hello welcome to Kate's Ag today i am rolling again i just got an engine coolant temperature
high notification so i'm not sure what's going on i'm gonna have to look into
so that told it down immediately but then i told grandpa he told me
it's much nicer to use a roller than to pick all of the little rocks out some rocks you
still do need to pick like the really big ones that you're just not going to be able
to press into the soil darcy's going to switch from chickpeas to barley now so he's probably
started seeding again we don't quite have the second drill ready today so we're not
seeding with it yet and hopefully i'll get done with the roller before we'll start using
the next drill so then i can go seeding again i really actually enjoy running the drill
a lot my pass went in a little bit here anyways i do love running the drill not as much as
combine but it's still so much fun and it's a little bit more laid back than combining
i'm just making my pass right here i'm lining my tractor up first and once i drive my tractor
to my line and get it straight the roller will follow so if it has enough time to come
around it will get everything from the starting point until of course when i turn around again
i'm driving about 9.4 miles an hour it does seem to be bumpier here than the other part
of the field as well and i've noticed a lot more rocks mostly small ones but they would
still affect the machinery so that's why we double roll some areas everything's looking
pretty good on my monitor here i look at different things on my screen and its touch screen which
is very cool i can shut my both my hydraulics if i need to but i don't really bump them
so they can stay open i i think the owl was just a little bit up here so hopefully we
see it again you think you're driving straight and then you come back the other way and you
notice how crooked you were actually driving oh that's a very big rock i didn't slow down
for it but i i'm already going not very fast so should be okay that's definitely going
to need to be double rolled oh gosh we've made it back to the bumpy area slow down a
little bit to go easy on the tractor i've got maybe one two six passes left of this
field and then i'm done rolling i'm actually excited to move on to a different project
on the farm but i've also really enjoyed rolling so it's a happy and sad experience when you
finish one thing on the farm going a little too fast there was going 10.6 so i'm going
to take it back to 10 miles an hour seems to be a lot bumpier on this side of the field
i am now right by the fence post making my turn which is kind of crazy so oh that got
pretty close better make sure i don't have any wire caught on anything looks like i'm
good but i did miss this part right here so i'm just gonna go back over this last time
and this part so i'm gonna go back over this it's always these ones by the end apparently
now we're going to speed along back to my pass whoa okay that's way too fast maybe nine
miles per hour is better i'm going to pull back in here actually go through a part i
missed right here just get back into my pass it feels like i'm speeding gonzales right
now but i'm only going 10 miles an hour darcy's still seeding the field next to me in barley
it's crazy to look at the whole field and know how much i've rolled and then to see
how little is left it's just insane okay now i see the coulee uncle chris was talking about
so in two more passes i'll only be able to finish up this top part and then i'll come
back and finish the rest down here this whole part has been rolled because i had to make
a little detour last lap and go roll a portion that i had missed because i wasn't watching
the line but instead of going around that i'm just going to straighten it out and drive
straight through oh i'm going a little bit on the fast side right now there we go 0.6
miles an hour too fast it doesn't sound like a lot and it definitely isn't much of a difference
in a car but when you're in a tractor in a bumpy field it makes a big difference and
you'd rather spend an extra couple hours in your field than have to replace machinery
that's very expensive more frequently i actually i oh my gosh there's the owl again i actually
remember harvesting the field right across from this one that was seeded to barley this
last harvest so that's kind of interesting and that field i believe was the one that
i saw all of the hawks on the fence post which was really cool just looking back to make
sure i didn't have any skips and it doesn't look like i did so that's good i've been really
watching my line closely i'm overlapping maybe seven feet right now so i'm just going to
move out a little bit and i've come up to the fence post again so i'm going to be very
careful thought i was skipping there for a moment but don't think i am sometimes there's
just variations in the color of dirt which makes it especially challenging to see whether
or not you've rolled there because the darker dirt looks like you have it roll but maybe
it just wasn't rolled as well or you're just looking at it when the light's shining right
on it the fence post is the part that makes my dad a little bit nervous to have me on
the roller and on the drills but i didn't come close to it so that's good i think i've
now found my line again which is good now i'm doing the part of the field next to the
cooley so i've separated from the last pass as i was doing over here i'm just doing this
portion right here so i'm edging kind of by the grass i'm trying not to get the roller
in the grass because that's where people throw rocks as you can see there's already rock
piles there but i'm not sure if my loader is up enough to make it through this kind
of steep coulee so i'm going to press the loader unlock button and it says joystick
lock disengaged i'm just going to bring it back a little bit and as you can see it's
going to move the loader up a little bit and then i'm going to lock it again so i don't
accidentally press it and hurt anything i am now rolling the same area where i saw all
the hawks on the fence post up there i was right over there so you'll definitely have
to check out my harvest video which is just incredible i'll insert a clip here this one
there is a hawk on every single post up here oh my goodness how cool is that all the way
up there wow that's cool they're starting to fly away now you can even see them up there
every single post yeah it's really cool that's what i was just looking at and they're on
every single post
and as i get closer they fly away oh my goodness
still one there whoa look at them they are so cute so many of them
that's the wildlife for today it's always so amazing to be in the same field you were
harvesting so we're planting this one back to back and i'm pretty impressed with the
line i've been able to run with the roller it makes me feel like i could possibly do
end passes with the drill so that's pretty awesome i just got an engine coolant temperature
high notification so i'm not sure what's going on i'm going to have to look into that
so i got a high coolant temperature warning and on this last pass my coolant and fuel
dropped from like three and two to one and one
check this out and i want to show you something when i think so grandpa i idled it down immediately
but then i called gramp and he told me to turn it off yeah that's a that's always a
good thing i was just on my way down here anyway see what i think is happening this
is the highest gear yep so and and because it's it's pulling harder on these things it's
probably overheating it so if we had went down to here that's a good idea because i
think the gear ratio is just less you know that means it's a lower gear so it has more
power to pull just like going up the hill in a combine that's like going up the hill
in the combine okay so that makes a lot of sense because i did feel it having trouble
on that and i didn't know for sure yeah and that so what i'm going to start it up it's
in neutral park i want to show you that this has a accessory okay so you have to be careful
when you quit because the other night when you you got out it was an accessory oh is
that all the way back and it's yeah so it's like a truck well almost come on in every
what that's the radio see I didn't have the radio on at all that's probably to tell you
its in accessory probably a safety thing
i'm going to have him take my pickup over and get the fuel pickup and one of those things
to depth because i don't think we should run with them now austin and i are headed back
to my vehicle because uncle chris came out and we need to refuel the tractor and put
more diesel exhaust fluid in it because of the warning i got and we're not going to drive
it anymore without it so thank you so much for watching today's video make sure to like
