Winter Projects Have Started!!

[@canadiansnowplowguy2852]

Spray starting fluid on the brake drums and light it. (With air valve in) For frozen air lines and valves in trailer put airline antifreeze in the red line on tractor and hook to the blue glad hand on trailer. (Leave the other line disconnected). Then get in truck and release the trailer brake valve. This circulates the antifreeze through the system backwards and cleans the screens on valves.

We are all having fun watching Larson Farms videos! The more equipment a farm has, the more maintenance of course. Let's get to work boys. Worn out equipment sounds like auction time. Frozeen brakes means flame thrower time. The horn on that truck sounds like the horn on aHonda mini-bike made in Britain. Say goodnight to Load King till later.

[@gailp9432]

The Carhartt rep needs to visit you guys. Still better than television.

[@thomasdunaway2171]

It was nice to see the Sweed. Been REALLY missing him

[@just-incase3483]

I never set my trailer brakes when it gets below 25 degrees. Getting under a frozen trailer covered in ice is for young guys😂

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for the video. Lots of winter projects going on. Thanks. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@jaykuz7861]

Love the maintenance videos, you get to see so much equipment. It’s really amazing how much you have to take care of.

[@jls1045]

Watching y'all working in extremely cold weather🥶 makes me glad I live in TX!🌞 Yesterday we hit 84° & today we had a much cooler 60°. I spent all my life putting up with Indiana winters until moving to TX 3 years ago, after retirement. I enjoy your videos. Try & stay warm!😊

[@belamoure]

Thorough maintenance saves time and money in the short, medium and long term. Cleanliness and order in the boxes of screws, screws drivers, hammers etc are also part of the mix. Those are the lessons I learnt in watching your vlogs. Had no clue lill mice could be so dangerous!

[@arbigdog73]

I think Jordan & Brody are long lost Brothers.

[@AshlynnCairns]

You just keep getting better. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@fleece192]

Good stuff guys. I always enjoy.

[@Foreveroutthere]

Love watching your workload change by season. Cold is better when your moving. Or inside the shop !

[@davidvanmeenen4209]

Use tire shine on the rubber flooring. It'll make it a little slick but nothing will stick to the floor and they will shine like crazy. Little trick we used at TMC for company inspections.

[@johnnyking3894]

Just a little fyi you can take a butane torch to the air distribution valves on the trailer run it across there and in freeze the air lines. That’s where the brakes tend to freeze.

[@Victor-i6e]

Thanks for sharing, Chet. I enjoy them all. Be safe. Stay well. Victor

[@jasonnorris2979]

Have drivers pull drains on the air tanks all the way around,just like a shop compesser. Don't need to drain all the way just hit empty to get moister out and add a LITTLE air line alcohol

[@tatecanoy3599]

Y’all are great! Love watching y’all’s videos!!

[@ryanbachman9227]

Put the air line antifreeze in before it starts getting cold it never hurts. Use mop n glo on the floor mats of the tractor or vehicles. Dust doesn’t stick to them

[@darrelmignery575]

It's condensation builds up in the brake lines just like on a gasoline vehicle the condensation can build up in the tank if you don't keep it filled and then freeze in the gas lines

[@stephenross1581]

Great having another video from you guys ❤❤

[@bradleymincey6905]

Dang, I'm getting a heck of a deal on those group 31 truck batteries! I normally get them from my supply store for around $80, but right now they have a sell Going on that if I buy 12 batteries at a time they will only be $60 a piece. Gotta love that battery killimg cold weather!

[@PeterWenzel-yn7fn]

Waving a hand from texas

[@hermanwall850]

WD40 in a semi trailer air system is almost like magic. Gotta do it while it's warm still and pump alot of it through. Probably half a quart worth but I tell ya it gets old sticking air valves to work and tend to not freeze up in the cold

[@johnfristoe4256]

Dougo needs a dually because it is cool.

[@steveneal2706]

awesome video. thank you guys

[@garyfaulds2613]

Put brake line alcohol an put it in before it freeze up. About a pint or so .

