Truck drivers are like sheep, they don't like to be alone,they love stacking up and traveling and loading and unloading together. Gravel haulers are identical
You know some of them super truckers will wait on each other so they can visit on the jabber box running down the highway it can slow things down on a short haul but don't make much difference on a long haul
just a little tip, you should be setting your bucket to scoop another scoop as soon as you dump and go for your next scoop. wasted cycle time. So as soon as your turned to the pile you're bucket should be ready to push into the pile. It adds up bud. *Great Video*
well the rams on the doors won't take more than 3000 psi and the hoses are to small and there is about three 90 degree elbows, so we had to lower the pressure coming from the thumb circuit we didn't buy the bucket the grain company did and its not from the original inventor of the speed loader bucket, it's got lots of issues, any way the dam doors won't close before your ready to make another scoop, so one way to make them faster is to just touch the travel pedal and that seems to boost the flow or pressure but we were told that after 3000 psi it blows the seals on the ram, so we do what we can with it,
Those combos are allowed 105,500 for agriculture , yes they can run 24/7/365 the one with the belt trailer wanted Jake to keep loading him, so when he got to the scale he was 120,000 he got an ass chewing because the elevator doesn't want over loads, as they don't pay per bushel overloaded
We didn't have it made, the grain co. did but its some outfit from a 605 area code, this is a knock off the original is made in Iowa, google "speed loader bucket" and you will see the original
Same thing happened when I was loading liquid manure three tanks would get loaded and three would leave, I asked them to space it out and they said they couldn't pass on the lane way so they followed each other around, they also changed by the hour and that way that sat a third of the time waiting to get loaded. It's the hurry up and wait game
it all makes sense. as i was driving across your grate state on the way home from the big Cat show. i yelled out hey it's J-pay dirt then i got a blank look from my better 1/2. now she know's i was not nut's thanks
Around here the farmers either haul directly to a terminal or bin it on their property for hauling later in the winter. Whats the point in hauling it to a pile, then hauling it out from there? Just doubles fuel cost and makes for dirtier grain that requires more cleaning in my opinion. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind piling and hauling?
Not enough bin storage, bin storage for large quantities cost's five dollars a bushel to build. ground piles work very well if managed correctly and can handle a lot of incoming traffic, elevator storage is the ideal way to go but when grain is so low in price it's just not affordable to build storage, it cost's about 3 to 4 cents a bushel to load it out with the speed loader bucket, and as far as fuel is concerned there's really no difference, the farmer uses a certain amount to get it to the pile or elevator then it goes into a truck and off to it's destination which it has to do anyway, unless it goes on a train, I don't know how the numbers come together but I just look at the elevator and they seem to make plenty of money, guess it's the volume☻
Gotcha, makes sense. Around here its more economical to either truck straight off the field or bag/bin it for something to haul in the winter. We are a mainly exporting grain market here in SK.
If it's done correctly the waste is minimal, Storage bins along with all the necessary support items, such as air systems and elevators are around $5 dollars a bushel so a one million bushel storage would cost 5 million dollars the ground pile is very very very cheap compared to a bin, but there are some disadvantages also, but they now have air systems that pull air so the tarp is vacuumed down, this pile has damage from an improperly installed tarp
Round here the answer to your truck question is the first one is the guy that speaks English and knows the way. The other 2 just follow him It's so bad I've seen one break down or get pulled by the cops / DOT, and they all have to stop and wait if they get split up they are screwed. In Canada right now they even give them the tests in their own language with an interpreter if they don't speak English or French. The biggest problem locally is the low rail bridge underpass with measuring devices and automated flashing warnings to use the alternate bypass route if you are over the height limit. The highway signs are not written in their language or french of course, in a lot of canada west of Quebec. so the dumb S.O.B's ignore the lights, then crash into the rail bridge at posted speed and hit zero pretty quick with a loud crunch or bang sound !.
Same here last harvest the Mexicans bringing wheat to the terminals can't read the scale tickets much less road signs I don't know where they buy there license
