Most people in the world will never know the level of pride that one experiences when the older generation hands over the business to the next generation, if all things are as the should be. I would always talk shop with my father about the goings on in what was once his business..i sure miss him.
Legarms mentioned in another video that there is no good gravel at your area, and even the county has problems finding decent gravelpits. How many thousands tons rockpiles at fencelines/Headlads/Fields edges have generations of farmers stacked up in your area? Pick em up with an decent size wheelloader, dump them in a soild dump truck, haul them to one point, and hire an mobile crusher and an excavator with an hydraulic hammer to pre break the bigger ones. Free gravel, exept the hauling and crushing, and you may gain some acres where the rocks have sit the from the last 100+ years till last years rockpicking . other idea would be quicklime, loosen the soil with a deepripper as deep as you can. spread quicklime over it, ~ 15-20 pouds per squarefeet, mix it in, an mill attachment would be gret but some passes with a deepripper/polow will do the job to, compact it and wait for rain, stuff is getting hard. But quicklime is aggressive as heck to paint and equipment, if we have to deal with it, we spray the equipment thick with an conservation wax, and steam preassurewash it off later... not one of my top liked jobs. Or you leave it that way, and we can enjoy "Welkers in the Mud Episode 100+" in the years to come. @Nick look in the instructions of your ropes, they dislike UV rays for extended times, thats why the bag in which they come is black, so better build them a box(like the Larrsens did) if you leave them outside on the back of the BigBud, you shorten their lifespan massive. Thats not a Today-tommorrow problem, its a 5 seasons or 15 seasons Problem. best wished&health for all ppl involved, family friends, and edditors from germany
Growing up farming we got by with what we had available. That is one of the reasons why I love your channel. No fluff, no bling (except for the bug buds), just a great family and a great family farm. Thanks Case IH for sponsoring Welker Farms so that we can all see the hard work that goes in to feeding the world.
I see some Legarm special hooks on the front and rear of the stake bodies. Sounds like a great project for next winter. Enjoyed seeing the Bud doing what it does best.
I'm sure you already know but ALWAYS make sure that your clevis pin is not the "weak link" in the nylon rope system. If a weak clevis pin breaks while the rope is stretched out the clevis itself can become a missile and come through the back cab window and shorten your actuarial table.
That's why you should throw a chain or cable blanket on the line. The rope did have a slightly weighted middle cover. But on a big pull more is needed.
Spring fever gets you in the mood to get ready for that first day to get out and start planting but then reality sets in wind and cold brr.,Think spring😎
Spring thawout equals mud ,time honored fact of life , no fun for machines but even worse for the livestock guy with cattle or hogs in dirt lots , not to many of either one around today but back in the day it made a lot of work !!! That seed cleaning operation is quite a machine that's been evolving for a lot of years!! The old 46 is a throw back for sure !!!
My neighbor had a big pile of dirt and boulders. He brought in a guy with a portable crusher plant for two days and converted it into gravel that he then used to build his roads around his log yard. I have seen you guys dumping rocks in at least two places around your fields.
Mud season reminds me of when I worked in the ND oil field this time of year. It was actually nice when it cooled off overnight so things tacked up but then you were tripping in ruts lol. Good luck guys!
We had an extremely wet year in 2013 in north Florida. We stick everything that year! Sprayer, cotton picker and the peanut picker! I learned real quick to invest in a heavy duty chain! I need to get a big tow strap.
First, thanks to all farmers around the world for the hard work they do feeding the world. Second, Please use a tow clevis the correct way. The loop end should be out so the tow strap, chain or whatever you use to pull as a smooth place to turn or twist. Especially when using straps because it could bind in the clevis pin and cut. Look at pics of tow trucks and watch an operator use the equipment the correct way. God Bless.
What we have done in the past is to use anderson plugs hooked up to the batteries on the vehivles/machines and then made a set of jumper cables with the anderson plugs on both ends. No need to lift bonnets or risk shorting out on the clamps. Works a treat, and brain dead easy to use. Being an Aussie we find any way to work smarter🤣
For the back roads on are farm. We put a basic weed mat down and laid some crushed concrete. Worked out pretty well. Its cheaper than pavement and road base. And on your service pickups and the crane truck. Have you thought about installing a positive and negative battery nipple on either side of the truck with a tight rubber covers so you don't always have to nose the pickup closer to your dead tractors? We did it on are service trucks and love it along with putting longer jumper cables in the trucks. We went to Kenworth and got the battery nipples that are used on their aerodyn trucks so you don't have to take all the skirts off to get to your batteries.
