What sets your videos apart from all the other "farmer" videos is Becky's superb editing skills. So many of the other vids are disjointed, filled with obnoxious cover music and just not edited very well. Way to go Becky!
Adding my vote to this comment. Your videos are always "top shelf" product. Thank you!
Larson Farms is on par with Millinial farmer's.
The only 2 I watch.
Hear! hear! Well said
w/o his wife he would just be a babbling fool... :)
@@pinwizz69 Agree! Mike Mitchell is fun to watch. And the Welkers do a nice job. Ivers Farms in Southern IN is good too. But MF is the one I watch when I only have time for one. 💪
At this point it's just a matter of time before the two dogs and cat dog hijack the ranger, and ride off in to the sunset, they really do love to get ride alongs :D
LOLed
A remake of The Incredible Journey / Homeward Bound
I like your name Jim Dupont.
Will the dogs be using guns?
Spacers are there to increase the bolt length enough to get a "stretch" on the bolt when you torque it. The stretch is what keeps the bolt from coming loose! I actually designed the tooling that makes the bolts and spacers! Made in the USA! Made in Wisconsin actually!
Pressure regulators will frost over also
High usage of grain dryers will use more vapor than what liquid is making
There should be a disclaimer on this video that reads, if you are watching this video while dining in at Culvers eating supper, and Zach randomly says our pets heads are falling off, expect people to look at you weird when it looks like you are crying because you are laughing that hard. Keep up the great job and happy harvest
🤣🤣 my work is complete!
"I mean what are we doing here Harry?"
Best part of the video!!! I found myself laughing!
Thank you Becky! You do a great job editing these videos. Much appreciated.🎃
Yuuup Becky, you do a GREAT job editing Zach's videos - thank you !!,,
Thank you for explaining everything in laymen’s terms. None of my relatives farm any longer and I miss that type of life. Your videos and others that post give me my fix. Thanks Zach Becky Dad Kids, dogs and cat/dog for sharing your lives with us.
Wow! That performance brought a tear to my eye. Amazing vocals, perfect pitch. Just amazing!! It's a good thing for you if farming doesn't work out you can always launch your vocal career.
I CANNOT believe how much quieter the new blower setup is holy cow. Good deal👍
You can actually carry a conversation there on video no less and have it still be intelligible.
It's SO MUCH quieter! And the tone of it doesn't hurt my ears
come on folks..Anna needs a ride in the combine...lets get this channel to 1 million!!
The cat-dog must get into the cab. It is a warrior at heart.
Zach, if you want to know if a bolt is sae or metric, look at the top of the head. Almost any metric bolt will have a number cast into it, sae will only have dashes on them.
Good catch by your grain cart driver to notice those bolts!
Thank you Mrs Millennial for editing these videos. You’re awesome and I love watching the videos.
Zack the reason for long bolts and spacers is at spec torque the longer bolt will stretch more and provide a higher clamping force learned that in Cat service training.
2:23 The look that Ditch gives you. 😁
I'm not even a farmer but I watch everyone of you're videos. You're day to day routines and quirks of everything going wrong and right somehow relate to my life. But great to see how you guys all pull together to get things done. Keep making the great and entertaining videos.
almost, ALMOST. Almost had the scene where the wheels came off!! Good thing there are so dang many there. WOW, you had a LOT of machinery working out there. Amazing!! Thanks Zack, for showing us how it works there. Great video. (thanks Becky)
I love your dogs and their willingness to be with you.
For those of us watching in Celsius zones, 15F is near -10C. Becky if were bored with nothing much on a splash comment with the conversion would be cool. Oh and another top tip for you, tie a broom to your back and you could sweep as you rush around doing all the other jobs 😁
On the farm, it seems like we always had at least one helper kitty that liked to hang out with the people...and demand petting while we were trying to get work done😂
Just a thought. If you mounted an air jet, operated from below, pointed at the camera from the side, you could blow off the dust when you need to see in your bin.
Plus adding camera's inside of the grain bin introduces another ignition source up in the area of floating dust.
So great, the sheer amount of content you guys are pushing out. I love popping onto YT and seeing a new upload from you guys!
Regarding the wheel spacer on the wheel bolts... that so the bolt can be 1.5” longer than needed to stretch and provide more clamp load on the rim. (When properly torqued)
Had a dual fall off my combine this harvest and dealer had to come out and put it back on, sheared all the Bolts off and they said it was likely that the wheel studs were loose from the paint on the mating surface of the wheel chipping away. They said they always grind the paint off on new machines or new wheels and they don't have any issues after that. Just something to take into consideration!
We had hopes of being done with corn this week. We only got about 20 acres picked today, and the bearing in the bottom of the vertical part of the unloading auger shelled out.
wrenching and hammering in the morning and I hope the bearing is readily available.
Spacers are used so a longer bolt can be used so there is more stretch length for more tension.
Amazing to see what goes on in the field and behind the scenes, when the harvester is out in the field. Thank you for sharing what you do, truly have enjoyed watching these.
I'm so glad catdog got in the show today. 🤣
The spacer is there to create extra length for a longer bolt.
