Haha! I was saying turn it around while you were trying to get the bolts in!

[@Thomas-qc8bu]

Now you guys need a big Larson Farm logo on those tanks. You'd be known from the air

[@charlesjohnsjr.5809]

Google barns with See Rock City. Was one left in my area and a few years ago they painted over it.

[@Rx37Legacy]

So you're saying technically 2 SMALL bolts is supposed to hold 60+k lbs of weight? I'll give it a day maybe before it's off again?

[@qzetu]

The semi trailer is ready for competition.

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

Good job, guys! You all work so well together !!

[@jonathanvickery6542]

Trailer looks awesome

[@fredberger2451]

Love you guys, make me miss all the fun times on our family farm.

[@sallydunbar1683]

It's always a great video when Chet & BS are working together! Have a safe planting season!

[@calebgalbreath0198]

Keep up the great work Chet and stay safe

[@lstone.09]

One way to secure working on a Saturday. 😂 Awesome video guys. It's awesome seeing all of you together in the shop. 🚜🚜🚜

[@jeffreyanderson5304]

So nice to see another Larson farm video i enjoy your videos so very much and your moms videos so much to

[@peterbenson3776]

Engine sounds good on the sprayer rig!

[@user-rd6lx3gg2d]

Thanks for the videos. I love the content! Great work! 😀 👍

[@bruceruhl2879]

Excellent job on the hitch.

[@dmorgan28]

That’s really a nice polish job on that trailer. It looks awesome! You guys work well together and do a great job. Cool video. 👍❤️

[@alecnelson9864]

"Look guys there letting me touch it again" 😂 That made me start laughing at the same time the BIG SWEDE started laughing 😂😂

[@dennislamers986]

Brody is Mr. Clean or Mr. Shiny. Looks great Brody.

[@user-et4fb7yu9e]

Thank you thank you thank you I was bored out of my mind which is not a lot thank you for posting

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Chet. It was interesting and enjoyable. That bolt you twisted off on the fertilizer spreader is always the way it goes. Trying to fix something and you make it worse. Oh my. Am sure you gentlemen can back up and regroup in it and get it fixed. Oh my. That is a funny one on the rock trailer hitch. You thought it needed a small adjustment but you just did not have it on right. Oh my. You got it fixed, no harm, no foul. Like those gauges you all put on the fuel tanks. No more climbing up there to measure. Yeah!!!!! Thanks for everything Chet and crew. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. I see that a lot of Minnesota and Iowa farmers are planting corn now. When do you start??

[@robertaus8420]

We have sight gauges on our tanks. Clear pipe from top to bottom and first fill we marked every 1000 litres as the truck was pumping it in.

[@denault3985]

It's always fun at the Larson's. Oh, oh the implements are fighting you again...

[@coreystevens276]

My day just got a whole lot better when you posted

[@gailp9432]

Thanks for the entertainment. Order Erik a wrench extender and stand back.

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHET AND BRODY 😊

[@h2recoveryteam2]

Brody, ya dune gud. Great job.

[@randybennett5417]

Other farmers will put on their shades when they see the Larsons coming down the road.

[@catchup4430]

Carhartt makes a real nice pair of pants with the kneepads, built-in food for thought grace and peace

[@lannyfenster7461]

Spray air the fertilizer equipment with Fluid Film to stop and prevent rust, this also includes your boat trailer when exposed to salt water

[@frankg5466]

Great idea on hitch repair, if it happens again, put a 3 inch spring in there with an inch play, would need a longer shaft, but would take the jerk out of it.

[@millennialcarpenter1784]

Can’t wait for planting shenanigans

[@joshuanicholsjr5327]

Just watching you guys and the way you work together with your family and all your co-workers brings tears to my eyes of happiness for all and it comes what you all got from Grandpop and Grandmom and Doug and Amy and the great-uncle all working together just the best I have ever saw be safe God bless

[@steveneal2706]

nice video. Thank you

[@piperdoug428]

Yup i'm with the big guy while you were fitting that 2 bolt locking collar it had 2 sides and 2 ends

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

Just a tip if ya want it Chet. it has been my experience putting a lot of torque on a bolt in shear application, REDUCES the shear strength of the bolt. (science)

[@andrewl7467]

Nice Muskoka freerider hoodie. Maybe the big sweed can go to Revy next year.

