1999 Peterbilt 377 3406b CAT Repower! & Crop Report!

What's your favorite Big Rig?

I have been watching the ‘Welker’ family videos for the past few years and as a New Yorker I was not familiar with what farmers did until I went to Vietnam. Let me explain; I was in the Air Force as an Air Cargo Specialist. While in Danang I was a member of a crew that loaded and off-loaded cargo - I was the crew driver: AT's, RT's, 25 & 40K Loaders... All equipment used to load / off load the aircraft at Danang. On our crew we had two ‘farm boys’ Ernie from Minnesota and Vern from Wisconsin that never said never to a difficult and near impossible load no matter what the conditions. As an example, loading a CH47 chopper on a C-133 which had frustrated two other crews or loading a UH1 / Huey on a C-124. Our crew got the job done because that is what Ernie and Vern did, they did the impossible and just got the job done. Your Family constantly reminds me of the ‘can do’ spirit and get the job done no matter what it took, that I learned all those years ago. Thank you for reminding us all what a great country we live in…

I have to give your family credit for working together on these projects! Teamwork!

Blue Pete and New Pete! That’s some awesome shots with the double 🌈.

You all three should be very proud It took the team to do this wonderful Upgrade for the farm

I really enjoyed your video on a Sunday afternoon. We are getting heat in Calgary, Alberta that you do not need. We are coping with the heat. The speeded up video at the beginning was effective showing us what you have done on the Peterbilt. That was impressive.

The millennial farmer just west of Lowery, Minnesota, he is a mile from the farm I grew up on in the 50s and 60s, when his great grandfather was farming that land. Of course now he farms a lot of land in that area plus a lot of land 7 miles south by Starbuck Minnesota. In an interview I saw recently. He makes more money on his YouTube channel. Then he does farming. He always has brand new equipment John Deere, of course, from the implement dealer in Glenwood Minnesota. One of my best friends lives a mile away from him and says he is the real deal. He homeschooled his kids, and now is to oldest are out running the equipment quite a bit, when they get school done with their schoolwork. He is expecting 200 bushel corn and 60 bushel, soy beans. When I was a kid, we had 40 bushel corn, and 20 bushel, soy beans.

appears to be over fueling a bit. Looks great. The team should be proud.

I'm in BC Canada. Another hot summer, forest fires burning, towns being evacuated, a lot of stress. I look forward each week to your videos, educational, comedy, farming, it has a calming effect. Can forget for a bit and just enjoy what is up on the farm. That said the video before rain Nick showing the crop shows just how stressful farming is. Really enjoyed seeing Nick out in the rain just watching it come down with a little bit of hail. Now will watch this one. Thanks for all your time and effort.

Besides your faith in God and country, what I love about you guys is your approach to problems. You don't say "We can't," instead your approach is always "How can we?" And then you do. This project is a perfect example of this. This is exactly what made our country great. God bless.

Welcome to the world Big Blue! May you have an illustrious career, filled with full grain bins, and happy memories!

Been watching you guys for years and just became a channel member. Glad to see the pete done and am hoping and praying for you guys to have a good crop.

I'm certain that I heard Gretta screaming and crying during the reveal as that Cat was rolling the coal. Haha. Another awesome build by the Welker family. Great job to each of you!!

Ive been following this channel for few years now, never have seen country side green like that, I'm from Australia it can be one giant dust bowl at times.

Call the truck "Blue Thunder "

The truck and trailer looks great. You have to put the Welker badge on it to make it proper.

My vote, call it Bob.

Welkers you need to take a bow, she's a beautiful truck. It brought a smile to my face to see her rollin coal. A fantastic group effort. Cant say enough good things about her. You could call her cheep,cheep blue truck.

It's got those lines down the side, i'd call it Blue Streak. Good looking rig, and the trailer fits it perfectly! But Greta won't be pleased with all that black smoke... 😆

It's been four years since I first subscribed to the channel and there's always been a drought. I can't believe how green everything looks!!!
