At some point playing in the mud gets tired. Thanks for showing how you deal with the mud in the tracks and on the tractors and implements.

[@WelkerFarms]

Congratulations on 300k guys!

You guys are so nice

Thanks Nick!

Congrats

[@hulmestanner]

A local spray company had an 8rt that they put saddle tanks and a 3pt 120 foot sprayer on and they kept burning through bogey wheels. They ended up finding a poly bogey wheel that Deere has that dissipates the heat better. I’m not sure if that’s what you guys already have but it’d be something to look into

[@kurtiskoehler4196]

[@MC-re2ry]

I'm glad you folks do what you do because we need your corn for fuel and your soybeans for plastics -- but I have never understood how you sell all your outputs for wholesale, pay full retail for all your inputs and come out ahead. Plus the sress.

My grandpa would say..."you mean farming?"

[@pnwRC.]

$700 a pop, 12 of them, & ONLY 1,200 hours, WOWZERS! That's INSANE‼ Does this at least come with some 🧴Lotion?

[@jimbrown8818]

Not that you would use it often, but have you ever considered building a stand to hold the hose? I'm thinking like a hose cannon you see on airport fire engines. That way, you could swivel and pivot the hose without having to support it or "fight" it all day. Just a thought.

[@tylerfelske8547]

Put a ripper shank in front of the ditcher to make it easier in hard ground and it deflects some rocks

[@davetunbridge6637]

Just a pleb thought, could you make a water canon that injects high pressure air from a compressor into the water stream at the nozzle. I’ve used these cleaning ship holds and it’s very effective.

[@patrickerger1483]

[@robertquast9684]

I wonder if your wheel problem has to do with the narrow tracks and the amount of weight they carry. Also I know dust lubricates the tracks but what about wallowing in the mud

[@johnholland3360]

Have you give thought to using a single middle buster to cut the drainage ditches

[@jenandjames1]

putting them fertilizer saddle tanks on the 9rx isn't causing to much stress on the boggie wheels are they

[@jayfarmer3911]

I have found that keeping the speed down on the narrower track machines almost eliminates bogie issues. Red or Green. I run both and don't let the guys run them over 17 mph. Thats plenty fast. On the Deeres i actually go into the monitor and set up a max speed.

[@davidcolgan3268]

Worked for Deere but now retired. About 10-12 years ago, the original single track 9000’s had similar bogey wheel issues. I wonder if the same thing is happening again? P.S. I do enjoy your videos!

[@ronaldheit196]

Hey Chet, you can source American made shirts, hoodies and other clothing now that's ten times better qaulity than Chinese made crap. And you don't have to worry about your products sitting in container ships offshore of San Diego or Los Angeles. I've no doubt your buyers would pay more for Made in the USA products that buy import crap that falls apart in less that two years at best. Well, this was an interesting video tho.

[@jordanvierling7274]

I’m asking because I don’t know but wouldn’t a single plow be better and keep the soil in place?

[@kred3208]

why dont you run the case up down in the creek to loosen up the dirt

[@GAbel338]

We have one of the earliest 620rx 4000 hours never lost a rubber

[@armedfarm3429]

And you don't slog around in the mud like these guys I bet. It's the frozen mud chunks knocking them wheels to pieces. The ground is frozen on top and gets in the boogies, and the mud freezes up in the boogie wheels like rocks overnight.

[@ibelieve3111]

[@gerhardrichter8626]

How come Dougo gets to wash equipment in the garage and Chet and the Big Swede have to stand in the cold?

I hope you pay Eric well! Good help like he is, is a very rare thing these days! It doesn’t go unnoticed, out here, in, KZbin land!!

[@somersfarm1921]

Yep, it is very rare to find good help, although I think Eric grew up on a farm, so he has been around it all his life, so that makes a huge difference. But Eric is a dang hard worker, there is no doubt about that. Heck up until a couple weeks ago I thought him and Chet were brothers,lol. Plus Eric treats things like its his farm too, rather than just acting like a employee, which is also rare to find someone who is both a hard worker and does things like its his farm, instead of just doing what asks of him and thats it.

[@jimjamess8633]

[@leelaunt369]

Chet we run pretty much the same green you have you are on the right track with the fire hose in Ny State we have gumbo mudd the stickiest clay there is we use a 5000 Gallon water truck with a 6 or 8 inch feed hose to a fire engine running wide open pumping 1000 Gal a min( im guessing) to a 3 inch pressure hose with a high pressure nozzle probably 90 PSI to 100 PSI a fire hydrant pushes 60 PSI and it blasts that clay right out we still have to hot water pressure wash to finish you just need to super size your pump and hose alot more GPM and alot more pressure will do the trick

That's why you don't buy a John Deere with pretend quad tracks. Case IH has perfected them and the rest are just trying to figure it out. John Deere just don't get it and don't have the lugging power of the red ones.

[@-lifeasafarmer]

It might be expensive to run a Deere, but it’s all worth it in the end… great video

[@Mark_Tschetter]

If you sell that old 4640 and replace it with a newer one then you're basically marrying yourself to the dealership, but I like my independence and selfreliance. I keep these old tractors around just for independence and peace of mind reasons, anybody that's a little mechanical minded can fix them. You shouldn't get rid of it for that reason.

I am glad you Guys like tracks but one wash job like that and they would be down the road! I have worked on farm equipment all my life and I can’t believe how unreal expensive tracks are to buy and maintain like the boogie wheels on your 9RX! If I farmed I would run LSW tires, they are amazing! Just my 2 cents worth. Keep the videos coming as I really enjoy watching your videos!!

[@armedfarm3429]

The wet mud clumps basically turn into dirt rocks when they freeze. Wintertime in the morning and you want to get to work out in the fields & no time to clean, the frozen clumps will tear the hell out of everything. Amazing there is anything left!

[@BRPFan]

@@armedfarm3429 I have heard that before from other farmers. It wouldn’t matter as much if a person farmed in a warm climate were it never freezes. But then again the whole tracks are super heavy as they are you wouldn’t want to carry all that extra weight from the mud. I hear trying to buy a new track is very hard and if you find one the price it outrages!

Agree with you Dougo. Hang in there. Your ditch digger really came apart hitting all the rocks. Assume it can be fixed. Tough weather to operate in.

​@@BWYinYang As a retired engineer I find it hilarious that people think things can be "designed to fail." It's a real challenge to design them to work. Figuring out all of the part's use variables and then having the part fail at a certain life cycle point is nearly impossible. It's far easier to design the best part or system you can within the budget and manufacturing constraints given.
