hello welcome to Kate's Ag today is a super exciting day because
it's my first time ever driving this semi truck
we're going back in there i want you to go along so your trailer is straight when you get on
okay now you're gonna cruise up i think you should just go out
did you hit your ticket when you get off the scale yeah
i can't it's pretty tall but i think i can just cruise on don't don't gas it let it keep
thank you and uh just come out under that little plastic window there oh i see it thank you so much
i think i'm getting a little bit better yeah i want you to pull over here and
stop this right here yeah
and clutch neutral
easy great then when it starts to hook up if it does is it still in neutral no okay that was a
good clutch okay now let's get going step on the ground i kind of see what you're talking
about like when you feel it start to engage what do you think is going on with the coolant
our engine fan might not be kicking in do we need to stop and conrad okay on the other side
yeah why if somebody's coming and you can't make that turn then you wait
you stop and wait until you can because you can't in between
so you want to be out a little bit when you make this right
and then you want to drive it to the other side and just make the road okay soft turn a soft turn
okay keep going now now it's snug up over to the right a little bit
go go go keep going get going start your turn but just a little bit drive over to the other side of
the road and then go accelerate up the hill start accelerating stay right stay right stay right
bring your blanket
uh just over 200 climbed a little more
because you're not moving in the air if the fan's not working we got to be moving um but
i'm a just before the next mark which okay below what um between let's see
210. now it's closer to 220. okay that sounds like the fan kicking
what's the temperature and see if it comes down is it not that i can tell yet temperature moved
down slightly not oh it's coming down yep yeah that kicked in i heard it yeah so that's good
was the fan just not working oh i don't know i feel like i had my best clutch let out
hello dean hey were you getting any high temp warning to this destruct today really
what temperatures wasn't running at i'm just curious
okay well we're getting a warning uh thing i think but we're running you know with warren today but
the band kicked on and where are we at now okay 200. yeah we're sitting at 200 while we're happy
we might uh want to eject the fluid in the radiator before we run this step on it
okay all right see you dean
okay now pull down this is where we got a lot of act we got a truck coming
it yeah right okay now start looking over your shoulder down that road
i don't see anyone okay we'll just let it roll out don't turn yet don't turn now turn
we got an rv clutch yes and break no keep going a little bit
you're blocking the road now okay okay you gotta go go so clutch out
they're both turn i know okay now you've got to go a little long don't go long
see how close your trailer was you got to be digging this all the time
you can't hurry the truck out of the gym until it doesn't
okay look behind you slow down you got a right turn here
go down get up don't have any power break a little bit and then let off going across the guard
you need to be locked okay now you got to carry your turn up to the top of the corner
easy make sure that you you drive the truck over here the trailer follows the truck you
need to drive here if you want your trailer to clear there okay just start getting on it
where's your blinker at get on it
and stay in your lane on the right
clear your mirror about now yep no one stay in this lane drive this lane out
they're in the other lane
yeah he slowed down for me
oh that's never good well that's why you don't want to drive on these rumble strips
when it's 90 degrees out with the tires
the thing about this issue you don't want to have to change
power settings or do anything weird with your truck yeah see something
up in front of you that you don't want to drive fast you got to get over early
yes yeah i was gonna say is that darcy
okay don't drive you know slower than like 15 it's not 15. it was 20.
