A steep and windy day of harvest

- FPV GoPro cam capture of hillside wheat harvest. Our harvest is dangerous without the threat of wind, and much more so with it. The wind can turn a little fire into a big problem. I take my machine Maximum level with the Hillco levelers and try to get it done. We are cutting wheat near the Pettyjohn Rd in Prescott Washington in this video.

What a gorgeous clip as this land is not leveled and harvesting is fascinating I love it nice to watch this video and the views are also fantastic Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the comment!
Great Video Trevor, Nice to watch you drive the contour(s) thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony!
Hi Trevor, Thanks for sharing more of the hot and dusty wheat fields from your last summer season and do hope you've found some farm work close by. Happy New Year to you.
I hope so too! Thank you. You have a good new year as well!
Nice video Trevor. I love seeing the Skyrockets from you point of view after seeing them in person.
Yeah! Now you have a better idea of the extent of them. Some new people are going to be farming out that way I hear. Some people may be pulling out of the farming game that farm up there. Hopefully the next people are alright with someone flying a drone when theyre working.
Yow Trevor man, thanks for another impressive video-!
I need to get some combine time this coming harvest.
Those hills are crazy steep! I'll stick to farming flat ground here in central iowa. 😆
Some people keep saying we should have pasture and not farm fields. That doesnt sound as fun to me. Neither does the flats, but i grew up on pretty flat land.
Thanks Trevor. It’s good to see you harvesting again and to hear the banter over the CB. I think you shot a video of that cemetery once?
Yeah! When I got my drone I flew it from the cemetary. Good memory!
Hi Trevor, i own the same manure fork as you have on your combine 😉. Greetings from a german farmer 🇩🇪
Haha! That is funny. It works great for cleaning the feederhouse or grabbing a weed outta the reel.
Fair play then fields are never ending 😳
Fires create their own wind. I've seen wheat fires leap twenty feet or more. I can show you a brand new 6602 burned to the ground.
What length headers do you run? What’s the biggest header that you can run on those hills?
Ive seen one of the Triple reel 50 foot heads out here. Mostly though, people run the Macdon drapers that are 45 feet or the 36? foot john deere heads with no belts. theres a lot of akward places that the big heads have a hard time getting without going through it twice.
Man Trevor them,s some long fields ,how many hours a day do you cut , ,ever have any accidents from combines or carts slip down the hills ? Takes some big ones ,to operate on the hills ,Getter done 🤠
12 hours cutting hopefully. So a 14 hour day or close to most days cutting. In the newest video is spraying from 5am til we start cutting then cut til dark. Long days! Still it id the time to get it done.
Oh and sometimes people roll a combine or a grain cart rolls over (theyre designed to roll and not take the tractor). Tractors on tracks are great and safest on the hills and just slip. Though sometimes theyre sliding for 100 or 150 feet. Hopefully theres no steep edges to a dropoff which is common in places. The new combines dont lend themselves to cutting near as steep as the original sidehill combines or especially the mules. Mules would go places machines never would
Nice shots as always of home .
See you running red and green ever run silver?? on the last harvest.
No i never drove one of the silver Gleaners. I should have, but it was the owners machine that he was driving.
@TrevorStruthers ok thanks its a totally different feel . I have drove all three and gleaner has a totally different feel try it sometime if you can . Again thanks for all the show from home.
@ I rode in one and it was much akin to a spaceship inside. I didnt get any footage tho. My previous boss is a private person who wasnt so sure about me recording.
Awesome video! Going through your archives you haven’t posted yet?
Yeah, it was some good audio. I was struggling getting my microphone and the gopro to connect and had a lot of lost footage from the audio being so terrible. This all lined up and was just one day so it was a good long video of harvest.
How much does it cost to convert a combine to a hillside combine ?
10 percent of the cost is what I am told. hillco technologies website would probably tell you.
