Really like your framing and editing. those shots of grain truck sitting on the field under the clouds, the final scene where you turn off the light in the shop to close out your day, very beautifully done! It's not easy to always remember to hold your camera/phone steady, narrating and always acting naturally all the while still focusing on the actual work... Schmidt you make very high quality video!
Hey SCHIMDT. If he didn't think you were qualified and able to do a good job he wouldn't have given you the keys. He trusted you. Why? Because of your experience with 1st Class. Get some rest. B SAFE SCHIMDT. 🚚💨💨💨💨
It is great watching an "Old Dog" learning new tricks. Kurt, there are a lot of people out there that would not even try to learn something new like you are doing. You are willing to put yourself out there and not be afraid of possibly embarrassing yourself on camera. Keep up the Great Video's showing American City Folk what Farming is really like...
Wheat bread is a little better than white bread. John Deere has bluetooth so the combine driver can control the tractor pulling the grain cart. It takes a while, but soon you will appreciate the automatic transmissions. That radiator was really filled with dust and matter. I seen a combine several years ago, combining in a field and the operator forgot to turn off the unload auger, he was harvesting and spreading corn across the field. Nothing wrong with stopping the combine to unload, just takes a little longer. I helped a friend when combining the combine was a IH 64 pull type, pulled with a IH 656, and I was hauling away beans and wheat with a super H and wagon. Good memories. Does the grain cart have scales, would be interesting to see the weights.
Absolutely love the farm content just seeing a different perspective from a person that doesn’t do it all the time as a farmer love the content keep up the good work and if possible love to see a video about lances farm history
I drove a 2018 International that was an automatic. I honestly don't recall it having issues shifting like Little Red Riding Hood. It had get up and go, when it felt like having get up and go... oh wait. That's when it was bobtail. 😂 Stay safe! I'm enjoying these farming videos.
The trouble is Kurt, You are a perfectionist (as if you didn't know that!) I have faith you'll get it, it's just something new and you will get it! Say hi to the family for me! Dude, you keep it safe until next time Kurt😀😀😀😀
I had a part time "retirement" job for3 and a half years, where for ONE day of it, I had to drive an auto shift semi. After forty years of shifting for myself...That was MORE than enough! I feel your pain. Todd the retired trucker.
farming has gotten a lot more modern since my aunt owned a farm. I used to go help with harvest driving a tractor that my cousin adapted for me to drive. I have pulled many different things behind it including kids in a hay wagon on reunions lol. I even had a bull argue with it cutting through the pasture. he didn't like that and had my completely on the seat hoping he didn't tip me over lol.
Like most little boys, my 4 yr old grandson loves big vehicles of all types. I showed him the different farm equipment, the big tire, but the part he liked the most was you talking about walking in the wind and not getting dirty. I have no idea why, but I had to play that part 4x. You have a new fan. 🚜
You had me laughing about that air valve because for the life of me I can’t ever remember what there called and I’ve changed a bunch of them, I always bring the old valve with me when I go to the part store
We had a motorhome with a Cummins diesel pusher with automatic transmission. I don’t know who made the transmission but it was just fine, not the issues you are having on that truck.😊
