- Combine on steep terrain, sliding off the hills. Jamie takes some hills and misses the mark. Meanwhile, down on the flats, Drew is beeping his beeper at me. We farm near The Palouse in South Eastern WA State in The USA. I work for the neighbors and not my family farm. I am a 5th generation farmer technically.

Nice Video!
Thanks! Yeah she prolly wasn’t designed for it but we send it anyways.
This the type of terrain that's reserved for the red equipment only! Hard ass!!
Greetings from the uk. We have a steep valley on our farm but where you are harvesting looks much more entertaining. Sitting on the sofa while watching you on a 48inch wide screen tv is like being in the cab with you. Great videos.
TY! I am glad the video came out so well. I am something like 78 percent british myself. I think they may have run my ancestors off honestly. lol. were a bit nuts. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Trevor for another greatvideo and man that is impressive.
Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Onces when I was a kid my family went on a bus tour, and I remember seeing hills covered in crops thinking about how they harvest well 40 something years later I found out and you're crazy. Thank you, guys for keep us healthy and well feed,
I remember bus tours coming to our farm. Even though it wasn’t during harvest our dad ( I’m Trevor’s sister) took the combine out and drove it on the steep hills behind our house just to show everyone how it worked.
@@tiffrosestruthers4372 Yeah, our steepest piece at the farm is very small but very steep and next to the road. I believe thats why they chose us to demonstrate the leveling to the people on the busses.
Great to watch. Great MacDon header helps dramatically!
This is the type of video i want to see!! Thanks!!!
Great Video, some very scary driving in the early part of the video, thanks for sharing
It amazes me as a mid west farmer to see you guy cutting those kind of slopes!
Gotta get them nugs.
Change of underware required 😂 , amazing.
I remember running a 1670 out there back in the 90s you have to have some big stones and verse of steel to do that work and alot of trust in your machine.
Wow. . Respect . . Brilliant machine control. . . . Great advertisement fir Case 👍👍
Incredible, thank you 😊
Insane! My family is over in Moro, Oregon and I thought we had steep ground!!!!! Holy Shit! Watching that made me pucker :)
I’m surprised how good the crops look on those hillsides
It can look better but that super light, super white alkali soil is hard to grow anything on; it just doesn't allow moisture in, nor does it hold it for long.
This area is the largest wheat producing in the US
@@rebbroker8231 North Dokota and Kansas rank higher than Washington for grain production 👍
The 3 counties is SE Washington are produce more then any other area in us. Not buy state. Wa is half covered by mountains and trees. My lawn has more trees then ND 😂
That is some high angle farming right there lol I've never seen a combine slide like it's on a soaped tarp
Très belle vidéo 👍😍👏
Super machine 👏😍👍
Absolutely epic!!! +1 Wow!
You guys have cool-aid running in your veins. What a heart stopper when that combine went into a 4-wheel drift down hill. What if the lower drive axel broke off? I would sure want a paid up life insurance policy if I were you. Great video sir!
Great shots
Scary hillsides
Da un contadino italiano non posso fare altro che invidiare il coraggio del guidatore di quella mietitrebbia. Amico mio, sei un simbolo d' America che piace ammirare, non quella delle bombe!
Grazie. e sono d'accordo con te
Ma prendere una trebbia autolivellante no? Andare in un campo del genere con una bestia come quella è un bel modo per rischiare di ammazzarsi.
Altro che coraggio, siete degli incoscienti, per non dire di peggio.
Senza contare che chissà che grano esce, trebbiato in quelle condizioni.
That was a crazy ride for me
This guy can hold the line.

There are a type of harvester called self-levelling since they remain level even on slopes greater than 40%. Where I live, in Italy, they are very common beacuse there are so many hills
That is intense. I thought that out bluffs here in Wisconsin were bad. Whole new perspective right now. Be blessed and be safe. You talked about moisture issues this year, seems like it all over.
Not a great year, thanks for checking out the channel.
I love to see more farming footage from this incredible part of the world: the Midwest farmers get too much attention haha.
I would love to start realizing even a fraction of the views and subscribers they get while the tractor drives for them.
You just got yourself a sub from Norway!
@@TrevorStruthers For sure!