[@anthonycano2090]

Believe me you guys ain't idiots and you're doing a hell of a job

[@jandyg]

Your gona have to be careful on a hot sunny summer day. That the reflection off the trailer doesn’t start any wild fires! 🔥

[@robertpowell7672]

When I was an apprentice engineer, if you upset the instructor, he made you hacksaw through a 3inch diameter billet of mild steel with a hacksaw.

[@user-vh5th5jm4z]

Raley Bros. in Crowville, La., years ago put in a small ethanol plant, made enough fuel for their operations for penny's on the dollar.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Good stuff guys

[@BruceBergman]

Needs a compression Spring at the end of the eye of the Hitch slider to eliminate shock loading on the hitch eye. The bolt will help, needs a castellated nut and big cotter key for locking the nut.

[@frankmeyer8137]

Brody your asset to this operation..

[@Total_Egal]

Paint a Meassuring Scale with Height and Liter on the Tanks so you can reference the scale to the tankheight visualy. Also in Eye height a chart with the numbers of full, 1/2 or something. Maybee in Red a reminder where it gets to be lower as one fuel load is. Or your lowest point where you have to order new.

[@rickfranck9111]

I'm going to bring you my trailer Brody.

[@hawks2252]

I forget what I was doing, but i was so focused on making it work. I had tools laid out and drawings, etc. Buddy stopped by and said dude, flip it around. DOH.

[@Scotthobart1086]

another great video

[@BruceBergman]

Make sure you have through holes in the pintle sleeve for grease fittings to thread for Zirk greasers. Might need weld nuts and guards for the greasers to not smash the fittings.

[@jjseibert]

Chet, you should have got ultrasonic level sensors then you could have been able to read it from the ground and they are more accurate

[@dougkaylor2528]

great job , now Larson farms give him a big thank you by giving him a big bonus ! all the pain and suffering Brody endured , just to make your equipment look good, hopefully Brody wont have carpal tunnel or need a joint replacement because of all the hard work he does to please you Larson farms.

[@OOpSjm]

Are you not aware that Brody is family?

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Those bolts are Grade 5 you had!

[@jimmyaber5920]

Yep, grade 3-no marks, grade 5-3 marks, grade 8-5 marks. That makes perfect sense!

[@robertquast9684]

I believe grade 5 shear harder then grade 8. Grade 8 has more tensile strength

[@StephenWoodward-bl8ot]

Wet Sand wheels rails tanks with 600 then 1000 then 2000 grit sand paper then polish makes it much easier quicker

[@MichaelHolloway]

mild winter extended equipment life and stretched the maintenance schedule

[@deanadams4405]

Our dump wagon hitches are welded.

[@bethknapp2736]

Did you have full totality? We did it was neat the street lights came on the temps dropped and when the moon completely covered the sun what a view. We also saw 2 hot air balloons go up in the air not far from where we lived so I bet the view they had in the air was really cool😅

[@gonuts1]

if Brody is Mr Clean, The Big Swede is Mr. Fixer.

[@EJHarrop]

Waiting for Chet to use the chop saw on the meter gauges to fix the calibration. lol

[@peterbenson3776]

If that hitch was longer on the back you could put a big compression spring to take out shock

[@BruceBergman]

Your sleeve and through bolt will help but isn't the end of the project. Still need to absorb the shock loads on the hitch system. A Truck suspension coil spring is necessary but finding the right size one is difficult.

[@bryantschell5981]

Never a dull moment

[@waterskiingfool]

Curious to see how long the hitch lasts

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video

[@Tanks-Link]

21:19 with cast-iron, you can weld it. You just have to heat it up with a torch and get it pretty hot and then weld it and then let it all cool and you'll be fine.

