That would be awesome. Especially if a mower snow thrower and front blade were the available attachments but were only designed for front use somewhat like those ventrac things. Couldnt imagine there would be much room with 4 track units and itd just be cool!
Zack, your “you okay, alright?” Cracks me up every time! Also, as a US Navy Veteran, thanks for helping out farmer veterans get a start in farming !! 🇺🇸 ⚓️
You should start videoing more of the work that gets done to the race cars. Would be really interesting to see more behind the scenes and races with that between the planting and harvesting seasons
Hey zack I was ten and mowing the back lawn of our house on an old ride on snapper that’s was from the 70’s prob. Anyway I fell off and it ran my leg over and hamburgered it, my stepdad was a urologist and surgeon in my hometown and had another surgeon come in and do the surgery’s on my leg(7) they saved it but I’ve had lots of issues. Please just be careful with onyx on the mower, I know modern Mowers have shut offs when u stand up, but I just thought I’d share my pain as a kind of reminder of the danger. Which I’m sure u understand better than most being a farmer. You are a great dad and I’m sure you’ve taught him very well so he’ll be fine! Thanks for all you do to tell the world how badly we need you!! And how utterly important farmers are to our country! 👊😎🇺🇸🍀
Days of Thunder is one of the best movies made in my opinion. "I want you to go back out there and hit the pace car" is one of my favorite scenes. Haha
I sure am glad that you take the time to include your children from time to time in your video's. They appear to be great kids and they love their daddy and the attention that he provides for them.
We’ve had a frost on our pinto beans before in June. Thought it was a total loss. It ended up being one of our best yielding fields. I’ve never raised soybeans, but beans in general respond well to stress, just have to be stressed at the right time.
I grew up mowing with a GT235. It was our third lawn tractor since I was a kid and our first John Deere. I just bought Deere’s replace of the GT235, an X380 last month. Now I get to mow my own property and take my kids on tractor rides just like when I was a kid.
Went to a party years ago by Royalton mn .mosquitoes the mn state bird were crazy guy pulled his lawn tractor out of the shed dumped some oil in gas fired it up ran off the skeeters we gagged a little. Wind blew smoke away skeeters were back.Oh well pass me another beer.
Thanks for mentioning the Farmer Veteran Coalition, seems like a real good way to 'pay it forward'. In these uncertain times we can always use a broader farmer base. Helping those who have proven themselves over and over is a no brainer. Thanks again Zach z PS as much as you cheerlead for that green company, I'd think they'd want to fix up the smoky mower for you?
Same here haha Was always one of my favourite movies since I was a kid i am no longer farming and now am driving truck and I still jam out to give some lovin on the radio and the first thing that pops into my head is rubbin is racing 🤣
Your videos are always funny as well as informative, and thanks for always injecting some humor somewhere in the content. Unlike some of the other farm guys who seem pompous and self-important, your down-to-earth delivery is fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Congrats to the grad! My daughter graduated this year and they missed out on Spring sports, prom, their elementary school senior walk, pep assemblies, having a proper sendoff with their class, senior skip day etc, etc. All the stuff I never gave much thought to 30 years ago.
As someone who's had a ringing in their ear since their mid to late teens: Get Onyx some ear defenders if he's gonna be running that machine for any length of time or with any regularity. I'm still just 26, but not defending my ears properly when I was younger is one of my greatest regrets, and I'd give a lot to give my younger self a peek into what the result of it is, so he could learn from it. I also know a kid who's only 17, and already lost an eye to a broken off drill bit. Protection is extremely important, but too often we only realise that after it's too late. (I also know some dads that may or may not have become a dad early than they wanted, so yeah, protection).
I can tell you it wasn't from the mower that hurt your hearing. I was in the Army for several year working on helicopters and firing guns, and my hearing is just now starting to get bad.
I was a crew chief on large jets, in the Air Force. I always used ear protection. While at the Air Force Academy, we went out to a bar, where the music was loud. I have had ringing in my ears ever since. 24 years s a crew chief, without damage, but all it took was one night without protection, to do permanent damage.
