[@fatherofmany85]

My wife and I have been following your channel for a couple of weeks now and we wanted to get some back history, so we started with the January 2020 videos and worked our way up to this one.... After we binged watched the last 12 episodes last night, we looked at each other and thought that was better than Netflix lol.... We would almost be willing to pay for such great content! :) So from fellow millennial to fellow millennial , keep it up or in Zachs words, keep keepin it between the rows! ;)

[@MillennialFarmer]

That's awesome!! Thank you! There is a 2 part interview I did with Dad about a year and a half ago, check that out for some family history!

[@sl66ggehrubt]

Yeah, and how he got to be who he is. Anyone wanting to hire, or anyone looking to be hired... How the hell do you gain the skillz to fix any random mechanical thing like a pro, is he educated mechanic, work under someone for a while, previous farmer? And why/how did he end up working for this zoomer-boy when he clearly could start his own maintenance business.

[@lazeppelin1]

Ironically I was thinking the exact same thing. He adds a lot to your stories with his colorful commentary.

I can remember the first time I’ve drove a tractor my friend who was 11 at the time and me I was 10 and we were out raking hay and he said he was getting tired so I said ok and he said you wanna learn how to rake hay and I said yea so he got up and we swapped seats and hell I can remember I wasn’t strong enough to shift gears and it was a 3 speed manual so I’d push in the clutch and he’d reach over and shift the gears for me

He's helping to keep the harvesting aspect running as smooth as possible, he's learning different aspects of the entire operation of the family life and last but certainly not least he's giving Grandpa a much needed chance to get that pesty knee healed up although I still think Grandpa will be back a little sooner than he probably should be lol.

[@mattlocklin6471]

I love watching your videos, I Change a lot of bearings at work, watching you do that was painful. that bearing at work would have been about a 15 min job. tips:, _never ever use a hammer -throw the file away the only reason for it is to fix where you hit the shaft with the hammer -put a wire wheel on an impact always use safety glasses on this one it throws the little wires off. -make the shaft look like it was chromed using the wire wheel -pry the bearing off, a really nice bearing puller is very worth the cost. -lube helps but only to get it started, i dont usually have the fancy wd40 stuff on had so used motor oil seems to work well. do not lube it until it looks like chrome. -if it will still run, then run it and use sand paper strips while the shaft spins this is faster than the wire wheel method. its also more dangerous. also if it comes to cutting the bearing off a lot of the time a pipe wrench can get the sleeve moving after most of the bearing is gone, rotate and pull at the same time.