Good job
Looks like good cattle ground
I have some hills here in New Jersey and there are some sidehill combines about 50 mile from where I live In Pennsylvania but this is really really hilly.
That is Def Pucker material
Should make everyone appreciate their loaf of bread!
I just don't know how you manage to keep those things running in all that dust. Has to be really tough on air filters bearings and grease fittings.
Awesome 😎
This is crazy 😀
Brown trouser (pants) moments right there!
Pretty wild
Talk about giving the seat a Mohawk
Pucker factor 11!
And in the UK they want farmers who farm flat fields to grow weeds instead of grain.
Absolutely balmy how the uk government will pay more an acre for rewilding than crop production!
Very true bonkers
Not really ... once you figure out what all the worlds governments want.
IYKYK
Get a Second Amendment in the UK!!
Cover with solar panels or buildings too.
You'd need a change of trousers with you!
Massive pair 🍒.
That’s some seriously dry fields
12 inches of rain average each year. It's a desert this far west. We are moving east nearer the mountains and into the rain band in a few weeks.
Betcha he was losing some grain out the back on that steepest part
Hillside machine and a auto self leveling shoe...probably not much.
You lose more going up and down hills than you do going across them.
For the life of me i couldnt understand what that CLANGING noise was then it dawned on me it was coming from two big brass things on the driver's seat
En ciertas pendientes, sudas, buena máquina y mejor maquinita
Si, paquito es el mejor. Gracias!
Somebody has to seed that as well.
Cool
Nice
Aqui no sul do Brasil seria muito bom
At every bin clean-out, I hope the driver gets a change of underwear
Hello, Preise Tell the Combine driver to slow down the reel speed and lift the reel up so Thatcher online the tines Touch the crop. Just to reduce loosing cernals.
Dad? Is that you? I will tell him to slow down the reel. One tine it hits the cernal.
How does he sit down with balls that big??
1:01 minimum product in bin ,,,,, auger out and uphill
Do you want me to bring up a 1470 and cut those spots. Yes the new combine are productive. But Hillco sucks on steep ground. You will never beet a Reyco suspension for steep and soft.

extreme hill
Hi, where is the Jhon deere equipment, u were running last year ?
It's running up the road. They want me back, but I was only working harvest for them. Now I am on full time at another farm that needed someone year round.
I'd like to know from one combine driver to another how do you get that man's balls in to the cab 😂
He drinks a lot of Mtn Dew and smokes a lot of cigarettes.
Where's this at damn???🤯
Prescott washington
would duals on the rear axle help the back from sliding.
maybe give us more traction. dunno
Slow down your reel, son. Youre hammering the heads of that wheat too much.
How do you fertilize and spray this ground?
My vector self propelled can stay off of a lot of the steepest stuff by getting partially out on it. It has 125 foot booms. This is all no til one passed, so we fertilize when we seed.
I am strictly Illinois flat land...............no hills for me , afraid machine start sliding trip and flip over !!!!
You get used to the sliding eventually
@@TrevorStruthers Well, if you say so from your experience. I think I drive with the cab door "up hill" with door open ready to jump !! Our area is flat as far as you can seeeeeeeeeeeee !! Just stay safe
The reel is turning so fast the wheat is spinning over the top. Why not go up and down the steeper hills?
Would never make it up or down the slope unless it had wide tracks.
I go straight up and down it in my vector, sometimes. It is rough as hell though because it's planted along the hill. Erosion reasons.
This may be true to go up and down, sidehills on a combine with rear wheel steering and tracks... Doesn't work.
What slope would that have been, the max 38% .? I guess the operator was local , experienced and knew what his machine could do. Very impressive
Yeah, Jamie runs the scary stuff and hes been cutting these fields since he was a young man. He is now a young man of 50 something.
38 percent of what I always wonder. We unload on the go around here at up to 23 degrees, just as long as it can make it in the cart and the little combine can cut it...we farm it.
Only thing to say that's not place for a sidehill combine, a similar slope requires a full hillside one
Huh??!!
@@MilkMan608 combines able to level till 38% side slope, 30% uphill and 15% downhill
We use some CASE 1460's in the steepest stuff, but they dont level front to back. We mostly cut sidehills not vertically when we can help it.
Сиздин корсотуунузду кордум абдан кызыктуу экен мен да шофермун
Thank you for watching my show!
