Douglas had knee surgery today. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

[@terenceblanchette9059]

I had my left knee repair surgery last April. Torn maniscus and a little more. A couple of weeks and I was back at it. Dougo, don't overdo it right away though.

[@greggardner2823]

Godspeed!

[@tyler3148]

Same hope he gets better soon good thing he has Martin 2.0 to ride around on

[@patrickwallace5567]

Well wishes to Dougo, may you have a speedy and successful recovery

[@richardhessert7862]

Had mine done and a whole lot worse now. Praying yours goes better.

[@rdyardie]

My wife is a retired Physical Therapist. She now needs knee surgery. Knees are not to be taken for-granted. You can quote me. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. We will be praying for Dougo's progress. Surgery is much nicer today than years ago. Dougo needs to "take it easy" for awhile. 😊

[@melvinalbert6172]

I have had both my knees replaced and thay are not as bad to come back from as schoulder surgery

[@krusejonathan01]

Look at Chet showing that self reliance… I mean he had Brody there for emotional support. 😂

[@lylestavast7652]

Best wishes with your knee situation. I can't figure out which is worse - reduced mobility or nagging pain... so good luck on both fronts Doug-O. And prayers for Amy taking care of you.

[@ronschmitt2495]

Chet you should keep the air tank and hook the new air compressor into it to have a bigger air capacity

[@agentcrm]

It is a great idea if the tank is still in good condition.

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Should get a scroll type compressor too, lot less noise , lots more air.

[@carl_h]

I was just going to type the same message.

[@michailbest1122]

^^^^ not a bad idea. Just put the tank outside where nobody walks, then if it rusts away and let's go I'll just scare the crap out of u and not kill u :)

[@kevinhovis4]

An auto drain is a good idea. To help keep tanks dry.

[@redrose41000]

Dougo - I am sure your reading these comments during your recovery time. Here’s hoping your recovery is speedy and you heal quickly!

[@markbowling3475]

Dougo , you get well soon and have a good recovery, we are going to miss you but you will have a new knee , you takecare now !

[@ecmnfarm2265]

It's like dragging a old 125lb cast iron 7.5hp motor up a 60ft silo chute but I didn't have help.The motors never went bad when they were at the bottom of the silo.

[@scottmaass4329]

GOOD WORK ON GEAR BOX BOYS!!!! SPEEDY recovery DOUGO!!!!!!

[@flip66]

Prayers DOUDO AND AMY, GOD BLESS YOU GUYS ❤❤️❤️YOU

[@rodneymoore2154]

Had both knees done it was worth it they been great for six years now good luck praying for fast recovery

[@ryanbachman9227]

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery Dougo.

[@lchebuhar9212]

Keeping Doug in our thoughts and prayers! 💪👍🏼

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

Good job you guys . Stay healthy.

[@bradalyea9070]

If you have room, leave your old compressor tank hooked up to your air system when you get a new compressor. It gives a lot more stored air for tires and running big air guns!

[@bertrutledge4546]

Praying for a speedy recovery Dougo. Amy will take good care of you.

[@craigtjen9130]

I was thinking with a heavy lift like that just attach a pulley next time which will make it much easier Great videos all the time Chet. The whole crew is great to watch!

[@RagsdaleCreek]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 1¹😊

[@salty777.7]

Just a thought...would a heavy duty back pack strapped to someone with the agility to climb the latter be easier to cary that 100# up the latter?

[@kaisabens4856]

Awesome at all you guys can handle. In this day and age you have to be able to repair as much as you can. Hats off.

[@deblarsen8528]

Chet.... Another great video! Doug.... I hope your knee surgery was a success.... take it easy, do your PT and then you will be back to work... unless you want to "Take it easy" for a week or 2 or 3! Brody.... you and Chet sure work good together! Big Swede..... "Keep on Truckin!" You ALL have a great sense of humor! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! Watch out for ice when you are walking out in the yard! 😳

[@garygruneich1275]

Hope Dougo heal well God bless you and your family

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great video Chet Dougo Eric Broodie could not be better thank you for sharing and your time can't wait for next video.