I know Jake has 10000x the experience I do, but I am a bit confused why say at 3:45, he waits until he is in position before fully curling the bucket. Worried about hitting the tracks or visibility maybe? Either way cool video. I do notice the paint gets rubbed off onto the feed, but it should be a small quantity and paint isn't all that toxic anymore.
So, the bucket mount is not angle forward far enough, so he can't curl it back enough so the only way to get it level is to stick out which causes the weight to be to far out and makes the machine tippy, the manufacture has changed the mount so it's not an issue, Jake had to figure it out and make it work I will show him your question and see if what I said was correct,
It's fun to see how things are done around the world, thx for the upload. 2 questions, why not use a wheel loader and what do they do with the wheat? I asume it's not used for food?
The speed loader bucket is faster, and the wheel loader gets its tires in the wheat and can't clean up as well, they still use a loader at other sites but it takes a really good operator to not do a lot of damage, it is used for food it gets cleaned and goes to a flour mill
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day. Goodnight the greatness in you is beautiful
That's quite a tool, beats the heck out of an auger!! So about 12000# per scoop... In Idaho, do you need all of that trailer to haul a 336? I think in MT, we could legal that on a 3 axle lowboy and 4axle tractor... That's a real nice excavator!
I could scale it also on a 4 axle, I drove her over the scale without the jeep just to have a look, and I had 50,000 on the drives and when I had pulled ahead to check the trailer axles , I had no more just walked into the scale house and one of the drive air bags blew! KABOOOOM! scared the shit out of everybody, it came in at 80,000 net but in Idaho I have to pay a ton mile tax so the more axles I have the cheaper it is
Wow, sitting on the scale isn't the place for that to happen haha! Funny how each state his different, wish they would adopt a universal set of rules. Don't you have some type of "offtrack" rule there too?
Jake has gotten pretty good at loading them to weight, it's rated at 200 but he's not filling it totally full, thats a lot of weight hanging out there, the one belted trailer, he kept having him fill it and when he got to the scale he got an ass chewing I won't say what he weighted here, but it was incredible☻ 50 bushels would only be about 3000 lbs was that a typo?
As always great video and you always have something funny for us LOL. A thought on the timing of the trucks. like when I was trucking! how about several of them stop at the same restaurant and some don't could that be the answer?
I like the close up on top of the load... Looks like an awful lot of white caps!!! Perhaps a wee bit o' readjusting the o' combine might have been in order.... That, or running when it was too tough to run clean. (LOL, like it ever gets too damp where you're at.... Run 24/7 there.... Willamette Valley is a bit different.. we can't get going before about 10am.... Done by 9pm..)
They do like the state guys, they all go dump....then the first and second guy park along the road and BS for 20 or 30 minutes while the others dump, then they all leave and show up at the same time. Used to happen at the quarry I hauled from all the time. You'd be there to get a load and there would be 30 state trucks lined up in front of you.. and they would all load then go park under the underpass until about 10 of them were loaded, then all leave together.
loading logs is the same way you can have the truck show up 40 minutes apart first string second string their back-to-back-to-back maybe 5 or 6 in the middle are separated and in the last five or six or back to back to back
We call tipper trucks (UK lingo) (dumper trucks) pigeons because most are dumb and jus float about aimless most of the time ! Great shot with the camera on the top of the boom ! And the joke had me laughing my tits off
You know you were fancying yourself in a giant shovel nose coal bucket lol .Looks cool ! Thanks Jeff ;-) The difference is owner operator versus company driver .They do the same thing trashing around in truck stops , instead of rolling coal !
Well, the excavator does it faster and cheaper, the loader wastes more, turns the ground to powder then in turn wastes more grain, the loader can't mix some of the stuff that will trigger the sniffer, we can load everything with the ex, and not trigger the alarms, we have figured out how to do it, we can clean up off the floor better, it works and works really good, we were skeptical at first but I'm here to tell you and excavator is the way to go
@8:43 and then THIS happens. OUCh!! @#$@### How many times before the piston or the bracket needs to be repaired? Yikes. I thought he was operating at a reduced speed, but ...
