Your philosophy on problems has a more highfalutin' title. It is called "Occam's Razor". Congratulations Laura, you are now a 13th century philosopher!
Laura, you are a true optimist! Hope you never have cause (such as the flat tire) to change from that in your personality. Electrical problems can be a nightmare that can have you chasing the problem in order to resolve it. Luckily, it was an easy fix on the combine. I truly hope tomorrow is a better day for you!!
Thank you. ❤️ Modern technology. I’m thinking 🤔 Draft Horses I seen the Amish in Indiana with 6 team’s of horses. Mow a 20 aces of alfalfa in about 45 minutes. I was surprised at how much they could do in such a short amount of time. Y’all have a beautiful day ❤️
Probable a mouse chewed through some wires. A mouse got into one of my machines and cost several thousands dollars. Lesson learned set out mice traps on the equipment undercarriage especially if they are sitting in the field.
On the subject of zebras vs. horses... "Occam’s razor (also known as the ‘law of parsimony’) is a philosophical tool for ‘shaving off’ unlikely explanations. Essentially, when faced with competing explanations for the same phenomenon, the simplest is likely the correct one."
The problem with hoofbeats and horses is that some people tend to forget zebras exist. That's why at least one patient organization of a rare genetic disorder (the one for Ehlers Danloss Syndrome) has a zebra as their mascot.
We had that once, luckily my partner was in mobile range and called me. Roadside assistance / breakdown rescue people said they wouldn't send someone out because it wasn't a mechanical breakdown, and said they'd call a tow truck ... well, that never arrived. So I drove out, changed one tyre with the spare, took the flat tyre back to a dealer next door to my office. He fitted the new tyre; I went to pay him and he said "No, you go get that other tyre first, you can pay me then. While you're gone, I'll get the other tyre you need off from across town." Two things happened after that: I bought all my tyres from that guy from then on, and we cancelled the roadside assistance membership.
When you face any problems with technology or your vehicles you can most of the time unplug the battery and let it sit for a while then plug the battery back in to the combine or tractor it resets all the wiring trouble codes electrical everything and also instead of holding in the key to start it you can just turn the key to auxiliary and then you should be able to turn it again and then let go and then the tractor will start without you having to hold the key every time it is true for harvesters tractors combine.
Laura, you are correct! Automotive/tractor electrical diagnosis diagrams start at the battery as the first step for a no-start problem. I paid over $1000 for a fuel pump replacement that didn't fix the problem. The problem was a weak battery that dropped below 9 volts when cranked. The computer on most automotive/tractor applications takes 9 volts at the CPU to start the engine. The tech just screwed up. Your situation was probably what they call a "no Crank", the first step "Check battery charge, cranking voltage and terminals. Put that in the chapter of your book called tractor diagnosis 101.
Flat tires just suck. This coming from a person who had 2 blowouts in 1 day and also a different time had 2 flats from screws at the same time. With only 1 spare it gets depressing. I carry so many plugs now I could start a emergency roadside service lol.
It's always something? Isn't it Laura? Welcome to my kind of luck/life! There are days when everything is @ maximum difficulty. Even the simplest things. Good thing that Grant was there to help you with the tire? As far as the electrical problem, always eliminate the obvious first. When people see those error codes that tends to make everyone look past that and suspect it's computer problems. Computers need proper voltage or they will mess up like that. Good thing that the loose battery terminal didn't cause the alternator to overcharge and then fry the computer! It happens! Every new chapter watching you smile and talk to us makes our lives better. I consider you to be like family. Carry some packaged emergency snacks around in your tractor! You and Erin Holbert both need to start doing that! Some beef jerky, cans of Vienna Sausage, granola bars, something!
Laura the philosopher! Hoof beats and horses. Love it!!! Oh, why is it called a leg. I have asked several UA-cam farmers but have not received an answer.
Wow! I really hope we get to see Laura change that tire in tomorrow's video. I don't expect Grant to let her do it w/o help but it sure would be fun to watch.
It also happened while she was in town so at least they could easily get it fixed but would still have to wait. Better there than on the open road out in the middle of nowhere!
You looked like a rookie in the tractor. But l know you have did it before. Keep up the good work at the farm and the video's. May the lord 🙏 be with you and your family. From Stephen in North Carolina, Mocksville keeping your grandpa in your prayers love you and all you do.
