300/Mile move in a combine + Hyper Lapse

** Good morning, let the busy part of this trip begin! Ever seen a combine pulling a 50ft header going around the Regina Bypass? Then get escorted by the "Bypass security"?.. 😂 Well we are about too!

Thank you for taking us on your road trips we find them highly enjoyable seeing the views of Canada 🇨🇦 . We are 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧viewers and hubby being a UK arable farmer of just about 100 hectares finds it very interesting seeing your side of farming. You are never boring !

In 1971 I drove a 105 JD from Centerville Md. to LaPlata Md. about 75 miles, but I had to cross the Cheasapeak Bay bridge which is around 5 miles. Max speed 11 mph. Wednesday afternoon in August. Backed up the traffic across Kent Island. Now two bridges, only two lanes then. Then there was a house on a truck sent the other way on the bridge. I rubbed the right tires on the guard rail. Toll 75 cents.

[@tony-the-tigerjohns3294]

Mike you are so right about people being afraid to pass. When I am the 3rd, 4th, 5th car back I am very careful when passing because one of those first few cars that are to scared to pass might get up their courage and pull out just as I am going by them. Just drive people, just drive.

[@blessedandhappy3921]

I like the hyper lapse! To be perfectly honest I can’t watch the road trip videos. The whine of the engine is like a lullaby and puts me to sleep. The hyper lapse however didn’t. It might be a good idea to do this often on the road trip videos. I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I have watched about 50 or 60 videos so far. Thanks, have a blessed day.

It's been interesting anyway. I just drove 7400 miles with my F350 Platinum and Cirrus truck camper from Florida to Washington and I averaged 70 miles per hr. I was going to drive the Alaskan Highway to follow the route that my dad worked on in 1942. He was an engineer on the Highway. When I got to the Border to enter Canada on August 7th they would not let me enter even though I had all the necessary paperwork. Covid is the reason and there still not open until September 21st. The only reason I mentioned this was I'm 70 and Don't think I can endure that long drive again. So you driving a Combine that far is crazy. It definitely is amazing what you do. I'm going to subscribe by the way I hope it helps your channel out

[@thomaswillemsen9913]

Awesome! Our dairy farms are 150 miles apart. Instead of a combine we road our claas choppers down the highway’s. A little more of a busy area than you. And you are exactly right you always get those people who are to afraid to pass, I’ll get over in the side ditch a little kind of trying to signal for them to pass, they still don’t. Then they are so kind when they pass after 10 minutes while I’ve been up in my cab yelling “PASS” like they can hear me, they tell I’m number 1. Gets me every time lol 😂

[@thomaswillemsen9913]

Heck one time we had a mile long line and a police officer flew past and pulled us over. The back up happen in less than 15 min and we were on a curvy road with steep side ditches. We were literally going to pull over where the officer had us pull in. He wasn’t happy

[@ernestrollins383]

Generally I find that people will only pass when it isn’t safe to. With a nice wide road they get scared even with the shoulders, but a curved narrow road they will pass without even slowing. Lol

[@ronkeking97]

We in Norway have the biggest moose. You are right. We call it «Storelgen» which means Big Moose, its located in Stor Elvdal, pretty close to where we live.

[@creativityindy9483]

I read on Internet that Moose Jaw's 'Mac the Moose' was 9.8 meter, then Norway's city of Stor-Elvdal's 'Storelgen' was built to 10.1 meter, then Mac got an extended rack - to 10.3 meter

[@fowletm1992]

Do you have two way radios in the combines In Australia channel 40 is the designated trucker channel so when we move machines we go to 40 and listen for traffic like wide loads approaching Handy to announce your own presence if your going over a bridge or something so trucks are aware we're around and don't get a surprise when they come round a corner We have almost all 2 lane hwys amd even some 1 lane roads

Mike love your videos, just be sure to put on your seatbelts when on the road or transporting with a head on from field to field. I watched a video where a corn head broke of going down the road , the farmer went through the windshield and landed in the road. The wiring was pulled loose that stopped the combine from running him over.

Further info: that farmer freely admits that he hadn't pinned the head and those wires were pinch-cut by the console(or whatever it's proper name is) when it came down after being dislodged and flying up.
