Lookin good Grant and Spencer can’t wait till you get your first semi

nice thing about having the dump box on the truck, if bad weather is coming in, not only can u fill the 2 wagons, u could also fill the dump box and use it like a grain truck.

Grant, Spencer is your secret weapon, your ace in the hole. His value continues to increase every season.

watching these along side of playing Farm sim, is massively growing my urge to save up and start a farm myself

Nice truck Spence made a good purchase

You should haul grain in the back of the truck aswell

Really happy for you guys. So great it's a family working together. Stay safe out there.

This was actually quite helpful, I have a WW2 military truck with the same sort of chassis if not the same and I have been wanting a drop hitch for it for a while!

You may want to use grade 8 bolts on the hitch if you haven't already

you two brothers work greally great together, grants enthusiasm about farming is super, we all hope that you both have a great life farming or what ever the future holds fore you

Great video! Glad to see you just keep at it, action after action!! Soaking in the information here...yields, moisture, time, distances, area measure, everything. Very appreciative of what you put into these, even when you just show us, and narrate only some of the time! We get it :) It's good! You produce good content Grant! Thank you!

You guys are doing a awesome job, always look forward to your vids. Many thanks

You guys should look into getting a single silo with dryer capabilities so you can store a little and not 100% rely on co-op even if the bin is used

I normally weld a piece of flat bar to the side plate that is snug up against the under side of the chassis then another piece that runs down to the cross member , takes some load of the bolts

You should add a connector to the center of the frame. If it is gonna be pulling so hard. And get one of those air bag hitches that will lessen the shock load. The hitch on our 2 1/2 ton farm truck has an x brace from corner to corner.

I’ve just got to say i love that truck. It looks amazing

You guys are awesome, Love your channel. Job well done on the fabricating the hitch

What are your neighbors going to think when they see Spencer's military truck driving down the road with a gravity wagon of corn. Could possibly fill the dump bed too with corn

As first time farmers, you both are killing it!!!! Keep it up.🚜🌽🌽

Spencer you learn new things every day welding is a good thing to learn it will help get you places in the future

Can't wait to see what's next!! Keep Smilin!!!!

Awesome build. Keep up the good work.

It looks like that hitch has failed due to fatigue right on the bottom plate edge that is strengthening the receiver. This is probably due to them welding that plate right up to the edge of the box section, causing a natural failure point. To avoid this type of failure most manufacturers avoid welding right up to edges, also shaping the plates so they spread out the stress more evenly rather than having a hard line. The only concern I would have with your design would be a fatigue crack starting on the main 5x5 box section where the receiver goes through it. This would be due the the main box trying to bend in half, right where the receiver is. However your box section is a lot thicker so you may not get this problem, maybe just check for cracks in this area at the end of the year. Keep up the good work!

That was always my dads idea .. we had a deuce half back in the day … he wanted to haul corn in the dump bed and a 650 bushel wagon behind and net as many bushels as a semi

Spence, nice fab job on the hitch...looks tough as hell!

Never thought I would see my two favorite Iowa farming youtubers do a video together. Fun fact I like about 10 minutes away from Rons farm.

Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing

Sickest grain train on the tube, keep up!

You guys did a beautiful job on that hitch assembly and for your application I dont think there is any such thing as overkill! Very good truck although that little 250 is working pretty hard pulling that load on the road and I would guess stopping had better be well planned when loaded. You have a very good truck for your application not fast but its a good reliable easily repaired truck! Thanks for sharing the video it was interesting!

Love this video keep up the awesome work 👏 👍

thanks for the video. cool stuff

Great video

Great video!!!

the only thing is in some of the shots the welds look cold. I would maybe grind some out and make some hotter passes

you should tie in the hitch straight forward towards the differential and frame in line with the forces

I love it. Now you've just got to paint the truck deer green lol. Great stuff thanks for sharing.

We run a 1991 m932a1. Pulls the hay trailer, the water trailer, the grain trailer, has a wet kit and we put a blade on the front. It is by far the best most useful truck I've ever had.

That military truck is awesome

That's a cool setup

That's pretty sick. You now what could haul more grain is making a door for the dump bed and hauling grain 2 wagons and the truck

DAMMM SPENCER!! THAT HITCH LOOKS HELL BENT FOR STOUT NICE JOB!!

Looking good boys… 2 more identical wagons would be a perfect setup

Love the videos keep it up

Love you guys

Nice job on the hitch

You could extend that frame 6' or 8' and build a grainbox for it

That’s a nice setup

Spencer is a great fabricator. It is a gòod harvest

They truck is pretty cool Spencer.

Hey guys, just stumbled on your channel this evening. Thanks for taking the time to video, video, edit….edit….edit and finally upload/post your videos for the rest of us to enjoy. I noticed how difficult it is to communicate between the driver and passenger while operating the military truck. You can pickup an aviation intercom (used) off of eBay for around $120, you can also find used or new headsets for around $200 each on eBay and Amazon. It’s not cheap but if you want/need to improve communication in the cab, it’s an option. You would only need a 2 person intercom (they make 2 & 4 person models) and you don’t need to buy the super expensive (high end) headsets for what you need so it’s doable. Just a suggestion in case you need the ability to talk without yelling back and forth. Good luck with your farm and stay safe.

I really like the use your getting out f the military truck already.

