My husband's gonna love this one. No one wants to see anyone with trailer problems, but there is a bit of solidarity knowing it happens to other people, too. Rural people are the best at helping.
I have few friends if any that would have come to help me like that and I doubt many of my family would have come to help without it being very uncomfortable so having great neighbors like that is a true blessing
Good rescue....now teach 'em some math - this is a multi-part problem: 2 axles times 3000 lb capacity each (guessing by the hub size), minus the weight of the trailer frame, equals a cargo capacity of about 5000 lbs.......next , 42 bags of concrete at 80 pounds each = about 3300 pounds....I have no idea the exact numbers on the pallets of block or the pallet of OSB, but I'm sure it all adds up to at least 50% more than the payload on that trailer! No wonder the axles broke.....glad no one was hurt!
Thats only if you put the right tire on it , those look like over the counter tires and wheel combo's you get at Walmart for boat trailers in the stereo department for 39.95 .
0:41 Heath says 10-15 thousand pounds of building materials on the trailer. 7200 GVW trailer, ~16' trailer 1600lbs, leaves 5600lbs for cargo. Two to three times overweight. Lesson learned.
The skid of concrete in my opinion was already pushing the limits here, but 3 more skids of cinder blocks and and entire lift of OSB... then some more wood on top. What in the world ?
That is about 13,000 pounds. Simple math. The axle looked rusty and trailer was not in the best shape. Axles looked to be about 4,000lb each and tires are rated to close the same or a little more. Very much so overloaded.
A little more......Heath.......glad to see you were finally wearing a harness working on your roof. Glad to see you didn’t have to learn the hard way that the harness should have been tied off with approved equipment. Not just carried in your hand Hope this rambling hasn’t offended you or your audience. Also hope at least 100,000 readers remember it and think before jumping into a task with danger possible. JoeB
This reminds me of a trailer I saw at least every couple weeks for about a year. Typical angle steel tandem axle 16ft landscape trailer, except the people had extended the standard 12 inch rails up to about 5ft tall and added some heavy wire fence panels to close it in. They then proceeded to fill it to slightly above their cage with split firewood. The last time I saw it, looked pretty much exactly like this trailer, haven't seen it in 3-4 years now.
Alexplayz Playz ..... eigh? looks like 4 pallets of cinder blocks a full unit of OSB and a good sized bundle of dimensional. that would strain my 14k edit...those sacks are heavier than the blocks I thought they were, sounds like loose lug nuts though, and when they broke the shock load sheared the other axle.
yeh it was overloaded,those shitty 205 75R15 tires are rated no more than 3500lbs each ,looks like small dexter 3500 axles for landscape trailer.Just that pallet of concrete alone is over 3000lb with lumber and pallets of cinder block yikes .I would be concerned with that weak looking trailer tongue too
That's one of the very few things I miss about living out in the sticks. You absolutely know you have to pony up for your neighbors and they do the same for you.
this is where I began watching this families videos.. what a journey. stay tuned and play catch up there is a lot of content in the narration and thought behind each and every action.. love the channel love the planning and progress towards the future you're building. one shovel full, one brick, one tree, one board, couple truck's, a couple dog's, one fantastic journey in life...
That was pretty neat - speeding up the video. Very entertaining. You are right about picking your neighbors. I had a physician next to me in CT. My 3 year old daughter fell down the stairs and broke her collar bone. My wife called me (I was about 7 miles away) I turned around, put my flashers on and was home in 8 minutes. The EMT's were two minutes behind me. Off to the hospital we went. They braced her up and sent her home in a lot of pain. Laid her out on the familyroom floor and there comes a knock at the door, my neighbor. He apologized for not being home when he was needed (he was in church). He checked her out; she had the wrong brace which the hospital had cut down because they did not have a smaller one. He called an orthopedist to have her seen at 8am the next morning. A couple of years later we had a REAL thunderstorm. The lightening bolt went through a neighbors chimney and between their twins each of whom had flash burns. There was Dr. Sands coming home from the hospital. He saw me, jumped our of his VW with his black bag and told me to take care of the car which was rolling. And that is the way the neighborhood ran. We all took care of one another.
