Problem with slip clutches are when they don't slip... after a few years of sitting sometimes they rust solid from sitting outside in rain and winter conditions. Back the nuts off every spring and turn your pto on and slip them a bit to confirm they will actually protect the expensive parts
i live about 20 miles away from the woods factory, and its nice to know that one of my family members probably had some part in putting your mower together
I was wondering about that. With how much steel is missing from them would they be out of balance? Could you grid down one to compensate for the other?
Holy crap that cat dog is soo sweet and playful. Looks like she was checking out her new toy house while Jarrod was representing what's in the box. LOL
i highly recommend torn up highway mix its got crushed concrete of all different sizes and asphalt chunks as well it packs down really well into a driveway
For spots were the stone doesn't work you can put down hardware cloth and cover w/dirt or gravel. A little trick from Carolina Coops that stops predators from digging into a chicken run.
I’d save two of the best old blades just in case you have a problem and break or bend one you can use the old one until you get new blades the way things are now days it could take weeks to order new parts lol great video thanks for sharing
Great video Zach!! The new bin is really something, you'll need more land to fill it!! When we change brush hog blades we take the best of the old ones, touch them up on a grinder and put them away as spares. Woods sure makes changing them easy!!
I remember back when I worked for Florida DOT on the mowing crew. We be changing blades on the side of the turnpike. We’d have to find a huge tree with a hangover park under it. So we’d be somewhat out of the heat during the summer months. Changing the center blades. Was never fun. We didn’t get to just toss our blades. They had to go back to the shop and I’ll break down days. We’d be in the shop sharpening blades.
By the looks of the blade you may have used the mower as a rock crusher LOL On your filling around the shop sides are you going earth contact with the wood as not all pressured treated wood is for earth contact
On your shreader blades. Have you tried welding hard surfacing wire on the back side. We have and has lasted a lot longer. If the blades get dull, we just use the plasma cutter, which is a lot quicker.
There is a right and left side blades mine came backwards from the dealer install it cut like crap. When I got that figured out it is a beast of a mower I have the exact same one with solid tires
for the side draw the "spouting" for lack of a better word control the flow by only allowing corn to flow out the side spout from the top down, they are set up that as the level of the grain drops it continues to pull from the top at side all the way down, not just at the spout level. keeps your bin upright
Your brake problem on you Chevy is most likely a master cylinder issue where the rear seal is shot and it filled the vacuum booster with the missing fluid. That’s why there isn’t a visible leak
You guys are rich you get new locks and new shims. That DOT we had to make do with what we had. I wanna see who changes the center blades. I think I remember there’s a trick to do in the center ones.
I didn't know they made shovel handles that fit a Millennial's hands. That was very enlightening. I will have to see if I can find any in lower Michigan. LOL
Back in the day i used to help build grain bins i remember how fun it was. & putting in the floors but that was when i was in my teens and 20des. the good old days. Take care.
Little late now but hope the foundation/cement work holds up for that size and capacity bin. My friend just finished a 650,000 bu wet holding/drying bin and engineer for the project had him sub-excavate 12 FT deep and haul in new fill and run compacter every six inches. Several feet of rebar and cement too.
On our little farm we raised corn for cow feed. I remember when the ears of corn was getting close to maturity we would go out each day and shuck one ear of corn partly down and stick my thumb into the kernels. If they were too soft that meant that the corn isn't ready to be pulled for human consumption. There was a 3 day window in which you could find the ears of corn just right. If you skipped a day of checking the ears of corn the kernels would get too hard and it would not be eatable. When we got to the 2nd day in the 3 day window we would pull about 200+ ears of corn, bring them to the house shuck them . Some of the ears would blanch in hot water about 8 minutes, put them in an ice bath of water to stop cooking and put them in freezer bags and put them into our big 8' chest freezers. My parents would also cut a lot of corn off the cob and freeze it. Those were the magic numbers, 3 day window.
@@paulcopeland9035 He is most likely talking about a time in the past when sweet corn seed was not so widely available as it is today. A lot of farms would eat field corn instead of sweet corn I know we did that 50 some years ago. It tastes a lot like the stuff you get in the winter in the northern grocery stores. A lot more butter is used.
Had to chuckle 1:57 Pan of "nutritious" cinnamon rolls in the background and AG1 for a chaser! Got to have that balanced diet! Enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for showing us around the new grain bin. That bin is huge from the inside. Sounds like some projects need to be done yet with it before ready to go. Very nice bin. The bat wing mower got a good overhaul. Those mowers are nice to have and do a great job. Busy time with lots of projects keeping you busy this time of year. Busy work for a busy guy. Yeah. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
You are the first person I have ever heard say something about not wanting to drive the tractor in the side ditches because of the steep slope. That has always been fear of mine for several years now.
You know the parts for the batwing are going to work because they are barn cat approved!! I am sure that you are thrilled with the progress on the new bin!
The paddle type sweep runs slower BUT, you only have to clean and sweep( with a broom ) along the wall and let the sweep run around twice and the bin is all cleaned out.
A landscaper would've used a rake not a square shovel. Those old blades can be sharpened dozens of times. Sharpen them and hang them in your spare parts room. When the others get dull, just swap them out, rinse, and repeat for the next 20 years.
In the last year I've had to replace two gearboxes And1 Stumpjumper on our Deere CX 15 and MX 10. We finally figured out a way to do it relatively painlessly using a floor jack but it's not an easy chore. And contrast changing blades is a breeze. Although not as easy as what it appears to be on that Woods deck.
