[@naterussell6025]

no ragrets at all.

[@polarcanada3246]

Geologist here. The lines in the rock (14:02) are veins of a mineral such as quartz which is harder than the rest of the rock. So the rock has been eroded away since its softer

[@southernrrman]

I've also seen limestones erode that way.

P.S. You can come get all your Canadian rocks back from Minnesota any day now. 😂

[@ianmckay1780]

Thanks for that information!

[@SamuelManaole]

This rock invasion blows my mind ! I grew up in St. Louis so very naive. Learning all the time.

[@tiddums1151]

Entrance scene... Anna looked like Mount Shepard Ditch looked like Nervous Nellie.

[@kfabulous2531]

Zach I noticed your Peterbilt has an auxiliary power unit attached. You know you can put the apu in fan mode and turn the fan dial to off position and the apu will be in stand by mode. It will start up when it senses low battery level and shut off again when your batteries are fully charged. Save yourself a lot of trouble charging batteries.

[@kustom4935]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... your dogs are so stinkin’ cute riding in the backseat of the Ranger 🥰.

Rock picking technology is mind boggling. Not like the old days when you wandered around the field and either used the hydraulic rock picker or front end loader. Something for an old retired guy to do.

[@moosedogdad]

Or riding behind the tractor on a sheet of old steel bolted between two heavy boards with chains running to the tractor. Uncle drove the tractor and us cousins would load rocks by hand. When we had a good load we went to the side of the field, preferable in a shelter belt, and throw them off. Was told the rig was originally pulled by horses.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Heard a Nebraska farmer thought about a farm in Minnesota. Asked about the piles of rocks, realtor admitted some of you guys were too lazy to scatter them out.

[@bmorg7244]

For those about to rock... We salute you!

[@4wheelliving132]

That spot you put the tree stand at looks like an excellent location for an enclosed elevated hunting blind....with heat

[@paulanderson7893]

Zack, my worst quarter section, had 3159 rocks. I plan to have Terraclear do the entire farm. I have done a 4th of my farm so far. After my soybean fields were picked by terraclear My dad who is 83 was able to work 600 acres with the 335 turbo till and only break 2 blades. I whole hearted endorse

[@backfill9183]

Have you thought about using a rock crusher pulled behind one of your tractors?

[@paulanderson7893]

@backfill9183 the pull type pickers would beat the top of the soil too fine and leave the soil at risk for wind erosion

[@backfill9183]

@@paulanderson7893 I said crusher, not picker. Yes I could understand it being to fine, my experience has taught me that set up of a crusher with a packer behind it leaves little to no chance of erosion. Just a thought for the super rocky ground, otherwise Tera clear is a awesome company to work with

[@paulanderson7893]

@backfill9183 it is the windrower that causes the fine soil for the erosion. A rock crusher requires a lot of energy to reduce the rocks into gravel. In an area like Minnesota without gravel deposits, crushing rock makes sense. Where I live, there are ample gravel deposits available, so the rock crushing doesn't makes sense

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi....nice rock's......have a rock pickin party.... invite the neighbors free beer ....LoL.....merry Christmas to you and family........ Deborah 🇨🇦🙏❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@dubious6718]

Just an idea... put the snow equipment under roof so its not frozen when you need it.

[@Allen-w9d]

Besides all of that mineral rich soil, those 2 mile thick glaciers carried a lot of rocks they scraped up from the north and then dropped in Minnesota.

[@eddeetz493]

The rock pickers can also make bank selling the stones for landscaping. Stanley the dirt monkey feom Minneapolis would be a great channel collaboration Field to fent yards. Gabion wire baskets make great entrances, retaining walls, pond edges. With a skidloader turn Onyx loose. Great outdoor kitchen/patio edges. raised air pruning grow beds. rocks exterior and dump the dirt inside.

[@tomhill4765]

The grooves in that rock look to be glacial grooves. They may have been cut into the rock as the glacier pushed it over harder rocks.

