Sprinkle Diotomaceous Earth all around your gear boxes inside and outside the bins. It’s natural and won’t hurt animals but kills all sorts of bugs. It’s super fine and it will wkor amazing.

[@rwisti11301962]

Amazing stuff!

[@TheRange7]

I think at one time I used that as the filtration medium for my pool filter, in fact I'm 99% sure that was it. Never knew that about its properties to kill bugs. Thanks

[@robinghunt]

@@TheRange7 yep, apparently this stuff has a ton of uses.

[@gragor11]

@@TheRange7 Diatomacious earth gets into the cracks in the target's exoskeletons and the fossilized silica cell walls of the diatom's exoskeletons cuts them apart as the insects move about.

[@TheRange7]

@@gragor11 Thanks for that info

[@idontwantanaccount6941]

We use dump carts for harvesting peanuts. If you do overload it you can use your pay loader to " help" lift it. You have to be careful but it will work and is way easier than a shovel.

[@ramshackleshack751]

We filled the left tire with fluid and bolted weights on the frame on the left side. We have dump carts for picking seed corn.

[@VanHeerdeFarms]

We have a dump cart for silage chopping… we had fluid in the right tires (it dumps to the left) usually the silage truck catches it but we dumped it at the end of the season without the truck and tipped it over and bent some steel… so we added 500 lbs of John Deere weights to it and don’t have that problem angmore

[@ramshackleshack751]

@@VanHeerdeFarms ours has slab weights. I don't know what they are from.

[@BrianWetzel]

I Was just going to make the same suggestion....🫡

[@TheRange7]

These Larson Farms vids are among the best of the best when it comes to really explaining how stuff around the farm works. My favorite part is the high pitched voice yelling LOL. Every time you guys do it, I laugh like it's the first time I've heard it.

[@John-re6ur]

That's Dougo is da man. Always entertaining and got a good comment for everything and always enjoy his outlooks on life.

[@fleece192]

Good stuff guys as usual. As a wannabe farmer since I helped out at my uncle Stan’s farm in packenham Ontario. I learned so much up there. How to drive a tractor, how to drive a pickup, 3 speed on the column. My pops sent me up there every summer when I was a young lad. I’m 70 now and I got to tell you, the best days of my life..

[@steveneal2706]

Great video. Thank you

[@robertwalsh7377]

I can’t stress enough to all of you how much I enjoy these videos. I live in South Jersey and spent 44 years in the printing industry and now I’m retired. I sit on my patio with a morning coffee and get entertained by you. (You are also educating me about farming). I particularly enjoy the back and forth ribbing that you give each other.😂

[@watermanone7567]

I would take the brush hog off outside of the barn, put a chain on it, and move it into the barn with the bucket. Thanks for the video.

[@carriegrosenick6426]

Another great video

[@jamesbreault5762]

Good stuff guys

[@wink9970]

Brody looks like the superintendent on a Gov't job Lil Dougo

[@geedubb2005]

He moves to fast and works too hard for that.

[@user-ur2cc7cs5j]

Thanks for sharing, Chet. As always be safe, stay well. Victor

[@1carlportl]

nice ride along

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

🤣Mini Dougo. Let's see the merch!!!!!

[@LanceDever]

Well Big Swede I bet you only use the shovel once! We have a lot of them around here for sweet corn and other crops. You also have to get real close to the truck with them. Good luck!

[@Nick-un5xr]

Rick is the next star of Larson Farms!

Or he'll go Postal ! lol!

thanks chet, have a good weekend.

[@amberlyperkins8954]

You never fail to surprise us!

[@jerryfischer3988]

Yup

[@kylemorse7465]

I miss farming but don't miss the bin smells sometimes I would have opened the top doors and turn the bin fans for a little while and aired it out a little lol

[@waterskiingfool]

Can't wait to see big Sweede pull that small cart in the field lol

[@jonathancranshaw985]

Yall should get one of the Milwaukee M-18 tower lights for working in those bins. Seems like it would be a lot nicer than the light sitting on the floor

[@PgP736]

❤ from Norway

[@HanleiHess]

This just made my day better!

