As a retired trucker I can tell you that many truckers, guys and girls, take their pets with them in their trucks and that includes cats and dogs. Yr pepper is a cool cat!😊
The funny thing about that is that the burliest truckers give their tiny dogs ultra macho names.
Laura has such a signature "Bye" at the end of each video.... Nobody says "bye" like Laura Farms!
From a 72 yr. old truck driver...... You keep doing it (shifting) that way and you do a great job of it.
Check your motor in the morning for your cat they like to climb on them to stay warm .I lost a few cats that way
I like Grant's comment, "oh all the bolts were sheared so the gearbox came out really easily." lol Oh Grant, always the optimist. 😂👍
Said a prayer last night and this morning that the snow holds off until you all are done with harvest 🙏❤️🙏
Really like the field time, an loved the cat time 🤠. You can tell that cat really trusts you. Pretty 😍 neat 🥰. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
4:30 waay cool Gage; I know lots of people couldn't do that at 4kph with just the tractor, never mind with a trailer hooked up too.
Great job on driving, you're definitely getting the hang of it. I'll add my 2-cents about preselecting the range shift before shifting from 5th into 6th. Flip the range lever way ahead of your shift -- it won't do anything until you move the shifter through Neutral, when it will instantaneously shift the gearbox into the upper range. It will make that range transition easier and faster. (In fact, you can flip the lever for Hi Range any time you're still accelerating in low range, preparing to shift to the next gear - just remember that IF you shift through Neutral, the transmission will upshift to the Hi Range instantly.
The same is true for downshifting. If you're slowing down, might shift down a couple of gears in Hi Range while braking... flip the range lever down, then ONLY move the gearshift into your starting gear just as you're almost stopped. The range selector will change as soon as you pass through Neutral (it's all pneumatic).
RE: "floating the gears". That's how I learned too, decades ago. And I did that for many years. But eventually I worked for a fleet company and got to know one of the mechanics. He said he could tell from the truck which drivers "floated the gears" and which drivers double-clutched (which just eases the huge torque load applied to the gearbox). The wear on the gear train was very evident. Clutches are way cheaper to replace than transmissions.
Double-clutching isn't a big deal. It's an "in-out-in-out" procedure that should last lest than a second. But it provides a very brief "safety cushion" for the time you are are changing gears, especially if you might miss a gear, and are trying to find the "next available gear".)
And a big mistake that some make who don't understand the transmissions that use a clutch brake which are most trucks ( other then baby trucks and pickups/cars that use a fully synchronized transmission ) press the clutch pedal to the floor when double clutching while under way or pressing it in all the way before they come to a stop and that is guaranteed to destroy the clutch brake in fairly short order. Only pressing the clutch pedal that last inch or so to the floor when the truck is stopped moving to stop the rotation of the transmission gears to select a gear to start out in, of course this comment isn't for you ... its for those who are understandably completely unfamiliar with highway tractors with manual transmissions and their quirks. Definitely the truck transmission manufactures do not condone floating gears, double clutching is the method they intend to be used although like myself ... yes I float the gears most of the time unless a situation calls for breaking torque for quicker down shifts etc.
FYI. With the Eaton 10 speed, it is OK to flip the splitter switch while still in 5th gear. It will not shift untill you move the shift lever out of 5th gear.
true
@lavernmcnitt138 is right. The shifting instructions sticker that should be either on the dash or the driver’s sun visor says “Preselect all range shifts (move range selector before moving shift lever)”.
Definitely do this. Much smoother and easier...
Trying not to sound negative but think you are #30 to let her know to flip the switch early. Yes it does cause extra wear on the shift fork but not enough to damage it badly so just the way many do it. And actually Pre-select range shifts means before you put it into the next gear- ie not trying to go from 1st to 6th in low before selecting hi range. Does not mean selecting before you take it out of the previous gear.
It's not just OK, it's the ONLY way to do it without damaging the transmission's synchronizer. The range selector should only be pre-selected when in gear and never when in neutral.
I found it funny that after I watched this video I left and went to Walmart. As I walked around I saw a man and his wife walking around with Laura Farms shirts on. Stopped and talked to them for several minutes about your videos. Just shows how far your videos and presence on RUclips can make complete strangers share a common interest
Pepper is a lightweight! My parrot can do a full day of trucking no problem!
so cute how pepper just lays on your lap immediately 🥰
Had one cat that loved to ride in my car. A 1969 Mercury Cougar with a 351 wisdor. FMX c4 transmission. Positive trac rear-end. Could do awesome side-ways slides. Give a few friends a ride. Didn't want a second ride. Scared the crap out of people with that old car. Factory 2 barrel carb. Numbers matching car! Nephew's car now. He's a master mechanic.
