I think we need to give a shout out to the hitch pin that hooks the ripper to the bud, can you imagine how much force is on there
Leg arms welded it 😉 that's not going anywhere
If it’s anything lie the tile plows that we use in South Dakota the cable from the case goes right under the belly of the big bud and attaches directly to plow. Just has a loop or two off the bottom of the big bud to keep the cable centered and out from under the tires.
If you look closely at 4.30 that’s it what they have done you can see the cable
@@songs8803 what do you mean a loop or two the big bud? Elaborate?
@Steve Bean no it's not,its only secured to the front of the Bud to prevent it from getting run over by Big Bud
The opportunity to help my sons break ground for a future home would be a dream come true. That's a genuine privilege for a father to do. We only want the best for our kids and to see them succeed.
Plant trees and windbreak now so they have a good footage by the time you start your build! Lots of trees and shrubs for cover!
Great point.
You can tell where every house and town is in Saskatchewan cause it's the only place with trees ha ha
Agree, it will take the longest time to finnish
This would be one of dads proudest days of his life, helping his 2 boys build there future together, there’s nothing better than family together… fantastic effort guys….
Don’t do to much though.. you might split the planet in half 😉😉😉
Yep. My dad died when I was 11 so I built my own future. They are lucky!
The power of friction. When I used to drive piles for highways we would occasionally get them off center. The H beam would be hammered 8ft into the ground and the 275 ton crane couldn't remove it. The holding power of the ground is astonishing.
I'm loving the American flag on top of the ripper, I'm not even American.
Thank you for your support !
At this point in human history old glory isn’t about the country that claims it but what that beautiful old rag represents and stands for. Freedom and liberty for ALL. We are all in this together. God Bless. 🙏
Bring America back to the way it was. It's still a great place to live ...but were going down hill. Only place I want to live!!! AMERICA!!!!
Hell yeah
Actually the American flag is for Americans only. I love how people can like it too and can relate to what it stands for . But it’s American not worldly or a union of countries . I’m American I fight for American freedoms.
That Big Bud is so cool, built in the 70's and was so far ahead of its time.
Indeed it was
No Differential lock I drove 1950's tractors with diff lock
@@alanreid3063 if that tractor needs diff lock your doing something wrong
@@tedanderson463 Yeah I know, I read all about them along time ago, i was simply commenting on how cool they are.
What exactly made the Big Bud be ahead of its time?
I don't know much about US tractors from the 70's :)
Was it just its size? Or did the Big Bud have other things that made it ahead of its time?
Maybe someday after you get things laid out, you can put the drone up and let us have a bird's-eye view of where the new houses are going, and the relationship to the main farm.
Nah then some people may show up to there house with not so good intent and they have kids you know
@@huntingforlife5740 Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I will happily stay ignorant to keep their family a little safer.
@@huntingforlife5740 I understand your point but with 1 min of googling you have their adress. Its not like there are 25000 new homes there. So it will be ez to find anyway
So I am guessing that ripper was designed to be pulled by a monster dozer if those two tractors are working that hard to yank it. It is impressive how well those Buds still hold their own compared to 40 year newer machines. You can just about keep bolting new equipment to them, wonder if you could find some axles that have diff locks in them.
You nailed it, it is pulled by two older d8 cats and a d6 I believe. They only go 1mph but it gets the job done.
It is still a testament to how well the Bud's were designed &built that it is still pulling that hard without any mechanical issues. A lot of that is also attributed to a great maintenance program. It is really sweet to see her still pulling after 40 years.
I still think a full length movie of the Welker's Ripper Adventure would be great. Could watch for hours. Amazing machines. Well done!
A NEW HOUSE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WARE. PLANT SOME TREES NOW.
It may not rain enough to support tree growth
Very cool to watch those BIG horses pulling hard and watching those big tires digging!!!!! very excited to watch you guys build your new homes!!!! you deserve it!!!! be safe!!!
It is a little mind bending how much energy you are putting into play to dig that deep by pulling. I miss playing with my toy tractors. You get to keep doing it. Thanks for sharing this guys.
