[@rheeseb2748]

To the welker family, I am a maintenance tech at Unverferths at the kalida plant in Ohio, to be able to see our products that I watch be built everyday, make their way out into the world and preform the way we intend, is truly mind blowing, thanks for the kind words about our products we produce for you all!

[@CGW116A]

Bob's BIG grin said it all. He enjoys ripping rocks... especially in the Bud! Thanks Nick for the list of benefits and the con. Thanks Unverherth!

[@scaniav8master]

Nice to u all at work.... And very nice to see Legarms back in business again

[@danjohnston8700]

My goodness!!! I forget how much better video quality and cinemaphotography you have over everyone else. It literally gives me goosebumps at times with that epic music. What a joy to watch you guys getting back to normal, it's been a rough patch, so glad to see you coming out the other end of it, faith stronger, life growing, and family tighter. God Bless the Welkers. "Catastrophic" was very CATchy!!!!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thank you!

[@JohnReall]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@karuza82]

Outstanding quality. I came over from Minnesota Millennial site. Nothing but good words said about you guys from there.

[@396k20]

Hi. We have a bunch ground in northwest Oklahoma that was conventionally farmed since the 20's. We switch over to notil about 12 years ago. We started ripping a quarter of it each year with a Great Plains unit; it has helped so much production, you can see the areas that have been ripped contrasting the non-ripped ground. This fall we start to rip the ground re-ripped 4 years ago.

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

LEGARMS!!!! Great to see you back on videos!

[@rachelt2482]

You spoil us with those drone shots, love it! :) Thanks!

[@JaredHurst02100616]

Awesome machine setup! Always love the puns. They put a smile on my face. Thanks Welkers!

[@WelkerFarms]

Dad is the pun master!

[@rodriguezisrelic]

Really enjoyed your subtle use of 'our God' by Chris Tomlin. God bless from Australia.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

You will have a yield bump guys. You will be doing all your acres eventually. Yes you have to pick the bigger rock, but i would use a roller in the spring after seeding to smack the smaller ones back down flush with the surface for easier combining. A 60ft roller at 10mph will cover alot of ground. Plus it will give you better seed to soil contact for the best germination. Our ground here is alkaline and a little salty as well. Drain tile here helps. Tile only gets rid of excess water the ground cant hold. Deep ripping will get your salts down deeper, but you still need tile to wash them away so to speak. Awesome sunset shots by the way.

[@b.p.650]

Thanx a ton, for giving us the buds back ! It's great equipment ... and videos again..... don't break that big plow...

[@aaronspicer949]

There's allot to be said about the new equipment coming out these days, but that 600 bud is absolutely gorgeous

[@mikejburns]

Old Iron is amazing. Keep using it, fix it yourself. #righttorepair , less computers to complicate things..

[@cherbert359]

i wish some would actually start making these again that ne awsome

[@vonkel85]

@@cherbert359 can't do it due to EPA unfortunately

[@oscargrandle2109]

You should cross rip it due to the spacing on since it has never been done before. Do a test plot and see if there is any difference from just doing it one direction. Pick your knownest dry spot on the farm and do a small test area to see if there is a difference. Just a thought! Would be interesting to see if it would or not!

[@aideningram434]

And how can you not love that engine

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great to see Legarms easing back into action. Great video.

[@markreetz1001]

Very cool seeing the Big Bud and the ripper. It was great watching the Tractor pulling the ripper from behind the barn--like ta-da! here I am! And Bob, those puns are pretty "cat"ostrophic! lol! keep em coming!

[@anthonybanda8192]

We tend to do tillage on most of our ground here in Michigan . We found that notill farming works but not for long term . So we notill for 2 years and then on the 3rd year we run our johndeere 2730 ripper across the fields . We run a vertical tillage disk on corn stalks and soybean stubble to chew up the residue but yet still leave the soil minimally disturbed. With soybeans we get a 5 to 10 bushel yield increase by doing tillage . The hard pan stops moisture and roots . You guys will probably conserve moisture by deep ripping those fields. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !

[@robfishpond3026]

Is it me or do these videos never last long enough!!!! It always feels like I just started and then it ends. Keep the videos coming I love them

[@susanlister753]

Soooo true! I wanted more.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for the video. Lots of variety today. Lots of extras to do with your with bins getting your order in the bin. Understand stuff that eats metal. Nice to have old auger to use. Extra gravel-ya!!! The big bud appears to handle that ripper very well. Assume those new tires are a huge plus. Great. Nice field equipment you are using there. Really digs into the ground. Hope big buds transmission is ok. Thanks for this video and your time. Iowa farm boy from years ago.

[@sukhchainsingh3895]

I am from India, Punjab and I love your farming

[@geraldday1388]

Great to see Big Bud still going after all these years pulling modern equipment and with addition of modern technology adapted to it. Big Bud engineers should be proud of this. Old tractor outdoing new ones.Love watching them working in fields.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

The music really brings yu'all video to life...Thanks

[@BrianSmith-yn2zg]

Great to see Leg Arms I miss him. His wit and charm just adds that special something to each vid.