[@user-kr5gn9xu7n]

Don’t ever get rid of the olde John Deere fork lift, that thing will out live Chet !

[@fredericdelage1542]

Magnifique matériel agricole et les tracteur sont bien 😮😅😊

[@JohnDeere-jw7jf]

Love it

[@jz1340]

Engineer to the rescue...Swede

[@ReneeGuggenmos]

Why isn't the big swede on as much as before?

[@tallboy49]

Those bolts will probably shear off in time. Should have threaded the end of the bolt and put a large nut with a washer on it.

[@aaronashenfelder1329]

Basically a shear pen but using bolts, carry extra bolts in case

[@carl_h]

You can use your big washer now

[@danadkins2273]

I see the big Swede got him some new shoes😅😅

[@irocz235]

Need stickers for the tanks converting the gauge reading to gallons

[@kylepark3518]

Question. With your proforce trailers. Do you just keep the teragator around for good times? Or are the proforce just on lease and the gator is the main work horse

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

I am very curious how the " new" repaired hitch will work.....

[@driveswithryleeandme]

add that washer back on with tack welds to make it not so sloppy

[@chrisbrachot2637]

You might want a cat & mouse tank level for those tanks.

[@Dany_4129]

Haha I was wondering if you checked all four ways

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@agger838]

I need a brody

[@mikehill9888]

Holland hitches are built with rubber cushions in the industry

[@garynippoldt9602]

Turn the spacer a half turn

[@mikehill9888]

The hitch needs a pillow block of rubber cushion to take up the jarring of the weight.

[@donaldsmith5357]

What is the name of the soap you guys use on the tractors and combine

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chet Broodie Jordan Eric great job Chet how long is it going to last those gages are different

[@user-wz1zi1um7q]

get in the habit of spraying WD-40 on everything before you loosen it, does wonders !

[@alexmikhael5061]

6:54 but cuttin off the BACK END to make the SHIM was indeed a GOOD THING that probabababally actually ADDED SOME LIFE TO THAT JUNCTION for **THIS LIFETIME** anyhow~!~! :) lookin forward to gettin report on HOW LONG IT LASTED !!! IS IT JUNK OR NOT !!?? lol hahahaha

[@scotmayall3067]

That man basket needs a tool/ parts tray you could even set it up to hold your favorite beverage ❤

[@bobendres1542]

Did I miss something? What happened to the big Swede?

[@dougberry1011]

I still think it would becstringervifvrhevnachibe shop cut threads into the shaft and put a large castellated nut with a cotter pin to hold it in place. All that weight and load is on 2 1/2 inch bolts. Hope it works.

[@hansd4861]

All gps , gnss heads after storage need time to download the amphemeris files. About 15mins. Then it will work. Patients!

[@dennispalmer6007]

That meter,gauge , what ever you installed on your fuel tank?? Seems you are spending more time installing and calibrating than it would take to dip the tanks every day.

[@donovanbowen5146]

You know it's closes to planting time when there pull out the terra gator

[@Tanks-Link]

Cool thing is worst thing is it has a shear pin so just carry an extra bolt with you that way if you ever break the bolt, you can just stop put another in and continue on

[@dogcreek8547]

I thought the Big Sweed had the braces removed. Maybe it was a dream or vision.

[@user-em3wi7ex4k]

no struggle till the end

[@garysavage5675]

They do make Wi-Fi gauges now that go straight to your phone or computer you know.

[@firstlast7867]

Swed have a knee brace?

[@MusicinRochester]

Time will tell if the new hitch will stay together. It might be that grade 5 bolts should be used instead of grade 8. The grade 8 will certainly be stronger, but they will be more brittle than the grade 5. The grade 5 will have more toughness and can withstand shock better. Hopefully, the bolts are so big it won't matter either way.

[@rickharper1497]

Eric, you kinda knew something was going to give way when you put that much leverage on a fertilizer spreader??

[@1926mymy]

Grade 10 frame bolts only

[@briangustad4462]

Do you order from some supplier?
