'Pure panic when you've got a corn stalk crammed up your tube' uuuuuhmmm exsqueeze me?! Do what?!😂😂

[@knlstam]

Dougo: "Friday night, time to go home" as he grabs for the fridge handle 🥳😄

[@bighouse1283]

Dougo I'm SO GLAD you got over not wanting to be on camera back in the day! Dougo + anyone else= laughter and learning to be had!

[@rkspdx]

The effort you make to produce these videos is worth it. What is really good is your crew is not bothered by the camera-and remains as real as can be. Thanks for your work!

[@ridingwithairbubble1694]

Chet ain’t wrong…I’m remodeling my house and the master bedroom is in the guest room, the new flooring in boxes is in the dining room, the master bathroom is in the dumpster (the main job now), my tools are in the attic, crawlspace, dining room, and the master bedroom. At least I know the clean clothes are in the laundry room (and dryer), AND my kitchen is clear, can’t block access to the food, hehe. Oh, and dust is everywhere! Somehow I still find time for KZbin 😁

[@richos2591]

good snorey, zzzzzzz

[@chrisferall5709]

Clean up all the shafts and then put anti-seize them before you put it back together and you won't have any problems again if you have to take it apart again

[@moosetallone2]

Tell DougO they sell wire connector disconnect pliers for those tabs

[@edschmidtfishing]

The ole struggle bus was hitting on all cylinders!!!

[@PughFarms]

They do make pliers that release those electrical plugs.

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Congratulation Mr.& Mrs. Brody on new baby coming soon in April . Yea it’s cheaper by bulks of chemicals , and sometimes have left over chemicals.

[@joshlight8503]

Snapon makes a plier for electrical connections you might want to take a look at

[@NewfieLifestyle]

Never-ending repairs when running a farm

[@paulpence8895]

Nothing better than a Larson struggle bus video!!! Best if its Douggo!!! hahahaha!!! Farmed in the 70-90's... bro the tech in those planters is just insane!!!!

[@levihillsman7843]

You need them pliers. They work awesome on electrical connectors especially when there full of dirt

[@dogcreek8547]

Notice how Dougo gets that phone to ring at the right time, Nice!

[@michaeltablet8577]

Working with one hand holding a camera in the other and the video quality is still excellent! God bless you all and keep you safe!

[@theburnhams2925]

Yes, it IS amazing what a "one-armed" farmer can accomplish these daze, ain't it?

[@roytempleton9320]

Chet, there is a debris shield kit available from deere to prevent the stalks from getting into the brush. Also, at the end of the season, remove the brushes from the cartridge and then lay them flat in a tote. Also, remove the bowls from the meter to prevent them from staying in one spot. Hopefully, your dealer did the downforce sensor pip and the downforce solenoid pip to it.

[@jodyesch5836]

Congratulations Brody on the new baby that is coming. Chet where was Erik to do the heavy lifting with the bin site breakdown.

[@2chipped]

The right tools make a huge difference! Hey Chet did you know Milwaukee now makes a cordless hydraulic pump!

[@calebgalbreath0198]

Keep up the great work Chet

[@dogcreek8547]

Brodie is the Detailer In Chief.

[@jsatre5504]

You'll love the JD high spd setup. Less plastic gears and much bigger electric drive motors compared to precision. Also I think the brush belt holds the seed better for higher speeds than the rubber belt that precision uses.

[@rogerfrank1256]

Your right about the port-a-power. Bought one years ago and saves a lot of time and frustration. Very handy tool for a farm.

[@davidillich7014]

used one in the fire dept back in the 80's

[@jimpolk]

That would be like the second or third item to buy on a farm. Indispensable

[@jandyg]

Congratulations Brodie and Ms. Brodie on the coming baby Brodie.

[@chrishann5714]

We remodeled our house with a D6 high track and started over

[@johnthompson982]

Always interesting always a joy to watch When you hear Chet say junk you know theirs a big repaired job Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮

[@anntomecklebarger3599]

I believe it's Carlisle Tools that make a electric connector pliers.

[@Freeprawn]

Aww, we all miss Chris 😢

[@zcole6612]

Can't wait to see Dougo running his new planter

[@hankhazen]

Add some hydraulic cylinders to your porta power collection you will find uses for them all over the farm.

[@tdiron5277]

Poor Dougo, it’s Larson Farm’n 🇺🇸 and Dougo’s driv’n the struggle bus 😎

[@timnichols9015]

That’s a lot of AMS to mix….

