Using a Sprayer to Change a Pivot Tire

Unconventional, but totally worked. Fasted tire change we have ever done! I love these super productive days...but at the same time, is irrigating season over yet??

Y'all........PLEASE install a guard over that drive shaft on the engine/pump!!

[@hermanmunster5831]

Brains and beauty! I saw people that got wrapped up in a pto shaft IT ISNT PRETTY! Uns should put gaurds on those pivot shafts 👍👍🙏🙏

[@paulnieuwkamp8067]

Yes. Closed ones. I've seen a few (or perhaps the same one multiple times) that has a grid around it. It will help prevent getting you limbs in accidental contacts with the shaft (though the holes were pretty big), but not hair, and it also doesn't stop the grease from splattering on you.

[@cargotoolshop5319]

Smart and good looking, that two things we have in common, love you guys, trying to get my wife to get her CDLs, she acts all lady like but wants to hang with the boys

[@jesuscarrasco5843]

Your humor and determination is always refreshing...

[@tylerpaps4137]

You have the most beautiful smile that I've ever seen. I'm certain that I speak for everyone when I say that you brighten everybody's day with your smile.. Have a great week. Spencer

[@hermanmunster5831]

The monster Rachel Levine wouldnt think so lmao!

[@jamesmisek344]

Now that is ingenuity… you father/daughter make a great team Laura. I also love how you keep your Family number one in your life. I love being an original Nebraska boy at heart & always knew you Nebraska girls are the greatest in the USA.

[@davidmartineau8152]

They're neat! And you all are hardworking and I'm greatful you harvest and do all that you do. Without you America starves! Thanks again !!

[@johndavidson6867]

Goood Mooorning, it's the Laura show. I won't use a high lift(jack-all) if I can avoid it, I would hazard a guess that lifting with the sprayer was far safer, and probably much faster, anyway it worked and no one was hurt. I just love the enthusiasm that Laura brings to any tasks that she does on the farm. It always makes my day much better. Hoping your harvest goes well.

[@stomp4423]

Love all your content Laura and watch every vblog. We care alot about you and family. Not to be that guy... but please have your dad or Grant put a guard on those pto shafts asap. My best friend in high school lost his lower leg and arm. Keep the vids coming!

[@wareagle9655]

Careful around those shafts when they haven't seen you in while lol

[@MrMadaket78]

Laura is so right about high lift jacks. I see them mounted all shiny on hoods of Jeeps, obviously never been used. If you are not careful, the jack can easily cause to to cry Mommy!

[@brianjansen3513]

A job like that really requires two people. One needs a spotter to make sure the other is successful and safe. I have become very interested in your videos and look forward to them a lot. I also really like your "Good Morning".

[@JimWhitaker]

Great day's work. I agree with all of you about Hi-Lift jacks. Really difficult to use safely.

[@Walkndude69]

Even if it's not on the list, I write it down to cross it off. LOL You are too funny Laura!

[@corydriver7634]

Seems legit.

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

I’m so inspired with comments! 🤣 I am soooooooo happy to see you tighten the lugs correctly! I don’t care want kind of wheel it is! Do it opposite every time like Laura did! It’s not a matter of if you have to because of what kind of wheel it is. You have to with every radius with multiple bolts. Every time please it’s not harder. It’s just that one wheel (steal wheels ) can be tightened any way you want and not walk the gap and one can’t (aluminum needs to be tightened opposite or across from each other) but both types can be tightened opposite no matter what. I just wanted to be an “old guy” expert for a minute….thanks! 😏❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

[@138NastyNate]

LOL Same thing I thought when I saw her tightening those lugs....."She's even doing it the right way!!! Atta Girl!!" I bet her daddy is so damn proud.

[@jimbrownlee1094]

I don’t like the unguarded PTO shaft on the irrigation pump. Be careful.

[@djcdub3712]

Please put some guards on those PTO shafts.

[@jerrymoore471]

Changing pivot tire that way actually looked the smartest and safest way to do that job

[@jrhead73]

Laura you make farm life look so much better . I smile when I see you doing your think.

