The MowerGate scandal is a major scandal in the United States involving 35 year old Zach Johnson the Millennial Farmer, farming KZbin sensation. The scandal stemmed from a bad starter on the mower and the pressure of racing mother nature fall of 2021. Ultimately mother nature and the internet trolls won. All jokes aside it was a busy day on the farm hauling grain, dead batteries and putting the John Deere Mower away. #FarmerScandal

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

@Millennial Farmer get a digital tire pressure gauge. Master mechanic here, I have had one for 10 years and it still works. I recommend the type you can also use as a tire inflator, you can use it as just a gauge without air hooked up, but also, if you have your air hose hooked at the same time everytime....you can add air as needed

I would like you to know how much I appreciate the role you play in providing the content and on the challenges in farming…….but it might not mean much coming from just one person and i think there would be more people out there that also share the same opinion . There is a brotherhood between farmers……not only those farmers in America 🇺🇸, but all over the world 🌎 . You all have to endure the same struggles…..i mean the high’s and low’s when it comes to the cost of producing a given crop…..so as to recoup the money 💰 out lade and make a profit that would go into either maintenance on the machinery or upgrades to make them more efficient and bring down the running cost which would lead to a greater profit margin…..so keep the content coming Zack and don’t listen to those moronic back seat farmers who seem to know everything about farming and god bless both your self and family.

Hey Zach, mechanic here. Your Peter coolant sensor on the bottom of the burp tank is likely on the fritz, which is likely why your truck keeps telling you to stop the engine. Sometimes you can clean them with electric parts cleaner. Otherwise they are fairly cheap, but to replace you'll want to drain the coolant first... unless you can move quick to switch those sensors. 13 gallons is usual with that engine if I recall correctly. As far as 99% of your stuff dying all the time, might be due to the private radios not being cut off from power supply when the truck is off. A simple toggle switch hooked into the supply line at the back of the radio should do the trick. Also one other recommendation, weld some wingnuts to the top of the bolts on the battery box. Helps tremendously if you dont have an impact.

A tip on recaps . If you watch the tires on the front axle of your trailers when spinning around in a tight turn . The front axle tires drag sideway across the ground . If those tires are retreads , dragging sideways will peal the tread .For this reason only put retreads on the rear axle . On the tractor don't put retreads on the drive axle . I noticed your trailer has retreads on the front and new on the rear . I never had luck doing that .

Sorry but it's the rear axles that get drug sideways. The trailer or tractor for that matter, the front axle of the tandem axle, is the pivot point. On a tandem axle, the rear axle tires always wear out faster then the front axle tires by a ratio of at least 2 to 1.

@@patrickburgmeier7902 So if you stand by the trailer when it is making a sharp turn , the axle dragging the tires , don't put recaps there for obvious reason And drive wheels peal recaps in hot weather . If one axle wears tires faster that the other. It could be the axles are not lined up with the king pin .It is unbelievable how good a trailer rides with straight axles. Thanks for the reply .

@@kenreese2791 i know what you are saying about a super tight turn when the trailer and tractor are in a jackknifed position, yes the 2 axles are dragging. The front axle is dragging into the turn and the back axle is dragging away from the turn. And if you are on hot pavement, yes it is possible to peel retreads off. I wasn't referring to that instance tho. I waa referring to a gradual turn as found in normal highway driving. In these instances the front axle is the pivot axle and the back axle takes the brunt of the skidding. I don't run retreads because until they came out with dual tire equalization valves, the dual tires would heat up and pressurize at different rates. The inside tire being closer to the brake would be at a higher pressure than the outer one and cause separation of the retread and a tire blow out. Retreads are not worth the headache. Thank you for your reply.

If you need an outside battery charger, you could make one with a pressure washer engine, and a 24v alternator. Some used on JD are not too expensive. The nice thing is that when it runs out of gas, it stops, and you can't overcharge the batteries. This could be a good thing to use if you have trouble with starting equipment in the field.

