After spending $5,000, and waiting a month, the last of our farm’s planter parts came in. Are we going to be able to get the planters back together in time for planting season? The 340 also propped up a few starting problems after we changed fuel filters. Will we be able to get it started? Let’s find out!

  1. Best price for insurance isn't always the best thing for your country aka companies owned by know communist Marxist socialist like sors who are actively seeking to destroy the US , why would anyone fund that.

  2. Seems Cooper wants less screen time. I can understand after people in the comments were so caustic to him due to the dog situation. Plus, people get tired of constant on video time.

  3. I watch a few other farmers who work on their equipment only when it breaks, usually in the field. That's not what you want to happen. And with them, it happens a lot.

  4. It is really nice to see a young man with such drive and enthusiasm who at a young age shows so much maturity in understanding what really matters. It is a pleasure to watch all of your family work together to achieve the best you can get from your equipment ( it don't come cheap☺) and making it as good as it can be.
    Hope your planting and harvest, which I am positive will reflect your diligence, is fruitful and prosperous.

  5. On the cutting wheels of the planters, can you save the wheels you remove and try to pair them- each wheel being very close to the same size, and replace them as pairs? I would imagine those are among the fastest wearing parts since they are always in contact with the soil. What a drill- 16 or this and 24 of that, an hurry, please! Hope you get some of the bin site problems fixed- new season, new crops, new need for the bins. DC scared the crud out of me, on of those trips up top to check the grain levels. I thought farm work was all law pressure, easy days; guess not- more like herding; just about the time you think to catch a breath, half your herd need shots for some new thing you've never heard of and the other half need sorting! Never a dull moment. and keep up the "farm business" reports- that is very instructive- I also do a couple of sites that are about international shipping; it really has brought home why your fertilizers and such have got so expensive. No, not simple at all.

  6. Maybe y’all did this, but that tractor has what is called a high pressure common rail fuel system and you have to turn the key on an let the fuel pump run until it shuts off. I usually repeat the process about three or four times and it fires right up.

  7. You're a corn flake, not a cornstar with a start to video like that.
    You did basic maintenance to your planters is what your saying.

  8. If those blades are supposed to be the same diameter all the way around you might want to take them to a machinist or get your own metal lathe and turn them to match. They are wearing unevenly.

  9. Prescription tillage stp tru v blades – clarinda iowa … Google it … they work! Becks pfr showed positive roi with them .. especially for cutting through corn stalks ..way better than standard truv blades

  10. I am curious. Does rental farm land receive the same investment concern for soil fertility as does your privately held farm ground? I am renting farmland and if I raise rent, would there still be incentives to improve soil fertility?