Love, love, love all your farming videos. This one is your absolute best. My wife and I had the best time riding along with you. We subscribe and watch at least 50 farm channels, but, you not being a farm gives a fresh look, like from a child’s point of view! Be safe and keep on farming. Need to put down the sandwiches and chew the beans and learn the moisture content. ❤❤❤ -KB & -LB North Chesterfield VA.
Collision avoidance systems will get you killed on black ice as they will slam brakes for overpasses,road signs,animals,concrete barriers on curved roads just to mention a few. Speaking from experience.
A future Opie cheeseburger may be on one of those trucks. I never would have guessed that you would be making harvest videos. I'm loving them. Lunch is between breakfast and dinner, and/or dinner and supper. You're good. A grain cart is a very different animal. You'll have them unloading on the go soon enough. Keep at it! Stay safe, and God bless.
I drove a lot of automatics as I drove out of Ontario for the last 15 years of my driving adventure. The Eaton-Fuller automatics were the worst and the Meritor (now taken over by Cummings) and Volvo I-shift were the smoothest. The Volvo had more features, probably since it was newer, but both were a pleasure to drive. In the middle was the Freightliner automatic which shifted smoothly but had to be run in manual if you were climbing hills; in auto mode, it shifted at it's rpm shift point regardless of speed. It also had a 2-speed reverse gear so if you had to back up for 100 yards or so, the damm thing would upshift if you weren't careful of your speed. Pita.
You will get the hang of the grain cart. You adapt very well and seek perfection. You’re doing great. In my day we just had bobtail trucks but I ran the combine. That was the in the short time I helped on the farm operation before I took over the cattle operation. Much slower with 16ft headers and MUCH smaller tractors. You doing good. Stay safe and as always havagudun.
It's getting well into the fall, a little tune is running through my mind (prematurely) it begging to look like Christmas. Well . . . you're beginning to look a little like a farmer LOL Nice video, thankee very much. Stay well.
Watched a video today of a 8yr old driving a grain cart loading on the go from his 12 yr old brother driving the combine. He was not nervous Curt. Must be an age thing 😁
Howdy from Kansas You're looking at regular hours for eating lunch when you're a farmer you eat lunch as you can. You look like your filling in good. Be nice to see first class with grain tailor on back.
Another good video you be a jak of all trades running different equipment when you load the semi trailer how do you judge on how much to put in it weight why's they say not to old to learn and you prove it but you take care of his stuff like you owned it he hired the right person when he hired you another educational video from Kurt and his adventure at farming what ever you do will be educational to us you take time to explain everything you do and we enjoy watching you Kurt they about done with harvest yet and does he need help with other stuff been waiting for this and the next video thanks again 29:05
Congratulations Kurt! That’s awesome, it’s only going to take a little practice, kind of like learning to shift first class and keeping her in your lane. I think that would be a hoot!
Yep. Got into trouble with snow and ice trying to back into tight places. It would always want to lurch. Pacar motors are worse on the Kenworths and Peterbilts
I know what you are talking about loading on the go I was driving a tractor and wagon and the guy in was working for i couldn't do it why because the wagon i had was only 250 to 300 bushes capacity i tried to do it but I just couldn't get it
Hey Kirt, does this farm work affect your position with agents if you want to return hauling Guntren trailers again? I'm just curious... Appreciate your content. Love watching. God bless you and your family sir! Be safe out there!