[@DashiellParr411]

Big Swede putting his big to work with the doors!

[@carlportland]

we learn as you go

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks 👍

[@2were5678]

Malathion for the win!

[@johnaeschlimann2612]

Treat the inside of the empty bin with Malathion. It will help prevent insect infestations in the bin and under the floor. It is labeled for use in bins.

[@joshwagner5414]

Should check out the amity dump carts. I think you guys would like em

[@davidkimmel5153]

Great fixing videos.

[@russellschrock9552]

"Bugs man, really?!" Reminds me of Indiana Jones, "Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?!" :)

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@carlportland]

nice ride along - better then most. thank you

[@arthenry498]

DANG!! I was hoping to see that sweep sweeping and that auger auging!!

[@ryanyochum5965]

For the cart a oxbo 3524 would be amazing. It’ll lift 30k lbs like it’s nothing

[@section8outdoors]

3:42 Chet, that's the new Bluetooth Blade option on the batwing mower! 😂😂

[@jerryfischer3988]

Another great episode with the boys

[@codygreenwood1014]

Do a shop and tool box tour

[@littleshopintheshed]

Dougo, I hope you stopped at Sandy’s Donuts in Fargo

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Those combines can adjust the Limits of how much the grain bin % is so don’t Worry!

[@MichaelPrasuhn]

@8:00 I've never seen ya'll go around and oil your sliding door tracks, might make opening those doors alot easier

[@MB93WP]

We have oxbow dump carts for seed corn picking they have weights on the front and back on the left side so cart doesn’t tip and I seen you don’t have extensions on the dump side of cart so you don’t have to be to close to the truck we dump 22500-25000 lbs on front and back of trucks

[@tomrogers323]

Great learning video!

[@Grainexpress]

Chet, you don’t know gross until you’ve worked in the hog barns. 😂 Talk to Doug about the meaning of gross. Oh the stories… 😉

[@juanitakauffman6336]

Success.

[@rickdekard218]

Chet you are quite the mechanic,and Brody too .

[@jeffcrivelli2906]

I know you like to dump on the go but if you are that concerned with auger damage, why not put a truck at each end and just dump directly into it? We used dump carts like that to open our lands when harvesting processing tomatoes. Put some wheel weights or front weights from a tractor on the off side and that will help a lot.

[@frankcherry3810]

Missing Tools- Who remembers the Missing Crow-Bar? Haha!

[@Yourgowindown]

Was just rewatching old harvest vids, is that dump trailer the same one from 2 years ago? lol Dougo said it was for sale and was never used….till now I guess lol

[@WaylenScofield]

we just now are sweeping our bins withe brooms

[@brianwilton8555]

great video

Good video good to see y'all

[@kat2641]

lol Monday morning is a good time to put the tools away 😂😂😂

[@kc9oev1]

Need some weathertechs in the unit

[@BruceBergman]

Some states you can not wear a headset with full ear covers because of Sirens and official vehicles, 3:57

[@qzetu]

I never understood why you guys don't have a mobile tool Tote or tool bag with all the jobs you do away from the main building. I'd definitely invest in something. That way you don't have to pull from the tool boxes.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chet Dougo Eric Broodie Rick that was great thank you get on them gear boxes

[@calebgalbreath0198]

What was Dougo thinking leaving 3 kids to run the farm😂😂😂😂

[@LouJustlou]

I've used peppermint oil to handle bugs like this. Your ethanol will also smell like peppermint schnapps....😊

[@JohnDeere-jw7jf]

Love it

[@mikeyd5969]

Merlin needs some chickens running around the bin site eating those bugs .

[@jasonbarnes4488]

need to spray tempo in and around the bins for the bugs.

[@admranger]

somewhere near Fargo there's a quad trac up on blocks.

