- The MowerGate scandal is a major scandal in the United States involving 35 year old Zach Johnson the Millennial Farmer, farming CZcams sensation. The scandal stemmed from a bad starter on the mower and the pressure of racing mother nature fall of 2021. Ultimately mother nature and the internet trolls won. All jokes aside it was a busy day on the farm hauling grain, dead batteries and putting the John Deere Mower away. #FarmerScandal

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

By the looks of the thumbnail pic it looks like we're going to have a bumper crop of John Deere mowers this year they are sprouting up a little early from my experience that's a good sign of a hell of a yield
I hope you're right!
@Millennial Farmer get a digital tire pressure gauge. Master mechanic here, I have had one for 10 years and it still works. I recommend the type you can also use as a tire inflator, you can use it as just a gauge without air hooked up, but also, if you have your air hose hooked at the same time everytime....you can add air as needed
@@MillennialFarmer are you setting up an OF page as well it would fit in well in the comments section 🤣

Thank you to ALL the farmers that see this!!! You are Very appreciated and without your headaches and hard work we wouldn’t have the food on our tables!!!
It's a fucking job just like any other job. Many people work just as hard as your hero farmers without the benefit of having a healthy outdoor life, land and good money.
@@jedfra9172 Congratulations! You just proved you're completely clueless in just two sentences. You really need to go work a farm for a few years.
Doesn't change the fact that they appreciate farmers and it's more of a way of life instead of a job
It's amazing how many people try and tell you what to do with something that isn't even theirs. #mowergate2022

I’ve been hoping that one of these times your “hey you okay?” turns into a oh hell! Hops up and runs off haha
Lol
Those yankem ropes look amazing. Thanks so much for letting us all watch your daily life on the farm. I am eagerly waiting for a new video from you to see what's happening.
czcams.com/video/yVcR4UiND2Y/video.html
This is fantastic. Lol The Facebook comments from old days in their recliners telling you how horrible you are can get bent Zach. Thanks for being a channel that shows my 3 boys what farming is about. God Bless y'all!.
Zach, you have the greatest videos! I lost it when you told the guy " I have to go close the garage door that's open for no reason"! I love heating the rest of the world too!
I would like you to know how much I appreciate the role you play in providing the content and on the challenges in farming…….but it might not mean much coming from just one person and i think there would be more people out there that also share the same opinion . There is a brotherhood between farmers……not only those farmers in America 🇺🇸, but all over the world 🌎 . You all have to endure the same struggles…..i mean the high’s and low’s when it comes to the cost of producing a given crop…..so as to recoup the money 💰 out lade and make a profit that would go into either maintenance on the machinery or upgrades to make them more efficient and bring down the running cost which would lead to a greater profit margin…..so keep the content coming Zack and don’t listen to those moronic back seat farmers who seem to know everything about farming and god bless both your self and family.
czcams.com/video/yVcR4UiND2Y/video.html
Thank you for the kind words!
That thumbnail had me stressin 😂
Same 😁😁😁😁
That whole mower segment had some major Adam Sandler vibes. "Ya know you could of put the bucket on and moved the sno.....I KNOW" LOL
I know you do not have tons of content during this time period but want you to know when I see you have shoved up another video am on it as I enjoy your slightly comical down to earth presentation of all the aspects of farming and markets that you are servicing. Keep up the great work.
Watching you move your mower with the skid steer makes me feel normal. I'll put the forks on my JD 1025r and pick up my little JD RX75 mower, moving it from one shed to another so I don't have to make so many footsteps. I'm glad you found a good price on corn. My young boys enjoy watching your "tractor videos" with me, so I do appreciate new episodes. Thanks!
czcams.com/video/yVcR4UiND2Y/video.html
Zach, look into the “cat eye” tire pressure indicator system? We installed them on our cotton trailers last fall and they worked fantastic. Could check tire pressures in just a second!
Thanks for bringing us along! Appreciate it!
Great channel I enjoy watching your videos of normal large scale farm life! I can't believe all the people complaining of your mower sitting outside in the snow, go to any deere or farm/heavy equipment dealer 99% of all the new and used equipment is sitting outside in the weather.
I'm surprised a millennial would think to park a snow-covered lawn mower over a floor drain... :D
But were you surprised a millennial tried to mow the lawn in a snow storm ? lol
* Some* of us millennials have are stuff together
It hurt, but I thought about it
Enjoying u're content for a few years. Keep on setting the trolls off.
