Hayden on Harvest: Challenges, almost burnt the combine down!
Hey harvest fans! Join Hayden and his crew as they battle Mother Nature during another unpredictable wheat harvest day in West Texas. After days of rain delays, they finally get rolling, but not without some classic harvest drama!
Hayden starts the day moving combines about 40 miles west, hoping to cut some wheat for a local farmer. The moisture levels are tricky – sometimes reading 18-20%, which is too high for harvesting. While waiting for the wheat to dry, Hayden does a fun Q&A with his YouTube followers, sharing insights about their John Deere combines and custom harvesting life.
Just when things start looking good, Murphy’s Law kicks in – both his mom and dad’s combines break down! Hayden jumps between machines, helping fix an idler pulley on his dad’s combine and investigating a fuel leak on his mom’s. Despite the setbacks, they manage to keep one combine running, proving why having three smaller combines is sometimes better than two big ones.
The day ends late, around 11 PM, with Hayden heading back to the camper, contemplating a dinner of cereal or ramen, and looking forward to another day of harvest adventures. Just another day in the life of a custom harvesting crew!