[@legarms51]

Thank you...

[@DJJezabella]

I see Scott, and his fingers are moving! Yay! Not crippled, Scott, healing! Love the Dad quote about cat litter preventing a catastrophe. *giggle* Didn't know that about hard pan, and your part of the world being a former sea bed. All together an interesting video. Thanks.

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Big Bud is the man for the plan!!

[@14Marathons]

Saw Bob and knew there'd have to be a pun soon to follow..."catatstrophy" with the cat litter...and then, rockin' his field work....LOL

[@alanstant9356]

Its always awesome to show off equipment but that new bud 600 really stands out above the others. Shes a thing of beauty and very strong to get the job done as long as she stays running.

[@bryanraddatz790]

Love the shorter video! You guys are awesome! Hope your families are doing well!

[@danfinley3690]

Wow what a beast thanks for taking us along for the ride have a blessed day

[@susanlister753]

I love the way that you 'bounce around'. Just like here!

[@johnahola3502]

Glad to see you all safe and well working together. God bless your families

[@harveystephens6115]

Glad you deep ripping. We use to use a three disk plow to do that. My vote is you will like it! I’d cross rip that alkaline place Big Bud seems to pull it well too. Hope filters and tranee gets fixed Enjoyed. LegArms good to see you back at it and healing well!!!!

[@scottsorby7966]

Thanks Bob, you didn't disappoint this time with 2 jokes 🤣🤣👍 Always a pleasure to see a Welker video on my subs list because you let this city boy understand more and more every episode - Thank you all!

[@dakkan5433]

Never thought i would see a big bud ripping again hah great video!!

[@booneblackmon7749]

You guys are awesome and have some awesome scenery sunsets

[@mleger2797]

Good to see you back Leg Arms...

[@manuelkohler4066]

I love the awesome Image of the Bud pulling that mighty Deep Ripper.

[@caterpillarslim1288]

That Bud is such a gorgeous tractor! Those optitrac tires really look great and seem to bite, grab, and go! Thank you for sharing and god bless! 🇺🇸

[@richardpoe2461]

You guys will be happy that you did that! It will benefit you.

[@BrettCraft]

Great video. Thank you for sharing your farm with us!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Great Video! Love watching Big Bud being put to work.

[@marcelmarion1785]

Wow glad to see Bud in Action and love your drone shots !!

[@mleger2797]

Good to see you back in action Leg Arms.

[@steverosenberger8671]

Hey it's good to see you Leg Arms up and about. You look like you're doing good.

[@warrenmaker798]

Deep Sub Soiling is one of the BEST ways to improve your fields. From experience, I would do every acre you own!

[@eldede_operator9887]

always happy to see welker videos

[@jameswilson3979]

Here in Illinois our rippers are set on 30” spacing. We pull a 9 shank case 2500 with case Steiger 550hd. We have found old farm foundations that we never knew was there.

[@lovejcdc]

That is an absolutely ridiculous awesome ripper. I finally got to see the big bud doing some deep tillage lol and ya'll are going to reap the benefits and that is awesome. God bless you guys

[@daniel_poore]

My boy loved that song you had about half way through, he got up and started dancing! Haha - also that deep riper is AWESOME. Sounds like its about time to make some offers on that BB 740 Dad and legarms looked at awhile back. Ive been hoping and praying that thing would find its way to a Welker Farms restoration. Surely Big Equiptment Co. would be interested in sponsoring a publicly presented amazing resto on it.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

That would be awesome 👍

[@davidschlecht3016]

Good video, nothing like BIG BAD BUD in action.👍

[@stevefrench652]

Awesome, you boys have all the toys 👍

[@KingBobBobBob]

Did I just get a Hollywood ad on a Welker video?! Wicked

[@thomasleonard1846]

Good to see LegsArm back in the field!

[@RoisinT2]

Nice to see the hand seems to heal up nice!? Thumbsup.

[@stevenpdxedu]

Big Buds rock!

[@TorturedPeace]

Employee of the month! I love it!

[@randaloopy]

Great to see Scott back!!

[@scottfabel7492]

Like your background music. I remember singing it at church. I think it was "Awesome God" or something like that. Thanks brother.

[@scottfairbrother]

Thanks for your awesome videos. These help my mojo with this funky pandemic!!!

[@WelkerFarms]

Hang in there! Don't let this madness get you down!

[@johnearhart8811]

Thats an awesome tractor. Thanks for sharing. God bless

[@FastAgMontana]

Amy walked in and asked “what are you watching? It sounds like a football game.” Nick, you said yard and that’s what came to mind. True Nebraskan!

[@WelkerFarms]

😂 That's hilarious!

[@wy34football]

What a small humble operation. So down to earth

[@ArchersView]

What a fantastic tractor & always good to see it working!

