In depth video on hauling grain to the elevator!! As requested, I've been trying to make my videos longer. What do you think?! We haul all of our Kentucky grain to a local elevator with two 85' R Model Macks and two 41' Wilson hopper bottoms. I do not have a CDL, as it is not required to have one with farm tags within 150 miles of the home farm. What's something you saw in this video that you didn't expect?!

Thank you!
Wake up Jesus, come back to reality.

@@giork2828change your name from giork to DORK. Yeah that suits you better. 🤔
This is almost like a home movie. I grew up and lived in this part of KY. These were the roads I traveled every day. Great memories.
I knew you had what us truckers call a "Nice Load" on by seeing how full your Wilson low side hopper was. Great Job to the "Outlaw Trucker Girl"
Having grown up on a farm, I understood everything that she said- hauling grain, gross and net weight, moisture content and so on. Farm girls are the best !!
Really enjoyed this episode. Brought back memories of growing up on an Iowa farm in the 1980/90s.
Bro i wish i grew up on a farm smh
We started the grain harvest around us this year, everyone watches each other and as soon as someone makes the first move everyone’s rushing to the field to get at it 😂 it was my first year running a self propelled combine but I enjoyed it!
Hahaha that’s awesome!!
Hey Gavin ur gf is a cheater just to let u know cuz is with me
@@user-rw4so7yf5h TROLL!!
Hello sweetie grayce
Hahaha that awesome 🤣❤
Double clutching brings back memories.
11:24
There’s a happy girl!
High gear and haulin!
love to see some farmer, trucking work, awesome content and huge respect.
Way to go Gavin!
Respecting the proper and requested way to double clutch another man’s equipment.
9:30
Why do you double clutch...?
gears aren’t synchronized… so ya gotta clutch it on the way out of the old the gear and then again back into the new gear.
You sync the gears with the throttle..
@@jacklenting9984
It’s an old transmission.
The new ones can be “floated”, or shifted without using the clutch.
The tooth shape on the gears is different from old to new.
The Old gears are sharp edged
The new ones are not
@@Torsee - And in Europe the gears are fully syncronized (for old gearboxes and computer controlled automatic for newer). Fully syncronized is what you'll find in a manual car.
Love the bulldog hood ornament. My dad worked for Mack right out of college.
Грейс как всегда красотка, мечтадля мужчин.
Grayce Farmer always My Favorite...... ❤
good videoI hope your feels dry out fastso you can get your work going and doneyou both have a good day and have a great lunch too
Love that old Mack!
That’s kinda cool how they load your grain straight on to a boat I’m from Saskatchewan are grain goes on a train lol
You look good pulling that trailer.
Y’all make quite the duo👍🏻I’m sure Grayce, that your dad appreciates all the hard work! Y’all take care and keep em comin🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Love the video. Nice to see what happens to the corn after it's harvested. I love watching your videos there so educational. Can't wait for the next one. ❤
Thanks so much
Love the drone footage and the old Mack’s. When you say 4 wheel drive I think you mean articulating Gavin😉
Good thing you can get replacement knees these days.
This machine works very well, thank you
Grace she shifts good and fills out those jeans nice
@ 4:45, in rural areas and farm areas, stops signs are a mere suggestion. ha
I love it when people pump the accelerator on a diesel 🤣
To build air, yh we all do it bro
@@YaboyElls Me too
@@YaboyElls I think he is talking about when she was trying to start it. That's when i saw her pumping it too, doesn't do a thing on a diesel injection pump to aid starting. Seemed like a pretty long crank time to me. Maybe the engine is getting a little tired.