Have you guys decided what to do with the Wagner? Have you considered putting a pintle mount hitch on it and getting a 5th wheel dolly? That will let you use the Wagner to pull trailers to and from places you KNOW the semis will get stuck in.
Being a farmer has its big responsibilties. I know it takes alot of work to keep the farm going and the crops tended to when it comes to time to harvest. Thanks fro sharing guys.
Nothing runs like Deere...except maybe a Big Bud! Augh yes, there's nothing like springtime in Montana. Frustrations galore. Hey Nick! Thanks for your video update from North-central Montana. Take care.
So I worked with my cousins on their rice farm here in Texas and if you ran anything out of fuel they communicated in a loud manner. Conversely my cousin drove a brand new pickup with 5 of us into in a canal and they just laughed at him. You guys take issues pretty well...i think.
Weld a 1/4" 3" * 4" rectangle tube under the front bumper from frame rail to frame rail and you go have a much more solid pull point I done it on our Ford Truck so we have 3 hitch receivers in the front so we can even slide our portable hitches into it.
@@williamuskoski1385 not sure if you know but most truck frames are half the thickness so yes only 1/8" thick steel. Now if you don't have an engineering degree I feel sorry for you but the spec I just gave on under 6' span can pull up to 30ton in the center and on the corners of the piece up to 60ton which outweigh the truck. You have forgotten to calculate in that it is a rectangle tube so 1/4" * 2 = 1/2" wall if you would just go with an angle iron.
@@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071 idk if you have ever spent time around big truck. The frames are like half inch or so. Go get a 50k pound truck sank to the axles and hook on with a 50k tractor. .25 ain't gonna cut it. I don't need an engineering degree to tell me what I already know.
Would a frame to frame weld hold up? Most frame to frame big truck connections are bolted, are they not? The frame rails on trucks like the Ford are subjected to a LOT of twisting forces due to the engine torquing the frame. I think a plate welded to each frame rail, with a heavy chain between them would be a better choice to prevent welds cracking due to frame rail twisting.
Cheopis idea is not bad but I can tell my welds holding up just fine on our 550 custom build ford 7.1L turbo charged on 37” rims with 20t winches on just fine.
Brings back great memories of mid 80es in Illinois on 1500 acres of seed corn and soybean very hard work before the sun and way after but always up in the morning to do it again learn to fix all
If you got to keep jump starting your machines you should invest in Battery Quick Connect Plugs. It will make it a lot faster and easier. No need to pop hoods or remove battery covers. Keep a set of the jumper cables with the quick connects on both sides in each pickup.
Have you thought about putting a quick connect on the trucks for jumper cables? Similar to a winch connection. Or just hot battery terminals that are covered until you need them
Funny that the most used engine in this video was the Ol' Chevy. It looked like you couldn't have done anything without. Really a great "backup truck" I really love this channel, even if I'm not a farmer at all, and even not American! Keep the good woork, and stay safe out here!
To make the yankum ropes last longer, make sure you put the yankum rope end in the curve of the clevis and not the pin side. Watch Ron Pratt from midwest truck towing. Love the video's keep up the good work.
Oh man the ripped pants lol - one of my funniest stories, I was having a rough week at work, I was working on commissioning an airflow system in a science building at Unversity of Alabama, and the whole day was a pain, slow work, bad meetings with the owner, and I decided to go bowling. I did 2 strings of big ball bowling, and the kids at the lane next to me were laughing at me the whole time. I had no idea why, my bowling wasnt't that bad... Paid and left, when I got in my car, I dropped the keys in my lap and they felt cold... looked down, my pants looked just like yours... Whole seam in the crotch split and I bowled like that for 2 strings - I laughed so hard, and the rest of the week wasn't bad at all
So I see a cool fab idea to since the Bud isn't being used to plant. I think you could put a removable basket on the back to hold the rope so you don't have to throw the rope over the rear axle. Just a thought but keep up the great work!
Ah spring in the Northern states. Don't ya just love it. The other day here in North Idaho we had sun ,snow ,wind, rain, hail. A small tornado touch down by Richland, WA. And a earthquake! It was a very eventful day LOL ! God bless you and 2020 !
Another project to add the list a set of HD Anderson plugs on your service trucks to plug the jumper leads into so you don’t have to pop the bonnet every time
I don't agree. To each their own. Too many jump cuts and music. It's better than it used to be, but still hard to watch sometimes. I preferred when he did it himself, but he can't anymore so it's understandable.
