I cannot believe it this is like the most exciting moment ever it's very warm in here
though I've driven this enough times to probably be able to drive it to the elevator no problem
but I just haven't driven it in at least three months so now I'm going to slightly drive
on the road here which there's a little dip I don't know how that feels in a semi this
is only a tandem truck this isn't a semi truck oh my gosh this is so cool I'm going about
15 miles per hour on the field road out to the combines
darcy we have to mark the bins at this is real south or yeah we already did that I'm
not sure if they marked it or not I put this real south one
okay that's good what's the one you were doing
what I have now is from oh wait a minute but this road is up there or down below here that
was the north one you did right if you marked it North I did I thought it was the last North
and then the next one will be south yeah I told him that is the other truck full?
thank you
oh there's my dad there he's probably waiting for me and excited because this is my first
solo Truck Driving Experience further
I did clutch I did clutch break and pulled out the break now I let the clutch out slowly
yeah everyone's at all she makes a noise inside that gear box Oh no what did I do?
pull I think I stalled it the problem is I don't know if I stalled it
I'm back in my combine now so my little Excursion as a truck driver is over I'm gonna rev it
up and go over here and dump in this red truck Arvid is dumping on Steve Wahl now he just
got back my dad was stopped because he was full of grain and we had already filled this
truck here and I'm about to dump as well who are you looking for I'm just looking for Austin
I'm taking his lunch his supper out to him oh ok Steve Wahl needs to be topped off on
the front a little bit so that's what I'm going to do Arvid didn't do that Yeah I copy
now I'm driving all the way to the back oh revving it up I got pretty well in the middle
again so I'm pretty I'm happy about that Steve won't be full this time he'll need probably
one more load this is what it looks like here now I'm starting what is one of the last passes
we moved from the north side of the field to the south side of the field the hill that
I actually accidentally picked up two combine passes of wheat in when I wasn't supposed
to that was when I completely chose the wrong field to move the combines to when I was interim
Farm Boss for a couple of hours so yes I made that many mistakes in a couple of hours but
we're now on this hill portion we're actually just finishing it now it went by super quickly
the wheat swaths seem to be a lot bigger in this field I'm having to go slower around
three four but the bushels per acre isn't much higher it's around 8 10 15. it just varies
between those numbers there's only now passes headed from west to east because I've got
the last one headed north there's only one more pass headed west to east the combines
are dumping in Steve Wahl I probably won't be able to oh I don't have that much wheat
but I would say the other two will for sure fill them up he was almost full before and
then we're going to head to dinner I believe it's enchiladas for dinner so that's exciting
the very last pass of this field so it always feels good to have that pass will I need to
dump in another truck or do you think Wahl can take this no he can't he's only going
to take a little bit of Arvid so but you can wait till after supper to dump Kate Easy there
Speedy! my dad just said it easy there speedy okay thank you and very funny I'm always Full
Throttle in the combine whether I'm turning or doing anything my dad said last year you're
like a go-kart driver Chris made a comment about it this year Kate you're like a Race
Car Driver maybe I can do combine racing I I think I miss my calling and it's dinner
time parking break because parking break because I'm rolling backwards my dad's waving at me
too now I'm headed to dinner we've got the combines parked Arvid's coming to park his
now I'm here with Lily Wahl and you have the most incredible dinners and lunches so thank

well thank you so much this is just a pleasure thank you thank you Am I part of the Stephens
Farm yes well we're so happy to have you thank you we just finished dinner and now Arvid
is taking me to show me the bolt in his tire would that be correct that is very correct
We keep our spare bolts in the tire in case we need them hahaha we're having a lot of
Tire problems this year oh my goodness how'd you notice this Arvid
that's crazy it looks pretty good really yeah I mean considering what do you do with it
when you get the tire guy because it's a Saturday so farmers are gonna do anything with it the
tire guy comes Farmers work on weekends but nothing else no one else does so would you
pull it out and fill it or what it does when you pull it out and fill it or get a new tire
we're not pulling it out till the tire guy comes
oh you have to put a whole new tire on it well Dad where are we going next to the field
we're going Arvid yeah we've got very particular instructions to go to the field so I'm going
to dump in the truck right now put my auger back in Full Throttle oh shoot parking I had
my parking brake engaged that's not good we are so thankful to have Lily and she's just
amazing as you can tell now I'm starting my first row of the next half of the field and
this is the East half we just worked on the west half so they're broken up into 80 acre
parts this was 160 Acres I'm going 2.8 miles per hour and my return auger is almost full
down a little it'll be right here this is the return auger
the but it was almost full well don't push it over the top it will plug up for sure
here's what it looks like out my window what's your fan at Kate my Fan's at 8 20. as I drive
out of my row my dad is that combine that's turning around over there Arvid's the one
in the middle still on the row and I'm in this combine right here My dad wants me to
open up the top sieve which is 14 and the bottom sip is five
press the first button and turn that knob a little bit till the number reads like 17
what is the first button the bottom right first button the black one with the dashes
on top of the line so this button engages this button to change your siv so I just opened
it up to 16. all right I just opened it up to 16 . what happened I opened this siv up
to 16. okay did it take anything off the return
yes it did a little bit now I'm going to go dump in the truck this truck over here that's
my dad looks outside to me but maybe not oh you're not too bad
I'm now dumping in the tandem truck and this is our last dump up the night and we're finished
for the day it's 8 P.M now I'll push this yellow button shut the grain off
Did you get empty Kate yes I'm empty do what yes I am empty
Did the truck get full? not even close
I can't even see a pile of grain in it
every time that screw goes around on that wheel I can see a little shiny dot so it'll
be interesting to see what they do with it well we are finished for the day Thank you
