So glad the characters Dad and Jim are back for another season.
Thanks for your content.
bbhhvuhfvyeyuuugd💯😱✌👌d
You are very fortunate to have Jim. Not only do you have a great worker, but also a great advisor.
I love his demeanor, such a great guy it seems
I agree. Always cringe when someone says: „You’re fired Jim“ - a disrespectful blow below the belt
I thought he was family not worker
And a great friend.
@@jordandoyon9102 retired farmer neighbor keeping himself busy if I remember right.
Your dogs are the best actors on this show!
First of all, I am an engineer and retired from John Deere. Your comments about having engineers work on what they design rings close to home. I have been in conversations numerous times about the younger engineers not wanting to get their hands dirty, i.e., work on their designs. So different from when I started way back when. I got my hands slapped a number of times by union employees when I jumped in to help or do something that I shouldn't be doing. Thanks for keeping this ol' boy entertained and in touch with today's agriculture. Hopefully, planting is just around the corner.
As a electrical engeneering student in my final year I can tell you that not every young student hast this attitude but probably to mandy of us. When I die an internship a year ago, it was not unusal that we soldered the prototypes ourself unless it was an unusal difficult task. But in that case you would discuss the assembly with the one, who does it for you. Sometimes he hast a good idea how to improve the design for a more easy assembly. I think both aspects are really Important, but some students are not aware of that. And that's just one example.
But I think, it also ist Important to geht feedback from Others people, that work on a Produkt during its lifecycle. In the case of ag
equipment i.e. some of the people involved in manufacturing an maintanace. Of course this ist mit always possible, but you should at least think about a way to get some feedback.
@@markuswagner5754 sometimes, communication in the opposite direction is to blame too. Production/maintenance staff are rightly proud of their ability to solve problems in the field, but sometimes a simple design change could remove the problem completely. I remember as a young electronic engineer being horrified to discover that the factory had developed a whole procedure for adjusting component values for every different batch of a particular IC I had specified. A simple change of my choice of IC could have eliminated the whole problem - but nobody had thought to tell me.
I worked on JD equipment for some months, but was disappointed about some of the design of the machines. They are designed to be quickly made at the factory, but a pain to service and time consuming to fix. Great machines when they work as they should, no doubt.
Mechanical contractor by trade (40 years). Can’t tell you how many times, I have to educate the designing engineer on how his design is flawed!
Then they ask you how to fix it??
I’ve always say, before they put a pencil to paper, the must have at least 5 years in the field!
Great to see Dad back, unfortunately that means no more playing around and getting nothing done for you and Jim.😂🤣😂
God bless you and your family.

As a firefighter I'm so happy to see you taking care of your extinguishers. I see so many farmers and ranchers in my area never get them serviced and then when something happens have them not work when a fire starts and loose a machine or barn.
I have a shitty little extinguisher in my kitchen. Had it 4 years ... do I need to replace it?
@@furieuxx Yes, or just service it.
Normally you get them inspected/serviced once a year..
@@furieuxx yeah, you should replace your kitchen every 3 or 4 years. You are correct. The fire extinguisher should be fine though 🤣
Just a word of advice for the extinguishers if they remain in one area and just sit, turn them upside down and shake em. The dry chem will pack down when they aren’t moved around. You’ll feel the powder shake in new extinguishers.
You don’t have to go around and turn them upside down. Dry chemical extinguishers are made to have the agent at the bottom of the extinguisher. If you do go through and shake them up or flip them upside down within minutes of them being hung up the agent will be back down at the bottom with nitrogen at either 100 or 195 psi pushing it into the bottom to go out the down tube when the valve is opened.
Pirates favourite tractor was the best dad joke i heard in a long time
Greetings from south africa
my cousin met you at the alexandria hockey tourney earlier this year. he said youre the kind of guy he'd like to sit down and have a beer with. thats good we need more influencers like that.
I’m a 61 year old man and still laugh at your juvenile humor! Keep it up!
Jim
It actually was my nickname in college! 😁😁😁😁
I knew it!!!
@@MillennialFarmer that yellow thing inside your filler neck on that engine is supposed to be a funnel.
Great to see Jim in your video Zach
Good to see your dad back on the farm and on camera!
You know how to start a German Shepherd. Hilarious 😂
Time?
🤣🤣🤣 loved that quote
It's all fun & games starting them, once ya know how ta turn them back off 🙄
Did you just start and move that thing AFTER you drained the oil?! Oh, loved your Dad's jacket! I was born and raised in Dekalb, IL!
