Let’s go for a ride in the Petercar

all right folks so in the last video we gave you a little bit of a glimpse of this uh truck here that my brother bought this is a 2016 peterbilt 357. it has a 18 speed ultra shift transmission in it and uh yesterday morning i took this to the field and i did some video of our trip to the field it was more or less its maiden voyage um here hooked to the olik trailer the video starts off in the dark um the first part of the video i i can't even use it it's all in the dark you guys can't see anything i ended up stopping in at the diner uh the rest of the video the sun had started to come up and i actually have some actual natural daylight but i stopped at the diner on my way to the field yesterday morning had breakfast with uh jerry and jim i usually go to the diner on wednesday mornings if i can make it there and then of course on sunday mornings as well so the rest of this video is just going to be kind of a drive along with this truck give you our i'll give you somewhat of our first experience with a um ultra shift truck um we kind of showed you we showed you this truck here in the last video um this truck is real nice uh it has a ultra shift transmission it's more or less an automatic there's it's a standard transmission but it's auto shifted no clutch pedal um what it has is a push button shifter here you got neutral drive reverse and then i'll kind of explain things as we go along and the rest of the video here but this is our first peterbilt truck that we've owned now the the parent company that owns peterbilt pay car oh they make kenworth and uh peterbilt so they're basically uh the same truck it's kind of like comparing a gmc to a a chevy so we'll roll into the rest of the video i'm just waiting for a truck to get here now um we've got just a little bit left here we're getting a little bit of a drizzle and rain shower here and we're waiting for sarge to pull in so we'll uh take you for a little ride here and um we'll catch at the end of the video i need to get this thing tarped like right now that's kind of doing the shifting thing pretty good here as we're descending down this hill i've got my foot off the pedal and it's using the jake break and it's down shifting at the same time rolling right along just shy of 35 miles an hour trailer must be triggering the abs light on the truck back off the pedal jake brake engaged and it downshifted one gear back on the pedal and it's upshifted now we're getting ready to go through 13 curves so so we'll see how that is just up shifted a couple times there so so all right we have a little bit of daylight here now and that's going right up through the gears and 14th gear there it says it right on uh i didn't notice that earlier but it says it right on the uh instrument panel in 15th gear i don't know if it'll switch up to there's 16 there we got a red light up here and we're just kind of letting the truck slow down and it's shifting down right there on the dash i wasn't paying attention to that earlier i don't know what gear it's going to take off and i guess we're going to take off in second shifting nice and smoothly up through the gears so earlier i didn't realize it but um i had the actual abs turned off there's a switch right here that's why the abs light was on and what that would enable you to do is it would allow the uh engine to be able to rev up if you're in you know into an area where you need a little more get up and go you know whether it's slippery or if you're on snow or ice or something like that um some of these vehicle vehicles that have traction control and it goes forward uh you know big trucks like this too once you start spinning the wheels it only allows so many engine rpms and on this it has a switch to turn the abs off if you don't have a switch to turn your abs off or to turn traction control off what you can do is unplug one of your abs wheel sensors and that'll allow you to be able to spin the tires a little faster than the two or three miles an hour that it limits you to so we're almost to the field now we'll pull up alongside the field and we have the combine is loaded and the grain boogie has um a load on it as well then we'll have to combine a couple more bins to uh finish this trailer load out for my brother and then he's gonna take this load in as soon as we get it loaded uh so it aggressively downshifts and i think that might be because of the setting that i have the uh jake break on but that was kind of a nice smooth uh corner right there kind of had a downhill we ascended downhill a little bit made a pretty good sharp turn and then of course we have to ascend back up this little bit of a hill here and uh it's kind of nice allows me to hold the camera and i don't need to uh have to shift with my other hand here so we'll pull up to the field the field's right up here on our right and we'll get the combine and the green buggy offloaded here let's see that we have somewhat of a mud mass here so we've got kind of a nice little spot here to get the trucks and stuff off on and off the road and it allows us to be able to get things loaded up here safely i've got some cars behind me and i need to reposition this a little better so i'm gonna put you guys down all right we're gonna make our way to the combine we gotta waddle through this mud hair it's right around that 32 33 degree temperature the ground is a touch crusty not much though all right we're getting ready to pull up and offload we could put five uh combine dumps on this trailer and we'll put the first one right up front just getting my ipad dialed in here i gotta select the field dude uh so we're just making our first pass here today it looks like we're going to have real good weather we're showing corn yesterday was decent today is wednesday monday we forced the combine we shouldn't have been combining but i did anyways we brought the big compressor over here so that we could blow the screens out every