[@jimlong527]

It was 81 degrees today here in South West Florida. Shorts and flip flops. Also mowed the lawn. But we need you to farm it’s important.

[@nohand322]

Hey Dugo. I know where you can get the Group 31 Screw Top batteries for $ 78 with cores.. 950 CCA. And this is every day price.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good evening Larson farms from Indiana

[@chrishann5714]

I love Doug’s truck shopping adventures, reminds me of me

[@kenbettygregor3900]

AS ALLWALS SUPER VIDEO THANK YOU

[@brucebiehn2123]

Buy some tanner gas for your air system. When things are froze up that stuff will break it loose. I’ve seen it work on trailers at minus -50.

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Chet 🚜🚜🚜

[@SteveMichaels]

Team Larson 1st place

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Chet you need to invest in a tire machine to take off tire from rim. Good job keeping equipment up to date all of you guy’s need to be check every week but that is what winter is for work , work , work never ends. Nice Big Swede for cleaning cab tractor .

[@thomasjohnson3895]

Maybe invest in Optima batteries. Initial cost is high but they last a long time. I currently have 4 of them in my Pete that I installed early 2014. I initially ran them a year and a half in the oilfield on extremely rough washboard roads that normally kill regular batteries in one year. Since then almost all highway miles.

[@dustyrhoades2063]

Come down to iowa and see so good battery being made

[@PgP736]

❤ from Norway

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@alexday8191]

The airline antifreeze does work but on newer equipment can do damage to the abs valve

[@maag529]

Morning Guys

[@michaelmatthews4726]

word to the wise: when you put 2 tires side to side the higher tire will wear down very quick. Try to match the hight of tires when installing them next to each other.

[@lesgobrandon3105]

The shorter tire wears faster. It’s called revolutions per mile. Give it some thought.

[@harveystephens6115]

Enjoyed stat warm

[@timmiekrause4930]

Keep up the great work making these videos I wish I could meet you guys

[@flatheadV8]

Dugo needs to get a 'Roo Bar' on his next truck

[@StevenMiller-cx4rr]

The anticipation……❤❤❤❤

[@JoshsTruckingadventures]

Well I don’t have that issue. I don’t set my trailer brakes when I’m hooked to it anyways lol

[@peterbenson3776]

Lets see how the dozer cab came out

[@dylantryder6007]

You should do a updates farm/equipment tour

[@stevengrieve678]

The sump plug should be around 24mm in metric money👍

[@SirWhiteRabbit-gr5so]

1-1/16" is more like 27mm.

[@JohnDeere-jw7jf]

Love it

[@waterskiingfool]

A lot of projects for one day.

[@richarddpetersen169]

You guys get to "do maintenance" much earlier in the winter than we do.

[@michaelbolin551]

Spray bottle with alcohol works great to unfreeze brakes, 29 years over the road experience with frozen brakes

[@bbrcummins1984]

Make sure it has an Aisan tranmission Dougo

[@TheMr9fingers]

Yes it is nice when they use the clusters of nipples for grease fitting sucks when they break.

[@juanitakauffman6336]

Progress on maintenance.

[@keyontreclark8189]

The forklift looks hella professional

[@JOYR1234]

you may won't to look at getting into a battery program it will help with some of the cost

[@brianwilton8555]

Great video

[@nickjohnson9637]

WD-40 in the air tanks every fall. Works amazingly well

[@avrtt]

With all the tire changing you do, especially used tires, I would love to see you guys get a tire inflating cage. I would hate to see one of you get hurt by a exploding tire.

[@daveklein2826]

Send them one

[@patrickheinen7324]

They don't even have enough sense to ware a pair saftey glass

[@johnbucklerfarms]

It’s from Turning and the Tire Slide sideways!

[@lesgobrandon3105]

Probably not. Most likely mismatched duals.

[@TheGrapeape34]

Tell Dougo come out to Idaho. Ram 3500 everywhere. I can get him some prices lol

[@friendship1957]

I am amazed at how much time and MONEY ya'll have to spend on maintaining tires and tracks.