Don't be too impressed, he's had all winter to think about it.
I feel your pain checking tire pressures, I worked heavy haul and have had 124 axels and 8 tires per axel hooked up that's just over 1000 tires to check before a heavy move , fun for days of work.
3:05 clear violation of dog owner code - failure to say “BIG STRETCH” when Anna took a big stretch. Times are tough but we can’t ignore our pets when they stretch or yawn. Still like the channel.
Wow you pumped this video out fast. Seems like you were just talking about the mower scandal yesterday.
Zack, it's great to see you back and doing well. Stay safe, enjoy the hot tub.
It's Zach
I’m sure someone else said it, but when charging batteries in a semi, put the positive on the positive of one battery and the negative on the negative of the furthermost battery. It tends to work better that way.
They’re hooked up in parallel. That makes no difference.
@@joshuahellriegel3354 you would be surprised. it does.
It's called CABLE RESISTANCE / which alters the way battery banks charge - as a voltage loss often occurs in the connection cables between the batteries, PLUS - if there is any "fault" such as a weak terminal connection - you will immediately find it when attempting to "charge" multiple parallel batteries, if using the furthest apart terminals .. (any faulty / weak connection will result in the battery charger showing buggah all current flow).
just jumping ONE battery and hoping all others get charged as well - well - no wonder the batteries fail overnight - maybe you ONLY have one connected correctly, the others have faulty terminals - meaning they drain the full battery overnight - result 4k all starting power.
After seeing the picture on facebook, I was sooo looking forward to this episode.
And the lawnmower operation had me literally laughing out loud :-)
Thanks MFer and Mrs MFer for the video. Hope all is well.
I love seeing how but hurt people get about other peoples machines and growing up in North Dakota close to where you are I know how one or two snows can burry almost everything specially the drifting snow. My parents have a semi pit on there 50x100 building that’s 30feet tall and have seen drifting snow reach the top of it. I know you don’t get the snow like you use too back in the late 70 to Late 80’S but you still get allot.Love the content keep up the great work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 God Bless and Stay Safe
I feel you about the truck not starting, mine didn't either this morning. Mine was a starter, then a big air leak. Somehow the washer inside next to the big rubber seal (pancake) broke off, and the bolt pushed a whole thru it. It's been a fun day....
czcams.com/video/yVcR4UiND2Y/video.html
Zack I just laugh now. Watched your channel for years, then seen your TikTok’s, now back to the channel. So funny. Keep up the good videos between both. They all show a different side and are good for a chuckle. Farmer from central Alberta Canada 👍
That mower caked in snow is the definition of a coldstart😂🤣😂
For real 😂😂
It is generally a real good idea to keep the tops of your batteries clean. WD-40 Specialist Fast Drying Contact Cleaner can act as a protective layer, applied on the poles and terminals of the car battery and successfully eliminate oil, deposits of grease, dirt and mud.
Finally I can get some sleep not having to worry about that mower for the last couple months.
I love your podcast and forgot how much I love your videos! Thank you for all you do
That was really great loved it can't wait for next one thank you for sharing and your time was really great loved it. Never miss a video.
Surprised you even bothered checking tires and oil since you leave that mower out in the snow.🤣🍻🤟
I did it for the video...!
@@MillennialFarmer doing it for the video takes on new meaning with all the porn spam that seems to be popping up in your video comments the last week or two.
@@mramseyISU yes I swear I am the bot that reports those stupid things
@@nolansturn Me too, I just kept on reporting it until YT removed within 2 weeks
Your videos never disappoint
One of the best videos yet! Love the humor!
That laugh when you picked up the mower and started backing up with it😂😂
Hey Zach, mechanic here. Your Peter coolant sensor on the bottom of the burp tank is likely on the fritz, which is likely why your truck keeps telling you to stop the engine. Sometimes you can clean them with electric parts cleaner. Otherwise they are fairly cheap, but to replace you'll want to drain the coolant first... unless you can move quick to switch those sensors. 13 gallons is usual with that engine if I recall correctly.
As far as 99% of your stuff dying all the time, might be due to the private radios not being cut off from power supply when the truck is off. A simple toggle switch hooked into the supply line at the back of the radio should do the trick.
Also one other recommendation, weld some wingnuts to the top of the bolts on the battery box. Helps tremendously if you dont have an impact.