Hey guys another great video. Just a warning though, a farmer near me lost his life when a chain at the end of a rope broke. The bungee cord effect from the rope threw the chain through the rear window. Might want something to protect the tractor driver. Stay safe and keep the videos coming it’s great content!!!
Stay warm. You can send some of that cold weather down South it was in the 90’s in late March it seems like it might be a brutal hot summer. God Bless!
Since other resources are expensive, i'd get pallets and take them apart, char the wood (to protect it against water) and then i'd make pathways with the charred wood. A long run project, for sure, but i've seen this done on areas like mud volcanoes (not specifically this, those were pedestrian pathways, but they charred the wood and put it directly on the ground). And pallet wood is cheap.
On your Old L9000 Ford trucks you can put Tow hooks on them ,there's a cut out in the Bumper that would get to the frame. I just did it with mine. Go to Junk yard that has old trucks like that, I found a pare for $30, here in Iowa,
If you have any old lengths of fire hose, you might be able to slip that nice pull-rope inside it and keep it from getting dirty and sliding across gravel to help protect it.
Most people in the world will never know the level of pride that one experiences when the older generation hands over the business to the next generation, if all things are as the should be. I would always talk shop with my father about the goings on in what was once his business..i sure miss him.
This is where a grain cart comes in handy, don’t have to pull trucks out when it’s muddy.

Spring fever gets you in the mood to get ready for that first day to get out and start planting but then reality sets in wind and cold brr.,Think spring😎
Nick loves his job, and everybody is so happy to get started with the year's farm work. Very uplifting in these difficult times.
Luv that you guys use your own grain as seed, Think that more farmers should return to that.
Sounds like someone (Leg Arms) to weld a new tow hook on the truck that doesn't have one! Great spring project to film...
Great video Welkers
Spring thawout equals mud ,time honored fact of life , no fun for machines but even worse for the livestock guy with cattle or hogs in dirt lots , not to many of either one around today but back in the day it made a lot of work !!! That seed cleaning operation is quite a machine that's been evolving for a lot of years!! The old 46 is a throw back for sure !!!
People be thinking Legarms is strong, but dad pulling a seed cart and tractor like it's nothing @21:27 hahaha
You need to build a towbar for those trucks
Seems strange that you don't realize how many "tools" you have brought to the task until it is time to put them away!!!
How true is that!
Very true.
@Dick Shinn you also don't realize how many tools it takes to get the job done till they won't start all of a sudden
You could clean the surface dirt off, put the rocks from your field down, and slide enough dirt back over it to make smooth. A type of gravel.
Hi guy nice to see you again. I say thanks for all the work you do in the farming industry. Keep America going through thick or thin. Thanks again
My neighbor had a big pile of dirt and boulders. He brought in a guy with a portable crusher plant for two days and converted it into gravel that he then used to build his roads around his log yard. I have seen you guys dumping rocks in at least two places around your fields.
Isnt there a huge pile of concrete and rocks on the farm? They rent portable crushers to turn that stuff in to gravel.
I don’t think they have the time
@@cameronriccio6050 Sounds like a good winter project.
@@richardreid6377 you can't imagine what a pain in the a** it is to do that in the winter.
They would need a LOOOT of concrete and rocks to do the stuff they want to do, not really worth the time effort and money.
Even if they did it would be more profitable to just build new bins or move them to a closer more accessible spot!
Mount a trash barrel On the back of the bud to put the tow rope in to keep it nice. Any oil or grease can compromise its strength
welderboy525 yes
Yes!
Great idea... welderboy525... The Idea Man!!!!!
And make sure to drill a few holes in the bottom to counter rain/snow
@Brad Roon It's not that bad as oils and grease that soak into rope and slowly degrade it.
Mud season reminds me of when I worked in the ND oil field this time of year. It was actually nice when it cooled off overnight so things tacked up but then you were tripping in ruts lol. Good luck guys!
Way to go mr. Hollywood! I'm digging the chaos selfie style of this one.
A regular farm day, stuck, dead batteries and ripped pants. Gotta love farming. Good bless you all

I busted out laughing when you showed your ripped pants and said “sorry you had to see that” 😂😂😂
I remember watching your video of the seeds being cleaned last year. Man time flies
get your selves some old conveyer belt and roll it out under your augers and use it as a track for your trucks we use to do it in winter helped alot
Hello to the Welker boys an Pa Pa . There is nothing like spring mud to mess up your day .Stay Safe ,Take Care an everyone stay healthy .See Ya .
