Great reportage again, best australian truckie, thank you.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks heaps Alexander.

[@leroyybrown]

Wow that was a great ride on the harvester

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very good. Thanks

[@stevenjohannesen88]

Most city folk would find the harvesting of crops an interesting Vlog, another great vlog, love the background music and of course the drone shots , ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺

very nice video...❤❤❤

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks heaps

[@the_kelley_gang7783]

Hey mate, that's my father-in-law Jim driving the harvester! He was telling us about you running across the paddock to hitch a ride 😅 Didn't take long to find once he told us you were on KZbin. Great video and nice to see some of his knowledge being shared 👍🏼 Hope you had fun!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

[@manuelstarr3602]

Well mate, I',m a 78 year old EX truckie and try to keep up but in all the years I;ve never been for a ride in a Harvester like that. Thanks mate and thanks to the good lookin; chap driving it. Cheers and have a safe one.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

That was the owner of the farm.

[@deanehill9730]

That was different and lots of fun on the harvester. Like your choice of background music. Thanks for the video.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice. Thanks Dean

[@SteveDunnDMON]

Kept me captivated from start to finish. Interesting to see another industry and hear from the farmer. Great work Johnno! The drone flying through the trees above the river was a bit scary though :D

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@graeme8755]

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.

That harvester footage was great. Thanks You certainly have a knack with that drone. It’s terrific footage Cheers Gerry

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

Johnno that was great. Great drone shot.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks heaps

[@MichaelJAvery]

Hi Johnno, that wheat belt footage was great. I was born in the wheat belt, Bruce Rock in 1959. Now live in Mildura and can’t tell you how much I miss WA. I’m a retired offshore rig tender master, looking for something to do and that harvesting work really sounds like a good thing to do….

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Michael. Yes the farmer was saying that they are always looking for workers during harvest.

[@TheDutchPathFinder1]

omg i love australia....and the music makes it even better. many thanks sir. you made my day.....again.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@damienlamaro5865]

Great video Johnno. Interesting facts and figures on a couple of towns Nd of course the harvesting. Thanks for the mention at the end.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You're welcome. Great to have you along.

[@captainmort]

Great video, Johnno. Especially enjoyed the spin on the harvester. Stay safe out there.👍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

Thanks

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Well thank you very much Michael for your kind donation

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

Very interesting and different. Thank you for the unexpected.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. I'm glad you liked this one.

[@brendaeulenstein4255]

🤣 How did you wrangle the joy ride Johnno.? I did a short stint in an old John Deere header. Didn't go much on it. You're doing a great job there teaching the peeps about our country.😎😍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@MiniLuv-1984]

If you really love something, you never get sick of it. That was great Johnno, never get sick of watch the land go by.

What a space and freedom. How far you can see. And so much peace. The litle towns always look amazing. Intresting that harvest part. Never seen it from the inside.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yeah I thought the harvesting party would be interesting.

[@MarioVanDerMaas]

@@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.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

Hi Johnno, Another cool video mate. The Havester working was interesting. Stay safe mate.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@darrenprior6339]

Always look forward your videos John. This was another great one. "Only going to Adelaide so it's short trip" 2500kms 🤣. In a similar distance in Europe you would have traveled through 850 countries!! Hope your rib is healing ok mate. Cheers.

Interesting interlude in the header. My wife's family are linked into the Sth Australian inventor of the Ridley Stripper.... (not that sort!).

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh very nice. Yes that interview went very well.

[@mmmmdeliciousbacon]

Amazing footage of the harvesting taking place, i learnt so much. How good is the technology these days!

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

I love how your concept of a short trip is Perth to Adelaide 😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@NocashhereRobbo]

Good old drone shots prove there is no curvature. Yet people still believe 😂😂. Great video, mate. Keep the shiny side up 🤙

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks heaps. Yes I hear ya

[@terrenceodgers5866]

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.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You got it

[@NocashhereRobbo]

@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

[@terrenceodgers5866]

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.

[@davetaylor4741]

Lovely footage. And a nice deviation from trucking. Farming is a great way of life. I grew up around dairy. Went to Ag college. And finished up in construction. Worse job. Usually more money. The first combines I went on as a kid in the 60s. The header was so small you could drive it down the street with the header still on. Now look at them.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

[@countrycoopers]

Really enjoyed this video. Great information about the towns. I'm interested in the town populace be it in its hay day to now! Drone footage was great, but the music really made it for me. I went further to search the artists and download some of their other tracks.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@countrycoopers]

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

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Great stuff

[@roberthocking9138]

I love the little history bits you do on those small towns. Geez that header looked like it was nearly in road gear, 😂must have been a lightish crop. Great video

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

[@MrHorsePony]

Thank you John for another top video, I sure would like a trip across the paddock sometime soon. Stay Safe.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You'll have to do it some day.

How many years have you been Driver your Truck.????? I drove for 32 years local of course you looked like you are having fun in between loads.!!!!!!!!!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@jeffbangkok]

1961 I was 6. Dad had a pull type combine that someone had to sit on and put the grain in burlap bags. I could tie the bags and then roll them on a chute that held 3 then you'd trip to pile. Just remembering that when I saw the dust involved.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@jeffbangkok]

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

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh I'd love to see this one.

[@gsd4me00]

David Hunn Well, that certainly was different...and interesting. Going back to what the harvester operator was saying about the difference between backpackers and grey nomads, there would be countless ex truckies and plant operators cruising around the country and mechanical sympathy is just second nature to them.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes he made a lot of sense though

[@jefftheaussie2225]

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

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

👍

[@woohu2u2]

That's a big head on that harvester. 30 feet? I grew up on a rice and wheat ranch in Northern California. In an area called the Sutter Basin. We had John Deere 95's and 105 combines. A 12 foot head was big then.

[@woohu2u2]

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.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I think this was 45 foot

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

[@web7115]

Yet another great. keep them coming. love your work. Where do you get the music? do you have a playlist or a collection that you pull them from?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

I was to go do some harvest work last month here in Qld but I'm here with my old mate and he ask me to stay while it was dry here. Now it's rain and we not feeding cattle. I should go and do a little. Maybe drive a truck.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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.

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

@@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.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Sounds like a good life.

[@shauno1970]

Be good if you can explain the difference between some of the Kenworth trucks like the T909 seems to be the top but others below look similar besides the cab over trucks. Is just the wheel base or pulling power. As some have the same x15 Cummins as well. Cheers

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

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

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.