Wow....Old Glory sure is the cherry on that cake. Super stoked you guys are able to build your homes close to each other. God bless you and yours
Everything I like about this channel and the Welkers over the years! Yet another great working endorsement for CaseIH Steiger power too!
Can water and gas go in same trench
@@diymerlehowtoeatanelephant3714 No
It is so exciting to see those big tractors pulling hard. Would have loved to watch this in person. Thank you for sharing these pulls. HORSE POWER! and TORQUE!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m not American but I love how you have the American flag flying above the ripper . Awesome 😎
given that they are a half an hour from the Canadian border they should have a Maple Leaf flag
I do not know how they can e proud of their president. He is loosing his mind
@@georgedavidson1221 not many normal people are proud of the installed like a toilet president
@@georgedavidson1221 Loosing? You mean already lost it? Lost his mind about the same time he lost his soul. But selling your soul is the price you pay for being in politics as long as I've been alive...
The entire administration is a disaster and an embarrassment to America
pretty cool watching those two monsters working together
It’s to bad you couldn’t have worked out with the Big Bud 747 to give you a hand!
My brother is having a new house built in Alaska. Contractor recommends around the basement to lay down tyvek, two feet dirt, tyvek, two more feet of dirt etc. Supposed to keep the horizontal pressure off the basement wells. Practical Engineering Retaining Walls has a good video on how fabric is used in retaining walls.
A lot of black poly has been laid all over Australian farm land for a lot of years now. On our farm we aim for 300mm maybe 400mm deep to the top. We have to have it buried not because of freezing the water but because the water gets so hot that the stock won’t drink their daily requirements in the summer and autumn.🇦🇺👍
Speaking of old-timers, I worked for a farmer as a kid growing up. He took his Ford NAA and drove corner to corner to mark the center of a field to put down an irrigation well. As he always said “X” marks the spot. He was about 6’ off in an 80!
I used to stare at those Sweet Grass Hills every day on the Canadian side, working on a ranch by Milk River. Now I drive truck and I've driven right through Shelby and stayed the night there many many times, pretty awesome that you're so close to i15!
I liked the last video with the tractor sounds, not a fan of all the music over top, you guys are great just unedited fancy with some pure tractor sounds.
Agreed
Agreed. Stop the fancy - fancy stuff and just keep it pure and original. I do not want to watch a music video.
Say what you want, but Mr. Welker looks good in his shades. Stylin and profilin. Truly one of the greatest families on CZcams.
This has to be exciting. I built a new cow barn 50-/+' away from my house a few years ago. Much smaller scale but the future possibilities get you so worked up. I hope your houses turn into the great homes you both wish for AND deserve!!!!!!!
Thanks Welkers for bringing us to your farm! Love the preliminary work for the homesteads.
That is some hard ground. I know it was really dry this season, so that doesn't help. Still, it's so cool to see those beasts pulling together. Thanks for sharing.
That was so exciting. Nice to see how the old and new can work together.
I was hoping we wouldn’t have to wait too long for the sequel, and you delivered! WOOHOO!
Thanks, LegArms, for explaining why the big bud was rockin. God bless you and your families.
Man !!!!!! The Big Bud is a beast and so is the Steiger can’t wait to see your houses being built. Good luck, god bless and stay safe.
Thanks, God bless!
Impressive display of brute force and horsepower in both old and new. The more I see the John deere stuff breaking down on other channels the more I like case. For the multiple thousands more you pay for deere stuff I would be expecting better performance than what I'm seeing.
We do love the CaseIH equipment.
Which is why our UK farm changed from all JD to Fendt and have been really pleased.
Proud of you guys. Love watching folks work towards their goals.
You’re an amazing family and you’ve been blessed with many talents. Thanks for sharing this with us.
When you are through with the lines drive them with your tractor and use its GPS to map them. Then download to your computer.
or just record while yer doing it.
Get the grader out, clear off the berm dirt, run the ripper again. You should get to 6 feet easy. After the pipe is in, use the grader to roll the berm dirt back over pipe. Or is that just a "pipe dream?" Great video guys!