Wow I was surprised you through those mower blades away!! You can easily sharpen them and that way you have and newly sharp set of blades the next time you them. JMO.
You have no idea how fortunate to have a bin floor sweeper. I had to get into a bin to hand shovel the remaining grain into an auger. It was hot, noisy and itchy.
Catdog is the real star of this episode
I say 1.2 million subs we get catdog in the combine!
@@Noodles3535 Now that sounds like a good idea! Catdog in the combine!
@@deblarsen8528in the CAB of the combine. Let's be specific.
@@danl6634 YES! IN THE CAB OF THE COMBINE!! 😁🙃
I’m a dog person, and I don’t like cats, I’m even allergic to them… But Catdog wants me to own a cat
Give that cat a clipboard. Clearly an inspector or supervisor.
Clearly! She's always wants your attention, sticks her nose in at the worst time, & adds nothing to finishing the job. She's a supervisor!!
THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS
New T-shirt design idea? Supervisor Catdog?
Love seeing more CatDog in the videos. They certainly can be in the way at times, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the friendly farm cats.
Problem with slip clutches are when they don't slip... after a few years of sitting sometimes they rust solid from sitting outside in rain and winter conditions. Back the nuts off every spring and turn your pto on and slip them a bit to confirm they will actually protect the expensive parts
I've actually never heard of or thought of that. Thanks!
@@MillennialFarmer sometimes us AG techs have some helpful insights;)
The hard way to find out the clutches are stuck is when you twist a shaft
@@MillennialFarmer ME NEITHER
Why not just sharpen your blades with a grinder?
I like the fact that the equipment people are being proactive about replacing stressed parts to avoid breakdowns at critical seasons.
They can’t afford a break down. There is certain window in time that everything has to work.
Someone ought to send them a high-vis vest for catdog. Easier to see the supervisor
And a hard hat😁
I have never identified more with the title of a RUclips video in my entire life...God bless you, Becky!!! Bless you!!!
i live about 20 miles away from the woods factory, and its nice to know that one of my family members probably had some part in putting your mower together
We re-sharpened those blades many times, as long as they're balanced you're good.
He's probably not short of money.There is a lot of wear in them yet
I was wondering about that. With how much steel is missing from them would they be out of balance? Could you grid down one to compensate for the other?
@@dfarmer_ they usually wear fairly even
Holy crap that cat dog is soo sweet and playful.
Looks like she was checking out her new toy house while Jarrod was representing what's in the box. LOL
Great! I have watched your video over and over again. Everything here is very close. Thank you for sharing the video.
Nice bin! Get a local choir to sing inside before you fill it with grain…a bin that size aught to sound heavenly!😁
i highly recommend torn up highway mix its got crushed concrete of all different sizes and asphalt chunks as well it packs down really well into a driveway
We put down stone instead of gravel around our sheds. Seems to help deturr woodchuck from digging around the sides.
For spots were the stone doesn't work you can put down hardware cloth and cover w/dirt or gravel. A little trick from Carolina Coops that stops predators from digging into a chicken run.
I can’t wait to see the new bin being filled!
That dog-cat is one interesting personality, always following you. - Way to take advantage of the algorythm
I’d save two of the best old blades just in case you have a problem and break or bend one you can use the old one until you get new blades the way things are now days it could take weeks to order new parts lol great video thanks for sharing
Great video Zach!! The new bin is really something, you'll need more land to fill it!! When we change brush hog blades we take the best of the old ones, touch them up on a grinder and put them away as spares. Woods sure makes changing them easy!!
But why didn’t they put access holes for the wings so a guy could just use a impact then there would be no need to stop the whole thing from turning.
CAT DOG IS MY FAVE!!!! I WANT ONE!
Had a church choir have a singing in a new bin here in Indiana. Pretty cool.
I remember back when I worked for Florida DOT on the mowing crew. We be changing blades on the side of the turnpike. We’d have to find a huge tree with a hangover park under it. So we’d be somewhat out of the heat during the summer months. Changing the center blades. Was never fun. We didn’t get to just toss our blades. They had to go back to the shop and I’ll break down days. We’d be in the shop sharpening blades.
"I could have been a landscaper" -Zach, man who works earth and fusses with plants all day every day
I learned from the Larson Farms channel that item on the inside wall of the new bin you mentioned is to help keep clumps down somehow I think.
By the looks of the blade you may have used the mower as a rock crusher LOL On your filling around the shop sides are you going earth contact with the wood as not all pressured treated wood is for earth contact
You DO realize that the highlight of your videos for me is that CUTE cat and ur dogs, right?
CatDog! Is the bomb! And is Zac’s wing man 😂
Same thing on this video, just keep up the good work and everything will work out right.
Great video, You should invite a choir to sing in the new bin like farmer Derek did a few years ago, that would be awesome 😊
Kinda like a farmers cathedral. Love that idea too
Monday Evening, Millennial Farmer, perfect! ☺️👏👍
Love these videos. Great to see you and our food in these videos. It is a privilege to see a small part and peak into the process of our food supply.
On your shreader blades. Have you tried welding hard surfacing wire on the back side. We have and has lasted a lot longer. If the blades get dull, we just use the plasma cutter, which is a lot quicker.
Zac - save those old blades and sharpen them this winter when you have time. Saves some money!
Those blades were chewed up pretty bad.
There is a right and left side blades mine came backwards from the dealer install it cut like crap. When I got that figured out it is a beast of a mower I have the exact same one with solid tires
Glad to see video Pop up and Anna there to start the video. Thanks for the videos keep them coming 🙂
I’m happy to see diggé running in the background I had seen them in a couple episodes 😊

