Time to get the girls involved. Easy for them to get left out when the eldest is a boy. Girls make just as good operators as boys ( sometimes better as they tend to do as they are shown and not experiment on their own)

I am pretty sure he knows. Although, we were both teenagers ourselves and we probably wouldn't admit it to anyone or ourselves. Onyx is a smart young man . To me he is living the dream, cause he has his dad and grandfather. I really miss mine.

So cool to see Onyx stepping into his dads shoes just like zack did with dad. Love the humor that Becky didn’t obviously pick up. Or she was just did but was just putting it right back down. Love it guys!

Just a heads up, air hose size has a HUGE effect on your impact power. Use half inch line, and get rid of any restrictions like swivels or joints. Run it at as high a pressure as your compressor will allow.

First thoughts when I heard the impact gun was that it’s short of air. That 1” gun needs at least a 3/4 line and a big compressor otherwise next to useless in my experience.

Limp corn is so difficult to harvest. Becky is a hoot.

Those were the cutest little chunky kitties i think I've ever seen 😂 Yall are an amazing family, thank you for all the great content. Best of luck the rest of the way

Great to see the whole family. You can sure see that Jim is missing, hope he is doing well.

Zack, hopefully we can meet Mom sometime soon. We all know she is the glue of the whole operation.

Loved seeing all the kids in the video. Continued prayers for a safe and profitable harvest!

Your wife deserves applause for the deadpan jokes about the corn! She managed to just roll with that whole dialogue....she could do stand-up comedy at any club....if farming and youtube fail, that should be her backup plan!

Had to hit pause & admire that 9370 pulling into the shop. Man, that's a beast! Glad the corn conditions are turning around for you. Safe & productive harvest!

One thing I learned with them big impacts is if you hold the shaft tight in the direction you want to turn and not let it bounce it will hit harder. It's not a massive change, but it can make the difference between hammering endlessly or getting it to break free.

Amazing how much you are at the mercy of the weather!! It can make, or break, you. I appreciate your resilience of bouncing back and forth between soybeans and corn there. And I ALWAYS marvel at the farmer's ability to diagnose and fix nearly any problem with equipment. Thanks Zack, for taking us all along here and doing all the "doing's" it takes to get Becky enough material to make such wonderful videos. And she does wonders with that material. Thanks Becky. Love all you guys.

Can't get enough of Onyx's quiet efficiency! He definitely deserves a pay rise ;-)

Keep it between the row!! Always appreciate the videos!! Nice cameo by Becky!! Good to see her impart her wisdom!!

The love for family that you can see and feel on your farm is awesome and something I miss since losing my father in law last October. There’s something amazing about farming with family that can’t be explained or replicated.

You should use your finger snap trick to make the corn stand back up, can't believe you didn't think of that. You're welcome

You are such a lucky man. You have your family to help with harvest, especially your son helping out. And watching you and your Father work together is always cool, hug him every day.

Nice Bloomberg dig!!! Love your videos, especially the daily or every other day posts, so thanks to Becky, for all your hard work on editing. Keep it up!

Great to see the chubby happy kittens. Where's cat-dog? Good luck with the rest of harvest 23.

New grain dryer for us this year. The Quadra Touch really is a mind calming addition. As you said, I sleep better at night now.

Love these videos, and love this family and the rest of the farmers across the Midwest because they provide the corn that I so dearly love to chow down on!!

Zach, at 13:00 you were wondering about the impact. Are you running 150 psi or 90? Many years ago when I worked at a heavy duty truck shop, we were using 150 psi for the big impact guns because that was where you got them close to the rated output. We also had a 90 psi, regulated line for smaller guns and for airing up smaller tires, but we always found that the big stuff takes a higher pressure to get the job done. HTH…

Glad your harvest is working out. Keeping it between the rows, always.

Once had conditions like that. Cut across behind the down corn, make two fields, pick the gòod stand, you won't have as far to go on the one direction corn.

At least you're making progress despite harvest conditions. Nothing worse than down corn, mud, and rocks!!! Nice to see the family in the video.

Mrs Becky said she "Like her corn when it's fully e - - - t". I see what she did there. Lol

Just love your videos! Grew up on a very,very small farm in South Carolina and I have thoroughly enjoyed you videos ever since I found you. I've had two back surgeries so I've had time to watch at least all up to last year's videos and enjoyed them all!! I'm 55 and your videos sure bring back memories!

All the best to you and thank you for sharing what you share with us! Very educating and good contet, and a big thank you to your editor and Wife Becky for the good work she puts into your videos. Best regards from Norway.

We use the loader bucket to break loose our disc nuts. It's a Summer's and you get 2 big wrenches that are roughly 3 feet long. I add on a 4' heavy walled tubing over the 3' wrench bar, set the disc on the ground, one wrench goes on the opposite end nut resting on the ground and the loader bucket on the other end wrench.

25:55 Maybe next year you can spray the corn with Mydiksaflopin? Helps get that corn as high as an elephant's eye.

I thought it was really cool seeing Anna following the girls across the yard while they were playing. I'm glad to see that you're finally getting that corn situation under control. As always thanks for sharing the videos with us all Zach and blessings to you and your family brother.

Lots of new farmers that buy farms.

We had a Wischek disk just like that where I used to work. There was a wrench with it for the big nuts, We attached a chain to the wrench and pulled on it with a pick up to break them loose. OSHA approved. Becky cracked me up. I guess there's a blue pill that helps things stand up.

At this rate Jim might make it back in time for harvest lol

Good to see your family outdoors and i love the humor you put into the video Zack, keep it going for us in Australia.

