You guys make a Great Couple 💑 Working and Having Fun!!👍👊

Love "The row oh shame" joke :) Thank you for helping us get a look into the agricultural machinery and all the work that has to be done at a big farm.

Wow, what a Doll, so full of energy! A thankless profession that should never be overlooked. Never complain about a farmer with your mouth full! Good Day Everyone!

So awesome to see the youth of America carrying on the farming tradition ..... The small farms here in Western Pa & NE Ohio have all but disappeared..... Was a great way of life for 37 years .... Still feel like being in a cornfield this time of year 👍😎

You are quite the multitasker, you’re never bye yourself when we are all watching and enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work and stay healthy!👍😊😷

Your tube is the most informative package I’ve encountered you have great presence and articulation and your approach and enthusiasm is contagious great work 🧡

So refreshing to see a new very smart generation of peeps taking an interest in farming!

I'm very proud of both you and Grant, as young folks you are showing great decisions and life effective paths. I can only imagine the utter happiness your parents feel have raised you two. There will be bad days ahead it happens, but you'll manage I have no doubt.

If nothing else, these videos restore my hope in our youth. Have fun, love life, work hard and thanks so much for the videos.

I’m from a different country (UK) and spent my life in a different game (construction) but we were told never to encroach within 6 metres (20 foot) horizontally of power cables, particularly with metal equipment like ladders, scaffold’s, cranes, telescopic booms etc etc. It’s surprising how far those power lines can arc.

Laura, it was not your fault that the PTO shaft broke. The break does not appear to be a brittle fracture that could be caused by overloading such as say putting too much crop in the header. Instead, it appears to be a fatigue failure that propagated over a long period of time from an initial small area of defect or damage on the shaft. It was going to fail one day and today happened to be the day. If you look at the circular cross section of the broken shaft at 7:49, the area between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock is darker indicating that section failed a season ago or perhaps earlier. The origin of the failure appears to be at the root of a spline at 1 o'clock caused by a tiny bit of damage or manufacturing defect in the past. A more recent propagation of failure can be seen in the lighter coloured area above a line from 9 o'clock to 4 o'clock. The area below 9 o'clock to 4 o'clock is where, with now too little good metal remaining to take the load, the shaft finally and instaneously brittle fractured. As a mechanical engineer, I have been looking at these kind of failures for many years. Difficult to predict and prevent and a bummer when they happen. Oops I see several other engineering types have joined the party with a similar diagnosis!

You really do not need any Make-up at all as your so beautiful your eyes are hypnotic and smile lights up the pictures God Bless You Girl!

I hated school so didn't go to college because I always knew that I wanted to farm and everything I need to learn I could learn from Dad

Always wondered what it would be like inside a combine. Right about this time I was driving up through Kansas I-70 into Nebraska I-80 with a Yellowstone destination. Drove past a huge combine sales business and stopped to take actual pics. So this is a great video for me! Nice video!

always love when a family works together to prosper, keep working hard and making your family proud

Been binge watching your video's after finding them by accident. Love the video's , you do a great job. Very unusual for young people to work like you do. Dad must be proud, keep up the great work and be careful.

Wow, thanks for sharing the cool footage. Our Chefs love all you farmers. You have a great smile and amazing eyes.

You want to be excited Laura Farms🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for feeding us......take care out there

Wish more ladies were like this.

God bless all you farmers for your hard work.

Wow! New at this (running the combine) and multitasking like a pro! Awesome video. Congratulations on harvesting your own field. Pure happiness 🥰

Laura touching up her make up while driving the combine is a whole mood!

From what I understand, you are very good Laura at driving a combine harvester! Compliments! You know how to drive the Case IH perfectly!

The most gorgeous farmer I've ever seen..

Welder/fitter, specializing in Ueavy Equipment Repair and Fabrication here, i can say with certainty that Operator error was not the cause. You were just in the seat at time of failure. Take it in stride, you are doing great. Cheers.

