Combines Need TLC Too - Montana Wheat Harvest

Combines Need TLC Too - Montana Wheat Harvest
In today’s video, we officially finish our winter wheat harvest! You’ll get to see us move fields as we help our neighbor finish up his harvest as well. By the end of the day, I run out of oil and realize I don’t have any on hand! It’s a great reminder of just how important it is to give our combines some extra TLC to keep them running smoothly throughout the season. Stay tuned for all the action and lessons learned on the farm today!
I hope you enjoyed this weeks video!

My Story:
Hello, I’m Kate Stephens, a 20-year-old 4th generation farmer from Montana. My family's roots in farming run deep, stretching back to 1912 when my great-grandfather emigrated from Denmark and began cultivating the land we still work today. Farming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started learning the ropes at just two years old and now operate one of our combines during harvest. I believe in the importance of understanding where our food comes from, and I hope to share that knowledge in a fun and engaging way through my KZbin videos and products. Kate’s Ag is more than just a brand-it's an extension of our farm, a celebration of the grains we've been growing to feed families for over a century. I hope you find as much joy in my products as I do because they carry the legacy of our land and the hard work of generations.

Daily start up of equipment for the day... The first thing is check all fluid levels... Combine engines do chew up oil as they work harder and steady RPMs. Mostly.. so yeah if low add when ever its hits the low marker bring to the top, which is the running level needed. do not be surprised if it consumes oil faster than normal. Change oil every recommend XXX number of hours of operations and every fall when storage for winter. Oil not changed after working for the fall harvest is very acidic and will cause damage over winter. Take care KATE.

Was in Montana 2 weeks ago I always stop at Wheat Montana bakery in Three forks for pastries. Great Vid Kate

[@KatesAg]

We love Wheat Montana! Thank you!!

[@edwardantrobusjr2253]

After finding the oil level so low, it would be a good idea to start checking it much more often. Also, inspect the engine for oil leaks.

[@mayforddavis9291]

Always good to see another video by the beautiful Kate. God Bless.

[@theirishman8356]

Thnx for the new video. I always enjoy watching them. ☘️🇺🇸

[@genechronister7085]

Another awesome vid! Last load,last field,last bale!! The best feeling! Keep the deere's running!

[@DavidBurger]

Go Kate!

[@KatesAg]

Thank you!!!

[@aaronmescal7923]

Lucky you caught the low oil in time. Running dry damages the engine and can seize it. 🚜👍🏼🙂

[@GaryHutch-ko2dg]

Good to see ya again Kate hope everything is okay. Thanks for the smiles

[@mark12661]

Another wonderful video Kate. God Bless your family and you 🙏❤️🙂

[@callmewheels4806]

Wearing a white Kates Ag shirt right now! What a coincidence!!

[@David-j5w9e]

Nothing like ✔️. Ing the oil Kate 😂🤣👍🇺🇸

[@GordonKnight-x3m]

thanks kate, check your oil with the dipstick every day before you start. keep the big sky shots coming.

[@Martin_Priesthood]

Take care of your combine and it will take care of you. .💪. Great video. . 👏🇺🇸

[@tomn7087]

Kate always enjoy your videos great narratives - No oil! Your dad is a calm man. Someone would catch a verbal thrashing with all kinds of "work-n-words" for that on our crew.

[@kurtcraig3421]

i had to laugh at the end there. kate was asking her dad all the right questions just at the wrong time tho.

[@mmm365]

She can be very irritating.

[@Daviddavis-xh8im]

Always a enormous treat to see and hear you Kate, you're my favorite person ever. Did you ever show Grandpa that challege coin of his ship? I was just curious what he thought is all. Trevor is really cool, fits right in with you all. Another great video, thank you and God Bless.

[@Steelhead23]

Yaaaay!!! Another amazing video from the beautiful Kate!!

[@Ozzmosis_Inc]

Your dad wasn't feeling all those questions at the very end LOL...Great vid, never imagined they took that much oil.

[@mmm365]

She does not understand that she can be so irritating with all the questions. She better just be quiet.

[@Ozzmosis_Inc]

@@mmm365 naw, she's great. It was funny.

[@dsflyerds]

@@mmm365 That's how you learn, it's better to ask questions and get answers than to have no knowledge becasue you can't ask questions.

[@runner4life1984]

Kate, your Dad reminds me so much of the late Rich Farnsworth whom played Matthew Cuthbert in 1st Anne of Green Gables movie. FYI!

[@flemmingnielsen3434]

Thanks for a wonderful video

[@Scubasteve22]

IF your gunna be a combine driver, the minimum you should do before you start it in the mornings, is check the oil....Tighten up a little Kate..lol P. S. nice shirt...