Howdy Zack, I made my own tire pressure gauge many a year ago. I took a air tire chuck (w/male threads) added a coupler and bought a really nice gauge (back 50 years ago only about $10). I never bought a tire gauge again and I still use the original one I put together. I just put one small drop of 3 in I oil in it before and after every use and store it upright so it doesn't pool in the gauge. I have made several more since then, but they are probably all in storage waiting for their next owner. And I've noticed that you have, batteries going dead problem around the Farm. I have read on the power of the pyramid, though I've never took the time to look into it because I never had a problem with dead batteries. Have Jim weld up some 1/8" common steel into Pyramids (or just one to try) and place them on top of the battery. I forget what the ratio is between base and height (or degree of slop on the sides. Have to look that up, just check out the big 3 in Egypt. Not saying this will solve your problem because I have never done it, but it certainly is worth looking into. You must sit on a Strong N/S Magnetic Line for your batteries to drain in just a few days. A Pyramid might be the answer. Thanks for sharing your life. You have way more guts than I! But who wants to watch an old cripple man sitting at a computer 1/2 his waking hours? My Doing Days have passed and I'm retired just trying to enjoy my painfully Golden Years. Hope you will try the ideas, especially the tire gauge. I'm sure it will be worth your time.

Hey Zach. I would strongly recommend a extended hose air chuck that clips on to the valve stem. Refilling air (especially on a tire that has been ran low at all) can be a good way to do permanent damage to your ears. Sidewall gets weak from running low and they cant hold the new pressure and go kaboom. Don't ask me how I know. But i now have an air chuck with a 10' extension hose.

My last dog would catch mice under the snow, this one not so much. The cat even brings them in and gives them to him. The funniest thing was the cat brought him a tiny duckling I think because the dog loves squeaky toys. I spent all day looking for a duck family to return him to --- Every spring there are quite a few cheap mowers that were hit by snowplows. I don’t know who the idiots are, the mower owners or the plow drivers, although often they are the same.

I don't let my cats outside for that reason. I also don't want to see them hurt animals in their hunting endeavors. Cats are a non-native invasive species, and should not be allowed to roam the block.

@@Farm_fab I did see that video. The plow driver was going way to fast as I think even stopped cars would have been damaged. What I was talking about was people plowing driveways and actually crashing into mowers parked in locations that were a poor choice.

I think "MowerGate" is a great chance to create a line of photographic art - "Minnesota Winter Photography by the actor whom plays the Millennial Farmer" - I also believe it would be a cool collector tshirt - no make that hoodie for the colder weather. Living in a colder climate it has been my experience that stuff breaks/doesn't want to run, usually right before a big snow storm - it is simply Murphy's Law, Corollary 1.2 and I quote: "If you are attempting to get all your equipment into storage before a storm of any kind, at least 1 piece of equipment will not cooperate". In all seriousness, many could learn from your attention to the servicing your equipment. Checking oil, tire pressures and "walk arounds" are not the most glamorous or fun jobs on the farm, but they keep your investments safe. Always enjoy your content!!

I'm late to this video, but I saw your issue with the 579. I drove for a company that runs an all 579 fleet. Those coolant sensors are one of the most common failure points on those trucks. Sadly, it's the float inside the tank that goes bad usually. Which requires the whole tank assembly.

I can hear it now; "How dare you abuse that poor lawn mower!!!!". All while you're focused on getting paid for eight to nine months of work so you can keep a multimillion dollar farming operation afloat. So many people don't realize that just one of the tires on the sprayer you moved out in the video is worth more than the lawnmower (more or less). Hey people!!! If push comes to shove, the lawnmower can become a wheel chock for a combine if it saves the harvest...

It requires two hands to use , but use a compression tester gauge, adapted it to air line couplers, and use the tire fill chuck's to check tires. You can adapt to use straight on or use it with a hose . Check valve holds the pressure so you can read it .