so often and once i would start to lose some corn there's some on the ground right there i would run over to the truck or over to the compressor blow the sieves out and then we'd go back at it again it was raining and then towards the last part of the day it ended up starting to snow a little bit and then we had some snow overnight i came over yesterday morning to blow the combine off and to blow the sieves out you know to blow the whole inside of the combine out completely and i had a little bit of a vibration noise monday night i didn't know exactly what it was i looked all over the combine several times i've got the seat hot wired now so that i can run the combine usually you can just run the separator and then once you get up out of the seat if you have the head on or if you have the unloading auger unloading it shuts down so i had that hot wired so i could get out walk around the combine to see if i could see what the heck was going on and i couldn't find nothing out of the ordinary no bearings were were out of whack or anything like that that i could see so i figured that you know maybe what it is and i've got a row of shame there loft that's because i don't count rows when i split the field um so i blew the combine off completely yesterday and then i dove into it a little deeper and lo and behold i found a bearing god i thought that the vibration could have possibly been coming from the sieves being loaded up with crap and things just out of whack from forcing the combine the day before the combine during wet conditions because you really shouldn't be doing that but i was forcing it anyway so like i was saying i i did find a bearing gone and it it the thing is it wasn't doing the it wasn't making the vibration it wasn't making that noise all the time therefore that led me to believe that it was just something out of whack from the sibs you know everything being loaded up with crap so what i had wrong was the bearing on the top tailings auger which is right under the floor the tailings elevators on the left-hand side of the combine and that uh brings up some dirty corn that was shelled drops it in the top of the rotor or the top of the concave or whatever and then it goes back through the combine well there's a little short auger that runs from about where the step is here down under my feet and it dumps in the center of the combine about right where the steering wheel uh column is so that bearing on this right hand side was gone and we had no other damage there wasn't anything wrong with the auger shaft or anything like that so we ended up having to take the combine home i didn't film anything just because i was just trying to get the combine back together as soon as i could uh sarah went and got the parts that we needed and she was back before ah before i was ready uh to put them in it was just a simple a couple of bearings to replace the hardest part of the job was putting the carriage bolts back in the triangular flange uh we had to put the bolts in with magnets and um it was a little bit of a mongrel so i need both hands obviously to set the row here ah trying to can't trying to shoot video and drive combine so we're just gonna keep at it here uh sarah's here right now she's offloading onto the trailer and then she's gonna come over and get a couple of bins off the combine and we'll send my brother on his way all right we are actually into the following day so it's day number two of using the peterbilt on the ollic trailer and you can just barely see it way down there we're waiting for sarah to get up to us because we're loaded and i figured i would show you the bearing that went on this combine now we've got the tailings elevators on this left hand side that takes stuff off of the screens the stuff that makes it back through the screens in the back of the combine works its way over to the tailings elevator the tailings elevator brings it up this left-hand side here dumps it into a little tiny hopper and then there's the tailings auger that runs it over and it drops it down into well just in behind the ah feeder house chain and then in front of the uh rotor so let me get this uh unloading and we'll show you where that bearing is placed so we got that unloading there and this bearing is up underneath the floor of the combine and it sets in right there now i had a lot of garbage up on top of the feeder house here therefore i could not see that bearing when i would get out and look at things to see uh if we had any issues i kind of thought it was going to be something off of either side of the combine and uh it wouldn't make the it would make the noise when the head was off so i could run this i knew it was nothing right in this general area but the way they have that bearing put on there they have that bearing put on from the inside therefore you have to feed uh the bolts up in from the bottom take this plate out here and you gotta kind of work around that shaft and it was a little bit of a mung girl to get those bolts in there but we managed to get it done uh on this left-hand side there was just enough of a slit in there to swirl that to screw the auger out through the hole i don't know if sarah wants to say hello or not but we started showing corn at four o'clock this morning it's about 10 right now they said we're gonna be getting rained out here but um by 10 and it hasn't started raining yet we've got about 12 acres left here and uh that'll get this farm here done so how you making out you need any coffee you don't need any coffee nice getting up on these early mornings huh just hammer down what do you got left to put on that trailer this one and one more yeah yeah okay you're gonna be able to get that other truck or you gotta move that you're gonna have to move the one that alex bought brought okay well i better get back to the combine all right folks so that is gonna do it for this video oh we're unloaded so take it easy we'll catch you at the next one