@@ImpendingJoker And I can tell you that it definitely was one of the reasons. I'm not saying my hearing has gone bad, I can still hear fine, but I have a constant ringing in my ears. Mowing the lawn as a kid without any hearing protection was definitely one of the reasons, I distinctly remember having a slight ring in my ear after I was done mowing, but it faded away. I always thought this was normal, until later on. I'm not saying just mowing the lawn caused the issues I'm facing now, I'm simply saying: Prevent it at all costs. It only costs you a few bucks to buy hearing protection, and it can save you from a lifetime of annoyance, or worse. It's worth it, no questions asked.
no need to name the movie, that reference was gold. I knew where you were going right off the bat talking about the fuel line holding an extra gallon. im going watch it again now!
Congratulations Aurora!!!!! I'm looking forward to the next episode of the Off The Husk podcast. I enjoy listening to them while I'm driving the big truck...
@@framaofficial7865 forse è più tecnico sulle culture e quello mi piace,ma questi americani come format sono molto più intrattenenti e hanno più contenuti vari
Great vlog. And an optimistic farmer says “things are great so far”,so very true. :). Watching my farming friends is a highlight of my day, keep on truckin.
I hate the censors under the seat we taped it when I started mowing when I was younger But we got a new one and cant access the censors to tape them so you have to put the handbrake on before you get off to stop it cutting out
Good for you dude! Make sure you are very careful! Wear hearing protection (they make ear protection that has Bluetooth speakers in them!!!) And eye protection. Take pride in your work and you will be hiring employees and expanding in no time!
Atta boy! That’s how I made my money in high school and I made a crazy amount just mowing from spring to fall. Usually charged $25-40 a yard depending on size, and built up quite a roster of regular clients after a couple summers! Now straight, weed eat good, and blow off the driveways and sidewalks and you will have people calling you to take care of their lawns.
Hey! If you check out Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek's CZcams channel, there is a video there of a guy that started out just like you... Today he has company doing lots of other things and massive machines, and it all grew out of the lawn mower he started with, a simple push mower at that.
As a military brat and a military retiree, I have seen the world and realize how good we have it here in the Good 'ole USA. Clean water, safe food in prices and quantities we need. God bless the farmers who give us, and the world, food. AMEN
Robert Duval talking to Cole's car of course the scene where he sees the oil under the car that's not what he was looking for out of the car lol . Great to hear about the Veterans program .
I love the layout of the video! So many different fun events went on! Glad to see the kids grow up and taking responsibilities on the farm! One heck of a video! Tootles!
Thanks for doing what you do ! I think everyone should get some experience on a farm, too many folks don't understand what it takes. I'm a city boy who got a chance to work on a ranch/ farm ( cattle) It was so humbling and enjoyable I went back 3 more years to help in the spring.
Omg I know I'm way behind in years just came across the channel like last week but some of the titles to your vids are funny like this one 😄 😂 100% love your vids keep posting
With tim walz in the lead Minnesota is setting an example of humanity and sense of community to the world. You should invite him to off the husk because he, like you, sees the bigger picture and is connecting the dots!
for the general use the GT235 isn't bad, but if you want to have a monster, get an old 140H3 - the implements you can get would rival anything on the farm (just smaller). I used mine with a hoist in rear to pull engines from vehicles... with weight on the front it worked VERY well!
You may want to give the young fella some hearing protection when he runs the lawn mower & other other engines (weeder eaters, tractors, impact tools, being around the dryer, etc). I speak from experience. Congrats to your niece for graduating high school A job well done. “No, no, he didn’t slam you, he didn’t bump you, he didn’t nudge you...he rubbed you. And rubbin’ son, is racin’.” Another great vid Zach. Take care & stay safe.
You know Zach, Black Rifle Coffee Company has coffee in a can now. What better way to get away from energy drinks than to support a veteran owned coffee company?
I’m patiently awaiting the John Deere quad track lawn mower demo.
🤣🤣🤣
9 rx with mounted mower deck
Mark Challancin lol
That would be awesome. Especially if a mower snow thrower and front blade were the available attachments but were only designed for front use somewhat like those ventrac things. Couldnt imagine there would be much room with 4 track units and itd just be cool!

