos. Matt, I certainly know what you mean. I used to spend a lot of time during the winter hard-facing shanks and building new ones. Hang in there! It is amazing how fast they wear out when the hard-facing wears off.

Luckily this job only lasted 3 days and I was onto something else. It’s never the same. Always something to work on or operate.
I tell you Matt, I like what you are doing that be right up my alley work in the in the winter , nobody bothering you , I'd love it ,you got it going on , buddy , love the videos , keep it up , put a pot of coffee on for your break time , ,see you in the next video God Bless
BTP. I love the content! You and OLF are an everyday watch for me. Keep up the awesome content
Love the interactive videos with Matt. Matt getting a little more comfortable in front of the camera. Great job Jason and Matt!
I really enjoy videos of repair and maintenance of the equipment. I think it gives a better understanding of the equipment and the processes involved on a farm.

Very nice video with drone view and workshop
Great video of Matt working on equipment. Would love to see shop videos this winter of equipment being repaired and cleaned. Matt is great.

Hi Matt, keep up the good work. You are a needed person on the farm. You are doing great work and know what you are doing. I was raised on a farm in Montana, and we did a lot of hardening welds on tool bar shovels!
Hello! I allways enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Portugal.
Your doing great job and if u didn't do it the whole operation will come to stand still. Enjoyed the video and it reminds me the Ploughs are gonna need some work.
Please keep the shop videos coming with that much horsepower I cant imagine all the stuff they tear up.
Nice to see who owns these farms. You need to do more videos of repair work on these farms. Great Job.
There will be more Matt in the shop videos for sure.
Shop/farm tours would be really cool videos!!!
This guy shows how nutty you can get out on the farm when you aren’t around many people, then suddenly you have a camera in your hand and you’re expected to video yourself. Hahahaha this was a good video with the vlog style at the end, Keep it up!
Great to see background vids. Grew up on a farm out west and remember Dad doing repairs and fabrication all winter every year.
It’s amazing how all the deep ripping they do and still keep finding those huge rocks
Rocks push up over time so thee is always a new crop to contend with.
bigtractorpower o ok I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info
Deep tilling is impossible where I'm from. Rock bed literally 1 to 2 feet down across the entire farm. Jealous of this rockless ground
Bless his heart...always something to do on a farm.!!!
I like these shop videos, that would be super cool if you did more videos like this with Matt. And I think Matt should start is own RUclips channel that would be sweat.

Nah. Don't be so dramatic.
'Thanks for the video. Cool to see the work put in to keep those big machines going.
Yes do not cut Matt out best vids yet
Matt is a big help and I appreciate him joining in on the tractor fun.
Very cool and a nice alternative take on these big machines.
I like videos like this. A more detailed look at what happens on a farm we city folks don't know about.
Love seeing what all you do in the shop
Good to see some shop time sod buster thanks. Sam
Best thing I can advise Matt is put a radio in the shop we have one in ours and it makes the day go by so much faster doing tedious work I personally hate hard surfacing especially chisel plow points
Awesome Video Buddy!!
Really enjoyed the shop time!
Garnett should have their own reality show or yt channel
It’s a neat operation with allot of good and interesting people. I think it would be a good series.
Big tractor Challenger
👍👍
Cool video! it’s neat to see the shop work
Time to fix things up so they can be broken again oh the joy of working on equipment.
😁👍👍
Very cool video BTP! Matt is great!
Another excellent video1 Its always nice to see the various tractors and machines in operation - but seeing what happens when these are not operating is very interesting!!
The big DEERE tractors are awesome!

I'd happily send Matt some cake...trouble is he wouldn't have time to eat because he has so much welding to do 😊
Great see a flash from the past and what happen to all that shanks, great video
I wanna know everything we can about this farm. Very impressive operation!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching. I have been filming their seasons for about 20 years. BTP has all their seasons from 2010 to today.
i suggest you to apply to the front of v-rippers with wear resitant alloy like Hardox or other commercial Manganese vanadium alloy
I think vids awesome because I wish I could be in the Cab of one of those pulling that ripper. I enjoy operating the Tractors we have but we Plough with 2 New Holland T7. 125. The 125 is the HP but we have had them boosted to 190HP
Ol Matts ah cool dude...........
Great video!!
Digging the behind the scenes vids
harding rods for stick welding are wonders for making stuff last a little longer weld
ed up many points and shanks with them. they would last longer than the mig welds they are doing guess they have started making hard surfacing wire just looked it up only ever new of stick rods

Great stream THANK you
Thank you for watching
Great video.
Love all your videos would like to see a video about the grain set up 😎
Hello from Spain!! Fantastic Channel!! Which material does he use for welding? Is It special for wear?
Matt what you do is vital to the operation! Without those shanks being fixed and available means plows sit idle. 😩 Not a good thing.
Enjoy watching you work.
Hi, Matt, I would turn on the radio while your working by yourself :)
Tell Matt to put the hard facing weld beads beside each other so they touch each other. Then it will be a second layer of wear. And use hardfacing welding rod made for abrasion. We did back in the day for plow shears..
I use hard facing wire. Lincore 60-0. It’s mainly used on quarry machinery
It’s 250$ for a 25lb spool so covering the whole shank with weld would be extremely expensive. our 1 inch spacing works really well
Interesting. I'd get some music playing inside your shop, maybe a dog & and or a cat too. Fun Watching BTP🚜🎄👍
Wow lot of work for one guy look at the bright side your working ,very nice shop they run alot of JD equipment so there can't be a whole lot to do right I don't know never ran a JD never will just going buy what other farmers say (lol) joking aside very nice farm thanks great video I like shop tours

Tell Matt he definitely needs a 📻 for company.
Would be better if he had someone else working in the shop with him.
Looking forward to the shop videos..... 👍👍
Liked the video !!

Sounded like the birds are keeping Matt company.
😁👍
While that 875e is in the shop,see if you could get some shots of that aux fuel tank and mounting. Thanks
I will pray for you Matt 😁 would like nothing more to come and give you a hand 💪
Only if we had someone in Europe like you...and to also speack in english
Please install guard on you side grinder and wear safety glasses!
Matt, I sent my thoughts and prayers, but you still have to weld...
Matt back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth we put steel and 7018 rods for days on subsoilers, your welding machine with the wire may make it easier look for an old guy at wire soft
Matt -- now you understand why I went to law school. VBG
Matt it's OK brother, talking to yourself, that's what we do, I've hard faced scrapers and rebuilt Cat rippers and blades. What you need to worry is when you argue with yourself, and you start loosing the argument 😂💊😎
Hey Matt it is A LONELY JOB EH
G'day
Hi.