So impressed to see you " floating" the gears without using the clutch!!
Hey Laura when you change gears from 5th to 6th always change your range before moving your stick out of 5th gear I t will change automatically when you bring it out of gear
Good job on the no clutch. Saves wear and tear on the drive train. Good job
Love the way Pepper comes running to you... looked like a JBL powered speaker next to you... I bring mine out if I'm stacking firewood in the same area, or working on something else... nice to have music... never, ever wear ear buds, head phones... always want to stay alert to my surroundings. Love every video 🥰
Noticed the auger blade above where the damaged gearbox was had a pretty good kink in it. Suspect the kink and the failed gearbox may be related.
We saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Chick with a Stick" and had a picture of a woman driving stick shift...we thought of Laura immediately. 😀
LOL
Or a fake trans women
Come on all those who aren't subscribed, let's catapult Laura over 500K in style before harvest's end.
What a special cat you have. I had one like that when I was very young. Enjoy!
Brilliant I have driven lots of trucks for 30 years you doing great no clutch is the correct way to go thanks for the videos from the uk 🇬🇧
Laura you may or may not know, but using Rain-X on the side windows and mirrors makes it easier to see out when it rains. Also helps dust etc to slide off the glass ..
"given enough instruction, anyone can be good at anything" - Absolutely! The secret sauce of civilization. :)
Laura, thanks for sharing your harvest, and fingers crossed the weather is kind to you, your team and to all the farmers everywhere in the world! 🤞❤
laura you are a smart young hard working woman live that god bless you and your family
Haven't been watching ALL the uploads. But still want to stop by and cheer you all on. Thank you for farming.
40 years and well over a million miles driving truck and I never used the clutch except to start rolling. You were a bit rough when you started driving but this video shows you've got it down. Well done!
Just a thought when the weather is cold ,raining remember bridge decks and overcrossings can ice up, be cautious and dont make any sudden moves crossing same. You are doing great BTW!
Here in Manitoba was helping a farmer with harvest hauling soybeans to an elevator with a set of super b's. Also dumping the soybeans in a big pile outside. Dumping the same way you were with the corn. Great fun.
Hey Laura, thank you for another AWESOME video, & thank you for taking pepper for a ride alomg in the truck. i have found it so interesting on how you girls & guys farm in the U.S. I hope that there is more videos of pepper & her kittens too. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
You should get spinner knobs to put on the truck steering wheels, makes it easier to steer when turning. I speak from about 20 years experience driving semi's.
Well done Ms Pepper 😄🫶
Thanks for explaining/showing the tarped corn piles. It was stressing me out (all that corn left in the weather)!!
Pepper is one heck of an awesome fur person , that there is one thing that really pulls at my heart strings , a farm cat that always shows affection. Don't get me wrong , I love the farm life but the critters own a huge portion of my heart.
Don't give Grant too much grief for missing the row of corn. At one of my jobsites, a truck missed a turn on the way to the receiving docks and hit the wall around the guardhouse. The driver reversed, realigned, and hit the guardhouse itself. Grant at least caught the row on his second try.
You guys are rocking out these daily harvest videos! Loving them, thank you for all the extra hard work in putting them together.
Laura, the switch from the lower range will go smoother if you flip the switch up before you come out of gear that way while you are coming over for fifth you won't have to wait at all and it will drop right in on the high side. BTW I have over 4 million miles combined on the road for over 30 years and I have never ever double clutched to shift, not even once.
As far as your "given enough training, anyone can do anything" statement goes, I mostly agree with that... until it comes to anyone trying to teach me to draw anything more complicated than a stick figure. It takes a really patient ruler to help me draw a straight line!
Thank You Laura For Another Awesome Video!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😄👍👊❤️
I made a trip out to the West Coast and back. Going through Nebraska I was thinking of you and Grant. Happy Harvest.
The only time I had to double clutch was on ooooooold equipment without (or with worn out) synchros. I learned stick on a 1946 Ford 1/2 ton fire truck being used as a water tender and with that thing double clutching to match the input and engine RPM was a necessity.
You are doing a great job driving the semi. I know the weather has been a issue for us as well in central Illinois. Hopefully we both get a window of good weather and finish up.
Stay positive!
Laura-Grant and yes Pepper!
Great job Laura Grant Gage you are fantastic job thank you enjoyed it.
