I speak for everyone, when I say that we've missed Jim!

Psh, no way. Jk, Jim rocks.

[@joelhumphreys915]

Lol sure we do miss his comments, continence, and good cheer

[@mathbrown9099]

Jim is an old school guy who hangs with a Millenial. I don’t know how he does it. Jim’s from the Viet Nam war gen. Those guys don’t parse phrase. I love the guy, don’t worry, Jim, my wife and I feel the same way you and yours do. God bless you me boyo! ❤

[@lucasshupe8108]

Speak for yourself. Jk. We missed him

[@larrydavidson3402]

So good to see Jim again. He is a great person and a big addition to this channel.

[@burtzorn4059]

Love that Jim is back. Can't get enough of him and your dad. Two great men !!!

[@bengovotski7442]

Don’t fire Jim!!!!! We love that he keeps you entertained 😂

[@robertabbott8541]

It’s hard to believe with the cost of equipment that they make money. How many ears of corn does it take to pay for a $million machine?

[@CaryGuyer]

Jim is a STAPLE to your farm operation. He is a quiet guy in the background but makes a huge statement with just his appearance 👍. Looks like a good person to have around.

[@jpeel2066]

Can remember sat on a combine with a 12 foot header. Things have sure come on since then. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

Thanks, Becky

Great video All of you especially Becky making Zach look goofy on camera 😂😂 Good to see Jim back again. All the best from England

[@jamarie1972]

Spell checked it did say good but that’s AI for you. Sorry Zach.

[@markmclinchey9062]

Hey Jim I used to work at a diesel garage and that happened daily but the best one I seen is we all went for morning break at 10am and the oldest most experienced tech left the oil nozzle in the fill hole running. Well let’s say it filled entire engine up with oil and then over spilled of course. So don’t feel bad about a little used oil on the cement it’ll clean up.

We had a saying in the naval aviation community "that it takes 30,000 screws and bolts to hold an aircraft together and 1 nut to destroy the whole thing." Lost tools and hardware can be catastrophic.

Zack. Look into a filter drain. Way less of a mess. It punctures the filter and it drains thru a hose.

Wow. Machinery/technology evolves guickly with your equipment. It always fascinates me on what it takes for product to get to market. Thanks for sharing your life with us. J.Au-en

[@gabek7010]

It’s so funny when you Josh around with Jim. I can tell he’s got a real chill demeanor.

[@randalljones137]

I am always impressed with the size of those machines. Comparing them to when I was young seventy something years ago they are giants. Would love to see them in person and be in one while in action. Wishful thinking because that time has passed me by at 81 years old. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@AT-fc6kz]

If you are serious and near sw ga you can come ride one of our 4 jd combines during bean harvest

[@actionjackson9554]

Thanks Zack ,Rebecca and crew. Amazing to learn the details of the process and be an armchair farmer...fun and educational 😅

[@JohnDavis-y4k]

My uncle was starting a new pull type combine and ran the instructions through it

Awesome stuff right there Zach! I hope you fill all your bins this year. Best harvest ever is my wish for the Johnson family 🚜🚜🚜

Hello all from Siesta Key Florida. We've finally started to cool down also. Only had 2 days of 105 ° feel like temperatures this week.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Hey Jim Don't worry about it! Better to spill the old oil than to spill the "new" oil.....

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

that black strip seems like a great way to bust more corn off the ear. they say its "softer" not soft enough

Oops I thinks a little oil is on the ground. Nice seeing the younger Man working on the corn header have fun Racing Zack

Goes right from harvest to your bank account to seeds for next year and upkeep and toys for you and your son and the rest of your familty and rinse and repeat! Very interesting vlog and thank you for sharing!

Always love seeing your BFF's from May Wes. Best of luck with harvest fellas.

That crew from Mae Wes gets around. Between the Larson's, Zach, and a few other YT farmerz...and the farm shows...it seems like they're everywhere?!?

[@kevinkrause1356]

My parents still have the farm we just raise cattle on it now, we had a Gleaner A combine that we cut wheat with years ago.. every winter we would pull out the combine from the lean- to shed and run it to get the mice and sometime a raccoon out.. This time we heard a different noise and out of the back came ten to twenty old time glass bottles like for medicine and other chemical bottles…. This was the workings of pack rats and the only place that had those bottles was at least 1/4 mile to the north at a old house foundation…. It still amazes me how they carried those slick bottles all that way and up inside our combine…😮 Just had to share!!!

