Quick clarification everyone! The comment about $10000 dollars an hour is referring to how much the headers are yielding in regards to product harvested. Canola is less tons per hour so is yielding $10000 per hr whereas wheat is around $40000
You could start a competition between the wives, if each one of you tells your wife that the food one of the other wives brought out was really really good, you could end up with three course meals with vintage wine and table clothes by the end of harvest. Or they could find out and you end up with cold coffee and a packet of biscuits.
Too much preventative maintenance? Nah, no such thing. That just means you guys are winning! That, and you’ve figured out what to focus on. Great progress, thanks again.
Amazing job on the editing of this Matt. The drone footage is pretty damn good as well. Cheers to you and your family for letting us into your work life.
Love the drone footage and gorgeous sunset,fantastic that you can take a few minutes off to have a decent feed and relax, not often that happens like you said a snack while you’re harvesting is the general rule, nothing like trying to eat and bouncing up and down at the same time
You need a steel A frame to hitch for your Ute Matt, then you could just hook the Ute on behind the dozer and have some wheels when you get where you’re going 😬. Great video, that sunset footage was absolutely outstanding 👍
Long days waiting for break downs trying to fill in time productively and hoping nothing goes wrong Preventive maintenance well worth time and effort And wife’s feeding hungry harvest workers not a easy job but rewarding seeing empty plates
I love your Vblogs. I know you have 2700 hect. of land in NSW, but could you show it on a map? I live in Denmark where we also grow a lot of Canola (but we call it Raps), Wheat and Barley( for brewing)
Another great video with the beautiful Aussie sunsets. My family also would stop for tea, it was the only time we got to see our young kids before bed for many months. They are all married now and remember the tea time in the paddocks with dad. Another sure sign of rain is if you see 2 crows flying backwards by himself is a sure sign of rain
We call them storm birds. They migrate down from Papua New Guinea every year and we have found that they are not very truthfull. At least the dry is good for harvesting and allows for a break for lunch which very rarely happens as the machines have to usually work for as long as possible every day incase of wet weather.
I was having a conversation with. Komatsu field mechanic about the D575 and I had mentioned this dozer was discontinued back in 2012, the last one going to an Australian coal company bringing the total number ever built to 53…he said they still make them and he assured me they were still available in Australia…now I don’t know how that is possible unless there are companies that have that much pull with Komatsu that they still make them specifically for those companies…if that’s the case, they are likely built and sold as components rather than whole machine’s because they wouldn’t pass emissions today I’m sure…in any case have you ever considered a D575 for your operation?…you have such a beautiful property and you guys certainly know how to farm!..cheers!
Matt, sorry to hear that you've had a few things stolen like lights, GoPro, etc. Hopefully they've got a conscience and hand them back - unlikely in this day and age I guess unfortunately. We'll just have to buy some more merch to help out. I know it's a busy time of the year, but keep these videos coming - they're excellent!!!
I don’t like the way the coolant came out like that MATT, its not a good sign if the engine hasn’t been running for some time. I’m sure BRAD would have to agree as that is a sign of pressure remaining in the system and it shouldn’t do that if the engine is cold .
Great video and drone footage. I remember seeing a crop of canola at Greenthorpe with way too much nitrogen and at least a metre over the top of the fence, it looked impressive and yielded poorly at about 1 tonne/ha. The plant needs to put its energy into seed and not leaf. Excellent crop at 1.5 t/ha. We just had 34 mm on the tablelands. Good luck for the rest of harvest.
Awesome video!! Beautiful scenery. It puts a great perspective on how large the fields y'all farm. Glad you're having an uneventful harvest. Great family meal. Of course Brad's into the food already. 😂😂👍
Nice to see you all enjoy some (brief) family time for a collective Al fresco evening meal during harvest. Sounds really nice and civilised. I don't think I saw my wife's open eyes for weeks during this period! 😂
Love seeing grain being harvested. You guys have a safe and prosperous harvest! That combine plug brought back memories of myself plugging one up, but mine didn’t have a reverser. I had to manually reverse the cylinder or table auger to retrieve wrapped crop. It was generally from running into Johnson grass or cutting after the dew had dropped.
If the manufacturer of the transfer trailer will weld the square tubes twisted by 45°, no material, such as the rapeseed grains here, could be deposited on them 😉 And as everytime, again a fine video!!
Great video there Matt, Phil & Brad , good to hear that your harvest is going well in this difficult year. My Son’s a contractor in this area, yields are certainly variable he’s found to.
For the expensive hardware, I guess it is less than satisfactory to have a fix-as-fails maintenance strategy. Perhaps for some operators that are looking to step up, they might try to get away without the cost of preventative maintenance, hoping that they get lucky (without major problems), whereas more experienced hands might have better insight into the degree which they can make their own luck...and figuring out where they might trim some cost to reallocate elsewhere in the future. The variability of yield might be the big equaliser.
I envy your family Matt the way you all get along now days it’s a gift from God. Loved seeing your children so happy to see you and sad when you had to return to working and keep say bye. You brothers are lucky men to have a dad to instill family and God. The drone shots of the combine’s and the sunset were gorgeous God sure knew what he was doing. Thanks!👍🙏🙏
I’ve been tempted ask if you’ve had issues with pigs. 2-3 hours south of you and they’re been running hot this year. Need a gunner setup up on the harvester to pick ‘em off as you go.
We are direct heading here, windrowing is where you cut it after all the pods have filled and lay it down in a line then come back once it’s dried down to harvest with a special pick up attachment for the header👍😁
Quick clarification everyone! The comment about $10000 dollars an hour is referring to how much the headers are yielding in regards to product harvested. Canola is less tons per hour so is yielding $10000 per hr whereas wheat is around $40000
Jeez I thought my hourly rate was good. 😂😂
@lastguy8613 it's all in prospective you work all year then only harvest for 2 weeks of the year.
So I guess that's for both headers not per header, when Brad was chatting about dinner time did wonder if Matt would be BBQ the gowanna
Well done all, thank you for sharing. Meal times are important, thanks ladies.
You could start a competition between the wives, if each one of you tells your wife that the food one of the other wives brought out was really really good, you could end up with three course meals with vintage wine and table clothes by the end of harvest. Or they could find out and you end up with cold coffee and a packet of biscuits.
Another great video production by the Jackson brothers, (Matt). Lots of videos coming out lately which is really good to see. Thanks for sharing 👍
Well I bet there won’t be many people getting harvesting shots with a D11 in the picture. Great footage Matt.
Too much preventative maintenance? Nah, no such thing. That just means you guys are winning! That, and you’ve figured out what to focus on. Great progress, thanks again.