The longer the bolt the more stretch under torque the bolt will have. The more stretch it has under load the less likely it will back off and run loose.
But for some reason Deere struggles with combine duals staying on 🤦♂️
Eve 6 - Inside Out! Love that song
I had both left tires fall off the same combine a couple years ago. All the bolts loosened up and sheared off. It's a know defect on those S series combines. Got some crazy pictures from that incident.
the spacer on the bolts is to allow the bolts to flex a little
The spacer on the wheel bolts allows more length between the threaded hole and the head so the bolt can stretch more and hopefully stay tight longer
Standard bolts have lines or markings on them. Metric have numbers on the head.
they make cameras with tiny windshield wipers... and separate enclosures with windshield wipers...
In the heavy logging equipment program I went through we only ever used high temperature grease because there was one machine that required it on its cutting blade and we didn’t want to risk someone using the wrong grease in that one machine.
FYI SAE bolts have hashes on the head to indicate grade whereas Metric bolts have numbers stamped on the head to indicate class.
I like your dad a lot Zac. Your whole family is alright too!
The happiness you bring to people who are sad is fundamental thank you
Key pad for tarp is shot we have had 2 go out now on our trailers same thing. New ones have little box that encloses em.
We had wheel bolts get loose this season too. Local tire shop apparently didn't tighten them enough when they put them on last...
Its amazing how great you sound singing with no volume
Zach, your Dad mentioned Elbow Lake. My grandpa was married there in 1905. His dad is buried in Barrett Cemetery. There is a large plot there (Sethney), where several are also buried. His generation came to America from Vestre Toten, Norway (100+ mi. NNE of Oslo). I don’t know why I shared that, but, it felt good to do so. Enjoy it.
Everybody say it with me Veesteee Tootin, good hardworking Norweigan immigrants I'm sure thanks for sharing Math.
My Norwegian family ended up just NW of Fargo, I think they came from "Hegge" Norway. 3 brothers, 16 17 and 18. The two eldest died somewhere in central MN, on route to Fargo. Only the youngest made it. Thank you for sharing.
I remember going through Elbow Lake on the way to Fisher... Visiting the in-laws at the time. They should make a smaller dot on the map for Fisher, the little one they have on the map now makes it look big. Haha
the spacers on your combine wheel studs are to increase the effective clamping load of each bolt. in applications where short bolts are required, using a spacer and a longer bolt allows the bolt to stretch/flex more before before breaking. great videos, keep them coming.
Combine has bolts? Not mounted studs? I'm asking
the spacer is to make the joint stiffer than the bolt so the bolt is always under tension and it cant loosen to vibration
Bingo - What he said ^^^^^^^^^^
Always enjoy your videos. You are one of the reasons I started my channel
Your dad is amazing - Jim too. Makes you a v lucky person ...
I dig the look of the new corn head when it's folded...looks intimidating, in a mutant kind of way.
We also used to buy our grease by 55 gallon drums as well as the 3 different oils we used (Petrol engine, Diesel engine and old Kero burner tractors/windmill pumps etc.
Zack, your dad is getting along great after his knee surgery last year. Thought about it in the last video as he got out of the combine.
We use Mystik grease in every machine we have. The high temp/high pressure full synthetic is our flavor. We have ovens, melters, shakers, etc in the foundry and the stuff just works.
Hey man I’m from the north east and we get pretty cold winters but 15 degrees in October is freaking cold brotha you don’t have to sugar coat it.. you guys are the toughest working class around.. props to your family farm
We have the same tarp and hopper door setup on one of our semis, I have found that if you hold the open and close buttons at the same time until the red light shows, then do the same for one on the hoppers, and the green light and system works. It the un plug and re plug for that lol
Born and raised in Wisconsin, can confirm that 15 degrees F is "balmy" weather. My brother and I used to ride our bikes through slush and snow wearing shorts and tshirts when the temperature was only 40 degrees out. It had been so cold for so long that 40 felt like a heat wave :)
Sure 40 degrees in the spring time is a heat wave, like you said shorts and t-shirt weather. Even 15 degrees with no wind is is nice in late winter, but 15* in the fall is dam cold especially when this fall as we have had a warm one here in the northland.
@@richardlug6139 I agree it is bitterly cold at that temp, especially with the wind cutting through your clothing. We had a wood stove for heat and my brother and I spent many miserable hours trudging through the snow and ice to haul in from the woodshed.
"And our PETS Heads are Falling OFF!" Lol.. that was beautiful.
Hey Zach, a little tip for future you to tell the difference for a standard and a metric bolt a standard has those lines that you have on top a metric will have a number on top usually like 5.5 6.5 something like that.
Finally the combining footage I have been waiting for! Great stuff! Thank you so much for the coverage!
Sure do appreciate what you do and show us.
The Millennial is finally available in 4k, it should be hashtagged!
I always enjoy all the work you, dad, and Jim along with others put into the farm...let's not forget your wife Becky who's doing all that editing!
FYI Standard thread bolts have the dashes 3 for grade 5 and 6 for grade 8. Metric have a 8.8 10.8 or 12.8 stamped on the head.