Doesn't work like that.
Yes that's a pipe dream. None of the spoils is adding any appreciable resistance to the ripping.
Once again..... Well shot.... well produced and most of all FUN TO WATCH!!!!! Great Job!!!! Thank YOU
You guys sure are having fun. I have countless miles of underground lines around my farm. I have several miles of fiber optic that would cost millions as it carries millions of connections between Denver to Houston. Several miles of helium 8" that is 8 feet deep. Miles of 8 to 16" natural gas. I have many miles of 480 volt power. 2" gas lines to pump irrigation wells. Then water lines 8" to 15" While installing a electric supply this Spring we hit a 8" gas line that is abandoned and not on a map. I call 811 often. I just got off my combine and it feel more relaxing to be getting 3700 bu of corn each hour so I can pay for more lines!
That's one tractor pull for the record books. I look forward to your video's.
This part 2 is so cool. Thanks for sharing, Welker Men.
You bet!
Hahaha , Happy wife happy life! and dont forget its"Cheaper to Keep her" Thats why Im no long living in Glacier county MT and now im in FL! Longing for MT watching you awesome videos
Great video and congrats on starting the home projects. Nice to see everyone working together!
I'm kinda surprised you guys didn't have that big bud 747 with the dual lsw 1400's brought over for that pull. NOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING CONTENT
Love to see these monster tractors be worked hard like that. Awesome looking and the sounds.
This is exciting! I’m glad to see progress is happening towards your new homes.
We all know Nick fly’s in on his gulf stream for those filming days. 😂
Y'all family always works together well. Good job guys...
It was the tail wind that got it done on. The last pull ole glory was helping🤘
Enjoy watching, used to teach in Shelby, been to your house a couple times with friends from church. Great to see your channel. I miss hunting that country!
Glad to have you with us.What years would that have been?
Thanks for all your videos! Love every one of them! Be blessed and well and safe!
I knew without a doubt that the bud and case could do it
Please remember to put a heavy piece of conveyor of cloth of wrap the cable with a chain if it snaps that it doesn't kill the person in the front tractor.
It happened to a neighbor of ours...
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
The big bud and the big case did just great pulling the riper. My sincere compliments to the Welker family for teaming up on this project to help get the homes built. Just wonderful.
Watching those two big horsepower tractors pull away was really interesting!!! Great opportunity to see this. The riper you got on loan was a great piece of equipment. Nice you could use it.
Will be nice for both of you to have larger homes for your growing families!!!!! Look forward to the laying if the pipes in the next videos. Thanks for all of the filming and voice work. Was great we could follow along.
Guess that is about it for now. Looking forward to the next video. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Quite the rip, wow! Pretty awesome that you have access to natural gas way out there in the country.
We sit on top of an old gas field
Impressive gentlemen... Very impressive. In all honesty, im a little jealous... Been a power freak my whole life. Watching you guys dragging has tripped my trigger. Thank you. Lol last time i enjoyed something like this was at a tractor pull watching a cabover torque twist a frame on the sled with a full pull with a super charged 12v71 under that cab. I was genuinely tickled that guy didnt break a frame rail lol he was staring at nothing but dirt with his passenger side door window lol
If it doesn't pull it I happen to know where you can find another big-bud to hook up to it. It's even really close by.
If I remember right the 525 is still having that steering issue. The 435 would still work
@@jthomp997 think he is referring to the king bud aka 747
Now that would be something to see
Suggestions and start planting your trees. Of course they need water where you live.

Wow such beautiful land, those views never grow old.
Great video as always. I really like how those two
tractors work so well together. Must be the operators 😉😉😉
Love watching those two monsters working together! And the tractors are cool too
You will get an awesome view from your new home Nick, also there seams to some black clouds over Montana😉
I enjoy your farming content, but also looking forward to your house builds even more so. Hoping you guys document a lot of the process!
Nothing like watching big heavy machines work hard for 20 minutes straight! Great close ups too!
