Finally REVEALING my SECRET Invention! - Harvest Part 6

To build your own grain trailer stop light you'll need the following parts:
- Inferred reflective sensor or also known as a photo beam, infrared sensor, and reflector photo eye.
- LED light of some sort
- Reflective tape such as trailer marker reflective tape
- Power source such as a 12v battery
- Fabricate simple brackets
- Wire and a strong battery
Build your own and drastically reduce all that climbing in and out of the truck!

Always glad to see Coby there to provide adult supervision.

[@redpillpirate111]

I know that it is not said enough but "Thank you" for feeding America. God Bless!

[@jarrettfullerton2580]

You have to love the Welkers. Not begging you to buy stuff, not running ads...even offering advice and tips for free in this case. Good job guys--smarts and hard work put to use

[@rinardman]

Fruition. "See it come to fruition." There, my pedantic moment for today. 😁

[@larrydavidson3402]

That light idea is a brilliant idea Scott. Love it when Coby is in the combine and sees the animals.

[@mesh1248]

That light idea is genius

[@georgew.5639]

Pray for the rain that you need to grow your crops. So that you have a good harvest. 🙏

[@berniestraight126]

I’m so sorry I keep praying for a good return on all the money spent getting this crop in the ground I wish I could make it appear I think I will just keep praying. Stay safe in the fields god bless

[@tonnyplaysgames220dailygam5]

I like the Leg Arms Video!!! Hanging the Instructor.

[@youtubes1commenter180]

That invention for unloading grain was a bright idea😂💡

[@digger5858]

Good to see all you guys and Colby too. Still praying for a decent crop for you God bless all of you and have a safe harvest season

[@davidwayman3121]

You should patent that and then try to sell it and make some money off of it and put both the sensor and the light in a weather resistant housing so they will last longer.

[@jasonhastings5538]

Numb gets around pretty quick!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@danielrein1778]

Necessity is the mother of invention.

[@dougmcfee8351]

That light idea was pretty bright

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Nick I don’t blame you one bit! The input price of everything have exploded. 3 years of drought & hail is a heart breaker. I’m sad just watching! I pray every Spring for Cinderella weather for you. Tony got some good moisture this year, it’s just not making over your way. There’ll be a day when you look back & tell your kids about the great drought & how the farm survived it as a family.

[@fullers1966]

That was funny talking to Toby doesn't flicker a bit tell you said carrot😂😂😂😂😂

[@bkgaragerestorations]

Nick, I understand your frustration. It's not just money, we put our heart and soul into our crops. It's a terrible feeling watching it turn to dust when it doesn't rain. A guy just has to keep going and trust that the rain will return, and next year will be better. This was the 4th straight year of drought here, but I was lucky and had some decent rains early on before the tap shut off in June. Even though the crop wasn't the greatest, when I look back through the record book I carry in my combine I see the improvement over the last couple years. It gives me hope and excitement for what next year will bring. Keep up the good work and best of luck next year.

[@Spaude123]

Man if only you guys could have irrigators. life would be so much different! 👍😎

[@joshwagner5414]

Crystal beet pilers have had those lights on their pilers for a long time. Work great

[@thebulldogchefs203]

Your design, fabrication, and repairs skills are amazing. Love seeing it in your videos.

[@b.p.650]

Scott you have a 2 million dollar brain and a million dollar pair of hands, you wise beyond your years

[@mikejarvis7701]

I would make and sale the lights. That would be helping farmers everywhere around the world.

[@XMan-ub8zf]

said it before on here....Scott you are amazing, well done brother

[@jeffreyhaugen5387]

Good for you. Reminds me of what Jack made for his mom Sandi and the gravity wagons.

[@dmk1529]

Or a car wash😂

[@susanstaples-4761]

Scott your a genius 👏 🙌 👌

[@SoWhatIfI...]

Nick I suspect you are experiencing a little bit of burnout. You just loose your pop to get up and go. I totally understand the feeling. It's like having to pack extra weight all day. Take care of yourself, have a safe harvest.

[@WelkerFarms]

It's true, what has really helped is the excite of our home finally being built. Just have to press on and trust that the good Lord will bring rain next year.

[@rongrose3746]

Sure LIKE the invention! You all stay safe !

[@garoldpeterson3433]

Could use the light to mark trailer bows when loading trucks.also could use cordless tool battery pack.

[@mikebarbacovi9851]

Keep the faith. Your family works very hard and better weather will return.

[@salmonhunter7414]

I know it is hard, but I use to always remember I have a loving family. And yours seems to me to be very loving and supportive.

[@clinthochrein888]

Bob I hear ya! I don’t want any tires stoned either 😁 neat invention, but….. no to be a wiseacre would it be easier to have Nick standby with a stop sign 🛑 an he can raise it when the trailer is on the auger? 😁

[@robertdavis6708]

Leg Arms I like your invention. If I could helps you out a little, change the red light to blue. That color jumps out to the human eye. Really does. Stay safe and full bins.

[@jamesdt1980]

Others might have tried to patent or market that idea, but it's a great show of character/ integrity on your part, Scott. That's the type of selfless attitude we might all one day understand, and benefit from!

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

18:29 Brother Nick please know you are inspirational and a wonderful Man and Blessing. Hold your head up high and feel sure you are doing Wonderful especially with the situation with Crops and Scott’s Home getting done first and everything adding up. You don’t know how much you have helped lots of us in more than just Farming or enjoyable videos you show us how to keep rolling and deal with challenges as they develop competent and quality work throughout! God Bless you Brother Nick I love you and so does everyone else! Keep er moovin Bud ❤️😏🖖🏼🇺🇸

[@charlesswann146]

Love the Dogs excitement at the end..

