- Working Hard or Hardly Working- The fields are muddy but the weather is turning cold quickly and we need to get our tillage done fast. Thanks to auto-steer for helping me make sure I don't strain myself too much during long work hours!

Hello Zach,
I was born and raised in Los Angeles and I’ve never been to a farm, ranch or place that produces the product that’s normally on my dinner table every evening! I didn’t put any thought into the effort others made to make sure I had what I was looking for when I visited my local grocery store. I didn’t have any interest in the farming world and didn’t think I would unless something dramatically happen to our supply or quality, until I found your channel! I’ve seen the effort your family put in to producing high quality product. How concern you are with the environment and not polluting the water supply. You showed your family and that you’re a loving caring father and husband. You took us to your racing world and helped us relate (I also race, Drag race). Before I met you, farming was some foreign place, ran by foreigners, who really didn’t care about my health! Thank you Zach showing me your life and the world of farming!
P.S. “For pete’s sake Zach, do something about LED lights!”
Thanks for the awesome comment Kevin! I have 2 or 3 videos that directly address water quality (specifically drain tile). My kids, wife, and I all swim in the lakes here and we drink our well water straight out of the hoses. Understanding nutrients and how they move within the soil and water is very important to us. Not only from a local environment perspective but also from a financial perspective because we pay a LOT of money for those nutrients. We need them to stay in our soil. Hope that helps, thanks for watching, I love hearing from non-farmers who watch!
Thank you Zach and keep making great videos!
with
Kevin, as far as I know that tractor has HID lightning we have theses same wheel tractors here on our farm they even better then LED lights.
Well said sir well said if it wasn't for our hard working farmers we wouldn't have nothing on the dinner table
"How do I play fortnite?" something I'd not expect to hear in an agricultural themed channel
You gotta fight, for Fortnight!! (song and game together) .. ok ok but will it run Crysis?? he-he
It's got the horsepower.
U betcha
Lol
This is a perfect representation of the different phases you go though when driving a tractor all day.
Trent lol, thats not the case when you drive 1990 ford 6610 tractor, after long day on the seat you get backaches muscle pain from constant steering, and you go off it hearing nothing, the beep in the ears stay until the next morning :)))
@@nbssms Haha yea I have spent the majority of my time in tractors with autosteer so I can relate to this. Glad I didn't have to deal with what you have described!
YES!
Very good job putting together this video. FUNNY
nbssms ly. &&)(22333324*6$;’ihghyggggttttgyhh .lkhhkkjkokmjklkkjlmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. M.
If I was spinning that ratchet around in my tractor it would fine right through the window with my luck lol
saaameeeee dude
I was thinking the exact thing
First thing I thought of!!!
Same thought here
I think everyone was too
Zach, I commented on this before but I have to say it again, watching this vid and watching your earliest vids is like night and day. You have great screen presence young man (even when you are pretend sleeping). You and Becky have also come along way in regards to editing, very creative and very entertaining. I really like the way that when you really don’t have a lot to teach me you can still make me chuckle anyway. Keep ‘em coming. Very enjoyable.
Thanks Tim!
Tim Carpenter I use him as an example for video editing ideas as well!
would also second that .... the subs figures say it all .
Ditto Tim
Time Carpenter - got my Lock-N-Lube!!! THANKS Zach!! I agree with you Tim... Zach and Becky are You Tube examples to learn from. I'm still working on how to do that finger snap thing making stuff appear in a snap....
God I’m not only one that sweeps floor board out why I’m going thru the field... that takes skill to read the wind just right so it sucks it out and doesn’t blow it back in😁🙋🏻♂️
1:33 until the socket comes off and goes through the window.
Congrats on 150k, another great video.
Zach just saw your interview with FarmFlix! I think what you're doing is really cool. You're super entertaining but also provide great education for those of us that have never worked on a farm. Keep it up!
Thanks! That interview turned out pretty cool!
WHEELER WALKER JR. FUCK YA
The Lawn Guardian I so agree, like about drain tiles!
Haha another great video!..how much ground do you have worked under already?
