wrapped up haul in those pe's they call and said  they're full so we're like all right no more haul   in there now it's time to put everything away got  air drills there air drill over there got trucks   for fertilizer truck for seed augers everywhere  fertilizer augers you do an operation there's a   lot of odds and ends that go and Supply that  operation and well winter weight seating   operations spraying operations are all pretty much  done so that means we need to put everything away   so heading over to the grain bin site we're going  to clean up the grain spill that we had finish   putting all the seed back in the bin that was uh  left over from the wintery seeden pull a bunch   of auger conveyor everything back to the yard  over here run all the small engines out of gas   so they don't sit there during the winter probably  use some of them but I like to just run them out   anyways they sit for a few months even though it's  non ethanol high high octane fuel that we put in   these still that gas just gets old so sometimes  it's nice just run a dry and then they start a lot   better the next time you go to run them 4520 is  dead I don't know I think usually doesn't go dead   had power the other week but for whatever  reason the battery is dead dead dead so must   been have short somewhere so we're charging on  it but we're going add a little more juice get   this thing going all right 4520 come on that  think's amazing good deal all right back goes first think that'll work ah  now for a pin hey well that's [Applause] convenient I was pulling away and I got waved  down by the guys and they're like hey we actually   might use that conveyor we've got winter wheat  seed that we were using out of this bin right   here um there's only about two or 300 bushel  left in it maybe 400 at most that truck's got   like 200 bushel in it and instead of putting  that back in there and tying up a 3,000 bushel   bin with like 500 bushel winter wheat seed  that bin on the end there holds 700 bushel   so we're like well let's get the conveyor  set under there finish dping that into the   truck then take the truck with this augur and  put it in that little bin there make sense so   they're going to handle that I'm going to grab the  fertilizer auger let's take that back to [Music] farm now some might wonder why are we taking all  this stuff back to the yard every time we finish   this stuff cuz well it's more likely only going  to be used over at the bin site over here so why   are we taking it all over there well I like to  take them back home close to the shop because   if any of you guys have been around Machinery you  know that when it sits for a little while and you   go to use it it might have worked just fine the  last time youan it but it is amazing Murphy's Law   something will be wrong be a flat tire a bearing  will just be out uh the mice will built a nest   inside the engine somewhere and the intake you  just you don't know the G the fuel tank wasn't   drained and leaks down into the oil pan cuz the  carburetor float was stuck there's all kinds of   stuff that happens so then you got to take it and  either try to work on it in the yard or you can   have it right next to the shop where you can pull  right up at the beginning of the year when you're   ready to use it and quickly just run through it  in front of the shop have all the tools right   there and equipment necessary so that's kind of  why biologic to bring in stuff back back to the   main yard when it's sitting now we don't have the  luxury of having massive shops Cold Storage uh at   our location cuz we haven't generated enough  Revenue to be able to finance some of that   stuff but if the day comes we definitely will  but we've got old buildings spread across the   whole Farm old Quant sets old shops from different  Farms that we' been acquired over the years so for   the sake of putting equipment inside some things  do got to be put far away from our yard and just   to get them out of the elements and out of the  mice and out of the random stray pieces of lead   flying through the sky during hunting season  all right well let's drop this here cuz I want   to like I said winterize it get all the gas out  of the carb and everything [Music] beautiful all   right round two this time they don't  need it I can get out of here with it say how's my 62 been running running real  really good really good very little oil burn   very little oil burn and uh it's uh good power  good mileage I can't but I'm still having uh   cylinder one the sparkle keeps fouling pretty bad  by two times an oil change probably so about half   an oil change I go in I pull it out and clean it  off put it back in so I got to fix I'm pretty sure   it's a leaky uh valve seal that's leaking a little  bit of oil in along and it's causing particles or   carbon to build up on the on the spark plug which  isn't good cuz you get a bad spark which lowers   performance and you possibly can get hot spots  that create detonation I think predetonation   detonation anyways with all that I got to fix it  so winter job I'll keep cleaning the plugs for now   we've been getting some gravel hold on the site  too really to use some more gravel in some areas   that's always something we're trying to do but now  we're getting our binyard fairly well established   on how layout's going to be uh we'll know where  our areas are that they're going to be driven on   the most and so we're just going to keep kind of  putting some gravel down here and there get to   points so that way we're not in a sloppy mess when  they call and go hey we need grain and we're like oh do I make tracks for trucks good morning all  right the plan is today we're going to grab our   plow um chisel plow and it's actually already  hooked up to the 600 big bud we just put the pin   the hitch um there's a tire that needs air and I'm  going to go try to air that up we'll Wing It Up   