Chet's mannerisms and voice inflections mimic Dougo exactly. Like father, like son!! 🤣

[@jdiggindirt]

Chet we used to do the same thing but we would take a piece of metal post and making adapter to connect our hose then take a hammer and beat the end of the metal pipe more flat it builds pressure and gives you a lot more pressure. It will really surprise you how much more pressure.

[@seansmith9614]

Thanks

[@radoliz2]

Chet your face has cleared up nicely! I was getting worried you were getting chin and neck rot. LOL

[@vansage2691]

You need a 1500 gallon+ cistern and multistage booster pump and build a wash down system. As you have found the gpm cleans faster than pressure and those trash pumps are not designed for back pressure or have a bypass for when off trigger!

[@larrydechant2076]

We always used a firehose to clean mud out of dozer tracks.

Hang in there guys. Mud sucks, but the end is getting closer.

[@scruffy6151]

Use a smaller spray nozzle you will increase water pressure and use less water even a 1" nozzle will help alot. I have moved many thousands of ton of material using water

[@johnpratt9429]

Ya gotta love those hoses😏. Worse in cold weather

[@heresteven]

build a wash rack. Make life easier. A trailer with a tank and high flow pressure washer will help cut that mud off. There's a business that sells the kit to link two pressure washers together for double the flow. 8 to 10 gpm is what I have used to cut ash rock and coal from the dozers, loaders, and dump trucks at the power plant. A rotary nozzle will also save time.

[@brentevje5939]

Try to think about the Cash price of corn and beens maybe that would help?

Try a 1" hose in the 2" pump. That will give you a lot more pressure.

[@lutherhitt7430]

I Didn't know that you folks owned "Capitol Construction". Big Outfit!

[@louispaparella5766]

I've heard that spray Teflon or some other slickery stuff used prior to going mudding might help

[@MrTodd51]

Friction loss in the hose is causing less pressure at the nozzle. You can't stop the friction loss in the hose so keep the hose length as short as possible. As suggested by others, fabricating some sort of straight tip or pipe on the end with a smaller orifice will in crease the pressure but reduce the amount of volume but definitely worth a try. That present nozzle is just not giving you the type of stream you need.

[@jasonike13]

Make a bucket with some holes and a weir for the suction hose. That way it’s pulling water from the top and not sucking off the bottom.

[@greatone9887]

Should run the three inch pump with the two inch hose. Boost up your pressure

[@wink9970]

Watching from my couch. It's dry. It's warm. Whatcha talkin bout?

[@HuntsChris]

Buy an old fire truck for the farm, that would be awesome. It’s still quicker than picking and washing I think, especially if you are not cleaning up the yard after.

[@peterbenson3776]

I was commiserating when he was trying to put that fitting in the 2” Hose. That stuff is hard

[@johnperry5102]

go from 3 inch to 1 inch fir more pressure

[@daviddesimone342]

Hi Chet , not sure if I spoke about this before , Check into the POWER LINE industries Power washing trailers , USA built , different sizes / colors , I paid 16K delivered for mine in PA and use it for my rental property business etc , plus if you need more than 335 gal you can put tractor supply 325/425 gal truck bed insert tank in and use submersible pump to get extra water out on road , with small generator type , nice inexpensive option , two reels , cold and diesel hot water , honda engines or others , did i mention different colors MR GEKO LOL .enjoy watching , give BS a hard time just a bit

[@jamesmacdonald8375]

What if you had a 6” pump coupled to pto

Swedge down from 2" to 1" near the nozzle and you'll get the extra pressure that you need.

However the 2 inch noozle and gpm of a 3" pump would be pretty sweet!

[@jamesranger6283]

@@peterhaan9068 Trash pump regardless of volume only produces 50 psi max. They are designed to move water from one location to another at low pressure. A trash pump rated at 350 gpm will only move water 350 gpm at 50 psi.

[@billc3271]

Wow that old hog barn turned out great

[@toyfarmer70]

Take a 1" pipe and put it at the end of the 2" hose. Take a hammer and flatten down the pipe end. That will get you more pressure.

[@jamesranger6283]

Pressure is Pressure if the pump only makes 50 psi swedging it down at the end will only reduce the volume. You need volume to hammer at the mud but you need minimum 80 to 150psi. That is where the fire pump differs from a trash pump.

I don't know if you've tried this or not, but when we would get back from muddin with the trucks, we would set up oscillating lawn sprinklers under them to saturate the mud and then it hoses off a lot easier

[@ronaldheit196]

First off, watching Dougo diggin' dirt talking to himself since he became a chatter box is never boring. Secondly, the corner pig barn sure came out awesome and handy it seems. Blasting water to clean out frozen muck level mud in below freezing weather is pretty much worse than pulling ones teeth using a string and a door 3 Stooges style. Thank God I live in Miami after growing up in Michigan. Never again having to shovel snow outta my driveway twice after the snowplow has gone by and negated my first shoveling while freezing my tookie tookie off getting me all sweaty in my 4 layers of clothes and having to take another shower before I can go to work.

