Hi editor, a small request-- since there is a lag time between video and airing date, is it possible to post on screen the actual video date? Would help to keep track of the weather you're experiencing , etc. Noticed it on a Welker Farms video and thought it was a great idea. Hope you do too! Hard to keep track of your weather from Atlantic coast. Thanks! Love the channel-- and his sense of humour ! Yep, Canadian, so it's 'our', not 'or'😉😏
Zac, around here in Southern Illinois, the farmers buy the antifreeze by the 55 gallon drum. Add a hand pump and rig up a cheap garden hose and it easier and I think a little cheaper. Hope this helps.
That system the gas company used to trench with is called a HydroVac. Water injection (hydro) to loossen the dirt, and a vacuum tank to remove it. (vac)
Taking drive shaft off. I have learned in the past year that if you pull on the belt and rotate the shaft backwards it releases the pressure on the shaft and it slides right off.
Drove past the shooting park today, getting close. And a good looking soybean crop for beach sand. Goes to show all that damn rain was good for something .
Hahahaha your "water shovel" is a vac trailer, baby brother to a vac truck (usually mounted on a T800 Kenworth or similar), and they are lifesavers. Pair those with flowable fill (like concrete without cement in it but still comes in a concrete truck) and you have the dream team for tying into existing utilities without damaging anything.
Excavating with water is called HydroExcavation. The process is use to avoid electric, gas and fiber optic lines. It causes minimal disruption in the soil. No backhoe needed.
I had a dozen 1 gallon bottles of RV antifreeze sitting in the unheated shop this winter and they were all froze solid when it got cold out. And it was well above the specs at the bottles had printed on them. That being said the plastic bottles did not break
I was just watching you on a podcast and the question got raised regarding your content. About making things interesting. As a farming enthusiast all of your content is interesting changing the oil in a tractor cleaning out beans and corn under the dryer literally all of your contact I find enjoyable, I know that doesn’t mean you want to film everything but from my perspective you literally could!
For whatever it's worth Zach we call those hydrovacs. They're useful things, pricy but a whole lot cheaper than cutting a line belonging to another company.
😆😆 We do that all the time in my line of work. We call it hydro excavating. Very useful when you don't know what's below you or if you need to get around sensitive areas, as illustrated.
In the spring when the ground is sift and with all the stuff you drive around your yard maybe the gas ljne should be a little deeper in the ground I like the new dryer it's dam big it should run a lot of grain
Where that stand pipe comes up out of the conduit you're gonna wanna put a cover on that to prevent water, ice and dirt from building up in that tube. Trust me on this one and cap it before it snows.
Never use rv antifreeze to winterize your sprayer, planter, etc. It dries out the seals in the pumps and is very inconsistent as far as protection. Just save your used antifreeze out of your equipment for this purpose
Hi I saw a tic Tom and wanted to see if you knew about the grain weevil. It would be used in the grain bins in stead of farmers having to go in them themselves.
When you get done with the header at the end of the season take and put some old motor oil on the sickle blade, that's what we used to do for over the winter
I can't be the only one who will cuss out hose clamps and throws fit to my self trying to do things if it's not going smooth. But we always get'r done and then I'm happy
when I started watching millenial farmer, he had one combine, and he would combine 20 hours a day, and come check his dryer every 4 hours. Pretty soon millenial farmer will be in his hot tub 20 hours a day during harvest, watching his combine and dryer on his screen.
Holy smokes! Copper 1 1/4" gas line? I didn't know you won the lottery. I put gas services in everyday and we use plastic for just about everything, steel for pressures over 100psi.
LP is higher pressure than natural gas so you can get away with smaller copper pipe which also simplifies connections. Basically it’s cheaper and easier
,, Also in this case the line going from the tank to the dryer is under full tank pressure, it has not been reduced by a regulator at the point of connection,, The dryer Burns liquid propane gas,, unlike most all other gas "appliances" that burn propane vapor.

Didge is anxious. That's why she is panting

If those gas guys start running, try to keep up!!!😂😂😂
Damn right! 🤣🤣🤣
Best of luck with the oncoming harvest from Ireland. Awful year for growth over here, but hoping you have bins bursting at the seams!
I really like the ways those 2 pups of yours smile when they ride around it always makes me smile with them Thanks
Hope you have a safe and plentiful harvest!!

