Hey Steve. Sorry to hear youre sick again, but with that work you done its maybe natural. Different weather condicions, heated cabin with dry air, and cold moisture air outside. You should do like we do in Norway, and drink fishoil in the winter time. 😇 Not many people like it, but I love it!
The guys who loaded the combine were first class. They knew what they were doing, and gave you advice on how to tie it down, and let you know the condition of the combine so you wouldn't have any unexpected surprises. Great when you get to work with good people.
Albuquerque is a beautiful site to see about 3:30 in the morning, especially when you been driving in the desert all night. Not much traffic, no lights, just stars, Art Bell on the radio and you just pop up over the hill and those lights. It felt like I finally got somewhere. I use to drive it every sept. going home on leave from Camp Pendleton, Ca. to Ind. back in the late 80's early 90's, loved it!!!
Needs extensions on side of trailer for front wheels.I remember helping to load a combine when they had to remove the front wheels and put the front axles on blocks.It was a newer combine than the one you're hauling. It was a New Holland TR96 that was sold at an auction to someone up north. I remember when they delivered a similar combine we had to put front tires back on. The driver that delivered it had to come a special route due the size of the combine.
Man I was coming from Los Cruces I come up to a old FLD Freightliner it looked like it was on its last leg I pulled up and looked over and the driver it was a Old Indian he had long Gray hair and he looked over at Whit the biggest smile that was a good memories thank you 😊
Interstate 44 runs right smack dab through my town of Wichita falls Texas 😂 wow never seen you come through here but hope I see you and Orwell come through here sometime if so and I catch you on the interstate I'll give you a big ole Texas welcome on the CB Steve be safe keep america rolling on 18 wheels, over
Thanks for the ride it was very entertaining. I just have a few questions for you. On the videos how do you switch from front to back (Rear of bed) and what type of cameras are you using all around your truck, and what type of software are you using to do your editings? Thanks for taking the time to read this. May God Almighty Keep blessing you and your family. Have a great day.🙏🏼
Watch ya here off and on God bless you bro I'm from Cali not a liberal I'm all over the us just bought a new xL fixed 3 axle like that truck of yours old school anyways maybe run into one day be safe God bless !!
Hi bro chk in r yall and tim ok . The Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed , r yall ok , just making sure yall didn't go that way . Ok catch yall on the flippy flops and keep praying and keep walking tall always. 🕊🦅🎚💪🙂
If you tie your cargo down from front to center and back to center cross chaining the piece of equipment THE LOAD cannot travel any further than the chain slack, more efficient and a lot safer. Check out how railroad personnel tie down equipment on railcars. NOT A HATE COMMENT, just a constructive suggestion, remember it could be someone you know traveling in the opposite direction
hey Steve... i kinda wandering with you being sick all the time and so often.... could there be something in side Orwell that is making you sick? just thinking out loud here. praying you get well soon AND stay well !!
I don't think he is. He said he was only getting 5-600 bucks _loaded,_ meaning from Missouri to Wisconsin. Far as I know, you don't get paid for deadheading.
@@chrisherman7531 He's leased through Weidmeyer so they would cover his fuel and pay him for the load. I think his main problem is that it was gonna be _only_ 500 or so for the load instead of much more if he was loaded up back in Albuquerque to Wisconsin rather than Saint Louis to Wisconsin.
He only gets paid a % of the load. The company he is leased to pays the fuel & a few other things but he has to pay other things. He stayed with this company as they have been really good to him, but he is not payed by the mile like a company drive is.
Well Hero, the last video l watched you were delivering in Milwaukee after missing from Ohio line to your place and back to Milwaukee and now your in Albaquickie. Whats going on with your channel?
Steve - you''re the professional driver, not I. However, eastbound out of Albuquerque on I-40, just east of jcn 167 I measured you as only 1/2 second behind the dark pickup truck - is not that a little close, even for an empty Orwell?
He's a one man operation, doesn't have a platoon to back him up nor Uncle Sam's wallet to pay up. If you're truly tired of seeing his "poor maintenance", 👉🏻🚪, don't let it hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
Steve... I literally geeked out this morning when I saw a "sucker truck" on a flatbed this morning (3-24-24) leaving Wisconsin on our way to Pigeon Forge, TN, and the tractor said "Wiedmeyer Express"!
I'm betting the leaking boost and intercooler on the intake manifold was causing most of the rolling coal in the videos. A cold cylinder will blow black.
a boost leak will cause it in general. Fuel of x being put in is expected for expected air of y but you are getting z air which is less so more excess fuel for the air == coal .
@@arbiter1 also lower combustion temperatures as it can't burn the fuel properly due to low cylinder temp until it dries out. The leak couldn't have been very bad as it wasn't discovered until recently.
When they first went up to 75 mph in New Mexico, just west of town I got a ticket for 78 in a 75. I hired an attorney and beat the ticket but the attorney was $400. I hauled an airplane one time, a prime mover from an old F unit, a wooden boxcar from California to Utah, a couple tank engines, they went up to Wisconsin somewhere. That was the good thing about step deck, it was always something new.
Deadhead? Try Bobtail from Altoona, PA. to Dallas, TX. 1325 miles! That's my second favorite story! My favorite story: Tempe, AZ to Boston,MA. One microchip! Loaded in a Packaging envelope stuck to the inside trailer wall. 2650 miles! I believed what I asked the shipper was going to get me fired from my company. The question was, "Have you ever heard of a company named UPS?" Now, I did get paid for both and would do the microchip again in a second. The Bobtail is a different story. I felt every single bump on the road for 2 days! I lost a couple of CDs. Apparently, something raddled loose in the player and scratched them. Back story on that run. I drove for a mega carrier. My truck broke down in Altoona. Repair ETA was a week. The international dealership had one of our trucks repaired and ready to go. It's former driver was already gone and was issued another truck. His old truck, the one that was ready, had been "Sold". They (my company) just needed to have it delivered to our terminal in Dallas. Something was wrong with the 5th wheel, and my company decided they could replace the entire assembly cheaper than the dealership. Thus, I couldn't even pull an Empty the 1325 miles. My third favorite story: picking up brand new trailers (somewhere in AK) and delivering the trailer to Fort Payne Alabama, pick up loaded trailer there, split it off in West Memphis. Pick up another new one and repeat......for a WEEK! very nice paycheck that week! I could the pick-up in about 30 mintues, the drop and hook in 15, the split in under 5 minutes. This was the era before the 30 mintue break. Rocking and rolling for a Week! ......... the irony, I'm retired now and moved from Nashville, TN to Fort Payne, AL.
I use to could do that, but now I'm too old and fat to get around like that. Besides I would have to have stairs just to get into the truck. I have to use a cane to get around. Wish I could still be on the road, I miss it roo much...
I hauled cars for 35 years in and out of the cab in all kinds of weather and to keep from getting the sniffles I took 1000mg of vitamin C every day. It worked for me.
Thank you for showing a lot of the details of loading and securing and tying down the loads. I find the millwright end of what you do just about as fascinating as the driving. Well, I have say I like the road better, but the loads are a large part of the interest. And that Caterpillar is set up so sweet running, it's actually a joy to the ear. Thanks for letting us tag along.
This was filmed before that, back in January/February when there was a big snowstorm in the Western US and he was delivering snow plows in UT, CO WY and lastly in NM. This is the return trip from that back to WI. The after cooler situation is more recent, within the last week or so. His live streams have that footage where he was _supposed_ to work on it but it turned into a big Q&A, as he stated in his recent vid going over the service, the leaking coolant, the after cooler gasket failure and the need for a new after cooler.
No way Steve! I... almost always beat you to the punch. Most of the time I hit that like button way before you put up the graphic on screen. Sometimes I hit that button three or four seconds into the😂 video
Omg mate , I would have kittens driving with a load hanging over the edge , do you worry? And keep checking every 100 miles ? . Carl uk 🇬🇧, I’m just a bus driver
New Mexico & Albuquerque are so far left they may never get back to center left alone lean right. No illegal drug enforcement, revolving door justice system and no push back to the open border. Too bad for the good people of NM.
I'm surprised you never have gotten the opportunity to load one of those farm combines until now. I would have bet my shirt you would have hauled at least one combine since you haul those agri filler trailers all the time.
Considering how old it is, without all the electric garbage, it's worth it just in the lack of downtime compared to newer units being locked out to farmers to work on. Screw JD and their fight against Right To Repair.
Beautiful scenery,thanks for the ride,you and Orwell safe travels 👍🏾
The old jd 6620. Brings back fond memories.
If FMCSA would allow us to use yard move in the truck stop you'd see a lot less creeping.
Makes to much sense.