If you got to keep jump starting your machines you should invest in Battery Quick Connect Plugs. It will make it a lot faster and easier. No need to pop hoods or remove battery covers. Keep a set of the jumper cables with the quick connects on both sides in each pickup.
Perfect situation for a set of over tire tracks, like those used on skid steers only larger.
Think Red Green had a solution for that
Have you thought about putting a quick connect on the trucks for jumper cables? Similar to a winch connection. Or just hot battery terminals that are covered until you need them
Yes but would need them for the other pickups.
Yankum ropes did great. Good video!!! Thanks!
They seem to be really well built, beats chains and cables!
@@WelkerFarms Top of all, chains/cables heavy to carry vs yankum ropes.
Funny that the most used engine in this video was the Ol' Chevy. It looked like you couldn't have done anything without.
Really a great "backup truck"
I really love this channel, even if I'm not a farmer at all, and even not American!
Keep the good woork, and stay safe out here!
I love the work that the WelkerFarms familie does!!
Love your video's, because there is no cussing and fussing. I quit watching other people's video's for that reason. Thanks
Thank you Lou for those encouraging words. We have wives, children, grandkids and especially our Creator to give honor to.
To make the yankum ropes last longer, make sure you put the yankum rope end in the curve of the clevis and not the pin side. Watch Ron Pratt from midwest truck towing. Love the video's keep up the good work.
Those ropes wash out very nice in a 55 gallon drum!
I just love that Ford! Looks like a project for you guys to put tow hooks on the front of that truck.
Hi i watched every video you posted they are awesome keep it up
Work aplenty. May God be with you this season.
You guys need a electric mover for your auger hopper they work awesome and are on remote control

Good luck this spring guys, love from the UK!!
Great vision yet again, Thank You from Melbourne Australia
Here in Michigan the rain and water is relentless! Sometimes wish we had a lack of rainfall? It was drying out here for a while!
In these situations we use a grain cart. Like when we empty grain bags. Can then just leave the trucks on the road
Definitely need a grain cart/tractor to load all grain into... in the mud... to take to roads/gravel areas.
So I see a cool fab idea to since the Bud isn't being used to plant. I think you could put a removable basket on the back to hold the rope so you don't have to throw the rope over the rear axle. Just a thought but keep up the great work!
God bless to you welkers cant wait for seed to be in the ground again
Blessings on your family and crops ! Love your videos!!
Nick did the super ropes came in handle I enjoyed y'all video today. Big Buds #2020 season
@16:10 Like the slow-mo on the belts!
Ah spring in the Northern states. Don't ya just love it. The other day here in North Idaho we had sun ,snow ,wind, rain, hail. A small tornado touch down by Richland, WA. And a earthquake! It was a very eventful day LOL ! God bless you and 2020 !
Exciting times. Good thing you got those ropes when you did. I think i could use something liek that but alittle smaller for my offroad trucks.
Hopefully you all get the rain when you all need will pray for moisture during growing season. God Bless you all.
Blessings 👍
Great Men doing God's work for America. Bless our farmers .✝
I like that old Ford wagon. It's got character. Great video as always. All the best.
Seems like reenforced bumpers on the ford trucks might be a good workshop project. Put A frames on them and towing with a bud is a one man job.
That’s crazy videos only been out for 5 or 6 minutes and there’s already 1k viewers
Another project to add the list a set of HD Anderson plugs on your service trucks to plug the jumper leads into so you don’t have to pop the bonnet every time
Cool slo-mo shot on the auger drive belt.
Be sure to eventually clean dirt out of the pull rope. Push rope together while washing.
I think i remember u saying u dont edit your own videos anymore and i think your editor needs a raise
Amazing edits

My dad always used to say seed cleaning was the start of cropping season clean seed clean crop.
If it would not be for the harsh weather. Wow be safe guys
Nice split screen at 11:32.
Wow what a mud pit. Glad to see a interesting operation, and some hard working farmers. 👍
Lets see a video you you guys making some beefy front bumpers/tow rope hook up points on those trucks.
Your videos have cured my boredom when I’m not out logging😂 thanks for making these so entertaining
Stay warm. You can send some of that cold weather down South it was in the 90’s in late March it seems like it might be a brutal hot summer. God Bless!
You should think about getting safe-t-pulls on the front of the trucks. There are awesome!
We really do need good anchor points on the trucks to pull from
Since other resources are expensive, i'd get pallets and take them apart, char the wood (to protect it against water) and then i'd make pathways with the charred wood. A long run project, for sure, but i've seen this done on areas like mud volcanoes (not specifically this, those were pedestrian pathways, but they charred the wood and put it directly on the ground).
