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. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

I am so glad I found your channel. I grew up on a small farm on the eastern side of Wisconsin. I used to help my Dad with planting corn for many years. Nothing as sophisticated as what you have. I think we planted 6 rows at a time. My Dad ran the tractor with the planter and I ran the truck with the seed bags and fertilizer. After Dad would fill up on both I would drive the truck down the lane to the next fill up spot. Then I’d lay out on the bags and work on my farmer tan.

One of ours came back from a work shop, next day went on a long trip where little civilisation and it started roaring the engine and going fast by itself then going slow over and over. The mechanic on the phone saying it should clear. Did settle….for a bit. At the end of the day went totally mad, blew masses of smoke, up and down the speed….by itself, no control. Blew up the engine. Sitting on the side of the road at 39*c, no water.

@gloworm95 2 года назад

As a retired engineer I have a few thoughts; first, one bad sensor shouldn’t be able to stop the whole operation. You should be able to take that sensor “ out of scan “ and continue planting one less row or there may be a problem with the program itself. Secondly, it appears the sensors/transducers may not be heavy built enough to withstand the environment they’re in-- heat or vibration. I plant and sell an acre of sweet corn every year using my 2 row 3pt Ford 309 planter. No GPS. No sensor. Works great. Good luck.

Last year we had only 2 weeks or less opportunity to plant. So we went like hell the first chance we got, got all the corn planted. Then it ass pounding rained 2 inches in like an hour. Broke over everything, washed dirt everywhere. Made it a huge mess. Also yeah we enjoy listening to you talk to yourself. That's basically what you do lol 😆.

You may have already done this but check where the planter plugs into the tractor and make sure its tight and no mud has worked its way in there. Sometimes bouncing around and turning can pull on that plug and make a loose connection, and check the plug itself and make sure it didn't get damaged in the storm, a little crack can cause big problems.

I would not be surprised with the rain+wind it got exposed to if a weatherpacking failed in a connector somewhere and there is some nice blue and green crusties causing a voltage drop to ground that's confusing the sensors. That 5V undervolt is a great indicator of it. Or a wire somewhere got damaged in the tornado, perhaps internally without insulation and there is an intermittent connection. And hunting that down takes time and isolation. And time... time is certainly not on your side :(

@TheElectricgamez 2 года назад

that's sounds logical. I do think that the strom caused damage somewhere where it isn't easy to spot or diagnose

@jazzerbyte 2 года назад

I agree - this is exactly what it sounds like. This type of thing is also likely to be intermittent which also takes longer to troubleshoot. Thinking pie in the sky: It would be interesting if connectors could have auto diagnostics by measuring standing waves generated by the regular interface. A trouble code "connector 42 is intermittent on red-white striped wire" would be easier to find.

Judging by the other error thrown about not getting enough voltage on the 5v line, I suspect you might be right.

@cojones8518 2 года назад

Weird intermittent codes like that are almost always wiring related. Look for a power feed or ground that is shared between the sensors. Something might have gotten stretched or mashed in the wiring harness when the shed fell on it.

@@bzs187 We thought we were in high cotton when we progressed to an IHC "air flow" planter - which was the precursor to the machines of today. Made one hell of a whistling sound as it was pushing seed by air pressure from the seed tank. And even higher cotton when you went from a 4-row to an 8-row planter!

We traded our johndeere planter for a horsch maestro 4815 split row planter. We can plant at 8 to 10 mph and do 30 inch corn and 15 inch beans with the same planter . The horsch is simple and reliable and was cheaper than a new johndeere. I'm not brand biased as we run case/ johndeere equipment both have strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully things go better for you guys!

@sgsellsit 2 года назад

I agree with some on here. With all the moisture y'all have experienced this year and the impact that planter took from the roof falling on it while rain was being driven at 100 mph, I bet connections have corroded or sensors got waterlogged. With the impact and all the movement that planter makes I also wouldn't put it past a pinched or partially separated conductor somewhere that makes intermittent contact which would involve a continuity test on every conductor. You could do that with a multimeter. I would definitely get some electronic contact cleaner and some dielectric grease unplug every wire and sensor and clean the connections and coat them. You could always bypass in parallel the bad sensor with a few wires from a sensor that is working next to it. The computer will not know the difference. All it sees are connections. The downside is if it does stop planting you won't know. They should install a system or diagnostic that lets you hook directly to that one row and run through all the motors, sensors, belts etc. Good luck.

@clobenstine 2 года назад

I'm probably late to the game, but I've had the same issue on my exactemerge. It ended up being the seed bowl itself. The tension on the seed bowl was set too heavy and the motor was not strong enough to spin the meter. After backing off the tension, the problem went completely away. If you end up keeping the planter, try putting dielectric grease in all the dowforce sensor harness connector plugs and then put heat shrink tube over the plug. That has worked well for clearing up downforce sensor issues.

@itzenboy 2 года назад

Hate to see all the problems you are having. We have ran a 16 row 1255 Case planter for 8 seasons now. We wouldn’t change brands for anything. Simple and easy to use, and with a lead disc it’ll cut through heavy soil and residue a lot easier and with less down pressure than a true-v system. Only thing we don’t like is Case’s monitors. They lack behind others.

@SlyFoxl 2 года назад

Im a cnh lad but im not locked to em. Theire overall good machines and our local dealer (which is most important imo) is great. But yea cnh has been lacking on interior and the monitor.

Zach, far too many problems with modern planter tech. You are displaying outstanding patience with the many concerns.

Also, we were happy with 150 bu/A corn.
