    One of my past favorite jobs, cleaning and power washing the combine! Glad I went to college. After I paid my school loan off, I quit working on a farm. Fun driving the equipment, sucks cleaning it and when it breaks down. Even more fun is cleaning the grain pit and elevator house. Rats as big as dogs. My most memorable moment, combining beans on Thanksgiving morning and breaking an axle on the combine. Even mor fun after it started to drizzle rain mixed with snow. Instead of jacking the combine up, all we did was push the jack further in the ground. Memories!

    Thanks for covering us all in crop dust when cleaning the combine ;) Love to see the equipment shuffle, you went quite "deep" into detail Zach (that's what she said) :)

    Reminded me of one of those puzzle games where you have to move the pieces in just the right sequence. Been thinking about the truck battery issue. Wonder if it would be feasible to:
    1) Build a battery tray to hold both batteries kept wired together. Also with a strap or strap attachments.
    2) Instead of going directly to truck wiring have battery wires end in a pigtail with a quick connect/disconnect.
    3) Have truck wiring end in mating quick connect/disconnect.
    4) When parking truck remove battery tray with batteries and store inside.
    5) Bonus feature. When stored hook quick connect to trickle charger.
    Just a thought.

      It been studied many times and the "in between" farms are almost always on the best financial footing. The BTOs are too far in debt and the little guys are not big enough to negotiate deals on seed, fertilizer, feed etc.

    • @jeremyfreeman6108

    Nice to see you back on the air again after your little hiatus. Hasn’t been all that much warmer down here in Chicago but you guys definitely got more snow than we have. Really looking forward to that “farm financials” video if you can put one together. Not knowing anything about the business of farming I have to think that there is a lot of risk management involved. Stay warm.

    Working at a Midwest Machinery John Deere Dealer in the Service Department. I've seen combine inspections that have caught major defects that saved motors. we had one combine come in for an inspection that was found to have coolant in the oil. The oil cooler was shot and the head was warped. thankfully it was caught before it went kablamo.

    @peterzweck1763 Před 5 lety

    Hi all, new to this channel and new to vlogs too. Like MN Millennial I am a 5th generation farmer on a 2500 acre farm but down under in Oz. We have crop (wheat, barley, canola, oats) but also beef cattle and sheep (wool). It blows me away that we are harvesting at the same time of the year, you in freezing conditions, us in the heat of summer. Your harvest defies everything I know about harvesting in 100F heat. Actually November is early for us, but bad drought has us harvesting our pitiful 10-20 bsh/acre ( says me trying to convert from metric) now. I can tell from your equipment levels that corn and soy in MN is a lot more lucrative than cereals, pulses and oilseeds are here. But then you'll pay at least half again as much for the same equipment here in Australia as you do in the US. Anyway, a wonderful insight into farming in the cold. It only gets below freezing a dozen times a year here and that's enough for me!

  • @leegoldman7491
    @leegoldman7491 Před 3 lety

    Zach a little trick I learned while starting diesels during cold winter days, this is when you have no either to enhance start ups, take a rag and pour gasoline on it and have someone hold or attach the rag against the air intake filter the gas fumes will react similar to either and start a cold diesel, you may already know this if not give it a try one day just to check it out, good luck...