Very well said, Zach is going love this 👍!!
Save the old blades as targets. Makes a cool sound with your pew pew!!!
I love the AG1 plug-in, with the half eaten tray of cheese danish on the counter🤣🤣
Those old blades were barely broken in. I use a 12' batwing to mow my yard. Faster than a zero turn!
Boy that bin is huge. You should be able to put a few loads of beans in there.
That’s them boys that were jacking in my camper!
Your gonna love that paddle sweep. Coop I used to work for put on in a 300k bin 2 guys and about an hour and it was clean we used a leaf blower
Great video, as always, Zach. New bin looks Amazing. Good luck buddy
CatDog the professional photo-bomber 😂😂
Those blades on the mower sure were beat up. Had to have been from some rocks not to much trees. And the new ones work great. 👍 💪
You can mow the yard with the Batwing, just sharpen the blades first. 15:02
Your brake problem on you Chevy is most likely a master cylinder issue where the rear seal is shot and it filled the vacuum booster with the missing fluid. That’s why there isn’t a visible leak
We could’ve used a “Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!“ when you were in the empty bin or something. Lol!
You guys are rich you get new locks and new shims. That DOT we had to make do with what we had. I wanna see who changes the center blades. I think I remember there’s a trick to do in the center ones.

It's a box Dad, I am required to check it out!!
Seeing inside that new bin puts the amount of product you store into perspective, wow. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
3:55 cat MUST inspect!
I love that cat.
Little late now but hope the foundation/cement work holds up for that size and capacity bin. My friend just finished a 650,000 bu wet holding/drying bin and engineer for the project had him sub-excavate 12 FT deep and haul in new fill and run compacter every six inches.