It amazes you how they can build folding corn headers... And I'm amazed how there are still fixed corn headers around, cause in Italy I've never seen one. We only have folding headers.
Between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska and areas to the south I manage land in, we had corn anywhere from 25 to 54 bushel beans and corn that ranged from 94 to 217 bushel. All dryland, around 10" or more less than last year. Hail storms hit some of the area in june around V4 in corn after it dried we didnt' see much of anything for rainfall. The cracks in the ground are wide enough to put your hand in and go down feet plural. A garden hose in our hard will go down at least 18" and run for multiple minutes without ever seeing the water. Crop scout in late August said we had little to no moisture at the 3 foot level.
Zack, Try sticking a zip tie in the electrical socket on the trailer with the plug in it. Make a loop, stick the power cable thru that and shove the tip into the trailer plug. That should keep it steady in the plug.
About the cameras in the grain bins. Build a little plexiglass box for them to sit in? Keep the dust off the cameras
Carhartt bibs are a lot warmer then Long underwear. Easy to get out of if you get too warm.
Zack, you are a great guy on that camera I Enjoy your content ,you have great tapping Skill ! Happy holloween 👻
Love the content ad always. I miss farming. 😞
Song was Eve Six, Inside Out.
The spacers are to help the bolts stay tighter as the bolt is longer and has more stretch as the wheel load on the bolts comes and goes as you go in dips and wash outs
I've got a titanium cage, 2 plates and and 4 screws and they are very good at pulling the cold in
Just install lense wipers like a car windshield wiper duh!!! So simple!! Gets the blood pumping during harvest!! Love the stairs on our bins too way better than going up and down ladders!!!
Zach.... It's amazing how much your son looks like your father... I love to see those two generations hanging out together on the farm!!
Great video again . The 780 we run can have the same problem with wheel studs so we tighten them once a week.
Keep up the good hard work I got to drive a case it 8250 with down spot and it was hard to unload on the go
If you used the right sort of seeds, could you make popcorn in that heater? Like fill up the bin with popcorn?
Best farming channel I have ever found on RUclips🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just can't believe that you're not at a million subscribers right now I kind of like to see Anna get a ride and some of that equipment that'd be great you guys take care of God bless great videos Zach
Thank u for the Celsius to make it easier boiling point of water 100C freezing 0C at sea level
dewalt does about 350 ft lbs depending on how used it is.
I think at 1 mill you should be taking Dig on the tractor ride too....I think with her liking the side by side now they would both love the tractor.
Our Pets Heads are falling off lol! Love some Dumb and Dumber movie references. 🤪
We did a test section of our corn with the combine..41%...we hand roll at 28%...so in the very good corn there is a 2nd cob that the plant shut down prematurely and then got hit with early frost... it's rubber...and bringing the whole sample moisture up...the last time we had this was 2014 in one small field. We will have 1000ac of this stuff to do...
if I am not layered up with clothes I can't tolerate 15° anymore, especially in my fingers. More power to you guys and thanks for all you do
Long day but rewarding.👍❤️🇨🇦
If the propane lines freezing is a recurring problem, you could consider adding heat trace to the lines
Really like your videos.. between u and mike mitchell in canada keeps my night busy
Two amazing movie quotes to day 😂. Comedy classic’s.
Zack, The bolts are metric and the spacers are so the bolt has little stretch when it is torqued proper. (JD Harvester worker)
Lip sinking is row row your red combine if front or the neighbors green one because he's paused harvest do to replacement of missing bolts
I would imagine that those sleeves are to make the bolts stretch a bit from that area to generate more force to clamp down the bolts. That would be my best guess
Ditch. What a random great name for that dog. It fits that dog lol
Heard you say cameras would dust over with in minuets in the grain bins. They'll come a time where you kids will have to climb the ladders. You and your Dad will be grounded! Before that, could you install a compresser near the bin's and put a manifold on it with 1/4" lines running to each bin to where you would put a camera? Control each line with a solenoid on each leg on the manifold. Have them controled where ever you would watch a screen. Push a button to blast the lens clear of the dust enough to see what is going on. It would be a much easier step to take.
Seems like WE'RE little stuck at 948k subs.

Dankie vir die video... 🤠🇿🇦
Just noticed you are up to 950k! Mabey Anna can get that ride soon. 🐕🚜😁
You need to get a couple grain gauge indicators on each ring on yr wet bin. They are worth the money.
Yea for Ray making an appearance!
You can tell by the marking on the bolt head if they're SAE or metric and what grade. The lines on your bolt heads indicate they are grade 8 SAE. Metric bolts would be stamped with class 8.8/10.9/12.9 etc rather than the series of diagonal lines.
So crazy that you guys are not too far from us up here in North Dakota, and yet our yields were pretty good. We had one of the best years for wheat at our place we've had in years.
i believe the correct torque specks for that particular appliance is 4 ugga duggas
Why dont you get some of those mechanical bin sensors. They mount on the side of the bin and when they have grain on them they flip to show the level is atleast that high, and flip back when the level drops down and theres no grain on it. No wires, no sensors, no cameras, just gotta look at it
