Bob you seem like a really great person. You remind me of my own father. I am aware that I dont really know you but my impression of you is that you are a loving father and just a thoughtful guy.

[@mtcelticharper]

As his daughter I can testify that yes, he is! 😊

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and Scott at a farm show in California. Absolutely genuine and pleasant people who you love to have as friends and neighbors.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@mtcelticharperGlad you commented. When do we get to meet you on the channel. I think you’ve been on before. Your dad is a great man. He is just a couple of years older than me. He has taught me patience and everything is going to be ok if you have your family.

[@mtcelticharper]

@@thereissomecoolstuff ha ha, I know, I'm just not around the shop when they are filming. Maybe at harvest Dad will film me riding the combine with him. 🙂 I didn't get to ride the Buds this spring because I was recovering from surgery. I'm so glad you have been encouraged by my family! What you said is so true. I have gone through years of debilitating health issues, which is why I am living back on the farm, so my family can take care of me. It has been very, very hard. But I am so deeply thankful for my family, and thanks to their loving care I have been able to weather these hard storms of physical suffering. ❤️ Families like this are a blessing from God.

We have a saying in South Africa in Afrikaans, "n Boer Maak 'N Plan" , translated to "a Farmer Makes A Plan", meaning, there is no obstacle that cant be overcome by a farmer and they will always come up with a solution to any problem with the bare minimum of resources. Well done Welker's, love watching you do your thing.

[@redneckcoder]

It seems some in your country's government have made plans for farmers, unfortunately.

[@AndreZA979]

@@redneckcoder Sadly they did and its going downhill fast. But never count them out, they will stand their ground to the end.

@@AndreZA979 were a ways behind in the USA but people with the same ideology as there have the same objectives here. Different tactics but same goals.

[@AndreZA979]

@@redneckcoder I have lived in the USA for 26 years and now a proud citizen, I immigrated the proper way... The similarities of what happened in SA vs what I started observing in 2019/20 is strikingly similar. Almost seems like the playbook was developed at the expense of South Africa and now being implemented at our expense. The most shocking, open borders, and that is exactly what brought SA to its knees over and above the intentional political agendas.

[@redneckcoder]

@@AndreZA979 Nobody is permitted to be more successful than anyone else. The only way to achieve that is eliminate all success in any form. I would say its essentially a death cult of some sort at its roots and less political in nature.

[@donwiitala3601]

What teamwork in changing the oil pan. And the ingenuity of fixing that old mower...this is how great farming works.

[@SpongieG]

So nice seeing things fixed rather than replacing it. Shows that you truly care about what you do and how you do it. Awesome job Welker’s.

[@BrettCraft]

Good to see brothers working together.

[@Jacked97Ram]

Love ya Bob, what a joy seeing you and your boys all work together. A true blessing. Keep it witty and stay gritty 🇺🇸

[@northcanterburylogging3039]

I love that you all get involved and work together to get the job done. A father and his two boys working together to get what needs to be done for the betterment of the family and farm. I certainly miss living on the family farm working with my grandparents so much. Your dad must be so proud of his boys. God bless your family 🙌

[@landon7283]

Bob reminds me of my grandfather who was also named Bob. He was a farmer as well in central Montana. I spent so much time learning in the shop and on the farm how to fabricate or fix everything. Miss him dearly. Really enjoy the videos. Makes me miss home.

[@galensteria4790]

I love the fabrication instead of always having a new piece of equipment showing up on the farm.... awesome content....

[@farm3067]

I really like the dates being added to the clips in the video. We're 600 miles north east of you and cool to see the difference in crop staging.

[@greendeere777]

Sure do enjoy the farming and fabrication of y'alls videos Mr Welker and Crew! God Bless ya'll from SE Ga!

[@leokuettle1623]

Appreciate you putting the date in the video. It helps to know when you are doing different things around the farm.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Bob's still not afraid to get out in the shop and get it done. He is the true definition of a Montana Prairie farmer with years and years of skills under his belt. What a cool guy, nice job Bob👍

[@mathbrown9099]

Guys, working together all in one place is of great comfort and happiness to me. Thank you for the vid. God bless your farm and family. Amen.

[@charliewiethe7172]

Love how you guys take us along for the journey

I love the farm ingenuity that you Welker's have!! You Have the family that I wish mine could be!!! Great work love all the videos great work and God Bless you all!!!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Thanks DAD & SONS on the WELKER FARMS and GOD BLESS Y'ALL ❣ 👍 Old F-4 II Shoe🇺🇸

[@keithholland]

The mower deck fabrication and repair was especially interesting.

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Welkers. It was interesting and informative and entertaining. Sorry about the oil pan on your new/used motor fitting into the new/used truck chassis. But sounds like turning the oil pan around fixed the problem. Happy for you all that will fix the situation. Redoing a motor and truck usually causes adjustments here and there I guess. Nice work Scott and Nick!!!!! Hang in there. Bob your mutant mower is quite the setup. You did a fantastic job of re-doing the deck of the mower to put it back to work. Nice job of cutting and measuring and welding the new top piece of the mower deck. Looks like it is back in service again. All of the Welker family have fantastic abilities at engineering and making equipment pieces from scratch. Some of the best work I have ever seen. My compliments to all of you. !!!!!!!!! Your crops are looking great. This is the year for good crops!!!!! Blessings to all of you. The Iowa farm boy. Steve

[@larrydavidson3402]

Clever idea on cutting that circle Bob, also clever idea in using the old swather to mount the mower on.

[@Varrig]

It would probably take longer to warm up the engine than it would take to mow my lawn with that monster. Great video! Take care and God bless!

