OK, so straight up..... This might be one of my favorite Smarter Every Day videos ever. It has everything I love.... hard work, fluid dynamics, mechanics, control systems, nature, beautiful shots, teamwork, different people working together. It feels like cramming 2,000 pounds into a ziploc bag. I genuinely love it, and I'm grateful that your support made it possible. A huge thank you to everyone who supports me on Patreon. If you'd like to get the stickers, I'd love to send you some, so please make sure your address is correct! If you'd like to consider joining the "team", you can sign up at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday. Again, thank you so much for helping me make this kind of stuff. If you'd like to see the shorter video on the main channel, it's here: ruclips.net/video/7j1lMs7fcIQ/видео.html
Nothing like a team working in harmony...
I loved it! I would subscribe to a channel full of these kinds of videos.
i Love this contruction type stuff and what ever alike cheers from Oz what a huge job
spacex mite hire you to help build a building or maybe a silo rocket shell .
Well, this says everything I have to say. Golly! This video is PACKED!

@@markissboi3583 In Tas, seen a few 9 section spans... masssive.
My dad used to be an engineer for Lindsay and helped design many of the components for the Zimmatic pivot. He designed the slip/collector ring at the top of the pivot point. I believe they were the first pivot manufacturer to figure out how to mount it externally, increasing water flow to the whole system.
My dad did a lot of business with Lindsay. He was the inside sales manager for a company that was a wholesaler for many of the parts needed for the controls and automation.
I've just watched the shorter version and now I'll have to see it all again?!!?? :D
Of course I will and I'll enjoy it too! :)
Have seen the videos on irigation pivots on Laura Farms with her father explaining it and them changing the wheels and so. They explained how the pivot works but you showed the details and the switch, makes it all perfectly clear!
I'm right here with ya, was an absolute joy to watch the shorter cut, gonna have fun watching this more relaxed while I draw
@JustJoe73, hey, I am doing the same🤪🤔 !!
I think what I admire most about your content is how respectful you are to everyone. There isn't enough of that. And there should be.
Desitn, sir. I have to say that this video is definitely one of the best you’ve put together. Please continue making the extended versions! Thank you.
Seeing the pipes sag down under the weight of the water was a really cool shot. That explains a lot of those structural elements and why they need to be there. Drift punch MVP, I can't imagine trying to line those holes up while lifting 200 lbs of pipe, that's a nice technique.
Really enjoyed the uncut episode. Go "full beans" more often. :P
If memory serves, for 6" pipe/hose, one foot of length = approximatly 1 gallon. Each gallon weights 8.3 lbs. so I'd be really surprised if the structure didn't sag when it was filled.
Growing up, our rural Fire Department was the first one to get Large Diameter Hose when it became available. Putting out all 1000' of the stuff and filling the portable water main essentially emptied the 1500 gallon pumper, but it was great when our water source was not close to the fire.
The one thing you had to watch for was the hose jumping 3-4 feet when it fully pressurized. You wouldn't want to be underneath it when it came back down.
Destin trying to become one of the crew sounds exactly like a shy teenager trying to make friends in highschool.
It's awesome 😂
10:05 Old school respect was given right here. He took his glove off to shake your hand.
This would be a great video to show engineer students. Ideas are not easily communicated. Always make thing easy to assemble in the real world. Gravity will always fight you. There is always a better way. Get out into the real world & see your computer designs become real. Listen to the people building your designs.
Destin - Stay out of the drop or pinch zone & smooth ladders are slippery when wet.
As the first generation of my family on both sides that was not raised entirely on a farm, I really appreciate these videos. They mean a lot to me and - I'm sure - to more people than I can count.
this extended cut was fantastic. thank you for all you do and sticking to your recipe. Never change Destin, especially not for the algorithms. A sincere thank you for all you do!
Thank you for educating the world about farming. As a farmer I cannot tell you how pleased seeing high-quality educational content about agriculture makes me.
Never thought I would stay up until 2 AM to watch this entire thing but it sucked me in from the beginning!
Having spent most of my life in a heavy ag area in northern California, I had no idea how much goes into farming. It's incredible, between your videos and Clarkson's Farm on Amazon, I've learned so much about the process, and the work involved. Thank you Destin for sharing this with us.
Also this format really reminded me of Dirty Jobs from Discovery back in the day, your production value is insane! Keep up the fantastic work and hope to see more!
This video answers more than all my questions from the shorter version - even more interesting than the shorter one too!
I didn't NEED to know this much about pivots, but I definitely enjoyed learning it through this video.
Not only smarter every day, but STRONGER every day too!
I just started watching the video on the main channel and instantly thought: "I have to watch the extented cut!"
It is amazing how much work and knowledge is necessary. Great job farmers and great job Destin!
This video is so long it's seeping positivity will suffice for several evenings 😁
this doesn't have enough views! You should upload long cuts like this to the main channel too, i guarantee they'd get a mil views. I almost totally missed this video
Where i'm from, this summer brought an outstanding harvest. But only to people who had proper water infrastructure. If you are equiped, these are the good times! :D
You should get up go Minnesota and collab with randy the master pipe layer for drain tile. Huge equipment and a lot of science goes into it.
