This is ALL WRONG

[@ORCLEAM]

My Dad the Farmer turned Jet Mechanic always said that any engineer who aspired to design a piece of machinery should be sentenced to maintain it for two years as part of the prototyping process.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

My husband was an Navy Aircraft Mechanic. Got an engineering degree after Navy. He turned out to be a design Engineer for Lockheed Martin and.just retired with 35 years. The mechanics loved him. :)

[@michaelmaxon2931]

I totally agree!! To many engineers don't care what happens after it leaves factories!!

[@bbrcummins1984]

Zack you're a blessed man for having a father that's so CALM AND COOL ✌️

[@dogcreek8547]

My dad was that way, very forgiving. When we understand the fall, it brings light.

[@baileystack1486]

Zach “I haven’t done anything”. Dad “Ok”

[@thisiserich]

I love how aware your dad is. He has a sixth sense for farming. He just showed up out of nowhere when you were testing out the new implement and started eyeing its problems.

[@kevinbeach8915]

When changing the oil filter….I fill it as full as I can…I also use clean oil to lube the seal..old oil has high concentration of contaminants and can break down the seal.. fuel I fill it 1/4 full of transmission fluid (high detergent) then 3/4 fuel…cleans the injectors out real nice…

In Idaho we just got done planting sugar beets and potatoes and are almost done planting wheat.We thought we were late with planting .

[@jeffmartin3406]

Northwest Ohio just started planting yesterday, then we got a half inch of rain last night. Uugh.

I’m glad you keep things pretty pg and don’t swear. My 3 yr old likes watching with me

Just stay away from my tik tok 😂😂 I go more unfiltered over there!

Those engineers ! Always ready to make maintaining your machines SO easy !

[@digger5858]

Glad to see you out in the fields. Hope you have a great year with your crops!!!

[@berty1422]

Good luck with planting. We are at 56 Degrees North and the farmers are just about to harvest their first crop of Rapeseed. Then its usually wheat after that, and then silage or turnips towards the end of the year.

[@tylercochran9553]

I do the oil changes and preventative maintenance on our mowers where I work and most of the time I can use the oil extractor to mitigate all the spills, works well!

[@andrewruble7706]

It is extremely satisfying to watch you till the soil. Can't wait to see the season unfold. Thanks for sharing!

[@rdyardie]

Millennial Farmer makes great comments as he carries out regular maintenance. He is honest. Have a great planting season. 😊

[@mmurphy2317]

I think he gets it from his dad!?!

[@MillennialFarmer]

​@@mmurphy2317 that's accurate!

[@Silverhaze78]

Its nice to hear that you and the other 3 family's are taking over that range. Its very important for kids to learn this at a young age to keep the community thriving.

I just finished planting my first crop of the year, Sweet corn. I have a 75-80 day and a 68 day. Seeing which one is the best down here in Florida.

[@Galactis1]

As long as Anhydrous is not part of this years plant. I mean, it would be nice to get the seeder and NH3 working but..... Another time maybe. We do not want Becky to go away or lose her sanity! lol Can't wait for planting, pretty excited. Also, new grain bin yay.

[@garyclaassen4098]

Enjoy the State Championships, all 9 days of it. My school also competes here in Kansas but ours is only 2 days. Wonderful friendships are made with shooting sports in the high schools. PULL

[@ecmnfarm2265]

Buy a silver sharpie and mark your hoses in and out or use different colored zip ties, it makes life so much easier. I hooked up our planter the right way the first time and you can't imagine how time saving that is.

[@jtdiomond1]

Or different counts of zip ties if you don't have different colors. (1 tie on the RH hose for box 1, 2 for box 2 and so on)

[@faithschmid7915]

Nice! Happy to see you guys in the field!

[@Tinytraveler]

I love spring, excited to see you guys getting ready for this season! My best wishes!

[@omegalpha28]

those fumoto style drain valves are great. at the frieghtline i work for we put them on all our forklifts. it makes the oil changes much cleaner and no striping the pan bolt out! ive even out them on my own cars.

[@deanharrower684]

THANKS Zack and Family. by far the Millennial farmer has become my most favorite thing to watch. I look forward to every new show, Hope you have an awesome 2023 season.

[@crestedkitty5457]

Sometimes when the oil is draining, I'll take a center punch and punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and near the top, as a breather, and catch the oil out of the filter. It avoids the mess when it tends to run over the top while unscrewing the filter. Although you still need a straight shot down to the bucket for this to work. Or a cardboard 'funnel' to direct it away from obstacles.