Where is it that loamy they're have to amend that far? Wow
Nice bin! Well done.
Hopefully one day AG1, a New Zealand made product, will be available here in New Zealand. Sounds like a good product, would be interesting to try.
Wait what ?? You can't get ag1 in NZ . ???? how's that work ??? Its online ?
Ask chat gpt how it's made. Doesn't seem overly complicated haha
That probably raises more concerns about what it actually is. US food laws are less strict than New Zealand and Australia’s
That tells me more than enough.
Gonna skip out on buying from those guys
i always wanted to sing in one of those bins
Needed a Catdog tee shirt.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
I can’t wait to see the new bin being filled!. Give that cat a clipboard. Clearly an inspector or supervisor..
Zach, you can resharpen the old blades and keep as backup emergency if one of the new ones break.
Awesome keep it up!❤❤❤I love farming too. That’s what I want to be when I grow up and you and your vids inspirer me too do farming!So thank you.
There's the kit, and the cat -- clearly a kitty-cat.
so lucky to be on the farm...nothing more beautifult than that green corn field
Catdog wanted in that box and that's all there is to that!!!
Nothing like a good friend for sure. I have one of them myself.
Hopefully you don’t catch them kids wh*ckin off in your tool shed. 😂😂Always gotta love a good beavis and butthead reference!!

That's a cool old story! Zach's corn is used to feed the methanol plant, so I don't think he needs the precision you had when you harvested!

A steel rake works much better than a shovel.
and it leaves a nice finish
skid steer works even better!!
Another great video, I wish they were longer and more frequent.

I finally was in your neck of the woods. Delivered a brand new ripper to Midwest
You are the first person I have ever heard say something about not wanting to drive the tractor in the side ditches because of the steep slope. That has always been fear of mine for several years now.
The place is starting to look good glad to see you guys bouncing back
I respect his work, he always delivers quality content
I enjoy his videos, he has a great personality
That centre blade hub looks as though it may have worn bearings, lots of movement in the plate when you were loosening the bolt
WoW that was a busy video ...Nice one
Good show
Really hope your Bin system turns out better then the Cornstars bins/transfer elevator system stuff.
can't wait for the harvest
You know the parts for the batwing are going to work because they are barn cat approved!! I am sure that you are thrilled with the progress on the new bin!
That cat is so cute, he wanted attention. Lol👍❤️🇨🇦
The paddle type sweep runs slower BUT, you only have to clean and sweep( with a broom ) along the wall and let the sweep run around twice and the bin is all cleaned out.
We have a catdog that sleeps in pop's tractor while he's working in it. Just zonks out having a blast.
Your new bin is HUGE

We don't have woods batwing but we just barley use a impact and just simple and on center deck and it's nice and woods I might have to update to them
From my experience with woods blade pins, normally you need a 20lbs sledged and a long steel rod to get them out
I used to have a cat that followed me around the neighborhood like that. Sweet little thing, she was...
Thanks for the great content.
I'm sure "THunderstruck| by AC/DC would sound great inside that bin.Volume on max !!!! Love Catdog