I been driving across Minnesota the past 2 months and I gotta say the weather is crazy dryer than anywhere I been! I hope the harvest will be good!
Drove past the shooting park today, getting close. And a good looking soybean crop for beach sand. Goes to show all that damn rain was good for something .
Im very behind but i will catch up on the videos. Love the content and your sense of humor
I love watching your dogs riding in the back of the Polaris!!! The expression on there face is priceless!!

Out here in California we call that a vacuum excavator or a suck “truck”. Never seen a trailer version before.
"you versus the guy she tells you not to worry about"......haha that was great!
I love how detailed your farming techniques are! It’s really helpful for beginners like me.
Hi i love your videos im from Slovakia please dont stop posting videos because we love you and we know what is hard work ,🇺🇸🇸🇰
Have a great harvest
In Wyoming we call that a Hydrovac in oil field work.
I think pretty much everywhere, except in Minnesota, they're referred to as a hydrovac 😅
Excavating with water is called HydroExcavation. The process is use to avoid electric, gas and fiber optic lines. It causes minimal disruption in the soil. No backhoe needed.
You might try pulling on the feeder house belt to loosen up that PTO connection. Usually allows it to slide right off.
I had a dozen 1 gallon bottles of RV antifreeze sitting in the unheated shop this winter and they were all froze solid when it got cold out. And it was well above the specs at the bottles had printed on them. That being said the plastic bottles did not break
wow the Millenium using "passengers" so he can use the carpool lane to commute to work...
Thanks for the show guys 🍻
Little bit of advice. When headed pto’s start getting difficult to remove, just reverse the head a smidge before unhooking. Works every time
"I love how you blend academic content with entertainment, it's very easy to absorb!"
In the uk we use air pressure to break up the ground then use a vacuum excavator to vacuum up the ground
Smart ideas start in England, then the spanks get hold of them and claim them as their own.