[@bill45colt]

thanks a bunch,,,,i like learning from a beautiful teacher!! Lotsa great views and plenty of new information that ive been wondering about,,,,be safe,,,,bill in alabama

[@deniscatherine8446]

Félicitations Kate 🙋‍♂️...bonjour de la France 🇨🇵 🙋‍♂️

[@VIKING33NY]

Kate, you ask your Dad some great questions, cuz we don't know either!!

[@mmm365]

He is irritated by all her questions, you can see... I would be too.

[@jamesjolly7406]

👌Excellent👌 video

[@josephkorczak-lo9tt]

good see you enjoy your videos

[@marcometselaar2291]

Great video Kate! Great to watch the Kate's AG flag again!

[@johnmedici6655]

Another great video Kate! I'm really loving on how many good content videos your putting out!

[@manuelk4511]

Thank you for the interesting video 👍 Kate❤️🌾

[@Mot52823]

Always fun

[@simonlichcaterpillarpower]

Good Morning Kate, nice video!!!!!😉👌👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

[@turklayher4794]

And you should be checking your oil every day before you start Kate. You need to become an operator not just a driver!!!

[@oldfarmer3001]

Hopefully her oil is ok 😂😂😂😂

[@arzamumma1202]

Hi Kate............Greetings from Illinois

[@g-dawg79]

Hey Kate- you might have done a vid on this already, but would love to hear from your Dad why you swath vs straight combining?

[@renatkarimov934]

Hey miss Kate's 🥰

[@HomeIsBehindTravel933]

Kate's já passou da hora de trocar essas máquinas velhas. A nova tecnologia não fica dando tanto problemas assim.🤭

[@jamesjolly7406]

Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

[@hillslide]

Heading into montana tomorrow bringing in some animal feed to a hutterite community

[@glennaavang3326]

Kate. Check out the Robert Frost poem "Mending Wall" for good fences make good neighbors. He wrote it in 1914 so the meaning is somewhat time sensitive.

[@ireneuszira6002]

Kate's Ag the combine harvester ate the oil and you added it, and to replace it you would have to drain the oil to replace it :) good work

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Hello Kate from Sydney Australia. So was the combines low oil level; A. Burning it in engine combustion B. Oil leakage C. Low from last oil change Stay cool John Boy🌏🇦🇺

[@billyshumate853]

He who runs without oil will throw the first rod 😮😮 Then it's new engine time

[@sidneimartinsneves2027]

Bom trabalho, boa colheita

[@scottgrote4405]

That was lucky. That might show a few problems later such as elevated oil consumption and possibly shortened turbo life. I check all the fluids in my combine every day before I start.

[@BillStecik]

lol I thought there would be rocks in yours Kate

[@brianhubbard1621]

Fun video Kate thanks!!!

[@slappypappy6466]

🇺🇸HI KATE!🙋 GREAT VIDEO! IT IS SO COOL TO SEE HOW EVERYONE HELPS EACH OTHER WITH THE HARVEST. IT'S GOOD THAT YOU CAUGHT THE OIL BEING LOW, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE. OK,,,,,,BYE!👋🇺🇸

[@udelwudel]

The not locked stairs are fun until you're in a hurry and don't think about it xD

[@udelwudel]

And thanks for your video

[@flybywire5866]

The last time I saw a video about a combine with a lack of oil was on the YT channel Laura Farms. Her neighbor's combine was very low on oil, but there was no warning, or not acknowledged. A gearbox or hydraulic motor, I don't know, became very hot. It sits directly below the plastic fuel tank. The whole combine burned down, total loss.

[@ismaelbravo8879]

Dios te bendiga ❤️ 🙏

[@seanoliver7085]

I see you have a new apple watch, ❤

[@jamesjolly7406]

As always.

[@Jo71603]

Do you have soybeans to harvest? You might want to check the oil every morning before you start the engine for the first time.

[@dennislamers986]

I always said cemeteries make the best neighbors. Yeah running any motor without oil with shut them down quick.

[@stevenwarner7348]

I can't not not comment. Sorry. So Kate. A couple of things. The most important. You need to get your Dad a sweatshirt with your logo. This is a priority. Dark color white lettering. There are places around here that do shirts and things (also You Tube swag.). Soccer teams, Kids sports, etc. Get a half dozen extra large for your Dad and one for Trevor too. It's marketing Kate. And then, Respect for your Dad. No questions Kate. When your Dad is working on the rig (like changing the oil) don't bug him with questions. Your job would be to follow directions. And then finally. What is it with you and Trevor??? Hmmm? Seems like a nice guy. Get him in the loop. What's he doing in the back of the truck for the road trip? Ok ~ That's it. 😜. New Hampshire.