[@randycharest4507]

Enjoyed watching the video CHET AND DOUGO and BRODIE 😊

[@johnwalsh4271]

Porta-power for the win on heavy construction jobs too! 👍

[@PitterPat123]

StRuGgLe 🚌 is BACK‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ But never fear-Dougo & The Dream Team is here!!! GREAT VIDEO!! Missed Toby 🐶❤‼️

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Chet. It was interesting. Sorry about your bin auger coming apart. You all got it apart so you can repair it. Or figure out what to do with the current auger system. Little Bob was a big help here. Let’s us know how it goes on fixing it. Your new used planter is getting new parts and a cleaning and lots of adjustments. You all are doing great with it. Getting it ready for spring. About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. Thanks for everything Chet. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@jmit5650]

That new planter looks like the one Millennial farmer had a great deal of problems with last planting season. Good luck.

[@roytempleton9320]

It was just a down force sensor issue where the connections weren't staying together. The sensors have since been changed out on those to a newer improved connector.

[@tylersheldon4270]

Push in on those connectors first to take pressure off of lock then a small pair of knipex channel locks work great those slip joint knipex Chet has would probly work good too

[@adamthomann9454]

Shallow your depth T handle as shallow as it can go and the brushes will come out and go in much easier. It gets the weigh bar away from the brush.

[@lstone.09]

You guys handled all that like it was a cake walk 😂. Awesome video guys. Stay safe and keep warm. 🚜🚜🚜

[@briannelson6173]

Yep those seed belt tubes should be removed every year and detentioned.

[@Thomas-qc8bu]

Struggle bus continues Don't forget the hydraulic stabilizer on the new one. Great video again like always

[@markpeterson6836]

Jersey Discount Tool sells a pliers for those electric connectors.

[@kevink4914]

By the looks of things you may want to keep the other pig barn. Convert it into more pull in storage. As we see thunder and play toys made it into chemical building 🤷🏻‍♂️😉😂 Use the current one for chemicals and make the other for seed. There is plenty of real estate there to put a loading dock in. Not sure if there is fertilizer in chemical storage. But that and thunder full of diesel in same building bad idea for sure.

[@MurrayLougheed]

Now it’s a good Thursday night!!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Another wonderful day The great thing it was not raining or wet snow with 10 inches of snow on the ground and windy

[@danielmercker7369]

I dont want to know but it scares me to think of just how much you spend just on chemicals for your farm. Be safe have a great day

[@burtbrooks7731]

Never good when ya ram a corn cob up ur tube chet😂😂😂😂😂

[@sallydunbar1683]

Struggle bus was in overdrive! Thanks for another interesting video Chet!

[@oldtireman4665]

You have to know this stuff, Chet! They told you it was going to be on the test! Why can’t I shake this premonition that the new planter is going to be the cause of much aggravation this planting season and probably a few working words? Good luck gents.

[@peteparker7396]

Two things to keep an eye on with that new DB. One is the lug-nuts and spacers on the carriage wheels. And two, the most important part is the frame under the bulk tanks. I had problems with both and Deere has had my planter trying to figure out how to fix it for 6 months. It’s a year old planter.

[@kevindircksen181]

I believe Andy @ATrippyfarmer had a video out about this. He had the same problem with the undercarriage on his new planter.

[@NormSimpson-iw5jr]

Very few people know or understand what you do..Farming is the most satisfying thing I have ever done. California cost me my Farm. I miss is so much farming so much.

[@matthewfitzpatrick503]

Them Porter Powers we had them on the fire department back in the day, there a great tool!

[@h2recoveryteam2]

Brody. I am with ya on the non-straight rows. My old boss used to say. You can plant more on a crocked row as long as it is no more than 6 inches out.

[@BobP-yf6qe]

Always enjoy watching you guys and get a laugh along the way!

[@Sc-jf3yk]

You can get a metal unloading ramp for semi trailers. They are actually pretty cheap compared to a concrete one. Chet you would be able to do what you want, unload by the shed with the lift out of the mud

[@joenissan]

I’ve never seen a group of guys work and get along so well together.

[@SctyGrpPowers]

I am amazed at how you can keep all the half finished tasks in your brain and not forget any of them. Must be a super power.

[@papatbj]

Keep up the great work Chet! Videos are always on point and staying true to the brand you created.

[@Sofia_Princesse_magnifique]

Dedication and down-to-earth approach make you a favorite. Congrats!

[@BMoney-tnts]

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

[@danfinley3690]

That was a good bus tour 😂 thanks for another cool video

[@garymemetoo2238]

Porta-powers for the win. Absolutely. Used them around the shop and in the field. Hand pumps with long hoses, short hoses, a variety of attachments for all kinds of purposes and - my favorite - a couple that came with electrically driven pumps. If used wisely, a great time and work saver.

