Bouncing and sliding combines - Grain Hogs S02 EP03

Ойын-сауық

Combine on steep terrain, sliding off the hills. Jamie takes some hills and misses the mark. Meanwhile, down on the flats, Drew is beeping his beeper at me. We farm near The Palouse in South Eastern WA State in The USA. I work for the neighbors and not my family farm. I am a 5th generation farmer technically.

    The soil is good and the averages are higher in the hills, perhaps because we farm two sides of an acre. Acres are measured from the air, so really we have more land than it appears because of the topography. Growing something on it also helps with erosion and weed control. Have a good one.

    Nah, slower isnt always better. Sometimes you have to accelerate out of a slide in order to not only go straight sideways. Like a controlled slide is preferable with forward momentum being carried. I do some crazy stuff in my vector that these combines also do. I just do it at 8 to 10 MPH in it.

    Most of the stuff we harvested at the beginning was true skyrocket hills. They run north of prescott on the map East to West. Were out on the western edge of the skyrockets.

    I’m wondering about the guys who have to til the ground and sow the wheat. They don’t have the comfort of self leveling. I would imagine sore backs and butt cheeks for them unless they have something like a race car seat with side bolsters