Gotta love your taste for music.. Its spot on!
I just watched a guy plow a field, all day, and try to entertain himself..... all day. Was entertaining. Quality content.
A guy can get pretty sleepy after a long day in the tractor. I remember my dad telling me about a time when they were running 24 hours in the spring because it was so late. He nodded off in the tractor in the middle of the night & he said it took him several minutes to find his way back to where he left off. Lucky for him there were no big ditches or anything like that. We finished with tillage & I hope you guys get a lot done as they are talking rain tonight. Thanks for the video.
thedonleroy I've nodded off in the field a few times before. When the eyes start getting heavy it's a good time to get out and walk around for a minute!
Happy 150,000 subscribers!!! You were at 100,000 1 month ago!
I love the skip a pass method. I used to do that back when we ran a track machine on our chisel. It really helped tame down the turnaround mess on the end rows.
Same here, running a 8rt..Sometimes gotta use the seatbelts on the headland :D
We do our spring tillage with a landoll vt plus. You have to go about 9mph to do a really good job and it is a real joyride if you make a mess with the chisel!
Dodge Brothers Farm and Ranch articulated tractors here so I don't have this experience!
What I would really like is a quad track!
It's always a good idea until your GPS fails when you're going back and filling in it's a lot of white knuckle high pay attention driving
Oh. The memories,,,,,,,, People can’t believe it when I tell them how monotonous running farm equipment is....... at least I never had auto steer, ,, That would be just torture... to this day the only task that can keep me awake is running a round baler..... it only gives you 30 or 40 seconds between having to do something or alarms start sounding... cheers..
John Toon you could start filming CZcams videos and that'll keep you up 😉
try running a hedge cutter on hedges backed with wire .....or cutting roadsides on twisty narrow busy roads filled with impatient car drivers ......that will keep u busy and alert ....recks your eyes after a while
The cool factor last about 5 minutes then it's dear God make it stop ....up and down , up and down, blip oh let's turn and go this way .....
How could anyone dislike this video?! This is pure gold!
There's a select few who dislike every video because they never got enough hugs as children...
I approve of the music selections. I even heard a little bit of Wheeler in there!
I was gonna say the same! Walker Jr.!
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!.I like the 70's and 80's pop/rock music myself.
The autosteer feature really brings out the boredom doesn't it?.
At least you got some sleep Zach,so that would be a big advantage.
Rocky Mountain Way was the best!
What was the song in the vid i cant remember the name
First off great choice in music . It’s refreshing to watch farming videos that don’t have country music in them👍🏻
Just not the same without the, "thanks for watching, guys." Love your videos.
Wow congrats on 150,000 subs. The channel is growing so fast well done
I love your classic rock music choices, I remember when they were new at the top of the charts...lol
Zach, just wanted to let you know I have been watching your channel since the get go and it keeps getting better and better as the time goes on. Keep up the good work sir. Greetings from Nebraska
The fact that Dropkick is on your Playlist just makes your channel that much more awesome
Right here's a perfect time to ask Audible for a sponsorship. Tilling with an audio book is 10,000% better lol
That was the good one. My favorite sense o humor...👌😎
Im new to your Channel But i really love your business sense and your family values, Plus your editing skills make your videos fun to watch. Keep up the good work and be safe.
How does this vlog get any better? Absolutely spot on entertainment for us. Can’t say enough about your presence on CZcams and the value it provides. Just well done man
I feel safe seeing our farmers operating heavy machinery while asleep. Just feels good you know.
Before the hate starts: I'm kidding.
First your are making me laugh really hard god bless all the farmers in america 😀
Abram Martens thank ya 😃
What about us farmers in Canada?
@@dawsonpokotylo2228 well we ain't Canadian dude
I love this video. You are an intelligent, hard working character Zach and Auto-steer let's you be you...a wonderful thing.