[@EP2JS]

That crazy looking rock would make a nice lawn ornament.

[@bigeasy2595]

This has been up for 8 hours and just now KZbin has notified me

[@steveandermatt5668]

That rock under Onyx's deer stand looks that way probably from being part of glaciell till.

[@Machines.In.Action]

13:54 - What if that rock isn’t just a rock? ☄ Maybe it’s a meteorite that crash-landed from the far reaches of space!

[@stevenslater2669]

2:30: I had to laugh. A wall full of fasteners - and you have to go into the back storage to sort thru stuff piled on shelves. The equivalent of me digging thru my coffee cans. My Dad used to call the coffee cans his “Jewel Boxes”. Don’t sort out the contents! That way when you need a bolt or two, they’ll (probably) be there. At least a single piece.

[@bmorg7244]

I use the same system, random boxes, cans, drawers and an old tool box all with random hardware in them. Works great until you need two or more of the same bolt!

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

That rock by the tree stand looks similar to the ones at devils tower in Wyoming.

[@watchthe1369]

All the ground contact parts on tractor implements need to be bolt-ons that break at the bolt before the mainframe bends.

[@joshbarrowcliff3019]

No wonder why that rippers falling apart. Look at all the rock it harvests!

[@ke6gwf]

I think Terraclear is planting the rocks, dropping them from the drone, kind of like Chem trails from airlines!

[@charlieward9500]

Good job Zack

[@georgew.5639]

You get rock sand when you run those rocks through a crusher. 😆

[@volvojohn9036]

I have "an inherent distrust in man's ability to do anything right". I don't trust that those straps will hold Onyx as he hangs on a tree over large rocks. Be safe.

[@reboot_2.00]

Are you looking for rocks in NJ too??🤔🤣

[@Head-ck4hu]

It still defies my concept of physics that these rocks float up from below the ground.

[@M8Stealth]

As a land of rocks and cows expert 😅, frost every winter compresses the soil and pushes them up

[@MillennialFarmer]

@@Head-ck4hu I'm with you!

[@robertpeters9438]

Now if the rock picker drones used GPR to tell what to avoid or what needs to be dug up before it causes more problems...that would be game changing.

Lol No Ragrets!!! Were the Millers such an underated movie!!!

[@larsharris]

I found a nice deer stand one winter. But next spring a guy who had permission to hunt mentioned he lost a deer stand. Oh well.

[@ThomasRussell-e9q]

That rock with the ridges in it was caused by the shifting and compression of tectonic plates.

[@ryanjbalis1615]

as a kid my dad always said that the rocks breed in the winter. ive made my fair share of piles

[@larrydavidson3402]

Very interesting looking rock. I do think Onyx has Buck Fever.

Onyx really should have a harness on. It is a lesson I learned the hard way didn't get seriously injured but had to throw out a pair of underwater on

Might should get one of the TerraClear guys to take a look at that rock. See if they can tell you if they have ever seen anything like that or know why it is like that.

How?... Go into the settings and turn off rocks? They'll disappear 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@barrysimmons5489]

With all of those rocks it'd almost pay to get a crusher that'd run off of a tractor. Put'em in the driveway instead of hedgehogs. Ya think maybe?

[@tallboy49]

Could that rock picker be mounted on the front of a tractor like where you now have a bucket mounted. Would not be so maneuverable as the skid steer but would save having to buy another or bigger skid steer. Just a thought.

[@jasonasselin]

Wait until you find out your rocks GLOW under UV lights. Glacial movement puts rocks there from Canada most likely. I'd love to come with my lights and see what treasures you have lurking. lol

Zach. You seem to be having fatigue issues with your ripper. Might be worth a discussion with JD about it. Could you get a complete new set of bolts and u bolts for your machine FOC or at reduced cost? Seems an unnecessary cost to replace the machine over inadequate bolts.