I wonder how much easier it would be if that was a vibrating plow? And don't forget to bury a tracer line and id tape with the water line pipe so finding your water line will be easier when future gas lines are buried.
What’s the purpose of ripping the ground this deep? I always see it being done but never thought to ask.
@@kennystrickland5267 the pipes will freeze if they aren’t low enough
@@tristanlekvold6226 ohhh. So it’s for irrigation?
@@kennystrickland5267 they are putting in a waterline from the towns waterline to a place for a future house for scott
I don't know about a vibrating plow because it would be horrible on the pins and bushings I would think and the vibration could potentially wreck a laser receiver or gps units which are often used and of course they are mounted to the actual plow because they need to control the thing. On my plow " I was just an operator, "I didn't own it" I think I remember a pin or two that were about 5" square. The square also acted like a keyway to make the pins not turn and make the wear bushing turn. Kinda weird but with the tremendous force it makes sense. So I think vibrating would probably only work on small plows, maybe not quite as big as the one in this video but probably anything smaller. Something that helps make it pull easier? I used to weld the sides of my plow with stainless steel because stainless steel pulled easier through the ground than ABR400. We were often very concerned with a very precision grade, so it was important to keep all the linkage, pins and bushings tight. Sometimes running a grade on a 500th. You want accuracy. Precision to let drainage or pumped water flow at it's maximum potential for efficiency because sometimes it would have to go for many many miles where there was no electricity to put in pumps. This is a small plow in the video but a good size for this particular job. The bottom of my plow was about 11 feet long, the idea with a long plow was not just about capacity but also precision for the bottom of the trench where the pipe lays. A longer plow will always do smoother because it has way more area on the bottom of the trench. On big plows the capacity of digging down over 10' feet and 24" wide is common. However it usually was impossible to pull over 8' or 9' deep so everything that had to go to specific grade that deep was usually put in with an excavator. Usually if we needed more traction we would bolt up to 6" tall grouser pads onto the tracks. Can't do that with a farm tractor. However I hear farm tractors do good unless it rains a little and gets slimy on top. Then they just don't have traction. In these situations it's all about traction. If you spin out and can't go, You can't ever back up with the plow down. It must come up out of the ground if you need to back up. To restart you have to have a pilot hole.
Who says that you have to go to the fair to see the tractor pulls, All you have to do is go to the Welkers and see it in there field. Cool watching the sidewalls of the Big Bud tires crinkling. Love your videos Nick, Scott and Robert !
Cool stuff. Excited for you guys!!
Love the forethought. Really lookin' to your builds. Hope ya found some nice high ground :)
That’s just crazy that much hp and the plow and them tractors 🚜🙏🙏
You better start thinking about planting some trees for a wing break. Nothing where to hide from the Canada wind on that hill Nick. What a beautiful home site!!! Happy wife happy life is a true story!!! Lol!!
Boys and their toys! You have more fun that's allowed by law. God Bless the development.
The only thing I would say is this is way more torque then horsepower is love all your videos thank you for sharing the way use do it out West compared to the way we do it in PA
So now another wait until I get to see if one of those beastes can finish the job without blowing up towing that ripper thru that packed ground. The Big Bud was pawing at the ground and getting it done. Great video Welker family.
Frigging awesome love this stuff seeing these two tractors digging in. Old iron and new iron
Oh My !!!! I'm suffering from HP Envy!!!!!! Impressive is the least I can say!!!! Ep 3 here we come!!!!
How does that engine load and slippage compare to normal farming loads?
I've never seen those numbers before, but I'm just a guy watching from his computer.
When you are farming usually over 5% slip you either pull out or change what you are doing.
Wow, what an operation. Lots of muscle. Really enjoying this series. Looking forward to part 3.
Coming soon!
Outstanding video and many thanks for sharing. Very cool!
As a Swede living far up north where the ground is frozen solid about 6 months of the year, I approve of putting main water mains almost a good 6 feet deep. XD
The epa when you did the first rip and all that “bad smoke” went into the air 👀
That is a grand sight guys! You need a picture blown up for yourselves to poster size.
