FARM SHOP TIME | Fall Tillage Equipment Repairs

[@imgone52]

It is good to show the inner workings to the viewers. The shop hours add up over a year. A plus is that Matt appears to be a fun guy. :-)

[@bigtractorpower]

Matt is a great guy and good farmer.

[@peteparker7396]

Matt G!!!! Look at it this way,,,, you are only a few short weeks away from being back in the field!!!! Down here in the land of the Texas fireball it never ends,,,, and it’s all mixed together!!! Never stops! We will be ripping and deep braking until probably February,,, then go again!

[@michaelward7175]

Great video of Matt working on equipment. Would love to see shop videos this winter of equipment being repaired and cleaned. Matt is great.

[@timwestendorf8303]

BTP. I love the content! You and OLF are an everyday watch for me. Keep up the awesome content

[@jimmystrain5943]

Love seeing what all you do in the shop

[@crslyrn]

Looks like Matt has the chore of the never ending repair list at the farm shop. Yep, that'll make you talk to yourself while doing that, that's for sure. Stay safe.

[@andrewschott3635]

Really enjoyed the shop time!

[@brianruane8505]

Another excellent video1 Its always nice to see the various tractors and machines in operation - but seeing what happens when these are not operating is very interesting!!

[@TF21Snowman]

harding rods for stick welding are wonders for making stuff last a little longer weld ed up many points and shanks with them. they would last longer than the mig welds they are doing guess they have started making hard surfacing wire just looked it up only ever new of stick rods

[@Thundra74]

i suggest you to apply to the front of v-rippers with wear resitant alloy like Hardox or other commercial Manganese vanadium alloy

[@MrEdelong]

I wanna know everything we can about this farm. Very impressive operation!!!!!!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. I have been filming their seasons for about 20 years. BTP has all their seasons from 2010 to today.

[@ralphclinejr2770]

The way the shank looks like what Matt was showing they are going at least 4 to 6 inches below the hard pan maybe should shallow the implement up and utilize the horsepower of the tractors

[@Bambisekin]

Big tractor Challenger

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

I will pray for you Matt 😁 would like nothing more to come and give you a hand 💪

[@20RM02]

Only if we had someone in Europe like you...and to also speack in english

[@4gauge10]

That's not a good idea being in the shop by yourself Matt.In my shop,the "buddy system"for safety is the best practice. Just be careful and we viewers will say a prayer for you.

[@theloniousm4337]

Matt is probably one of the least alone people working on a farm there are. I spent many days at it where there wasn't another human for 2 miles including the depth of a Canadian winter.

[@smokken10]

What type of wire do you use, mangan, crome, titan ?

[@eddiebalentine7938]

Yes i'm going to like these. Great to see Matt in the off season, as he is a plus to their operation. thanks for the video.

[@ralphclinejr2770]

What is the name of the farm and how many acres total do they form not including double crop

[@dirtthunder1638]

Just like welding up the hammers on a rock crusher but much easer on a bench then laying on you back down in a steal box.

[@glenncerny8403]

Well Matt, I look at monotonous jobs as mental therapy. Enjoy the peace and quiet and just dig in cause its gonna take a while.

[@TF21Snowman]

the wonderful kentucky rock farms. at 6:30

[@bigtractorpower]

Their is a Rock quarry not a mile from that field.

[@jacobsteitz4433]

Hey Jason how did you first get to meet Matt and the Garnett farms crew

[@bigtractorpower]

Great question. I first visited The farm in September 2000 to see their corn harvest. I grew up in an area in WNY where 6 row combines were the standard with the JD 6600, 7720 and 9500 the most popular combines. I rode out to the field and was amazed to see three 9610s with 1293 corn heads. Seeing 12 row combines was huge. It was evening and the John Deere dropped off a new 9750STS with a 1293 head for a demo. As the sun went down and the lights came on seeing 4 12 row combines was awesome. I rode with Billy in a 9610. They had two 8410 tractors on 1040 Kinze carts. I met Matt 15 years ago. I was sharing pictures of the farm on my website ToyTractorShow.com and Matt saw them and contacted the farm for a job. I think I first met Matt in wheat harvest he was on grain cart duty running a John Deere 9220 on a Kinze 1040 cart. Matt has worked hard and moved up in responsibility to being one of 3 sprayer operators, one of 5 planter operators and one of the combine operators. For combines it 7 or 8 in wheat and 5 in corn and soybeans.

[@joshuadix2091]

Anyone else want matt to start a youtube channel?

