Chet - you can put lowvis hygaurd in your door , it’s a lighter oil then hygaurd but can be mixed and won’t harm your tractors if your using Deere oil , just spitballing here for you

[@christaylor1533]

@Larsonfarmsi sounds awesome!!!!

[@buddha6784]

In the potato wash plants we use 220 electric water pumps to pressure wash taters. As long as you have enough water to feed the pump they are capable of high pressures with the right fittings. Could be a good solution to the underbody washing idea

[@edsmetalworks8426]

I have ran a hose under the vehicle and used one of those self propelled yard sprinklers that follows the hose to rinse off the salt and some dirt on the bottom side. Not only that but the sprinkler looks like a tractor so it will fit right on the farm!

[@chakagillis]

Right where the shifter comes through is the big access plate that you can unscrew in the cab.

[@davidbrown898]

Doug is my hero

[@pdmustgtd1013]

If it's valve on left front corner of transmission its air valve for diff locks. Sometimes it's easier to take floor plate off around shifter

[@robl7253]

Team Dougo!!

[@brettmason1942]

Great video, see you at the Full Pod event.

[@jeansdavid]

Shurhold brushes are a personal favorite. Kinda expensive cause their market is boaters so there's that.

[@mikenelson5441]

We need some bloopers in each video hahaha or one video of just bloopers each month or something

[@bendahmm7393]

The look on Chet's face when the door handle broke was priceless!

[@southernpride9557]

Been there ! 😂

[@_Elijah_1979]

Broke the door handle 😆👏👍

[@Delbert127]

You know Chet a Great New Years Day video would the best of Larson Farms Head Butt Endings whose who!!! Love your content Merry Christmas , your family Mom, Dad ,Pap and everyone else just super.

[@collapsis]

get a micro fiber brush

[@scottwilliams5059]

They make jet pumps dairy farmers use them to wash down milking parlors two would probably work for undercarriage wash

[@KBOSGroundAgent]

Hurricane Chet blew the door handle off

[@rickthompson4315]

Where are the broken door handles made? Don't want to buy any 😂

[@takn4afool256]

don't you guys know how to remove that type of seal without any tools?

[@floorpizza8074]

Larson Farms: The only channel on KZbin where I hit the Thumbs Up button *before* I watch the video.

[@Sc-jf3yk]

"he'd be fired at Menards". That's funny, there goes the retirement plan

[@Devutrix]

Chet appears to have reached his full potential. Only a raging Dougo with the strength to rip the steering wheel off a combine could pull the door handle off like that

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

That one was such a good one.

[@patricktyrie4137]

I am so far behind watching your videos.... but I am binge watching now.. and it took me at least ten minutes to stop laughing after Chet broke the door handle.. OMG that was priceless..

[@stevehammond7485]

Merlin sounds like one mean ombre! I'm impressed that he still carries weight around there. That's called respect. Good on you Chet.

[@HikeForLife23]

Merlins fine, he's been in other videos

[@shaneprice9901]

That was what we would say about my grandpa when something broke on the farm. “Wait till grandpa sees that, your going to be in trouble “🤣

[@mitchlecapoy1909]

And one more thing, for the hydraulic over head door, there is a heat tape (heat trace) you can buy at home depot or lowes you could wrap around and insulate the tank plug that tape in (its 120v) and keep the fluid warm. Just use ducting tin tape to hold it onto the resevoir

[@billb2079]

That look on your face when the handle broke.....too funny

[@davee4434]

Could not stop laughing when door handle came off and into your hand. The look you gave priceless! It happens! Great videos.

[@ruthblake7624]

I love watching you guy's.yal do a lot of work and have fun also 🥰

[@georgeholler1992]

As much as I like your videos, Chet you remind me as your past president “I never done that”. Second item I am disappointed with you, is that you took credit of finding this new cleaning wax for your tractor and trucks. Which in fact it was me that informed you of this new product which just came out on the market. PS don’t like your videos I love your videos keep them coming.

[@willgaukler8979]

... reminds me ... Teamster's drive the trucks ... they don't un-load them too ...