I have to say you are the classic farmers daughter. Please keep your positive attitude and beautiful outlook on life. You are a beautiful young woman and soul! Keep up the great work!

Sure was nice if Grant to share!! Really good to see young people enjoying themselves.

My gosh you should make a farm calendar

That dark area in the sheared surface of the PTO shaft means there was a pre-existing stress corrosion crack in the shaft. It's been ready to fail for a while. P.S. - Laura you can tell Dad that your on-line Engineering Team has totally exonerated you in the failure of the PTO shaft!

whoever does your editing is top notch

Thank you farmers you keep the world fed.. ONLY in america

It's interesting, the kind of diverse people one finds relatable these days, through KZfaq.

Great video Laura good luck combining your corn 🌽

You go girl. My dad taught me on gleaned combines. In the 70,s.

This is the kind of channel you tell your friends about.

The shaft break was a bummer, and while your field looks super clean, it looked like you had the head up high enough to pass over any loose rock laying about. A rock in the gathering chains can wake you up real quick. Those long fields can hypnotize you back and forth all day long. Watching that corn coming straight to you in the cab. After a couple of 14 hour days seeing that all day, when you finally hit the bed at night it can be a disappointment to wake up in the morning realizing you dreamed all night about that corn still coming at you. lol

It doesn't look like it you broke the combine. Looks to me like it was just metal fatigue. You look good driving the combine. It's only right that you get to do that on your own field!

dang who knew a farmer could be adorable, cute, fearless and competent

Seeing the harvesting process in a first person point of view is actually pretty impressive

Nice video! Sorry that you had so many issues with equipment breakage. Most people don't realize the huge beating that most farm equipment takes on a daily basis (and farmers too). But, you will always be our favorite farmer ma'am! Give Grant an extra hug just for being such a great guy!

Not your fault Miss Laura. It looked like a stress crack that was going to break anyway......Loved the video.

Laura, you should have the shaft on the opposite side checked out too when replacing this one. If made in the same factory/process and run the same number of hours then the other side could have fatigue cracks in the shaft/splines -- a careful check of the surface may avoid being down a second day. ... Break probably happened in the heat treat run out area as the steel grain structure changes there plus stress-risers from sharp splines or a snap ring/bearing groove... At least from what I can see by stopping the video. Get a magnifying glass or zoom in on high resolution still pictures of the broken shaft ends so you can look at the break closer, a bit more homework for the college student ;) -- intro to Material Science and Mechanical Engineering right there in that broken part.

That's pretty cool I love that I have been looking up to buy my own one day

Dad promoted you. Well, how nice.

I am not sure how this got recommended to me but I subscribed.

Best young people of the USA !

One of the advantages of this new farm equipment is that all the power assist stuff allows young women to drive it and run the farms. You make us dad's and grandpas proud.

Happy harvest season

How many woman can jump in and drive a combine/tractors with so much confidence? I would say very, very few. So talented. Your father must be so proud of ☺ if you ever come to Ireland I'll show you how we farm here haha

You are amazing, your dad is lucky to have you.

Love that farmers still have necker knobs on their steering wheels..... and farmer helping farmer... I would love to see both of you hop on a 1950 tractor that pulled a harvester head off to the side and you sat out in the sun on a steel seat... it would be a good experience.

@larafarms that handle thing is called a hydro stat

Laura very impressive! Too bad the PTO broke! Good to have a boy friend with a combine!

World's beautiful Farmer

that shaft broke like a cucumber , how unfortunate thing to happen but then again , that's life Laura !!! You got yourself some cool friend helping ya end the harvest !!! Awesome

Luv your videos, you are going places! I grew up in the horticulture aspect of life and am now a Millwright in the Lumber sector. Please keep up the good work, you're a winner. :)

Seems like yesterday watched your first video and look at you now!!

There really is something satisfying watching the corn being sucked in the combine or overall just being harvested.

