Everything Breaks at the Same Time!!

I like how dad generally ignores the camera… but, he played along with the “Action!”, to say Good Morning. 😂😂

Zack was in a mood on this one. Def jabs, electric tractors, etc. 😂

Missing Jim's quips! Hopefully he'll be back soon after his recovery!

Jim I hope your watching in the background, We all wish you well and hope you have a speedy recovery!!

I watch a lot of farmers. I can report that the wheels are pretty much flying off on most farms. The excitement of harvest has passed from breakdowns, mud, elbowed corn, drought damage, weather holdups, pry bars going through the combine…Chet, questioning their life choices & ready for it to end. Farming is hard work & we can’t live without them. Thank you.

I sense the question was somewhat rhetorical but regardless, you are in luck. I'm not a farmer but I am one of those electrical guys. To kind of answer your question realizing there are many variables involved to make a finite answer, here is a very basic idea. Five hundred horsepower is equal to 372.85kWh of power per hour. Running the harvester on electric for 16 hours would consume 5,965.6 kWh of electrical power. To replace that power in the battery pack (that doesn't yet exist) would take a 220 volt 50 amp charger 543 hours of charge time. If you had the electrical infastructure that could support a Telse Level 3 Supercharger (it needs 480 volt feed), you could recharge the imaginary battery in 15 hours. It doesn't seem you have the hours in a day to pull this off. Since the power needs to be generated somewhere, the best solution is to simply use diesel in your farming machinery and skip the middle guy. It is a shame the politicians who pushed electrification didn't consult with engineers first. I've been involved in several electric vehicles programs during my automotive career and every project, albeit successful, was shelved because 1. making more than one EV was going to be difficult and 2. no recharging infastructure. Then EVs became political and we can all see the mess that made.

Do NOT use stop leak on coolant! It plugs up the radiator. 6:20

As I was watching this, I thought about how incredibly blessed we are that there are farmers that are willing to work so hard growing and harvesting crops for the benefit of people who often don’t give it a second thought. Thank you for being a necessary and extremely important part of the bountiful foods I eat every day! 💕💕💕

Progress made despite dealing with issues. Your Dad is definitely patient...seems to roll with the flow the day hands him.

Zach, you really do have a thing for Dumb & Dumber. Every video some sort of D&D reference. "We've got no FOOD, we've got no JOBS, and our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"

Awesome video Zach. It's amazing that you can still keep your sanity with all that takes place over the few weeks as you harvest the crops. Job well done mister. 🚜🚜🚜

Hi Zach, FYI, there are a few companies that make level sensors for grain bins.The info can be sent to your phone, tablet, etc. Less climbing.

Send some moisture to your friends in Kansas Zach. Terrible fall harvest yields and the newly seeded winter wheat came up and is already turning yellow. Got a lot of wheat acres that got put in because guys are short on cash and interest rates are high. Keep grinding farmer!

Zach, I wish more of my Y/T creators could develop humorous content like you do. I always enjoy what you post. Thank you my dear friend. You can’t help being Swede.

Thanks for another great video Zach. I love how you give back and volunteer for Farm Rescue too.

Hi Zach. Hope Jim is doing okey and i hope that he comes back soon so we can enjoy content even more. Hello from Serbia by the way 🖐 I love watching your videos because farming here and there are too worlds apart. So its a nice thing to compare 😃 Have a great day 🖐

Zach - be sure to patent the finger-snap technique for farming. It saves countless hours of work. :-) Thanks for all the videos.

Thanks for another great video Zach and Dad. It was interesting. Wow. Busy day you all had. Sorry about the breakdowns but everything got going again except for the truck antifreeze leak. Save that for the truck mechanic. You got good service from your bin company. They came right away with the big boom to fix the clamp and all that. Great. Take a lot to keep everything going and working and harvesting going good. Makes for long days. Thanks for everything. Glad to hear Jim will be back soon. Very nice. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

One has to be thankful for the help when they get it. Still praying for Jim's recovery.

Zach, Thanks for all your videos. Really enjoy them, farmed as a youngster and young man on the family farm and a large dairy operation while in Jr. College. Really like to see how things have progressed, your humor and all you go through.....
