when i get to the end of my row i'm going to pull over next to my dad and stop because lunch is here
i'm very excited about that i'm a little bit hungry we have the best sandwiches from Lily
Bean Coffee Shop in Dutton Montana Lily is helping with our lunches and dinners so that's so exciting
and Steve Wahl her husband is also helping with our harvest
by driving truck and grain loads to the elevator so once i get to the end here i'll park
oh there's a little bird i've seen quite a few little birds today which makes me
very happy let my header clean out a bit and then just shut it off now i'll idle my
machine down turn the back off i seem to be moving backwards a little bit so i'll put my park brake
in and i'll let the machine idle down for a little while all right now it's lunch time so
i'm going to grab my Kate's Ag tote bag just in case i want to take any snacks back from
lunch that's very important i'll let my combine down cool down a little bit more
my dad just said i could shut it down so open my door walking over to lunch now
we always have our lunch on the one side of a truck so that we have shade for lunch we
are having croissant sandwiches and watermelon my absolute favorite most delicious lunch ever
oh my goodness there are pheasants there's a baby
pheasant Yeah I know try not to run into him or gobble him up
oh my goodness there's baby pheasants oh my gosh they are so cute oh my gosh i don't know if you
can see them i can't i think they went back in the wheat swath so i'm just going to go very slow
oh i see them right there oh my gosh so cute look at him that's the mom i think
that might be a baby too but i think there's a smaller one i know there is actually but
i don't know where the smaller one went i love baby pheasants if you saw two years
ago i saved baby pheasants a whole family of them by leaving them oh my gosh oh my gosh
there's the one oh my god almost ran over him he was just buried here oh my gosh oh another
one another one oh my gosh another one there was a baby right by my header i only saw two
of the babies and then the one mom oh no my gosh there's three of them and one almost came in the
header but i was able to stop in time thankfully oh my goodness there's another baby pheasant
hopefully he flies away as well i don't want him to get hurt oh my goodness that was so scary we
just finished this little 80 acre part of the field and on my last pass i thought i
felt something burning i also saw a lot of pheasants which was awesome but i i on the
last pass i thought i felt something burning so my dad radioed to Darcy and he's going to check
it out wait so i'm just going to dump in Darcy really quickly and then he's going to check it out
it's never good when you smell something burning in the combine so i was a little bit concerned
although i have smelled burning before where it's not been my combine but actually a different one
Have you guys moved to the reel place? yeah we're just about to move up there right
now i got one more pass on this then we're done if you want me to park on the other side of you
Darcy to have you look at it i smell it again why don't you come on the other side here
are you gonna dump first Kate yeah i just finished okay back of the truck next
i just radioed to Arvid to tell him back of the truck you look lined up from here it's
kind of hard to tell you want to start at the back though where the axles are at the back
so that's where the truck is the strongest and and at the front but the front's full so
you might need to come out from it a little bit you're going over the side yes i can't hardly
tell whether he was straight or not do you guys see anything Austin do you think it could be that
other combine i don't know i thought i smelled it but we might check them out because what i
was going to say is do you remember so i don't know or Darcy you were here the year i smelt the
burning and it wasn't my combine it was that other belt going out yeah and i think that's the second
time that belt's gone out oh on that combine yeah so i'm wondering he was because he was close to me
so i'm wondering if it's him could be i didn't smell it when we had gone further away but then
he came back so that's what i'm wondering and i think that belt's gone out twice yeah it has yeah
so i'm pretty sure yeah those three times just went out yeah with that one and then that next
year went out that's when you had to take your dad's combine right because i smelled the water
after that i think Dan was running it and i smelled a lot of burning then only when he
would make turns and it would blow to my combine i smelled it a tiny bit in the row but i smelled
it a lot here i've actually kind of forgotten about that yeah that's immediately what i almost
didn't think it was my combine and i thought it was that one but Arvid's doing a good job for his
first day yeah but that's yeah i and i don't know that it even anything's going wrong but
um that was just my guess and what belt is that i don't even remember oh it's the header belt it's
one got that clutch that no other problem i don't smell it at all right now though
oh you're right did you see anything on my combine stop stop no just stop idle it down
they're just going to check your combine because i smelled a bit of burning and this the header some
belt in it has gone out three times before and last time i smelled burning it wasn't my combine
it was this one so we'll just see it's probably nothing i'm i always accidentally think of that
uh no you're good yep just idle down yeah a little bit over there and then i smelled it again here
it's probably good though do you think it's good so it looks good i guess i don't know
yeah so my even from yeah for me too this is my fourth harvest and i can't even line up properly
and just this year i figured out that you dump so the semi trucks you dump the very front where the
axle is and then you dump the very back and then in the middle and the tandem truck you
go back to front so it's always so confusing to me are you enjoying it though I am i had know
i had no idea it's really when I was a kid this was all different this stuff is nice
we didn't have fun kind of equipment yes you know this this step is not just beautiful you're doing
awesome am i good yes well it was good talking to you i think you're probably good so it's fine
i wonder what it was then maybe just did you smell it too though I thought I smelled it
i wonder if a bearing is going out austin thought he smelled it too they couldn't
find anything in mind so i thought maybe it was that belt in that combine because it's gone out
three times yeah I know but get off here then they checked it and nothing but i smelled it
more like i smelled it a little bit in the past i got a big whiff of it when i was dumping so
that's why i thought it might have been the other combine and then i explained to him that that's
where just tell him if he's missed the line just to shut it off yeah and get straight square too i
couldn't tell from here because you can't have it at an angle Kate because nobody's going to figure
that out they have to get out get square oh look at the red crew it was fairly faint driving down
the path and then it was a lot stronger dumping okay what's the routine if you got a fire going
um you shut everything off roll out of the field park in a green area somewhere where
it's not going to catch or summer fallow right right somewhere where it's less likely to catch
anything on fire move towards the water truck if you got time you know yeah where did this
come from did you run it over or ever or what no i didn't i don't know where that's from
so for now we don't think anything's wrong although we're still going to keep looking
on my way so now we are roading to our next field and i'll just watch out for that burning smell we
don't really know what it is my dad went around the combine and smelled all of the kind of the
areas with the bearings we've got a flying so hopefully it wasn't anything too bad
and hopefully it's my combine and not that other combine with the belt because that would be a not
great first day experience for Arvid and then it might have just been a whiff of something burning
and nothing to do with the combines although that is probably unlikely it's 2:38 so that's about
what time we finished that field this is ground probably close to the furthest away we combine
we do stuff around the homestead area there's a little field road here that we're taking
it's not really a field road because it's directly diagonal but it's the same route that all the
trucks have been taking ideally you only want to drive on one part of the field because when you
compact the soil the crops don't grow as well the following years Darcy let us know what you see huh
Darcy is going to flag us i just turned my hazards on i'm the middle combine my dad's taking us to
the field and then Arvid's following behind Austin can you hear me I can
okay when we all get on the road here um you go down to that corner and when it's clear make
sure that you don't let anybody in this mile it takes us to get down there okay all right
so did you want me to hang out until you actually entered the roadway here or just blast down there
well i'm gonna wait till everybody gets on the road here so i'm gonna get on the road and then
put it in third gear i just put it in third yeah Arvid we'll drive onto the road in second
because they don't have enough power and third and then and thirds all the way forward with that
gearshift lever on the right front there are a lot of missile bases around
here so Austin just said yep Did you get third gear Arvid
i did cool
these are kind of steery so you know be kind of careful with it till you get the feel
they're not kind of steery they're very steery and very scary too
if they get out of control with their steering i mean that first corner about one mile is all
