hello welcome to Kate's Ag right now i am roading my combine to the next field
we actually roaded the combine from a different field to this field finished this field today
because it wasn't that big and we're going to the next one now and we also finished another field
before this one and they're just small fields we've got all three combines going which is
awesome my combine did have a couple of problems but i wasn't driving it for the past couple days
i've been driving my dad's combine so when you're in a different combine different things go on
and then today i switch back to my combine because all three are going and i heard this noise by my
feet and it's like someone took a big basket of grain and dropped it on the floor and you
can hear all the kernels hitting the floor that's what it sounded like by my feet and i didn't know
what was going on i told my dad and uncle chris and they didn't think anything was going on they
thought i was just hearing the grain auger back here spew out the grain into my tank but i knew
something was going on so my dad took a round and it was just a plate that wasn't in properly and
then the noise ended up stopping so that's really good and i wasn't sure what was going on because
i heard it right from the minute i started driving my combine this morning and i hadn't heard it last
time i was driving my combine so i didn't really know oh wow this is a small road going to do
a little bit of a big turn here it looks like my dad's going into the field right now
we're going to start this part of a field that's kind of on a hill
i'm stuck between gears right now so my combine won't move i'm stuck between
where i have the gears on the on the head it's got a couple of hoses going through it
and just mounted to the side of the to the left side of the the head bracket mounting
bracket that mounts it to the side of the head you can see that it's kind of getting
my dad's leaving the wheat swath to go see what happened uh wobbles a little but it's okay
combine back and forth but don't go into gear
it went into gear the reason my dad's saying that is because when we moved to this field i
got the gear shift stuck and i forgot on the road to switch it back into second gear so
i'm coming up on this decently steep hill and i'm trying to shift gears in a turn
it didn't go over very well i got it stuck between two gears and jim had to come and help me
and what happened was i ended up backing rolling down the hill a bit shifting it and got it to go
again but it was a little bit of an interesting experience and slightly scary because i definitely
don't want to just be stuck on the side of a hill with my combine now we're going to our ground
that's on a hill which i actually harvested my first year combining now this one's a little bit
tough most of the places in this field you'll have to stop to unload in the green cart there's a lot
of coolies a big hill and if you're going up this hill you cannot make it up the hill with a full
tank of grain so that's something to look out for also my dad's combine's in front i'm in the middle
it looks like jim's following behind and then our green cart should be headed up here with us
too soon he might be unloading in the truck right now we've just been getting the small fields right
now it looks like we're going to start the field down here these swaths don't look huge but it's
hard to tell until you get into them that's the field we're going into and that's my dad's combine
oh i better put it back in second here this time before i forget which it just went into second
what do you want to call that on the bin or paperwork
machine down put the back in the thrashing part which separates the grain kernels from
the chaff and covering put the header in and then rabbit speed which idles it up
rabbit speed is operating speed for this combine there's not much wheat here the swaths were a
lot better in the last couple of fields we're in now this is the first couple of rows it looks
like it might get a little bit better but it's not great here dad just got out of the combine
i think there was like a bar in his wheat swath or something crazy he was holding up a metal bar
this is what it looks like from the top of this
i'm just going to unload in the green car so that i don't have a full tank going down this hill here
i don't want to take anything out till the combines get passed and all they're done
i put my auger back and now i have to swing around here make sure i don't hit the green
car and then head down this steep steep hill i'll go back here and grab my wheat swath i'm
turning my header on and everything to get going down the hill we definitely would not
want to be going down this with full tanks of grain like right now i am leaning so far forward
and my combine is very tilted it does it's not a good feeling in combine maybe
my head or something keeps back feeding so i'll catch that after lunch supper
my dad's header keeps back feeding he said that it probably has dirt in it with running
the headers this low on the ground to get the pretty much non-existent wheat you can catch a
lot of dirt and other things it looks like dinner just got here so i'm pretty excited about that
to get out and stretch my legs when you get to where mark quit crossover and pick up that rope
no i wouldn't ever do that that's the reason i like this is because they got a bunch of uh dirt
in the head or something at this ground there i'm in the back combine you just keep going down there
kate i'll pick that up okay thank you i think people thought i was in jim's combine because
i was the middle combine and then while jim was unloading in the green car i got up and stretched
my legs so then he went in front of me and we kind of changed the order here before dinner
brad go right into that fence post looking thing there's the metal bar
fence post that was in dad's wheat sloth that he had to pull out of there
which is why he got out of the combine and he just told the green cart not to run into it
there are case combines over there harvesting in that field i think they're custom cutters
there's the case green cart and it's really cool it has these triangular wheels which are actually
professionally called tracks and it's just super cool we are on the field with the really really
big hill that you cannot get up or down with a loaded tank it's super scary we're on the seat
part right now i'm a little bit nervous to go down it i did this field my first year ever harvesting
full-time when i was 15 which was two years ago you have to just be really careful my dad had
made sure to radio to me to put it in first gear it's the scary part is you become so tilted in
the combine feels like your whole combine's going to topple over i don't know if you can
tell but the angle i'm at is really steep and this is probably one of the steepest parts of
it right here that i'm doing well i made it down the really steep part now i'm just on a
slight angle and have a couple more rolling hills to go over oh gosh i made it through
the sky is really beautiful right now and my dad just took this row right here in front of me
we're ending after this round but it just looks gorgeous though you can kind of see the weather
coming it is supposed to rain tomorrow but the skies look really cool at the top of the hill here
so i wanted to show you i'm going over to unloading the green cart brad you could have
just stayed where you were i need to unloading you i'm just trying to straighten out okay thank you
i'm unloading in the green cart right now beautiful out just spectacular
brad watch just waiting for me and kate right at the bottom of of
this row here we'll dump in you and then you can put it all in
maybe i'm pretty sure it won't overfill me oh you know i don't even see any weed in your car
no you'll be okay it's a really cool case green cart oh my gosh look at that it has
tracks and everything wow that's cool here is the sunset it's absolutely gorgeous this evening
it's around 9 00 pm and we're ending for the night so thank you so much for watching today's video
