3 Times Out 3 Times Broke Down!! #4 

And no def required 😂

It's had maintenance, theirs a video of chet and Dougo doing maintenance on it lol

@@cw93711 I remember them doing some repairs but Chet clearly said the bearings hadn’t been serviced in thirty years. There is a difference between repairs and maintenance. Regular maintenance reduces breakdowns. If he had put new tires on and done the bearings this most likely would not have happened. He probably spent more money on window tint this year than that rock picker.

Nice profile picture looks nice

@@asquithmainlines699 since I grew up as 5th generation farmer on a large cash crop farm I know the difference. But have you priced tires for something like a rock picker or well any farm equipment other than the regular pickups. You pretty much run them tell they die especially on something like the rock picker that you don't even use every year. You sound like another poster who said you should have several extra tires already mounted for the planter, digger etc, without realizing they they use different sized rims and tires in many cases and the cost involved to have them sit around and age since if you did that they you simply wouldn't have tire problems. And if you want to complain about a lack of a maintenance program on a farm, Larson farms would not be the farm to do so. As for that old rock picker I am pretty sure Chet is hoping it dies, Dougo thinks it's good for another 30 years and others are indifferent to it on the farm. It's had maintenance over the last 30 years. They spend 1 video working on it. I am sure they have some other maintenance that never made the videos since chet started the channel in 2015 and even before the channel was started. I know we didn't take wheel bearing apart to grease them. We waited for them to fail them replaced the bearing on something like that. Only tractors and combines get a ton of preventative maintenance. You also only have so many hours in the day. You have to choose what you are going to work on. Replacing the tire and wheel bearing after it failed on the rock picker cost less then if they replaced the tire with new tires every 7 years when they were to old under federal law. But in the end that tire wasn't 30 years old. No farm tire lasts that long. Tire might be 10 years old or so, but with being stored out side during parts of it's life in Minnesota summers and winters it wouldn't make it 30 years as it would dry rot before that unless it was never used. My families farm was slightly south of theirs but in Wisconsin. So I know the weather very good.

I am very impressed with how they complete the work on their farm. Hey Phil, I'm also very impressed with Australian agriculture.

Canadian here, not quite sure what "old bits of Kit " really means. Think it is from England? Scotland maybe?

Yes, there are always different problems on farms and a farmer needs to learn to accept.

Harvesting sweet corn this weekend. It's a jubilee year for South Texas compared to last year

Need a demo from them for a season

Impressive dimensions anyway. I live in a big city the size of your farm😎
