- 1:02Matt sets out the short harvesting window before forecast weekend rain.
- 6:45Matt explains why the headers run their tyre tread backwards: to help them reverse out.
- 7:33Grain unloads into a chaser bin through an automated auger spout.
- 14:04Matt finds and repairs mouse-chewed wiring on the Bromar bin's auger.
- 15:32An accidental collision has bent the harvester's new auger spout.
- 18:44Brad harvests after dark through heavy dust, relying on GPS guidance.
Four headers are working the flat block, rain is forecast, and mice have found the wiring. The Jackson Brothers' harvest has moved well beyond the preparations we covered last month: now the challenge is getting the crop off while keeping the machinery going.
"Things are Starting to Break! | Harvest 2026 Part 5 | Vlog 537" was the more watched of the week's two uploads, reaching about 28,000 views. Matt coordinates work with neighbours and contractors, unloads grain into a chaser bin and discovers chewed wiring on the Bromar bin's auger. Later, an accidental collision bends the harvester's new auger spout. Naturally, it couldn't have been the old one.
There are smaller pleasures among the repairs: Barney the dachshund inspecting the machinery beside Brad, a lunch run with Dad, and Matt explaining that the headers' tyre tread runs backwards so they can reverse out of trouble. After dark, Brad keeps harvesting through thick dust, grateful for GPS. Viewers pick up on the neighbours helping out, while several send greetings from their own farming regions overseas.
The follow-up, "At Least We Had the Parts! | Harvest 2026 Part 6 | Vlog 538", brings a useful resolution: the wheat is finished as the block dries out, despite another breakdown. It is now the channel's busiest individual video for daily views, with earlier harvest instalments also drawing viewers.
Across the channel, daily viewing is below its usual level, but the subscriber total grew by roughly 1,000 over the week. That makes this a slower viewing spell with a growing audience, and two more chapters of the harvest safely in the catalogue.

Why do The Jackson Brothers run the tyre tread backwards on their headers?
Matt explains that the reversed tread helps the headers back out of difficult ground.
