Who Needs A Crane!

[@74LAnderson]

In 500 years the crop will Teleport from the combines right into the bin. No trucks needed! Haha so cool to see you all improvise, one of the things that always impresses me about farmers the most.

[@timothyabraham2228]

I like the fact that not everything yall have is new and top of the line, used trucks, used equipment, get the job(s) done too.. spend the money where its the most good.. Bins, combines, parts, supplies, fix and repair the other stuff.. just a little more "love" on that ditch witch and you'll be set for the next trenching adventure, watching yalls videos are educational and entertaining, for us NON farmers !! GOD BLESS YOU !!

[@WelkerFarms]

We would love new but 30 bushel per acre wheat at $4.50 a bushel doesn't pay the bills. But we do get a kick out of keeping old iron running

[@beastlyapples3197]

Welker Farms why is it so cheap?

[@odfarmboy]

@@beastlyapples3197 several reasons-Oil rich countries use their funds to buy grain but oil prices have dropped and they have less money. China has not bought as much as expected. Good crops in Soviet Union and Australia provide competition. However the value of the dollar has decreased making our product less expensive to other countries which is a positive note. Basically it's supply and demand. Right now there is plenty of supply.

[@beastlyapples3197]

odfarmboy oh wow. Thank you for the great explanation.

[@iantowers6972]

Beastlyapples really mainly due to bumper harvests coming out of Russia as said before ,unreal how the prices dip when they have a good year,supply nd demand as always!!👍🏻🙈🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@brianpritt4154]

A little tip for the winch on the side by side, when dragging something run the cable under the vehicle and through a shackle on the rear hitch.

[@faceman5050]

Man I have no idea why I love watching videos of people doing what they love. It’s far better than Netflix. I can’t wait till these guys are in thier 60’s and the next gen are running things.

[@banzaii6285]

Love seeing self sufficient people. Bin crew gone, keep working on it...No crane, we'll figure it out (kinda sketchy, but it worked), Power company delay...break out the trencher. Everything keeps progressing, Farmers ain't sitting around waiting on anyone, good job !

[@danieljohnston5306]

Ok, not going to lie, Nick sitting backwards bouncing like a kids horse ride at the mall got my funny-bone.....what a joy to watch you guys.

[@WelkerFarms]

That thing bucks!

[@BWYinYang]

@@WelkerFarms Ya ready for some bull riding at the next rodeo.

[@j.t.johnston3048]

Cut a 45 degree trench across to connect the two trenches that are at right angles. It will make it easier to turn the corner with their cable.

[@piperdoug428]

I was gonna say that but figured it's probably buried already.

[@mattcarroll3469]

That ditch witch is like my Honda ride on mower need alot of love but keeps doing a great job!

[@Juust_jake]

Few tips for the flashing and unload use an impact to spin the bolts while he puts the nuts and washer on make sure you kick it in before tightening and we usually pre cut all the floor sheets outside before sending them in size of bin determines how many sheets to cut and we cut out the unload sheet before entry we've set up multiple 36/9s within 5 hours we're a fast bin crew from Manitoba hope the tips help!

[@ernestshowalter5834]

Nice job Nick and Legarms. As you know, there are many jobs on the farm that are dangerous, but we are farmers and understand that. So we look to God for our safety. I have been there! God Bless

[@tf7274]

We moved our bins with a Magnum 285 and the 3 pt hitch lifting up a touch. Kept the skid on till we reached the pad and then popped off the skid. Throw some sand on the pad...they slide around with a small tractor until you Hilti them in. Looks like a fun day.

[@charleswilson6069]

Another year or so and you will have the railroad building a short line out there as you get set for the grand opening of the Welker Grain and Seed Coop. Impressive gents,,, mighty impressive.

[@yeahboiii6640]

Hook a mini wheat header on that trencher and get the kids on it picking wheat. Perfect size for a 2 year old.😂👍👍 Looking nice guys!

[@brianoz2brn976]

Trencher = Winter workshop project - pimp it up, make it reliable :)

[@brianoz2brn976]

Change the spring operated idle wheel on the trencher to hydraulic operated piston for easy tightening and loosening of the tension ?

[@EricB42044]

The winch in our JD gator is the best thing about it. We use it everyday to move chickens with but have used it for many other projects.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

You guys are making super smart moves with the new bins! Those puppies will make your life sooo much easier, God bless

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Awesome....When you need a ditch witch work done there ain't nothing like-um....Thanks for taking the time for camera work....!

[@pseggons9512]

How do you get all the good jobs Nic........... Was the curve in the trench following the curvature of the earth......... The bin move is a classic farm solution to a job needing doing. More power to your elbow.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

yes, let's not forget about Bob's Big Bud Bin Boom! You're never really out of options! :) thanks for the video! I appreciate your sharing with us!

[@howardyounger5456]

we use to move stuff like that. except there would 5-10 of us on the back of the loader to hold the back down . so that looked real safe to me. great videos you guys make. looks like you have a lot of fun. like to see you all making the videos.