🇨🇦 vet here. It’s a great cause, thanks for the support of fellow combat brothers, always as one.
I'm not even a farmer and I almost want to sign up for FBN...
Perhaps some savings through FBN for your yard.
oh, so I'm not alone good...
Alex Basaj
- attractive rates on health insurance.
Can't... There is an ocean separating me and FBN :D
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 I'm considering it for just the insurance. .. I've been laid off for quite a while, and COBRA only lasts so long....
You should start videoing more of the work that gets done to the race cars. Would be really interesting to see more behind the scenes and races with that between the planting and harvesting seasons
it's a farm channel

I thought I was gonna see the new John Deere RX mower with tracks.
The Harry Hog reference at the end was the kicker in this one!
Dad filling trucks, parent killing dandelions, son mowing lawn. Three generations
I got to kill all of my dandelions. How about you Zach
The respect and support you show to us veterans is amazing! Keep up the great work you do.
Days of Thunder is one of the best movies made in my opinion. "I want you to go back out there and hit the pace car" is one of my favorite scenes. Haha
Wonder if they'll ever do a Part II, like the Top Gun franchise; that would be great.
fun fact the words "Lawn Mower" can be used to describe a piece of equipment, and also to describe the person using that piece of equipment.
I refer to mine as the Lawn Zamboni
There their There're :)
@@michaelbrennan7148 "they're"
Manual labor, to me it's somebody, to somebody else it's work .
Totally got the Days of Thunder reference! Priceless.
I sure am glad that you take the time to include your children from time to time in your video's. They appear to be great kids and they love their daddy and the attention that he provides for them.
I would like to thank the actor known as the MN Millennial farmer for wearing his seat belt.
It appears you had 99.99% singulation on your dandelions...
🤣
Nothing new
he got slack and missed a year in the selective herbicide program to control the unending cycle of dandelion seed production.
@@mikemerrill175 Yes, apparently farmers can't use simple lawn spreaders like the common folk do.
He must live next door to me because my yard is full of them!
We’ve had a frost on our pinto beans before in June. Thought it was a total loss. It ended up being one of our best yielding fields. I’ve never raised soybeans, but beans in general respond well to stress, just have to be stressed at the right time.

at least the smoke on the mower kills mosquitoes while you spray dandy lions 🤣🤣

Those dandelions show that he’s got a John Deere lawn.
Glad to hear you are drinking less energy drinks. Water is so much better. Great video. 👍👍

Tinnitus sucks
I kind of agree. I know why my ears are bad. Running a Minnie mo g955 straight pipe for hours on end every fall running a silage bagger.

Don't say "crash course" when your teaching somebody how to drive something. They might get confused.
I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣
My kid also cuts the lawn twice as quick as i do 🤔🤔😁 . Did u have re do it Zack ? 😅
And then immediately replaces broken hood on mower!
Lmao I have :)
It's Awesome to see your son ready & willing to mow the lawn & be Responsible !!
Hey Zach! Congrats to you niece for graduating this year. I am also a graduate of the Class of 2020
" Randy's coming over" Man, he can eat ;-)
You ordered a pallet of bottled water, instead of just filling a thermos from the tap? Wow, you are a true millennial.
I am sure he is using a well, and well water can be a little iffy for personal drinking.
I am a high school graduate student of 2020 too. A grad that will be remember for sure !
Hey mate absolutely love the way you advertise you make it funny while still actually advertising it
I mean can’t hate the dandy lions to much, it makes your lawn look like a John Deer lawn😂
“They recommend more than once every 20 years, but let’s not get into the details” 😂😂
no need to name the movie, that reference was gold. I knew where you were going right off the bat talking about the fuel line holding an extra gallon. im going watch it again now!

“I might have to call the EPA” 😂🤣😂
Nahhh the John Deere 455 all wheel steer has to be😂with a 3 point hitch and a pto
What about the John Deere 318?
Cody Rooker I prefer the 455, a proper John with a Yanmar 3 cylinder (I’m from England)
I have a 455 with all wheel steer, they are awesome! The fuel efficiency is incredible, and they can put down some grass!
I have a 455 AWS and wish it was just regular steering with two brakes
hey, I just joined the farmer vet coalition! Going through the steps right now.
Congrats on the graduation!!! Do good things!
The fact that you and I share a mutual disdain for dandelions makes me hit that like button so fast.