[@1mongorock]

Watching your videos with your sweet sunny personality makes my day brighter. Thank you

[@rubberduckscott]

Continuing Prayers for your Grandfather

[@turdferguson1044]

Laura, you do an awesome job! Impressive farmer girl with a great husband, family, and the best smile in Nebraska!

[@brentrollins2572]

Laura, you and Grant lighten my day. I love your enthusiasm💞

[@DuboisWyomingAirportConstructi]

Seeing that pto shaft with no guard sends a chill up my spine.

[@Shakkai99]

Just discovered your channel Laura; fantastic to follow your work, learning how the machinery, and the farm operates - I'm hooked, and am working my way back through your previous vlogs learning more about your family too - inspirational. Thanks for sharing such practical stuff!

[@schandler45]

Please explain how you manage to produce 12-18 minutes of video content daily when others complain about putting out one a week, you are way beyond extraordinary

[@optoid]

Laura, I so enjoy watching your videos. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world it is so comforting to see a young woman making her own way and doing it with a smile. It gives me faith in our country to see exciting, smart young people doing the hard work to feed us. Thank you, Thank you. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@joefudd]

Had to watch the video again today for Laura's smiles and laughs!

[@davidbetts480]

Hello Laura, I am totally enjoying your videos.

[@jeremyvoight5840]

My brother in law and sister run a Reinke business in Greeley Colorado. I also have hauled several Reinke systems out of the plant where made in Nebraska. Nice content

[@TEAMERICA96]

A man's favorite video. Satisfaction of seeing the results of his work.

[@tomcampbell815]

Wanted to say thank you for posting all these irrigation videos. Reminds me of all the summers I traveled through Nebraska out west and loved seeing every mile of it!! Laura, you are literally living my dream life!

[@jbmbanter]

"Unconventional:" That's farming! Glad you have great mentors.

[@scottjewett376]

Laura i think your future looks great . You have a great dad thats very smart and loves you very much and a great husband thats going to keep you happy and yall are going to have a great life and a lot of hard work that will keep yall healthy . love yall and god bless yall.

[@virtuestreams2616]

You made me smile and laugh multiple times. Thank you for sharing a fantastically productive day on the farm! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@zakariasantonius4948]

Amazing job, especially while singing

[@jimbauer5560]

Hey Laura, what about adding safety glasses to your before I start a pivot. Great work today

[@davidschlecht3016]

Laura, love it and list it looks like it's a good idea to the plans of the day. Your corn and beans are looking good. Hopefully you will have some very good yields.

[@jeffstevens9849]

You are working in a shop you should always wear safety glasses especially when working over your head. I know this because when I was in 7th grade I walked over the line into the shop and shop class to get my glasses out of my locker to take a test and I had to write a 500 word essay about the importance of safety glasses even though there were no machines or anybody working in the shop because it was a test day. Your eyes are too important and beautiful to be injured, when you can wear a $3 pair of safety glasses. Love your shows, and ever you say it before the people watching the show probably could be farmers and I think it's true you guys teach people a lot, thanks for all your entertaining videos.

[@scottkaluza4156]

Just watching how happy you are doing what you are doing. Love

[@brianpotteiger5987]

I love all the videos. Wish I lived near a farm operation like yours

[@davebiggers3150]

Love to hear you giggle 😌Good job wit the tire change.

[@jaysartori9032]

I have learned so much about farming thank you, Laura!

[@JR18250]

Why don’t you have a guard over your PTO shaft

[@scratchypants1]

Gives me the willies - stay at least a body length away from them lest you pass out or trip.

[@djcdub3712]

Yup totally got belly butterfly’s looking at that open PTO. Not good.