Dang what a bummer easy fix but pricy hope ya get back out to your field. I like how you went to see grant harvesting and what in a JD you 2 are fun to watch always having a good time but working

It feels great !

Brilliant video thank you from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Que linda você menina. Sou do Brazil e tô te vendo aqui .. Profissional tá de parabéns ..

Laura, keep up the good work. Best wishes from Romania, Europe.

For fire safety you guys should look into a magnetic back up camra you stick the camera where fire is common and the screen in cab so you can keep a eye on what's going on and if it happens you will catch it and put it out fast enough and save the combine .. It for extra safty

yay I hope you had a great time

This is an awesome video thank you Laura.

I love being a farmer. You make me miss my boys farming with me.

At 7:53 you can see at about 1 O'clock on the shaft the rust coloration in the break. That tells me the shaft was already cracked and has been for a while...at least long enough for rust to form in the crack.

I like the way you can explain what everything is and what it does. I'm a country girl gone city "not by choice". But I never used farm equipment. By the way, you have an awesome dad.

Laura, any metal under tension or heavy stress will break, we named it maintenance. Dad does an awesome job of it, some will get past him and fail, it's wear and tear.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. From Washington Court House, Ohio

Un saluto dall' Italia brava brava continua così sei grande 🇮🇹

WHAT could contribute to shaft failure is engaging the machine at maximum engine rpm. Have the engine at a low idle and engage machine and corn head or grain header, then increase the engine rpm. The shock of engagement is breaking shafts

It’s great to see good looking girls working on the farms

Definitely can relate to trying to live a double life. Going to college and trying to be involved as much as possible on the farm isn't an easy task. Keep doing you!

Good luck combining your corn crop Grant 🌽

I'm follow you from Romania (Europa) I like you 🇷🇴😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

That time lapse with you ultitasking was cool.

You call it the “row of shame” and one farmer called it the “bonus row”. If I was harvesting, I’d go with “bonus row” lol

Your job is great...☺️ You look pretty...🏅I wish you good luck.

Love you laura !!!

I’ve fallen in love 😍. Subscribed and will be watching your video’s. Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪😊🤙🏼

Your amazing that was so cool

Keep up the great work!

The shaft is broken, get well soon. 🇹🇷🖐️👍

Cool video I would love to do that once. Breaking down not your fault things happen.

Mascara... no problem... i wont poke my eye!! Badass girl!!! Looking Fabulous!!

i've wrote a lot of comments like this, but i just can't stop saying that it is typical to have stuff broken when you most need it...

Me and my family farm in the Sutton area and we’ve been pushing 277-300 bushels an acre

That shaft was made from cheap Chinese metal. From the looks of the break, improper heat treated. The splines twisted before they broke lose but the center portion break/snapped clean.

je ne comprends rien quand vous parlez mais vous êtes agréable à regarder

In the Netherlands criminals hang pieces of steel, nails and bolts in the corn fields when the farmers don't allow them to use their land and barns to grow marihana. The damage to their combines is enormous.

7:48 If you look at the top right (from 1pm to 3pm if the PTO shaft were a clock face) there is a dark spot that looks like its been cracked for awhile. 7:54 matched dark spot.

At least you got a good lesson on metal fatigue failure mechanics!

loving the dolled up farming

U can run bout 100 ft when combine says full in corn. Bout 300ft in beans! The new s series with folding grain tank won't allow corn to spill on cab. It goes on each side of cab! Haha! Pheasant food!

The Row Of Shame. Haven't laughed harder in weeks.. Subscribed.

Even I fly a passenger airplane, but I still jealous you to drive a combine... It looks amazing.

OH! Just a reminder. I had my hair cut today by a woman who used to be an emergency room nurse and due to the course of conversation with another customer in the next chair a conversation evolved that got the ex-nurse talking about some fairly common injuries she saw and one of them were workers who came in with mangled ring fingers because they wore their wedding ring while on the job. You have a nice engagement ring and beautiful hands, please keep your hands as they are by remove your ring while you're working. PLEASE!