The best part of this video was seeing your joy in working hard and genuinely enjoying learning about how pivots are put together and how they work. Thanks for what you do.
This was a wonderful video. Definitely my favorite one of yours. Love the long form video and love seeing things being built. I’m amused how you ingratiated yourself into the crew.
Destin: Shows how deep the concrete post goes.
Me: Flashbacks to mining opals in Australia.
Whoa
Destin: mines opals in Australia
The application chart at 1:31:31 shows the immense amount of water in a thunderstorm. Sixty-six hours for this thing to drop an inch of water on the field, and a thunderstorm can do that in a few minutes.
So important for engineers to get their hands dirty and see the real-world applications! Also great to have friends willing to help out!
Thanks so much for this behind the scenes long cut. I always learn so much from your videos but this one gives even more bang for the buck. Please keep them coming.
I did lots of summers with my cousins in Indiana, and did lots of work for the local farmers. Mainly bailing straw and hay/alfalfa, but also including mucking out some very nasty places, and getting bullied by sows and cows. Loved every minute of it. I loved the focus needed to do the job right and stay safe. I loved the delicious fatigue at the end of the day, with a huge dinner and sleep to follow, then repeated the next day.
I love being an engineer, but if a farmer ever wanted help, I'd still want to pitch in.
you make my favorite videos every time yall never fail to inspire and intrigue me always
People always talk about heroes being police and fireman, i would argue that farmers are the true heroes.
@KeyDx7 , agreed. Cops not one in my book.
farmers are amazing truly amazing 👏
You’re usually over my head, but I can follow along. I’m glad you posted a video I could finally follow on pace.
You should hook up with the Millennial Farmer in Minnesota, dontcha know, during planting and harvesting season, there might be something there. He does soybean and corn on a decent sized farm, multiple generations and very cool to watch how things happen on a farm. Perhaps do a whole series on farming!
The sound at 20:30.... I'm sampling that for a beat. It's so perfect!
The laugh at 31:28 feels like it needs to be used, too. That's pure glee right there
I'm actually a reinke pivot technician I build 10-15 a year in Montana
I always assumed the wheels were driven by water and the arm would move as needed by how much water was applied. Thanks for the learning. Fascinating.
Fun fact: The original ones back in the 40s and 50s were water powered.
Funny seeing engineer getting out from behind desk see how work is actually done. I was there before, designing telecommunication routes, was asked if I wanted join crew to help install my designed route way back 2001-02. Ended up never going behind desk again.
Really enjoyed this video. We have farmland up in Illinois, and it was great to learn more about all of this.
yeah, this long form exposure of the process is extremely insightful. i'm so glad i can't edit my life, cause the long form is great! thanks for doing what you do
Thank you for adding the long version, so many good learning videos try to only fit in 15-20mins. Some of us with poor attention spans still enjoy spending a few hours watching worthy content such as yours. I feel smarter already,
I live in Wisconsin, probably drove passed thousands of these and didn't care to take a second glance. Seeing how they are constructed is fascinating in a way I would never have imagined. They just seem so simple and boring sitting in the field. But watching how much effort and complicated math/science and honestly even engineering it takes to make this simple thing work... its crazy.
this is such a relaxing watch
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve been curious how these things work for the longest time. I couldn’t think of a better person to describe it to me.
Great video! Very informative. I learnt a lot.
Desting is my favorite person on youtube :) Seems to be such a hoot to be around and also learning stuff at the same time!
Hey Destin, I build, sell, and service these every day. Let me know if you have any questions for future videos or anything you didn't feel was explained to you sufficiently!
Hi Blake (and others) - why are the sprinkler bibs connected to the top and not the bottom of the pipe?
Love your videos on everything, very interesting and educational. Ty
When i was 20 and 21 i worked for a company picking green beans from Florida to Wisconsin, we had 12 picsall pickers and 2 big case tractor. I got to see several irrigation system and i was thought they where awesome
Impressive where respect and being interested can take you in a day. More people should act like Destin
Had to watch it in 3 parts, but totally worth it
Loved the video. Would love to know how those harvest machines work
seen a million of things and always wondered how they worked. Now I (sorta) know! Thanks Destin
During this video, every time you said "And a part falls off" I thought you were at a Boeing or Ford plant....😂
You should really do a video about the mechanics of soil water and planning irrigation timing. It is oddly complex and fascinating. I would love to see a video done for those who are not used to irrigation. It helps explain the need for the tile drains and irrigation. Water leaving and coming to the same field. ask about evapotranspiration, volumetric water content, matric potential, and field capacity.
Gotta appreciate a helper who is more of a hindrance 😢
Awesome 😎 keep up ur awesome work we love ur videos
We need a deep dive on combines!
You made a comment that designers need to work with an assembly crew. They should also work with repair crews. I think it would be a good experience for both sides. I’m in the maintenance side and can’t keep count how many times we question designers prints. I really enjoy your videos thanks for doing them.