[@danfinley3690]

Always a fun time with the videos thanks for what you all do for us bless y’all

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. If I understand correctly today was when Dougo was having his knee surgery. Thinking of you Dougo. Get well soon. We miss you. I trust your surgery went well and starting to heal. Take care of yourself. Nice job Chet and Brody getting that 200lb drive back up on top of the bin. Heavy lifting job. You got it done. Nice job. Another truck broken down. Always something. Get her fixed I guess. You all take care and be safe. Like the air ride system on the chevy truck. Thanks The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

DOUGO......get well soon bud. Thanks for taking us along on your days Chet

[@dmorgan28]

Here’s wishing Dougo a speedy recovery. Hey Chet, you and Brody had me nervous lifting that heavy motor up that silo. Sure glad you got that fixed. Lots of truckin. Cool video. Praying for Dougo. 👍❤️🙏

[@michaelhobby4872]

Great Video! I like the black-and-white flashback, some of the best video and sound quality on KZbin!

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Hey Chet Did a quick day-trip today---cities to Milbank & back happened to see the silver Pete turning onto Hwy 12 very sharp tractor trailer!!

[@nicfrieler1305]

Dougo hope surgery went well. Your going to be missed at the Farm, and You Tube. Sure that Amy will take good care of You. Get well soon. Another great video.

[@mattshell7753]

Chet your dad uncle and grandpa should be so proud of you for your age I've been watching you for 2 years and I'm so impressed how much you know mechanically and agriculturely and care about fellow workers and your company. Thanks for the great videos.

[@chrisgossman6512]

Godspeed for Dougo's recovery. I just can't get enough of this channel. It's just a spectacular blend of content. I've been following for years. I'm looking for a video alert all of the time. Thanks for sharing as much as you do. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@lstone.09]

Chet, it's totally amazing as to the amount knowledge you have not only mechanically, but the knowledge and skills you have on farming and knowing the business side of it all as well. Someone should be putting your name out there for the Nobel Peace Prize. I've known guys twice your age that farmed all their lives that didn't know a 1/4 of what you do. Any time that DougO, Randy or even your Grandfather leaves the farm they know for a fact that they can trust you with running things and doing it in a way they'd be proud of. DougO, hope you have a speedy recovery. Don't push your limits on the recovery side of things.

[@robertmarino2158]

Dougo, best wishes for a speedy recovery , stay safe !

[@homey3051]

These episodes are just great!

[@scottmaass4329]

LOVE THE 1086.

[@bradpogue3448]

Wishing Dougo a speedy recovery thanks Chet for the video very interesting. Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@jimmoles6250]

Glad to see the 1086 is still faithfully serving at the Larsen farm. I delivered lots of those when they were new, and they were, (and still are) just a workhorse. Interesting video, as always. Thanks, Larsen Farms.

[@LarsonFarm]

Write me ❤️⬆️

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great stuff Chet👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@burtzorn4059]

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Dougo. You will be glad you got it done. Take care and do what they tell you. Spring is coming !!!

[@SemperFido9915]

I had a torn meniscus back in 2007, Dougo. Once they fixed it, my knee felt 20 years old again. Good luck!

[@hawks2252]

Same thing man. I had to ratchet my knee straight every morning, and once in while during the day - finally couldn't take it any longer. Surgeon took a small pizza slice out of it and been like new for 12 years or so. Nice when things work, especially your body - haha. Surgeon asked me after if I remembered waking up during the operation and taking a swing at him before I went back out. Nope - I seriously didn't. He laughed and said - every once in a while it happens. Back to normal a month or so Dougo - Do the rehab stuff as directed - the rubber band pull stuff and other weight lifting technique stuff they have you do - it is important. Be back to normal in a month of so.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Same here. Mine lasted 22 years after surgery. Now I have a new knee. :)

[@DoingitWrong]

I believe this is the best Farmtube channel on KZbin, and I watch several. Well done production and interesting content. Now, about hefting up those heavy things to the top of the bins, two words: block and tackle. Use the power of pulleys to reduce the work so you only have a short heavy lift.