@@KStewart-th4sk Like most farmers she probably dosnt care, and I didn't either, we arnt truckers, we just use trucks , I used to drive a semi across the county on my car licence, ag exemption lol
Yes yes yes😂
Nice to see how its done Properly 😄
Those old Macks are great. We have several of the older U, R, RD, and CH models still in our fleet. We don't use them for our OTR tractors to haul combinations (which we do a lot of), but we DO stretch the chassis on them and mount equipment bodies, where they then go out onto industrial sites and perform work. You could drive one with a Class B. In those applications, they don't guzzle nearly as much fuel as they would over the road, except to the extent that they idle high to power a PTO. We keep them though, because they're ultra reliable, simple, and you can still get most of the parts for them, even at 40 years and older. Hell, we've recently ordered windown felts for a U model, and that's older than the one you're driving here. You can easily order replacement knobs and linkage and all those other obscure items that are typically the first parts to become discontinuted. There's even new/old stock out there. Those trucks rock.
You guys remind me of my wife and I 30 years ago. Together an invincible team. We have been a team for over 44 years. Stay Safe.
Wow, thank you so much!
This was a fun video to watch! The grain falling out of the semi was a cool perspective. Thanks for letting us tagalong!
Great video of hauling to the elevator/grain terminal!!!
Thank you very much!
@@thefarmergrayce you are very welcome!!
You should push the clutch in while cranking the engine. This reduces drag on the starter & batteries. It will also increase the life of the starter. Nice video!
Nice job Gracie! Smart, Capable, Knowledgeable, Great to look at. Guy is in serious need of shave and Haircut!!!! Long hair is long gone.
I like his long hair
Hi Grayce! Your videos are awesome! No better way to make a living than farming.
Glad you like them!
15:44
Love the mighty Mississippi!
ohio
@@rayoho3160
Thanks, I took a guess.
I’m wrong.
Probably the Ohio river
Oh those old trucks attempting to start a farming day, Thanks Farmer Grayce BE SAFE! I LOVE the drone footage...
Thanks 👍
Great video!! Grace " The sun is sunning"😅...Watching both of you shifting gears driving them trucks was awesome. The birds eye view footage was dope.🤙🏾💯
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that old Mack
Great job 👍👌👍
Another great video as always!!! Thanks for giving us a little longer video....28 min ...
Glad you enjoyed it
Love them old R models
Huh. I grew up in Virginia so not a big grain-farming area, and this is really interesting. I liked the little probe that comes down and samples your grain so they can run tests on it while you're weighing. A real combo of old school and modern tech.
Interesting video. Love those old macks. White one seems to be getting tired
.................... greetings from bernard from the strasbourg region............we adore you for the work you do well done!!! 🤗👍👍👍👍
I used to work for a large corporate farm in Eastern Washington. One summer we cut 18 sections of wheat with an average of about 90 bushels per acre.
11:49
Does the little window on the door open.
Spray some WD 40 on the hinges to encourage it to open.
It’s mechanical air conditioning!
Turn it into the wind!
I believe it’s stuck but I’ll try it
@@thefarmergrayce
Spray WD on the little button
Gently work it in and out.
Then when the button is in, twist it clockwise. Just to clear the frame.
Gavin - good call you made on what to have for lunch :)
Anytime I get to see you guys drive those old “puppy dogs” reminds me of my grandfather when he drove them
You look good pulling that trailer
Also, you're not sweating, you're glistening. :) That's what my wife tells me anyway. Cool video.
Howdy Grayce!!! Keep those wheels turnin and gears burnin. Love your content and life. Stay safe always. To you and your family.
Thank you! Will do!
Those Mack's sure sound good.
Not sure why but I love to watch her drive that Mack😂
Very nice system for grain sold.
Well done! Double clutching , drones, and some personality. There is hope for this generation yet. Hopefully you can get a new truck with A/C.
duble cluthing is very funy to watch lol
Happy Birthday friend. May your wishes come true. Greetings from Argentina.
Hey Grayce! Australia here! Checking out a few truckie channels and believe it or not your the only one I've come across that films yourself driving which is really cool. You poor bastards not having aircon trucks! I'm a bus driver myself in Melbourne and have thought about giving truck driving a shot but can't justify the expense of getting the license, etc right now.