[@ohiofarmlife4020]

20v DeWalt drill through the combine makes some noise and the lithium battery cells light the field on fire when they hit the ground. It was an exciting 10 minutes…

[@robertwilliamsjr.9195]

Triple R farms in Alabama store their header gathering chains in a bucket of diesel fuel to keep from rusting...lubes as well extending life of chain...just an idea..

[@redbovine]

My neighbor fired his combine up with a corn head on it. A 4lb sledge hammer went I. The front and out thru the chopper. It’s not pretty.

[@CH-in9lj]

Been lucky with no tools in the combine, but leaving the elevator sump plates off makes the yield on your first pass a bit low 😢

[@charlesmcdade9722]

Good show

[@i.f.colville2497]

I always had the same feeling about leftover tools etc with the first start up after a full pre harvest service /repairs on customers combines. They were almost always done on the customers farm in the 60s and 70s. Fortunately it never happened to me but not everyone was so lucky one of my workmates forgot to put oil in the engine and didn,t check it before starting the combine! Cost the company a replacement Perkins 6 354 😮

[@johnwaddell7239]

we had a mechanic leave a crowbar in the drum of a combine after a repair many years ago ,when i started it up ,the next repair was much bigger ! but i was certainly not paying for it

[@leekillman802]

Showed that Honey Bee header to my spouse who cut wheat with a 960 Case and 12 foot header. Her comment was holy quacamole it would take an engineering degree to run that combination. By the way you can't fire Jim, the channel would have a rebellion. It isn't harvest time without an oil mess.

[@SimonPerry-cz4ke]

From England Good to see Jim and the Scrap yard EMR Truck and Fuchs Re handler just like over here.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Zach

[@dbuckley2969]

Great video Zack. Watching those used metal panels getting crushed instead of being sold as reusable panels hurts me. Always try to find ways to sell usable stuff instead of junking it.

[@89nissancrawler]

Yeah, try selling them to every hick that wants them for a piece of half chewed gum, that never actually show up even when they say they're on their way. That's worth it.

[@joachimgahm3182]

It’s incredible that you can use a 45 foot header on a 980, here in southern Sweden our maximum is 35 foot header sometimes when the straw is heavy we have to use a 30 foot. To use a 45 foot here we have to use an X9 1100. 😂

[@bradolsen8629]

Zack we do miss the outtakes at the end of each video. Do you think you could maybe bring those back? I’m crossing my fingers.🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰

[@wannabefarmer6056]

Why wouldn't you have brush along your deck plate? That would let the stock pull through and not the kernels. Then your chain brushes take it up to the head.

[@joeherndon5815]

Sure was a quick way to get rid of all those used roof sheets but with a little bit more time could of sold them for around $30.00 per sheet on the very low side

[@EstOptimusNobis]

Little trick I learned in the army for cleaning dirty oil stains off of concrete: Get as much wiped off that you can, then on the stain sprinkle white gas (naptha) which you can get from camping supply stores (its used in white gas Coleman stoves), then light it on fire and let it burn the oil stain out of the concrete. Repeat as necessarry until the stain has faded clean. BE CAREFUL for god's sake! as it is a hazard.

If you put a number label on each tool in sequential order as it’s used you can count them up after the task to make sure nothing is missing. Remove the labels, put them away till the next project.

When you are on Millennial Farmer and talking about Between the Rows and racing and you say you are waiting for a header to show up before you leave causes a little laughter when I know you had a broken header on the race car. Haha. Good one.

[@homecats1]

I agree. The brushes will be nothing but little stubs of fiber in just a couple of days of harvesting. Another gimmick sold by equipment suppliers to gullible farmers.

[@zakstewart394]

Any new demos coming in the harvest season??

[@blavictor]

Still hooked on MF... thanks for allowing me/us to share your life!

[@brett2k07]

As a finance guy, I’m curious what the expected increase in yield is with the new brushes. When you think of commercial production plants for large brands, they’re often fighting for pennies in savings per unit during production which can translate to significant dollars overall. It doesn’t seem like there would be much loss from cob shattering, so are we working towards a 5% increase? More/less?

[@truebluebluetick]

Lol won’t even notice what they “save” but will probably notice less volunteer next year

[@beckyumphrey2626]

They advertise the brushes save 1 bushel per acre.

[@7rixee]

Hopefully we'll see a lot of harvest videos 😊

[@harleypyne75]

Loving the new header but what happened to the wind system you ran on the John Deere header? Do you no longer run that?