[@Torsee]

“Interrupting Kate’s Ag” 😂 2:22

[@ประเสริฐสร้อยสนธิ์-ป1ฐ]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@sitandfish]

That's quite an ordeal to check the oil on that combine. Guess that's why it got overlooked?

[@mmm365]

Being more busy with social media than the real job.......

[@robertaus8420]

It’s a worry you need to be putting that much oil in between oil changes. Jds like oil but normally a couple of litres over 200 hours. Best of luck with it Kate I hope it doesn’t give you grief.

[@Baron3D]

Thanks for sharing. There must be an oil leak. Did you check underneath the combine?

[@harlanforman1866]

You can run out of gas but not oil.

[@Daviddavis-xh8im]

You run out of diesel and that can cause a lot of down time but usually no damage. Its not the same as running out of gas. Running out of oil never ends good.

[@flyergowest]

👍

[@coffissa]

❤

[@CowboyLeo1900]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Shame on someone! That oil should be checked first thing every morning b4 you start the engine. Not sure how many hours since it was checked, but that's a lot of oil even for a full oil change interval. I would check the inner air filter to make sure it is clean. Probably replace it. If that thing is plugged the turbo will suck oil out of the engine. I'd check the turbo right away too. Then keep a close eye on that oil. A replacement engine for that combine will run your dad around $47,000.

[@ReflectionswithRoger-w5o]

Wow

[@farminaus9617]

Gday Kate, why do you window your wheat? Does it shake out ?we don’t really do it in Australia, we do mostly barley, canola and some legumes it seems ❤️

[@trainbuff1090]

Something about some saw fly in Montana that eats the stem and the head drops .... they did straight cutting a year or two back in one of the vids and the flies got most of it.

[@SWBoeing]

that is not good Kate if the oil is not on the stick that is good that your combine is warning you about low oil warnings that keeps you form blowing up your engine. there is a saying oil is cheep and engines are Expensive to replace juts like in your car you check your oil.

[@joelrossi784]

🖖

[@roycepruett5862]

Enjoy all your videos BUT, I miss your flying with you dad videos...

[@exploidur]

Note to self: When on a Combine- check oil, first thing in the morning.

[@CallardAndBowser]

So are you guys going steady? Or are you engaged?

[@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550]

He seems pretty nervous around you!!

[@rodneybalog4605]

Good your keeping it local not China! Or other.way to go Kate enough of these other country's taking everything most people no what I mean ❤

[@williamhawks2372]

Hi my friend how are you doing? Hope everything is good with you. Yes, you should check your oil every day. Specially, somebody could come over nighttime do something to it. Specially, your bolts nut on your wheel 🛞 make sure the tight I don’t want you getting in trouble like I did the fall off my wheel 🛞 because I like you cause you’re a good person and very cool friend. Stay safe. Stay warm at night. Don’t get in trouble. I said equipment is meant to be broken when you’re driving it working it OK have you driven A automatic dump trucks yet? See you later, my friend. I miss you.

[@y2000air]

What happened to school?

[@jetsom1000]

what was for lunch....?

[@ericjackson9047]

Ohhh, Kate, you have to check your oil level every day before you start operations. The small time investement in that will save you a lot in lost productivity and repair cost coming from a failed engine. Never, ever, ever, let your oil get low, my friend. HHUUUGGGGGGG

[@AiltonJoaquim-n6m]

Kate nao gosto quando vc fica perto desse cara ai viu .

[@mnblkjh6757]

🇺🇸👍🙂

💞💞💞💞💞💞🌷🌷🌷

[@mtho03]

Your dad wasn’t happy at all. He knows how much it could cost him if that engine seizes

[@JackBenedict-n1m]

Wear a vest in next vid pls

[@kevindiment]

Is Trevor your BF, cos he's in most videos with you

[@BigTader]

Not good way to start a video with Trevor 🙃 this guy comes across like a arrogant loser sorry but that's the impression he gave on the first video you showed him. Stay safe.

[@farmershelper6203]

Who's supposed to do the maintenance to the machines. That's depressing they're not doing their job correctly

[@samhopper3474]

I hope with all my heart that you realise that you could have destroyed the engine in that combine. The engine has a dipstick for a reason.

[@Torsee]

Dang, someone forgot to do a pretrip. Always check the fluids in anything that’s being used. Every day. That could have been catastrophic .. Fire, or blown engine. I’m surprised your dad let you record that.. it’s embarrassing . Don’t let it happen again..

[@Northern_Farmer]

Someone has stolen your videos and posted them on Facebook

[@AbdullahAbrar-j3s]

I am Pakistani please job

[@jerryf6983]

Young lady your dad should be ashamed talking while you're trying to make a video:) Who is Trevor? Boyfriend? It is AGAINST the law for people to ride in the back of your truck dad

[@aaronwitner4449]

You mean your boyfriend trevor has been asking about how to run the combines