I remember the first time I watched a guy split a lowboy like that. I was just as fascinated by the process.
Steve, congrats on your 100 000 subs and Happy 40th Birthday to the great Orwell.
Another great video of Orwells travels
Fantastic video Steve! Orwell is looking great!
Look after Steve Orwell. Make sure he takes his vitamins and gets his rest ! 😂
Stay hydrated and safe travels
Interstate 44 runs right smack dab through my town of Wichita falls Texas 😂 wow never seen you come through here but hope I see you and Orwell come through here sometime if so and I catch you on the interstate I'll give you a big ole Texas welcome on the CB Steve be safe keep america rolling on 18 wheels, over
Thanks for all you do
Steve, next time you go out west, take Orwell to the Grand Canyon. And bring Jen with you!
Let's get get.. stay safe from Chattanooga Tennessee
Steve I hope you seen all of those invention at the truck show they would make your life a lot easier 😅
I live just outside of Wittenberg Wisconsin on the west side by fireworks country (the big blue barn) 😊 and Hatley is only 8 miles away from me 😂 3:02
Safe travels steve, question though why not take your dump valve for the air bags and move it into the cab?
Nothing More Permanent Than a Temporary Fix, I reckon
Home foe Easter 🐣 watching Orwell again steve loading combine harvester
Sometimes the old equipment probably costs as much to transport as hammer price at auction was
Great content Steve 👍👍👍👍

