Also every mechanically inclined person who doesn't freak out and call for service every time something doesn't work correctly.

The nerves in your hand get much more sensitive when they're cold. Also, your veins constrict, and blood runs less to your extremities and more to your vital organs to preserve heat. This makes your skin more rigid, which causes pressure to be applied to these already sensitive nerves. So everything is getting less blood flow, which also makes it harder to make precise or repetitive movements (texting when it's cold).

the thing that amazes me is a farmer doesnt only have to know soil comps, and how to tend em , manage finances grants leases and payroll, but he also has to know how to run maintain and fix his equipment. its 4 or 5 jobs all rolled into 1 so all farmers have my respect for the amount of work and knowledge they have

I am from the old school. When we turned around 9 or 10, we were taught how to work...run the tractors, drive the the pickups. It builds character, physical and mental strength. When you were ready, you spent the day, dawn to dusk, catching hay from the bailer and stacking it on the cart. Then you had to catch it from the cart and stack the bails in the barn / hay loft. I was the one who had to climb the silo and shovel the silage down for the cows. That was fun! I love all the new equipment, and you definitely need it all for what you do, but good memories of doing a lot of manual labor. Edit: figured I would add I am from up here in N.E. Pa ( Lake Ariel ).

The best answer I've seen is, Cold weather increases the pressure inside our joints and extremities and our pain receptors become more sensitive in the cold. But, it's seems to be more complex than that, but I like this explanation.

I absolutely love seeing onyx working on the farm I bet a lot of people don't even know how too work and don't care appreciate the way you treat onyx God bless you

Taking care of landlords is an underrated skill that farmers need to have to be successful. Whether it be stopping by to chat or stopping by with an excavator to dig a pond on their land, we always try to be good tenants.

@@jeeperken87 I dunno why you have to talk about cost and revenue with the landlord, after all you're just renting the land and he's not your business partner. You'd be in awe with the ammount of money you'd have to burn just to farm that piece of land by yourself. It's cheaper for Zack because he already has all the equipment and expertise so the costs are not so huge for his operation. I mean... farming is a complex business so it's easier to rent the land and pocket the money without having to worry about with rain, sun, wind, tornadoes, pests, cost of oil, cost of repair, workforce and so on.

Great video hope that's not an expensive fix it's a pity when the weather starts to cooperate and then break downs happen

I used to help out on my granddads farm when I was a kid, he had a couple old IH 715, 815, and 1440 combines and I don't remember that old stuff jamming up or breaking as much as this new stuff does. Makes me wonder if the new stuff is a little too smart for its own good.

Good work on the beans and corn. I'm sorry that you are having trouble with the combines. Just keep up the good work and you will get it done. I love watching the videos about the harvest.

I’m not a farmer, but I watch a LOT of them & yes they’re loving the sump saver. Esp in bins that had some moisture on pods stuck to the walls. The sump saver chewed the clumps up. They said it saved them grain Vacing grain out to pull clogs out of the sump.

Thanks for the show Zach 🍻 🇦🇺

That was not good Zach and Becky that was fantastic loved it thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss a video and can't wait for next video to see how much this is going to cost and parts so hard to find is a cost to rent one .

Been so busy the past year that I haven’t had time to watch your channel. Love to see you still have that amazing sense of humor 🤣

Your Parents must be proud to see you all work together 😊

There are some cool sump savers out there the ones that Larson farms installed stay in the bin and replace part of the sweep and use the sweep motor and gear box.

Everyone needs a stunt double!!!!! He was an agreeable fella.

It always excites me when you upload Zack

youre videos make my days so much beter thanks for all the videos

Great video!!!!! Love the tease at the end leaving is in suspense. Ughhhhh!! Will the combine catch fire? Can Zach figure whats broken? Does Deere have the parts on hand? Will Dad take over the Honey Bee header? Stay tuned folks.

I'm sitting here 30 mins after the video ended waiting to see the granite in the office what's up

awesome video Zack. Sorry your dad is having trouble. Hope its doesn't cost too much

We have a sump saver in a 220,000 bushel bin. We pretty much run it anytime we pull out of it. But especially with a tractor you just let it idle.

after the introduction of the stunt double, the truck wasnt the only thing full of beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay safe guys!

Always nice when trucks take a big dump. Bet they feel very relieved

Love the videos Have you thought of putting simply safe cameras in the tops of bins that way you can check them was just curious

I wish I had a stunt double, I love your stunt double because it makes it look like your work is so easy . 👍

"These engineers really thought of it all" that's the first time I've heard that before 😂

Check the debris filter on the left hand side right under the augur drive system. We found that one to cause us problems as well as the engine filter up top.