[@rwisti11301962]

That light is fantastic... I wonder if I could rig up a smaller version for getting in the garage.... hmmmm

[@norcalray7182]

It would be sweet if you guys fixed up the red semi truck.

[@williebeale3265]

Man I feel for y’all is it even worth harvesting at 5 bushels per acre! We praying for y’all out here in va

[@MrGazz999]

Keep your chin up Nick cause good things are around the corner.

[@deltonwatts9726]

That's a great invention with a variety of uses. Thanks for sharing the harvest days! God Bless

[@WOLFSOFBREAD]

Legarms that’s a pretty amazing idea you have definitely makes it easier for the driver👍👍

[@TwoToneTuna]

You are right. Life should be good or nice. Not hard.... the ups should be worth the downs. I'm glad that you talk about it. We are here for you and it's right you talk about it.

[@jandyg]

I commercial fished for about 20 years. Had to sell the boat and gear, as the struggle just became no worth it. That was 15 years ago, there’s not I day that I don’t regret having given up. But then I realized that those 20 years gave my wife and I the ability to raise 2 beautiful children. Keep your chin up and your head down Nick.

[@hawks2252]

Nick is rocking the 80's with the sunglasses. What is that the Huey Lewis model - haha. You guys rock. Have a good harvest season.

[@terenceblanchette9059]

I know what you are saying about not sleeping at night Scott. I am the same way, farmer engineering something that seems to be a good idea. Some of us wrench turners get a kick out of doing that.

[@BattlestarCanada]

Photo beam is the real ticket here! Great idea!

[@stanc7845]

Great idea! Add a solar panel and a battery and lose all the wire. Make the battery easy to access. Like the way a battery mounts on a drill. Then on cloudy days or at night, you can charge a second battery in the truck.

[@NVMDSTEvil]

I just use a baby monitor camera with usb power brick and magnet. $100 to set up, can use for any pit at elevators or feedlots or farm yards. Combine with electric hopper openers almost never leave truck lol

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

A scale would be nice to inventory your wheat harvest........just takes money and time. (we all have a lot of that don't we)

[@Zogg1281]

That trailer dump sensor is a brilliant idea, Scott! If you put together a box with all the parts and a guide to put it together, I recon you would sell enough of them to be financially viable. If I was a farmer, I'd definitely be interested in that kit!! 😊👍👍👍👍

[@johngreydanus2033]

Camera would work also

[@harleythrelkeld7587]

@@johngreydanus2033 that little sensor is a lot cheaper than running camera cable id guess

U need to patent that light for unloading grain that's a great idea n most farmers would luv this I know I do but more than farmers buy co-ops for sure would

[@mikebougher3731]

I'm really glad you had the sound effects in your demonstration. Otherwise there is no way I would know how it works. 🤣👍

[@dennislamers986]

Way to keep an eye on things Scott.

[@backfill9183]

Use the same idea with the light to wake me up during snow storms. So I could start plowing lasted for years.

[@mammutMK2]

13:20 here you pointed one important topic out, that is spreading out through a lot of the equipment that we use today. It's not designed to last, it's designed to break. It's designed to beeing not repairable, it's designed to get bought new. I get the point, that the company that builds their stuff to good won't last too long...but that development, that you end up buying trash, as you can already be happy when it survives the unpacking, it's not how it should be...and hopefully those companies won't last long either, but at the cost of ripping of their cst, that have wasted their money on a non working product

[@chrislongbeard]

Can't blame you, Nick. Hoping you have enough ground moisture to give a bit of winter wheat a go.

[@nascar2010j24]

Legarms! THE LIGHT IDEA IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! You could sell this idea or better yet start your own production but thank you for sharing it with us for free.

Have a safe harvest. God Bless 😊

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video Welkers. Scott, I like your invention to know where to stop the truck to unload crops. Neat idea Scott. You did good on that idea. Saves a lot of steps. My compliments to you on this invention of yours. Sorry the spring wheat is not better. You are getting some so that is better than nothing. If only you would have had more rains. Feel bad for you all. Hang in there. Always sending prayers your way for rain and moisture for your crops. You have had some tough years for sure. Next year has to be your year for great crop production. Prayers coming your way always!!!!!!!!! Nick you have a lot going on with the house and everything. Take it a day at a time. Hang in there my friend. God watch over you. Thanks for everything Welkers. God be with you all. Thanks much. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

Great invention Scott! Im going to make one of those

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

My labs have been on a diet since May(Vet’s order😂) so I planted about 30 green bean plants bc they get them on their supper every night. Calorie free & they LOVE them. Every time I come in with my harvest basket, they beg like crazy for a treat. They love carrots, cherry tomatoes, green beans(obviously, they gonna miss fresh picked ones)& apples. They’ve lost a lot of weight though.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Good to hear Chrissy. You proved weight loss with your lab...itory....😊

[@guzzimon61]

​@@RobertWelkerFarmerBobthat's a good one Bob !

[@mmurphy2317]

Colby wanted out so he could put the "lope" into those antelope! Nick... we can sense your frustration with things ambeling along, when you are normally going bin busters to get the crops in...but never forget, He has a plan for all...and it just may be that you need the extra time He gives you this year, to reflect on your new house build...and what exactly that means for you, your family, and His creation...and how it all fits together! Best of luck! Great "invention" Scott...and Bob all I can say is.."What's up🥕🥕Doc?" Thank Ya'll for farmin', fixin' and feedin' 🇺🇸 under His Big Sky!