[@dmorgan28]

It’s so much fun just listening to Dougo and Chet talk to each other. 😂 They are hilarious. Cool video. 👍❤️

[@jrneff9773]

Off cam they my fuss at each but they come down and each is good at the end

[@bradpogue3448]

Glad to see Dougo got Merlin going again. I hate those hard to get spots, that is why I let the more agile young bucks do that job. Once again Chet awesome video. Catch you on the next one

[@phil-bay-of-plenty-nz]

just hook a chain to the pallets and pull them out to the door. no issues then. and with rgards the door hydraulics surely it's easier to just use a generator to run the door motor, a newer ford has enough electrical power to make it work complete with a standard electrical socket.. 7000watts should handle the door motor easily i would never hook a tractor to it with the dirty oil in a tractor hydraulic system. could also put in solar panel and a couple batteries to run the doors.

[@deesalkelly3069]

use a pallet puller...a L shaped hook and a long chain - pull em out

[@michaeltablet8577]

Glad to see you got a handle on things! You guys are awesome! Love your videos!

[@danfinley3690]

Always so fun to Watch explaining everything y’all do never a dull moment keep the awesome videos coming

[@jasonclouse-ho2sn]

hillyard has alot of good brush

[@t.bunker2511]

Dougo's wash bay is bigger than most guys' cold storage equipment sheds.

[@curtmyers6273]

Seriously? The driver never got out to unload. I drove truck over 20 years and the only time I didn't help unload was at a warehouse that wouldn't allow the driver on the dock. I've hauled a lot of seed and chemical and I always got in my trailer to pull pallets. What was the driver's excuse I'd like to know.

[@Tmann26]

It's Christmas time and I've decided to sub, like, and such to channels I frequently watch. I dig what you do and I hope the few pennies of ad revenue I'm providing helps you and the family out. I still use an ad-blocker, but I digress... Merry Christmas!

[@donaldcote9012]

Chad , check out Chemx company out of Agawam mass. He has some awesome chemicals and brushes for semi cleaning. He has a KZbin channel also. Great guy to buy from. I have a small plumbing company and use his products on our trucks . Great stuff and video's

[@jessehiebert4138]

Put a magnetic block heater on that oil tank

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Lots of jobs to do after harvest. All of you are busy busy with jobs to fix or repair something. Always busy you are. Lots of machinery to maintain. That was a chore getting that semi unloaded of all the chemicals. Lots of weight there to deal with. Dougo is glad Martin is back. Clean those floors. When that door handle came off you looked so funny at it. Another repair job. All for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Chet. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@johnjablonski2155]

The door knob was funny. I almost soiled myself on that one I laughed so hard.

[@kenhofer8063]

Nothing funny

[@pinwizz69]

Chet, nice idea there at the end about building a small insulated room for that door pump, motor and fluid. One small problem is the oil in the rest of the lines. That oil will still be frezzing cocl and the second some hits that pump things will go downhill real fast. You'd have to add in a heat exchanger to pre heat the oil before it gets to the pump. Anyways, another really nice episode of Larson Farms on the Frozen Struggle Bus on a wonderful Minnesota snowy day. We prefer our South Florida snow on a cone covered with raspberry syrup.

[@remsman86]

Dougos reactions are priceless. My favorite was still the man lift stuck in the floor drain

[@dogcreek8547]

The door knob was priceless

[@JJP72095]

Try chem-X they have a KZbin channel also

[@mattheww8504]

Just gonna mention that especially the snake oil

[@bart3531]

You learned something valuable today, burglary of semi trucks is not your profession! 😆 Ag Chem Solutions... never use the word "cheapest", always sell using the words Least Expensive! LOL. And we caught that shot of all the boys' boots stacked and lined up neatly just as Mom taught ya to do! Great idea to embroider your own name on your leather belt, if you ever lose it while visiting the ladies of the night, they can mail it back along with everything else you dropped when the husband arrived unexpectedly.

[@alexmikhael5061]

deeseeel hot water pressure washers ;) Get 2 of them put 4 nozzels across to roooollll on over to get the SALT OFF OF THE UNDERCARREGES!!!!! DUGGOOOOO I think that is an AWESOME IDEA!!! 2 washers, 4 nozzles... :) and that 2 washers for every coup-le nozzles, MAY HAVE BEEN OLD OOOOLLLLLDDDDDDER technology ..... thinks things may have gotten better since like 1990 lol hahahaha w3lel WASHERS GOTTEN BETTER LOL ???