Love your vid bro ❤

Yo grant and Spencer watching you since day 1 keep it up

Definitely looks good keep up the good work. Why not build up the sides on the truck and haul grain with that to.

Amazing 👌🏼

Yessir! Been waiting for this one! Also why does spencer have a haligan?

I would put a support in the center over the reviver to the crossmember of the truck

That is a cool truck and trailer combo. You probably have done that in Farm Sim at some point. Lol

I think your 6x6 would cool in a woodland camouflage paint job

My uncle has about 200 acers here in South Carolina we farm can't wait to start back

Loving the engineer jokes

Great video Grant from Bryer Floyd

Hitch is a great idea, I would make it even better and get those bolt holes all drilled out to 3/4". It looks like the suspension comes into play, but it would be even better if you could put some kind of truss or brace at the top to eliminate any swing force.

Definately in need of your own bin site. Even a 10000bu bin just to handle the short term storage for corn so you can run late.

Army is a good place for Spencer, he can play with all sort of big trucks. 🤔😆

I think having a few hundred bu in truck bed. You have none of your load weight on the truck. If conditions a bit slick. It could skid the truck. The newer elevators I dump at have one long pit. (For both semi traps) I would think you could dump gravity box, and truck in same pit without moving. So a smaller gravity box, using truck might be a better combo? I really think buying, putting up a @5000 bu dryer bin will make you some money. I see them go at auction cheap. They are easy to move (leave roof, top two rings intact) You no longer are slave to elevator hours. Plus you can sell some of your corn dry. A 5000 bu bin drying would slow your harvest alone. But a batch/continuous flow requires much more investment. That 5000 bu bin could become wet bin, or just extra storage

That's a haligan bar; y'all firemen?

That truck with those trailers is likely a picture in every coop workers phone

Grant, I'd get some devastators on that corn head like CornStar Cole...it really chops the residue up.

This is cool

Think you may need to reweld with 6018's then cover with 7018's the weld looks stacked not enough penetration, .5 material you can go pretty hot..it looks awesome great job

Ron an expert 🤣🤣🤣

I like your videos

Get yourself a California duster for those windows and you won't spray them again to clean them. Best thing ever for dusty windows like a combine and farm tractors.

In the future for welding. Always push the weld away vs pulling it. It will penetrate better and be a lot stronger weld. Otherwise it turned out very nice.

You could throw 100 to 200 bushels in the dump bed of the military truck, you'll be able to get more bushels to the elevator but also it will help with traction in the field

Next year need to build a tail gate for it with a grain door but the tail gate can be ramovable

Grain box on the military truck

Grant you're quite a badass 👍 you both are 🤜🤛

You should put a wall of steel in the back of the military truck and use it as a semi

M817, Cummins NHC250 (855 cubic inches of awesome!). Did a bunch of gravel runs in same truck….air over hydraulic brakes only “scary” aspect with a full load on the road. Did you guys switch out to Dot 5? A visible header tank for the brake system can give some peace of mind (just next to driver seat above dump handle)….a quick mod worth doing (the brake reservoir has an npt plug in the cap to run a line to the header tank). Great post!

Мужик, сделай ему задний борт под установку шнека для заправки сеялок и кузов под размер бункера джона красиво нарости имба аппарат получится. Потом просто в кузов семян навалишь и будешь быстро заправлять сеялки через гидравлический шнек. Иными словами это - универсальный вездеход-зерновоз\заправщик сеялок, можешь еще туда бочку с удобрением поставить в кузов и до полей возить к опрыскивателям. Мб даже в него разбрасыватель или опрыскиватель войдет, колеса, узкие наверно самое то для работы в междурядье кукурузы\подсолнечника + ездит быстро в отличие от трактора

Can you bring a piece from where the pintle was on original cross member down to the hitch maybe help strengthen it a bit more?

Spencer Sure like getting his hands dirty and getting work done

Hey grant I dont know if you know but you can auto adjust that yield monitor on your iPad so it doesn’t show all red, you can change those number so red is 100 and green is 300 and you can have as many numbers in between if wanted

Sweet Deuce and a half

Do y’all plan on getting a grain truck when y’all expand your operation more in the future. If y’all do expand do y’all plan on going big header wise and getting more tractors and equipment around the farm?

What’s coming? A cheap grain cart? A tractor? Maybe a sprayer? Love the videos

How big do you want to eventually expand your farm?

It'll work but just make sure if you have a chance to add any extra side mirrors to cover your blind spot as well cuz when you turning with the trailer you're going to have a blind spot because your blind spot is going to be not on the back of the trailer but in the middle of the war of the truck is that's going to be your blind spot

Like the vids what do you like more Milwaukee or Dewalt

Put a grain door on the back of the military truck and cart corn with it and the gravity wagon

Just gotta customize the dump to haul grain too

For better traction and a better peace of mind. Try filling the bed of that truck up with dirt or some kind of weights to help it get better traction while hauling those trailers up and downhill the hills at the farm!

In the bed of the truck you could probably try and get it line-exd to prevent rust

I probably would weld the ends to keep it from rusting inside out

You need to make a different box gate and fill the truckbox with corn too

Would be a perfect truck with a quad 50 mounted in the back.

You should try hauling grain in the bed of the 5 ton!!!

Just some questions from a guy who have little to no experience farming. I know that you mentioned vertical tilling in the fall so if you were to do that, come spring what would you do to set the seedbed? Also when would you be cultivating versus VT?