[@elijahpeters1249]

I saw on Instagram another Case IH quadtrac you guys are so blessed to have an opportunity to run that type of equipment keep up the good work Jesus loves you

[@feelthesteel5173]

Looked like he was at fast ag for a visit

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

👍🙏

[@mikeallen1453]

Things are really starting to change around the farm. Thanks for sharing the journey. Congrats on the bun space.

[@kernmw10]

I'm a simple guy.....I see Welker Farms videos and I watch.

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

Hollywood; I would suggest to talk to "Sparky"; aka your Electrician on emergency power backup for the bins for a listing of suggestions to look at for certain models that would do the job; i.e. Caterpillar 3516 gensets, Cummins QSK95's, Generac, etc.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, The Bins are looking great, The old ditch witch earned her keep and did a great job

[@kopenhagenkid]

Big bins look awesome Nick

[@tbonemc2118]

What a grand sight. You guys should be really proud of yourselves.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Great video once again. Appreciate how you use older equipment that is totally capable of getting the job done.

[@davedammitt7691]

The time, money and aggravation that you put into that Ditch Witch has more than paid for itself. When my house was being built, they wanted $8,400 to trench for utility lines, 220 feet from the road to my house. Can't even imagine what it would cost to have yours brought in.

[@jaredstivers]

This winter project, rebuilding the Trencher. Just remember it beat a shovel.

[@SimulationFarming]

I love your channel so so much I think I have watched just about everyone of your videos I started my channel because of you. 💕💕

[@wantblackwolf]

Those big old loaders are sweet had one come down from a quarry pick up a big weeping willow stump. Stump weighed so much it caused the front wheels to put permanent indentions in the driveway. They drove the same loader through 2 foot thick deep mud to move a pickup that broke it's lower ball joint. Got about 5 loads of firewood before it broke.

[@fraserpewarchuk8360]

Ran that same vintage Ditch Witch for many many years. Still sitting in the back 40. Popped the chain many times also.

[@beeroquoisnation]

Tenacity. We cannot survive without it. God Bless.

[@mindless7788]

Well the good thing about a loose chain is it's easy to get back on. x)

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

It's amazing what you guys have done to that area.

[@duke3336]

Great vid. Nice to have new bins for a great awsome farm

[@augustreil]

With the trencher after you cross the two cuts, all you need to do is just trench a 45 degree angle between the them, starting at 6ft away from where they intersect. Great video !

[@DrComstar]

You guys should make a "Small Bud" out of that Ditch Witch :D

[@nolanmaurice7923]

You are very good at filming

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Welkers

[@jessaryenterprises]

Good job guys!! Getting things perfect for years to come!!

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Getting better each day.

[@fisherh9111]

You should get a trenching attachment for the skid-steer.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

That would be awesome like a small kubota trencher 😍

[@georgetinc9578]

Glad i'm not the only one that thought of that.

[@georgetinc9578]

@My Name no it doesn't do it well the chain comes off repeatedly. The attachment for the skid steer means they have more POWER and versatility when trenching. The trencher isn't capable of articulation the way the skid steer is.

[@jALESSI1972]

Buon giorno sono Andrea Alessi non parlo inglese ma lo capisco mi piacciono molto i vostri filmati della vostra azienda agricola. Vi ho scoperto per caso e mi sono appassionato ai vostri racconti

[@terrystephens1102]

Great episode, thanks.😃👍👏👏👏

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

Should put that wire on a switch or tie it into the ignition. I bet D.W. would have the right ignition block for you for that. 1.; Laundry List of parts to fix "Mutant D.W." 2. Rebuild "M.D.W." over winter for the NEXT ditching project......

[@bigfatace777]

On the new bin, why aren't the intermediate sumps inline with the access door? I thought that is the point of them, so they can allow you to get your door open and then engage the sweep auger. However the door is way off from the sumps so I'm just scratching my head wondering why it was done that way? Awesome video and glad to see you guys have a great crop!

[@dennisolsen4507]

That bin site looks fabulous!

[@jakeschlumm1835]

Get excited when I get a notification from you guys! Love the videos.

[@JL-yl8gd]

Cool Monday night surprise

[@robertreznik9330]

On the fuel pressure issue, I have used a spring loaded check valve in reverse on a tee to bleed the pressure to the needed oz pressure.

[@henryg683]

They will be hovering then and computer signals controlled machines won’t have to leave the office/house!!good job as usual keep up the good work!!

[@BrentTully-ct8hn]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

Ya gotta be able to Improvise to get it done.

[@markwyattspencer7362]

Haha Love y'alls videos! got done with Wheat and Barley 2 weeks ago, Y'all keep it up..

[@YOLORACER]

Love the mountains in the background.

[@joshsadventures1776]

An upload on MONDAY?? Wow my day just got a whole lot better!

[@sandersfarms1844]

Love the trencher! I've been working for the company that manufactured that old thing for the last 24 years 😵

[@dalehenneke4318]

Too bad they're under new ownership

[@sashcraft51]

Fun watching all the progress and seeing how it all comes together.

