that original tail gate is super cool!you farm kids have the best toys

[@johannes.f.r.]

That is just ridiculously well made. Both the door and the video.

[@robertjacobs5419]

I’d love to see a video about grass seed production and how that process works if you haven’t already made one

[@sublimewoodturner]

Our JD2355 just rolled over to 16,000 hours while wrapping bales yesterday. What a work horse of a tractor. Love the locking mechanism on the door, that's just the idea I needed! Your commitment to precision and simplicity are appreciated. Thanks for another great video.

[@rainfallprojects501]

Wow, nice! You must have taken great care of that tractor. We have some 50 year old tractors on our farm that still get used daily.

[@jrperez3088]

I'm always happy to see your fabrication videos. Its my therapy

[@billbaggins9961]

It's so relaxing watching and listening to your videos with such a calm voice over. I really enjoy the laid back methods of your processes to perform the everyday tasks you endure. Thank you from Colorado for sharing your work with all of us.

[@eliboss1080]

You take initiative so well. It’s impressive the size of projects you take on and how well they are executed! Keep up the great videos.

[@Rouverius]

Sad to hear about the cannery. In any case, the conversion looks great.

[@eatenkate]

So nice to see some farm equipment updates!

[@k.compton8995]

Nice to be able to work with your dad

[@whitter86]

Cheers from Oklahoma the world needs more people like you.

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

The video is good and tells a story...all the way to watching the truck at work. We noticed you are spending your time building on past projects. The tools, the shop, the clean spaces.....You are investing your time rather than just spending it. The video is good, the lessons are great!

[@GalleryBones]

I just love Rainfall Projects, every video is worth watching

[@_Skim_Beeble]

When it comes to farming, the difference between a busy farmer and an unemployed farmer is adaptability. Good work.

[@josephdiesing8506]

great vid, don't forget about the camper van vids! :)

[@cameronempey8350]

Wow man you put a lot of work into your videos very well done sir! I’m impressed

[@ashleywilson5312]

This video brought back so many memories of me and my dad fixing up our grain truck to haul corn and soy beans. With the roll tarp. We even broke the frame of the truck once dumping it and had the rebuild and reinforce it to handle the load. We ultimately mad a fixed door with several slide doors on the back to “ aim” into the augar for the grain silo.

[@carolewarner101]

Dang bro. You're a handy guy to have around the farm!

[@daspicsman]

Most would have purchased anew truck. Great job using what you already have and some learned skills to make what was needed. This is good old American ingenuity.

[@walrusinanus]

I never stop being amazed what kind of stuff are you able to build in a home workshop.

[@garrettf4435]

That was awesome to watch. You had a specific need, and you went and created something.

[@x_ph1l]

I'm not sure if you did, but for the latch mechanism, it is a good idea to start welding holding "levers" to the long tube starting from the end near air brake slop adjuster, and then put quarter under previous "lever" before welding next one. This way you would use the whole tube as an improvised torsion spring and both ends will be securely shut. But again, I'm sure you already thought of that. Great video, as always. Thanks!

[@phillipchambers8487]

@Rainfall Projects, this is actually one of the exact setups that Mag Drills were designed for. I've used them thousands of times for drilling new holes in Truck Frames. If you have a good Mag Drill it will stay there in a Horizontal position with no issues. The one I am currently using is the Milwaukee M18 Cordless, and I think I could actually do chin up on it in a Horizontal Position lol. It has crazy Mag holding power. Great Video!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

I loved the whole video, but the part about the magnetic field on the welding wires was really cool. In all the welding videos I have watched (lots & lots), this is the first I heard of this.

[@opendstudio7141]

Looks like some ancient glyphs or writing on one of the shots.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Nice upgrade to ur farm truck great video keep up the great work make on my friend

Great job, your thought process is amazing. I really enjoy seeing your projects from start to finish. Cheers for many more.

[@joecahill8165]

I am amazed by the diversity of your crops. It’s all corn and soy here!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

A spectacular and professional build. Nice you have the tools and ability to modify the farming. Also nice you have a great dad always willing to help when asked or needed.

[@Abrikosmanden]

Nice job!!! And that roll over tarp is really clever :)

[@davidmcduffie1398]

Good job on the rear door build, should work great for many years and is removable also. Looks like it was well thought out ahead of time ! Thank's for sharing !!!

[@brianewhiteguy]

Awesome work and great drone footage! Your videos are always a joy to watch!!

[@leol1682]

Like the video on the tailgate and mores have good day .

