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.

I love my Bubba rope (same idea as yankum) for the very reason you demonstrated. No hard yank, just tension then release as it comes up... no break, no shackle through the window...

I can't wait till planting and see the 2nd planter in action :D

[@johnv8757]

It's great to see your kids wanting to ride with you and driving the tractors.. I might be getting grey whiskers but I still remember my uncle stopping the old Oliver 77 by the farm house. He would leave it in gear so all I had to do was turn the switch and push the starter button with my foot then drive to the milk house and shut it off.. must have been around 8 years old.. and picking rocks they would let me idle across the field steering the Oliver 550... good memories

You ought to get some extra of those Yankum ropes, and permanently run them from the drawbar mount to a mount on the weight bracket. Then when you get stuck, all you've got to do is unhook the rope from the weight bracket, attach the tow strap to it, and you're pulling from the drawbar. Nice and easy. That's how we run our scraper tractors anyway.

[@jkorth2012]

Just the tip, and only for a minute: If you pair the GoPro with your phone via wifi while you are recording, there is a function in the GoPro app that will make your camera beep, so you can find it. There is also a remote you can buy for the GoPro if you don't want to fumble with an app. Sincerely, - Someone who has also lost GoPros off of equipment
