Living in in a right handed world, we left handed individuals naturally adapt to deal with it. Resulting in our superiority over the right handers who are completely dumbfounded trying to do anything left handed.

Hi Laura. Left handed people develop both sides of there brain , we have no problem adapting and using both our hands to operate machinery.

When you fly an Airbus aircraft your joystick is on the outside of your seat, so when you are a First Officer flying from the right seat, you use the joystick with your right hand and the left on the throttle. But when you become a Captain and fly from the left seat, your controls are opposite so you adapt.

[@DG-ne8iq]

Hello, we are in a right-handed world, but when I see the English at home and their difficulties to carry out an overtaking on the road by car, with sometimes the needle of a speedometer swivelling in the other direction, well I do not see myself alternating this kind of principle. At a contractor (harvest-contractor) I was driving 2 J-Deere: a 9600 and a CTS, the cutter controls were reversed, while the switches were the same, I sometimes made mistakes that way. The same with 2 lateral bruschcutter scapers, the controls were reversed: it takes at least one day to adapt. The ideal is to work in the logic of the movement push to go faster, pull to slow down - lift to go up, fold to go down. We saw Allis-Chalmer towed combines at the beginning with the cut on the left, only on the tractor the controls were already on the right, so it was not convenient. The corn-pickers arrived in France all with the rows on the right. I drove an old 1920 Citröen B2 car of a friend, the brake pedal on the left, the clutch in the middle, the accelerator on the right, well it doesn't go so well when you have to downshift (no synchro speed), and what can I say about the Ford T, if you pull too hard on the left control: you go backwards!!! Daniel, frenchfarmer.

[@3207ROVER]

Wow! Farming technology has certainly evolved. Next year's John Deer might feature their Remote Control Cab where everything is controlled from your home office via video monitor.

[@stephenorr20]

Hey Laura, yes we left handers (or clooties as we are known in Ireland) just have to adapt. You get used to it fairly quickly.

[@mikeknowles8017]

When my son was at Texas A&M studying Chemistry he took an Ag course as an elective and learned all about the problems soil compaction causes (which he then lectured all of us on). That is why ever since you explained the reduction in soil compaction from using tracks vs. tires I have become very "pro" tracked tractors and trailers. Well done! 😊

That's cool and all. However, you can add the JD operations center app to your phone to share guidance lines to the 8RX. Also, if the combine has JD link you can view the combines location speed fuel and bin grain tank level from your phone.

Great video! I think you and Grant should buy the tractor and grain cart. I didn’t realize that the controls swiveled with the seat.

[@PeeJee0]

One Question from Germany: Why do you drive with nearly max rev ~2200, even when you're unloading the combine or you cruise over the field? Noticed that in other videos too

[@mechadrake]

probably manual does not say anything about optimum revs I guess. At least that what it was on my claas stuff. which is aroud 1500-1600 good for cruising with load and 1850 goood econ for power, but for max power might use more than 2k (working field uphill sometimes in heavy soil). 1850-1900 that is what recomended by a service techs, which we found looked correct for power=economy. Cruising at low revs though causes lots of gear changes and some people here like going for max revs, which I am sure eats more fuel. Also it is very strange that trucks use much lower rpm than my tractor, freaked out the instructor using my ear instead of instruments :D I know low rpm is more efficient.

[@PeeJee0]

@@mechadrake thanks for your reply! That's what i thouht as well. We use 8RX and 8R tractors here as well and we noticed that the fuel efficiency of driving at above 1850rpm is much worse in Costs than a bit less power and slightly more time needed

Hi Laura, I have some questions today. How far is the Williams farm from Carlson Farms? How far is your home from each farm? Was there ever an arrest made for the arson of your neighbors equipment out in the field? I was looking back to see when I started following your channel and saw the arson story. I started watching Laura Farms in June of 2020. I live in a dairy community in western NY. I notice much more about farm operation now. One thing I did know was many dairymen let their chopper corn stand in the field until needed. I think they hope there are no 2 or 3 foot snowfalls.

Regarding left handed: yes. You need both hands to operate, one hand on the wheel and one on the controls. In my opinion (as a lefty) it's no different than "left handed" typing. You use both hands.

In fact I kinda prefer steering with my left hand and I'd think that would be annoying for right handers.