[@joefudd]

I always look forward to Laura's smiling face glowing in the sunlight and her "gooood moooorning!". Laura did good on the PPE, ear plugs, hair up, but no safety glasses! Maybe next time? I wish that she would show us the cranking of the pivot pump V8 engines and hear them roaring to life. Us Tim Allen and Grant types like that stuff! That engine control start panel is in the worst place possible, right over the drive shaft. If it were mine it would be relocated to the side and a guard would be over the drive shaft. I could make one easily in few hours if I were there and had the materials. Using the sprayer as a jack for the pivot looked like a pretty safe setup to me. Much safer than a farm jack. Since you didn't have to get under the structure no jack stands were necessary.

[@j.zingler6735]

Good morning Laura, love your videos! :)

[@bluenetmarketing]

Great video. Love your smiles! They make my day!

[@robmaloney2289]

Pivot wheel and tire .Well done !!!! Rob and Kelley

[@danpillsbury5192]

You need safety shields on those pump PTOs you are too valuable to get wrapped up in one

[@ianm452]

In the UK, all rotating and moving parts must be guarded by law, wherever practicable. There is no excuse for the drive shaft between engine and pump being ungarded here - it would not even need a dedicated PTO-type guard plus shields at each end. A simple sheet of steel with an inverted U cross section (provided the sides are sufficiently long) or square section would be adequate. This is another example (like the angle grinder with no guard) of a poor safety culture at this farm.

[@ianm452]

When I wrote my comment above, I thought that the engine and pump were rigidly connected. As they aren't, than a conventional PTO shield with separate guards over the universal joints is the solution, not the alternative I suggested.

[@MrGlenspace]

I love to do lists. Crossing things off is just so pleasing. I do not know why, it just is.

[@queticomoe4495]

You and your dad make a great team, Laura! Oh and by the way, your dad is a cool due!

[@davidmorrison8713]

Good job Laura, at least you got all that sorted .

[@jfc31353]

I just love the Laura "Good Mornings" I look forward to this every time I see a new video!

[@jimlong527]

We learn something every day thank you.

[@scott.m.thacker]

@Laura Farms I don’t comment much but I really enjoy your channel. Me and my family want to move to Nebraska so bad. We hate it here in Florida. Unfortunately, we don’t have the finances it would take to make the move.

[@philsparks4125]

You are very entertaining. Really enjoy seeing your wonderful videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Laura Farms Video, thanks for the share

Good thinking . Have a great day

[@pamalvestad3848]

I worked side by side with my Johnny 16 years in the farming operation and he always said two is better than one. Some one to share the good and ugly. Cancer called his life from the use of chemical's over his 65 year's of farming. Please Laura Grant and your family protect yourselves.

I like to do list to just because at work after a day of fencing it may not look like I did a lot, but when I look at what my boss told me to do and it’s done and checked off, I feel liek I accomplished so much more🤣🤣

[@jayrobert5917]

Nice, we have had so much rain here and Eastern New York it’s unbelievable I don’t think there’s pivots anywhere in the state, At least iv never seen any,

[@kiboshkooks]

nothing more fun than pivot tyre changing haha , what a pain, we also had a flat in a corn field but it was to wet to get on so had to use the widow maker, then our buddy just helicoptered the tyre out haha

try wearing a bump cap when working under machinery. apart from saving you from scrapes and lumps on your pip, it tends to keep out sand and grass etc.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Pivots are like milk cows! When you get the feeling things are going too well, everything will probably break down. How many pivots do you have? What brands? The farm I work on has 5 pivots. 2 Valley running on 480 volt 3 phase from diesel generators. 2 Zimmatics running on 3 phase from the power line. 1 Zimmatic running on 3 phase power from a phase converter from the power line. We raise wheat, pulse crops, alfalfa, hay crops. To change tires, we put a pipe between the arms of a bale pickup. Carry the tire in, partially lift the tower, use a pole jack to finish, change the tire, carry the old tire, rim, and a lot of mud out of the pivot. One of the neighbors has 13 pivots all run off of 480 volt 3 phase power line. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

[@leslierobertsmith]

@laurafarms... Hello Laura I hope you are well... I really love all your videos.. Extremely interesting and informative..

[@TheMr9fingers]

Need to make an attachment for the sprayer to make that easier like a center hook point and a little platform for the tools out front