Zach, Keep making the videos, laughter is the best medicine, I enjoy watching all of your videos. I live here in Kansas, Wichita to be exact, I have a friend of mine who is a wheat farmer, corn, and soy beans and my mom lives close to a wheat farmer who has now sold his land, and my ancestors were farmers, so farming something I've always been around. Thank you for all the hard work that you do as well as all the hours you put in to put food on our table everyday, without farmers there wouldn't be the good food that we have today if it weren't for all of the farmers who bust there butt out in the fields everyday for us.
Dude I was totally waiting for that 3/8 ratchet to fly off of that scocket!!! NOOOOOOO!!
Good video Zach 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚜🚜🚜
Farm Alarm yeah you know it would hit the most expensive window on the machine. Lol
@@strangefruit8776 I have tinted those Windows for a lot of farmers, and those Windows are *HUGE* and I sure wouldn't want to have to buy one! *EXPENSIVE* 🚜🚜🚜
Farm Alarm I’m sure they are all $1000 or more. The front window for our backhoe was $1500 and it got cracked as soon as we put it in.
ah, the luxaries of autosteer
Can not get the smile off my face! Your Dad will love this one I am sure!
This video describes what I do in a tractor with auto steer enabled. Great vids man
Hysterical man your best yet!
3:57 Absolute best part
In this video reminded myself when I was working in my bus before the pandemic.. Congrats from Greece 🇬🇷
Best farming channel. Hands down!
Love your music choices. Great videos Zack
Putting on the Rally Cap! Love it lmao
I can relate... Clean the cab, explore every guidance feature, fall asleep... waking up as I bounce across the headland.... yep, Thanks Zach keep'em coming!
LMAO - "My boy Blue". There are so many subtle themes hidden in this video that relate to the emotions of spending a long day in the tractor when its late in the season and you know that the weather is closing in on you. i.e - Slow fuel pump, GPS needs to be set when you hit the field, the importance of a good "Hard Rock Oldies" station to stay awake, .... at not least, singing along to the radio and believing it sounds good. Love it!!
Farm is looking good! Funny how every time I till on our farm I get comments pouring in from the "No Till" crowd lol...way smaller operation here but a good time getting in the dirt no less! Enjoyed the video !! RALLY HAT WOOOOO!!!
Hello Stoney Ridge i just got donewatching you video right before this one it was one of the old ones
This vid was hilarious

Caught the wheeler walker jr in there 😂
Sweet hat my first tractor I drove was a WFE 4-225 loved that tractor with that Cat power!
Nice to see u guys r done we still have 190 ac of beans to do but wont stop rainin
Laughing from the beginning to end. To funny hahahahaha
I like the hat that you are wearing. White Farm Equipment
I spent many hours in 4020 John Deere with 4 bottom plow going 3 miles per hour listening to a m radio with lights that barely shined ahead of the front wheels. Those were my favorite memories.
Hey man I live in Australia on a farm. I love watching your videos everyday when I wake up. This video made my day man keep it up.
That was without a doubt the worst, most painful to watch, mosmosh pile of garbage I have ever seen. I can not wait to show my son and expect more of theses in the future. Keep them coming zach! Please frolic on the next video lol. Oh and I did smash the like button.
Nailed it!
1:43 you got to press the reset to factory default to launch Fortnite
How did I miss that?
Unfortunately we are all in the same boat, trying to do tillage with the cold weather setting in faster than we had hoped.
This has been one challenging fall again.
Your videos always make me smile, even with our stress levels elevated.
Thanks zach for the heart
MN Sleeping Farmer!!
I think harvest has really burnt you out Lololol. Man down!!! Man down!!!
Gotta love Auto Steer, lol. Congrats on 150,000!
Hey Zack this is Charlie in Florida and Georgia videos it's a good seed that your 5th generation farmer the kind of lost ark and keep up the great work sir thank you
Your having way to much fun lol
Did you get enough Sleep? Cool when they talked about you on the Radio - Lowry is on the Map now so alert the police fans will be stopping by to try out the WD Grease and see all the Green Machines!
Haha. I feel like I go through the bored stage the first couple hours in the tractor but then you kind of get in the groove with it.
I really enjoyed the harvest videos this year! It was fun to see someone else’s take on the issues we all have to deal with.
