00:00 hello welcome to Kate's Ag today i'm
00:02 taking my dad for a ride in the baler
00:19 dad's in the baler with me now so he
00:21 wants to come and take a ride have you
00:23 ever ridden in a baler before
00:25 no
00:26 do let's just drive around like this
00:42 are you mad at the traffic cars today
00:44 this is the hydraulic to put the
00:47 baler in the ground and then up
00:50 this is speed
00:53 these are the arrows i get when i need
00:54 to move over this way
00:58 and see these lines you want to keep
00:59 them even
01:01 all my lollipops are up so this
01:04 if those yellow things aren't all up a
01:07 piece of twine has come out and any and
01:09 you need to re-put it in this box if
01:12 it's blinking black and white you need
01:14 to go a bit faster because the plunger
01:16 isn't plunging the leaves but also you
01:18 don't want to go too fast 102 inches is
01:20 what the bale length is set to
01:23 this bale that it's baling right now it
01:25 is probably
01:27 it's okay is that as long as they're
01:29 pretty even is that 60 inches out of the
01:32 102 then it'll come off this is my bale
01:35 camera
01:36 to watch the bales come off
01:38 where's your speed 5'3 yeah two inches
01:42 is how big the leaves are the flakes of
01:45 the bay 1003 is what the last bale
01:48 weighed
01:49 and 1056 is the average it's tying the
01:52 knot
01:53 so now this new since a bale just
01:55 dropped off it's now created 17 inches
01:59 of the next bale yeah
02:07 so this is my pressure psi thing of like
02:10 how how do you tell you how to turn that
02:12 if i want to stop i can just slow down
02:14 and hit the brake like that
02:17 is this true this is your transmission
02:19 it just smoothly slows down yeah i don't
02:21 pull this at all and then
02:23 this covers so much speed and this is
02:26 for slow speed yeah
02:28 this is my rpms are always high this is
02:30 my pto oh these were my hazards i turned
02:33 them on this is my pto you can feel these
02:36 things fret and
02:38 stamp every time yeah so i have to let
02:41 the baler go all the way through and
02:42 then i'll lift it
02:44 well this is your next row here yeah
02:49 so you gotta go up there to catch him
02:51 these are pretty fun to run katie you
02:53 can just keep going around and around do
02:55 you mean just catch the next pass over
02:58 like cross the coulee and catch the next
03:01 one
03:02 headed west yep
03:04 thank you
03:06 i think you need to go
03:09 you got all your lollipops
03:12 just keep driving
03:13 see it says i need to go way over
03:16 it does say that but i have to tell you
03:17 to tell here okay remember we cut this
03:19 in about three different pieces you know
03:22 as these edges come together that's a
03:25 piece
03:26 so i wonder if i should start down the
03:28 middle that's your pass right there
03:31 oh see it i just dropped a bale there
03:33 right in your pass
03:35 that thing almost looks like it's
03:36 working opposite i know it was confusing
03:39 at first
03:40 i can stop at the end of this and you
03:42 can try well i can drive
03:50 it's funny you get this wave action from
03:52 the press and the baler you know yes
03:55 it's like loping your horse along kinda
03:58 tied another knot
04:05 it's nice to have this picture because i
04:06 didn't understand how the baler worked
04:08 and what i was picking up and setting
04:09 down so this must be the plunger
04:11 creating the leaves i guess
04:14 yeah they are hilarious on the radio
04:17 this is heavy heavy straw it's telling
04:20 me to move more right
04:23 and it might have the sensors on where
04:25 the baler is and not what we're seeing
04:27 in the front of the tractor
04:30 now i'm going through another so
04:31 i'm going to slow down and walk the
04:33 tractor through it i want to drive
04:35 around here and go this is Kate's row
04:37 here
04:40 oh look at all the bales that's pretty
04:42 cool
04:49 i can't believe how much it gets well
04:51 there was a lot of straw okay make no
04:54 mistake it's nice to learn how to drive
04:56 this well you've done a lot more
04:57 ubaling than we can but i'm not sure i
05:00 need to do any bales how many balers are
05:02 in this field two Ron and i okay now
05:04 here's one of these deals
05:06 where you have to peel the
05:08 edge off oh am i doing that i would you
