Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture. With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture.

The o-rings are undersized and allow the connector to wiggle very slightly. New slightly larger o-rings stabilize it and fix the problem almost 100% of the time. Alcohol and/or hydraulic fluid can make the o-rings fail faster.

@JB-xc5ji Год назад

I have heard it could also be a software issue. Commonly the voltage goes out of range for just a split second and the computer alerts to the first issue with the sensor. I wonder if delaying the fault code appearing would fix most of the issues as the problem would fix itself quickly.

@busterbriley2119 Год назад

Zack, after watching you have so many problems with connectors I have my two cents to throw in. Having worked in the oil industry which involved many connectors may I suggest to you to check the spring retention of the sockets in the connector. Measure the diameter of the pin and find a drill bit that fits and use it to gauge the socket.s by feel. Sockets will get loose and cause intermittent issues.

@bradyromenesko9127 Год назад

Pin drag test, can also get pins from the dealer I’m sure to use instead of a drill bit

@busterbriley2119 Год назад

That is true, we almost always had the corresponding connector kit with pins. But if not improvise and farmers know how to improvise.

Used to use Dow Corning in the oil fields on our RCV's, guess they call them ROV's nowadays, connectors and rarely had any issues. Now granted the connectors were not plastic but rather stainless steel which is not affected as much as plastic due to temperature changes.

@rodbiddle8707 Год назад

A trick to inflate a de-beaded tire: lift the tire off the ground and wrap a tensioning strap around the circumference of the tire in near thread center position. Tighten the tensioning strap to move the tire beads to mate with the rim. When the tire starts to accept air, then loosen the tensioning strap and continue inflating. I have personally used ratcheting load straps as the tensioning strap. This technique has been used tires upto semi-truck tires. This technique should work on larger tires, but may need logging chain f and binder for tensioning strap.

A good idea that you should try is during the off season pull apart the connections, clean them will contact or electronic cleaner and apply some dielectric grease to them. That prevents moisture and dirt from getting in them.

@adamfriemoth7186 Год назад

My new 24 row works as bad as his mechanic told me not to put dielectric grease on because it reads .6 to 1 volt and grease throws it off. Also he apologized before I planted first seed because he knew it wouldn't work for me and I was going to be upset.

@carolinafarming5331 Год назад

I usually put the grease around the seal area of the connectors and not the pins themselves. Helps keep dust and moisture out. Not as good as greasing the pins but it works.

@TheDAMASCUSSMITH Год назад

A few years ago I was running a "Yellow" machine. We were having lots of connector problems. I found a unique spray can that all but eliminated the intermittent connector problems. Look into and get yourself a can of DeoxIT Series cleaner / lube from CAIG. The connectors we had were gold contacts so we got the lube specifically for gold, but I have used both kinds they offer with amazing results. Also, with custom created pin connectors, sometimes the pins are not completely seated into the housing and just push back out of the connectors when screwed together. this causes intermittent signals. You need to open the back of the connector and fully seat the pins. I wish you continued good luck.

Strap is a good idea (have used it on tubeless aircraft tires). To make it easy to remove when the tire starts to inflate simply set the handle so that it is close to the release point and then as the tire fills, just slap on the handle and the ratchet will release, which allows to tire to keep on filling.

This isn't storm damage, it's unreliable connector design.

@@ke6gwf When you get that much rain water on the electrical components your going to experience problems. Do you know anyone that leaves their planter out in the rain when their not using it?

@@michaelpasold5083 lots of people leave their planters in the rain and snow 24/7. Not everyone has sheds to park stuff in, especially when you get to the really large sizes of planters. It can also start raining while you are in the fields, and they get pressure washed off from time to time. If John Deere is making a Planter with electronics that will fail because of a few days in the rain, that's a SERIOUS design flaw. So as I said, whether it's moisture damage in the connector or mechanical failure in the connector, it's supposed to be a heavy duty vibration resistant industrial waterproof connector, and it's not doing its job, thus it's an unreliable connector design. And the fact that one of the sockets was physically out of position shows its a connector issue, because rain would cause corrosion, not a socket out of position. And again, a good connector would not get rain into it, and would not corrode or short out even if it did get rain into it, so this is a John Deere design issue, and not because it got some rain on it.

Your Dad's license plate kills me every time. I am sure that is a sought after plate in MN too, must have had it for decades!

@rich077140 Год назад

Used to not have personalized plate there. The plate stayed with the vehicle when sold. I remember as a kid from Illinois my dad looking at cars in Minnesota. I always said somebody owns it there's plates on it lol
