Phenomenal Corn Harvest

[@markstoll9636]

Zach...your content over the past 6 weeks has gone way up because youve taught yourself to ignore the jerks and youre being yourself. thank you. and thank you for teaching the world how agriculture works

I suspect it has more to do with it being harvest time than anything else.

[@FreedomRock44]

Zach has always been himself he sometimes wears t-shirts to push a little politic but mostly so he can say.....I make a funny!!!!!! Me Zach!!!!! He cracks himself up. I might disagree with his politic but I know he gets a charge out of slipping it in...so in a way he cracks me up. I enjoy letting him know I saw the UNBURDEN bS(Crop prices are low because of favorable weather and a strong production outlook(THAT IS NOT POLICY BASED)) and you best be ready for a word that rhymes with SHARRIFS!!!!!!!! And another word for a MALE DEER!!!!!!! with a LATION on the end of it...GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!! That is Zach and nothing has changed. But Zach m0stly is just a good dude doing the best he can farming his Family's farm keeping AMerica Flowing and sharing it with us and eating some Factor, drinking AG1 along the way and watching his basement flood and his garage freeze per Simpli Safe (I make funny)!!!!! I never knew half of what Farmers do or go through Until Zach and Laura. I found Zach through the LCN working on his Pop's new LAWN and drinking a good beer after and it has been nothing but fun since. Seeing the kids grow....Zach being a heck of a dad and husband and SON! Seeing his KIND KIND Father.....who seems like a good gentle soul. Zach???? hahaha Most of all fun while farming and Zach's Zachism's. A ton of Innuendos as well. And his love for his animals as well but SHHHHHHHHH we are not suppose to know that, The DOg's and Shop boss(cat). And his other channel with off farm Family fun is great as well. Love the racing!!!!! Sometimes we get an Appearance by Shecky Johnson but the Big O has backed off his comedy maybe because he is an older teen and more serious not wanting camera time. Which we all get at that age. But the young lad is a chip off the ole block when it comes to humor. Good one liners out of the blue. Then there is Becky of EDITOR fame and Keeping Zach and this CHANNEL a FLOAT...WE ALL KNOW BECKY!!!!!! WHO THE BOSS IS!!!!!!!!! Zach just takes the GLORY!!!!!!

One of my many jobs as a year round mechanic at a golf course was to maintain a fleet of 75 golf carts . Alone. Once a week I had to use an air hose to clean All the air filters clogged with fine dust from our miles of dirt cart paths. I did it for years and never had a filter fall apart. That was back in the late 1970s early 80s.

[@RenniaTrayvold]

Have to agree with others. Some might not consider normal every day harvest 'exciting' (i sure do, it's fun watching your farm do well, and always enjoy watching big machines do work) but most of us would rather see that than some misfortune fall on you and your family, Zach. We wanna see you do well and be in good fortune!

Even Deere's parts documents say to clean your primary every so often, then replace as needed. So yeah, Deere filters are totally fine to be cleaned. And if people don't like it, off is the direction that they can ya know, go.

[@kevinkevlar8050]

Zack your so right about filters. I have a few tri axles and kenworth told me for the first time that it is recomended to blow your filters out as needed. As you do from inside out and inspect for any tears. My filters are $265.00 ea. I will keep blowing out and change every 40000 miles. Keep it between the rows please Zack

[@MillennialFarmer]

This comment confuses me

[@Just_a_Hoser]

@@MillennialFarmer I fixed it. “Everyone knows you’re way more of a man when you can smoothly trickle loose material for the longest duration without interruption from a bucket. Of course you could efficiently spread it over 10 feet, and it would all be fine. But it takes an Alpha to push that boundry and to extend the duration of the dump even though it provides no marginal gains.” In other words, nice flex bro.

Jim is such a great character (great casting btw), never let him retire unless he wants to. Maybe store him in a large pickle jar off season to reverse the ageing.

[@Allen-w9d]

When I worked in the oil field during the late 70s and 80s we had dozens of air filters to clean every week so we built a filter cleaning device that made it easy and quick. We took an old truck air tank and built a stand that would hold it about 3 feet off the ground and strapped it down to the stand. Then we cut a hole in the top big enough to fit the inside diameter of a short section of 4 inch pipe and welded it to the tank with a flange on top.. Then we installed a 4 inch butterfly valve to the end of the pipe and then attached another short section of 4 inch pipe above that with a flange on the bottom. Then we welded a flat plate with a 4 inch hole in the center to end of that pipe. Then we welded a piece of sheet steel to the edge of the plate tall enough to clear our biggest filter by several inches. Then we welded another piece of flat plate to the top of that. Then we drilled a three quarters hole in the center of the top plate and we welded a five eights course thread nut over the hole. Then we got a length of five eights all thread and screwed it through the nut and then we welded a small flat plate to the bottom and welded a tee handle to the top. With that built we could place an air filter into the cage and secure it in place with the plate on the all thread. Then we took a pressure regulator set to 10 to 15 pounds of pressure and screwed it into port on the end of the tank and a fitting to hook up an air hose to the regulator. Then we just let it build up pressure to 10 to 15 pounds and then open the butterfly valve and the surge of air released would go into the center of the air filter and blow the dust out without any dust getting into the center of the air filter. And repeat until dirt quit blowing out. You could do that 4 or 5 times in about a minute or two and have the air cleaner as clean as it is possible to get them. Just make certain that the handle to the butterfly valve handle is on the opposite side of the cage opening.

[@ronaldferino3414]

I hear on some other channels the you always blame the grain cart driver when something goes wrong , but you've fixed that problem by linking the combine to the grain cart tractor. Now it all falls on the combine driver. Probably won't work that way but it could. Liked the don't be square drive one t shirt my granddaughter wanted a square body chevy so my son found one and is going to fix it up for her, so I thought the shirt would make a great Christmas gift, you help me with a gift idea I'm sure she'll like.

[@ML-lg4ky]

God bless the Johnson family for sharing your life with us all.

[@ecleveland1]

Zach, I used to tap the pre-filter on my dozer on the tracks to get most of the dust out. It worked great. I would either blow the rest out then or the next morning when I’m cleaning it again and checking fluids and track tension. I never had a problem doing it and kept using the pre filter as long as I could. Filters are very expensive and if I had to change them every day, sometimes twice a day I wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

Thanks for another great video everyone. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. Your corn harvesting is going quite well and your corn looks great and nice and clean. Good moisture readings also. Good idea to check your machine with the elevator to make sure it is correct. The technology that is available now days is unbelievable. Setting up the ripper to make the turns and control the settings is fantastic. I know you use it Zach and does Jim also or he is old fashioned and steers himself???? Just wondering. You have a good crew for harvest. Teamwork is what it is all about. Thanks for explaining more about your new dryer system. Will take all you can explain there. Interesting system.

Zach, next time you see an electrician, ask if he recommends installing switches for lights, etc. instead of using breakers as switches.