Several good "Dad" jokes. I LOL'd the slop fest at the pig farm... 14:24 oh my word so funny.
I love watching your channel. My family owns three tractors and one combine, John Deere, of course.
Greetings from Romania.
Good to see everyone good video
I couldn't handle living there with Spring coming so late and fall so early. But I enjoy the blogs and the farming content it's pretty cool to see.
It's a later spring here, not record breaking, but still late. I'm in south central MN about an hour south of the twin cities.
It seems as though we are paying for an extended fall. They didn't get all of that up and over there.
It can change quickly. Either way, get more wintery, or springlike. Thats how it is until about May.
18:49 I also work alongside my Dad farming here in Iowa and have caught myself mumbling under my breath many times. Good to see I am not the only one. 🤣🤣
Enjoy it because some day you will be willing to give anything to have him working alongside you.
I 100% agree with your comment and will miss it when I am unable to work with him and bounce ideas off of him.
@@scottdejong1307 I know you will. I lost my dad in 1984 and still miss his advice. Take care my friend.
Everytime you bring up not hooking the tillage equipment up, I think of the Shea lebuff clip of him yelling do it!!!
Just dooo it! Make your dreams come true!!
Monsoon season. Jim and your Dad should have there own reality show. Thanks for sharing. Makes my afternoon. Love how to start a german shepard.
That’s what she said is Legendary….
I would recommend for your extinguishers that there is a map showing where they are and all of them have a number tag saying where they are supposed to be so you know when you do your checks that your not missing any.
I was going to recommend the same thing....
"IN CASE OF FIRE, READ MAP"!! I'm not to sure that's going to happen.
@@paulcopeland9035 Not what the map is for ...only for inventory purposes.
So glad Dad and Jim is back for another season. I love your content.
Why wouldn't they be? Did I miss something?
Omg just had tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard! Made my day. So glad to see Jim and your Dad. Y'all are comical, dogs included!
Jim is great on camera he had me lol a few times throughout. Good to see your dad also. Damn engineers!!😂😂
Be happy your not going because of wet. I’m planting for the laser 10 days in south Alberta Canada It’s so dry and cold windy Not a promising start. I have 6” of subsoil moisture. Wish I needed a rope. Lol
Nice to see the boss is back in town. Have a good spring
Zach the oil cap is made in Wisconsin. I recognize it as one from where i work and i know we do make the one with the dip rods on them for John Deere as well as other parts for them.
I know that German shepherd sulk so well every time I hear Anna going pause the video because I think my Shepherd is yapping at something😂
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put for sharing.
0:59 you fool Zack, it's never just birds :D
Those are some nice shackles, hell yea brother.
Good to see you all working together. lots of humor. that is good. Love the dogs. Work never stops on a farm. You make it interesting..
Awesome seeing Jim and Anna.. Cool 🐕!!
I like how you fill the Oil filter. We don't do it , because the engine will pump them full. I don't knof its the same for these big Tractors.
Got my haircut scheduled for Saturday morning at 8:30
Just a fyi, make sure all of your fire extinguishers are mounted on the wall with their proper bracket. If they sit on the floor they collect moisture and rust faster.
Getting 'the shivers' when you drain the oil never gets old!
You’re a comedian.😂and don’t remember seeing you that dirty 😂Lol. Enjoy the video. Lots of humour.👍❤️🇨🇦
Just so you know, you don't need to prefill any filters. Turn the key on and let the filters fill for a minute and you'll be fine. I work for a Deere dealership.
I spit my drink all over the kitchen when you hit us with the piss shiver😂😂😂 My girl was like what are you laughing so hard at? "You just wouldn't understand babe." 🤣🤣🤣
Great Job training Anna. She tells you when the pumps are working, now train her to sit when the key is on and no pump sounds occur.
If your looking for additional fire safety, every month or so take those fire extinguishers and turn them upside down a couple times to keep the extinguishing material fluffed up inside. Don't know if your inspector guy told y'all about that. Oil and gas industry type procedures there
You guys are my favorite farm trio. Thanks for another great upload. 👍👍
"I'll get you a towel " - to the mice! Classic Zach
Great to see your Dad in the video Zach
I recognize what you were listening to in the truck, been watching since then
Never fill fuel filters. Unless your pouring it in the little holes around the edge, your filter is full of unfiltered fuel. I always just use the bleeder screw and hand pump/electric pump to prime. It’s not a huge deal on all the newer common rail engines. Note there’s no air bleeder screw on any of those systems. Just cycle the pump a few times and let her buck. I guess in the land of dead batteries you might have to take a different approach tho.
