    Zack, it's really good to see your dad in your videos more than usual. Much like Welkers, Fast Ag, Browns, etc., the presence and involvement of the older generation (also mine) adds the element of wisdom and experience. Something a country with such a small percentage of its population even involved with agriculture needs desperately. Just think what Onyx is soaking up each day he works with you, your dad and Jim.

    The build up suspense on whether the grain cart tracking was going to connect was palpable and the plot twist of the drain tile cage being what went thru the header was a big shocker.

    I smiled when Zach mentioned a thresher. I'm 73 and one of my oldest memories is a threshing machine driven by a big belt from a traction engine. They were situated in our farm yard, which seems like an inefficient workflow looking back on it. I would have been about five years old, so 68 years ago.

    Hi Zach, very interesting to see the grain cart being controlled from the combine, I'm sure the more you use the system the confidence & trust will come, it sure makes it easier from the grain cart operators perspective as the combine driver has the better view of how the cart is filling, won't be too much longer before a grain cart operator becomes surplus to requirement. 🙂🇬🇧

    Which of us farm kids does not remember the first time that his/her dad/mom let him/her drive a tractor ALL BY HIMSELF/HERSELF? For me, I was 5 years old on a Ford 900. Dad instructed me before he turned me loose: "When you get by the barn, just shut the key off." It was a trip of about maybe 60 yards long, with one gentle curve. The Ford 900 was pulling a wooden haystack, after Dad had pitched off a jag of hay for our herd of 40 Hereford Momma cows. I think that Dad walked just off to the side and slightly behind the tractor the whole way. I was ON TOP OF THE WORLD!

    Zach, the Deere cart system sounds like the system used by Ag Leader called Cart Ace. It should save the unload auger and keep from puking a few hundred bushels of grain on the ground.
    You're fortunate Onyx picks up farming quick. In a couple of years, you're going to be running the grain cart, while he runs the combine.

    As soon as he said he needs a name for the beetle, I immediately thought Baily. Every Sunday I would read it in the paper. Him and Sergeant Snorkel. Now that's old school

    It's amazing on how much technology has been given in the Agricultural world like the tractor being in sink with the combine, I think Oynx will fit right in since the younger generation are so computer literate and everything they do nowadays is on the computer.
    Oynx will be a great asset to your operation in the coming years.
