Lance goes farming

Arc weld · Jun 21, 2017

Looks like Lance AKA ChuckE2009 is getting out of welding videos and is going farming. Bought a house a couple years ago. Has a Kubota tractor and says it cost him about 70K to get set up and he got the money from his welding video's. Looks like he made out like bandit with his video's and he never had any formal welder training. He got a lot of help from people like Shield Arc though. Never would have guessed he would have made out so good. Apparently he got a lot of negative comments but if he's making that kind money, who cares. LoL

Watched his video today... not sure it will be a fun to watch him now but wish him the best... he said he was following his passion. I thought the shop was it... but maybe he just wants to enjoy an comfy air conditioned cab in a new tractor!

I might be mistaken:confused2:, but I seem to remember Lance went to the Hobart welding school.

I recall he went to school too.

Still don't like his videos for the most part - but I wish him well anyway of course.

I liked to watch his welding videos occasionally but I don't think I'll watch him driving in circles mowing hay, kinda like NASCAR in slo-mo. I'd rather do the mowing than watch it. I hope he's successful though.

I thought he went to that welding school in Georgia that was at one time a sponsor (maybe still is). I know he said something about getting home from welding school in at least one of his videos and talked about some of his welding school experiences.

I haven't watched these latest farming/tractor videos though.

I have learned a lot from his videos since starting welding this last March, and his videos have also made my bank account smaller with some of the things I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise, kind of like this site.

Nah, farming is only an excuse, he only bought the tractor and implements so he would have something else to weld on.

OK. I'll admit it. I did watch his newest video this morning. He bought a well used bailer and it self destructed after a few hours.

I watch his welding videos and now his farming videos. He will learn after a while. Stuff happens.

My pastor's son-in-law about a month ago was going to bale hay on Sunday. Went to get the baler. Didn't get the first bale tied. The bearing on the knotter froze. When they put the baler up last year everything was greased up and ready to go. I'm still laughing about it. His grandfather would not hit a lick on Sunday. His dad does. Didn't get much done.