[@piperdoug428]

But Matt we're not real....the camera you thought you were holding wasn't actually there..... you're not really reading this......WHOOOO AM IIIIIIIII??????

[@lukebecker1959]

Second comment

[@andrewbibby7060]

Hi mat,, get some wind blowing all that shitty fumes and dust of ya.. Other than that mate great vid, workshop.

[@rickyheming3700]

I cringed when he laid the grinder face down. NEVER a good idea to lay a grinder down like that.

[@mndew620]

Love the equipment videos, but it's really great to see the behind the scenes shop work. Great job !!!

[@bigal2298]

Need to get yourself a good fresh air supply filter for all that welding , breathing all that Argo will make you talk to yourself, Stay Safe , great videos

[@tandemwings4733]

Nah. Don't be so dramatic.

[@jimmystrain5943]

I tell you Matt, I like what you are doing that be right up my alley work in the in the winter , nobody bothering you , I'd love it ,you got it going on , buddy , love the videos , keep it up , put a pot of coffee on for your break time , ,see you in the next video God Bless

[@joelhenderson5526]

Matt it may not seem like it is important what you do but without men like you a farm couldn't run or operate God bless!

[@paulreed6340]

Both Billy and Matt sure do seem like good guys. Good friends to have

[@bigtractorpower]

They are. Thank you for watching.

[@philipfoster373]

Yes finally some nuts and bolts of the behind the scenes of this operation. Looking for seeing more.

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! I allways enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Portugal.

[@jacksak]

Matt, I sent my thoughts and prayers, but you still have to weld...

[@888HUSKERS]

Matt I’d trade you in a heartbeat, I work with servers and sensitive information all day. I intentionally have forced myself to be outside or on small engines because office life is soul draining. None the less you asked for prayers and I’m always willing pray for someone.

[@mattyoder8634]

I love seeing "the whole season" from one farm including the winter shop work

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

Best thing I can advise Matt is put a radio in the shop we have one in ours and it makes the day go by so much faster doing tedious work I personally hate hard surfacing especially chisel plow points

[@emerkamp1]

Hey Matt, that much welding and i'd get a good helmet. I got an Esab SENTINEL A50 Auto Darkening helmet and wish I gotten it years ago. I used to weld for a living while farming, now just farm. They are pricey, 300, but the head/sweat band is built top notch. Way more view. Got the kit wGloves on amozon. I think their built in Sweden. Music helps too.

[@bendocherty9429]

I think vids awesome because I wish I could be in the Cab of one of those pulling that ripper. I enjoy operating the Tractors we have but we Plough with 2 New Holland T7. 125. The 125 is the HP but we have had them boosted to 190HP

[@randallmidgley7589]

Matt it's OK brother, talking to yourself, that's what we do, I've hard faced scrapers and rebuilt Cat rippers and blades. What you need to worry is when you argue with yourself, and you start loosing the argument 😂💊😎

[@devandulin6073]

I think Matt should start his own KZbin channel. Great job Matt, we need more people like you in this country.

[@iamatt568]

Thank you, I would like to! However I lack the time to dedicate to editing videos and posting unfortunately. For now I’ll leave the heavy lifting to Jason. Maybe someday

[@jesusfs30]

Hello from Spain!! Fantastic Channel!! Which material does he use for welding? Is It special for wear?

[@treyinok]

Well done BTP and Matt. Love to see all aspects of the farming operation. Everything is important to keep the farm running smoothly.

[@markbowling3475]

All your videos sound like a robot , (city slicker ) dont know why there are so many are on here , what happened to the plain farmer that provided real U.S.farm application that applies to every U.S. farm , thumbs down for your channel

[@Parents_of_Twins]

What kind of wire is he using? Looks like a flux core as I don't see any gauges hooked up to the tank. Please tell him to wear safety glasses. It's dangerous and he may have done it a thousand times with no problems and the next time he may lose an eye. It happens and I would hate to see him get hurt over something so simple. Hell the nice welding hoods have a grind function but he should still be wearing safety glasses when removing the slag.

[@larryvollmar8763]

As a farm raised mobile welder Ilove this type of work. Needle scaler works great or beads and creates a small surfacing on them to help lest longer.....great work!!

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Tell your friend Matt that unless he wants to have a piece of steel drilled out of his eye to wear safety glasses. I've worn out my share of grinder blades and have, knock on wood, never gotten a piece in my eye but I always wear safety glasses even when I'm welding. The slag can snap up off the weld hard enough to get into your eye as well so it is just common sense to always wear safety glasses. Stay on him until he does it.