There are always things like this happening farming and ranching. Glad no one got hurt and everything was transported safely. Good neighbors are a valuable asset. I'm sure they will return the favor when you're in need.
You wouldnt be able to haul that kind of load in canada. they would nail you to a wall , they give $12000 fines here if a trailer like that has so much as a slight braking problem. And every pound over limit is charged.
Just because you can keep stacking...doesn't mean you should. Good learning video for all those watching. Look at the weight limits on trailers before you over load. Thanks for posting and being a good sport of sharing your lesson learned the hard way.
Good work you guys! I really hope yall grow fast on RUclips so that it can give you the income you need to finish your home and make more videos. I really enjoy watching your family and this journey that yall are on.
More. ....maybe 2 or 3 were members of your family. But just maybe they saw Heath’s video and didn’t try to haul that big load. That is the good that came out off this video. Experience is the worst, most expensive , most heartbreaking, most costly learning you can have. Learn from others and your minor mistakes. Thanks for the video Heath.
Been there, had that happen to me in a little town in Louisana going to the deer camp. But I did not have building material on my trailer. What I have was a John Deere 2150, with frontend loader, bush hog, box bald and rake. Was nowhere near any neighbor or civilization. But you will be surprised at who will stop and help out. Thank the lord for good people.
Sad so many miss, or worse, deliberately ignore the point of this video. It wasn't about a mistake made by the person who loaded and/or owned the trailer. It was about helping a friend in need. For all the name calling sarcastic critics, let him who has NEVER made a mistake, cast the first stone. FWIW, I'm thankful that I have neighbors who have lent a hand in times of need.
I've always been prideful of all one person can do alone. However , there are times that that third , and fourth hand makes a big difference . Appreciate, both, the effort of others helping, and the effort extended to others. Alone at the mountain top is a lonely place.
Love the horn :o) Up home (Adirondack Mts) if something like that would have happened back when I was a kid (50-70 yrs ago) the locals would have banded together to get that load delivered and laughed about it later. Now? Sadly, the community spirit has died :o( Now you'd be lucky if anyone would answer their door for you to call for help.
We all have under estimated our trailers at one time or another! I snapped an axle hauling firewood on a dirt road! Put too many round bales on trailers and burned my bearings before! No one else has been in a hurry and overloaded things? It's okay though if you have friends who likewise do the same things you do!!!
LOL... Looks a little overloaded to me... at least +9600 lbs in blocks OSB +3500 lbs +3840 lbs sack concrete then all that wood on top what +2000 lbs total 18,940 on 7,000 lb axles... Yes it way over loaded... Then add the pallet weight then whats in the trailer boxes and the weight of that trailer... It more that 2+ times what that thing will hall... It a Miracle they didn't kill someone...
Speaking of being able to call somebody. I used to have a friend like that. One of those people you tell them grab two shovels, and they asked whose truck yours or mine...
Was laughing so hard I almost peed. That horn was fantastic. Never expected that. Those steers knew they better get out of your way fast. LOL. You being a righteous person, ALWAYS helps everyone in need. Believe me, its been noted in the book of life the good deed you did that day. G-D Bless.
Oh boy was making sure you did not hit purity fence !!! LOL :) By the looks of that axle. He might have gotten off the road a bit or bottomed out the axle. Looks sheared off flush.
The horn was one of your best investments ! Coming from an old gal that’s been and done it! And am now looking for more well drilling gear again. We NEVER learn!😂😂😂
Thats what good friends are for. Lesson there is don't overload your trailer AND always check your trailer bearings.. How far was that from the properties?
JUAN: “Who told you I had a car? JOAN: “The men in the village.” JUAN: “They told you I had a car? They are such comedians. They meant my little mule, Pepe.”
Oh it’s overloaded, it’s got like two 3500 pound pound axles... two pallets of block away route 5500 pounds plus they’ve got a pallet of concrete mix bags, a total of four pallets of blockA partial unit of lumber, this would be a challenge for two 7000 pound axles
Wow.. Definitely a two tripper.. BTW those rims with the triangle holes are crap they have failed on are trailers several times.. Check for stress cracks if you have those..