Thanks! Appreciate it😁
Enjoying watching your harvest, like the drone footage
Beautiful evening drone footage Matt, you are becoming quite the cinematographer.
Thanks!
One of my favorite videos Mat well done sir, hopefully no dramas with the rest of harvest. I enjoy seeing how and what you guys do down under 👍🏻
Love the drone footage and gorgeous sunset,fantastic that you can take a few minutes off to have a decent feed and relax, not often that happens like you said a snack while you’re harvesting is the general rule, nothing like trying to eat and bouncing up and down at the same time

Are you piloting that drone from your dozer
Impressive 👍👍🍻
Australian winter crops are estimated to be 48.72 million tonnes for 2023/24, down on the previous year's 63.85 million tonnes.
Long days waiting for break downs trying to fill in time productively and hoping nothing goes wrong Preventive maintenance well worth time and effort And wife’s feeding hungry harvest workers not a easy job but rewarding seeing empty plates
Beautiful sunsets 🌇 too
Rusty would have given that lizard a thrashing especially if it got near any of the grand kids or Peter 😁

Great harvest they aren't like this often

Hi Matt we were just wondering what the black stuff that has appeared on your face is???
That was the aftermath of fitting the starter motor to the truck so no idea other then grease or something😂
I love the content here, it's really Aussie! Well done! :))
-12 celsius here it got up to zero yesterday 6:17 am here in western SD now
Great vids guys. Thanks for spending the time to bring them to the rest of us.

Good to get on top of the pigs when it is dry.

Great job driving the combines guys
You guys certainly put in the hours.
Love the family time with the kids
I don’t like the way the coolant came out like that MATT, its not a good sign if the engine hasn’t been running for some time.
I’m sure BRAD would have to agree as that is a sign of pressure remaining in the system and it shouldn’t do that if the engine is cold .
Good to see you are getting a good run.
Should have pulled the ute behind the dozer less walking
Great video and drone footage.