bring it over to the shop we'll grease everything  check the shovels on it and see if they need to be   uh replaced or moved around and if it looks pretty  decent and everything looks good we're going to go   out and rip some ground that's pretty rough we got  about oh 250 Acres maybe 200 depending on what we   want to rip and uh it's just really rough we just  got to rip it so we're going to get that done and   then the idea that we're going to do is after we  rip it we're going to use one of the air drills   which is actually hook to the series 2 big bud the  5 and a qu and uh run that air drill through and   just not seat it but just run it through and what  it's going to do is it's going to kind of level it   out a little bit um all the little plow um rows  that kind of get dirt moved up in a big bunch of   grooves and it'll just be rough so what I'm trying  to say is we're trying to level out the ground   make it smoother cuz it's a nightmare to spray  it's a nightmare to uh run the combines through   and the best thing to do is just got to get iron  to the ground and rip it so that's our plan um   other than that we got the air drills cleaned out  um um seed put away augers put away and uh couple   other things taken care of and and it's feeling  good we're getting close to the end of the the   long push but we still have to keep pushing still  got some stuff to do but yeah things are going   good really happy about it and we're making some  uh plans for some upcoming projects this winter so   should be very interesting I think you guys  are going to enjoy some of the stuff and I'm   not going to say anything about it but you'll  find out shortly all right I'm going to use the   air on the big bud so I can PL fill up the tire  let's start this thing and let it fill up the air tank there we go and I grabbed  two air hoses cuz I didn't know   if it's going to be long enough with one  it should be long enough with one but   just in case I figured better grab  two this hose that was a beautiful toss all right the other end oh yeah it's  plenty long enough there's the other end and we'll go over here and I see  let me grab this and in case I need it there we go it says 90 PSI I'll  probably put 80 it's filling up [Music] after tightening a couple bolts that  need to be tightened replace a few   things like shovels uh greased and air it  up the tires make sure that they're good   we are good to go so I'm going to take this  600 with our chisel plow and uh go rip some ground yeah this thing this thing's seen  uh better days it's it's definitely used   we bought it pretty used like it was it was  used when we bought it and we've used it too so   it's not pretty but most of our stuff  on our farm has been hand me- Downs   multiple times before we get it there's  a reason for that cuz we can afford it then H we need somebody to eat the  initial cost of new and then maybe   another person buying it from them so that  we could be the third or fourth on the list   to acquire that piece of Machinery  that's about how it works around here it's all good though you learn a lot of  things by working on used stuff all right guys   I'm back with the big brute and I've got some  things I want to talk about with this big brute   CU well it's big and it's a brute and we've done  a lot to it the last few years and I I don't know   if I ever fully showed some of these systems that  we put on here so I kind of want to go over some   of these they're they're they're amazing I love  the sprayer oh this this just such a good sprayer   let's just start with the Boom the tech that we're  going to talk about is from our friends at Raven   Industries Raven's been a great company to work  with they make some outstanding products and it   it just has transformed a sprayer without without  it I don't know honestly if I can handle a sprayer   without without the systems I got here and this  is first system up I'm going to show you is the   autoboom the xrt system it's a seven sensor system  and it has made my life so nice spraying I sprayed   for years manually running the booms I had 100ft  Boom at the time and every dip every [ __ ] every   wash out everything I was pressing the button  to raise and low the boom along because I didn't   have auto boom and now we do thanks to Raven it is  amazing so let's show the system here here's one   of the sensors right here so it just detects the  proximity to the ground and it watches and there's   an algorithm as these sensors work together and  unicent and it'll just kind of go okay oh I need   to go up a littleit I need to go down a little  bit I need to keep that height CU whatever the   predetermined height that you pick above your  canopy of the crop whether it's weeds or crop   spraying or whatever you're doing um it'll try to  maintain that and it does a fantastic job I mean I   can spray 12 15 miles an hour and it keeps up if  it's really level I can spray way faster but the   120t boom it's amazing how fast it keeps up it's  unreal so there's one right there there's another   one right here and then we got another one right  there so there's three on each boom then there's   a center sensor one right here in the Center and  then three that way and along with that there's   also a sensor right here as you can see that's  attached to the frame the center section of the   sprayer and that tells it exactly how high up and  down the boom has been raised and lowered so as   it raises it push this arm here pushes on that  little arm there turns the sensor or switches it   inside here and says hey um I moved up a little  bit and uh then all the the position sensors out   there the height sensor will will will confirm  and they'll go together work together and go yeah   yeah you went up this far you went down this far  so there's one on each side there and there then   there's also another one if I can find it here  right here see so we got