Wake the FLEET｜Spring is Coming!

It's a rush to get the odds and ends finished before we enter the 2nd most busy season of the year. Now we wake up all the machinery needed for spring seeding and get all our ducks in a row so we are ready to roll when the ground is thawed and ready.

Thank you for keeping things rolling for all of us during this difficult time! You all are greatly appreciated!!! Stay safe!!

[@robpeters5204]

I love that old Ford! The Louisville is my all time favourite truck.

[@robhakeman5873]

Thankyou Welker farms for what you do to feeding America. LegArms your kids are definitely yours. Do you have your son lifting 10lb oz's lol. Nick Scott spend as much time with the kids as they grow up to fast. Love your videos and God Bless !

[@eileenerickson1875]

Really enjoy watching your videos! You are the true fabricators!! There are very few things that can slip by you that you couldn’t come up with some way to adapt and make work or the three of you can’t dream up a fix for!! It’s quite impressive to be on this side of that daily life window and observe. We can almost see those mental wheels turning!!! And to top that off, we get the fun of watching your family grow up. Well done guys!!!! 😊 MN Newbie.

[@sandersfarms3875]

It’s always good to hang out with your kids when you can life can be short but still a great life with your Family and Friends. Stay Safe and Healthy everyone!

LegArms didn’t use the red rope when he pulled out the skid loader

That's right. He'll be written up with a Letter of Reprimand in his file... again!!!!!

With the white fertilizer bins, put a marine kleet on the side so you can tie the rope off easier

[@YankumRopes]

Red ropes are cool, but green slides a super cool!!!

Thanks! Love the ropes!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Welkers

[@properfunny]

That "New Holland" skid steer had a lot of John Deere logos on the inside. 😉

[@diersirrigation]

I noticed that slipup also. NH made the 75 series previously for deere but I don't think that the 200 series is.

[@dababy2666]

it is a joke because they taped over the dear logos on the side and wrote new holland

[@ronmeier8850]

It was awesome to finally meet Scott's children! Not to be to personal but it seems like some of those cousins seem to be awfully close in age & as is the rule our cousins are always our first set of friends! Hopefully seeing they are a bit different than most literally growing up together it may last much longer than the rest of the world! All of them are truly some good looking children & like most farm raised folk smart n courteous! Thanks for sharing your family ♥️❤️

[@DTRAX33]

Great Video, Kids growing up on a farm have so much fun, you guys have your hand full with all the work and the kids. Great job thanks for letting us come along for the ride.

It will be all their birthday gifts this year, and maybe some of their Christmas gifts. Their houses are small, so I can't give much for toys, but this slide will sure get a lot of use for years!

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Nice to see things getting ready to get busy.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

I spent one winter years ago building, welding Fishing winches at a machine shop a friend owned in Maine. Once completed we steamed the project and painted with Industrial paint of the same brand. Direct with no primer and it worked well. You should have no problems with it.

[@workhardlivefree3818]

Couldn't help but notice the red rescue rope absent from the skid steer retrieval

Cool slide for the kids! Keep “LegArms” out of it! He would get stuck. Have to get stuff done before planting season Nick, never enough time right. I heard now three different online farmers use the words this week, “Sloopy, Moist, and Wet” um must be spring thaw. Scott easy on your dad!

Leg Arms pulled a Dougo!

[@gagekandt8491]

Leg arms you are my idle

[@RentalManBuch]

Besides leg arms lathe skill I’m also super impressed with how well your dad is with his camera skills. You would think he would be a bit camera shy and not want much to do with this but he’s is just phenomenal! Hope you all are doing well with this pandemic as were living in the history books right now in the book of revelations. Stay safe a god bless!

If you have an extra silverware tray they are handy to keep your bolts, nuts and washers together but separate while you assemble stuff.

Spring is right around the corner

[@TacticalTightwad]

You should add a cleat (like that found on a flagpole) to the structure to use to tie off the rope.

[@clinthochrein888]

Liked it leg arm’s confessed to eating the blue rope 🤣😂. An the new slide looks very tubular.

[@tacodoritos691]

SPRING!!!!!!!

[@MienTayTiVi]

great work

[@TheHeroPercy]

Hey Leg Arms, my neice was having the same issues with her new bike a few weeks ago. Turned out the seat needed raised cause her knees were too bent at the top of the pedal to get enough power to go up the driveway.

[@8squarefeet190]

L.A., You got some really cute kids there. Reminds me of my kids trying to learn the bike issue.... :) Looking forward to seeing the Buds in action again!

[@markyoull6744]

cant wait stay safe welkers god bless

[@WelkerFarms]

Soon!! Thanks!

[@kherter100]

Pro Tip - when you open the meridian hoppers lid pull down on the rope and slide the tied end of the rope down the square tubing to the middle of the bin and let go. It will hold the lid open and you never have to untie and retie the rope again.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Cool thanks 👍

[@ianspelman6088]

The reason the gravel is sinking is because its too small you should go for hardcore size or stone shoring its about the size of your fist and its used here in Ireland and lasts through one of the wettest climates in the world its a good job if you can get your hands on it also building rubble about the size of your boot does the trick just as well.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

We don't have access to that size

[@brodyscrivner2343]

Love how much all their stuff smokes🤣🤣🤣

[@leebob86]

The small grains after cleaning, we call them screenings. And yes, Wildhorse Seeds, in Havre MT buys the screenings. Then when the screenings bin is full, you load up the truck and take it to the feed mill in Great Falls.

[@jwwessels7254]

Love warching your videos 🚜🌾🌱. Here from South Africa and We have same planter as you guys and is currently busy prepping it for planting.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Cool. I assume winter wheat?

[@jwwessels7254]

Robert Welker Yes, also barley, canola and oats.

[@stephenbrown571]

Make sure leg arms. Knows he won’t fit in the slide. LOL 😂

[@matthewhall5571]

Acer Acres he would just flex at it like Chuck Norris and then it would explode open at the seams. 💪

[@colincostine9775]

That gravel doesn't look like it is going to give you the clean well drained surface that you are after.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

That was used for leveling an area.

[@harveystephens6115]

On cleaning seed. We had to use combine, old Allis Chamber 6’ drag to clean our grain so we could use for seed. That was our combine to harvest with also.

[@jackgrover5787]

Hahaha leg arms did say he was "so gonna use that rope" 🤣🤣

[@Purpleburple107]

When pulling the pup trailer what rope did you use because it doesn't look red😁

Talk to the railroads; Burlington Northern Santa Fe & the Montana Rail Link; they get their gravel from a pit at the east end of Homestake Pass; the Montana Rail Link cops a few cars from the BNSF for when they need some ballast.....

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

The ballast railroads use is between 2-1/2 - 3 inches in size, and I bet that would pack down nicely in the low spots you guys have.......

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

For what you guys have for low spots; I bet you could get six hoppers worth of railroad ballast & still need more; and one hopper holds about 75-100 ton worth of material.

[@chloekaftan]

i dont like enclosed slides because of the high chance of wasps building a nest inside it, you should check it at least weekly to make sure its always clear of nests. to destroy a nest, just hose it with high pressure soapy water (use carwash soap or something similarly sudsy since wasps cant fly at all with it)

[@nerdgarage]

Ahahahahahaha nice ! At 14:15 behind LegArms is the same tractor and tracked backhoe/loader Tonka (i think) toys that I played with almost have a century ago. I still have the hoe/loader, not sure about the tractor, I think I busted one of the wheels on that. I've never seen these toys ANYWHERE else since I was a kid. Nice to see them here.