Tarping those corn mounds must be a big job. Sorry to see the weather is crapy but great work Laura driving the truck. Good luck weather wwwwise for tomorrow 👍
Another great video. You know you got the RUclips formula dialled in when other smaller farming RUclipsrs are actively trying to follow your example. Keep it up 🤙
It is nice to see the grandad and his grandaughter have a laugh in the tractor. Over a 9 years she wil drive it just like her aunties and mother and father.😊😊😊
YEA! I luv taking my dog with me!! Cats are the same; she needed her portable bed.
Your driving is great, no worries and I agree anyone can do it if they put their mind to it.
Corn piles I believe are cattle feed. I never seen anything like it till I moved to Nebraska.
Awesome to see Pepper in the tractor. Hope conditions allow you to get going full speed with the harvest. Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out
Hi Laura and Grant. Love these
Harvesting videos. Farmers Almanac says if we get El Nino we on the west Coast will be cooler with a probability of rain and snow above normal. Midwest is forecast to be colder with above normal snow fall into March. We could use the rain and snow for the spring. Hopefully you will have a great winter too for the spring. Hope your harvest continues to go well and is bountiful .
Use whatever works for your shifting. I learned on a 1949 international 4 speed with two speed rear end, double clutch every time. I liked a Mack I drove with an 18 speed. Hardest was a Kenworth with two 10 speed and a high low rear.
Another great video , ,our attention to your equipment is out standing, you got it young lady a great job at the end of the day floating the gears save the legs at the end of the day instead of double clutching
Laura, I'm a Truck driver and learned how to drive on a 10 Spd. Don't get too wrapped up in the "double clutch debate" if it's working for you, keep going. Floating will save you left knee issues as you age. (Even if you are somehow wrong transmissions are less expensive to replace than body parts anyways :P) Especially as you're bouncing around town not going up and down huge mountains--which would hypothetically put more strain on the gears.... It's just not worth arguing with people. You're shifting is great. I'm pulling for you guys to get 500K subs, Especially Ms. Pepper!!!
good afternoon, laura, excellent day to continue harvesting,
Good to see " pepper " on duty!! Lol!! Hope your harvest continues
without incident!!
Getting close on your goal of subs!!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
Pepper gets to drive!
Laura your truck driving skills are on point 🙂🙂👍👍👍I'm still learning when to up and down shift at the right time.
So inspiring to watch you.🙂👍👍👍👍
Just go by the rpm’s. 1600 upshift, 1400 downshift on my truck. It’s not rocket science.
Damn girl, your grabbing those gears like a real trucker 👍 and I should know, I drove truck long haul for 25 yrs and didn't you say your farm or your fields are beside interstate 80? If so, I know I have been past your farm more times than I could ever count. Good job girl.
Pepper make sure no little furry mice are hiding in the cab. She just pops in from time to time see if if her master's ok but ready for mouse catching action if needed. A little cat nap on Laura's lap but with one eye open at all times. A really good mouser.
That 16 row head really does a job on those fields !!
It's an Interesting to see Laura serious while going through the gears as she drives. Don't worry about your skills shifting gears. You will eventually get to the point that it will second nature
I think she was paying attention to the tachometer.
99% of cats do not like to travel in any motor vehicle. Mine have always HATED it! Especially going to the vet! However I have met a couple of over the road semi truck drivers who have a cat that travels with them and they seem to like it? But at my home my cats are my shadows, always following me around everywhere and they plop themselves down right in front of me where I'm working. LOL! Hard to get much done! Keep on making your videos Laura and Grant! You all are a part of my daily life. Better than anything that's on TV. TV has gotten to be too crazy to put up with these days.
Awesome driving you go woman. Loved this one.
Watching from Australia.. what a Great Show.. love the kid .. Driving in Reverse.. Filling the back of the truck with Grant
Pepper doesn’t know what to think about the Combine lol. Also Laura, I just love your Braided hair ❤😊
Laura thank you for another great video, good operators “can feel “ their equipment, that’s what makes them good and I think you fit into this category. Good wishes from a rainy UK 🇬🇧
I'm a logger, but got my CDL a few months ago, you shift way more gooder than me. We also have 10 speeds.
Hi Laura, picked up on you channel 10 days ago, you were at 487k viewers.Today Oct 30 your at493k. Your getting there. Keep up the good work.
Love Pepper ❤. What a great cat.
lil Lady,,, float the gears! Sometimes if you get truck and trailer in a bind turning and turning on unlevel ground you may need to double clutch. I have been driving big trucks for 40 years. I shift the truck the way it needs to be shifted. Different conditions require different methods. You just keep doing what works for you and ignore what others think or say!
