You know Chet, a manlift course aint that expensive, maybe you all should go through it. The course expires in three years BUT the knowledge of how to SAFELY operate a man lift is invaluable

[@lisaharvey4373]

Love how you take such good care of the land Chet impressive to say the least!

[@lstone.09]

All of you are awesome. Even tho some of what you do on the farm might not be your favorite job you always manage to see the brighter side of things. Having said that you also manage to try to somewhat enjoy it and make the best of it. All of you are a true inspiration for several others. The videos are always awesome to watch even when DougO' is riding the struggle bus at times. Thanks for sharing your videos. 🚜🚜🚜

[@truckermike1997]

Great morning started with Ivers Farms and finished with Larson Farms. Happy Thanksgiving to the Larson family and crew.

[@donwestbury6251]

I do dirt work for a living and it all started when I was young and lived on a farm. It's the smell of fresh worked dirt. Farmers and dirt workers get addicted to it and it's darn near impossible to get over it.

[@danielgrenon531]

Put some holes in the burner cover and when you go to remove it hook a cable or lite chain to it and have a way to pull it through without climbing in there. The storing of the chain/cable can be off to the side during heating operations.

[@FreemanVashier]

put a line of grommets on the burner cover and you can drag ropes thru as you blow it out. Attach on other side to cover and just pull it over from other side saving the need to climb thru again

[@kennethwiklund102]

Finally, a new video. The highlight of the weekend. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

The owners of the farm being improved were originally from Sweden.

Great video Chet I can tell that you just luv cleaning out the dryers. Lol . Tile work is so much fun. See you in the next video.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Lots of work after harvest. And you have clean up after the bin site repairs. I used to enjoy tile and dirt work myself. Tiling is so important to the farm ground. Be careful with that power lift. Those things can get dangerous pretty darn quick. Be careful guys. My compliments to Larsons for the work they do to improve the farm ground. You are really good at it. Cleaning out a dryer is no fun. Dirty job it is. You are doing all kinds of jobs right now. That time of year. All for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy.

[@bigln3706]

Im a firefighter and went to a call where a man drove a man lift over a curb and got thrown out. He was about 8 feet off the ground and didn’t survive. Safety first! He would be here today if he used a harness

[@elijames3041]

Hay have an grate evening

[@lchebuhar9212]

I think it’s cool that you guys are always improving the land / process! 💪👍🏼

[@dsmreloader7552]

Always thought those tile closers should have a press wheel on the back or middle to compact some dirt back into the cut.

[@colorado1088]

Maybe they want it to settle by itself throughout the verticle cut.

[@swamprat69er]

I think that trench closer would be good for hilling potatoes, too.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

Happy thanksgiving!

[@daveevans2710]

Looking forward to watching Dougo get stuck in that filled in washout next spring. 👍😁

[@72bigfoot]

I was once advised to soak the whole burner down with wd-40 helps prevent the holes rusting closed. It works well on our tower dryer.

[@Bryer68]

Great video Larson farms from Bryer

[@olenilsen4660]

7:30 - I love that, just how I do it as well - in Norway! ;D You just use what you got to stop bleeding on everything you touch... 13:15 - How deep is your top soil layer? A lot of farmers did things like this some 40-50 years ago, and was left with fields full of clay. I have no idea what your soil layers look like, but make sure you don´t decrease your area of top soil...

[@peterbenson3776]

Its a lot of cleaning because of course you have pride and make work easier for yourself later.

Not a farmer hell can't hardly grow a garden 🤣. But it is fun watching you guys and your high jinx 😂

We hope the whole crew stays safe around the bins!

[@mndeveloper9836]

Border View Farms had a drier fire earlier this year. He put it all on his channel. Video is titled "Drier is on Fire" It looks like the dryer is similar to yours

[@bart3531]

Dryers... we love making a mess when someone else cleans it up... hey Big Suede, where are ya? Clean up on aisle 13 now! @ farm workers on a lift is way too much Disney Land fun for one morning it appears. Just listening to a dozer run gives ya the chills... run or be run over.