We run mostly yellow equipment. Lexion 560R, Challenger MT745 (planter/grain cart), Cat 85E (disc ripper, field cultivator, GP Turbo Chopper). But we are 30 mins south of Peoria, IL so we like seeing yellow machines. My brother is an engineer at Precision planting so I think delta force would look good on your 24R planter!
Keep up the good work!
Chris Frank once you get in the groove things start moving along nicely
I absolutely love your videos! I grew up on a dairy farm in North Carolina and miss it dearly. Keep up the good work buddy!!
Did I hear a little wheeler walker jr?
You did!
Your name is even better
He cut it too early😎
Hilarious video 😂😂😂
The Old School reference at 3:44 was spot-on and hilarious!
Who knew a farmer could have so much fun?
I thought farming simulator 17 was hard but now in real life omg🤯
I love your vids. I quit hunting just to watch ur vid. Like if you think he’s the best
Get back to venison watching!
⬇😂
⬆😂
I stumbled over this video again....
... and again my tummy hurts from laughing :-)
Really great stuff !!!
Congrats on 150 my 6 year old son and i have been watching 3 vids a night to play catch up to all your great stuff .
Maybe you should have more tractor karaoke videos . You play a mean air guitar.
Stay tuned!.....
David Overstreet: not to mention the drums.
Wheeler Walker Jr for the win
Derek Karre hell ya
I was hoping a few guys would catch that!
I just came here to comment the same thing! Haha Gotta love it
Doing the same here in Indiana, long few months! Great videos man!
EXACTLY!
The hours on the horse can get very, veeeeeery long…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed every second of that video!
Working hard at Hardly working
Hahaha and people ask me why i prefer to work with livestock, yes its mucky pretty much all the time but i don't think i could sit in a tractor all day
I can tell you that without autosteer and in small field it's not anymore boring.
PS : love your videos too
What are you doing here? Edit the next day's video asap. I will wait for it at 2!!!!
Great job on making a boring day entertaining! Even had some Wheeler Walker Jr. in there. Love the videos! Keep them coming!
Well, this is pretty much what crop farming looks like nowdays. Maintainance and what Zack shared in the video.
I do mainly construction but help out few friends in harvest, and even in construction, work on the big machines gets booring af. (Pavers, milling machines)
Come on, come on, come on, come on.😂,
How do I play Fortnite?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHABABABAH HOW DO I PLAY FORTNITE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Ur one of my favorite youtubers im also a farmer myself I work on a horse and cattle farm and also work on my grandparents 40 acre sheep farm and also good lookn equipment y’all got hope you and your family had a good thanksgiving to I thought I’d watch some of ur videos I’ve missed.
Absolutely brilliant, comical, clever and very enjoyable. one of the best videos on youtube.
MAGA 2020
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 might be saying a lot but best clip of the year. I was lol’ing the whole time. And great choice in music sir! Wish I was back home in MN. Thank you for all the clips and the entertainment Zach!!
I would say you were a little board at times. LOL always enjoy a good video from you Zach. Thanks for sharing and thank you Becky for editing and up loading the to youtube. Have a great day!!!
That just might be your best one yet Zach. Thanks for the great vids!
The Wheeler Walker song you were listening to though.. hahahaha. Perfect timing to cut scene.
I kept thinking that ratchet was going to fly off and either hit you or break something! Lol
Yeah I watch that and I just say thank God for no till! Probably teach myself out a knit or something if I had to do that. I bet that rain over there shut you down today just as much as it did over here!
Now i can say- congrats on the 151k subs man !
One of the best videos ever
Zach love the video, thank you for the laughs
Did I hear some Wheeler Walker Jr.? Outstanding!
You have to like and understand your humor to enjoy this video.I really really enjoy both!! Why is because I am one of those beat up old farmers👩🌾 who sat on a JD B with a two bottom plow out in heat and cold. The funny thing is I did all the things you just showed.No radio though or phone Tillage is just plain work!! One thing,us old guys froze our you know what off.Just the same Thanks for sharing,l do like that you took the time out of your day.