SHEESH
The sensors in these modern trucks are actually set to go off after minimal loss. It's very annoying.
Wouldn't be a terrible idea to have a Positive lug on the frame rail either. We have that on our freightliners, granted them KWs may not have room for that. Same with the Pete.
@Plyst3 that Pete should already have the jump posts on it. Most trucks come with them now
czcams.com/video/yVcR4UiND2Y/video.html
I tell children's stories at my church, one of those stories applies to your mower. Guy is walking along the beach after a storm and the beach is littered with starfish who will die if they don't get back into the water. So he's walking and throwing starfish back in the ocean. A kid questions him "what's the point? you can't save them all" the guy said "yes, but it matters to the ones I do".... I think your mower is already dead :) though you should, probably, save the battery.
The battery was all ready dead with his luck with batteries.
That ice cube of a lawn mower killed me when you finally got it out of the bank haha
Always good to help the neighbors. Great camera angles and moving the ztrac was classic “gettteerrrrrr done”. I think there was a JD corn head sitting in the snow in one of the shots.
Thanks Zach. I was having trouble getting to sleep at night with that poor lawnmower on my mind.
How dare you treat your equipment that you paid for with your own money in a manner that the Internet ppl say not to lol
Thanks for the update Zach. Had a good laugh over the snowed in mower.
just found your channel. I'm up here in Alberta Canada so the whole 'mower left in the snow' thing is not really a big deal here but I have to admit that was funny to watch. I always enjoy seeing different farming operations and I am impressed by your set up.
A tip on recaps . If you watch the tires on the front axle of your trailers when spinning around in a tight turn . The front axle tires drag sideway across the ground . If those tires are retreads , dragging sideways will peal the tread .For this reason only put retreads on the rear axle . On the tractor don't put retreads on the drive axle . I noticed your trailer has retreads on the front and new on the rear . I never had luck doing that .
Sorry but it's the rear axles that get drug sideways. The trailer or tractor for that matter, the front axle of the tandem axle, is the pivot point. On a tandem axle, the rear axle tires always wear out faster then the front axle tires by a ratio of at least 2 to 1.
@@patrickburgmeier7902 So if you stand by the trailer when it is making a sharp turn , the axle dragging the tires , don't put recaps there for obvious reason And drive wheels peal recaps in hot weather . If one axle wears tires faster that the other. It could be the axles are not lined up with the king pin .It is unbelievable how good a trailer rides with straight axles. Thanks for the reply .
@@kenreese2791 i know what you are saying about a super tight turn when the trailer and tractor are in a jackknifed position, yes the 2 axles are dragging. The front axle is dragging into the turn and the back axle is dragging away from the turn. And if you are on hot pavement, yes it is possible to peel retreads off. I wasn't referring to that instance tho. I waa referring to a gradual turn as found in normal highway driving. In these instances the front axle is the pivot axle and the back axle takes the brunt of the skidding. I don't run retreads because until they came out with dual tire equalization valves, the dual tires would heat up and pressurize at different rates. The inside tire being closer to the brake would be at a higher pressure than the outer one and cause separation of the retread and a tire blow out. Retreads are not worth the headache. Thank you for your reply.
@@patrickburgmeier7902 I used to recap my tires twice then sell the cores . A fleet of 45' and 48' dry vans hauling beer from Virginia to Long Island .
@@patrickburgmeier7902 Especially if it's a tri-axle trailer.
Are you out mowing the lawn early or late in the season, I'm confused 😕
The hydros on the skid loader sounded like Peter Griffin laughing!!🤣
Awesome stuff with the lawnmower and skid steer! All of this content over a lawnmower sitting outside for a winter. Very funny. You and Mr. Tillage on same page. Love it. Keep up the great content Zach. Always interesting to see how your farm operates. John from South Dakota.
When your afraid the bolts won’t come loose so you bring out the big impact😂
😂😂😂😂
Glad you're feeling better Zach, love you're died animal jokes.
Great acting, "Zach"! Your writers sure seem to have a firm grasp on realism, because everything they put in your sitcom seems to happen in real life on many many farms here as well! Bravo to all of you! Including Anna & her trainer😉
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
“Someone is going to be sleeping in the garage tonight” it’s funny because Becky is the one who edits the videos and added that in 😂
A recommendation... Use the "over/under" technique when coiling hoses (air, garden, etc.) or extension cords. This prevents all those looping kinks in the hose or extension cord when you pull it out for use.
