Upgrades to the Strip Tiller

Thanks to Red E Ag for helping us make some upgrades to the John Deere 2510S strip till machine with a 1910 air cart. Stainless steel was added, we installed some new wireless blockage and flow sensors, we found and replaced a rotted out gasket, and I got a new hat!

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

Thanks to Red E for everything! Check out their KZbin channel and website in the description!

[@craigwavra3495]

Will have to check out their system. I can see using that technology in another application at work. Like those flow sensors.

Is the new funnel gasket different than the original so the fertilizer won’t deteriorate it?

@@lyonfarms Our funnels are made out of stainless steel, making it no match for fertilizer corrosion.

Those guys are hard workers and great sense of humor. They did an outstanding job at the Welker's and now at MF.

[@letzrockitrite8469]

There was only 30 seconds left in the video before I realized there were 2 RED HAIR GUYS !! This tech crew is great to watch... Thanks all !

[@Bnsbeaver]

This year I took up a job in a John Deere dealership as a parts sales role after more than two decades as a farm hand, today I celebrated a whole month in my new position, whilst watching this video the first ad was my new company advertising 6m tractors.

Great informational video Zach, however with all the talk about seals, I was waiting for a joke......... That is why Walrus go to Tupperware parties, to find a tight seal. LOL

[@MillennialFarmer]

🤣🤣🤣 never heard that one before

[@duanebuck193]

Many years ago my grandfather worked for a Co-op over on the Olympic Peninsula, so it brings back memories and a smile to see the various people come out to help install new items and trouble shoot problems with you. For years we could walk into the Co-op after he passed and farmers in there would recognize us and chat with us, telling us some of the stories of the things he fixed. Good times.

[@jwedel1777]

I really want these guys to come work on my air cart. There’s nothing wrong with it, they just seem fun to hang out with!

Farming has never been just about putting a seed in the ground and watching it grow!

[@jamesmonahan1819]

I approve of all changes and modifications made in this video. I know that means a lot to everyone.

[@paulavandervliet9428]

Extremely interesting, nonfarmers would never believe the tremendous amount of knowledge that is needed to be a farmer. Technology has made made farming much more efficient. Yet you have to be knowledgeable in how everything works on your modern equipment. You just can't call the service man every time something isn't working. This is just one of many pieces of equipment that is used in a farming operation. Stay safe and healthy

[@Sc-jf3yk]

Bloomberg comes to mind

[@augustreil]

@@Sc-jf3yk, Yeah, I though farmers just stuffed a seed in a hole, add water and then you have 5000 acres of corn to pick, by hand of course ! Lol

Yep need to be a millennial to farm lol!!!!

It's like these dudes could be NASA engineers, but didn't find it challenging enough.

Oh, there's more then one way to skin a cat,and you don't have to have the latest and greatest technology to be a good farmer.

This is like a show on any paid cable channels... That impressive, that professional... Becky bug thumbs up to you on editing

[@stevenicoson6670]

Many thanks to Red E Ag for their great work on Zach ‘s planter system. You guys are great and first class setup on equipment. Thanks.

[@zrduffy3786]

Those Red E Ag guys seem like good dudes.

[@xxtothemoviesxx]

I really like the videos where Red E guys come and upgrade your equipment vs just buying something new. I think for me it’s way more intriguing watching the process of upgrading and then having a better understanding how the equipment works. Those Red E guys are amazing to watch work and how they can be a real benefit to the farmers of today. I know this won’t be great for your pocket book but these upgrade videos are awesome. MF your content is a genuine education brought to the masses. Your channel is the blueprint and gold standard of KZbin channels. Great job man thanks for the education.

[@Gavintyler21]

Every day I look forward to watching your videos. This has to be one of my favorite videos. I work at the Johndeere in Ankeny, Iowa building tillage, sprayers, and cotton machines I’m working towards an internship with a design I love seeing improvements that can be made to the equipment that just work and reduce farmers down time.

[@stumpy2816]

Mind blowing the amount of hoses and wiring on modern equipment now days. 👍👍

Pretty neat how many of these companies are staffed by farmers. Interesting to see how much of the industry is driven by the people who directly use the product.

Awesome Zach! Really great to see all tech details and major improvements on the drill. Fun to have these educated Red E Ag engineers around. Machine will work well again when seeding season restarts 👍👌🍀🌱🚜

[@michaelcarlson1528]

Awesome, this same company was on the Welker Farm KZbin channel a few weeks ago. But, there was more details about the system. Thank you for sharing!

[@billjoat]

I enjoy watching your videos and letting me take part in your life. My life as a 32 year Car dealership parts man tells me you need to invest in MANY sensors and brain computers to make sure you can make it through any day. Since the more you take away from manual controls, the more expensive the repairs and frustrations it will be.

[@snickrologen]

Nice chores over the winter, now everything is greased up and ready for the spring!

[@tommil7574]

First I avoided this video for a bit but it turned out to be one of the most interesting videos on the channel. Good job.

Similar to Nick, Scott and Roberts recent upgrade. Defo the year of the drills. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@MDBenson]

This kinda techie engineering stuff fascinates me as much as the farming itself. The levels of technology and innovation that go into these kinds of machines now is mind blowing. Those guys really know their stuff and look like they do great products, they even bought you some you didn’t ask for... ;)

[@ianfarquharson3772]

Nice upgrades on the seeder.I thought those bump caps were a stupid idea,until I started wearing them. Then I realised how much better than a hard hat it was. Especially as I installed ceilings so nothing should be falling on my head. Well nothing that a hard hat or bump cap would save me from😂😅😆😋ThankQ.TkEZ>UK

Ahhh Stainless. My favorite steel. I think every welders favorite. It’s why I say delorian cars were way ahead of their time. I guarantee if someone made a stainless steel truck today it would be sold as fast as they could make them

[@curtanderson8655]

Great video. I didn't understand everything but I'm not a farmer either, still enjoyed watching people work that knows what they are doing and how to get the job done. I always heard it was duck tape and bailing wire would fix anything. It's does not matter how much it will cost you up front because if you put on at a variable rate it will save you money on your fertilizer bill at the end of the year and for years to come. Have a great day

[@alhehn2101]

Pretty crazy !! I planted corn by broadcasting some N and planting 4 row dry fertilizer... This precision ag is really awesome.. wish I was 20 years younger and still farming !!