slow down
long but not square yeah you have to make a judgment cake if you got
nobody coming then you could do it okay you squared off but that's okay you went way wide
by driving what's a headache not not where you're at you need your trailer
if you hear beeping right now in the cab that's because it's a high coolant temp warning and my
dad says if we stay around 200 we're going to be just fine it started coming on kind of
midway through our trip up to united grain and my dad thinks it might have to do with a fan problem
or the low coolant level it's a really really warm montana day it was snowing two weeks ago and now
it's absolutely like 90 degrees so it's just super hot out my dad's going to have this semi checked
out immediately as soon as he can to make sure everything keeps running accordingly on the farm
and we're safe and keep our equipment in good condition yeah as my dad says as good
as he as we can for as old as it is your whole year's work can get hailed out in five minutes
but yet you still have all of all of the overhead costs to grow the crop the seed the fertilizer
and you know the time it took to run uh all of the big equipment and the cost of running the
big equipment but you have no way to pay off your expenses unless you saved when you had a
really good year or you have crop insurance and that helps it helps but you don't have it to the
extent of what you would make on a good drop on a good year just enough to get you by here
turn and then drive point at the road greater straight don't keep that corner look here
keep going step on the gas when we get past my the trailer past my pickup will go out
and turn around and park over there okay
now start angling over here
keep going drive up by the levels you don't want to run the trailer into the trailer right
i'll go straight for a while now turn it in is your trailer clear and everything looks
like it okay yeah now just pull up equal to darcy look at your trailer in your mirror
now straight now right now square up remember i always tell you keep going turn right a little bit
that's good right here clutch
yellow and red yeah okay you got an n in the thing
yep what's our temperature um 205. okay just let it idle for a minute well we made it back
safely isn't that exciting dad yeah that was so much fun and i'm so excited i got to take
you along with me on my first ever semi-truck driving experience okay now my dad and i made
it back to the school house this is my first time ever driving the semi truck i'm absolutely
so excited about it and i just had the best time ever here it's a freightliner this is a little cab
tour it has a bunker double bunker that's why it's so tall on the outside this is our black
semi so if you've seen it in some of my videos that's what i'm driving and it's the other one
that we use two semis mainly and one is the red one and that's one darcy drives and then this is
the other one so i'm really happy i got to drive it today and so thankful my dad took the time to
teach me it's a lot like the tandem truck but it's bigger so you have to kind of lead the trailer and
i'm just learning so much and having a wonderful time i really hope you love the video there's
the school house right there and there's the 15 bins and then there's darcy semi and then the
drill also is over there and that was my first load ever in a semi i kind of did better with
the clutch today so that's an update there the lentils are behind me so maybe i'll show you the
lentils as well the beeping was the water coolant level so i got a notification here and then it was
around 200 so it was okay but my dad's going to check that out and then this is the oil
this is my blinker and but it doesn't pop back like it would in a car where you turn
your blinker you make the turn and then it comes back you have to remember to turn this one off
so sometimes that's a little hard here's the truck brakes and the trailer brakes which are
currently in because i've turned the truck off the key is down here i hope you really
enjoyed this video and comment down below if you want to see me driving more things on the
farm and truck again because i had so much fun so there will be lots of more fun videos to come
so right now i'm going to give you a full walk around tour of our freightliner semi truck it's
black on the outside as you can see and it's got the really high top so with the combines you can't
put your your auger won't clear it and then here's the trailer so it's so much bigger than
a tandem truck and that's the biggest difference is that it's just way bigger and it's got little
clear things so you can see inside here's the lever that i pull the tarp with i find it very
challenging but i'm getting a bit better and this right here is how you empty the truck at the pit
they'll open that right there and this one as well so there's two halves right there
and that's different than the tandem truck also because the tandem trucks box goes up and you
have to do that inside the cab here's the other side and this would be the passenger side of the
freightliner now i'm going to come and show you the lentils because they are looking very good
they're planted right here they're growing up so nicely you did see a crop update recently
but i thought i'd give you another one it's 90 degrees out so they're not looking as good as
they were when it was just raining but they're a little bit taller they won't get super tall
but this is the field right here and then that's the elevator over there and then these are the
grain bins and i'm going to walk back because it's been a very long and awesome day driving
truck this is the handle the people at the pit use and the elevator this will let the weed out into
the pit and this is also how we auger the weed up into the grain bins we have a little hopper
that fits below this it's actually really cool if you want to see the hopper that we have and how we
get this wheat into our grain bins actually these ones here you can watch my grain bin tour video
and it kind of shows you that and it'll drop out and then it'll be augured out and then also that
one as well well thank you so much for watching i really hope you enjoyed this video and had