[@MidwestFarmToys]

Pretty dangerous if you're on the "dull" end and put way too much force into something though 😂

[@wayner806]

Thanks for the video!

[@jaygregory5511]

When I was in the Navy, 50 years ago, I work on BIG guns. We had port-a-powers. You are right, they are wonderful

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHÈT 😊

[@dmorgan28]

Wow you guys really had a of it in that struggle bus. Cool video 👍❤️

[@steveneal2706]

awesome video. thank you guys

[@Gary_and_Linda]

Some people think farmers don’t work in the winter. Wrong!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The banter is funny as it gets. Great video.

[@bradw3313]

Look at Dougo climb….good working video and really like the old fridge at end. It’s amazing to see all the detailed adjustments needed. All y’all could teach some mechanical engineering courses!

[@2ToneWalt]

We've got the BRAIN TRUST adjusting the planter. 🤣

[@YouBetchaDad]

Yes!!!

[@joshuanicholsjr5327]

watching you guys take apart a piece of equipment and put it back together after repairing it and cleaning it is amazing only to think how much money you save doing all that yourself great stuff good job, Doug you instilled greatness in your son and he passes it all to your help who really care about the jobs they do for you keep up the good work thank you for sharing all that with us be safe God bless

[@lanewelch3333]

Add planter lights on the planters

[@tomberry9940]

Another great video. I’m not a farmer, but enjoy watching and learning what you guys do. Don’t know what the difference is between the NT and DB model planters are, but was told one time that guy in Jefferson, IA named Bauer had developed some after market product for John Deere planters. Deere liked whatever it was and bought his patent from him. As part of the deal the guy wanted his name on the planters that used his design. They agreed to the DB model.

[@kennyb3659]

Really nice to meet you fellas at the farm show keep making great videos 👍👏✌️

[@chrishann5714]

Ports power definitely a must and anti seize the crap out of those stub shafts

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@brianwilton8555]

great video

[@carriegrosenick6426]

Thanks for another great video Chet! Congratulations Brodie and Ms. Brodie on the upcoming baby in April.

[@radoliz2]

I would love to spend a week watching them.

[@stevehx2008]

You guys need one of those stand on mini skid steers that bobcat has! Think it’s a MT100

[@kendrickcooper3889]

Douge lisle makes electrical disconnect pliers

[@craiggilbert7197]

Great video!

[@joesphbest3120]

Why I like your show, you are very imformdove

[@jeffsmulcer8904]

Love the video chet

[@JohnDeere-jw7jf]

Love it

[@denault3985]

A common phrase used in Minnesota & South Dakota..." it is what it is" used by Dougo, Chet, Cole (Sonne Farms) and Andrea ( That Fit Agvocate farmer) in the last week. We never use phrases like that in Southern California.

[@jerodengblom4331]

Dougo might need a thimble

[@briancasey4917]

When I was trucking and hauling farm machinery some of the farms and most dealers had outdoor loading docks that are a retaining wall at grade level with an earthen or even concrete ramp built up behind it. They usually were at 48" and 36" heights next to each other to accommodate different deck height trailers. If you dig a depression at grade for a dock you have to worry about drainage whereas building on top of grade, no water problems. From what I've seen you have all the equipment to build earthen dock. Recommend bolting a 6x6 to retaining wall for shock absorption when trailers bump the retaining wall.

[@dougreynolds6805]

Love watching the videos glad you got a little moisture, not fun calving in the mud but green grass is around the corner. We’re dry in north east Wyoming, had two grass fires today.

[@mikebougher3731]

Lisle makes an electrical connector pliers so Dougo doesn't have to hurt his delicate fingers.

[@aaronb4286]

400,000 subs! Come on!

[@jimpolk]

Congrats Brody & Bride. I know you were using what you had on hand to make that auger path work but i would try to reconceive it to keep it flatter. Maybe. Just a suggestion.

[@rudywernimont3289]

Try to keep the bowl and bush unit with the same rows. Mark the bush unit that it came out of. You can run each row just like a test stand.

[@scottkaercher1733]

My brother does remodeling and he's really good.

[@Carlbritt]

6:10... lol Love watching..

[@danshields3654]

If you are going to buy one of those port a powers for little extra money go with the 10 ton not the 4 ton. Have done the home reno big or small neither is any fun if you try to live in the house during the reno.

[@ronwoodford8527]

I’m thinking that the struggle bus came out of nowhere and hit black ice …. 😂

[@Racing1954]

To me, this is one of your best content vid you have put out. Plus, think how much people would pay for a day to be on the struggle bus at Larson Farms. It would be a blast.