another one and that   is because the center section can uh oscillate  back and forth like this and pivots should say   pivot not oscillate pivots pivots right there so  this sensor tells that information to the system   one more piece of the puzzle that's all in that  algorithm that goes okay this has moved that has   moved this has moved you hit you know that boom  raises up a little bit it's going to cause this   boom to dip down on this side so this boom on this  side is going to have to raise up a little bit to   counter that dip because of the forces of moving  that 120t boom back and forth and it's pivoting   here and that isn't even saying with the sprayer  itself as it's barreling down the field hitting   bumps and dips because this truck's going to  go bam hits a dip okay well now it's going to   throw that boom down into the ground well the  moment this truck drops the boom has already   started lifting cuz it knows it goes oh the truck  just down I got to correct for that so it starts   raising that and that way you're not dragging  boom out there hidden up underneath the truck   hey hear that I found my air leak oh thanks guys  you guys are awesome I've been looking for that   early for a while now all right back to what we're  talking about right here is a roll sensor so that   is mounted level with the frame of the truck so  as the truck like I was saying earlier if it dips   in a dip a tire a rut whatever ever it may be  the ground starts turning that sensor will go   uhoh the truck is starting to roll a little bit I  better start preparing for something that's coming   because there's a good chance the truck's driving  down a hill in a ditch so let's raise a boom on   that side a little bit to counter that just to  make sure we don't drag boom and for just the   stress level of spraying I'll say the autoboom  system by far is it's worth it it's just worth   it if you got a sprayer and you don't have an  autoboom system on it highly recommend getting   one on it it is unreal how much it changes your  spraying all new sprayers have my know shouldn't   say all and probably you can get them without  them but anything over 100 ft you got you just   got to have it now on the back of this we have a  bunch of modules that were installed there's one   up here and there's one right there and those  modules combined with a flow meter which is   oh it's over here actually with this flow meter  working unicent so they keep tabs on the product   going out and that's how you get your variable  rate and uh a lot of the autoboom systems and all   that it's all integrated together in those systems  and so that's the spraying side of things now when   you go to fill we have this a big flow meter here  attached to this monitor this counts the product   going into the tank so as you're filling that  says hey you got 786 gallons put in that tank   and that then connects to your viper which is in  the cab and puts a a a a icon up there that gives   you your gallons in your tank and how fast it it  uh is being taken out so that way you can keep   an accurate tab of how much did you actually put  in that tank and how much is going out now with   the spr we used to have a trimble system in it it  was like an easy pilot I think is what they called   it and it would overheat it didn't hold the line  very well it worked but it wasn't it wasn't great   and the monitor we had wasn't enough horsepower  to run all these systems and so we swapped all   that out for the Raven system and uh I'll touch  more on that in in a in a bit about the swap but   we went Auto or integrated Auto steer so no longer  is the steering column driving the steering into   this the sprayer there's an integrated system so  we're using this hydraulic block here with all   these solenoids connected to this arm this tells  the position of the steer axle so this arm is it   goes in and out real simple but does a lot very  important that tells the degrees of what angle   is this front tire at so the computer can then go  okay I'm going this way now that system combined   with your receiver GPS receiver and that's talking  all the systems too and that is working with that   steer position sensor and that uh that hydraulic  valve body to go okay with the satellites in space   talking to 10 11 of them at a time and they go  hey uh you're right here but you're drifting   this far off the line that was preset and the  steering indicator goes oh well your steering I   don't know 3 de off from Center okay well let's  turn them back 5° to intercept that line again   the receiver goes yep you're intercepting that  line okay take that 5° reduce it to 4° reduce   to 3° reduce it to 2° 0° all right we're back on  straight on that line does that make sense it's   I'm such this is such a dumb version of this but  the guys that really know these the terminology   and how this all works are probably shaking their  heads at me but no this is just a real basic view   of how all these systems work together it's it's  amazing and all these systems talk to each other   it's it's it's it's remarkable that literally  pieces of silicone and aluminum and gold and   solar panels screaming across the sky at thousands  of miles an hour way up there are helping me do   my job down here and GPS has been around forever  but still amazing all right so we're inside big   brot's cab as you can see the easy Pilot's gone  now we've got nice integrated Auto steer the old   triple monitor is gone got our beautiful Viper  4 my favorite monitor love this thing Viper 4   plus so here's our screen right now as you can  see this is the auto boom these are each of the   sensors on the on the booms right now that's 30  in 28 26 24 27 38 44 and that's the height above   the ground up there so if I raise and lower the  boom 45 86 85 72 88 91 so I raised that boom up   so now it's indicating that lower it down you can  turn on auto mode and I can