hello welcome to Kate's Ag today we are seating so
that's super exciting and i'm going to take you along with me
the skies are beautiful today
hi darcy how you doing i'm great thank you how are you the sky's really pretty today
darcy said he can do 40 acres an hour
so this tube you can move to all the different tanks to fill them up so lentils fertilizer and
inoculant how often do you have to fill it up every three or four hours okay
so these are green lentils
so darcy and i are just getting out into the field now after filling the tanks with more lentils now
does this tractor have auto shift yeah and then uncle chris is in the roller what's your favorite
part about seating with this tractor and drill well i looks like everything i'm used to this one
i've read the other one too for a few years but you know i like this inventory i'm used to it i
know how to set it up and stuff that's awesome how long is the drill this year is 62 feet 62 feet wow
so 2.2 pounds of inoculant yeah and 65 pounds of lentils and 19 pounds of fertilizer per acre how
often would you say you get a plugged hose that's good if you turn sharp you might get a [ __ ] but
just going straight they never plug very interesting but sometimes you got to go around
the corner and stuff or go around a rock pile or a power pole and that's when you have trouble yeah
oh that's a really good idea what would you say the ground is like today it's pretty good it's got
moisture in it it's uh we're picking up a little bit of the packer wheels but
nothing that's bad you know there's a real bad the patrolling seeds on the ground
this year just about right that's great what is the optimal condition of the ground for seeding
hopefully we get rain montana doesn't get a lot of moisture in general
so now you're making a corner
what would you say is the main thing you have to look out for and pay attention to
while you're seating oh looking for rocks or power poles yes that would be that's very bad
hmm
and what's the biggest part you have to pay attention to when turning corners
suppose if you're at the end of the field of vents or something what kind of at the monitor
show well right now it's not everything's not working it's showing what i'm seeing and stuff
there's my fan speed and that therapy oh that's the clutch is engaged for the seed
this here is if these turn clear i think it is yeah that means you've got to plug hose
on the trail okay but that's only one on each station there's a big one if it was if it was
mapping wood working would be leaving a dark line behind there yes showing where you seated does it
make it more challenging not having that right now well right now it doesn't but if we were
in a field where you had a bunch of turns stuff yeah but this these are all plants so you can see
when i've seen it when i have it that's really good then you just have to steer it by yourself
grandpa said yesterday they'd have tractors
smaller than the wheels of today's tractors yeah oh
over there is yeah lot smaller it's kind of crazy seeing how technology has come because we have the
old equipment still and now we get to see the new stuff what is your favorite part of farming
or time of year do you like harvest the best or seating seating okay i don't really care for
harvesting i mean it's all right but i just longer hours well it's not necessarily hours everything
you got to do and then you get some idiots out here and you have problems and it just stresses
everyone out because there's a lot bigger of a crew at harvest time and you have to make sure
because if one person doesn't do their job correctly it can hold up the rest of the operation
i understand it can be frustrating at
times
and the beeping you hear is when the gps is engaging right yeah it's kind of beach
it's like when i get to the end of the field of beats to let me know i'm going to have to
turn and then a couple beeps that means you should be doing it
let's say when you put it in it tells you it's full in hand there's different tones i don't
i don't really know how to explain them but i don't you know when it starts giving it to me but
what it means yes and like right now you're preparing so that the drill doesn't hit the
power line and you've known me since i was a baby yeah yeah you were just a little one
about two or three years old when it was super shaky i think yes so that's
yeah very dad used to bring you out here
yes played with the cat all the time yes i did that was very fun
yeah that was a good gap i liked that yeah wasn't it nash yeah i missed your dad
we used to watch my lunch fail all day because you thought he'd get a treat out of it oh really
did you give him a treat oh yeah uh i used to bring out catfish
in my car and fell around once in a while he come down running down from up
clock greet me when i pulled in the yard that's awesome he was just very friendly and a great cat
the ground that looks a little bit more torn up is the ground that's been seated
it must be very nice and helpful to have the auto steer oh yeah i like it the other tractor's drills
or implement is a bit smaller yeah that's 58 it's almost big and it's a toe between rather than a
toe behind what determines the direction you seed in mostly the longest ways you may want to see
this feels kind of square but that makes it easier on your dad to spray it oh yeah gosh
i didn't even think about that because you don't have to turn it off yes the seeds get planted in
rows so you can't go you can't cross the roads because you don't want to hit all the plants
all right turn around i don't see yes i noticed that and then i thought wow
i think you're going to do the end last yeah that's usually what i do sometimes
the one good thing about having the green covering where you seated on the
monitor is you can tell if you've skipped a little bit here and there yeah
that helps a lot yes and is there ways you can tell if you do that other than looking at the
ground no really you gotta look at the ground now yes especially coming back with the drills
and everything you have to get all the problems worked out in the beginning you know they could
be working when you put them away but then they're not all of a sudden when you start them up again
addition here we put all new homes in here new hoses wow
does the drill automatically go to the correct height or depth in which to plant to yeah yeah
you set that up in the back and then go to that depth all the time if you get
in different soils or something you might have to shake the gap this pass must be the hardest
one without all the power poles what would you say the best part of this tractor is
it's a comfortable tractor comfortable that's great it's quiet yes it is very quiet everything's
right at your fingertips for adjustments i can adjust the fan speed and stuff here
and that makes it a lot simpler to do that
fast and then go back to the tasks that are very important
is it really challenging because i know combining we have some fields not like
in other areas but with some hills and and coolies is it really challenging to see those
not really but you got to do the [ __ ] and stuff if you go along and put that say that corner
down in the bottom of it and the other one stays up yeah well it's seeded up above it don't ever
silk seeds so you put one corner in the cooling and then you gotta turn around come back and
go from the other side because if you try to go through it it'll pull the plow out of the
ground when you're pulling through and the seat don't go in the ground so yeah that wouldn't be
good at all yeah that one hill when you have three rock piles you can't see pulling up because it's
too steep and there's too much weight in the tractor spins so
you got to go up the top of this seat and coming down is it a little more scary
don't bother me that's good and you're going up the hills that one hill combining if you can't
go up and on even half a tank you have to be empty yeah or you're not going to make it up
a little harder you know they're big but they don't have the
the belts and stuff will slip on them well thank you so much for the ride darcy
well i'm very excited to take more rides
so
well that was very fun
there goes the roller so that's pretty cool
that's my uncle chris driving it
oh we're not going to put the inoculate until in the morning because it's not supposed to sit
outside for and in case it rains it might go bad on it that's very interesting thank you how many
acres do you think you've done today i don't know i didn't look at it i think i only got about 300
300 yeah somewhere in that area so now you're going to fill the tank yeah with the lentils yeah
and then uh we're not going to put the other stuff in but put the landlords in awesome
he's just backing up to this grain hopper that is the black thing and it will auger the lentils all
the way up there as you can see it's starting to tilt and there's a little compartment that will
be released to drop the lentils in and this here pivots back and forth so that it can go
into the different tanks depending on which one you're filling and what you're filling it with
now i'm going to take you up here and show you a perspective from up above
filling the tank with lentils which is kind of cool thank you so much for watching i
really hope you enjoyed and a huge thank you also to darcy who let me ride in the drill
