Now that was cool with your Grandpa and father!!!! 😎

[@M.M435]

Worth the extra minutes of videoing. Thank you.

[@_-martin-_]

Nice to see Merlin a bit more - he is great!

[@st4183]

Chet - I don't know what you paid for that tractor but the look on Dougo's face when seeing it was priceless. 👍

[@daveswensen9627]

Three generations of good old boys! Awfully nice, remember those days.

[@jeramy2398]

Dougo wants to take the new tractor home and get some carpet farming done.

[@Papaskunks420]

That is the coolest thing i've seen Three generations need more videos of that

[@brentclarke1841]

Three generations of Larson's hashing out air compressor woes,, Solid Gold guy's, listen to grandpa,,, farm life.. Thank You Chet for your dedication, content and Brody... 👍🚜👍,, 🏝🏝🏝🏝

[@cliff4695]

Best farming content channel on all of KZbin. All the banter and explanations of how things work, plus Dougo. Thanks for all the content even through winter 👍🏻👍🏻

[@wesleyclark4777]

You need to get the planter to go on it. That do make a 24 row, 36 row, 48 and 54 row planter to

[@stone90wall]

Chet, would absolutely love a video of you, Dougo, and Merlin discussing the farm and machinery of the past!

[@jayheiman7388]

Good to hear Merlin say buy a new one. He’s the boss 😅

[@hawks2252]

He's the boss. I am sure he has seen his share of compressors and he just knew. If it was off camera maybe something like "you dumbo's are going be chasing your tail and spending time and parts on that thing forever, just get a new one".

[@shannonbailey8201]

Grandpa is always right.

[@willgaukler8979]

... respect the advise of elders ... they done that ...

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Chet. When grandpa is buying, get the biggest and best there is. 😮 Enjoy the trip. 🚜🚜🚜 🙄🫣🤔🤪

[@robertbradford7892]

Three generations right there that is cool.

[@jodyesch5836]

Love the 1/64th tractor now you need the planter to match. Also like Grandpa's idea of compressor upgrade.

[@peterkulick1407]

Very nice to see all three together,, very nice ,,

[@mikegarrett9103]

Screw compressors are quiet & very efficient. Also very expensive. They can be rebuilt & are as good as new. I've seen 20+ year old ones.

[@thadsmith2889]

I’ve worked on some 45+ y/o screw compressors, they don’t make like those beasts anymore.

[@paulteirney3587]

Just replaced a Piston pump to a Screw Compressor for a friend's company and they say it the best think the have done so quiet and more economy. It was cheaper to replace it that to repair the pump and motor.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Only problem with screw compressors is they need to run all the time or it builds up moisture and destroys it. Piston style are better for intermittent use.

[@redmondjp]

@@Sicktrickintuner Exactly - for their use, they do not want a screw type as it doesn't need to run that much. An industrial 2-stage 5 or 7.5HP twin-cylinder compressor made by Quincy, Champion, or Saylor-Beall. That will give them higher pressure than the single-stage that they have now.

[@markvanleeuwen4755]

​@@Sicktrickintuner yes sir, that is correct 👍

[@jeff04pred]

The tractor looks great in the shop! Glad you guys like it. Thanks again Chet!

[@andyadelmann3158]

Three generations! Is there anything better 🇺🇸

[@danfinley3690]

Always awesome to see the generations of farmers yea I like how grandpa just says get a new one haha he after all knows best

[@johnhaswell8183]

I love seeing Grandpa on there Chet !

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job working on the corn planter Chet and Brody

[@ryanbachman9227]

That’s great your grandpa comes out to the to check on you guys. Have a great vacation

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi ! Very sweet ! Three generations of Larson's!! Nice to see ! Take care ! Have fun in Mexico !!! Don't drink the water !! Deborah 🇨🇦

[@colorado1088]

Don't drink the water...don't use ice cubes...don't eat salads where they wash the lettuce in water..don't brush your tooth with water.

[@jamesdahlman85]

For air compressors, if you want a piston type go with Quincy. And if you want a screw type go with Kaiser.

[@rodneyhammarlund628]

Recommended a 325 with oil filter 5 hp . Best their is will be there 30 years easy !

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Screw compressors don’t like to stop and start. Intermittent is better for that as screws like to run 100% or nothing

[@thadsmith2889]

With lower horsepower machines like they would use 5 hp +/- they can start/ stop often. VFD frequency drive machines can start and stop as often as needed with a bit of off delay programmed in.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

@@thadsmith2889 no they cant...... the build up of moisture is what kills them, run all the time or none.... more start stop, less vane life you get.

[@genepatterson4375]

Chet, have a great vacation. You more than deserve it for all the work you put in. You make the farm successful. Most importantly, be safe!!!!

[@johnscheibel3638]

Farm toys are an addiction.... At least most the 1/64 scale are adorable 😂😂

[@flip66]

Enjoy Chet, Luv the 3 Generations working together❤❤❤💚💛💚💛💚💛🥰🥰🥰

[@kevinpolhemus]

More grandpa #1. Your new gal seems like she is awesome. Beautiful too. You deserve it. Hopefully she'll be in more vids.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

The model is awesome. Someone built an exact replica model of one of Tony’s trucks & trailer. Probably the highest compliment you can get. We love our farmers!