Love how humble and honest you are scaredy cat. GREAT VIDEO 💯
Coming from a city boy that was awesome...love our Farmers...
knowing and having farmers in my family, that farmer has the cleanest equipment in the entire midwest!! Great vid!!!

Don't beat yourself up too hard. It was your first day in the grain cart. You will get better at it the more you do it.
I drove a 2018 International that was an automatic. I honestly don't recall it having issues shifting like Little Red Riding Hood. It had get up and go, when it felt like having get up and go... oh wait. That's when it was bobtail. 😂

Good evening Kurt
I always wondered how you unload grainwhen it rain. Now I know thank you Kurt

It's complicated they are called tractor trailer valves lmao
It is for me, my lunch break is at 9:00 o'clock every morning though the week for the past 29 years. 😂😂😊
Enjoying the farming videos but really miss the W-900 and Opie. Hope to see you trucking soon. Hope your back is getting better. Be safe

Like I've said before, you have a natural talent for content and commentary.....engaging vids.
I am really enjoying your new job Kurt. Very interesting and brings back memories.

Be comfortable being uncomfortable. Equals growth.
Truth!!!!!!
Howdy from Kansas You're looking at regular hours for eating lunch when you're a farmer you eat lunch as you can. You look like your filling in good. Be nice to see first class with grain tailor on back.
If they trust you enough to put you in it trust yourself enough to do it.
Hey Kurt for years I've gotten up around 2:30am and run until 10:30 @ night I guess once it's in your system it's hard ta change.
My late husband did that also. He made it 64 years and then......
Nervous and cool all at the same time 😂 👍
Another good video you be a jak of all trades running different equipment when you load the semi trailer how do you judge on how much to put in it weight why's they say not to old to learn and you prove it but you take care of his stuff like you owned it he hired the right person when he hired you another educational video from Kurt and his adventure at farming what ever you do will be educational to us you take time to explain everything you do and we enjoy watching you Kurt they about done with harvest yet and does he need help with other stuff been waiting for this and the next video thanks again 29:05
Maybe you need those $700 glasses to see the tire tracks. L O L.😂
you are grate at farming
Honestly that Bendix system is good.......... If you have to make an emergency stop you will have enough time.
Great job man don’t be so hard on yourself
KURT MAN HE HAD AWESOME HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT QUALITY EQUIPMENT !!!! SO AWESOME & AC TOO LIFE IS GOOD !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Kurt we know your nerve you're sweating Wondering how many peanuts are in a trailer load. lol Thanks for sharing.
More"FARMING WITH SCHMIDT".
you gotta love it!!
Looks like a ton of fun to me! Enjoy yourself, ya only live once! 😊
Videos fun. Learning something new.
That's one LONG DAY
What a great opportunity working with Lance, maybe you could drive the cattle in the future…I hear Troy wants to go to medical school…
You might be able to set the distance on that cruise control. I can on mine.
No spilling from the cart to the trailer is "SUCCESS".
Phenomenal!
Congratulations Kurt! That’s awesome, it’s only going to take a little practice, kind of like learning to shift first class and keeping her in your lane. I think that would be a hoot!
Nice video. 🎉
I like the name of the trucks
Super early a.m. start qualifies you for the whole sha-bang: breakfast, lunch, dinner & supper.
From what I understand, you should be able to manually shift that facocta auto transmission. If you can that might help in the field
Trucker and a farmer!
Nice content🎉
As a farmer myself I love seeing this!! I don’t think most people would be that excited about driving a tractor! Keep up the great work. You got this!
We used to call them dynamite valves years ago.
Love the video! ♥️
im really enjoying farming with schmidt
Dude ,these farming vlogs are interesting
Shmeet! Your dorking out
That makes you the big bad wolf😂
👍👍🤩😂
Pasta, bread, biscuits, taters......yum
Once I wake up and I’ve had my initial meal I eat every 3 to 4 hours after that or I get angry 😂
great truc////farm vidio
Put that auto in manual mode and you can shift smoother in lower gear situations.
Kurt I thought the beans were to stay as dry as possible.
Yep. Got into trouble with snow and ice trying to back into tight places. It would always want to lurch. Pacar motors are worse on the Kenworths and Peterbilts
I know what you are talking about loading on the go I was driving a tractor and wagon and the guy in was working for i couldn't do it why because the wagon i had was only 250 to 300 bushes capacity i tried to do it but I just couldn't get it
Seeing any pheasants there
Bread and pasta are good for you but like anything, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. eat to live. Don't live to eat.
You are cool
Kurt you've become a natural farmer now you need to learn how to load cattle what ya say Kurt you can do it!!!!!!
Hey Kirt, does this farm work affect your position with agents if you want to return hauling Guntren trailers again? I'm just curious... Appreciate your content. Love watching. God bless you and your family sir! Be safe out there!
Opie withdrawl!
Hey Kurt hope all is well
Hope your back is feeling better
Which truck is better White or Red
Compared to 1st Class they’re like 3rd and 4th class
If I don't have bread with a meal I feel I missed out have to have it can't help it so I understand
If you bite a bean and it cracks it’s ready
Eat more Cosmic Brownies, and less bread
Well here’s a story for ya. I have celiac can’t eat bread but I have delivered bread for 40 years. So a bread man that can’t eat bread. Lol
Linda, good idea to not leave Jerry unsupervised. You love him and it shows. Keep safe.