Beat me to the punch. I 2nd this comment.
When I was doing stagehand type work..I learned this quickly. Its not intuitive and not easy to teach but is the only way to coil cable and hose imo. I've wrapped literally miles of cable this way.
Always great . Thanks.
Another great video Zach, most enjoyable while having breakfast over here in New Zealand.
You probably already know this, but if you leave that mower a few more weeks, you can pick it up without having the move the snow first. Just saying...
i had a tire gauge that looks like that, it grew legs so i replaced it with a digital one.
Just a heads up. If your old analog battery charger go bad, get it fixed. The new digital ones will not start charging if the batteries bare too dead. The parts place we deal with has had so many people disappointed with the new ones.
Just an FYI, some of those mowers have a PIP (recall) out for the starters failing. If I remember right it was on the Kawasaki engines. Also, there’s a PIP out for the ignition switches. Could be worth looking into to see if your mower is covered
For a non-farmer city boy like me that little bit of insight into the financials of farming I found kind of fascinating. I know it’s not as appealing from a video perspective but I think other non-farmers might be interested in hearing a little more about that aspect of farming life that has to be at least as important to the farmer as the agricultural aspect. Great videos as usual and I’m sure the lawnmower actually appreciated that blanket of snow insulating it and keeping it warm. 😉

My god, its about time you brought that mower in!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
Great video as always. I know thw weather is crappy but we need more content from you. Ware having MMF withdrawl
Trickle chargers need to be in the budget 🤣
2021 drought in western Canada, grain production was cut in half, our feedlots are buying a lot more corn from USA sources. Could be why you are hauling more corn right now.
There was a serious drought in several U.S. states as well...
Mt, Wyo, N Dakota , S Dakota , Nebraska , just to name a few..
I live in Tx , which is also several inches shy of rainfall...
But, Iowa , Mn , had areas of great crops..
Which includes the Johnson farm.
Almost 30 thousand views within a hour, so I guess I'm not the only one who looks forward seeing your new video.
Man, I get so excited when I see a new video up!
Zach when you were communicating to Jim about moving the truck while loading the corn, have you thought about installing a Simply-Safe camera to view the yard and grain boom. Then you would save yourself the time and exposure up on the grain bin. You could be in a warm truck. Just a passing thought I had.
We actually have one just for that but I'm a little old school yet and I want to see it with my own eyes
@@MillennialFarmer and eyes don't drain their battery as fast XD
@@prjndigo lol
@@MillennialFarmer ...I'll bet Simply-Safe has a sensor for your home garage door also. Sounds like it might pay for itself in a hurry!
Thank you for the video !
"Quit staring at me" LMFAO
If you need an outside battery charger, you could make one with a pressure washer engine, and a 24v alternator. Some used on JD are not too expensive. The nice thing is that when it runs out of gas, it stops, and you can't overcharge the batteries. This could be a good thing to use if you have trouble with starting equipment in the field.
This how people here dry camp. You have to have the alternator converted to charge more then 5 amps. Like 40 amp charger
Should put some battery tenders on the trucks when your parking them
No kidding. Should be a channel sponsor.
I've been following this headline on Facebook and for the past week laughing my ass off 😂 and did I hear a Vegas vacation reference at 8:10?
Haha 'Your staring at me" nope thinking how much I miss having a hot tub. (ok it was next door... till they got camera's I could use it haha) Thanks for the video - hope the family and you are doing well. Looking forward to spring planting. Tired of sub zero weather and not much snow. My poor 13 hp blower is just waiting to be used. Where is our 12 inch snow storms this year???
Hey hope y’all having a great day 💙
you too!
Zach - Have people really been giving you that much shit over what you do with your own equiptment!?!?! Thats absurd. ( As far as the mower or mini rzr being left outsite )
Not a ton, but some lol. Particularly on Facebook
@@MillennialFarmer freakin' people man...
This helped understand a little more about hedging thanks!
Don’t you holler at me young man, do it again and you go to your room with no dinner. 😂
Well deserved hot tub break. Thanks for all your hard work.