Awesome to see the plans starting. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏🙏
Great video once again, keep it up! Love those cinematics!
Just curious... Does that ripper get hot on those pulls? Seems like it would with all the friction involved in pulling it through 4-5' of soil.
I was thinking the same
They’re going too slow for that to be an issue
Of course it would get hot , friction courses that
700 degrees
There is a huge reason why normally they use bull dozers for that stuff. The bull dozers have better traction over those tires.
They know that, but they don't just have a couple million dollars laying around to get a D11
They could rent one or the better idea would have been to hire the trenching done by pros that have the Dozers
Yeah but it's so cool to see the two tractors pulling that ripper.
@@brianrutherford3681 but they already have the tractors so the cost of renting a dozer and having it trucked in would run up the cost ten fold versus just the fuel they’re burning and the cost to rent the ripper which is probably next to nothing.
Yes maybe but that ripper is working the tractors too much harder then they are meant to work.the repair cost could be higher later down the road.
From Tennessee love the family videos, I bet y'all find a lot of Artifacts plowing these fields, Arrowheads, pottery, etc....
Awesome to see those rigs putting in work
It seems so strange to me as an east coaster that you could be deep into farm country and have access to a natural gas an municipal water. Growing up on the east coast it was pretty much once you left the city and inner burbs you pretty much had wells, septic and heated with electric, propane or oil.
That’s about the longest waterline install I’ve ever seen for a home. It’s probably cheaper than drilling a well in your area. I figure that’s why you’re going with this option.
No ground water
The saying in southeast Alberta on water wells vs pipelines was "it's six miles either way."
Love that
The videos of you guys putting in this trench are amazing. The incredible amount of power required to pull the ripper is kind of mind boggling.
That is some awesome pulling power I'm glad you guys are showing the the different depths you're running at have you ever run the big bud behind a pulling slide before I better do great dirt man Virginia out 🚜🇺🇸
I saw 115,000 on the heading and thought it was Cole the Cornstarch trying to impress us about money.
😁
Is that easier than drilling a well? It is cooler than drilling for sure.
One must assume that they have some idea about it..
There's no reliable water under their lands, that's why they have to pipe water in from Shelby. That part of Montana is basically an arid desert prairie.
@@tedb.5707, where does Shelby get their water ? Thanks.
@@tedb.5707 Amazing they can farm it at all.
The Marias River runs just south of Shelby all the way from the Rockies to the Missouri River, and they have a reservoir. The Welkers have a private tap into the City water system near the water tank in town, and private piping from there to the home farm.
I love seeing the old girls snort across the field.
Winter wind chill factor must be off the charts with open country. Once house is up hopefully some tree wind breaks are in order like the home place.
I can see the problem already . The plow point is all wrong . Its a flat point with little rise . The point should be bigger and resemble a pyramid with a flat base . I can go that deep in 1 pass 450 total HP , 2 crawlers
And how many years of 60,000lbs of tractor have you run over your soil
that is my thought to! on my farm its all small light tractors my neighbour have large 300-500ph tractors. i cant plow their field the dirt is far to hard and yet i fly thru my field. They bean farming their land for 40+ years i broke the sod up last year. just because you'r exupment can do something on your land doesn't mean it able to on the other side of the road.
@@pizzamangametime9773 I pull in all kinds of fields and all kinds of soils for several co ops . That is just an old technology plow. That farm may look impressive and you may think that the equipment is big but in the west it is just average . Dont got me wrong , I think that the Welkers are fine people.
@@BillStecik yeah cuz you know these aren't the biggest tractors you can buy nowadays
@@pizzamangametime9773 Im not knocking the tractors . I love those Buds . Just saying the plow is old technology. You kind of missed the point. OMG Did you build that plow ? !!!
Nick it’s “Happy Spouse Happy House” not “Happy Wife Happy Life” you both need to be happy.
Awesome video guys, great drone footage thanks so much, take care 👍
YOU GOT TO PUT THIS PULL ON A SHIRT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