[@Slide8918]

Dougo is a legend lol when Canada had the wildfires Dougo was cracking me up. I agree that pig barn conversion they did came out great

[@Jaydon_Burrow]

Look into a product called mud off, we spray it on our dirt race cars so the mud wont stick and will help it slide off the surface you sprayed it on when washing.

[@imkwuzn]

I’m never gonna complain about washing my car again! Once when I was 16, I took my Dad’s Land Cruiser mud bogging and when I pulled it between two trees on an embankment to hose off the mud, it slid sideways right into one of the trees when I tried to back it out and dented the drivers door. This reminded me of that fateful day! Great video as always, Chet!

[@hughjass4995]

First time ever ive been in first ten to view a video here

[@ledegraw]

Chet you are a hard charger,get done what needs to be done. Kudos! You definitely need a little more pressure for this job. But on a side note watch out that you do not start washing out all the bearings. To much pressire can take out even sealed for life bearings. The 3 inch pump might be the ticket to cut down the time it takes to complete the job. Time saved is money saved

[@terryrowland6656]

You guys have a Happy Thanksgiving

[@fuhrstpuhl3278]

Find a lake or pond, back the ripper in until its submerged, let it soak for a week then wash it off with the high pressure hose (LOL just kidding).......then grease it up good and replace all the wheel bearings.....just a thought. With what they have been through all the wheel bearings probably need to be replaced anyway.

Good job boys!! I run a Cat 336 and do storm water pond dredging so I do know the struggle cleaning out tracks afterwards. Keep up the content, it’s nice to know sometimes that you’re not alone in the struggle against the mud.

[@lylestavast7652]

need a submerged rack of something like railroad ties that you can drive back and forth through a foot or so of water before / while you're spraying it off - recycle the water from it endlessly with some coarse filtering media... you could put some hoses on tripods on either side. rack would let the soil / cruft settle, then lift rack out it to bobcat it clean...

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Boy watching these muddy videos of yours makes me glad we don't deal with that much mud in Tennessee.

[@ActiveJoe]

Another great Larson Farms video, you guys all really have a great working relationship. Good to see you guys working to take care of your equipment so well too. As someone who worked on a wash / clean up crew - it may be worth knowing that if you hose everything down first and then come back to it, the dirt tends to come off easier as soaking it will loosen most dirt up for you. 🚜👍🇺🇸

[@karriefalon7779]

chuckles, you will become a good cat skinner with your tracks, the ends of every day running a catapillar you grab your track shovel and get them tracks cleaned. nothing worse than the dreaded roller goin out on ya cause you were to lazy to clean your tracks after a fun muddy day. I never opperated a cat very much but learned from hauling them from skinners that was a have to do issue. yes i did help many clean their tracks. most i ever opperated a catapillar i wanted to learn and spent 3 wageless days in the artic plowing snow for rig moves we done. it was fun and i learned alot about tracks.

Def need more pressure, when I use a 2” fire hose it is triple that pressure you have. Not sure if you can get that amount of pressure out of your pump but I promise you it will make it much easier and faster than picking by hand. Also I see u have the red plastic end and I have a brass end on mine. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but I got mine on Amazon

Put a rotating nozzle on a pressure washer with about 4000 psi. or more. Corn stocks won't even matter. Just like the use on a Hydro-Vac locating underground utilities. Just don't hit the decals. I've washed off many track hoe tracks that way, you will not be disappointed.

[@danfrost5986]

Also pre-soaking 20 min or so before. UTSA do that with Everglades muck on the buggies.

[@chadcolby1320]

I’m sure something like this has been suggested, but I’ll say it anyway. Comments help the algorithm, right? Have you ever seen hydro excavation work? They use 8 to 10 gpm pressure washer pumps with heavy duty wands and “turbo tips” “wizzed tips” whatever you want to call them. I’ve used this in hard Indiana clay, blue clay and it works. This wouldn’t be cheap to build, but considering how often you have to do it, you might look into it. We built our set up onto an existing vac street sweeper we now use to hydro excavate. Bought “general pump” 8 gpm , installed mag clutch to lock it in from the engine that runs the vac and installed pulleys and plumbing. Never cleaned tracks on a quad, but I’ve been where you were wet, cold and tired. In my case, it’s water main breaks you have to fix live, usually 20 degrees or less out when it happens. God Bless, you all are a great and I thoroughly enjoy watching.

[@joesanders652]

Not trying to tell you how to run your operation , tie a old spray jug on end on suction to keep off bottom and maybe try a smooth bore end for more pressure.

[@christopherward1601]

100ft of 1 1/2 firehouse would work a lot better. Increase pressure if possible! Telling you this from experience.

[@scottrosevold3645]

I think the wide stance rowtracs, are way better. but don't offer them in big hp. the further away from the frame, less hangup. Our quads have 30" tracks, looks better then the 36". Not fun playing in mud... that's way better idea, then leaving all that mud in the farm yard.

[@fergywurst]

I know that the mud is miserable. However, you have money in the grain bins. Without the tracks, you probably would't be done with harvest. With tires, you would have most likely worn out the Yankum ropes. 😎