Hey guys 🙂 Here`s another question...would the climate in your part of Nebraska be proper to cultivate / grow potatoes fx...or maybe peanuts? 🙂 Best regards Robert
cheer up, the tire's only flat on the bottom... hint: before you jack up the car, put your tire iron on EACH lug nut, handle pointing BACK (ideally, the end should almost be touching the ground), and SLOWLY reverse the car - this should loosen the nuts enough to remove them without power tools... (ex truck driver, I've 'field changed' wheels on a semi that way).... (note: if the flat is on the passenger side, point the tire iron FORWARD, and drive ahead... it feels counterintuitive, but it works)...
When you hear the sound of hooves, think horse, . . . not zebra. I used to use that illustration for students to remember when problem solving. Go for the usual first. Rule out the obvious first. Years ago I came across a truck that was stopped miles from nowhere. I got out and asked what the problem was. The fellows were looking under the hood and they did not know. One of them was training to be a mechanic. I did not want to interfere. So we chatted awhile. I saw a loose wire coming out of the distributor and it was just hanging there. So, I asked, "I wonder why that wire is hanging there?" The answer was, "Well, look at that!" . . . sure enough, the loose wire had a lot to do with what was causing the problem.
I just was reminded about an uncle of mine who farmed around Asquith, Sask., Canada. He was driving down a country road and suddenly he spotted a wheel rolling past him on the grid road. He suddenly realized that the wheel was off his 1951 Chevrolet. . . . oops. I told him he should have started singing the Kenny Rogers song, "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel". . . . if you don't know the song, just hum along.
Good Teaching Laura I was thinking what is that that gets hucked out the back of the Combine and as soon as I thought it you went over and chaeked the ground behind the combine and explained it. Good Job.
80% of breakdowns are simple issues, it's only the last 20% that take the real skills to solve. One trouble shooting/problem solving step you need to use is to think about 'where else can this particular problem appear?' so you can solve it now before other equipment downtime later. Preventative maintenance. Get a tube of 'dielectric grease' so you can go through all the battery cables on all the equipment you have to clean battery terminals and cable harness to chassis/starter attachment points and put this grease on before reassembling the cables. You will avoid many future startup and running problems. Don't forget the cars and trucks too :) ... and you've got motorcycles and atvs and ... harvest is busy so put this item on your running job log.
loose battery cables can for sure throw codes like crazy lack of power getting to the sensors. What do you do with your sow beans? What do you sell them to and for?
Laura, the first time you turn on the PTO, I'm telling you from France: pull and turn the yellow knob on your right console. To stop, just press it with your fist. My voice is not strong enough to cross the Atlantic! Daniel old farmer(70 years old) France 😂 😂 🚜
O and just to add to the electronic problem anything with a computer in it is usually very sensitive to over voltage and or bad grounds first things too look for just saying !!!!
And this wouldn't be too hard a problem to fix with the computer. If I was designing it, and it had to run off, say, 24V, then I'd be putting a filter plus a low-drop-out voltage regulator at the power input to the computer module. That way the volts can go up and down (as they do between when the engine is on and off) and the computer would see a nice stable supply voltage. But the problem with a loose battery connection is the resistance between the battery terminal and the lug is high enough that when significant current is drawn from the battery the voltage drop caused by that resistance can cause a significant decrease in the voltage seen by the computer. No input filter or voltage regulator would handle that.
John Deere's will need fixing just as much as anything Case. Things wear out and vibrate loose with anything with diesel engines and rolling over rough bumpy surfaces with no spring suspension.
Keep smiling little girl. Happy to see you washed that beautiful JD tractor 🚜I love that tractor sorry you had a flat tire but Grant can take care of that right quick he's a good boy !!!!!
Laura? How can You run Your combine and keep it so close to the edge, with out missing any cutting? Do You have tv camera's out on the ends of the combine? Thank You.
Loose battery terminal disengages power to the ECU. When power goes back on the first job is a reset. If you don't get that done it throws up codes like anything. Learned that from my nephew who repairs and programs ECU's for BMW cars. Even when the battery gets reconnected, that has to be reset for charging purposes. Modern tech is too complicated.
Why dont they make tractor cabs on top of a rotating turret like a tank so you dont have twist to look out the back? I believe with auto steer a person could actually spend more time focussed behind them instead of front. Put some cameras up front with monitors that rotate with the turret so you can see both directiond with still no twisted back.
They might be able to do that nowadays given almost everything is "fly by wire". But I suspect driverless tractors, combines, etc, will come in by then and render such systems uneconomical.
My dad was an electrical genius as well as grew up on a farm. He always said about diagnosing problems "Always start where the power comes from first (power supply) and then move along the circuits downstream." as he repaired x-ray machines, TV's radios or anything electrical. 9 out of 10 times it was always a bad power supply as the cause.
Laura, it is so much fun going with you around the place! Thanks for sharing your life!