[@delbutler885]

Count the pieces of equipment it takes a lot of rubber to keep it moving

[@dknust9]

It would make the tractor a little shorter if you dropped the bucket off when trying to put it in there. Sometimes the obvious thing is not obvious till someone points it out. Love the content and keep up the good work.

[@RickyBobby-w3m]

The tire wore out fast like that due to outside tire being more tread…. The smaller tire will spin at a slightly less speed and will burn the tread off insanely fast. Always match up tire height

[@lesgobrandon3105]

You are correct, basically.

[@jacobkrahn4172]

You need to put that in a return airline.

[@petermoller8337]

So things are getting more expensive 😮

[@madflyer1093]

let the trailer sit for an hour before setting the brakes. they will almost never freeze that way. put a cap of methyl in the red line only once per day to about 20 below, then 2 caps after that.

[@richardradawetz8788]

Wow I change at 150 hrs

[@marklen2322]

If your air lines are frozen, it is pretty obvious the trucks air dryer is not working. The air dryer needs to be checked every faĺl before winter

[@penniesfromheaven2511]

Yes sir, mine gets a new spin on filter and a heater check every year. You’ll know when the heaters out when it sticks open while exhausting the water.

[@jons6125]

4 track fleet line up shot please

[@electrochaser8154]

No more deer hunting with the truck Dougo

[@Hondabill]

Just all purpose rubbing alcohol in both air lines will get rid of ice

[@markb9241]

I see you removed your big Trump flag on your shop wall! Don’t blame you! 😂😂😂😂

[@ceciliacicchinelli4797]

We call them SNOWMEXICANS!

[@Chris_L034]

js otr drivers dont set their trailer brakes unless absolutely necessary.

[@ryanbrink6810]

Im surprised you don't have a quick reference chart somewhere for oil drain plugs or common maintenance wrench and socket sizes.

[@BrianWetzel]

Can the Blue 2 Tone get some Love .... Kick a tire? Change the Oil....? Maybe an Air Freshener? The Truck has Been on this Channel since Day One ...... GIVE the Chevy Some Luv😂😂😂

[@agentcrm]

They did get a new transmission put in it.

[@paulbigstanstanleyjr.1930]

Any real trucker knows not to set his trailer brakes after running in winter, wet, freezing conditions, but dropped trailers are another story... I always carry a small bottle torch in the winter for that very reason.

[@SaulTebauls]

Drain your air tanks

[@shaneprice9901]

👍🏽

[@Terryburgett-p4v]

Can't believe duggo is trying to. Blame Ms Amy

[@Alaskan454]

Yep……Doug definitely needs a Ram crew cab 4x4 dually, we’ll be watching its debut on your moms channel….!

[@edwhite6250]

👍

[@ChrisCoelhosr]

24D and WD40 works and will not try out the seals in the valves

[@Jmeinema1]

Did I just watch chet tighten a filter with a filter wrench 🫣🫣🫣🫣

[@PhilFowler-Jones]

Was the JD640 loader made in USA? We used to collect them from the JD factory in France for the UK.

[@MaddoxZook]

Updated machinery tour this winter?

[@UTMDiscovery]

I feel like everything is about to freeze

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Grain prices might freefall! No purchases!

[@delbutler885]

I'm sure that they have a marketing position

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chet Dougo Eric Jordan winter work

[@NoSpam-x8b]

Chet, did you get a new editor or a software update? The volume on your latest videos is way below those a couple of weeks back. Other channels I watch are still same volume. Your last few are very quiet.

[@ryanstults1963]

Where has the big Swede been???

[@mattphillips4260]

not sure if you have a rural king there but i have had good luck with their batteries

[@piperdoug428]

Can i put all my cows in yer heated shop? to be -32c tonight up here

[@averythomas6135]

Rubbing alcohol works on froze brakes

[@agentcrm]

Why didn't they take the bucket off first???