Hey Destin,
You're not allowed to fly a drone near power cables.
If I recall you must have a 200ft stand off from any power Lines.
Unless you have specific permission from the owner of the cable (usually it's utility companies) then you can have a shorter stand off.
I can't recall which exact FAA regulation it is so I do apologise for that.
But so far the video is a great watch.
Thanks for reading
P.s. if anyone is knowledgeable enough to correct me please do so.
At this point, it's a movie, and should be nominated for the Oscars!
LETS GOOOOOOO!
Absolutely fascinating, we have these here in the UK but more like a three-spoked wheel and no way the size. The thing I noticed was the teamwork, well-done guys, great job.
Thanks for all you do. Your videos are allways a good watch. God Bless
8:58 The method is actually very simple. The flow in US gallons per minute = 0.8 * (pipe diameter in inches )^2 * (distance in inches)
This comes out as follows:
From H=0.5*g*t^2, where g=9.81 m/s^2, free fall by one foot (H=0.305 meters) takes t=1/4 second.
Then the velocity of the flow is the measured horizontal distance times 4.
The cross-sectional area of the flow is the diameter of the pipe squared times pi divided by four.
The cross section times the velocity gives the flow volume per second.
If the units were inches, the answer will be in cubic inches per second. To get US gallons per minute, multiply by 60 seconds and divide by 231 cubic inches per US gallon.
Gathering the above together gives answer stated in the beginning. The table in the book simply uses a constant for all pipe sizes coefficient of 0.817 instead of 0.8.
Might you do a “love letter” to water well drillers?
I hope Mortimer is alright.
Love the acoustics of the pipes being hit together. Probably could calculate the length of the pipes by the period of the echoes
"I need nuts... Chris I'm coming in" - Destin 2022.
Holy smokes, just incredible! Thanks, man.
Thanks for this video!! I've been fascinated by the YT Channel "Larson Farms" and the amazing amount of tech they employ.
For that flow measurement, I remember a professor working out the relationship between pipe diameter, pressure, flow rate and the fall distance (for lack of a better term) as an example of dimensional analysis back in college.
(If you haven’t done one already, dimensional analysis would make a great video: It’s amazing and almost magical what you can figure out just by making the units line up between the inputs and output.)
I remember as a kid watching these get built in the cotton fields around MS. Also the days spent playing under them. lol
I've never heard an excavator be called a trackhoe
A 5ft bar jammed in the ground with pressure on the pipe works better then a hammer. And properly lubeing the gasket in the bell
Love that you go Mike Rowe.
This video is how I realized these are 100% where the inspiration for Eren's Founding Titan came from
The amount of civil engineering just for an irrigation pivot is blowing my mind away
Thank you again for all the great productions you provide to us, keep going!!
I have a question on these pivots and the shape they create:
When you showed the sattelite picture of these pivots next to each other, it appears to me that all the space in the corners between the circles is wasted.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use the land in a square, instead of a circular pattern? Or are there major benefits of doing it in circles? 🤓
You would think an engineer would have been able to figure more of this out on the fly . Thats where a farm boy has them beat lol
Didn't realize I could watch almost 2 hours of this. That was cool
stayed up until 5am watching this
it's halpful thank you
Was the water supply laminer flow through the pipe?
You need a full brim hat if you're going to be out in that sun all day. Your ears are toast and that'll mean skin cancer later in life. I had to have a pizza slice removed from my ear for just that reason. You're a smart fellow, wake up! Get Sun Smarter Every Day!
starting at 20:20 you can clearly hear the hammer blows reverberating along the pipe
In about 20 years those gasket that you put on each section of pipe will rot out and will have to be replaced.
Also, center pivots are a lot more efficient at irrigating than a lot of other ways. Saves so much water, and money.
The pivot knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.
Do a video on drainage tile
I wonder if the manufacturers train crews like Jose’s to put these pivot systems together?
I just watched a laura Fram’s video and she mentioned your channel
Yeah you should try cleaning the nozzles lol while the unit is running lol
Awesome video. Was glued to the screen. How long is the system when build?
This modern irrigation seems like more of a plumber's invention than a farmer's.
And if you're smart because of the technology that you use then everyone would be a genius because we all have smartphones.
You could devote an entire vid to drain tile man. It's pretty in depth in design and how it's put in. Continue the farmer deep dive.
Mortimer is the Quality Control Inspector
very cool video
I might have missed it, but I was hoping you would mention the different sprinkler head flow rates. The heads near the pivot put out less than the ones towards the end. This makes sure the field is watered evenly.
He mentioned it in the shorted video so I assume it would come up in this one as well but I haven't seen the entire video yet.
Im curious why they dont do directional boring?
What happens when it gets too swampy and the tires get stuck in places? Also what kind of regular maintenance do these need. Looking at a cost analysis of running one of these you would still need a water truck to water outside of the circle wouldn't you?
Destin "Is it fun?"
The crew "Nope ☺️"
ممتاذ شكرا على الفيدو المحترم
