I think you guys are awesome! I preached to youth at my church this last Wednesday. I preached on praying and seeking the face of God. I just wanted to share. a lot of times Christians have struggles and they have go through hard things and they want God to do something. we pray and ask God to do something. We ask something from him. I just want to say without preaching a sermon. don’t seek the hand of God seek his face. Don’t want the rain more than you want God. Go to God because you want to be in his presence, to know him and his ways better, and his character better. don’t seek the rain seek the face of God. I’ve been praying God supply’s you with what you need.

Thanks for another great video Welkers!!!! It was interesting and enjoyable for sure!!!! Sorry about the heat problems on the Big Brute sprayer. Would suggest keeping a very close eye on that situation. You put around five gallons of coolant in the radiator which is a lot. Maybe the radiator was low and the thermostat was opening and closing a lot. Wow. Interesting. Could be a lot of things. Don’t want to damage the motor. Watch it closely Nick!!!!!! The seeding is going real good. Getting close to the end. Now you need more moisture for the seeds. ***Sending prayers for rain your way for your precious plant seeds!!!! Busy time for all of you. Prayers for more Rain please !!!!!!!!!🙏 Doing good with you seeding. Nice to see Wiggles around helping. He sure got that tire on good with that air tank. Good job wiggles. Handy to have that extra hand. Enjoyed you, Bob, talking about Colby. So interesting how he rides with you on the tractor fender. When you are miles away from the farmstead, how nice to have him for company. And you have his dog treats along-yeah!!!!!!!! Thanks Bob for your caring soul !!!!!!!!! Nick, I hope you get the spraying done ahead of the seeding. Know you are having some frustrating breakdowns right now but hang in there. You always get it done!!!!!! God watch over you!!!!!

[@SoWhatIfI...]

I have one tractor that leaks over winter around a hose clamp on the bypass. Fine all summer but when it hits-20 it drips. I have changed the hose and clamps but still drips.

[@glennbrown1961]

On some engines the temperature sensor can actually be in air in some cases like low coolant etc. When this happens you get weird and inaccurate readings. I have seen engines destroyed that never had hot readings. Some designs are really poor when it comes to sensor placement! Happy planting and G'day from Tasmania!

[@JordanCarl-ut9zo]

You guys are the best keep doing what you are doing. You give me much inspiration

[@1striperon]

I was taught to add coolant with the engine running (water pump pumping). A hot cast iron block meeting a relatively colder coolant could crack it. At least that’s what I was told. The water pump mixes coolant, hot and cold.

[@tuberNunya]

I have seen it happen.

[@PeterDittmer]

Yes, my father told me to either let it cool down fully or shut it off and let it cool a bit. Slowly remove the radiator cap with a big rag to protect yourself from being burnt . After you have relieved the pressure, start the engine and slowly add coolant with the engine idling. Leave the radiator cap off for 15 min. While the temperature is stabilizing. Keep filling to top of radiator w engine idling. Figure out if it is a belt, thermostat, a leak, radiator cap, etc.

[@Roboticus_Prime_RC]

Love my bead blaster. Makes seating tires sooo much easier!

[@Krog12354]

On your Big Brute: There is a small vent line next to your upper radiator hose that runs from the cylinder head to the upper tank on the radiator. If the fittings on this hose become corroded/clogged or the hose becomes hard/clogged, air cannot be vented from the cooling system and an air lock can cause overheating. A suggetion would to clean/replace the fittings and/or hose. Your Big Buds may have something similar. These parts may need to be replaced once every 40 years. You may also want to add a coolant recovery bottle.🙂

[@michaeltablet8577]

I love this channel! God bless you all!

[@chrisandkristin]

coolant can't get into a cylinder from a bad head gasket unless it's got a blown a fire ring and then you're gonna end up with combustion gas in the cooling system. However, it can get in thru cavitation holes in the liners, and 855's are famous for that if you don't keep the cooling system nitrites around 1200 ppm.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Great drone footage Nick.

[@ejharrop1416]

May God bless you all with a harvest this year. Peace and love

[@brianholcomb6499]

Just remember to never stick your face above the radiator, to look into it! Once cap is removed, you should always wait at least 30sec! I saw a guy get his skin melted off his face when he removed the radiator cap on a diesel with a bad head gasket! He just stuck his head over the radiator to look into it, when it finally let the steam go! Horrible horrible thing to happen!

[@jamesyachyshen7116]

We were always taught to use a rag over top of the rad cap when you unscrew it this way the force of the pressure might be directed away

[@Ham68229]

When I was a kid, my grand dad when he was alive, he'd take old plastic 1 gallon milk jugs, cut holes in the caps, mount them to the booms on our sprayer. He used those as a wind break when spraying during windy conditions. It really helped back in the day but, that's also and "old school" trick. Nick, if you were low, those hoses would be extremely hot to the touch. I think you have a faulty sensor or a broken wire, bad connection somewhere. If you were burning it, you'd smell it. This is why it was instilled in me at a very early age, always check all fluids before turning the key on. Great video as always, cheers :) P.S. Good to see "Wiggles" back, glad he's doing much better after that snake bite he had. :)

[@rickdekard218]

Colby best farm dog on KZbin hands down,such a good boy .

[@jackamelung8705]

it appears to be following thermostat opening and closing.. i would guess failing. saw that with a thermostat that jumped out of the track and was sitting sideways in the housing. it would function correct at idle but not able to allow good water flow at full open

[@camino6431]

If you are getting a gauge or light that says that the engine is too warm, you could have a bad sensor, a bad gauge or maybe air in the cooling system. Just some quick thoughts

Need to make sure no air in system then ck all sensors then the gage more then likely it’s an air bubble into the block somewhere I e had to put a vacuum in a few to get them out

[@greatnorthernn-3154]

Not a convenient set up on the sprayer to do a daily coolant level check. Perhaps a sight glass arrangement could be utilized.

[@angryscottishmechanic848]

Something I learned one cold, dark night on a gen set, some temp guages use the coolant as a path to ground and will read high ( and prevent automatic start ) when the probe is not in coolant i.e. low level or even an air bubble possible steam. Really, it's another lesson in the old timer being cleaver.

[@carlfalt174]

Another advantage of ferrying the water and herbicide is that they have time to mix as they have travel yo the field

[@brucebiehn2123]

Check for a hot water leak. They are much harder to find as nothing gets wet. I had one on my truck and it drove me nuts. It ended up being the coolant line at the air compressor.