[@deaddoll1361]

Pulley systems have been known for thousands of years, except for pockets around Minnesota apparently.

[@DoingitWrong]

@@deaddoll1361 🤣😂🤣

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@brucerleech]

Thank you very much I really enjoy your videos I watch every one of them

[@pattipowell7788]

Well wishes to Mr. Dougo‼️ Great job to Chet on holding the fort down! Brody is THE MAN on keeping everything clean & tight! Blessings to EVERYONE @ Larson’s Family Farm!

[@waterskiingfool]

Hope you heal up fast Dougo. Listen to Amy and your doctor's

[@stevekissel605]

We work on wind machines. U need a pulley to get parts on top of the grain silos. Great video 👍 👍

[@johnrodgers7633]

Prayers for a speedy recovery to Doug on his knee surgery. Prayers of safety for all your families

[@elizabethliska5377]

We had a 79 1486 from new. Only had under 2000 hours on it when my father retired 20 years later. Was a great tractor no problems at all.

[@steveneal2706]

awesome video Chet and Brody. I sure hope its good news about Dougs knee

[@momk5273]

I saw you drive-by Casey’s in Ortonville Minnesota on Thursday, March 16, 2023

[@Vitaliy7m]

We need to get these guys a pulley!

[@hawks2252]

Dougo - had to ratchet my knee straight every morning as well as slight pain frequently. Finally had enough - needed a meniscus slice taken out about 12 years ago and worked out great. I like it when things work - especially your body. Do the rehab stuff as directed - the rubber band pull stuff and other weight lifting technique stuff they have you do - it is important. Be back to normal in a month or so. Playing hockey through minor league pro hockey didn't hurt me - crashing a mini bike at the cabin did.

[@paxbonum4683]

I love how Doug had to go to the doctor right when that 100# monster had to be put back up at the top. The wisdom of years. 😅

[@robertkinstle9413]

All best for a speedy recovery for Doug. When will you post about Jean Marie?

[@pjrregel7248]

Hope you the best. I had hip replacement. These are the golden years. 😳

[@pdmustgtd1013]

Get rotary air compressor with drier work great, builds air fast and very quiet. For 25 yrs hearing old piston style compressors very noisy. With new shop has 2 rotary compressors with a/c cooled drier very quiet operation. Reason for 2 of them because of shop having DPF cleaner. Rotary compressor somewhat like supercharger on your truck. Only problem they're on pricey side.

[@buzzmdano4904]

God speed with the healing take care.

[@rgw3629]

1086 great tractor👍🏻😎

[@jimpolk]

Everything breaks Chet. Glad you got that thing up high safely.

[@terenceblanchette9059]

As far as the air compressor goes, you need at least an 80 gallon tank and a larger 2 stage compressor. 2 or 3 cylinders preferable. That way you will have more cfm and about 150 to 175 lbs of line pressure.

[@xSCHEF]

This man knows his stuff! Ayooo listen my guy my business is air and you’re 100% right on this!!! I’d even go as far as a 125 tank, 3 cil most def 2 stage!

[@austinmoe433]

We had a 986 from ‘01 to ‘12… put 5000 hours on in that time. Hands down one do my favorite tractors! Sips fuel and it started every day in the winter to feed cows! No lack of power either. I’ll own another 86 series one do these days

[@wayner806]

I grew up in a early 80s 1086 and it’s still at dad’s. It was a good tractor too!

[@DonaldRicci]

🚜 great job in the cold🚜

[@Bigstrapper]

Hoping for a speedy recovery dougo.

[@ronknight3826]

Some good editing! Props!

[@M8Stealth]

Bought the same air compressor in 1995. Hasn't been run near as many as hours as yours and still works well.

[@thomasanderson1783]

Best wishes dougo!!!

[@daveyb2552]

Chet, tell ur da I'm thinking of him. Your channel is the bomb. Be Well.