[@brunko2809]

Awesome to see you and the other families keep that trap range alive! I shot in high school and went to our state which they deemed the nations largest trap meet in Doniphan NE. There was 24 total trap houses

[@stevebiddle8912]

I found it really interesting to see you setting up the new field cultivator. So much technology!

[@markbridle9329]

We removed filters with a large plastic bag around it, soon as the filter came free it dropped into the bag which also caught the fuel/hyd oil.

[@KevinJD2030]

We already have prepared the soil for planting corn in the Netherlands and most is already planted😌 for a year as wet as this we are very early with planting and fieldwork

[@mikebournival6932]

Mower started right up cuz you didn't leave it out in a snow bank all winter 😂😂😂

[@anjabrosbl5473]

Hi Zach If you make a small hole in the bottom of the fuel filter, most of the liquid can come out before removing the filter. Then you don't waste as much. Nice channel you have here on KZbin, I'm a big fan👍🙂 from Denmark Regards, Martin

[@steveneal2706]

awesome video. Didnt understand much of it, but sure do enjoy watching Zach and Dad farm. Love the relationship you too have. Thank you guys and I am so happy Planting season has started. Love it

[@waterskiingfool]

I'll be checking on that wheat field this summer when I drive by. Glad you guys are getting planting

[@forgeddesignslab]

"Are you okay?" "I'll take him to the doctor later." This is Gold🤣

[@hulmestanner]

Once you get it figured out the truset is a sweet system. Our 2660vt is loaded with all the adjustment. Kind of intimidating when you first hook up but once you get it going it’s awesome

[@sasfarmer]

What would make leveling much nicer is a hydraulic cylinder with a visual depth gauge system.

[@paxbonum4683]

Looks good Zack. The park is very cool. Great place for families to make memories. God bless!

[@nejc8886]

Good work zack i realy apriciate the work you do for us

Congrats on the land purchase, glad to see you supporting the school trap shooting. I'm a big supporter of our local trap teams as well.

[@eddiebear8370]

I use those little plastic kiddie pools when I change my filters. Works amazing. No mess except for the pool.

[@markbranch9804]

Here in south michigan we plant winter wheat. Harvest it in July

[@caseyellis7202]

We live in Missouri, and we are done planting our farm

[@durgan5668]

Glad to hear about the wheat being planted.

[@adieprior9482]

I found this channel a couple of months ago and now watch random videos every evening. I have nothing to do with farming but find them fascinating. Keep up the good work. All the best from across the pond in good old Blighty.

[@frankroelofs5526]

If you don’t want to make a mess when changing the filters, poke a hole at the bottom of the filter and let them drain out first.

[@steveanderson4768]

I never realized you guys were that far north I thought you were southern Minnesota. I’ve been to the Minnesota state trap high school championship twice. I’m going up there this year. I didn’t know that you guys purchased it pretty wild. I am a vendor at the event.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Awesome! With what company? Hopefully I'll get to meet you!

[@langhilau]

Hi Zac, I was in your neighborhood yesterday and if I had of seen this video earlier we could have stopped to see the shooting club in Alex. Or cabin slash summer home is located on West Silent Lake outside of Perham. If I ever get the chance I would love to meet your dogs, oh and you as well!

[@stephengile530]

Small garbage bag works great for catching oil and fuel when changing filters.

[@calcolbert3443]

We are planting triticale to bale in may followed by 2 nd crop beans on 100 acres in NE Missouri

[@lancemoore6537]

Hey Zach, have you thought about only running strip till in the spring? It’s what we do here (I know your conditions and soil are different). Just the strip till only. Leave the fertilizer cart off.

[@kylebuckner7374]

I know in the past he's said the traditional till helps to dry the ground out. I'm guessing that's why he probably hasn't tried. But that's just a guess

[@Head-ck4hu]

Zack's getting better at filter changes. I think it was the combine filter that wreak havoc a few years back. It amazes me that those rocks just plop out like earth turds.

[@mikeyc1928]

I believe it was the filter on the sprayer. Zach even used a grinder at one point.

[@Mrsilverado18]

That was the sprayer

[@NPzed]

Freeze thaw cycles move mountains! The dead heads (no, not the Trudeau dead head) rocks are easy for it xD.

[@myronparks3495]

I think it was the oil filter on the sprayer.