Dig is a simple girl, she sees the side by side and she wants to go for a ride by ride.
Phone when you were installing the boot was probably the Gub'ner calling hoping for a boost in the polls. 🤪
For whatever it's worth Zach we call those hydrovacs. They're useful things, pricy but a whole lot cheaper than cutting a line belonging to another company.
We called it a vacuum excavator. High pressure water makes mud. Mud is sucked up into tank. Leaves nice clean hole with no damage to wires and pipes!
aka as a suck vac
😆😆 We do that all the time in my line of work. We call it hydro excavating. Very useful when you don't know what's below you or if you need to get around sensitive areas, as illustrated.
Hope the harvest is better than what you expect
Out here in Southeast Manitoba we call that machine a Soft Dig unit. They also have them built into trucks here as well.
Or a Hydrovac. I work for the gas company here, we use them all the time.
I was back in MN yesterday around Currie/Westbrook. Some have started beans but a lot of fields look like a week or so away.
You're doing a real nice job explaining things rather than purely commenting. I for one appreciate that.
You vs the guys she tells you not to worry about. 😂😂. I spit my drink out.
also think about some sort of semi shed for the tanks, so they don t freeze when it's really cold....
Probably already commented but the water shovel is a hydrovac. Love running those things
Awesome video. Thank you very much
Hey zack. Have you ever thought about adding a short air tube mounted so it can blow on your feeder house and help keep it clean?
Zach, you have such a quick and funny wit.
Never heard of pumping LP. Learn something new every day.
When will we see the test run of the dryer? Cant wait to see that monster run
Very soon!
Hydro excavating. Use it all the time.
Good Morning,Ed from Vermont
Makes visual measure, looks good. Extends while in the field, pops off. Buy longer one to make slightly longer visual measurement.
When they are using water and vacuum for digging it is called hydrovaccing
Man the ride to work is crazy
Now that, is the sign of a good man. Getting pizza for the guys working on the project. Well done.
Thanks
Loved the video guys much love and respect thanks for sharing
put something over where the pipes come out so water doesn't go down and freeze in winter when u get rain in wonter
In the spring when the ground is sift and with all the stuff you drive around your yard maybe the gas ljne should be a little deeper in the ground I like the new dryer it's dam big it should run a lot of grain
That's what she said!! Before video even started, after only reading the video title
😂😂😂
And to consider that the video was about a bigger pipe, well, I think that’s spot-on!
Bruh... 😂
That dryer looks huge !
That's and aussie for you! Talking all the time!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWERFUL CREATING AND MAGICAL PERFECTION 🙏🙏....
Good video good to see y'all
All good!
Greetings from central Montana
Where that stand pipe comes up out of the conduit you're gonna wanna put a cover on that to prevent water, ice and dirt from building up in that tube. Trust me on this one and cap it before it snows.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Zach your "same s**t every day" short was hilarious 😂
Gutted you took it down.
Becky was running a test. You can find the original on my tiktok.
Zack Attack... Is A Real Boy!!
Great video. Looking forward to harvest.
Have you decided to look at the 8500 corn water unit Zach
Hope y’all are having a good day!
Still going to say I would love to come help out with harvest!
Ordered my cap yesterday
Vactor... Vactor trucks are equipped with large vacuum hoses and water jet hoses.
Will there be a safety meeting this year?
Those water shovel hydroexcavators are pretty fascinating.
Never use rv antifreeze to winterize your sprayer, planter, etc. It dries out the seals in the pumps and is very inconsistent as far as protection. Just save your used antifreeze out of your equipment for this purpose
In Australia we call that machine for exposing underground cables a “pot holer”.
Welker Farms just spent time with the new Case AF 11 combine. You need to get Deere to let you play with their largest combine 😂
Who’s been feeding Onyx some MiracleGro? Sheesh
@nickjames73, Onyx is getting big isnt he?
Mom must be a good cook !!
Huel
My man always thinking of the viewer, saving content for next year!
copper pipe without insulation or other protection straight in ground sounds future problems.
Water shovel is called a hydrovac.
I kept waiting for the quote “gas man, how the hell do they know I got gas”.
Hi I saw a tic Tom and wanted to see if you knew about the grain weevil. It would be used in the grain bins in stead of farmers having to go in them themselves.
That Milwaukee pole saw is slicker than snot, ain't it? Buddy's got one that we've done faaar more with than it's intended for and it doesn't quit.
Looking for harvest time.❤️🇨🇦
We call them Hydrovac systems. Simple, safe and effective way to find utilities without risking any damage.
When you get done with the header at the end of the season take and put some old motor oil on the sickle blade, that's what we used to do for over the winter
I use PAM (cooking spray on my sickle blades and on my moldboard plow. No rust.
Project farm did a review for tire pressure gauges. Figure its perfect for you with how you struggled to find a good brand a few years ago
I can't be the only one who will cuss out hose clamps and throws fit to my self trying to do things if it's not going smooth. But we always get'r done and then I'm happy
when I started watching millenial farmer, he had one combine, and he would combine 20 hours a day, and come check his dryer every 4 hours. Pretty soon millenial farmer will be in his hot tub 20 hours a day during harvest, watching his combine and dryer on his screen.
Well yeah, he had kids for a reason! Onyx can work 20 hrs a day now
How do you know the real Millenial Farmer isn't already doing that? After all, we're just watching the actor that plays Millenial Farmer. 😅
Don’t forget the girls. The older one he’s done got started learning grain cart I believe.
When Zach started his channel he had a 9870 and 9650 combine. A typical day of harvest is still 14-16 hours
On a crappy cellphone video. He's done well. I'm happy for his success.
Hydro Vac trailer. Works good.
Felicidades amigo por tu video de trabajo. Bendiciones
The calm before the storm. Enjoy soon all hands on deck.
Holy smokes! Copper 1 1/4" gas line? I didn't know you won the lottery. I put gas services in everyday and we use plastic for just about everything, steel for pressures over 100psi.
I didn't even know flares were possible on inch lol
I got a call from the dean at my kids school the other day. He goes this is Zach Johnson had to stop myself from asking the golfer or the actor. Lol
I'm surprised that they didn't use yellow plastic pipe for the gas line
LP is higher pressure than natural gas so you can get away with smaller copper pipe which also simplifies connections. Basically it’s cheaper and easier
,, Also in this case the line going from the tank to the dryer is under full tank pressure, it has not been reduced by a regulator at the point of connection,, The dryer Burns liquid propane gas,, unlike most all other gas "appliances" that burn propane vapor.
Hydro Excavation is what he is doing with the pressure washer and little vacuum system.
Not always! A bigger bill is not better! Good afternoon!!
Hey Becky, what is the name of the security system that you are using on the farm?
I wonder if you could have run liquid from the tank and regulate at the dryers.
That's how it is