[@ericjenjohnson]

Great video! So many exciting things happening!

[@INKDRAILS]

I think with how well the skid steer and wheel loader worked, they should be in line for some new paint and JOHN DEERE decals!

[@richardg4764]

Thumbs up. Nice work and progress for things to come

[@faberfarming]

looks like a hate love relation with the little trencher :P love al the projects that are happening right now cant wait to see more of your awesome footage from the air and the ground :P . Thank u welkers for your hart work and god bless u all

[@1979SFC]

Nice to see that you are wearing ear protection.. ;-)

[@thomasanderson1783]

You guys are really good people! I would love to know the truth behind these bin guys. Got a feeling there’s more than meets the eye!

[@bradlilly8603]

I love the bin moving, I seam to get involved with sketchy stuff like that.

[@nicktarr7684]

Hey Nick, i am going to lineman school next spring. I would absolutely love it if y'all were able to get footage of the co-op setting the new poles and running the primary wire. I understand you may not be able to but if you can, that would be awesome and something cool/new to see!

[@danielhiller9165]

I see the door is in the wrong place on the third bin. they should be beside the load out augur so the grain is drawn away from them to you have access to the bin while running the sweep without having to climb in from the top. you will learn the hard way on this one.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

The sweep will auger towards the door within a short time. If needed we have access port at the door for our vac

[@irenesilvers7096]

Very nice video, thank you.

[@brittblanton8342]

Awesome video guys,it’s ashame the generator didn’t work out for running the fans on the bins. Glad to see legarms was socially distancing when you were moving the bins 😂👍

[@feelthesteel5173]

I’m going to go out on a limb here the 727 bud is leaving it’s museum and heading back to Montana. Apparently it is to return farming I’m betting it’s a farm around Shelby as a loan to start with but to finish the collection long term

[@ginggur17]

That’s a cool front loader!

[@larescats9228]

Peas. Yum 😋 yum 😋

[@eb17816]

With a big enough lever Nick can lift the world.

[@austinpitts6362]

legarms i like the loader too but the big bud is so much cooler

[@MWestern-m4g]

Nutz. We need Supercon wire at ambient temps. Solve ALL (most) our power transmission problems. Then we can run DC and be 100% duty cycle!!!!!!!!!! What happen to the ceramic crap?? That was years ago.

[@davidduma7615]

Must have hurt to drive the trench thru the standing wheat crop. Plus, you were going against the grain.

[@WelkerFarms]

Oh snap!! Bob Welker would be proud 😂 👍 👌

[@oldtimeengineer26]

You just got to love old things. Looking good

[@robertquast9684]

Like we like to say works better than a shovel

[@zimmhollowfarm8414]

My uncle does direct drilling. That would be a lot nicer than losing that ditch witch. But the bat thing is we live in PA. The drill goes under ground all u need is two wholes and u can dive over it while its drilling and he also can go under roads and bodys of water.

[@powdah6927]

I wouldn’t worry about the loader moving I’d worry about the chain mostly

[@kathleenm9963]

Amazing! Great video!

[@carlthor91]

Nick, the gen couldn't do it, you overloaded it. Best wishes folks

[@stephenstone7781]

Leg arms u can run the chain trencher of the tonka skid steer

[@lelandbrendle8564]

John Deere spindle grease is great for leaking gearboxes. It is used in cotton stripper gearboxes.

[@dianajean4837]

Geeze, you guys are full of dangerous tricks !! Talk about a seperate the men from the boys moment !

[@alanstant9356]

Looks like a slow process but everything seems like that until you get something done guys. It always something on a farm and it keeps busy for the most part.

[@14Marathons]

Awesome video...you guys are amazing! Love the channel..

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Awesome location. Maybe you should name the section Emerald City because of all the bins.

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

3. Also add a shelf where a 5 gallon gas can can be put for "remote fueling''.

[@stricker-tc4vr]

We bought a 936F cat payloader last winter our first payloader on our farm and weve probably put about1000 hours on already😂😂

[@markreetz1001]

"Missed it by that much!" Maxwell Smart. Good Vid Nick.

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love From Kentucky!!!

[@tapertrain1614]

Are you going to make Montana’s largest stop sign with the skids from the bins? They are the right shape.

[@carterbowe9964]

Thats a funny Idea

[@hibiki54]

I know it's done already, but if you need to trench in the future get a trenching attachment for your Tonka skid loader

[@wssides]

Nah- put a PTO trencher on the Minni. Piece of pipe with chains bolted on, swivel on the end for a handle to control direction and depth . 20 ft pipe can go to 7-8 ft.

[@matthewheilman4572]

Progress is always awesome 😁 cant wait for the farming sim 19 update

[@harveystephens6115]

Nice job!! Enjoyed

[@pfamkuchen]

High Voltage and a transformer, sounds nice, exactly what i am doing in my city

[@tomthumb4503]

should do an overhaul on the trencher

[@Paulman50]

I know where you're coming from with that trencher, I ran a bigger one than that for 9 years. All good fun.