[@edwinhsingmaster9135]

Purchased new Champion VR5-6 230V, 5hp, 60Gal. 2 stage in 1986. Still going strong @160psi in my auto shop. Buy quality and you ktr. Note: Check the numbers on the start capacitor, and put a spare in stock. 👌

[@mikeboeckerman2481]

Chet your Grandpa stole the show! Glad to see he is warming up a little to be on the screen.

[@richardclay7574]

Chet, seeing grandpa in the videos my grandpa was born in 1902 and he and grandma farmed until 1971 loved hearing about him and his dad farming in the 20’s went to work in a factory and quit after a few years went back to farming

[@dshutts4625]

Loving seeing your father and gramps together! Enjoy Mexico 🇲🇽!

[@jimlong527]

You are one smart man Grandpa.

[@burtzorn4059]

Hope you enjoyed your vacation Chet.

[@bpc75]

Dougo sure perked up when talking to grandpa about the compressor! Dad''s buying!!!

[@wsatre5692]

Eastwood makes super quiet scroll compresser. 12.5cfm at 90psi. 100% duty cycle. Brother has one in his shop, hardly know its running.

[@mikebuffing727]

Rotary screw compressors are awesome. Most can run a 100% duty cycle at 150 psi. They are expensive like $5k+ for small commercial ones 5hp or greater

[@iansproat3621]

Have a good holiday Chet…loved that bit with Grandpa and your Dad 👍👍

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

I just love watching your videos. What a great family you guys have.

[@billpotmesil]

Dougo looked so tickled with the toy tractor!

[@mcdermottmark2007]

Love the vids keep them up love the effort put into them

[@phil-bay-of-plenty-nz]

screw type compressors cost more but are cheaper to run in the longterm as they are more energy efficient and quieter!

[@johnperkins630]

screw type compressors are fantastic. They can handle more cfm and are easy to maintain. Worked in a shop that had one. Its also much quieter and faster to come to pressure. We were able to run 250 psi on it.

[@willyfindlay4398]

Great to see your Granddad on your Channel. Enjoy Mexico.😊

[@edp9743]

Screw compressor $$$$$, ment for large volume of air and made to run 24 / 7 . Quincy makes a good product, cast iron pump with pressure feed lubrication, you need a larger tank and or your old tank in tandem for volume with the new. Chet don't drink the water!

[@johnnnny]

Have a good trip!

[@scotthawkins1538]

Love to see three generations getting along and laughing during these times when you need a compressor!!! Awesome video All

[@michaelrussell6661]

love Merlin's reply when Chet said he was off to Mexico :D :D :D :D And Dougo with that tractor, like a kid getting his 1st TONKA TOY.

[@johnclarkkitner9556]

Nice seeing all three of you together

[@danielvoorhees9507]

44 with an 87 year old grandfather. Listen to everything young man. He has things nobody else does

[@hawks2252]

I hear ya. My gramps, same age 87, calls me a pansy as he grabs a cinder block with each hand. forearms the size of popeye's. "hey gramps why don't we use the tractor" and then the wisdom flows.

[@annajamieson4969]

Enjoy your vacation, Chet. Sun, sand, and great views of all types. Whoo eee! Don't forget to come home.

[@Jopenshaw2026]

Amazing addition chet!

[@rickmarin1265]

screws are fantastic , I have 5 in my body shop in MA ..no noise lol

[@The_OG_MD]

Screw type compressor is good for long consistent air pressure. We use one for running multiple air tools in a stone fab shop

[@johnwhite5897]

Merlin said but new and big. Get😮😮 on it dougo.

[@terrykline1358]

Have a safe and wonderful trip Chet, in Mexico 🇲🇽

[@stevehaken]

Safe travels Chet

[@dennislamers986]

Helical screw compressor. That model is very cool.

[@kellybenedix5173]

😊 grandfather so cool!

[@ChrisPlotz]

Screw types are good if you know how to do the maintenance on them. But a puma and you'll never be disappointed

[@bradleyfreeman2642]

Dad still listens to grandpa & that's the way it should be.

[@stevehammond7485]

That's the most we've heard from Merlin! "What? You're a ..."! Take your G-Pa with you Chet.

[@davidcolgan3268]

Been around Deere planters for 45 years. Just a couple tidbits: the original front fold planter had a very clean look with all hydraulic lines inside the hitch & frame tubes. Secondly, it’s impossible to count the number of gauge wheels designs sold over the years; even more closing wheel configurations. And nice new toy, Chet!

[@chrismarlatt6518]

Good to see your grandpa not ducking the camera 👍👍

[@jeffjohnson3091]

Grandpa is buying that's cool

[@floorpizza8074]

Have fun on your well-earned vacation, Chet!

[@TomJD]

Ingersoll, rand makes a really good compressor

[@David-xl8zf]

There's proof again, boys never grow up. Even Dougo gets a smile on his face from a toy tractor. 😂 If you need a good shop compressor call Kaeser, they've got a thing for everything. 😁

[@ronknight3826]

Three generations pretty great!!!