[@woolliehead]

like all jobs Matt there is always boring work to do at least you look like you love working there having come off a farm that is the most amazing workshop I have seen you are very lucky you are pretty much your own boss I would bet there are a lot of people in your trade would give anything to have a job like you have all the best

[@bendocherty9429]

Your doing great job and if u didn't do it the whole operation will come to stand still. Enjoyed the video and it reminds me the Ploughs are gonna need some work.

[@GICK117]

Hey Matt, my son works as an engineer. He designs and test hardware on the Large Hadron Collider. He gets to go to Europe a lot, however, he gets into the same rut. Testing circuit board day after day, week after week, is probably about the same tedious situation. Just smaller parts. I get it. Hang tough. I tell him to pray. It helps him. Your job looks like a lot of fun for the most part, but a job is a job after awhile. He free climbs rock faces to alleviate the stress. I send prayers to you. Thanks again, Bigtractorpower Guy.

[@iamatt568]

Luckily this job only lasted 3 days and I was onto something else. It’s never the same. Always something to work on or operate.

[@easchit]

Probably one of the most telling. BTP videos. Shows what it takes to keep the big tractors in the field. It’s all good Matt. You’re not alone. We’re watching and appreciating

[@iamatt568]

Thank you! Luckily the welding only took a few days. Onto something else!

[@brandonthomas1298]

It’s amazing how all the deep ripping they do and still keep finding those huge rocks

[@bigtractorpower]

Rocks push up over time so thee is always a new crop to contend with.

[@brandonthomas1298]

bigtractorpower o ok I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info

[@vortexrace]

Deep tilling is impossible where I'm from. Rock bed literally 1 to 2 feet down across the entire farm. Jealous of this rockless ground

[@leesteele9290]

Somehow the first times Matt made appearances in your videos he struck me as the go to guy around there ! I'm sure there are truck drivers and other essential employees around there too but when out of all,the employees they make sure he stays fully employed and to be in charge of maintenance says to me he is a valuable asset and needs to be taken care of ! Working by yourself is kind of a double edged sword . Boredom , as with those shanks is no fun ,gotta make a game out if it ,how many an hour or day or something like that .Or you could have one of these smart alec kids nowadays telling you how it should be done and complaining about having to work to hard while playing on the phone !! Somehow I bet he'll have a little time off before spring and be ready to try out one of the many new machines this operation always has to work with and see what that does !! Thanks for the new kind of video !

[@bigtractorpower]

Matt is a great part of the farm. There are other good guys to know on the farm too. They make a great team.

[@brentfarrow8125]

More power to you Matt I’ve hard wielded tracks on a dozer before man what a boring job. 😎

[@scruffy6151]

Time to fix things up so they can be broken again oh the joy of working on equipment.

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@lanestacey7335]

Shop/farm tours would be really cool videos!!!

[@jamieshields9521]

Enjoy watching Matt do workshop fixing definitely different insight, at moment we harvesting canola n wheat with drought our canola has done well but wheat didn’t fill out good as we miss last rain before harvest n in between harvest we are shearing sheep. Wool is also effected with drought with dusty backs (broken wool fibres) which is from stress from lack of feed. Rest of summer is chasing water for sheep n flystruck, then back tillage/burning stubble in Autumn with sowing usually winter to spring is our workshop maintenance as well as fencing.

[@Pete-from-Tn]

When we were building homemade Log trailers. I got burned out on welding. But was welding 17ft welds. And each side of the I-Beam got 5 of those baby's. After the 5th trailer, I could almost do it in my sleep. Then Hard faced a D9 blade, that made me hate welding.

[@BRHood]

Matt back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth we put steel and 7018 rods for days on subsoilers, your welding machine with the wire may make it easier look for an old guy at wire soft

[@albertafarmer894]

It's awesome that you are doing these types of videos now along side the regular videos.Makes it even more interesting.There was an article in a mcdon magazine a little while back a featuring Garnett farms annd Billy and his brothers,was an interesting read. Matt might start his own youtube channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@harveystephens6115]

Matt what you do is vital to the operation! Without those shanks being fixed and available means plows sit idle. 😩 Not a good thing. Enjoy watching you work.

[@edcrego396]

Wow lot of work for one guy look at the bright side your working ,very nice shop they run alot of JD equipment so there can't be a whole lot to do right I don't know never ran a JD never will just going buy what other farmers say (lol) joking aside very nice farm thanks great video I like shop tours

[@markreetz1001]

I really enjoy videos of repair and maintenance of the equipment. I think it gives a better understanding of the equipment and the processes involved on a farm. I think many people would be amazed at what it takes to get a ripper to stay in the ground and perform like they do. Great video! It's okay to talk to yourself as long as you know it's you doing the talking!

