Thanks, Molley for your time and effort sharing your love of farming. You bring back a lot of great memories for me. I grew up in the 50's and 60's farming with my dad and although my primary career path led me to become an educator I kept my hand in farming until I retired in 2007. Our overall operation was modest and no more than about 600 acres between my dad and grandad's farms. We had cattle and hogs and fed much of the grain we harvested through them. From the mid 60's we switched to strictly beef cattle and stayed with raising Angus until about the last four years of active farming on our own in the mid 80's. It can be a great life. Good to see you enjoying it.
Your doing great Molly you will be just as good as Shane's Mom running all the Equipment in no time. Please keep up the great work we all love watching your vids. Thanks.
Quack, quack, quack. Nice looking tators! As we say down in Oklahoma. Being a retired mechanic, I got to drive all kinds of vehicles. They all took some getting used to. At 68 I have learned a lot of things, and still learning. I used to tell co-workers and friends that the key to success is not being afraid of failure. I used to have pic of a horse that was tied to a plastic lawn chair. The horse would stand there all day, because it did not know the chair could not hold it back. We have to expand our horizons. Think outside the box as they say. Great job, keep up the good videos.
Hi Molly, you wanted to know what we would like to see in future videos. You doing what you do learning new things telling us about Shane's mom and a little history of Bell Farms. Along with your great can do any thing attitude, Beautiful personality and include some of Shane, Ray and Dave they have so much valuable talent and experience in so many interesting fields . You could make several videos a day and never run out of interesting content. Please keep sharing what you guys do and we will keep watching.❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Visited the store on our way back from Nova Scotia yesterday and bought some nice new potatoes. Was able to explain some of the process to Paula from watching your great content.
G'day Molly. Way to go kiddo :) If you put your foot on the throttle and the truck struggles to respond, drop her down a gear. Third week of spring down here in Australia. We had an early start, lots of blossom and warm days and then got hit hard with three bad frosts last week- lot of damage. Only the old missus and me here now. I've planted our spuds but nothing else yet- ground's still cold. One of our little hens brought out ten from sixteen eggs yesterday- so we win :) Love your enthusiasm- it's always handy on a farm! Jay.
Great job! Remember the clutch pedal only needs to be pushed all the way down to squeeze the clutch brake to put the transmission in gear. The rest of the time you only use the top half of the pedal stroke.
Yes! I keep trying to remember that. Each time I drive the truck I get a little better. I filled one more time after this vidoe and I get to do it tomorrow again! Yay
Another great video Molly! I liked your truck and the color red. It look brand new from the outside and it looked even better cuz it matched your shirt! Your first harvest of potatoes 🥔 😋 is here, yahoo!
Oh Molly... you kill me....with all the coaching you are getting, there is no way you cannot succeed at driving that truck!!! Great video! You go girl!
You did fine for 1st run of the season….was fun watching you get the job done! Looking forward to watching this year of you guys harvesting crops out of the field. Have a safe harvest.
I am always amazed at the amount of potatoes you grow each year. It also seems like I see a new implement or truck every week. One hell of an operation.
Your going to be professional Synchronized shifting lady soon ,,,and you will be craving driving those good ol beautiful trucks, don’t fret, you will be fine and smooth on your shifting , its way more smooth shifting out useing the clutch ,,,it will be on a day that you would never expect, good job Molly, stay classy, beautiful.thanks BigAl California
Such great memories starting the potato harvest! Grew up in a small town in southeast Idaho, and ever since I was 10 years old to the point of leaving home I was always working on the neighbors farm and harvesting potatoes every fall, absolutely loved it!
Molly, that STERLING almost looks too good to be a FORD! Just remember, a Truck is a Truck. It just has different Brand names. You're doing Great! NOTHING Sexier than a Beautiful Woman driving a Truck. Thank you
You are definitely one of my favorite creators Molly. It’s wonderful that you have so much new material to cover. Keep approaching things exactly has you do with no fear of messing up. All of us have messed up way more than once.
I like the tom boy look. My best friend in California was a tom boy and she was a blast. She wasn't afraid to get in the mud with the rest of us. It was years ago. Her name is Heather and to this day I still think about her.
Molly you are doing so great you are making us all proud of you ,with your can do attitude along with the fact that you have the best teachers in the business. Great work guys you all work so hard . Thank you.😊
You are too hard on yourself. You are game to try new things and don’t let your anxiety prevent you from. I like your infectious laugh. You are the best.the videos are great. Be safe and Gob Bless.
😁My favorite truck collor RED .🥰What gear depends on the grade of the road . Steep gear one. flat Gear two . Once yo get rollin shifting is easy . dolbble cluch low range break clutch hi range . watch RPM and listen to the motor to shift. 1200 to 1500 rpm with a 300 rpm drop .practice long enough and you will get so good that the clutch becomes only a way to start and stop. doing great 👍Thanks
Here in MD (near VA) I use Oats, tillage radish, and crimson clover for a cover crop behind sweet corn. I like it because all three of those species winter kill. Planted in September here, they get some very good growth before they die off.
I see your double clutching when you shift. It won't be long and and you'll be shifting without the clutch. Don't be too hard on yourself. Every truck is different. I'll be by the store soon to get some of those potatoes. Keep up the great work!
I agree that you're going to find that speed shifting is so much easier. Run every gear to the max, then shift. And you will find shifting to the next gear is like a hot knife cutting into butter, it just slides into the next gear.
Hi Molly, the first day in a new truck can be weird it won’t take long, the door doesn’t seem to shut right if it takes a couple times try lowering your window down then shut the door there is a vacuum in the truck it needs an air escape good luck you will sort it 👍
You do great work. Looks like you’re trying to move that stick a little too quick. Every truck is different too!! I’ve driven probably 75 or 100 different trucks over the years at work because we keep them 5 years and we have a fleet of 36. They all have their own personalities. Love your videos and I love your personality!! You and Shane are great!
Hi Molly! Been following this channel almost from the beginning. You did great for the first time driving the red truck. Important, in my mind, you are not afraid to try or to get your hands dirty. I have lots of respect for that.
Ive watched most of your stuff molly, and its So good to watch a well run, efficient farming set up for a change. Truck wise, ill pass on what i was told, 'cos you're doing what i was, Don't be afraid of some revs, take it higher and let it sit at those rpm's, then shift, and slow the shifts, let the gears move, you'll get there!! 👍🇬🇧👍
Subscribed around 2000 subscribers, now 43200. Nice to see the channel grow. As a farmer in Belgium it is nice to see how they do it on the other side of the big pond😀. How life is explaned on the farm is also educational and not too chaotic. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on your first year on youtube!
You doing great, only way to learn and improve is to do it. Your husband does great by letting you do it, you are hard enough on yourself. Thx for the video !!
Mmmm.... 🥔s. Great first load, you did pretty good with the 🕹️(yes I know this is a video game controller, but this is the closest thing to a stick shift emoji that I could find). Great video as always Molly and Shane 👍🏽😎👍🏽
Greetings from Georgia! Love your Videos!! Like the Farm, Pack, Repair and BTS stuff. Would like to see more Chicken, Duck, Dog stiff as well. Congrats on 1 year and keep up the good work!!
Nice job Molly driving the red truck. Its not something that's easy especially when they are loaded. Or keeping pace with Spudnick. Love that name. Lol
That’s awesome. You totally nailed it!!! Way better than any of us watching could ever do. Love those potatoes also. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🥔
You did fine for the first time with the Sterling. I personally never started in 1st, but that depends on the rear gear ratio. Looking forward to next year of videos. This were great.
Thank you Molly for filming editing and posting, I'm looking forward to all the next ones, theire very interesting and fun to watch, love from a Dutch guy living in France.
I remember my first days driving a really old potato truck. First day sucked.... each day after got easier.. You did very good. Thank you for sharing. Brought back many fond memories.
Interesting video Molly. The potatoe crop looks fantastic, size and amount. Could you give an in depth video on the working of the potatoe harvester? This weekend RD Offutt had a potato day at his farm south of me. All you can pick. I went to the event for the first time to see his operation. The potato were a little smaller then I expected but the amount of equipment was surprising. I counted 15 tri axial trucks of every kind and lots of John Deere tractors. Any way thanks for taking us along.
Hello I’m mark in sac..I have drove cement mixers all my life..but.. when on the job sit or just pulling out of it..I stay in a low gear..3rd maybe highest….its all different on the road…55 max….always remember you are loaded…slow on corners…I have always been safe….just thought I would say that…..nice truck….fun channel
Nice job Molly, driving a truck under a spud digger is a bit of an art form. More and more farms are using trucks with diesel engines and auto transmissions because it's really hard to find help that can drive a truck with a gas engine and manual without killing it at low speeds. Greetings from Idaho, where both the Double L bed on your truck and the Spudnik digger were built.
As New York Yankee catcher once said "As you improve, you will get better" I know you are a quick learner and will have this mastered in no time. Congratulations on year one!👍👍👍 😀
Molly love the videos and learning about farming, my question is do you have a video or going make one where we learn a little more about you and the farm? Maybe do a q and a video. 😊