[@MrGerritStok]

All right farmer Bob. That"s a good mower again. Helen should be glad you mow the lawn smooth. The way you did cut that hole in it, wow, awesome! The boys could learn from that. They probably did"nt ask you how to place an oilpan unther a Peterbilt. They better did. 😂 Uhm, the fields were starting colour so nice green. And did i hear Nick say he"s gone spray it all brown? Tss, boys and their toys. Well, stay well and be carefull with all that heavy stuff in the shop. Watch your arms/legs. Blessings!

[@ats-3693]

Good thing that it was a relatively easy fix, years ago I had a little 4x4 SUV with the same problem, we repowered it from its original 1.8litre gasoline engine to a Nissan RD20 2litre diesel engine, it was a really tight fit one corner of the oil sump touched a frame cross member, I got the sump modified at an engineering shop and it looked fine when we installed it there seemed to be plenty of room, but it turned out that we didn't modify it quite enough and the sump touched and rubbed on the cross member when driving in certain off-road condition's, it wore or cracked a tiny little hole in the oil sump. Such a pain the engine had to be almost completely taken out to get the sump off and out.

[@steamboatwillie935]

Can't wait to see Scott. Making crop circles⭕ ⭕in the field with the new Truck!. 🚚😁

[@davebrittain9216]

That shaft on the mower looks like it has quite the wobble.

[@BrianSmith-yn2zg]

Bob it's amazing how well a little hot glue worked on that mower. 😃😃

[@andrewjones-productions]

I loved the expression of 'gluing with electrons'. 🙂

[@CaryGuyer]

Not a big oops, at least you caught it before the hood was on...... Minor details 👍👍.

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Nice to see you all working together and I love the mutant, way to keep it cutting!!

[@mikeembrey9176]

Great repair on the mower 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@danieljohnston5306]

That’s a Frankenstein of a mower. Lol

[@SirWhiteRabbit-gr5so]

Overkill? Nah.....

[@farmpro_farmer8737]

11:40 Dame i love your dad, he is soo cool👌☕️

[@markreetz1001]

Bob, "electron gluing"? Is that anything like "tacking?" It looks like a "Frankensickle" or a "Frankenscythe".

[@salmonhunter7414]

Nice free hand work on the plasm cutter .

[@user-bj7oz9mc8l]

Bob , Robert , Mr. Welker is that typically the way grass grows on your farm , in a klump or a bunch . You can help avoid " bunch grass " with a little fertilizer , being a farmer you knew that already didn't you !!!!!

[@mtcelticharper]

Fertilizer is no good without rain. Sadly, even the prairie bunch grass is getting crispy dry.

[@EJHarrop]

Life is never better when Bob and the boys are working together. God bless brotherly love,

[@chrismartin6328]

nice to see Dad still getting it done first time ever heard high energy electrons and I was a welder

[@Huntinghogs]

Mutant mower needs a bigger mower deck. 🤣

[@Sigfried033]

Not gonna lie, I was sitting there waiting for Bob to say theres a "we ain't fakin whole lotta shaking going on" when talking about the mower around 8:27. I'm really surprised he missed that opportunity.

[@user-oi6xs4yj5o]

Just wanted to wish the three of you happy Father's day. I enjoy the family values shared on the channel.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

By the way at the rail, car rebuilding center in south Omaha 40 years ago, if a uniformed, Police , Officer walked in the building, 80% of the employees ran out the back and that was the end of work for that day ha ha ha ha😂😂

[@digger5858]

Great video guys!!! Mr Weller great fix on the mower.

[@garymichalski5197]

I was wondering about the oil pan when you put it on. Be you took it out a forward axel and putting it in the new truck that is a setback axel.

[@tucobenedicto109]

That looks like the same oil pan Rick yemm had on Ice Road Truckers with grubens trucking. "Rick guns it," The annoucer said. His was fiberglass and he cracked it. Said he didn't do nothing.

[@jimmclean160]

It was good to see cobie helping you bob

[@dennislamers986]

Bob you are really talented & it's rubbing off on you boys

[@paulwho3444]

Much better than house building. Good job boys nice to see family working together.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Robert, you kept your metal fabrication skills set hidden well for years. 🙂

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Robert the thing that gets me about Farming is everything is heavy. The mower body looked like sheet metal but heavy. Godbless you and the families for doing the hard work. The only farmers I have respect for are dairy farmers that grow their own feed. They do everything you guys do, plus milk hundreds of dairy cows twice a day..lol. 10th Generation Dairy Farmer is the channel I like. He has given the Welkers a shoutout. Thanks all

[@dniboc7227]

Mutant mower, that's an understatement. Straight out of a Mad Max movie.

[@cedricbroussard8738]

That is an awesome mower. I have never seen one like that!

[@hughperkins707]

If Bob builds it’s going to be better. 👍👍

[@rickdavidson3534]

I always wanted to see a swather chassis used to plow snow. Your Mutant Mower could be a Mutant Plow as well?

[@chrislongbeard]

Nice to know that the building is good enough to hold up 6,000 pounds of Peterbilt

[@grantmagnuson4883]

I sure hope you save the hood and the cab from that other truck stick it in the shed somewhere because the Peterbilt is a Peterbilt no matter what’s underneath the hood in the cab. In reality, all trucks by brand name or strictly a hood in a cab.

Bob you and nick and leg arms are so talented as mechanics ! And such good metal fabrication ! You are so lucky you are able to save yourself so much money ! I know times are tough you have to do learn and do things to save money Some one asked me the other day that how I have learned alll the stuff I am able to do and like I told them I don’t have a money tree in back yard so if you whant something done you learn to do it buy you’re self or you don’t get it done because borrowing Money from bank isn’t the answer just my opinions god bless you and you’re family sellers