I thought that's why farmers join co-ops. To share the costs of the big equipment they all need. I imagine theres not enough farmers nearby doing the same crop.
@@michaelmccarthy4615 They don't share the cost of equipment, a co-op does fertilizer fuel and chemicals, along with assorted other things related to farming, hell they even have a C store, there isn't enough storage for grain anymore, grain is worthless here and is just a rotation crop they are still getting paid what they were in the 30's for the crap, if the gov didn't pay out a subsidy for the junk no one would grow it
@@Jpaydirt gotcha. I wondered how subsidies were involved. I know it can be complicated. I read that farming is tougher then ever for smaller producers. Btw, I enjoy your videos they are very informative as you are. Thank you! i have a few friends in Idaho and get up in to your neck of the woods now and then.
It seems to happen several times throughout the video. At the very start you have the truck idling, then the next scene soon after you are talking while driving and the volume is much much lower, so the viewer turns up the volume to hear you. Then at 1:17 the volume comes back hard and the viewer must turn down the volume again to prevent blown eardrums. Most editing software should have a feature you can use that will scan through the finished video and normalize the volume levels for you.
Okay thanks, the first i did on purpose, the horn and the engine start, the joke is an iphone issue, and the rest is normal, so i will tone down the horn and the engine start and stop using my iphone until i get a new one, appreciate the feedback
They all wait for the bum buddies to unload that's why they show up all at once . I've been hauling grain for 7 years up in Canada had friends like this and I gave them shit lots of time
Just a question, is there a benefit to storing grain on dirt as opposed to concrete? Seems to be farming's dirty little secret - eating food off the ground. LOL
concrete would be better, hell bin storage would be even better, it's cheap and they don't pay as much property tax either, bin storage cost's $5 bucks a bushel to build and grain isn't worth much so there isn't the profit to build right now
That's a lot of money having that new Cat out there loading grain, back when I was a operating, it has to be way up from then, just for the 977L they charged 125 dollars an hour, that was in early 70 Seventy, but I was running, Hine Weiner, Cat, Koenig 505 and 545, an old link belt cable back hoe, which was super dangerous to operate, couldn't let anyone around you,, wish I was operating the Cat's now day's there's no work in them, most are Joy Sticks now, back when I ran, it was both feet and both hand's, no air, plus being super careful people in the hole, you we're wore out after 10 to sun down a lot, but the money was good
Depends on what is the Base they're working on..they get paid for more "clean" grain and "damage" crush grain is a loss of value... I've thought the same thing as you before until I researched it further.
About the cow/Sheep/lemming mentality i have seen that (been part of to) quite allot in road construction. One reason is the machines, like in our case we had Cat 735c, Volvo A30 and Komatsu 350 all with different top speeds, Then we had 4x2 dump trucks in the form of 2 year old Scanias and couple of older Benz trucks. Scanias ALWAYS circled the Benz trucks cause it took up to a minute for the Hydraulic system to kick in to lift the bed. While the scanias were usually ready to lift just before getting to the dump area. Then there's the fact that some drivers don't like or just cant drive max speed (we have one that is more or less blind as a rock,,, which is really scary when you see him coming down the center of the road)
Nose to butt and Pull over and wait Bs they play. If they can’t see the others tail lights there los. There only Steering wheel attendants. Not actually truckers
noticed the guys who travel together seem to be stopped the most by DOT. Hilarious watching the guys sit their killing time. Can always tell which company pays by the hour and which one pays by the load.
Truck drivers are like sheep, they don't like to be alone,they love stacking up and traveling and loading and unloading together. Gravel haulers are identical
Rocken Roller isn't that the truth, I stagger them in the morning and after the first round they are all bunched up again , drives me nuts...
You know some of them super truckers will wait on each other so they can visit on the jabber box running down the highway it can slow things down on a short haul but don't make much difference on a long haul
People are SHEEP 🤣 most people are follow the crowd 🤣
Thats a pretty damn cool bucket
just a little tip, you should be setting your bucket to scoop another scoop as soon as you dump and go for your next scoop. wasted cycle time. So as soon as your turned to the pile you're bucket should be ready to push into the pile. It adds up bud. *Great Video*