Molly...one thing that I admire about you...is...how positive and eager you are to tackle a job! (Wait, that is TWO things! Lol)😊
😊😊
Your doing great Molly you will be just as good as Shane's Mom running all the Equipment in no time. Please keep up the great work we all love watching your vids. Thanks.
Thank you so much! 😊
You were born to drive truck Molly . Keep on rolling .
Have to admit didn't expect Molly driving truck 🚛 wow awesome

You will do fine. You are a very gifted lady. I don’t think there is anything you can’t do. Stay safe. You and Shane are a wonderful couple
Thank you! We really do love working together :)

You're going to do fine Molly because you aren't afraid of trying new things and challenges. Keep up the good work and your great personality.

You did great on the red truck!!
That was so cool to see you get to drive the red truck.
Yay learning
Love potatoes thx for sharing
Shane’s knowledge of different things (hydraulics, engines, refrigeration, etc) is just so vast. I know he grew up doing those things, but still.
Very talented
You do great work. Looks like you’re trying to move that stick a little too quick. Every truck is different too!!

I remember my first days driving a really old potato truck. First day sucked.... each day after got easier.. You did very good. Thank you for sharing. Brought back many fond memories.
Yes! The second run I did went even better!
my grandfather drove a late 60's or early 70's international potato truck back in the day.
Your doing a great job little girl the more you drive the better you will get. Drive it more take it to the grocery store 😅.
I miss potatoe harvest. Did it for 4 years in Monticello, ME, for Tommie Good of Good Farms.
I read it as her driving a new potato truck...darn dexterity
Oh she isn’t new, but she is new to me. I think it’s around 20 ish years old
Interesting video Molly. The potatoe crop looks fantastic, size and amount. Could you give an in depth video on the working of the potatoe harvester?

You are doing great. It’s harder to shift in the soft dirt than on the road.
Molly love the videos and learning about farming, my question is do you have a video or going make one where we learn a little more about you and the farm? Maybe do a q and a video. 😊
That’s perfect soil for growing peanuts as well.
