TRACTOR DOWN! BIG BUD Time??

[@52JMD]

Scott, your progress with your arm is fantastic, and your words are right on point. I had a reverse shoulder replacement on Nov. 10 last year and I remember sitting at my desk watching "Welker Farms" with my arm strapped to my chest and going No! No! NO!! when I saw about your injury. Congratulations on your recovery so far, you know that a huge part of how well we recover is our attitude and how much effort you put into your physical therapy. Keep on doing. Life is good, thank you all for sharing with us.

[@dennisbrandt9389]

I thank God for a family like yours!To publicly acknowledge your faith is fantastic! Always push forward and have faith, give it all you got! Yup, God will bless us! Born and raised on a farm in NW Minnesota, it was green though. OTR Truck driver for roughly 2.25 million miles and no accidents or tickets. Would love to drive your International! Also would love to meet your family and operate some of your equipment! My prayers for good planting conditions etc. May God Bless you all!

[@patrickbachman2184]

That sound you heard that brought goosebumps....it's called the sound of FREEDOM!...hope you get a flight!

[@properfunny]

I remember all the issues with filter that the actor that plays the Mn Millennial Farmer had with his sprayer.

[@boerbrabant]

Happy 6 month's anniversary LegArms. But serieously happy that you still have a function arm ,and the Bud is still in one piece.

[@collincastille5026]

11:13 it has already been 6 months. Dang that went by fast

[@DJurre358]

Sure did!

[@graemed8792]

my late grandfather was an aero engine machanic for the canadian air force in the 50's, he was baby sittiing me when i was 6 or 7 (2008iwh) and a plane flew overhead and imediatly his face was pressed up against the window trying to see it saying "i recognize those merlin engines anywhere!" thankyou for reminding me of that memory :)

[@kkduncanson]

Scott Welker - philosopher extraordinaire! God bless and good luck Welker Family!

[@EtzEchad]

I was thinking the same thing. It apparently is a family trait.

[@mindless7788]

Maybe its walking in his fathers footsteps for puns, Scott just does philosophy instead.

[@patrickbachman2184]

You nailed it...words to live by!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

It's great that a young man has spontaneous thoughts and feelings. He isn't afraid to speak them out loud. That's why it's so important that we never let others tells us what to say or how to say it. It is your right to share your feelings. Good for Scott. He is helping a lot of people. God bless America.

[@creatorwords4113]

What a blessing...6 months...thank you Scott for the update on your arm...and giving glory to God. Welker men, you are encouragers...thank you. I look forward to each well done video.

[@daniel_poore]

ALSO - Iam super stoked for the series 1 to get its day in the shop. You mentioned how much work your farm has already done to it over the years, but it needs the "new style" Welker Farms treatment. like the others. Your more modern day retrofits and rebuilds are all so good, and I just know this series 1 will be updated to look classic, but with a more "modern factory fresh" touch.

[@BjarneRousing]

Confidence.... You say. I work at a heavy duty truck and hydraulic shop. Then my boss at come with a customer with a new and unique problem/task on a truck, crane or anything else. Then he ask me, "Are we up to solve that problem?" Then I tell him "That I never have tried before, so yes I can do it." Some customers looks very confused at me and some smile and then say, "someone has also read Pippi Longstocking aloud to you as a child". Because it is quote from one of the her stories and a good one have on your mind through you life. Keep up the good work guys and all the best to you from little Denmark.

[@jimmclean160]

Now that is absolutely correct Scott what you're talking about your arm and the big bud you get to be aware of your surroundings at all times

[@briansmith1514]

Legarms, great attitude! Your right maybe the horrible injury helps prevent you, your brother, or father from getting something even more serious. Everything does happens for a reason.

[@daniel_poore]

Scott, you are just so positive man. I get you all probably inflate your natural inclinations ( like positivity) on camera... I think all of us would if we were doing the same type of thing ( our jobs, but on youtube) anyways that being said, Its amazing how seemingly fast you bounced back from that injury. I remember watching that episode with my jaw on the floor, and trying to imagine just how crappy that was not only for you but everyone around you that cares about you. Iam not the religious type, but man... that situation could have been so much worse. Glad its in the past now and youve gotten so much of your strength and happiness back.

[@ejharrop1416]

Thank you all at Welker Farms for your collective positive outlook and demonstrated caring nature towards others. It is what we are supposed to do, God bless.

[@garyberg]

It's good to see all the Welkers getting things done on the farm. Scott, it's good to see you doing so well after only 6 months. Nick, you'll get a ride in that plane, I'm sure. Dad, thanks for teaching your family that even when making mistakes, your still learning.

[@timmaslyn]

Love the videos guys and as Leg Arms said, stay safe! Great history lesson of Wagners and Big Buds ... pretty cool that the 435 is potentially #3. Hope tractor issues are resolved quickly guys. Prayers continue for your family and the farm. And I can't wait to watch you flying in that beautiful plane Nick!!! And love "Scott's Corner" of advice and wisdom. Keep Moving Forward Confidently.

[@gregstone1306]

Have you ever tried a small adjustable oil filter wrench on plastic fittings? Works like a charm. I'm glad you folks are off and running. Be safe.

