I am a 32 year truck driver these guys surely have pride in there rides and it’s great to see the pride down on the farm. BTP you have brought it home this time
The orange Peterbilt was a 389 but the truck you rode in back to the farm was a Peterbilt 379 which was manufactured from 1987-2007. The particular model you were in was manufactured between 87 and 00. Most of the 379 models had CAT motors such as 3406B-425hp 3406E-475-550hp C-15-475-550hp they also had Cummins ISX-15-475hp and Cummins N-14-475-525hp. Some other models had Detroit 60 Series 475hp. Great video good to see some big long good Peterbilts
Thank you for the info. I missed that I said 389 instead of 379. I had 389 on my mind because of the orange truck focus. Thank you for sharing the history.
Awesome video, I love Peterbilt's. Peterbilt started in 1939 in Oakland, Ca. They sold their first full size truck in Stockton, California. That's where I'm from. Peterbilt had their 75th Anniversary truck show here in Stockton back in 2014, four days before I started truck school. That was an awesome experience. The CAT tractor company also started here in Stockton, California. Such an awesome connection we have with trucking.
It is mind blowing to understand the synchronization between the combines, grain carts and semi's to keep everything smooth, taking in consideration these fields are big and distances travel keep on changing, still unbelievable that one grain card fill 1,5 semi, I would like to stand next one to understand really the size, super video.
An old retirer farmer here i spent 40 plus years in a peterbuilt. They are the back bone of harvest as if you cant keep it away from combine your dead in the water. Spent great deal of time on combine grain cart and trucks
Just when i thought it couldn't get any better for big tractor power...love me some peterbilt diesel turbo with jake sound...thanks for changing it up and keeping it interesting.
Thank you for help. 100K is near. Maybe in the next few weeks. Zach is on fire. He is doing a good job. His channel is “showing up” every ag channel in North America with its rapid growth right now. BTP is having nice steady growth with 200 new subs each day. I am honored to have had the channel reach so many people watch tractors.
I beg to differ with you on the unloading speed of a belt trailer versus a normal hopper. I can dump a hopper in about one minute or less and I've never seen a belt trailer do that. Nice trucks and enjoy your vids
How do unload a hopper bottom in a minute? I have never watched one unload that fast? I film at a 3 million bushel bin with a double put and it still takes several minutes. I sure would like to see them do it in a minute.
You need a big dump pit and open the end gate entirely. The old elevators used to have a lift that lifted up the front wheels on a single axle truck. You drove the front wheels onto the lift, open the tail gate and they lifted the front of the truck about 8 feet up. The box was empty instantly.
I think the limiting factor here is not unloading as the entire rear gate can lift up and dump it out. The limiting factor is how fast the pit augers can cary the corn away to the dryer or wet bin. The grain cart has a 22 inch auger and moves 700 plus bushels per minute. The grain bin auger is probably 8 inches.
Wonderful , here is a modern operation who takes 'not compacting the soil' seriously : quadra-wheeled tractor, tracked grain cart and having the semis waiting by the side of the field -> Top notch operation, job well done.
Thank you for watching. This farm is all about tracks. This video was filmed over a few years to feature the trucks. The farm is all 9RX tractors on carts in 2018.
379insk I got one of the new trucks with all the emission crap on it. Drove it for maybe 8 months and sold it for an older one. Will never get one again.
Oh, the sweet sound of a big truck engine braking and purring down the road. Great sights and sounds here, BTP. Thank you. (I made sure The Rest of the Story will see it.)
Cool video showing the process of hauling the corn from the field to the farm site storage system. @10:57: It looks like he had a little more than 1000 bushels on that truck, more like 1200.
Two guys that haul for us when our normal trucks get backed up have two pete 379's that are straight piped and sound amazing! One is a CAT C15 and the other a cummins
Some sweet looking large cars! Only allowed 84,000 in Mississippi legally if you have a harvest permit but sometimes you gotta get what you can on! Love shifting those gears pulling a hopper!
Now that was awesome as heck, Turbos spooling, smell of burnt diesel, annoying as hell jake brake, and the trucks look like they just rolled off the assembly line, awesome video as always.
That's one big farm operation you showed there. All of those Petes looked very sharp. Was it just me or did the one you did the ride along with have a "Rubber Duck" hood ornament? The duck looked pretty cool on that black Mack truck in the movie Convoy. Good information as always about the equipment featured in the video. Stay safe.
Big Truck Power! Thank you for filling in a missing link from farm to table. Hope to see more Big Truck Power as well as Big Tractor Power short films.
The truck drivers can help the grain cart drivers and protect their road tractors at the same time if they'll jack knife their trucks to the right just a foot or two right before they stop in the field. The grain cart drivers can then easily line up to the grain trailers with less of a chance damaging expensive stacks or mirrors. Of course the bigger grain carts have a long enough reach with their augers that they don't have to get as close as they have in the past but I've seen both stacks and mirrors mangled. It'd be a shame to mess up those beautiful trucks.
No thanks. Then you have tandems sticking out further then the mirrors. Tandems that are low in the field of vision. Most of the road sides are angled, you would have 30 tons of corn going onto a trailer with tandems pitched as well. Prime candidate for a tip over or busted airbag or spring. If it was a smart idea you would seem them doing it.
I know the owner his farm ain't far from my house. Big farmer here n KY. Hes got alot more tracors nd combines nd truck's nd equipment. Love seen his equipment allways clean
Thank you for watching BTP. 750 acres is nice amount of ground. This is one of the bigger farms I film at. Stay tuned for a feature on a local farm with a 3 million bushel bin system and a fleet of Mack Trucks.
Enjoyed The Ride Along In The Truck Alot BTP. That Is One Heck Of A Nice Farm Set up.. Wish We Had Farms That Size In N.C. Sadly N.C Has To Many Houses And People To Have Farms Over 3k Acres
Enjoyed the transportation of corn video. Like the old style vs the rounded stuff thats popular with fuel efficiency minded owner/operator. 379 & 389 my favorite tractor with or without cabs. Big Cummins 2090 lbs torque. 👍
I am always watching the trucks when I’m filming it just takes time away from filming the machines on the field but I’ll try to get clips whenever I can. This video took about 3 years to film just grabbing clips here and there.
That was an awesome video. The trucks are what people see the most during harvest. so I guess you want to have nice shinny and chrome trucks. How long of a haul did they have?
God n jesus blessing American and dam badass looking peterbilt 389 day cab sweet peterbilt forever trucker never die we just buy another bad ass peterbilt 389
I want to leave a job in the office and move to America. Drive a tractor or combine and live happily for the rest of your life! :D This is just to perfect to me! Big thumbs up!
Is the US the same as in Canada where you can drive a truck after just doing a test in a car as long as you're over a certain like over here (UK) with harvester which you can drive with a car licence as long as you're 21 or do they have separate tests like us which you have to take as well with you having to have a medical I think every year to keep the licence?
Seperate test driving a tractor trailer in the us it's called a cdl(commercial drivers license) and here in canada there's different classes for different sized trucks a full sized tracter trailer like these will require you to get a class 1 license
