Driving from Perth to Adelaide - Harvesting Barley on a Real Harvester 

Thanks Wayne. Yes I have to get my money worth out of the new drone.

Yeah I thought you guys would like that one.

I need to practice the river run. I didn't think it was good enough.

Steve have a look at 'Tom's Brook Farm'. Tom is located in W.A. massive area. Also 'The Jackson Brothers' in N.S.W.

👍

@@graeme8755 Thanks, will look them up :)

I put all the song names and artist in the description.

@@RoadTrainAdventures thanks 👍👍

Very good

The first thing to do is to be in Australia, if you're not already.

I actually didn't get all the footage I wanted because the farmer was just about to quit for the afternoon so I didn't have time.

Awesome. Thanks heaps Alexander.

Very nice. Thanks Dean

I've been in transport for 30 years but road trains for only 13

Awesome. Thanks again Steven

Awesome. Thanks Brett. I'm trying to find some cool stuff to look at as extra parts of the video.

Oh awesome. I wasn't sure if he would find it but great stuff. Yes it was fun. I just wish we both weren't in such a rush so we could get some better footage but I had to move on.

You're welcome. Great to have you along.

I gotta get the awesome shots for you all. The way I do those shots is to fly really slow and then I speed up the footage.

I have no shame. I just ran up to the header and asked to go inside.

I don't know if there is a share but it should be next to the channel name below

Ha ha. You got it

Very good

Ha ha. If love to try that.

Awesome. I'm glad you liked it.

Ha ha. Yes my ribs are going really well. Thanks for asking.

Yes and no. I always try to add as much awesome content in my videos as possible. Unfortunately there are things I kept getting in trouble for and showing this content was some of it. Now only those people with a very keen interest will see this stuff and won't complain to my boss. Everybody is so worried about being sued for doing something wrong in the workplace. It's also a way of people showing their appreciation in supporting the channel. As you can imagine, a lot goes in to making and editing these videos.

Awesome. Thanks heaps

Very good. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks heaps

It is a short trip as it's only half way across Australia. Normally I go all the way.

Thanks Rachel

Yeah sure. I'll see if I can make a video on that some time

Awesome. Thanks again Brett.

Thanks Tom. Yeah I thought the harvester would be good.

Yes he made a lot of sense though

The big difference with operating machinery like that and trucks is you are dealing with width not length. The front on that header was over 40’ wide and he was going quickly. There is a lot to keep an eye on both in front and in the machine itself. Your head will spin. He was making it look easy just as Johnno does in his truck. Put a green horn on a header and it will cost big bucks in no time if they have no experience and are not very careful. That crop was good going, get into a heavy crop that has gone down in rocky country or has had a flood over it and it is a bit different. Jeff

Thanks heaps

I know hey. I was amazed at how easy it was.

You're right. All of us in transport have the power to stop all this but as a collective, no one does anything.

I'm going Great. Awesome to hear that you're enjoying my video.

No she's I only had limited time to take the footage as he was finishing up.

Thanks Ben. Always a pleasure.

Awesome. I'm glad you liked this one.

No it's one channel but there is an option to JOIN. In this members area I can show all the footage I can't in the public section like the job sites and mine sites. I put out a video everyday, albeit short, it shows what I really get up to each day.

Awesome. Thanks again Dirk

Yeah I thought the harvesting party would be interesting.

@@RoadTrainAdventures Realy. Just great. Just get out of the truck and sayd to the farmer. Tell us abouth it. hahaha. Very good interview. As if you had known each other for years.

I have no shame. I'll ask anybody something for a good story.

@@MarioVanDerMaas. You can do that with country folk, city dwellers are a different story.

For sure

Also meant to mention that I drove trucks for 40 years on the west coast. Started out as an owner/operator and eventually had a small company with 12 tractors and about 30 assorted trailers. We did mostly oil field work and heavy haul.

I think this was 45 foot

That's awesome. It's great to have you along.

Very good. Thanks Andre

Thanks heaps. Yes I hear ya

Get up to 11,000 metres in an aircraft cockpit and take a look around. The Earth is a planet and not a flat plain.

You got it

@terrenceodgers5866 Why don't the instruments of a 'plane' take into account the curving of earth? Why don't railways line dip for the curving, why is all instruments say it's flat when engineers build these? 11,000 metres looking out of a concave screen, it will look curved, yes

I speak from experience - re - cockpit access at 11,000 metres. The curvature is unmistakable out of the flat front windows of Boeing 747. As for rail lines - the horizon is only as far as the height one is elevated at. Even looking out at Echo Point near Katoomba on a clear day, will reflect the Earth's curvature, to those who can be honest with themselves. Are you referring to guidance instruments? All guidance instruments are set to true north and align themselves from that setting so aircraft and shipping will always be guided toward their destination without fail.

Yes he didn't say anything about having trouble getting enough workers.

So it didn't work out how you planned. No good. At least you have options. Sounds like you have a lot of freedom to move around.

@@RoadTrainAdventures it all ok. I'm a old guy now. But still move around and drive and operated tractors. As a pensioner now. I get cash jobs. Which is helpful. And I get to meet new people like you. That the best part.

Sounds like a good life.

Well it was working well on that day.

Doesn't matter wich colour there all expensive nightmares😂

1.2 million dollars for that one

Were you able to find the music? I got them off a music subscription service.

All bar the unknown artist in your list. Some really cool country music which I've not heard before!

Great stuff

Just water

It will be 38 again in Perth this weekend.

Very good. Thanks Raymond

Awesome. Thanks Nathan

Ha ha. Yes. I thought that is what I saw on some paperwork before I got there.

@@RoadTrainAdventures interesting 🤔

The size was actually only 2.7m wide

@@RoadTrainAdventures 👉👍👈

👍

Thanks again Alex

Yeah that's OK I do try to put as much as I can in these videos anyway.

Very good. Thanks Andreas.

Awesome. Thanks Steve. I'd like to start doing some interesting stories that I see along the way.

You'll have to do it some day.

Thanks Dave. I remember on our farm we had a PTO header. We typed it with our Chamberlain. No air conditioning or power steering in those days.

Yeah. That is only half a trip

I used to have 2 spoon fulls of coffee and then sugar but I tried a more healthy lifestyle. I'm not quite there but at least it was a start.

Oh very good. It's great to have you along.

Thanks heaps. The song list is written in the description of this video. I get my music from from Audiio. It's a music subscription service.

Very good. Thanks Mark

Yes the other trailer was left for someone else.

Thanks Neil. Yes the tanks are huge. They hold 2400 litres so I get half way across Australia.

Thanks heaps

Thanks heaps. OK I'll try to do now history lessons. Yes that header was really quick. I was amazed at how good it was.

Yeah I thought that will go down well.

Awesome. Thanks for watching

Yeah I thought you'd like that bit.

Ha ha. That is a short trip. It's only half way across Australia. Just like a day trip.

Awesome. Thanks Allen

Great stuff.

Thanks Shaun

When you get in that dust, it's hard to get it out of your shirt. This modern harvester is amazing.

I have a picture of our 62 GMC farm truck piled high with wheat bags. My dad and brother shirtless on top. @@RoadTrainAdventures

Oh I'd love to see this one.

Thanks Jonathan

Thanks again

Awesome. Thanks Ryan. Ken and I talk every day about how to make our videos better. His videos are so good.