I call bs on that, you are here for the same reason i clicked on it, an attractive young lady. There's a few Channels of guys filming themselves driving semis, heavy traffic in big cities, etc. My brother knows a husband/wife trucking team who drive all over North America. Not on YT though.
@@KStewart-th4sk I don’t give a flying fuck what you think mate.
Yeah, sorry Man! Farmer Grayce stole your Mancard in shifting and double clutching!
Just kidding of course. For fun. Great work to both of you! Have fun. Thumbs up everyone! 👍👍👍
I DROVE A MACK TRUCK FOR 10 YRS.....ONLY USE CLUTCH TO MOVE OFF AND STOP ONLY...........FLOAT ALL THE GEARS.......... NEVER CHANGED THE CLUTCH PLATE
Well good for you. You should be so proud.
So did you do like any transmission maintenance at all or just everything but the clutch.
Why are you yelling?
I knew a guy that drove over 3,000,000 miles and double clutched every time. Never put a clutch in or a transmission.
His truck, he can drive it anyway he wants.
DID YOU REALLY?
I remember driving wheat truck equipped with the Armstrong air conditioner too.
Love the old Mack !!!
Y’all are adorable.. love the content. Hope y’all have a great harvest this year
Thanks so much!
Laura Farms and Farmer Grayce look like they could be sisters.
thats what i thought. i was like is this Laura?
I was just going to ask if they were sisters. They sure look alike!
One is in Kentucky and the other Nebraska
Great video guys be safe
Thanks to people as like you that's what feeds the country.
Thanks for your time.
Eres una dama muy bella y muy trabajadora admiro alas dama como tu
Love it! Awesome job Grayce/Gavin!
Really enjoy your videos Grayce! Look forward to checking out you and Gavin's show on Acres TV!
Thank you!!
Lots of wheat coming off here, almost done it looks like. Fields now full of straw bales. I just started oats yesterday setting up the combine. My old grain truck is a 62 Mercury 700. Along with 2 ancient Killbros wagons. Massey pull type combine...poor folks.
Love the old school mack
I love your trucks, especially the sound is unbeatable, and by the way: I'm amazed at how many beautiful girls in the USA work in agriculture! You are the best example Grayce 💯🔥 Best wishes from Germany 🙋🏼♂️
Good job, good luck
No Emmick Farms logo on the white Mack... you'll have to rectify that. Lol. Farmin' in muggy heat, I ain't jealous. I'll stay in KS, we have muggy days too, but nothin' like over there.
Awesome stuff guys . very very cool and very informative. and very cool camera angles shots. you guys get .. big thumbs up 👍😃👍
We always dump rear door 1st, then back up & dump front of trailer last..Keeps weight on drivers in case u have elevator problems & have to move down road to another location
Nice forming ❤❤❤❤
When a old Mack has been sitting for a little while it’s best to hold the throttle to the floor till it starts it makes it easier to start I do it on the old Mack that I drove
Great Video
Yes. Don't wind it over so much in one go. Definitely fuel not getting to the injectors. You may want to get the Injector pump serviced
Drone footage is CLUTCH!!! NICE job!
i am now watching your dirt poor great videos
Yay thank you!!
Some really nice aerial video.
Thank you!
I remember the slips my Dad got back when he went to the elevator:
Gross- weight of everything when loaded
Tare- weight of your truck empty
Net- weight of the grain you were carrying
Like your video and your farm
I dug it.
Miss the days when the truck would be lifted at the front and back door opened.
Friendly scoop shovel to the rescue.
Noise and dust.
Free bottle of pop
10:10 Totally agree. 😊 Impressive view.
I wish i grew up in the country life would be more simple
Thanks for sharing this video with us
Thanks for watching!
Not if someone else has told you thus, but a beautiful hard working woman
wow! you're at least a month ahead of us for harvest up in Canada
For winter wheat harvest?
