Zack...Love your music choices. Before I contracted Sepsis, I drove an 18 wheeler. Somehow, I got into Alt Rock. Love it...and I'm almost 60. And, I think your channel is great...always entertaining, never boring. I think the viewers would be ok if you went into more detail about repairs and strategery about what you plant, why, necessary fertilizers, etc. Maybe you have and I missed it. I find it very informative. My family had farms, but not on the scale you operate. 150-1700 acres is very different than 10k. By the way...Becky is a beautiful woman...and your love for each other is so clear to see.

I noticed with our track tractors that they don't like even moderately wet soil. Even though the ground might be frozen, pulling that nine shanks makes it tough for a track machine to steer especially on a side hill. When power is put to one track while it is taken away from the other can be hard to keep on line in slightly moist/wet conditions with a 9 shank ripper. One way to tell I guess would be to bump up the ripper a couple inches with the scv while it is struggling to track with the auto guidance and see if it corrects. Could have also hit a shadow to where the radio wasn't getting full connectivity...…..

Hi I'm Jake I work on our family farm in the uk and am a 4th gen farmer on it, I saw one of your old videos recently and saw you pull round your massive battery charger; and as winter is coming your gonna have flat batteries... We discovered last year (during amazon black friday deals) a jump pack thing called a noco jump starter, we got the "gb70" and it has been seriously amazing - it just about jump starts our combine (NH CR8080 - 12.8 L engine) and any of our tractors (JD 6170R, NH T7.200 etc etc) and it can jump like 20-30 times off of one charge - it has been a champ. They do much bigger ones too and I honestly cant recommend them enough, if you get one i promise you will love it - give one a go!

Zack, put wet wipes in the tractor. Our clay soil is very different because the steel makes a smear and ribbons of hard compressed clay rock that will inhibit next years root development. We have to just stay out when the soil is wet. In this part of Texas we have dry windy winters except for blizzards. That might be why this is the beef feeding capital of the world.

[@stevenrogge7278]

The loss of traction triggered an old memory of a test Caterpillar ran during the development of their rubber track and a comment made by the engineer. It supports the moisture and some mud being force between the driver and the track. The driver tries to climb up the centering blocks and the blocks are designed to throw the vehicle back onto the track where it should be running and the dust reduces the friction between the track and driver, this is needed for these surfaces need a small amount of movement between them to operate properly. With that going on and a bit of moisture and mud would reduce the friction track to the driver even more because it is centering on the track continuously while it is negotiating a side slope and give you the uneven feel in the tractor movement. John Deers’s design will be slightly different from Agco’s design you would notice it immediately. It would be interesting to find out from the Agco folks what their thoughts are.

As to the steering problem, didn't you just spill a bit of diesel (oil) and then wash it of with (soapy) water?
