The man,the myth,the legend….JIM

I love when your dad and Jim are on the farm working together

Pretty nice to have a sister throw clays. Good to see Jim found his second home again.

You know how the crowd cheers when a popular band finally gets on stage? I imagine that's what all the viewers here are like at 1:46 The legend!!!

I'm a 5ft 3 female and when I worked on a farm I came in very handy for all the 'get in weird tight spaces and be a contortionist to undo a bolt' jobs! I think your title is very accurate 😂

Nice to see the old guys and catDog made it through the winter!

Does everyone else feel there should be a Jim on every farm guy is funny him and Zach make a great duo! Keep it up Zach!

Good to see Jim and your Dad back on the farm. 🍻

Millenial bought a shooting park, and growing a moustache. You really need to warn us about how fast things change on this channel bro!!!!

Nice to see your Dad back, and Jim too. Missed them both!

"A good mustache always looks even better in a square body Chevy"😆

Thanks for showing Cat Dog is still on the farm! Missed her!

There he is... the one... the only... Jim. 😁 Good to see Jim is still gittin 'er done. Be safe and be well everyone.

I love it when Jim said here, I’ll catch you like a cartoon. Gotta be one of the best farmers, I know.

My days always get better when you guys upload, Becky great editing as always!

Brother and sister out on the farm skeet shooting is the most American thing I’ve seen all week 😂😂 love it lol

You should cut a 2x12 to fit inside the various hoppers you have. This way when work is needed on inside, you drop the plank in there and now you have a place to stand or sit without sliding down.😉

Waiting for the day when the big door opens and a piper cub is sitting in there.

“Did you try ether?” - Every farmer ever 😂

Was wondering about Cat Dog if he made through the long hard winter. 😊

Vapor Lock at 13:55, The look on your face ! 😂

A perfect video. The kids, your Dad & Jim!!

Finally the star of the show is back. Monkey’s/kids same thing and I use a 2x6 to stand on in my seed tender.

Lets see your getting fuel to the engine. It cranks And no fire form the Diesel. Check compression, I think you might have Stuck valves. And on your combine Look to see if the thing is flooding( Injectors sticking open or pump valves not fully closing. )theses are just a few thoughts about it. (hard start after running normally means it flooded or now fuel to rail. ) that out of the way Love the channel and enjoy all the work on the farm.😁😁

Great to see Jim wintered well.😀

Nothing runs like a John Deere until the Millenial Farmer is turning the key! 😂

It’s nice to Jim and Nathan back 😊

You mean a mullet and mustache looks good in a square body Chevy🤣😂

The supertrooper stash is fitting nicely.

I have not taken the time to read past comments but coming from a fleet servicing background, so much time and efficiency return in a fleet of diesels could come from implementing trickle chargers mounted (hardwired) on each vehicle and near a plug every time parked. Some fleets have adopted a plan that any unit stationary and projected to be so for over 45 minutes would be plugged into said chargers to limit battery/starting issues. These practices lead to double or even triple the battery lifetime, from a starting point of just two years thereby increased to four or five years. Exponential in terms of lack of loss of downtime, frustration, yield in your case, obviously materials cost, labor, etc. Cheers!

I'm sure you know this, but on most diesel equipment, if you turn the keyswitch back towards you, that preheats the glow plugs and makes starting a cold diesel engine MUCH easier.

Cat-dog doing the ol' Razzle Dazzle at the end of the video!!

I love tractors very much I don’t live on a farm, but I wish I would and I am always so happy when you post out new content if I’m watching a video I go straight to your content

At work, I'm the one they call to get into the tight spaces below, around and in any equipment. I've gotten specialized tools to reach tight spaces for this reason.

For future adventures in hoppers: get an 8' aluminium extension ladder, put it in the hopper so its sort of flat and extend it out. The ends will wedge on the sloping sides and give a better platform to work off.

Ok I gotta say it just can't resist...the nineteen eighties called they want their Magnum PI moustache back! Love the vids the editor does a fantastic job of fixing your flubbed lines lol

Good to see your dad and Jim back in the picture

Haven’t watched you in a while, and I don’t regret coming back! Great content as always man.

Wed. May 3. I'm from Vermont and visited Lowry Minnesota today for a Welfare Check. Probably saw Zach's father tilling with aJD 9xxx. Saw evidence of prior generations in the nearby cemetery of the Lutheran church. Mostly Lutheran churches in that part of Minnesota. Still some snow drifts that have not melted. Spring is later there than even Vermont.

Great work when the three of u'all are together. Keep up the good work as it won't be long when you get in the field and plant the seeds.

Your Dad has to “touch” some snow so he feels like he didn’t miss all the good winter stuff.

I'd love a "Behind the Jim" episode. He reminds me of guys I worked with when I was a kid, brings back fond memories. Thanks for the content., Brett - New Zealand

Jim, everyone's favorite farm hand!

I was the farm monkey on my grandparents' farm. They grew vegetables, mainly tomatoes, but they also had a small pecan grove of around 30 trees. I used to climb the trees and shake the limbs to get the pecans to drop. I guess I was around 9 years old when I started and did this until my early 20s and never fell. I did watch one of my uncles fall about 14 feet, land flat on his back and bounce when he hit the ground. Luckely, he didn't' get hurt but that was the last tree he climbed.

use a pallet on the skid steer as a way to get on and off the grain cart

Good video, nice to see you working hard it's going to be a busy year with everything you got going on

“Un , du, twa. Less doooo iiiit!” Super troopers

I've been driving across SD, and it's amazing to see the country start to come alive with farmers hitting the fields!

nice to see cat - dog survived the winter.

