hello welcome to Kate's Ag it's another very exciting day today i am sitting in our new
tractor actually so if you haven't seen my new tractor to the farm video definitely go
check that out
and this tractor has a pto so it runs our grain vaculator which sucks the wheat out
of the grain bin and augers it into the truck so that we can load the truck and haul our
wheat to the elevator to sell and that's what i'm going to be doing today is trucking again
i am actually driving the same exact truck that i learned how to drive on in my original
first time trucking video it's a tandem truck and we will be hauling winter wheat it's a
very cold day here in montana but it's not windy so that's just a miracle here's my screen
in the tractor so this is the pto page this is kind of just the home page and this is
what i pressed to get it back to the pto i have the tractor on on low rpm and then the
pto is out right now and a pto is that long black thing there that spins and it runs this
evacuator this tractor also has a loader so we can use it for picking rocks in the fields
and lots of fun things my dad just told me to put the pto back in and i revved it up
so that the grain starts coming out again my dad's in the grain bin right now and the
vaculator has this big hose on it so it's like a vacuum in the grain bin you just and
it but if it has too much air there's not going to be a lot of grain coming out so you
have to move it to where the wheat is when you're inside the bin there's even plastic
still on the seats i cannot believe it this is the newest tractor we've ever had at the
farm it's really critical to buy old machinery and save where you can because you might have
a really good year and then several bad years in a row so in order to keep the family farm
alive and pass it down through generation you have to make sure to save for those bad
years and not overextend yourself buying new equipment and a lot of farm ground at once
dad's coming up now it should have been another foot back okay
we even have a sunroof in the tractor you know whatever it means but i'm going to hustle
right up to the cab jump right in kick the brake off you know get it into gear and get
it moved because this is running but 60 bushels a minute oh wow i don't want to get in there
and readjust until i get this truck moved one time it has pretty much run out of wheat
there so my dad has to go back in the grain bin
hi darcy hi how are you doing i'm great thank you yeah how's your day been well pretty good
today the wind ain't blowing i know it's been so wonderful it puts me in better humor me
too change trucks today huh yes the other one got uh engine light went on
it used to come on once in a while on that i think well it it came on right before we
were starting to turn it kicked the cruise control and so um so i'm trying to figure
out what it might be is it a throttle body thing oh yeah because we had temperature okay
and oil pressure too so i don't know yeah i think we might not have been injured protection
you used to like come on on that once in a while what else went
I think the tires might be getting to the point where a bit out of balance well the
earth did that kind of yeah yeah they got wore down and then they they start separating
on the inside or something so we just leave this right yeah okay austin shouldn't be too
far he's right behind me i i helped him load last time and he's had get fuel right right
and we campbell was there with the new airplane hodgekisses hads we went back in to talk to
them but they were gone before have a good day trucking good
and we're off that's the jake break dragging the motor to slow it down to the gears
hey this is good now just keep it this speed stick to the side oh there's austin
because you're not asking so much
you can drive these so it won't jake break the motor down not that that's bad or good
oh this must not work it says a hundred might work it ain't under load at all Kate
yeah just fasten seat belt
yeah well i turned it off here last time and it was i had to do a little more breaking
than i wanted
so i thought turn it off a little bit break a little bit Kate
okay turn turn turn
go with the right line check 65 must be the limit for the oh i don't know
you can set how fast these trucks go on a computer Kate
i had it at 70. it locked it in and now it's it's come down it might be that I don't know
we might have to take it in and have them look at it
i wonder what they're hauling in front of us
i can't tell clear
okay just go with it accelerate on the bend
six
miles an hour I said twenty six just let it go and cut the
corner turn
go straight turn now turn turn see how smooth that gets when you do it right
yeah makes a big difference yeah it does
we've made it to united grain and we're going to stop to unroll our tarp
sorry? well normally I put the brake on double check neutral slowly let the clutch
out that's how i do it