[@ontheedgewithreg238]

Good positive attitude goes along way Glad your doing great back doing what we love

Hey Nick, I just spent a week at Sun & Fun air show in Lakeland Fl. wish you could have been here to enjoy the fly in, I know, farm first and fun when time permits. Oh well maybe another time. God bless.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for the video. Lots of variety in this one. Sorry your case IH is down. Could be a lot of things. Probably will have to come apart. Wow. Never fails when you need it. Glad you had the older big bud to pull the roller. It does the job for sure. Happy for you Scott that you got the water trailer done. Great job. No leaks. Ya!!! You will put it to good use. Weather is clearing. You all will be back to seeding. Go get em guys. You all take care. God watch over you all. Thanks for your time. Iowa farm boy from years ago.

[@rustynail2205]

Loader philosophy with Leg Arms. Being humble is a great character trait. Leg Arms, thank-you for being you.

[@gungadin6889]

Really glad you came out from that Bud drawbar accident in such good shape. Seen lots of men ruined for physical work for the rest of their lives with a serious accident like that.

[@rodchristensen644]

As somebody that grew up on a farm with farm family and now have spent working in aviation for over 40 years, I completely understand. Having worked on everything from a Farmall F-12, to old warbirds and now business jets, I can tell you that when on a tractor, you always look up and when working on aircraft, hearing an old tractor makes you take notice as well. Love your videos, keep them coming.

[@tompinnef6331]

Snow - mother nature doesn't want to relent her winter theme yet. Might snow here Tuesday - not much but still means it's cool / cold. We are always learning - never stop learning. Sometimes we do it well - other times we make mistakes which we learn from. Take care - be safe. I hope the family and you are doing well. God Bless Tom (Spin)

Scott I love your inspirational commentaries I would however like to point out that mistakes are not failures mistakes are opportunities to educate yourself and learn thank you for your thoughts

[@FergusonTO30]

Nick, I’ve been watching for nearly 3 yrs. Part of what keeps me, besides the full Welker families, is your cinematography. The image of the Air drill, American flag proudly rampant, planting an American field, moved me to tears.

I remember seeing my first big bud. Back in 2003 I seen it just out side of Shelby MT crossing over the i15 on an over pass. I was just a kid then but there is a good chance it was a Welker Bud. I was a kid then but was a big deal at the time. Lol. Safe seeding guys. We are getting close to starting in Saskatchewan. 👍

Remember Scott, life is full of challenges, taking on the ones that really matter, whether accomplishing or failing, are what makes us human. Learning from both is what helps us "grow". When we get older the challenges don't stop, they kinda get smaller in scope but bigger to accomplish. Thanks for the work you guys do and sharing with the rest of us! AMERICA!

[@trevorbacelli]

Bob every time I see snow, I find it hard to believe you actually sow wheat barley in Montana, I guess our area here in Australia we sow in mid May all being well that's if we get good Autumn rain, I never saw real snow till I went to Texas it was Cherokee Texas back in 1972 I was at the Cherokee Red Brahman Ranch, Mr Tom Dean & his wife had taken us to the Famous Harry Dept Store San Saba where you buy typical western Men,s Clothing, you know it rained all the way to San Saba , then on the way back it was snowing by next morning it had over a foot of snow on the ground, never seen any thing like, all I know it was very cold to compare where I come from, at home it was around 34c , Great video as usual Bob, you & the boys do a fantastic job, and those Big Buds, regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.Biloela Qld Australia.

Amazing how 6 months have gone by since Leg Arms mishap with the Big Bud's drawbar! You've made tremendous progress in the recovery, and still going strong, even if your right arm will never be the same again. At least you kept it on. Sure would not want to think of the renaming of Leg Arms to just Leg Arm.

[@SlipShodBob]

We are on the route between Headcorn Aerodrome and the Battle of Britain memorial near Dover so especially in the summer we often get treated to acrobatics of a Spitfire overhead there is something special about the sound of that Merlin though. After seeing slow the Dakotas fly though there had got to be something special with the pilots who flew those multiple times during Normandy as well as the glider pilots they towed back and forth.

[@bratpane1]

Sad sight to see the old reliable Magnum on the rope, but seeing that old Bud take over was pretty great. Hope you can get the 7140 going again when you have time.

[@snekkerenp8036]

Really enjoy Scott's Thotts. You need to put a Welkers Farm Stick on the Big Bud 435 and the John Deere Wheel loader. Be proud of your heritage and show it off.

Hey Scott, don't worry about all the new parts fitted to the Bud, it's still the same Bud. Look up the English sitcom Only Fools And Horses.

Story time with leg arms... love it mate! Confidence can be confused as arrogance from time to time. But if we remain thankful for what God has for us, confidence becomes a very beautiful thing..

[@gwbuilder5779]

Scott, there are 2 types of confidence. 1) The ability to take on a challenge and know that you will be able to find a solution and improve it if needed. 2) The self assurance that the skills you have learned over time will help you complete the task at hand with a positive result. These two types of confidence are very similar, but the first one requires a positive attitude while you develop confidence as you step into the challenge and the second is actually exercising the confidence you have already developed. Overcoming adversity requires an attitude that drives you to develop new confidence in spite of limitations that you might have to work through on your way to new success'. In 2012 I had a stroke at 48 years old. Many things have changed in the past 8 years, memories lost and skills relearned, but through it all God walks with me every day. All I asked of Him was to still play guitar and be able to ride a motorcycle. God answered my prayers far beyond my expectations. Many people have prayed for you on your journey, including me, and God has definitely been answering those prayers. Yes, Scott, you and your family are very blessed. I know that your recovery has been much more difficult than the videos have shown, but I also know that you are far more than the person you see in mirror. You are not just what you can do, but more importantly who you choose to be.👍😉🇺🇸 You are the strong man your wife needs you to be and a super hero to those amazing kids of yours.