[@drewmacke8479]

Chet- look at ULINE model H-127. Might help with unloading trucks. That and a logging chain or yankum. I used to put a 4x4 at the back of the forks on the pallet jack as well. Those that know- know.

[@BruceBergman]

You need least expensive, not Cheap. Cheapest good stuff NOT A PLUS... 9:38

[@mikewing6549]

At Hydroswing we recommend using transmission fluid or aviation fluid in our hydraulic pumps. We also offered a 12v. back up pump for power outages. Then you don’t have to be concerned about mixing tractor fluid.

[@edsutherlin473]

Chet, look for a brush at a R V dealership. Long handle and soft bristles.

[@StrikerV3]

Tip i learned as a yard driver for the little stamped steel trailer locks (thin guys). You just grab one end of the loop, pull down so it stretches everything tight, then use your free hand to grab that tab looking bit and wiggle the heck outta it, it will give out pretty quick. Same principle as removing the pop tabs from a soda can.

[@dennispalmer6007]

I use to break them by getting your fingers inside the loop then yank really hard. They do break but if your not carful, you can slice for fingers

[@peteschram9524]

Or take it swing the top the bracket swing it to the top of the seal pull handle out clear of the bottom bracket then yank the handle down hard pops them right off use to do 50 plus a night yarding

[@StrikerV3]

@@dennispalmer6007 i tried that a few times then went to the wiggle method. Also watched my coworker slice the dickens out of his hand once, luckily we had a roll of towels in his truck so it didn’t look like a murder😂

[@jimwillenbring3966]

Driver is supposed to take seals of and document the number on the seal on the manigest if it's noy on there already and if so the load is at the correct drop off.

[@jtschwinghammer]

Taking a handle of a hammer and then sticking it in-between the loop works too

[@earlhollar1906]

Chet,, what does the baby chick say? Cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap door handle!🤔🙄😏😬 call c o l e call c o l e Cole Sonne. A little nincompoop talk to text schooling there! We'll see if autocorrect leaves it all alone but I'll probably have to go back and edit it! As I was saying, Cole bought a welder that he can stick, wire feed , and aluminum weld. I wonder if it welds pewter or as my dad used to call it "pot metal"?

[@Fulltimer]

Someone needs to publish a book of famous Dougo quotes.

[@danielhofer7386]

You want to get a hold of a Harper Brush dealer & purchase some of their wash brushes, They have been around forever & are awesome. I have used them for over 40 years.Harper also makes excellent brooms in many styles of bristles for sweeping of floors. You will not be disappointed with their products..

[@scottkrieger4701]

Time for solar for u guys check into programs cheaper long run. Dugout will be happy no more electric bills. Generate more make money . Dugout happy 😊.

[@NeisenTransport]

Good ol Super Ego Logistics.. thats what you get with a broker movin the freight. My drivers would of jumped right in and helped out. Sooner we get done the better for everyone! Need any truckin Chet give me a shout! 👍

[@kdyoder8559]

Chet seen u guys struggling with to dolly down or up the hopper trailer just giving a pointer what I use Milwaukee 1/2" drill with 1 1/2" socket works great PS put drill on low setting 👍 😀

[@capn4u]

Say reasonably priced or affordable not cheapest. It de grades value and quality. Driver needs a knapp. You guys do more every day than the Government.

[@BruceBergman]

The little wheels on the pallet jack work fine if you stop in the gap between the boards. If you hear cracking, you went too far before jacking up the pallet jack. It's Not rocket science. The destroyed pallets are on You.

[@mikejarvis7701]

May want to put down camera down to use brush.i got a good brush with a 16 foot fiberglass telescoping pole at truck stop. The big truck stop in Walcott Iowa has on line store I believe. Truck will be much better with some Elbow grease.

[@keithgoenner1124]

Get a pallet grabber (Harbor Fright) and use a chain pull with fork truck and forget pallet jack 😂😊

[@TheJimmybud]

When I go to my Menards, I just jump on the forklift myself and nobody has ever said anything!

[@TheJimmybud]

I'm surprised you guys don't wear light coveralls, instead of ruining your good sweatshirts and hoodies.

[@stevenball1621]

EGO trucking is by far the worst foreign owed corrupt company

[@joshsalmons1867]

Whoever builds pallets with more than 4 boards on the bottom should be fired for wasting wood. Pallet builders must not know what a pallet jack is.