[@flatheadV8]

🤔

So if you want to know where the protein in your corn flakes come from, it’s old ancient Chinese secret. Beetles!

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Chet. Hmmmm mini DougO', poor Brody. Guess there's worse things to be called. LOL 🚜🚜🚜

[@Krieghandt]

I will deal with bugs 5 times before cleaning out a dead possum or raccoon.

[@89Built]

Mini Dougo 😂 You need some shirts!

[@raymooney6506]

Gee u have to move the mower out to get to the saddle tanks Since it broke park it at dougos for yard art

[@FalconXE302]

Should have labelled the video... "Brids, Bugs but no Bats".... LoL...

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Chet, lots of jobs going on. Different type jobs I would say. A. You got the bat wing mower put away ok out of the weather until you decide to fix it or replace it. Since the new gear box is so expensive, how about a new one or possibly finding a good used one to use. Just some suggestions. Zach Johnson was able to find a decent used one. Was in good shape. B. The black bean dump cart. That will take some getting used to. Dumps over the side. Has no augers. I can imagine that the hopper is kind of tipping once raised up. Be careful with that cart. Knowing all of you , you will be safe when using it. Looking forward to seeing it in action. C. The grain bin gear box with tons of bugs and bad smells. Oh my. Hang in there Brodie and Chet!!!!! Lots of re-fitting to do I guess to make the new gear case fit. Lots of bugs 🐛 also they were not helping. Don’t think Chet liked the bugs. Sounds like they got it fixed and working-yeah!!!!!!!’ Dougo had a road trip to get new tracks for a tractor???? Don’t know for sure as I didn’t hear them say what they were for except they were expensive. Had three checkbook along. Busy day for all of them. Oh my. Guess that is it unless I missed something. You all take care and be safe. Harvest season will start soon. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍✅🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@BruceBergman]

Aim a Big Fan into the doorway of the bin. Keeps the temperature in control. 15:59

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Think Chet Why take up Valuable Shed Space for a Piece of Junk that won’t hurt to get Wet? Think With the Right Head!

[@jeffheins6624]

At least it wasnt floor replacement time😊

[@claudestewart5465]

I'd be glad it's not snakes.

[@gailp9432]

That shed door needs a little maintenance if Erik has to struggle. Just saying. 😅

[@glennspreeman1634]

How long until the old tin shed is removed from the middle of the yard? The 70 diesel can live somewhere else.

[@kendallwilliamson8193]

There is a bolt that sticks up at 16:28 in the bottom of the screen. Will it allow the rotation of the sweep? Just checking while the bin is empty.

[@dougberry1011]

Get the shop vac out to clean up the bugs.

[@jameseagleeye6546]

eBay sells those gear boxes for your bush hog.

[@delbutler885]

Where's the skid vac

[@tomh6673]

Here is a question why don’t upgrade the hydraulic cylinder to a bigger and stronger cylinder to lift a much heavier load ?

[@grantprankerd3269]

When cleaning the bins/silos, do you fumigate to eliminate any of the bugs that may be present?

[@kelvinmayer7551]

As much as those bins cost they could put in lights on the inside. Flash lights OH MY

[@Ham68229]

Put anti sieze on those shafts. Will make your life easier for the next time you end up working on those augers. And yes, you will be back in there again and again. These are "wear" parts and the more you use them, the faster you'll be doing this again unfortunately

[@Kevytc]

Hans bring the flamethrower ! Lol

[@BruceBergman]

And if you know NOT to overfill it the offender will have to shovel it out. And get to replace the seals on the dump cylinders. 14:26

[@willgallatin2802]

6:13 Thanks for trying, Brody.

[@larryhager7109]

How are the acoustics in there? Was the dreaded F bomb said at all. Was there any flying wrenches?

[@davidnok2002]

ground beetles

My dearest Chet when you turn 50 years old something will happen to your body not so much the mind so let papa pull his finger all he wants while he’s driving around💨💨💨💨

That’s a Bluetooth batwing mower now guys- send er!