What a privilege it is for me to see another man love and care for his son just like mine … my dad & I were very good friends all our lives … we never had a fall out … loved him til …. Still love him ….thanks Zach

Hey Zach, Thanks for continuing to making videos and bringing a little piece of home to my home office here in New Jersey (Just moved out here a few months ago from Chaska). I smell the fresh corn & dust from here. Have a good rest of harvest.

Maybe FBN has that blue supplement to make cornstalks stand up……

Thanks for showing us how it's going. Hope the weather gets better for you. All the best 🇬🇧.

You need a 3/4 air hose to flow enough air for a 1 inch gun.

Omg girl you impress me with your abilities and desire to farm. Keep up the good work. I was raised on a small farm and cherish every memory I have including when I pulled the toung out of The wagon same as you did.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Long, frustrating harvest = some pretty solid content! Sorry, I know that had to be frustrating, but we all appreciate you continuing to hold up the camera (and Mrs. Editor doing her magic!)

great video Zach. Thank you and your family

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. Lots of farm areas are like you, rain on and off and muddy conditions. Makes for a long day in the mud. Larsons had a combine stuck but got it out. Blown over corn is hard to deal with. Takes a lot more time to combine. Onyx is hungry. Poor kid. Fix him up some chow mom and dad. Growing young boy-ha!!!! Always maintenance repairs on combines and tillage equipment. You have had your fair share on the corn header operation. You and dad get it fixed and rolling again in good time. Hopefully you can continue corn harvest and move right along. Doing good so far. About it for now I guess. Thanks for everything Zach and Dad and onyx and editor Becky. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

Have a good rest of farming season

Always at the Mercy of the weather that's farming. Take care

How is Jim doing really miss him and I know you guys are good to see Onyx helping out when he can. I really enjoy watching your videos. May God bless you and your family and farm.

Thanks

Good luck with the weather and harvest.

It’s always an awesome day when millennial farmer posts a video

12:50 I think you guys just need a buffer tank. thats a lot of hose to try and get full volume/pressure through, sure its big, but its long. a couple gallons a few feet away with a nice fat hose will make a difference.

Have a good season even if it’s long

@ millennialfarmer I can now cross off my bucket list, watching your show while playing farming, simulator 22 while learning how to farm in collage

Keeping up what you got to Brother. Thanks

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!

Good show Zack!

Feeling your pain....we Beta-tested one of the first FMC sweet corn harvesters back in 1970 and elevator chain disconnects drove us crazy until we solved the cause of the problem where the head was depositing the ears which occasionally got trapped and unlinked the chain leaving it 30 feet behind the machine. A simple flap and never happened again but you're dealing with Nature's fury and that can be more frustrating.

Hope your harvest gets better. We have completed our beans. And have our cover crop planted and our weat .just waiting for the moisture to come down a little bit more on corn. But we got 5 inches of rain in the last 3 days

@deangelojeremitriusvickers6319

9 ай бұрын

We got corn done, working on beans now with just defoliated cotton. Getting litter spread for our wheat as well. Won’t stop raining on us either!

A camera can never do justice to picking down corn. I feel for you. Stresses a person out. You rock in order to keep doing it and videotaping also. Most farmers would just go nuts picking down corn. Way to not comment on bushels per acre, every farmer does not miss that number.

For that mess under the dryer, you could put some tin sitting up at an angle underneath it to get that mess to slide in one direction for easier cleanup. You could also put something on skids at the bottom to catch it all so that you could just grab in with the skid steer to dump occasionally.

Nice to see the wife, I know she is extremely busy also but glad to see her in the field… thx for the video !!!

I rememer last years harvest was super easy and you kept telling us how everything was going so smooth... You jinxed yourself.

Great episode!

Great video Zach, thanks for sharing

I look forward to every video you make. Thank you!

My favorite show on you tube. Thanks for sharing.

Love the dig at Bloomberg

Just a little tip. The 1” gun needs a 3/4 or 1” inch hose line. Won’t run at spec on a “normal” air hose

Hey Zack glad to see harvest is going good for you guys appreciate you sponsoring AG1 May have to get me some I appreciate the content you put out mean a lot because I am stuck in the city so I don’t get to see this every day anyways hope you have a great rest of your harvest and once again I appreciate what you do thanks.

All socket extensions are torsional springs and therefore soften the impact torque to the nut.

What size air hose was that on the big impact? 3/8”? To get all the power out of those impacts, they need all the air you can possibly feed them. 1/2” hose minimum and if you run a regulator, turn it all the way up as high as it will go. 3/4” to 1” feed line really helps too. You can also put a T in before the regulator with a high volume quick connect for a dedicated impact hose.

One Horney Farmer has a tool to quicky change gathering chains by compressing the spring. I recall that he bought his thru New Holland (Case-IH)

I used to work at Great Plains building gangs and the jig that they're put together in is crazy! The air gun is stationary to the jig because of the amount of torque to tighten that gang nut. Every once in awhile we had to remove one by hand and it's not easy. Loving the videos 📹

Great video good to see y'all

A little secret about your impact gun that you might try that has worked for me. use a portable 5-10 gal. air tank where you are working with your 1/4'' or 3/8'' inch hose input, and use a 3/4'' or 1'' hose about 8' or less out of the portable tank. It really makes a huge difference in the volume of air and pressure to the gun. Also run the max pressure you can to the gun within specs. lastly use air tool oil or hydraulic oil in your gun every time you use it. Try it you will be amazed!

Great shot back at Bloomberg.