[@MichaelHolloway]

high pressure water pump and the plumbing to handle it, some power-washer nozzles - and you can even DIY plumb it!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Awesome to see everyone working together and enjoying it!

[@shaneprice9901]

Putting that undercarriage sprayer would be awesome though.

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Future knowledge. Trucking companies do not require a truck driver to touch freight

[@davidmcgee4525]

"Boars Hair" brush is supposed to be the best, non scratch. Draw back some of the brushes loose the hairs, not crimped properly?

[@austinhayes3901]

You guys should look into an air greaser for the shop, so nice not having to change tubes all the time, they take I believe 25-30 gallon tubs of grease, looks like mini 55 gallon drums, but get a long grease gun hose so you can leave the grease drum in on spot and just drag the gun around

[@jimwillenbring3966]

Who taught who how to use a pallet jack. It's supposed to be all the way under thr pallet where it moves freely so your not breaking boards off the bottom of the pallet and cause a braking affect.

[@frankcooper6911]

Milwaukee Tools are Way ! way !! Better than Black and Decker , DeWalt !!

[@bryonensminger7462]

You could probably skip all the power washers for your under carrage wash but drilling another well and butting in the biggest wall pump you can find starting with like a 2 inch water line and keep reducing it tell its coming out of 3/16 inch holes at the wash head that would build some pressure but it would cost a fortune to get set up

[@TheJimmybud]

Hmmmm looks like you used my idea about airing up the trucks with an air compressor! Your welcome!

[@datcat6455]

Sparta 777 brush is best I have used. Can get from Nelson-Jameson

[@goofingoff6492]

Ps.loading dock indoor warehouse and fork lift hint hint....

[@garett9510]

The truck dying is just karma of not getting out of your seat to even give the boys a hand opening up the trailer. Some people - just don't get 'em

[@bruceboys9773]

Use a heat trace cable to keep the hydraulics warm!

[@IrishVapeLife]

Have you guys thought about putting wind turbines are solar panels in part of the dead area on your property that you’re not really utilizing

[@arthurbass1191]

Truck world Walcott Iowa you can order wash brush from there keep up the great work love the videos Chet

[@stillwaterbg]

Make new merch! 'God I hate JUNK!' -Big Swede

[@gingerkeith]

Seems Larson's don't know about really low temperature and metal!!

[@musikmaan]

Throw one of those stick on/plug in oil pan heaters on the bottom of the Hydraulic tank for that door… problemo solved

[@rockfosg]

You know you can get under washing thingys on wheels, that you connect to you power washer and roll back and fort under the car/truck?

[@jenniferwhite6089]

i am hearing the manufacturers are going to avoid any warning if you play with any of the sittings on and machinery or modified them in any way your need a university brain surgeon degree just to clean the window too

[@mikejarvis7701]

Man that truck you are working on air line is not clean. The film is terrible you have to brush.i every part. Sorry it is dirty.

[@jtschwinghammer]

Many times driver's aren't paid to assist in unloading. I will assist many times because it gets me in and out of a place quicker.

[@TheJohndeere466]

I always wondered why you guys didnt build a dock there then you could drive your forklift inside.

[@fonsj_]

The american pallet standard is so bad

[@ryanc8188]

All comes down to how much the product mfg wants to pay for them. The cheaper they want to be the cheaper the pallet mfg is going to make them.

[@garyevert5399]

you guys make work fun just amazing

[@vancrawford4064]

Hey man you need to wrap all the hyd. lines on that slow door with that mobile home electric wrap tape that you use to keep the pluming from freezing.

[@bigmass4937]

Hey Chet, do u think it's time for a new intro? I know alot of things have changed.

[@craigsmith8217]

The foam keeps the detergents from drying out too quickly. There is no chemistry in the dry.

[@mikebonnett7730]

we used to just take the metal seals like was on the trailer door handle and take one side and bend it back and forth real fast and within about 30 seconds it will break in half just be careful it will get hot enough too burn your fingers where it breaks similar too how you can break off a piece of wire off the spool if you don’t have a wire cutter handy

[@dogcreek8547]

Of all the farm shows you guys rule when it comes to a wash bay and putting the shine on, Nice!

[@bobbruck]

Did you let the foreigner truck driver fend for himself after he jelled up since he didn’t even come out to open his doors ? Did he even speak English ?