[@jesserecupero1082]

Thanks for being the chillest welder on KZbin 👍🏼

[@deltan9ne306]

Mag drills are ment to be used in all positions. That's why they have the safety chain attachment incase of power loss or the magnet breaks free. Use them lots of structural steel.

[@bradley3549]

This one looks to have a pretty narrow base, probably would have been a lot more stable if he rotated it 90 degrees.

[@deltan9ne306]

@@bradley3549 Most Hougens have a similar sized magnet. Some of the best mag drills money can buy in my opinion. Just gotta watch out with the larger drills, they require a minimum thickness of material to have enough meat to have the magnet work properly.

[@joelmaciaa5355]

i instantly clicked the video and liked it because i know its going to be quality, you truly have great quality videos and awesome content keep it up

[@richardcompton2555]

Dude you are one talented man. But it does help to have the kind of tool and machine selection that you have. Well done. From AZ

[@Justypower89]

Hi! I love your project and your way to make videos! I remember you struggling with the first door too open the right way 😅. And thank you for making grass seed, I’m dairy farmer in Switzerland and I’m sur that some grass seed that i use comes from overseas so thanks (would be great to see a video of making grass seed 😁). Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@dimide5180]

Thanks for sharing the Dimide 1/4 Series Clamps. I hope they continue helping out with your awesome builds!

[@davidallinson2501]

Just had a thought. All the rice trucks that run around near where I live have a small sliding door lowdown in the centre of the tail gate, about a 12/15 inches square. I imagine it is to allow dumping into an auger hopper or a smaller receiving system than opening the whole tailgate.

[@cavedude80]

you're exactly right. Good for regulating flow too if you're processing grain further.

[@minko2533]

[@jake_a_g]

Epicly cool build

[@opendstudio7141]

Nicely done and reversed engineered tailgate. It's amazing that the combine can sort out tiny grass seeds so well, but makes for some really dusty work. Almost as bad as bailing hay. 😉

[@arottsbite3222]

Great videos brother, The 2 stars of these videos were not around on this one.. Drake and tennis ball. Always funny seeing tennis ball rolling around and Drake laying in his bed.

I use those hogan mag drills all the time at work, they can be used in any position, that little ring on the back of the magnet is for a chain so you can tie it off

[@alistaircross9921]

I spy the camper van! Great video, also looking forward to a van update vid!!!

[@mikewieggers6337]

Nice retrofit Justin! There is a program for plasma cutting called TruHole Technology, it burns holes in plate so you don't get the taper from the kerf on the inside of the holes. Might be worth looking into. No more die grinding with it.

[@raycurren3639]

Love you vids. I hope this helps. I had a truck with a tarp just like that and when in covered position there was 2 ratchet straps to pull tawnt so it does get caught in wind driving down th road. Then again this was 20 yrs ago. Maybe there way better now. Good luck!

Is grass seed something you had already been doing a bit, or was it a complete change to accommodate the closing of the cannery? Great video, as always!

[@5656eric]

Sometimes your CNC machine looks alive... Hasta la vista baby...

[@mcsheesh2052]

Sometimes I wish life could give you the opportunity to stick your toe into every industrial branch for a little time. I feel like most metal workers only see a small fraction of the stuff they could do with their knowledge. I'm currently working in the ship industry making the giant diesel aggregates for cruise ships, but don't have any clue on how to repair a tractor or truck engine. I'm quit happy with my current work field but sometimes I wish I had the knowledge and opportunity to work on other stuff than just ships. Switching your branch seems like risking your whole carrier. It feels like having to start from nothing again which makes me kinda sad.

[@ArrakisMusicOfficial]

Well, perhaps you could try a bit here and there in your spare time. For example, buy an old wrecked tractor or a truck for cheap in the junkyard and see if you can repair it. I'm sure in principle the engines are somewhat similar even though the specific parts will look probably quite a bit different. Perhaps you could even offer a helping hand to someone who does truck repairs, offering your help for their knowledge. I'm sure there are ways for you to try different things, in my experience, if you're not afraid to ask, you can get to see and learn a lot of cool stuff :))

[@PurpleRust]

Love your videos! 👍👍

[@rafatrill]

Idk if that's ur personal truck but they make electric motors for tarps and to release open tailgates heck even to open the tail gate. It's all a luxury thing for the driver doesn't need to get off the truck

[@michaelovitch]

I thought you was going to use a air brake chamber to lock/unlock the tailgate....the S cam mislead me lol
