We SOLD our TRACTOR...

It was a hard decision but in the end we decided keeping the 1150 was not in our cards. The amount of money and time it would have taken to keep this tractor running is just not worth it. Harvest on the other hand is going great! Burning through acres one day at a time!

Better to have someone take the 1150 and get it running or use it to fix another machine than leave it sitting and decaying in your field. And your cinematography is still awe inspiring, just stunning camera and drone shots.

[@scruffy6151]

Bye bye 1150 Versatile😔. Good the hear about the crops doing well. God Bless you all.

[@gungadinn]

Just think Nick, with all the A380's being parked of dismantled, there's no need to purchase any more grain bins. Clear out a nice long spot and let the airlines fly the 380's in to use for grain storage. It's a win-win for all involved.

[@craigsmith8217]

The derecho victims could rent them for storage?

[@southjerseysound7340]

@krabbi that's all they were ever good for.

[@craigsmith8217]

@AgriCultur3 Wasn't thinking of running them. Just use them for the bins that were destroyed.

[@craigsmith8217]

@AgriCultur3 A380 will fly with 600 tons gross. I don't know how many bushel that would hold on the ground.

[@craigsmith8217]

@AgriCultur3 If the landing gear will hold that kind of weight, I suspect the plane would hold it. It does hold a lot of internal pressure when at altitude. At 30,000 ft the internal pressure is about 10 psi, or 1440 pounds per square foot. I think it will hold it.

[@RedBoneCoonHound47]

Wow, running electrical power is a huge project out your way. Guess we take it for granted in the suburbs.

[@tylerdustin2008]

Uh no. What they did was very very easy. In the suburbs you cant use a trencher, you've got primary voltage, secondary voltage, phone, cable, water, sewer, gas....etc. All of those have to be located and a spot hole dug by hand to verify depth and location, and the utility locators don't care if they are dead on. They normally have a 2ft margin of error on either side of their paint mark. Once all that is done we have to use a horizontal directional drill to drill to where the transformer/dip pole is located then attach the primary cable, and pull it through the bore hole that was just drilled. Which is the one they pulled of with the truck which looked like a 15kv line or 15,000v +/-. Then you do your terminating. I would very very much rather do what I do out in an open field. And if its a rocky location it takes a rock drill and that distance in hard rock could take 3-6 months.

[@gardeningpreacher]

You need to paint "WELKER" on the six grain bins (one letter on each bin)... with 8' letters...

[@Redacted00010]

They do not own those bins unfortunately, otherwise that would be awesome !

Great video guys. Since I started watching your channel again and the editing is so much better, I got my Dad to watching them also. He can't get out anymore and has to walk with a cane when he does. He really enjoys your videos. Brings back the farming memories for us. Thanks!

At 15:11 Legarms mentioned how much storage they have at that bin site. Made me think/remember about a farm for sale in western Nebraska that covers 14,000 acres and has close to 400,000 bushels of storage.

Maybe find another International 9370 truck and restore? Lot of work but awesome truck and cheap to buy. No modern emissions rubbish either! You guys must see such a difference in harvest compared to a few years ago? So much easier now its actually great fun.

[@randyloewen9234]

Don’t have a semi so I haven’t spilled wheat that way, but I’ve left the endgate open on the tandem, and forgot to close the gate on a hopper bottom.😕😕

[@nphip16]

Still waiting to see more about that light leg arms installed on the new auger. I'm curious how that works. He's mentioned it a couple times but I don't think he's ever showed it in detail. Or is it a patent pending invention he created and can't yet talk about? Love the channel by the way!!

No dust is worse than wheat dust. Beans are close, but wheat dust ruined me every time I got in a wheat bin. How about just Beaterbilt LA? Cheers Gents. God Bless.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Wheat dust is nothing. Milo dust is 10x worse. Like microscopic gravel. I knew a farmer that quit raising it because he hated it in the old days with open combine platforms and even though new combines had climate controlled cabs with great air filtration and clean cabs, he said he just couldn’t get past the memories 🙂

[@josefhe]

Why do you have too keep the grain sperate based on who is the landlord?

[@fowletm1992]

Some rent is performance based If your land is better and produces better grain the tenant has to pay more rent Also share cropping is where you dontvreally rent the land but sorta give it to the welkers They put up all the costs to plant/harvest the crop then you slit the profit at the end Lots of livestock farmers round here share crop They can break their feild from pasture for a year and get an income from cropping but don't have to invest in any cropping equipment

Since grain dust is flammable, someone should figure a way to burn it in a diesel. Some early diesels ran on coal dust.

I do not think it was Rudolf's invention, this with coal dust.

In some electric generating plants burn injected coal dust for a heat source , I would think grain dust might be a bit more volitile and hard to capture in any quantity .

I'd be putting sand in the trench first, for the cable to lay on something that definitely doesn't have any small rocks in. And... Put that 'beware cable below', tape in the bottom, below it, just in case anyone from the west Russia/east European areas, dig through. That's good, sound advice 😂. Rich UK 🥰