@@TrevorStruthers Кыргызстандан салам
Why do you have racing slicks on the front tires and not bar tread?
Flatland combines with stock tires on it im guessing
Thats some scary hillsides.
How often do you lose a combine?
Why the "turf" tires, instead of deep lugged "ag" tires?
The less the soil is disturbed maybe the better. Who really knows. Probably just whichever is on sale at the time! lol. 4000 dollar tires im guessing.
with 4WD?
Yeah, all our combines have rear wheel assist.
Where is this I really want to do this
Palouse region in southeast corner of Washington state. The hills are solid topsoil and ideal for productive growing of wheat. Good enough that it's worth dealing with the extreme slopes.
Prescott Washington, dayton washington
Driven Combines all over the World this is my bucket list yet to be ticked
Does the word INSANE mean anything to you lol
Writing from Australia , I would like to know why you guys run diamond tread tyres on your combines ? here in Australia they are dangerous in hills and on stubble. We run dual tractor tread tyres in situations like this.
We use them for flotation out here for the soft ground. All the maximum leveling old machines hd them as well. Yea they can slide, but they dont sink into the light and deep dusty soil the way a tractor tire would.
Thanks for your reply, will there more track type combines used in the future in your farming area or are they just a fad ?@@TrevorStruthers
@@ashleyflint3501 The Seneys, who run 6 CASE 9240's during harvest have demo'd one. They tried it out in the soft "white ice" of Touchet, WA, which is very similar to what we farm in the skyrockets as far as soil type goes. Let's just say it didn't do well. Seney wasn't impressed and he surely is not ever going to buy one with tracks. Maybe people with mud and flat land want tracks, but not us. The tracks seem to only be good on something articulated, like a quad track out here.
Thanks Trevor, very interesting. To me, anything with tracks is just another major cost for when parts and repairs are needed. It is really horses for coarses. Thank you again for the insight.@@TrevorStruthers
You need a good Butt-o-Meter doing this.
You think this is wild, you guys should see the stuff we do out here when theres no daylight
The shapeshifters and zombies rise for sure out here.
Why are they farming basically a coulee side there just that little land there or they just trying to max as much money as they can. I’m in southern Alberta and never seen a crop on a coulee or hillside. Our farmers just make there field closer to the highway every year if they have no fence 😂
The soil is good and the averages are higher in the hills, perhaps because we farm two sides of an acre. Acres are measured from the air, so really we have more land than it appears because of the topography. Growing something on it also helps with erosion and weed control.
Have a good one.
@@TrevorStruthers Huh. Does rain run off quite a bit still or how does that work?
So I'm just curious. If the combine driver would have gone slower on the hills would he have slid? Plus it seemed like he was throwing allot of crop out the header? Just curious is all
The header is having a hard time getting it to the middle on that steep of a hillside. It's a really short crop so we are cutting it to the ground.
Nah, slower isnt always better. Sometimes you have to accelerate out of a slide in order to not only go straight sideways. Like a controlled slide is preferable with forward momentum being carried. I do some crazy stuff in my vector that these combines also do. I just do it at 8 to 10 MPH in it.
@TrevorStruthers ahh ok. Just different from what I have seen. Everyone does stuff different.
I wouldn’t ride a horse over that hill
Are u realizing enough profit off those hills that having cattle and grazing is not similar return? I assume you are but just wonder what the margin difference would be?
Some do try to run cattle on this type of stuff. It can be done. There is money in both. We have cattle.
Trevor, is that Sky Rocket hills where you are cutting-?
Near them. Across the highway, but yeah close enuff
Most of the stuff we harvested at the beginning was true skyrocket hills. They run north of prescott on the map East to West. Were out on the western edge of the skyrockets.
Wasnt that even safe?
Nah, but we planted it and you gotta reap what you sow. Or so the saying says. 😅
I’m wondering about the guys who have to til the ground and sow the wheat. They don’t have the comfort of self leveling. I would imagine sore backs and butt cheeks for them unless they have something like a race car seat with side bolsters
Its hard on the back is all. Always leaned over all day
Pas de cailloux au champ ??
Not many, if any. No.
Better off on tracks.
Meh!
Those front tires are 👎
😮😮😮😮🙈🤟👏👋🇵🇱🇵🇱