[@Massey2675]

Boy that air compressor clip makes me miss my grandpa or as I called him “Pa” grownup on a 150 headed beef farm we had plenty of those conversations I sure do miss the old guy

[@patrickaherne3598]

Grandpa is the best!

[@basiljarbo8888]

Another great video.Chet good work ,happy to see grandpa in the video. have a safe trip.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Chet Dougo and Brody

[@MF760]

Chet, relax and enjoy your vacation.

[@rickdavidson7951]

You need a model for Grampa,s first tractor. And the first tractor your dad bought..

[@kurtwilliams9114]

Need Norseman gauge wheel arms. You’ll love them

[@billsrq1788]

O No Dougo shrank the tractor 😅 Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@jmit5650]

Quincy air compressors are blue, if your picking by color. Very good compressors.

[@miked19831988]

Hope you and the Mrs have a good time

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Loved seeing grandpa and Dougo and Chet together. Grandpa said he was buying the air compressor. All right. We need more of grandpa on the videos. He is a really neat person. Love him when he said get a new one. Thanks to him. Chet you and jean Marie have a nice time in Mexico. You work hard and deserve a nice vacation trip. Have a nice time. Love that little model tractor just like your big one. Dougo has his eyes on it. Watch out it might disappear. Who ever made it did a super job. Thanks for getting that Chet. Looks just like Larsons planting tractor. You and Brody are really putting the time in on the corn planter. Lots of detail work for sure. Nice work you two. Should be in great shape for spring planting. Once again really enjoyed grandpa Larson being on the video. He said he would get the air compressor so just do it. Very nice man. Enjoy him. Thanks for everything to all of you. Eric must still be sick. Get well soon Eric. All for now. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@sherrysundblad8722]

I have to say I am surprised you don't have mudsmith guage wheels. They are a lifesaver in wet conditions. Everything looks great looking forward to planting videos All the best to you.

[@floorpizza8074]

16:13 Dougo: "I've heard something about a screw type compressor?" Pretty close, Mr. Dougo... they're scroll type compressors, kinda like the scroll type superchargers they use on engines. There are several advantages of scroll type compressors vs. piston type; they're worth reading up on a bit. One huge advantage is that they are *A LOT* quieter than piston types. Scroll compressors are very popular in the auto painting industry. They're are quiet and reliable. But they are a bit spendy. One thing definitely worth considering: Get an automatic drain valve on your compressor. They're available at Harbor Freight, and will do a great job of preventing rust on the inside of your tank, which is especially important in humid environments.

[@thadsmith2889]

Most common industrial air compressor type is a screw.

[@floorpizza8074]

@@thadsmith2889 Yup, but scroll type are rapidly gaining ground. Check 'em out, they're really nice. I just bought a new air compressor for my garage, and man... I wanted to invest in a scroll type *so* bad. But the wife had other ideas... something about "filling my shoe closet." I ended up with a piston type. : /

[@kevinstoner1737]

You guys are awesome! Thank you! I enjoy your videos.

[@catpartsforyou]

We need more videos with Grandpa in them!

[@ryanlavengood4569]

Buy the best and rattle can your favorite color.

[@imkwuzn]

Great video as usual. I love to see all 3 generations at once! If you’re investing in a new compressor, look at a variable speed rotary scroll. We had two at work and boy were they nice compared to the old style reciprocating piston. Much quieter and way more efficient. Enjoy your vacation in Mexico and be safe.

[@jeffreyanderson5304]

Awesome video Chet I really enjoy seeing what it takes before you get out in the field to plant and harvest

[@magnuseriksson5721]

Larson Farms! if you boys get a new compressor get a screw compressor, that is the best type to have 🙂

[@goofingoff6492]

in 1985 my ship had 3 lpacs.Low pressure air compressors...One ran all the time.One was in standby Incase the first one needed help maintaining ship board air pressure at 250 psi....that's what we called low pressure lol.The third was down for maintenance and we switched them around depending on which one needed maintenance....One day the powers said hey guys we want you to try this experimental screw type air compressor.They installed it and the other 3 never came online.That one very quiet screw type air compressor with much less moving parts basically did all the work of the other 3.At that time I wondered how long it would take for the rest of the world to find out about this genius little idea.Yep they exist.Yep they are more expensive.And yep they even build them in Minnesota.And I highly recommend them even tho I can't afford one lol.

[@garythayer9673]

Also they are called a rotary screw compressor. Quincy makes a very nice compressor

[@wayner806]

Mr Merlin’s “WHAT?” when you said I’m going to Mexico. 😂

[@CorpusChristiHouston]

Check out the Kaeser rotary compressors

[@jonjoslin5953]

Chet keep it GREEN get a SULLAIR screw compressor the same brand that your portable is. Very dependable! They are American made and made in the mid west.

[@barryschneider7913]

Be safe have fun .

[@mrfordfairmont]

love how merlin just said buy a new one and he will pay as it better to have new unit the stuff around trying to fix