Thanks you get the shots !!
Really Fun watching! Really enjoyed the ride on top of the excavator going down the highway!
I thought I'd been tasting dirt in my wheat lately
God created men then he created Truck drivers
You sure? I thought it was women then washing machines ☻
Hi Jeff, great video, any idea what the first truck with the pup grosses? also they allow wide loads on Sunday? here no weekends or holidays.
Those combos are allowed 105,500 for agriculture , yes they can run 24/7/365 the one with the belt trailer wanted Jake to keep loading him, so when he got to the scale he was 120,000 he got an ass chewing because the elevator doesn't want over loads, as they don't pay per bushel overloaded
looks like corn to me. where did u get that attachment or who makes it.
We didn't have it made, the grain co. did but its some outfit from a 605 area code, this is a knock off the original is made in Iowa, google "speed loader bucket" and you will see the original
Gary Tuttle Far from corn haha.
I forgot to add that I really like your videos. Please keep at it.

No matter how good the excavator operator is he is only as fast as the slowest truck driver
it all makes sense. as i was driving across your grate state on the way home from the big Cat show. i yelled out hey it's J-pay dirt then i got a blank look from my better 1/2. now she know's i was not nut's thanks
Where did you come thru I15
We like to run together for a reason buddy, it's a brotherhood

How do you stay cleaned up as you go?
well I shower every day and wash all my major crevices,
I'll ask Jake he's the wheat master☻
I did paving for awhile and it was the same way we had 2 transfer trucks going and they would leave spread out and always come back together
no the first ones unload and wait on each other they like running together
eric corbitt
exactly what i's thunking
Yea its cool sometimes but being so close and running local u jam the while operation up like u said
Thank you for the video and Take Care 👍👍😎😎Keep the jokes coming!!
Truckers are herd animals.Well, most of them.
Is there a lot of waist when Grain is piled like that ? Why not put it in silos? I'm no way shape or form a farmer so I have no clue
If it's done correctly the waste is minimal, Storage bins along with all the necessary support items, such as air systems and elevators are around $5 dollars a bushel so a one million bushel storage would cost 5 million dollars the ground pile is very very very cheap compared to a bin, but there are some disadvantages also, but they now have air systems that pull air so the tarp is vacuumed down, this pile has damage from an improperly installed tarp
teller of truth
Why do you think I asked a question?
Problem with the scheduling is coffee and donuts at the truck stop.
Why not haul grain with KRESS 200C ?
Haha trucks always wodd up!!!
Logger Wade Whoaaa!! looky here jeffy!!! Tater showed up!! lol yeehaaww!! HOWDOO Tater!! ;-)
yes and you two talk the same LOL
Howdy fellers hope you all lookin good over your shoulders!!!! Keeper tween the ditches... and as I always tell Steveyy keep it outa your butt
OMG that's funny......keep it outa your butt☻
Lol classic jeff here boys!! and I see Ole Albert has a perdy good lock on that pile eh bud? Lotta red in this one! ;-) And nice work Jake!
Is using a excavator the best machine for loading trucks with that material ? I would think a loader would be better?
No this actually kicks ass over a loader time wise , plus your able to sift through and remove damaged grain easily, there are many other advantages
That's some dirty looking wheat there. Would never expect that much chafe mixed in with the wheat with good combines.
bigwheelsturning All on how the guy sets up the combine. It makes a huge difference.
Round here the answer to your truck question is the first one is the guy that speaks English and knows the way.

there is a coffee pot involved. the first two drivers sit and wait somewhere for the third to catch up
Or a lunch stop.... or something else more interesting that causes them to depart all at once for your location, just to keep you grumbling
It's a trump conspiracy and I think the Russians are involved also, I'm calling CNN ☻

How do you get 400 bushels in a 50 bushels pup trailer?Perhaps the Cat has a 10 bushel bucket?
Jake has gotten pretty good at loading them to weight, it's rated at 200 but he's not filling it totally full, thats a lot of weight hanging out there, the one belted trailer, he kept having him fill it and when he got to the scale he got an ass chewing I won't say what he weighted here, but it was incredible☻
50 bushels would only be about 3000 lbs was that a typo?
what just happend to your comments and the aussie you were commenting with, there gone WTF?
Wheaties ?
As always great video and you always have something funny for us LOL.
A thought on the timing of the trucks. like when I was trucking! how about several of them stop at the same restaurant and some don't could that be the answer?
well their getting paid by the load so if It was me I'd be in overdrive, double overdrive☻
I like the close up on top of the load... Looks like an awful lot of white caps!!! Perhaps a wee bit o' readjusting the o' combine might have been in order.... That, or running when it was too tough to run clean. (LOL, like it ever gets too damp where you're at.... Run 24/7 there.... Willamette Valley is a bit different.. we can't get going before about 10am.... Done by 9pm..)
wow how much do they waste doing this surly they would have paved this before they started piling it up in the first place
They do like the state guys, they all go dump....then the first and second guy park along the road and BS for 20 or 30 minutes while the others dump, then they all leave and show up at the same time.

Pretty slick
loading logs is the same way you can have the truck show up 40 minutes apart first string second string their back-to-back-to-back maybe 5 or 6 in the middle are separated and in the last five or six or back to back to back
The drivers hang out at a Stop or Titty bar for awhile so they don't finish too quickly.
Seems like lots of grain being lost.
oh my god if I could show you the mismanagement
The drivers wait for each other and drive in a convoy.
then they can't complain when they wait to be loaded can they?
VERY GOOD
Don't you guys lose grain from it sitting right on the dirt instead of it being on cement
Yes.
Wheat is cheap and mostly is used for animal feed. There are tons of other wheat for the bread we eat!
Yea that wheat is so cheap they just turn about 500 chickens on the pad when there done
Jeff you crack me up!! 😂😂
You still on the chain gang bustin rocks☻
nope i left that clown show for another clown show
12000 lbs. per scoop. Would take quite an auger to keep up with that
We call tipper trucks (UK lingo) (dumper trucks) pigeons because most are dumb and jus float about aimless most of the time !
Great shot with the camera on the top of the boom ! And the joke had me laughing my tits off

Don't know how I missed this video but better late than never. Those drivers that run together we called them NBB's ---- nut and butt buddies.