Yeah I was one of the ones that thought who fucking cares about an old mower when you have a couple million worth of real machinery to watch after people get hung up on some of the dumbest things
Thank God you finally got that mower in. I was up all night thinking about it. 🤣
I certainly admire you, Zach !! I'm amazed at the awful conditions you have to work under !! ALL that snow !! Being an ex-Rhodesian from Africa and now living in San Diego, I can't imagine what it's like to live and work under those extreme weather conditions !!
Mower……. Are you ookkay?
My last dog would catch mice under the snow, this one not so much. The cat even brings them in and gives them to him. The funniest thing was the cat brought him a tiny duckling I think because the dog loves squeaky toys. I spent all day looking for a duck family to return him to
---
Every spring there are quite a few cheap mowers that were hit by snowplows. I don’t know who the idiots are, the mower owners or the plow drivers, although often they are the same.
I don't let my cats outside for that reason. I also don't want to see them hurt animals in their hunting endeavors. Cats are a non-native invasive species, and should not be allowed to roam the block.
Ohio turnpike hat a bunch of cars damaged by a snow plow driving too fast, causing windshields to collapse, and injure the occupants. The turnpike authority and the state police are investigating the employee worked there for 6 years.
@@Farm_fab the duck wasn’t even slightly injured, and the cat doesn’t injure what he catches in general, I have to deal with the mice when the cat catches them.
He does fish though, and eat them.
@@Farm_fab I did see that video. The plow driver was going way to fast as I think even stopped cars would have been damaged.
What I was talking about was people plowing driveways and actually crashing into mowers parked in locations that were a poor choice.
Love the lawnmower piece. Reminds me of my brand new snow blower getting buried up in the Yukon, I didnt get to use it for another year
Always enjoy your videos Zach👍🇺🇸
Freakin Love IT! Never ceases to amaze how big a douche nozzle people act over shit that has nothing to do with them.
As a groundskeeper, watching a skidloader pick up a snow covered $10k zero turn mower is absurdly hilarious to me. Probably because if it had been me, I'd have been fired. But hilarious to watch others do it, nonetheless.
Use to work for a Deere dealership was the welder and yard person use to move them with the forklift all the time
Yeah I’m a tech at our Deere dealer we use the forklift to move non drivable machines all the time.
I’m glad to hear that your breathing got a lot better👍👍 just got out of the hot tub myself😂
Thanks man. I needed a laugh or two about now.
Being a mechanic all my life I will tell you that when you are all concerned about power washing your equipment and trucks you really need to blast off the batteries. The dirt on batteries draws voltage out of them. Connect the positive on your multimeter to the battery and drag the negative across the top of battery and you will see for your self. No charge for the lesson this time Zach.
Interesting: thanks for the info
They got all pissed about your mower but don’t bat an eye at the thousands of them on dealer lots that look exactly the same! Funny it doesn’t hurt the value on the dealer lot either!
Dealers local to me in Canada, don't let lawn equipment sit outside in the Winter.. I sure don't wanna buy a mower thats sat in the snow all winter long
@@Morpheen999 lol I guess I always assumed a mower would still cut grass weather or not it sat out in the snow or not. Sitting out in the snow would probably be the least abusive part of a lot of mowers life’s lol
@@ohiofarmlife4020 Oh sure it will.. but the extra moisture from cold to warm melting snow, to frozen ice cycles isn't going to help prolong the life of anything on the machine...If anything, its harder on stuff
And if I'm spending a lot of money on a brand new piece of equipment obviously i want it in the best possible shape
Hey I just remembered my zero turns still outside by the field lol I'll go now and pick it up with the bucket and get it in ! Thanks for the reminder !!!
Great to see you almost back to full steam! I got tired watching you so that’s a sign things are on the right track. I have to agree - nothing like jumping in the hot tub after a tough day working outside in the cold. I’d be lost without our tub.
Feeding the algorithm, cheering on Let’s go Brandon!
Trolls are non -mature baby grown-ups, who cannot accept being an adult and continue to act as children, so this is where the trolls operate, they are/ should be ignored/deleted/blocked, and not allowed to be recognized as anything that could be recognized as anything that deserves attention, and eventually will fade away, just like old animal waste, RIGHT ON ZACH!

Long time fan of the channel but it makes me sad to see this channel like that garbage comment.
great video like always what size is your shop
Keep up the videos. Great job.
I see that you have 911 fuel treatment. Look at some test on fuel treatment. 911 has one of the worst lubricating abilities in a whole line of treatments. Just saying that there are better options in my opinion