The plant needs to put its energy into seed and not leaf. Excellent crop at 1.5 t/ha. We just had 34 mm on the tablelands. Good luck for the rest of harvest.
What caused the coolant to push out of the top of the radiator when you checked it, Matt?😮
Such a shame about the yields it looks a really good crop , frustrating
Dinner time in the paddock is awsome. A great family afair
Channel bill cookoos. I used to call them storm hawks way back when
My mates best canola in WA was 1ton per hectare at slower speeds too
Awesome drone footage Matt
Great job moving tiny one Matt
G'day lad's. It's a shame you can't use a forage Harvester to utilise the rest of the canola plant. Thanks for your time and effort.
It never stops to impress me the size of the amount of work it is to get the canola stored...!
You can take the scenic route Matt with Tiny One! :))
I'm enjoying the videos and the commentary, I have a question: what do you do with all that left over canola stalk?
It stays there and slowly rots into the ground👍😁
Another enjoyable video Keep up the good work
There is nothing I can say ,the Video speaks for it self great day cheers 🙏❤️👍😁👍🦘🇦🇺
Great footage
hows the oil content going with the canola
Little bit low at times, between 39 and 42 I think👍
Enjoyed it😊
Dinner with the family is such a good idea 😀
Awesome video!! Beautiful scenery. It puts a great perspective on how large the fields y'all farm. Glad you're having an uneventful harvest. Great family meal. Of course Brad's into the food already. 😂😂👍
If it costs 10k an hour to run a machine imagine what it would cost an hour if it was broken .
Great video as always
I didn’t quite understand his comment there I think he meant the combine yields $10,000 per hour ( not sure if that was in a good crop or a poor one)
About $2500 per day to run each header..
Just be thankful that your little friend 🐊has four legs and not the one without 🐍😱. 👍🏴
I love Isuzu vehicle's. We can only get commercial trucks in the states now.
Nice to see you all enjoy some (brief) family time for a collective Al fresco evening meal during harvest. Sounds really nice and civilised. I don't think I saw my wife's open eyes for weeks during this period! 😂
when is the meet n great of the rest of the family
Haha they might warm up eventually👍😁
We're praying for you and all of Australia as we hear of the wildfires - may you be protected from any harm.

Jacko do you eat the wild pigs
Some have but we do not😂

Good content team
Amazing footage and beautiful country side
What is the oil content?
It was a little lower then normal, I think 39 was the lowest and 42 was the highest👍
Thats a heart achingly beautifull sunset.
Good morning from Texas
🐂🍉🍇🥩🍷🍺🏈
Morning!
I envy your family Matt the way you all get along now days it’s a gift from God. Loved seeing your children so happy to see you and sad when you had to return to working and keep say bye. You brothers are lucky men to have a dad to instill family and God. The drone shots of the combine’s and the sunset were gorgeous God sure knew what he was doing. Thanks!👍🙏🙏
Absolutely! Gods been so kind👍😁
Great video. Beautiful farmland.
I’ve been tempted ask if you’ve had issues with pigs. 2-3 hours south of you and they’re been running hot this year. Need a gunner setup up on the harvester to pick ‘em off as you go.
🤫😂
Eddie is a wild one. That's good.
You guys are doing a great job!!
Yep. Coolant looks good.
whats the difference between direct head and windrow? That's confusing to us city folk :)
We are direct heading here, windrowing is where you cut it after all the pods have filled and lay it down in a line then come back once it’s dried down to harvest with a special pick up attachment for the header👍😁
Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate your response. @@thejacksonbrothers
Very good Video 👍 👍
Let’s go Anna
Good job mate
Great content matt. Good to see you guys are getting a half decent yield. Do you have many troubles with wild pigs
Cheers! Yep we have our fair share👍😁
@@thejacksonbrothers do you have anyone to control them
@@Johnno082 yes we have someone that goes there regularly👍😁
Go lads
Great sunset vision, @$10000 an hour to operate, I hope the canola oil markets are up to expectations .
Channel Bill COOKOO
Cuckoo.
Thanks for sharing god bless everyone I remember when I was about those kids age and stopping by the field with mom and running up to hug dad