Buddy truckin. I hate that
Who did they call Knife River? Should be able to beat that bid pretty easy lol
No, but something similar☻
Heaven for mouses.
Why not use the 988 Cat to load truck and the truck driver run in teams
because a loader pounds the grain into the ground and wastes a lot more, it also will turn the floor into bug dust
@@Jpaydirt thank you didn't think of that only loaded rock,asphalt & dirt before thank you Jpaydirt

I'm no farmer, but isn't this where grain elevators come in handy....?
$5 dollars a bushel to build a bin, so 1.9 million bushels X $5 = $9.5 million bucks. for everything else there's Master card ground pile☻☻

Built many trailers like the ones seen in this video when I worked t Western Trailers.
How much are they now?
Jpaydirt no idea. I recognized the trailer. Best to contact Western Trailers sales office.
somebody said $130,000 per set
They all wait for the bum buddies to unload that's why they show up all at once . I've been hauling grain for 7 years up in Canada had friends like this and I gave them shit lots of time

Just a question, is there a benefit to storing grain on dirt as opposed to concrete? Seems to be farming's dirty little secret - eating food off the ground. LOL
concrete would be better, hell bin storage would be even better, it's cheap and they don't pay as much property tax either, bin storage cost's $5 bucks a bushel to build and grain isn't worth much so there isn't the profit to build right now
That could be corn meant for plastics or fuel
Wheat is cheaper than dirt.
I think you need a new camera, the video is quite grainy
That was filmed with an old Kodak playsport
@@Jpaydirt Boy that shot went over your head!! LoL
That's a lot of money having that new Cat out there loading grain, back when I was a operating, it has to be way up from then, just for the 977L they charged 125 dollars an hour, that was in early 70 Seventy, but I was running, Hine Weiner, Cat, Koenig 505 and 545, an old link belt cable back hoe, which was super dangerous to operate, couldn't let anyone around you,, wish I was operating the Cat's now day's there's no work in them, most are Joy Sticks now, back when I ran, it was both feet and both hand's, no air, plus being super careful people in the hole, you we're wore out after 10 to sun down a lot, but the money was good
20 yrd mulch bucket on that loader and do 450 bushels per scoop
To much damage to produce running it over
@@kevinmruel5528 how would a bigger bucket cause more product to be run over?
Depends on what is the Base they're working on..they get paid for more "clean" grain and "damage" crush grain is a loss of value... I've thought the same thing as you before until I researched it further.
About the cow/Sheep/lemming mentality i have seen that (been part of to) quite allot in road construction. One reason is the machines, like in our case we had Cat 735c, Volvo A30 and Komatsu 350 all with different top speeds, Then we had 4x2 dump trucks in the form of 2 year old Scanias and couple of older Benz trucks. Scanias ALWAYS circled the Benz trucks cause it took up to a minute for the Hydraulic system to kick in to lift the bed. While the scanias were usually ready to lift just before getting to the dump area. Then there's the fact that some drivers don't like or just cant drive max speed (we have one that is more or less blind as a rock,,, which is really scary when you see him coming down the center of the road)
PINK tacos?
You buddies who like to go down the road chatting on the radio
It's hard to get decent help with anything
alot of times its where your unloading u sit and wait and other guys end up catching up
Truck drivers always travel butt to nose! That way they dont get lost!!
Trucks dont get more than the length of a mic cable apart

Start putting camera in the TRUCKS or start docking pay
Used to follow the trucks when they bunched up. Find end dumps at the fill beds in air bullshitting. Then call the broker. Hated that "Sh.t". Adios.
Believe me it pisses me off too
Nose to butt and Pull over and wait Bs they play. If they can’t see the others tail lights there los. There only Steering wheel attendants. Not actually truckers
noticed the guys who travel together seem to be stopped the most by DOT. Hilarious watching the guys sit their killing time. Can always tell which company pays by the hour and which one pays by the load.
job
isn't this nasty?
Benny ofAtlanta no??

That cat sounds ignorant in the kw