[@caper2x]

Crazy idea, Larson crew. Can you use unused rings to expand one of your existing bins and add capacity?

[@45Deere9500]

They possibly could, but also it might not be possible/ practical. The gauge of the metal in a bin is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, i.e. thinner at top and thicker at the bottom. Where the added rings would go to make the bin taller, would depend on the gauge of the good bin sheets that are left. If the thickness of these sheets dictates they need to go in the middle of the bin height wise, that is much more work than if they could be added to the bottom. Overall, the bin would need to be evaluated to see if it would withstand the new stress of the extra grain, as well. It’s possible that this could be overcome by adding stiffeners, if there aren’t any already, but they don’t always solve the issue. Bin sheets are rolled for a specific diameter bin. Based on what I’ve seen of their grain system, it appears they only have the one other bin of that diameter, which the bin crew repaired using parts of the bin they tore down. I’d imagine some thought was given to making the remaining bin taller, using rings from the torn down bin, and for some reason(s) it was decided against doing so.

[@randykovalenko1236]

All their bins fill from the leg with spouts or cross augers so any bin modifications would also involve re engineering the fill systems.

[@ClaytonHartin]

To run the tile rip line you run the dozer track over one side of the rip then jump to the other some once the first side is done. Then run over the entire rip line down the center and that will close it. That’s how we do it when we plow underground utility’s in

[@gregjames5070]

And that my friend is how you collapse brand new tile

[@mattthomas3207]

Alot of farmers don't realize grain storage is the money maker in farming! It might be 3 bucks a bushel when you put it in there and a few months later it could be 5. Plus you save on docking fees from the elevator. So when you have a few million bushel storage like they do there's possibilities to make extra millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars

[@vibeal]

Chet, they call them contours in Australia.....check out The Jackson Brothers (vlog 63)

[@pede1958]

WASCOB's water and sediment control basins or so the NRCS calls them.

[@arthurs5704]

So cool you guys get to use all sorts of equipment. Do you own the dozer or do you rent it when you need it?

[@jasonthompson6255]

Hey chet check out jackson brothers farming here in Aussie land....they run 2 D11 dozers for their drainage and contour work

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

You should have a man lift like that on the farm. They are very handy for many things like washing equipment so you can stay above it while washing. It makes checking bin levels quick and easy and avoids having to climb.

[@colorado1088]

I bet you could rent it out a lot also.

[@randydev1020]

cheaper to rent and it is new and no maintenance for a piece of equipment that has to be safety

[@kurt3543]

@@colorado1088 they better be insured to rent out there equipment if someone gets killed on it.

[@kurt3543]

they have a lift they use in the wash bay in the pole barn

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

@@randydev1020 The rental companies don't make money by renting equipment for less than the cost of ownership. If you rent on a long term, you are buying the machine without the benefit of owning it at the end of the contract. As a business, you may be able to write off the cost against the profits. Depending on where you are, there are not always units available at short notice for a day or week. The company I worked for owned one and in that setting, the lift had to be inspected annually. When it needed some work, the company management decided not to repair it and rather to rent, "as needed". When there was a breakdown that OSHA safety regulations required a manlift to access, none of the rental companies had any units available. They were forced to hire a company that had a manlift available to come in to do the job.

[@OOpSjm]

Learned that one isn't supposed to use pea rock/gravel for drainage as pea rock will compact closer and reduce free space. . Use clean/washed cut stone (no smooth surfaces).

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Might want to buy some new tracks for that dozer. It'll push a hellofa lot more dirt.

[@iare19]

You should leave the "hump". First rain you'll see how it compacts.

[@brianmclellan7001]

You need to wear a harness when you go up in a lift. If you ever seen someone thrown out of the bucket you would wear one. It only takes a minute let's not have any accidents.

[@cw93711]

Pivots are easy compared to having to haul pipe and use water winches. Then move and reset. Then move and reset. And pickups in early 80s weren't nice like now to sleep in since we got to sleep in them to drive between fields all night and summer long in Wisconsin