[@ajadrew]

I'd happily send Matt some cake...trouble is he wouldn't have time to eat because he has so much welding to do 😊

[@FROSTY2588]

This guy shows how nutty you can get out on the farm when you aren’t around many people, then suddenly you have a camera in your hand and you’re expected to video yourself. Hahahaha this was a good video with the vlog style at the end, Keep it up!

[@duncantaylor2301]

BTP Matt is absolute legend I definitely could have a bloke like him working beside me and we are pretty much the same and to see I’m not the only one doing this sort of stuff 👌😎👍🇦🇺

[@bigtractorpower]

😎👍👍

[@kengordon7613]

Matt -- now you understand why I went to law school. VBG

[@markstengel7680]

Interesting. I'd get some music playing inside your shop, maybe a dog & and or a cat too. Fun Watching BTP🚜🎄👍

[@MrEst1953]

Thank God your not doing it with a stick welder , pray for your family and me .?.? And us all.

[@jackmiller1165]

While that 875e is in the shop,see if you could get some shots of that aux fuel tank and mounting. Thanks

[@oscarschneider860]

Does Phillip Garnett just owns the farm?

[@codybuchanan6868]

Awesome!! Matt needs his own channel!!

[@jimclements3190]

Matt you need to get a locolised extracter to pull that welding smoke away from you,you are ayoung guy and I would like to think one day you wiil be VERY old.

[@robertdaly9036]

Great video as usual btp. Tell Matt he definitely needs a 📻 for company. Would be better if he had someone else working in the shop with him. Looking forward to the shop videos..... 👍👍

[@JT-ee1ii]

Please install guard on you side grinder and wear safety glasses!

[@patrickmannen3637]

Hi Matt, keep up the good work. You are a needed person on the farm. You are doing great work and know what you are doing. I was raised on a farm in Montana, and we did a lot of hardening welds on tool bar shovels!

[@Gdub133]

Cool video! it’s neat to see the shop work

[@matteomenthemoleta]

Hello

[@rickyivey8596]

Why do they use v rippers instead of inline rippers?

[@nathanryan3961]

Please thank Billy and Matt for letting you video them! Enjoy getting their impressions on the operation?

[@gerryvanwoerkom7241]

wow ... we don't realise how big the unloading augers are till they put the unloading spout back on ....

[@OrthmanMfgFrance]

Very nice video with drone view and workshop

[@SebastianWarth]

Awesome Video Buddy!!

[@chrisbuckler5246]

Please keep the shop videos coming with that much horsepower I cant imagine all the stuff they tear up.

[@rodbrown6002]

I like videos like this. A more detailed look at what happens on a farm we city folks don't know about.

[@timwestendorf8303]

Also i run a welding shop Matt & when welding the same part over and over i put air pods in listen to music. I like to listen to hard rock to keep motivated lol

[@vlearmoes7012]

But what is he`s exatly doing to tho`s units ?? I see him welding...but what ??

[@eraaspr1]

'Thanks for the video. Cool to see the work put in to keep those big machines going.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Great to see background vids. Grew up on a farm out west and remember Dad doing repairs and fabrication all winter every year.

[@robertsmith4040]

Great video. Hey I enjoy working alone. I’m more productive I 🤔

[@jankotze1959]

Great see a flash from the past and what happen to all that shanks, great video

[@bradleysmith5161]

Love the interactive videos with Matt. Matt getting a little more comfortable in front of the camera. Great job Jason and Matt!

[@wlewis6762]

Hi, Matt, I would turn on the radio while your working by yourself :)

[@chriscardoza3066]

Need to weld chrome on the front of them that would help a bit with the wear you are getting from the ground..

[@octopiegamer2669]

PASS THE GOOD VIBES ON

[@theloniousm4337]

Glad to hear you are going to feature some of the work required in the off season to keep the big machines rolling all growing season - looking forward to the shop work. Also want to see how they feed and keep the crew of humans running in the field.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. As far as meal time goes Subway and Hardee’s are popular dinner options.

[@theloniousm4337]

@@bigtractorpower Thats interesting. That would be better than the sandwiches and coffee I got for diner and supper at seeding time.

[@bradolsen9981]

There is nothing wrong with this video

[@davidchapin8297]

Thanks BTP. Enjoyed these videos. Matt, I certainly know what you mean. I used to spend a lot of time during the winter hard-facing shanks and building new ones. Hang in there! It is amazing how fast they wear out when the hard-facing wears off.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.