Yep, double clutching is a skill she should learn especially given she drives different rigs besides the 10 sp Eaton. In fact Eaton recommends double clutching that transmission in many circumstances. Also, did you think she was shifting a little early? It sounded to me like she was.
@@snappingbear yeah maybe a lil early but I couldnt see the road or conditions and maybe she was loaded light? What I was trying to tell her is do what works for her driving style. If she tries to double clutch she would probably miss gears and be a lil rough on the sliding clutches. Some people have a hard time learning to time when they push the pedal in unison of the shift. Push it in to hit neutral between gears then push it in to engage the next gear. It just takes practice. But in the mean time float them until she gets more driving time under her belt.
I showed one of your videos to my 99-year-old mom who grew up on a farm in Norfolk, NE. She loved it!! She was a senior in 1942 when Johnny Carson was a sophomore at Norfolk High. You two are far more productive than all eight kids in her household plus the horses! Your sparkly personality and enthusiasm for your work are so enjoyable to see! Keep it going!!
Pepper is relieved to get time away from the kittens ❤
The best way to drive, better then anyone else in the world, is to drive the way you want.
Man! Half the regular viewers are not subscribed. What are you waiting for, you can easily give her the 500K subs goal.
Cat in a cab, love it 😊
Could you give an update on Papa Kurt? He has been on my mind every video here lately. I want everybody reading this to please take some time to spend with loved ones
Hi Laura it's COOL to see PEPPER with you. At are Farm they were everywhere. But they stayed Out of the Fields . And thats a Good thing . Can't see them on ground..... Well it's aways GREAT to watch your Videos 💞 God bless you and your family 🙏
Yay! Only 8k to go! Ridiculously adorable. As usual. 💕
What engine did Grant put in that truck?! 😂
Aren't you worried about the coyotes getting pepper? I once lived in a large subdivision across from an old dilapidated pottery plant that backed up to corn fields. One summer, a pack of coyotes moved in and made their den. Almost every night I'd hear them yelping after a kill. In a matter of one year they cleared the entire subdivision of all the outside cats. They even almost got my dogs one night. The neighbors finally became aware of what was happening to their cats. Hunters must have gone in and cleared the den because I don't recall hearing the yelping for about that long before I moved.
Nice job driving, real driver's float the gears no clutch needed 👍
That kid gets absolutely BADASS KUDOS! I had to drive reverse more than forward more than I was allowed to get a license
30 year’s experience driving a truck and I think your killing the truck driving! You go girl!! 🛻
Howdy from Texas ! Pepper the cat-dog! Hope you get it all in soon ! Blessings overflowing! Thanks for the vids !
Are you planning to continue to post as many as now after Harvest??? It seems you enjoy harvesting corn more than soybeans....What a pro changing gears in the Rig!!!! awesome
You're a farmer who has many Jobs. Truck driver among these. Whatever works for you as far as shifting. I've never heard much grinding. Just be safe and sure to change from high to low and visa versa on the range selector when going from high to low. It will not change on it's own as I read somewhere in the comments.
Gees Laura, you are handling that shifter like an old pro👍👍👍
Love all the videos from Ontario Canada we are doing the same here right now Corn
The first seconds I must laugh so much as you drive the sound like a racetruck 🙈🤣. Never seen so much corn in the base where you go with your truck 😳god bless you 🙌🤗
Having pepper in cab helps your mental well being,millions pounds that’s well done.
Such a chilled harvest.Pepper co-havester and Grantruising and Gage reversing....What a team🤣🤣🤣🤣 enjoy the day.
How are you Laura I think so too Laura, people with the right instructions can develop their abilities and do anything I loved this video broadcast, I got a few more subscribers Today For your channel
You are doing an excellent job shifting that truck. If you ever get tired of farming I will get you a gig hauling logs out of the swamp!
I was going to say the same thing about that transmission that somebody else already said . With that transmission , when you're in 5th gear you can go to the high side of the splitter while still in 5th gear and it won't shift unless the stick gets moved into the neutral position , but then I don't know if you're doing it that way as a timing mechanism by moving your hand or not , just saying by going to the high side while still in 5th might throw your timing off for getting 6th gear smoothly . It may make a clunking sound but it won't hurt it any , I did it that way for 21 years .
Your doing a good job driving that truck 👍👍
Hi Laura, Loved your accelerated shifting bit. You shifted like a "long haul" driver with a close-ratio transmission, 😎
Cousin posted a 27row
That was crazy big
Our first combine was a pull behind
Thangs have changed so much