adjust sensitivity the   height the crop level what kind of crops am I in  am I in really tall crop or am I in really short   stubble lot of options there really nice we've got  all your rate control really nice easy tank level   says zero right now gallons of tank Acres you  can spray acres per hour your target rate your   sections of your sprayer I can turn on and off  the switches so I can turn the valves open and   close them per swi switches there's five sections  on the sprayer let's go to auto guidance here's   where we can adjust our steering sensitivity  how well it tracks to a line intercepts a line   that's line acquisition speed response how fast  ises the motor or does it try to turn integrated   auto secure system are really fast they can  they can whip on quick see how many satellites   we're talking to right now we're talking to nine  current accuracy is 25 in it's getting better as   it requires more satellites we've also got a lot  of telematics on here we've got Wi-Fi and cellular   so if this thing needs to connect to say slingshot  you can actually send your data to the cloud while   you're out in the field as long as you have  Cellular Connection or if you pull in your yard   you can dump it through Wi-Fi or if you need help  diagnosing something you can have someone remote   in and work on it through the slingshots pretty  pretty cool system now as a lot of you know we   have a weit system on the sprayer the weit system  has been amazing um and that does all the nozzle   control there are solenoids for every nozzle  the weed it system controls that but it works   hand inand with the Raven systems now Raven does  offer a uh nozzle control system um doesn't have   the sensors that the weed it has but you can have  that but because we have the weed it it has the   weed it weed it uh pwms or pulse width modulator  uh solenoids on this on this on the nozzles now   I haven't in a while I'm going to pull the data  on a thumb drive I like thumb drives off of this   Viper and put it on my computer so let's uh copy  all of that and Export it to the thumb drive there   we go and that way we can look at that data on  the PC that's always nice to have and for backup   too for records now will there be more added to  Big brute I don't know but for right now it's   it's made quite a sprayer out of this thing and  I've I don't know I haven't kept cheack of all my   hours but I've got to have well over 300 hours in  this sprayer this season alone so I put a lot of   time into this and every time I go and drive a  different sprayer I just think myself how much   I like big root just all these systems when they  work they work so well so if you've got an old   system in your sprayer your combine whatever  it may be you can pull it out right now take   it into Raven and they'll give you up to 50% off  a new system from Raven up into the end of the   year which is December 31st so get on it pull that  little system out do what we did trade it in put   that money towards a much better system okay well  I have a project that shouldn't be too difficult   uh what it is is uh this is my daughter's car  about a 2011 Regal Buick Regal and uh happened   a couple months ago um during Harvest um she  wanted to come and ride on the combine and we're   we're cutting right next to a kind of abandoned  County Road um but koshia the weeds had kind of   grown up in the middle and so she was heading up  uh to uh ride with me and she was heading up there   if it wouldn't been for the weeds she would have  missed it but she was kind of straddling where the   the the Wheel Wash out or the road wear is you  know so you have the middle up a little higher   but evidently it must been a rock from a truck or  whatever that kicked up and when she did go across   that that rock must just tapped the oil cover  rolled and then punched a hole right up in the oil pan well when she realized and she heard that big  crash um as far as the oil pan um she coasted down   and then shut the the oil light came on and she  shut it down so I there no damage to the engine   I you know it wasn't running that long at all uh  but of course with that kind of a hole it pours   out it dumped it quickly so I do have an oil uh  pan and I got time now to uh drop this oil pan   so that's the job and what I understand is that  the dipstick could be your biggest uh issue um   just trying to get it to uh separate from the  pan some had to take the dipstick off with the   pan but other than that uh it's just matter  of a bunch of bolts and what's interesting is   uh I went and I tried to look for a gasket an  oil pan gasket for this engine and they don't   make oil pan gaskets they use sealant as a gas  gasket using sealing a gasket sealing material   and so um I'll just put some gasket sealing  material on there and put it back up put some   oil in it and I think she's good to go so we'll  see what kind of a project that is all right   well first things first is drain the oil right  okay what is that the oily bird gets the worm no now all right so had to take uh a couple bolts out  of the air conditioning um compressor because it   uh one bolt is uh hooked onto it so I I loosen  it up so the pan won't be against it won't be   against the pan now I just have uh about seven of  those pan bolts uh these two and then there's one here I took this last one out and uh it's come  out now um I need to work this off so let me   go get some vice grips and uh see if uh if I  can wiggle it back and forth enough to work it out here it comes all right  got that off let's pull the pan oh okay it's just barely on the there  we go okay man hands are a little oily   but that's the indentation a little  crease just a divot uh maybe just a little crease it does come with the oil suction uh  screen that was a GL gasket there let's clean it   I got to get her all cleaned up [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