[@johnboer5479]

Every 2 year oil filter change?? I think he needs a little more practice.

[@bertrutledge4546]

Glad to see you are getting in the field, planting time.

Come down to southern IL to the World Shooting Complex by us if you want to see a mega facility. 120 trap houses stretching 3.5 miles, 2 sporting clays courses, 24 combination trap/skeet fields, cowboy action shooting and 1,001 50 amp campsites.

I Heard the train, saw the rail grainers, Question elevator nearby? Transload from farm truck to rail for wheat? Good thing to plant wheat in the field of the shooting range. You will earn your wheaties! LOL.

[@brianthesnail3815]

Funny that 'not level front to back problem' still exists despite all the sophistication of tractors and implements now. Its 35 years since I sat on a tractor doing this exact same job here in the UK. In fact, I saw someone driving a tractor with an implement on a levelling soil out yesterday on our local horse racing course and I turned to my wife and said the front coulters are not doing the work that the back coulters are doing because the top linkage needs shortening. I only needed 10 seconds to figure that out. You never lose the skills. 😉

[@adambrewer4400]

for large filters on my diesels and duel like that I always slip a large ziplock over the filter and loosen it that way it collects in the bag

[@paulhansen9626]

Best suggestion I have for not making a mess when changing filters is drill or punch a hole with a nail as close to the bottom as possible. Then you know exactly where the fluids gonna come out or if there's space use a small funnel with a hose right to your catch pail

[@tomcander3669]

Have you ever changed filters on tractors or heavy equipment? Funnel with a hose is not usually an option

[@paulhansen9626]

@@tomcander3669I'm a farmer myself and have yet to run into something I can't get a funnel under. I use a 3" funnel

[@paulhansen9626]

@@tomcander3669 trying be be a smart ass but H and M don't have spin on filters so I wouldn't suggest drilling a hole in the canister. I've worked on everything from a 2520 john deere all the way up to quad tracks. They all have enough room for a small funnel

I Feel like Farmers in general must be pretty good at the game Rush Hour Traffic ! Started watching a few Farming channel and they seem to always be moving vehicle/machinery around.

[@NdMoreSpd1.0]

Looks like a Fumoto valve on the JD, absolutely love how much easier it is to change oil when you don't have to worry about washer replacements etc. May or may not work great on your equipment but I've had decent luck putting a larger diameter funnel under filters then using a screwdriver (or a punch) to knock a hole in the bottom. Drains off the vast majority of the inner fluid and saves a lot of hassle dealing with the mess. Stay save, best of luck with the range and the this year's crops sir.

[@OWNER132]

I don’t think any mess you make changing the oil will compare to the year you needed the grinder to remove the oil filter from the sprayer 😂

[@MillennialFarmer]

Don't remind me of that!

[@smedlap8789]

I was going to ask you about going into the fields and picking the rocks. at 14 minutes you mentioned you used to back in the day. When I was in high school a few of my friends lived on farms and every year it was rock-picking time and they would walk the fields and pick rocks. Im 43 and considered old so you saved me having to ask and look old. 🤣🤣

[@kenjaminhanson3853]

If you put a bag around the filter before you take it off, you have less mess.

Nothing beats the oil filter you had to cut of the tractor I’ll still go back n watch that video once in a while cause it’s my favorite one.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Your field at the shooting range is quite a ways away. We had a field like that and travel time took up a lot of our time. In our case we had to go thru a small town. Took quite a bit to adjust that tillage machine. Now it seems to do a great job. Nice to have that other tractor run aside from you so you can see what it is doing to the ground. Good way to get it set. Very nice tillage piece of equipment. Does a great job. Planting will be going soon I believe you said. Couple day. I am surprised you ground dried up that soon. Wow. Time to put seed in the ground. Go time. Got your oil and filters changed out. Always a big job. The size difference on the Deere motors amazes me. Same tractor but bigger or smaller motor. Hard to keep track of. Maintenance is always important. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Zach. The Iowa Farm p. Steve.

Saw a Short earlier where they used a large solo cup to take off a smaller filter cleanly. Maybe an old bread bag would fit your big filters? It's not a big deal just wanted to mention it. In case it bugs you more than you let on, heh heh. Have a good one all!

Just observation, but wouldn't taking the upper fuel filter out be easier, and less messy, if you took the shield off on that side as you did on the oil side? Those giant hoses might not be a factor.