(Yawn...)
Tons of equipment in the world that has always had filters prefilled with no issues 🙄🙄🙄 this subject is getting so old.
@@94chevyz71 doesn’t matter, if the manufacturer says not to prefill then don’t prefill🤡🤡🤡
@@bigcheese370 how bout the equipment I pay for I use how I see fit and change the filters how I see fit? Considering I’ve never had even 1 seconds problem with any Deere or Case tractors or combines on this farm. This whole don’t pre fill is the stupidest argument in the world today.
@@94chevyz71 its just not necessary, why go through the hassle of spilling it everywhere when you can just let the system prime with the ignition on.
Hey Zach if you disconnect the negative cables on the batteries there won't be a draw on them and they might make it through the winter time I always like to charge once a month through the winter time but they will oxidize in the inside of the battery in the winter time if they're hooked up whether they're new or not
A lot of years ago in an ag engineering course we had to figure out a problem and I reached a point where I couldn't go any farther. I asked the instructor and he said looking over my work, that what I had done was right and to get further in the problem I needed to use a SWAG factor. When I asked what that was, he said it was somebodies wild ass guess!!! I said that explains a lot of farm equipment problems
In my engineering business we call it "scientific wild ass guess"!!
@@paulcopeland9035 Still rings true even though I first heard it in the mid sixties !
At 6:20 it was cool to see the rope stretch and let off as the truck moves.
If I’m remembering right, that 15 liter in the Deere is a cummins 15L. I know more than well about how stupid the fuel filter location is. In a semi it’s even worse with the frame rail right in front of the filter. Have to go full horizontal to get it in and out.
So the batteries on the trucks seem to die due to power loss in the system. Why not add a battery disconnect to them like on the tractors, should be an easy install?
you don’t need to put diesel in those filters you turn the key on for a minute then shut it off and repeat it it’ll start right up
Your dad has some nice color from Arizona. Enjoy him and Jim. Life is short. People are special.
I stand firm in my belief that engineers ought not act like they cannot get dirty. They should not be allowed to develop a design for anything until they have an understanding of what it is to maintain, service, and operate the items of their trade. There's a lot of equipment out there that would be better cared for if human beings could actually reach the items in question.
good to see dad back n jim he always fun
I’d be happy to trade that rain and cold for my drought. My area of Nebraska hasn’t seen rain in 8 months and the wind hasn’t quit blowing since it started probably a month ago
The dog barks at the high frequency noise coming from the Cab Control Module when you turn the key to on.
Don't spoil the fun!! Timmy's in the well again.
Nice to see a well organized farm, with everyone enjoing what they are doing and always get a great explanation of what is what ! ( from Canada )
Cool to see dad and Jim they really make the videos
That was great Zach enjoyed it great explanations Jim is fantastic great guy thank you for sharing and your time always watch every video and can't wait for next one.
cant tell you how many bottles of those hot sauces we have in our pantry , from friends and relatives mostly at Christmas. Don't know if we've ever used any. Great video today, lots of dog content. Anna sure starts up easy with the turn of the key. Her batteries never go dead. Love Anna.
The new common rail engines do not air lock like the old mechanical injection engines. Have you tried opening the fuel tank and listened for the bubbles from the return line. I do that on the truck. No bubbles and she starts and runs with no issues.
the haircut but is hilarious because my mom calls me lloyd when i get a little shaggy on top😂
Oil changes feel sooooo goooood.
Anna cues off the fuel pump firing up when you turn the key to the first click.
Great video Zach
Would love to see a Q and A with you , your dad and Jim!
Glad to see you Your Dad and Jim back together means it’s getting close everyone is wet even us in Northeast Georgia see y’all on the next one
Nice hair cut Lloyd. Love your channel I have been watching probably two years
thank you for doing the videos
Maybe crappy batteries you wouldn't think both sets would be bad though I guess we have seen that before though . Semis we have old ones they have draws in them. All we did was put new batteries. And a Deadman switch mounted down by the battery box. Haven't had any issues since!!!! Nice e to see your dad back around again!!!
On vertical filters, poke a hole in it and drain it before making a mess.