Hey man, proud of you for cleaning that window.

Good show

I always found that morning-glory weeds choked up the combine the best. Never fails!

I’d try to strap a battery powered leaf blower somewhere on the steps so you can use it to blow all the debris off the header connections for when you need to trailer the header.

i work for a company that makes that housing where that camera was hooked to. it was cool to see our parts and what they do

Good video good to see y'all

Zak it might help if you keep a magnet in the tool box in case you drop another bolt or nut on the ground when fixing the machinery.

A microfiber duster on a telescoping handle does wonders for knocking the worse of the dust off the windows quickly. Note, don't use it if moisure is in the air. Also, an air 'broom' or air 'sweeper' ( I've seen them by both names) works great for blowing out filters.

Love the videos & always thinking of Jim!

Thanks

Ouch dude!! Any clunking is not good, but on new machines it's gonna hurt!!Good luck with it!

Ooohhh we got us a cliffhanger! Thanks for the prime weekend entertainment. Hope you got that green troll up and running again 👍😁

I know when I was a kid there were very few times we would have a service call where we would have a tech come to the site. Simpler times, fewer people were willing to go into debt on things. When Zach broke the shaft on the auger earlier this year I muttered to myself "Dad would have had the thing pulled, jigged and trued it up as best he could with whatever was handy and welded it back together with the old Lincoln arc welder set on nuclear. I remember one year we were cutting hay and one of us pulled a rock into the 469 Haybine and actually broke the stub shaft off the one of the upper crusher/roller on a Saturday. This was one of those older machines that the hub was actually part of the roller and not a bolt on deal. So the proper fix was to pull the rollers and install different rollers. I remember how dad fixed it without replacing the rollers or even pulling them. Dad used carbide bur to cut a V into what was left of the stub on the roller and cut a V into what was left of the shaft with a grinder. Left the rest of it alone so the break would act as a lock and center it. Then used a couple of magnetic triangles and a sacrificial hose clamp to hold the stub in place while he got it tacked. Then once he had it tacked in 3-4 places burned it in with the welder. Obviously had to pull alot of stuff off the machine to get access but he was back in the field mowing hay again Sunday afternoon. Was only supposed to be a temp fix. Well, we all know how those go. Ended up running the machine about 3 more years like that till he ended up wearing the rest of the machine out and junking it.

Thanks for another great video Zach. It was interesting. The machine your dad is using does not sound good at all. You inspected a lot of areas and it looked ok. Will be Anxious to see the next video to see what you found out as to what broke or not working. Boy did it make a loud clunky noise. Hope it is not too serious. The first part of the video was interesting as to all the equipment you must keep going at harvest time. Lots of equipment to check and fix and get ready for the field. Same goes for your bin system. Lots to keep going there. You mentioned in the video you were hoping with some real good corn that onyx can do the combine again. And his sister in the grain cart. Well, we know from a Facebook post that in fact onyx ran the combine and his sister did the grain cart. Extremely Proud of both of them for going that. Another farm generation running the family farm operation. My compliments to Zach and Becky for raising great young people to run the farm operation and do well at it. Like I said, extremely proud of both of them!!!!! Fine young people!!!!!!!! About it I guess. Hope Dad ‘s combine breakdown is not too bad. You all take care and be safe. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy.

Nice Plano Molding tackle box you have there. Manufactured in my hometown in Illinois.

Onyx reminds me when i was his age running tractors combines and semi trucks from the fields to dump in the grain bins.

Right under the screen, there is a button you can press that takes you right to the hopper to open it. The top right one.

The deep sound of the clunk and the green paint. Your repair bill is estimated at $16,898.87

How much what time or money? Time? Probably 1/3 of the time they'd be harvesting the crop. Awesome video Zach, stay safe out and about. 🚜🚜🚜

Hey Zach! It's 7am here, and this eas posted an hour ago. Always on the grid ic

That clunking is probably the chopper. When you raise it you remove the tension from the belt that drives it. It's probably just catching enough to throw the chopper and make that noise. The discharge better belt is on the left side under a square green panel.

Hope the repair is not too costly. Good video. ❤️🇨🇦

With the hoses for the sump sweep... if you figure 8 them when putting them up you won't end up with kinks in them. Same with any hose, cord, or rope.
