Filling the NEW Shed with Machinery!! - The Semi Was DEAD Again 

Go watch Cole the Cornstar. He has a number of videos like that.

@@KevinBenecke we want to see Zach do it...

All he does in the winter is that stupid snowmobiling bull shit

while it would be interesting to follow, it would require it be fairly generic. Plus, it would be quite nosy into private business.

@@KevinBenecke His channel sux.

Do you only have 3 batteries like he does I’ve been driving truck for 14 years now and the only trucks I’ve ever seen with 3 batteries are farmer trucks we all run 4 batteries but up here in Canada we need more cold cranking amps than the southerner’s lol

Gear reduction starters are a game changer.

@@joeynagy8657 ours have 4. Semis are such a nightmare though especially in the north

Gear reduction starters take less power to get them to start turning but they use same amps and voltage afterwards as old style starter do. Have to be careful how many amps to feed gear reduction starters can't put four 1000amp batteries to them. Most trucks today have only 3 batteries in them now. Seen few with only 2 batteries that where from southern states. Peterbilt postal trucks in my area have 2 batteries. Junk battery cables to starter can make them crank slow at first too. Use to be ran 2 pos and 2 neg cables to starter but only they use bigger cables so it 1 of each going to starter now

@@joeynagy8657 I had a 1996 T600 only three batteries, converted it to four and that fixed all the starting issues.

Good thought, check the ground path while your at it.

The Delco Remy 39MT’s would work great for this fix. Those older 42mt’s that used to come on the old Cats and Cummins were monsters, not only in power draw, but physical weight.

Or hook the meter up and start pulling fuses.

By my mechanic ear I would agree the starter on that truck is super weak. A nice gear reduction would make that thing start way better

Also check voltage drop on cables to batteries

How about thermo tape as used in water pipes with an insulation blanket to retain the heat around the hydraulic reservoir???

@@JohnSmith-yv6eq they make band heaters for tanks of all sorts, but I'm sure they used low temp hydro fluid so if it's not much faster in the summer then no need.

Bad starter

That pump still opens the door in under a minute when the temp is in the single digits. I've done it!

@@MillennialFarmer ya, - keep it simple

hello how are you doing

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist4hey pal, I’d greatly appreciate if I didn’t see anymore of these “repent to god” messages, I love you, but stop.

But be careful early on, the steering on the truck will trip you up trying to move stuff around hitched up to the front.

Or drill a hole in skidsteer forks so you don't even need to mess with getting the hitch attachment. I made a ball with a longer threaded end and drilled a hole to pin it in fork to move ball hitches around.

@@jonfehr5950 I've seen that done way too many times with forklifts. In reality it does two thing: 1, significantly weakens the tip of the tine 2, gives you a really wobbly poorly placed hitch point that's a pain to use. AKA that hitch attachment is a way better and safer option, especially when it's so quick to change on the skid steer.

hello how are you doing

yes, I was also impressed with his massive warehouse

I probably need to replace them and add a 4th battery

@@MillennialFarmer Adding a battery helped me because I just needed a little more umf sometimes. However you are coming up with completely dead batteries which I don't understand: maybe like Jeff said it is the cables in between so that you are really only starting on one battery.....

hello how are you doing

I used these when I was pregnant. Life saver in the winter!

hello how are you doing

You ain’t diggin’ the pink?

hello how are you doing

"OR YOU WILL BE SORRY " LOL

hello how are you doing

That's going to have to wait we are frozen solid!

Nothing like mice in the tractor wiring.

hello joshua how are you doing

Yes I am a private pilot but I'm not current at the moment

hello how are you doing

I'm going to try to add some of that without making it too boring

Nice to see that the shed is finally built can’t wait too see all done an equipment in

Yes, and installing manual disconnects on the negative post to the frame, of all your equipment will save them from discharging due to a parasitic draw. On the negative side because there is no path for the parasites to flow. (if you know what I mean) Try it on the pink truck. I'm betting you will have batteries for years, rather than months.

hello how are you doing

hello steve how are you doing

That's what she said...

That's been brought up many times in the past.

Yea I am sure the structural engineer's at Butler have zero clue about what they design.

I thought the same at first then after reading your comment I noticed braced frames along the back wall and each stud has over half a dozen cross members so its actually pretty solid build, just seems weird not seeing any large steel colums or steel braced frames. To build a massive storm proof building probably be too expensive for the insurance company.

I'm sure the building is solid and well designed. There are thousands of such buildings erected in the US that are plenty strong. I think the main concern would be having that door open during severe winds. If Zach can get a wind speed sensor linked to his SimpliSafe network, I would do that and tie that into a phone alert to close the door if it is open.

The main shop is exactly like that building except it’s smaller and finished on the inside. Same brand and everything.

@Millennialfarmermediateam Hi Zack and family I am a apple grower in Tasmania Australia In a small town called Geeveston. My family has been growing apples here since 1845 Yes you would think we would know better by now. I have been watching your channel for a long while now and you have sometimes kept me going and the term Keep it between the rows has a lot of different meanings when farming in the financial and political climate we are in these days I have been in community service clubs and my industry body associations and now I give insight to the Australian horticultural and Enervation on R&D and finance. I have also had the pleasure of helping to setting up a post graduate scholarship at the university of Tasmania that has been running now for 17 years. Me Dad passed away in 2016 in the middle of the apple season, of which I told him he wasn’t allowed to do 🤪 but friends came and ran my harvest whilst I arranged Dad’s funeral. I will never forget that, a mate just rang up and said I am finished for a wile and can I help, Well what can you say after you stop crying but yes and thank you. You’re donations and exposure to a similar course is to be commended I have the same blunt view on similar topics and I don’t hold back when I am asked to speak on the media. People just know to take cover now because they know what is coming. But I continue to be invited to speak so I haven’t upset everyone yet. Most people are to frightened to tell the truth as it is. Now what the hell is going on with nitrogen in the US It is starting to make traction in Australia and I have been trying to get them when making their calculations on were zero is to take into account we’re we have come from and what we use now compared to the past. I take into account the nitrogen in the rain and clover in the rows when doing our fertiliser program for the year. Any way I will stop there as I could go on for ever. Love the channels love seeing you your sun and Dad farming and dealing with whatever is thrown at you Regards John Ps the same thing happen to us at the same time it is spooky 👍 Keep it between the rows