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey guys thanks for the great video, love seeing the Bud at work. Great to see Scott out and about, hope the arm heals up good take care and stay safe 👍

[@bradsunday]

Awesome machines. So happy to see leg arms healing very well.

[@PCgamestech]

I have to say its great to see leg arms back in action and in more videos glad to see your doing better!

[@tyler3148]

That’s just great to see you out in the tractor leg arms relly glad to see ur healing up good!

It’s the Cornstars that’s the Masters of the Auger Graveyard.

[@remmiemax3624]

Great to see Big Bud in action!!!! Rock On!...and yes I know Rocks can be cat-a-strafic!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thank you!

[@paullynch277]

Welker Farms check out this video from Australia - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4jIYZ9siteZetU seem to have similar soil and crop growing conditions that you have and they show the benefits they have seen from Deep Ripping

[@carlbritton5012]

Great to see Leg Arms !!

[@787Earl]

another great video, Deep ripping always produces a great workout for the rock-o-matic.

[@lancelarson6710]

Welcome to rock land. Here in iowa our ground my dad has is mostly gravel, we rock pick every year. Cultivate/soilsave, disk, plant, spray weeds, rock pick all sumer, harvest, roll beans, V-rip borders and hilltops, spread fertilizer fall/spring, spread lime fall if needed, fix equipmentand store for winter.

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

For those interested .. Big Bud content starts at 06:30 .....

[@peterbootsma6623]

Oh man I love that big bud!! Another positive thing when youre tearing up the ground is that oxygen will have a better access to the soil, which will help the new plants in spring to grow better. Love all youre vids btw👍🏻👍🏻

[@adbrubru5058]

Hi i love you im from Norway love you guys

[@DeepSingh-rl1jm]

Love to watch ur videos .big luv from India

[@thomasjtrunkersr.2774]

Love 2 watch u all& your faith is awsome also great success as u safely work 2gether

[@mintyman1968]

A big ol big bud runnin a big ol ripper. Gotta love it

[@muriloyung]

Man, I'm brazilian and I got so happy that I understand 99% of what you are talking, soooo fast ahahahhahah Keep up with the good work and videos! Amazing job

[@maxclement1502]

Online school lunch break. Always look forward to watching these on my hardest day which is Wednesday

[@robertquast9684]

Nothing like a deep ripper for finding rocks. The good thing about fracturing the soil is the roots go down which helps the plant but also puts organic matter deeper in the soil helping to deepen the topsoil layer

[@Varrig]

I hope that ripper makes a positive difference for next year! The 600 is looking great! Take care and God bless!

[@carbo2950]

So cat tastic! Enjoy watching greatness in action. Stay safe.

[@brianbarnes350]

Awesome to see it put to good use.

[@matthewjackson9092]

Great video awesome to see leg arms and your dad in the video keep up the great work great to see the video

[@makingithappen5178]

That tractor now has a very good paw print.

[@schmidthappensranch6415]

Love the Big Bud

[@ginggur17]

That ripper looks awesome, that’s some set up ya have indeed. 🤜🤜🤜🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Give the blue Pete some love please. A great old motor, deserving of some tlc and maybe some customisation 🙂

[@rongrose3746]

That ripper is something else !!

[@michaeldennis69]

Nice. Rock pickers on every farm in west NY, and some places stone fences too! Very nice job.

[@trevorbacelli]

Hello again fellows , when you are deep ripping its best to keep your speed at around 4.5 miles per hour, gives you better results, also less chance of breakage, I know you have big acreage but less speed is more with this work, you have hard pan and maybe the ground is hard from the permafrost as well, those big lime stone looking rocks will also do a lot of damage to the points if you travel much faster, it might be better to add a couple of extra ripper tines be a little wider to make up for lower gear at 4.5 miles to me 4.5 miles per hour is a sweet spot for the Big Bud, its doing a hell of a good Job, Best Wishes & Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Thanks again Trevor

[@MrLuke2623]

Looks like them tires are hooking up pretty good. Good to see the big 600 getting a workout

[@geraldfelchGoose]

Good to see crip out and about one good arm Put him to work Thanks Welkers

[@terrysadventure1529]

Awesome video guys. Prayers for legarms for a speedy recovery God Bless my friends. ~ Live laugh love ~

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, Interesting to see the guy with a random load of gravel turn up. the ripper looks great, what an amazing machine. thanks

[@robertwaters2772]

Absolutely brilliant sub soiling

[@jocelyngainche2578]

Great the compaction will be deeper now 👌

[@chrisferall5709]

Im glad to see leg arms is back working on the farm

[@robertfitzsimmons2507]

I was wondering if you guys did this on your acreage ever so often as it's a good thing to do once in a while just to break up the hard pan helping moisture get down deep which is both good for crops and drainage.

[@mcd5082]

That ripper is huge

[@gunn13fan]

Rockin the field work! LOL I love it! 🤣🤣