I've seen similar combines used in demolition derby for the big boys

Hey Steve how are you doing today my love so how was the all American truck show I hope you get better soon and lots of rest and some hot soup
That combine looked to be all of 10’ wide, hope you charged them extra!
Well it doesn’t help that a lot of companies take pc and yard moves away as well. I hate creeping but sometimes I have to do maximize my time.
FSC Farming!!!
Awesome
Where you hauling that combine to S.D
Good evening brother
hey Steve... i kinda wandering with you being sick all the time and so often.... could there be something in side Orwell that is making you sick? just thinking out loud here. praying you get well soon AND stay well !!
I'd be sick to if I had to stay at that Love's lol
Omg love the black coal
Did you ever do something to secure the steps?
What is the heavyest thing you ever hauled with Orwell
Is this video before or after the work on the aftercooler? How did that turn out?
Hey Steve, why don’t you try moving small airport equipment likes small aircraft, tugs and something like that
steps come off with a few set screws
That's my home state new mexico🎉
There ain’t no way I haul that thing my ass would be drew up in a knot the whole way
Hey Steve. On that cabover did you rebuild it from the ground up? Is there anything on it that doesn't work?
Could be you're getting sick coz you're not eating Jen's good cooking. Take care!
Well... if you get paid deadhead miles....what's the issue??
I don't think he is. He said he was only getting 5-600 bucks _loaded,_ meaning from Missouri to Wisconsin. Far as I know, you don't get paid for deadheading.
@danielseelye6005 well then he's dumb for working there. No self righteous o/o would accept getting screwed. Every mile paid or no go.

It's out of order. This was the return leg of his multi snowplow delivery back in January.
ALBQ, NM itself is a crap shoot.
What does Orwell get on fuel mileage?
That T/A was shitty in '05......
do you use paper logs?
Yes he does. "Orwell" doesn't have a computer other than Steve's laptop. It's mechanical so has no place for an E-Log to connect
@@danielseelye6005❤
That combine barely fits the width of the trailer. Definitely a wide load.

At 10:48 passing a Navajo rig. I remember that brand from 65 years ago. Dang I’m old! 😂
Nothing passed MOFFIT !
Judging from the sound of the exhaust, I think you have a leak somewhere. Maybe even the coolant intercooler?
That CAT like belting out that smoke ,well done Steve.
Did we miss getting the new intercooler installed??
They’re not being released in the order they happened
Yeppers
The after cooler situation was a week or two ago, this trip was back in early February
I meant to ask you. Did you get a plaque from RUclips for 100k subs?
I’m a farmer in Easter North Dakota. In my area, that’s a small, older combine, most of that age machine were hauled to Mexico.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
I'm from there will around and they r motorcycle racing tracks. I raced there in the 70's.

So many middle lane holders.
Hope you remembered to put the steps up.