[@larrysimoens2144]

GO TO LOWE'S. THEY HAVE A NEW AIR COMPRESSOR THATS VERY QUIET. YOU CAN TALK ON THE PHONE NEXT TO IT. GET THE BIGGEST TANK. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

[@steves9915]

Glad you got that gearbox up there safely and everything working. Next time drive the truck up on a 2x4 or 2x6 to get the axel up a little bit. Hope Dougo got a good prognosis for his corn meniscus, leave it to him to catch something like that... It may be time to replace that stool with a recliner!

[@emerson2you]

Chet keep the air compressor plum the new compressor into that one and if you need more air buy just another Big Tank and the compressor doesn’t run all the time ❤❤❤❤❤ love the videos make them longer keep us here

[@pinwizz69]

Ok so, I watch another farm channel that's a cattle farmer in South Dakota and one of their commentors claimed dir farmers don't work as hard now during calving season. I grew up in a small Michigan farm town all dirt farmers and I can tell you thry work just as hard year round. Both types of farms. Especially these days as complicated tractor upkeep has become because of all the computer and sensors systems in them. Plus so many other modern systems that requires near constant maintenance. It's definitely entertaining watching the Larson Farms crew working to keep their farm producing crops.

[@LarsonFarm]

Write me 👆👆

[@CaryGuyer]

Take care of your knees Dougo, after many years of parachute jumps in the 82nd Airborne, trust me when I say knee pain and problems are not fun. Side note here, looks like Chet is doing an awesome job at keeping the ball rolling.

[@SixFiveSam]

Using our 1086 to plant beans this year lol. Classic.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Been there with knee surgery it is painful after surgery.wish you speedy recovery.

[@charlessnyder7401]

Good luck on surgery Douggo!

[@willgallatin2802]

Chet, I get wanting the higher pressure compressor. Though there are some major drawbacks. Most important, can the rest of the air system in the shop handle the higher pressure? Also that compressor you have can be rebuilt fairly easily. Reed valves are cheap as can be and not hard to install.

[@paulpeterson4649]

Flat bed sounds nice straight piped!

[@susanstaples-4761]

Good luck dougo

[@cthompson658]

Hey Chet, you should look at a Warn drill winch, I use one at work. so nice in stead of pulling thing up with a rope

[@greglayton8020]

3 to 1 pulley system. Easy like Sunday morning.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Get better soon Doug

[@cw93711]

It's 40 here in Knoxville Tennessee. You have good in Minnesota. But I miss Wis weather

[@Big-John]

That Kodiak looks like a nice rig ! Hopefully you have all the bugs worked out? I'm a Ford guy and would like to have a F-650 set up like that! I have a hydraulic dovetail to and I love it! Keep up the great work 👍

[@markbowling3475]

Check out a screw compressor Chet , very efficient.

[@randyhart4534]

Dodge Brothers gearbox looks like. Yea those are chunks. We use them to power extruders at work. You guys had a heavy lift !

[@Showboat_Six]

Sounds like a head gasket or the fill tube is cracked. A $30.00 fix and it is easy to do.

[@loganbray7553]

Hi I like all the videos and you are so cool

[@markdallmann7887]

When you buy your new air compressor. Be sure to keep your old tank conected to increase the volume of available air before the compressor needs to run. We did that when our old compressor went bad and with the two 80 Gallon tanks the compressor runs alot less.

[@Sy-Con]

That title I know all to well! 😂

[@Fulltimer]

Get well Doug!

[@robertquast9684]

Cast aire air compressor made In Minnesota. An 80 or 120 gallon tank 25 or so cfm. The bigger compressors run at lower speeds so they are quiet and last longer

[@feldtc07]

I’d recommend a screw compressor. They’re very quiet and fill very fast so tank size isn’t as important. More than impressed with the one at work with an air dryer on it

[@xSCHEF]

Wear plugs and ditch the screwcomp! We ditched it for a 125 2 stage and we’ll never go back!

[@bart3531]

Perfect corn hauling with excellent grades too! Yes, everything s under control! Will the big 1086 start? Yep, just send it, send it now and get the damage over with! And Magna Force air compressor- to the junk grave yard, now! Yep, we love washing trucks... said no one, except Brody!