Why don't they mount them right side up? That would work like a settling bulb and keep the foreign material down low and reduce the chance of bad things ( and water) going to the pump & injectors.
Easier to change too ya?
But, I'm not an engineer 😁
20:05 Good there Jim 👍
Someone has to tell the engineers to learn a lesson
They designed crap like that already in the 70s. Fuel filter right on top of the start motor, so the whole soup ran over the starter every time and you could change it every other filter change as well.
Hey those engineers went to school a long time to learn how to put things in the hardest to reach places and most inconvenient locations. 😆😁
@@michelle778 The dumbest thing I have come across is an up side down oil filter over the ac compressor and the multi-belt. They have thought a bit about drain plugs but it still takes a lot of paper to not get oil on the belt
“Your making quite a mess”! Pre pumping oil all over the shop floor! 😂 Go Jim!!
Instead of diesel fuel we always use conditioner and two stroke oil to fill out filters up
Gives the whole system a good cleaning and the two stroke oil adds a great lubricant to everything after sitting all winter
Also much easier to fill filters up then using a big fuel jug
I notice how you love your dogs it’s says a lot about a person you’re a good man Zach
Pirate joke had me rolling!
Yankum need a running start to stretch and Yank-ive used similar ones and the stretch works -land cruiser Fj62 and a full size motorhome at the Beach.
Thanks for another great video Zach. Enjoyed it.
Great to see your dad back home. To bad the weather is not better for him. Let him wrestle with the truck batteries.
I have been thinking about them and there has to be a answer somewhere on why they go flat. Even with a battery disconnect.
Strange deal??????
Hope someone comes up with a answer.
Good to see Jim again. Good guy you got there.
I have to laugh about the comments about engineers on the tractors. You got several comments back from actual John Deere engineers that have a reason why it is that way. Had to laugh over those comments. Oh boy. Make sure Jim reads them.
Anna is really keyed into the tractor starting. She never misses. I agree with you Zach, she will not like the cab at all and probably will not stay in there. Oh well.
Good delivery service getting your filters and such. Hardly any wait. Very nice.
Seems always jobs to do around the farm. You can keep busy all the time.
Messy and sloppy in your neck of that woods right now. Spring time.
The haircut thing. I have mine super short so just get someone to run the clippers over my head and off it comes. Close to being bald anyway. No cost on the haircuts.
About it for now. If you find a answer on this battery thing, please clue us in.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Zach. Appreciate the filming and thanks to Becky for editing.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
😊👍👋🇺🇸
18:20 Marty T noticed iron filings on threads of new filters...
Good to see your dad back, poor guy comes home to snow
Zach suggestion re the semi truck batteries always being dead. There are 24 volt cutoff switches available that have a key fob remote control.
I saw one on an industrial generator so I know they're out there. You just clicked the remote and the cutoff disengaged so the computer wouldn't kill the battery while the machine was sitting idle. Those truck batteries are so expensive it'd be worth a try. Maybe somebody out there knows who makes one.
Our haircuts usually end up at the B A R
love your videos! much love from Norway!
On the 9570r you do not have to fill the fuel filter up just turn the key for 2 mins along with the oil filter,, along with the 8r series
That pee joke about the oil never gets old lmao🛢💧😂
Hair? What hair, I don’t have that problem 😂 😂😂
Woohoooo!!!
Lunchtime and Zach the agro-actor at the same time, I am SO EXCITED!!!🚜
Why not bring the old oil tote to the drain pan and pump it in the shed. Why haul the pan across the yard?
I have been studying your dog in the last few tractor videos and I believe your dog hears that pump fire up and then she sounds the alarm to any of the kids that maybe playing near.
"Neighbor called...he's got a feed truck stuck next to the hog barn" - Things you'd never hear in Minneapolis.
🤣 never thought of that
I love how Anna's barks perfectly match the tractor starting sounds! Nothing like a barking tractor..... I think you should patent that for all of the dog lovers out there....
I still get that Lloyd christmas vibe. Also please tell me your buying a crop duster 😂
Dairy Queen Flamethrowers are so underrated
7:55 if you tilt your bucket too much back (Loading motion), at some point the hitch automatically closes. in that spot you cant get it to stay open. you have to tilt out a little more. there will be a posiotion at about halfway tilted out where the bucket hangs only in the upper hooks and you can easily unlock your bucket because there's no stress on the lock bolts.
I had buffering, ad, still buffering; almost places like they intended to
