  • Combines Need TLC Too - Montana Wheat Harvest
    In today’s video, we officially finish our winter wheat harvest! You’ll get to see us move fields as we help our neighbor finish up his harvest as well. By the end of the day, I run out of oil and realize I don’t have any on hand! It’s a great reminder of just how important it is to give our combines some extra TLC to keep them running smoothly throughout the season. Stay tuned for all the action and lessons learned on the farm today!
    I hope you enjoyed this weeks video!

    My Story:
    Hello, I’m Kate Stephens, a 20-year-old 4th generation farmer from Montana. My family's roots in farming run deep, stretching back to 1912 when my great-grandfather emigrated from Denmark and began cultivating the land we still work today. Farming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started learning the ropes at just two years old and now operate one of our combines during harvest. I believe in the importance of understanding where our food comes from, and I hope to share that knowledge in a fun and engaging way through my UA-cam videos and products. Kate’s Ag is more than just a brand-it's an extension of our farm, a celebration of the grains we've been growing to feed families for over a century. I hope you find as much joy in my products as I do because they carry the legacy of our land and the hard work of generations.

    Daily start up of equipment for the day... The first thing is check all fluid levels... Combine engines do chew up oil as they work harder and steady RPMs. Mostly.. so yeah if low add when ever its hits the low marker bring to the top, which is the running level needed. do not be surprised if it consumes oil faster than normal. Change oil every recommend XXX number of hours of operations and every fall when storage for winter. Oil not changed after working for the fall harvest is very acidic and will cause damage over winter.
    Take care KATE.

    Kate still loves seeing her bunnies! Daaw! Seen any of your favorite pheasants lately? :-) I feed the birds and bunnies in my back yard every day and I'm often reminded of Kate when I see them because she adores her bunnies and pheasants! Yes, checking the oil is a daily requirement/must on such big diesel engines (yours has over 500 HP) and it can be very harmful and very expensive when running too low. One other youtube farmer lost a very expensive diesel engine on his sprayer rig a couple of years ago and the engine on it is tiny in comparison to the one in your combine! It cost him over $75,000! Yikes!!!! It's so nice for you and your family and crew to help out the neighbor in harvesting his crops! :-)

    Kate, read the maintenance section esp the daily part in the Deere's 9870 operator's manual that came with that combine. Well you learned about engine oil level that day. Sensors may not always give you a warning. You will learn a lot from the info in the manual & possibly save your father money in the long run. All equipment you operate should have manuals. Hope you all get a good price for your crops. Kate your content is so interesting & great!

A gearbox or hydraulic motor, I don't know, became very hot. It sits directly below the plastic fuel tank. The whole combine burned down, total loss.

    I can't not not comment. Sorry. So Kate. A couple of things. The most important. You need to get your Dad a sweatshirt with your logo. This is a priority. Dark color white lettering. There are places around here that do shirts and things (also You Tube swag.). Soccer teams, Kids sports, etc. Get a half dozen extra large for your Dad and one for Trevor too. It's marketing Kate. And then, Respect for your Dad. No questions Kate. When your Dad is working on the rig (like changing the oil) don't bug him with questions. Your job would be to follow directions. And then finally. What is it with you and Trevor??? Hmmm? Seems like a nice guy. Get him in the loop. What's he doing in the back of the truck for the road trip? Ok ~ That's it. 😜. New Hampshire.

    Shame on someone! That oil should be checked first thing every morning b4 you start the engine. Not sure how many hours since it was checked, but that's a lot of oil even for a full oil change interval. I would check the inner air filter to make sure it is clean. Probably just go ahead and replace it. If that thing is plugged the turbo will suck oil out of the engine. I'd check the turbo right away too. Then keep a close eye on that oil. A replacement engine for that combine will run your dad around $47,000.