I have a mower that spits out oil out of the exhaust lol
That’s pretty mint. Have you tried replacing the tires?
That's so the exhaust doesnt rust
It my have made some extra OIL just drain it and it'll be just fine until you need to do it again next week .
It was sitting for like 10 years the carb is also messed up
The only things it needs are some piston rings and a carb
When i saw the thumbnail i said “She Thinks My Tractors Sexy”
Best WD-40 commercial I've seen in a long time.

Man I used to use a zero turn mower that my grandpa had then my dads brother bought the mower now I use a push mower :(
That sucks.
Better for the heart and saves on gym fees 😉
Gene Murphy true
@@EvanAintDead you could get a riding mower you can find them cheap then you can mow yards and then buy something better

Me: Sooo... JD deliver their machines dirty and "tested"? ;-)
anyone else mimic the autosteer sounds when they're mowing?
no? just me then? well ok
I sometimes do to lol
I never new that he had air pods what a electric farmer lol!!
Thanks for doing what you do !
I think everyone should get some experience on a farm, too many folks don't understand what it takes.
I'm a city boy who got a chance to work on a ranch/ farm ( cattle)
It was so humbling and enjoyable I went back 3 more years to help in the spring.
Early for once.
I approve of John Deere lawn mowers :D
came to the comment section to see how many hippies got triggered by the dandelion murders...
🤣🤣🤣 no comment...
Omg I know I'm way behind in years just came across the channel like last week but some of the titles to your vids are funny like this one 😄 😂 100% love your vids keep posting
ride on mowers are so fun to young boys. i remember when i was a kid mowing the lawn wasnt even a job i liked it wished the grass grew faster lol
Hey we and my grandfather have a gt235 as well with you. We have something in common.
Best part of the day is getting a notification that he Millennial Farmer posted a video! Keep the great videos coming.
With tim walz in the lead Minnesota is setting an example of humanity and sense of community to the world. You should invite him to off the husk because he, like you, sees the bigger picture and is connecting the dots!
Man putting my headphones on and jamming while cuttin grass!! it takes me too my "happy place" 😂💯🇺🇲🚜🍻 i hate Dandelions!!!😣
My dad owns Fimco so awesome to see this!
Good to hear your crops are off to a good start. Wishing you a great 2020 growing season.
As long as you don't look under the cart and see a puddle of oil on the ground your Day of Thunder reference was perfect.
You should start videoing more of the work that gets done to the race cars would be really interesting to see more
Sure Zach could do a mini crop of Corn or beans with that mini sprayer in his backgarden😂
I was 14 (last year) when I bought my first tractor (1999 GT235) and I love it. Little beast
for the general use the GT235 isn't bad, but if you want to have a monster, get an old 140H3 - the implements you can get would rival anything on the farm (just smaller). I used mine with a hoist in rear to pull engines from vehicles... with weight on the front it worked VERY well!
Days of thunder what a dam fine movie harry would be proud of those car skills lol
The dipstick says GIVE ER 😂😂😂 that's gonna stick for sure
Ah yes wd-40 mans best friend cleans everything and kills wasps at world class time
Becky does all the hard work. 👍
Your used hood is in better shape than mine. I would make you an offer, but I already ordered a replacement and it was delivered yesterday.
Loved the "Days of Thunder" reference.
Cool Beans... Made me laugh. I saw some Mesotrione too...
You may want to give the young fella some hearing protection when he runs the lawn mower & other other engines (weeder eaters, tractors, impact tools, being around the dryer, etc).

Congrats to your Niece Aurora on graduating HS. Life has begun. :)
As soon as you said an extra gallon of gas all I thought was Cole Trickle. Lol keep it up bud, love the references and the puns.
You know Zach, Black Rifle Coffee Company has coffee in a can now. What better way to get away from energy drinks than to support a veteran owned coffee company?
I used to work on my jeep at my buddies shop, he had Days of thunder playing over and over on a big screen, you should get this goin' in that shop.
I have a 1977 JD 210 that’s been tough as hell. Always been a turn key machine.
Ha Ha the hood on my GT 275 looks the same. You must use the same self sharpening blades I have!
Congratulations on graduating . Don’t know how old this video is but here in south Alabama we have corn Little over waist high
Last I looked, Alabama was a little bit south of Minnesota.
Nice Dakota micro commercial before the video. Looking good Zach this acting thing might pay off for you lol.