05:11 have to graze right by that bale oh a
05:14 bird
05:15 i think you're already way too far
05:17 turned up 74 inches of that bale is done
05:20 so far
05:22 i wonder where my next take the one
05:24 coming back no just
05:27 i think you need to move this over even
05:29 though that says
05:31 whatever
05:32 this thing goes up and just
05:35 and then take this one back
05:38 take that down probably see what i
05:40 said Kate when you turn
05:43 i should do that again
05:45 the baler is coming inside because
05:48 it's just like the trailer the reason
05:49 you have to go along on the trailer you
05:51 have to go a little bit long on this
05:53 to lead it
05:55 up through the pile
05:58 now trun and go over here
06:00 that's a rock i know that
06:03 i did do another corner and pick up
06:06 the straw left behind
06:09 start your baler down
06:12 roll out that way
06:14 stay this way a little bit until your
06:15 baler gets behind now now center up
06:19 so it doesn't skip this outside corner
06:21 no go this way
06:23 you said center up
06:24 well
06:25 you know
06:26 on this center up
06:28 you're gonna have now
06:30 you know you gotta kind of run down the
06:32 middle maybe float around
06:47 always stay to the outside of the thing
06:49 just a little bit because your baler is
06:51 going to turn and track the inside of
06:53 this tractor
06:55 i didn't get all that corner either
06:57 that's because you're not carrying the
06:58 baler over the straw you're just turning
07:01 with the tractor you gotta kind of get a
07:03 feeling for where this thing's gonna be
07:05 behind you okay
07:08 you're gonna start leading the baler
07:10 like you do the drill
07:11 if the corners this way now i don't know
07:13 where to go i really messed that up
07:17 no you didn't
07:18 well what we did is kate and turned
07:20 around and went back up here
07:22 you're gonna have to drive through a
07:24 couple of these around the corner
07:26 you can pick up this thing and just go
07:28 that way
07:29 because i think he picked
07:31 the insid or lead in or something
07:34 he's working on a whole go down here and
07:35 pick this up go around that corner too
07:40 it doesn't matter where you go this has
07:42 to be picked up so you might as well
07:43 grab it along the edge of that thing
07:46 i mean it'd just be easier you know what
07:47 i mean
07:48 yeah instead of trying to do tractor
07:51 gymnastics with the baler
07:52 track your gymnastics with a baler
07:55 remember always go to the outside of the
07:58 corner a little bit
07:59 you know because the baler is going to
08:01 cut inside of where you're at Kate
08:04 so you'll want to drive
08:06 carry the baler up and out nope up more
08:10 now drop back into your pass and
08:13 your baler will follow better that way
08:16 remember it's behind you not where
08:17 you're at if you if it was where you
08:20 were at it'd be different but it isn't
08:21 it's behind and when you turn
08:23 it goes to the inside whatever that is
08:27 like that kind of a little bit yeah you
08:29 might be over emphasizing this action
08:31 here but yeah
08:32 and then these we just peeled off back
08:35 and forth for
08:36 for some reason you know what i mean
08:38 because of this coulee was
08:41 um
08:41 i didn't want the cart going through it
08:50 make this grazing turn you know i mean
08:55 smooth yeah
08:56 because this is not good on your drills
08:58 you'll pick that up
09:00 and then uh
09:01 it'll plug behind your your tank you're
09:04 gonna take me over to my pickup or
09:05 you're gonna torture me in the tractor
09:07 for a while well i thought i'd take this
09:09 pass over to your pickup
09:12 you have to go kind of on the outside of
09:14 this gate to get your baler over the top
09:16 of the top up and the swath
09:19 now go back in
09:23 drive the baler not the tractor
09:25 ok off we zoom ok
09:26 well you know i mean
09:28 just because i said zoom doesn't mean
09:30 you can do it no this tells you how to
09:33 do it i have to have a black thing do
09:36 you remember harvesting this field dad
09:38 yes
09:40 that's how i know what's going on with
09:42 these swaths
09:44 you know you don't think about it till you
09:46 get there but yeah is it fun to have
09:48 been in the combine leaving the straw
09:50 rows and now in the baler picking them
09:52 up oh yeah having super fun