When a 13.5 starts hard when it’s warm it’s from leaking injector cups. They leak compression into the fuel in the head and air lock the head. They will get worse. To the point it will kill the engine while it’s running.

Your videos make me happy i have all 30+ yr old green machines. All my machines start so easy first try every time, gotta love the classics

After watching you for the last few years, We are moving soon to your area of the country. From the desert to the plains. Des Moines. So, in a way we will be neighbors. Thank you and be safe.

My 4400 compact tractor has a $9 thermistor behind the fuse panel that makes it hard to start at strange temperatures when it was bad. Simple fix, terrible to diagnose.

That mustache is looking real snazzy Zach! Best of luck and success for you and your family this season. Be safe, and God Bless.

Glad you brought some 3/4" with you in case the 19mm didn't work.

Jim got jokes! 🤣🤣

That stash is sweet~! Reminds me of deer camp every year....

80’s movie star “😆” stash is workin good for ya!

Ah, the spring sprint! I see a lot of Racing crossover to the Farm Operation......Pit mats and using a crescent wrench for sheet metal work!

If you work in a Gravity Wagon wrap foam rubber around your Boots keeps you from sliding.

build a 'half diamond' out of 1/8th skin on the sides on a plywood frame; add a 3/4" 'floor' on top, with a slot for a handle -> a quick and easy maintenance floor for that sized hopper.

It’s nice to see your dad and Jim back.

On a much smaller scale I have those same issues of always having to move equipment and stuff around my shed because not long after I move it to a spot I think it will be out of the way then I have to get there for something else.

Awesome video Zach. Hope you have a great planting season. 🚜🚜🚜

Sometimes those trucks will have a sensor, the mass airflow sensor. It may need to be replaced, because if damaged, it will say the engine has no air, and it won't start. Also, timing could be an issue.

Next time you try to start the 9870 combine and it just cranks and doesn't fire right away try priming the injector pump with the prime pump, It sounds like it may be losing prime. 40 years experience.

Good to see Jim for sure

When you think about how much everything changed, From the logo to everything else

The animals there do talk. I’ve heard them!

Zack, Forklifts with pneumatic tires will typically do exceptionally well on gravel. Hard rubber tires do not fare so well. We used pneumatic tires at the lumber yard and those two forklifts were the only ones allowed on gravel when it was wet.

Love the stash

Loving the lip warmer.

Great show. When you were slipping over the dividers in that cart, I was thinking it is a good thing your family is already established!! One slip on that slippery side and family making is done. The Millennial farm is one busy place again. Good to see the whole crew working again. The stash looks good Zack, I like it. Just think, crawling around on equipment will be getting harder and slower EVERY year. (from MY experience) Enjoy your current physical limberness and abilities. They are starting to wane.

You should have changed the spark plugs on the truck with a left-handed screwdriver. You also didn't check the indicator fluid levels. So do that and then it might start. Maybe. :)

Glad to see Dad and Jim are finally back on the farm. Been missing Jim's humor.

Love Jim! ... yeah, I'll catch ya'!

It's nice to everyone cares about each others safety

Zack, always enjoy your videos and sense of humor.

On your truck, check your battery voltage. We had an issue very similar where the truck cranked perfect but wouldn’t fire. Turned out the battery was just low enough that it wasn’t telling the ECM to do it’s job

Check the Electric primer fuel pump on the combine -or add one if omitted.

The Zach “Old Spice” Johnson mustache show. Cue the old spice whistle for the outro.

Once again thank you for your sense of humor! Good to see everyone is back home safe, and ready for spring!

Must be the year of the mustache as many peeps are growing them.

This is where I toss a skid in the bin to stand on. I also have a short section of an old ladder that works great trying to stand on the side of a bin.

You should of put a 2 x 6 by about 4 feet long to span across to stand or sit on so you wouldn't keep sliding down the seed tender.

I have watched every video you posted on KZfaq over the years and one thing that really stands out to me is you need a chemical and seed shed and use the shops for equipment storage.

I like seeing jim back and your dad to, means planting time is coming. That mustachce catches me off guard, it makes you look older, i'm not saying that's bad, i just haven't been used to it. The kid's don't have long until summer break, i always used to look forward to do anything besides sit through school which was to easy and boring. I always worked a job where i moved a lot, the cemetery i ran for many year's was great, because i met so many good people, and i did the burials, grounds, building maintenance, snow plowing, and repaired all the equipment. College was a waste, because it was like sitting through high school all over. G-d bless everyone.

Nice to see everyone back and getting things ready to plant

Great to see the old gang back together! I couldn’t help but think gently dropping a ladder into the spreader to give you a foothold inside would have made things a bit easier than sliding around. But then again, it’s hard to tell on the video if that was even an option. Great video. The struggle is real!

Good to see Nate and Jim back!

Zac, With that stash all I can think about is that comedy with the Highway Patrol officer in the tight shorts! LOL 🤣

All that work all the time and you have a fantastic life on a beautiful farm with a great family and friends. I wish I had that. I used to be on a bin crew. That's hard work. And dangerous.

Thanks I needed one of your videos, looking forward to watching planting.

Rule # 1 of farm equipment. What ever you need is behind something you don't. ;) Thanks for the video!

Yo Zach. I'm thinking the farm needs an 8 foot ladder or a Little Giant. Balancing on the top of a six footer looked spooky. Or, at least use your stunt double.

On our spreader truck we just shimmied the tarp up the metal rod and it miraculously worked

Your channel is the " BEST " , keep up the good work ...

Well I guess you can grow a mustache and a beard welcome to the club glad to have ya.

At the 4:00 mark, you just need a short piece of 2x8 with a few cleats nailed or screwed to it. Lay it on the sloped sides and walk up it. Even a short wood step ladder would be of help.

Good show