" we do stupid alike " ... I think that's the honest way of saying " We have the same sense of adventure " :-) " Owning" and "Having" is usually the same sort of thing . But in a case like this ... you could be super rich and Own just about anything you want ... You can only Have a good friend/ neighbor , and "Having" a good friend/neighbor is quite often worth more than anything you can " Own " In this video , I would say that Terrel is wealthy in the " Have " dept Maybe not so much in the " How to load a trailer " dept , but certainly in the " Good friend/neighbor dept
I bet the 4 pallets of cinder blocks would be overloading that 10,000 pound trailer (8,000 load max). I figure almost 16,000 not counting the dimentional lumber. Looks like 3,500 pound axles anyway.
We all live and (hopefully) learn, y'all. No need for rudeness. Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes they're willing to show us to save us some grief. Thank you, Red Poppy Ranch, for sharing the mistakes as well as the successes on your journey.
I called every lumber yard around me to prove my point. They all said they will travel about 60 miles for $ 60 . Few said $100 for 60 miles. Few said free for big order
At 4:59 Probably not that much weight. Probably not that much weight? WTH? Yeah, it was. It broke axles and springs ! Might want to check the data plate on your trailer next time.
Very fortunate that you broke down on a very nice wide spot on the road. At a neighbors front door. I am so glad that you have great friends and family that know how to drop and roll - when needed! :) It would be nice if you had forks for your bucket!
It's great how neighbor's come together to help each other.
It is always good when neighbors can help each other out. Community really. I think that is missing today largely.
My husband's gonna love this one. No one wants to see anyone with trailer problems, but there is a bit of solidarity knowing it happens to other people, too. Rural people are the best at helping.
I have few friends if any that would have come to help me like that and I doubt many of my family would have come to help without it being very uncomfortable so having great neighbors like that is a true blessing
Yes good neighbors are essential to long term sanity
Very true, good neighbors are a blessing.

HOLY SHIT THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH FOR THAT TRAILER! NO WONDER IT SNAPPED! You're a good neighbor for bailing em out of that jam sir.

Way over loaded trailer ,just glad they did not hurt or kill some from that trailer break down .Glad it all worked out.
BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE COUNTRY ya'll now live in.....
Looks like y'all made a new friend, the man who's front driveway Terrel broke down in..
Hopefully that was a lesson learned about overloading trailers?! WOW!
BarnGeek it wasnt overloaded
Alexplayz Playz ..... eigh? looks like 4 pallets of cinder blocks a full unit of OSB and a good sized bundle of dimensional. that would strain my 14k
edit...those sacks are heavier than the blocks I thought they were, sounds like loose lug nuts though, and when they broke the shock load sheared the other axle.
yeh it was overloaded,those shitty 205 75R15 tires are rated no more than 3500lbs each ,looks like small dexter 3500 axles for landscape trailer.Just that pallet of concrete alone is over 3000lb with lumber and pallets of cinder block yikes .I would be concerned with that weak looking trailer tongue too
But she said"It's not overloaded"!!!
There's still some deck space
available!!
lars v Ha ha yeh I heard that part too.
Teamwork... you are a good neighbor and friend. Keep up the good vids bro.
That's one of the very few things I miss about living out in the sticks. You absolutely know you have to pony up for your neighbors and they do the same for you.
That horn is hilarious 😂
I actually remember this day!! Looking back on everything holy cow, the road and the work!! Wow!!
That's what it's about, neighbors helping neighbors! Way to go men!
this is where I began watching this families videos.. what a journey.
stay tuned and play catch up there is a lot of content in the narration and thought behind each and every action..
love the channel love the planning and progress towards the future you're building.
one shovel full, one brick, one tree, one board, couple truck's, a couple dog's, one fantastic journey in life...

John Gritman lol I don't buy that bullshit for a minute .
You are blessed to be close and happily available for one another.
There are always things like this happening farming and ranching. Glad no one got hurt and everything was transported safely. Good neighbors are a valuable asset. I'm sure they will return the favor when you're in need.
The 240 blocks is 6240Lb, 3.12 usTon 16x8x6 block = 26lb, SAKRETE 80 lb #42 =3360Lb 1.68usTon

i wonder if the employee's at that hardware store were a bunch of kids. I see it alot in the country.
I just love watching your videos. It is great watching people still coming together to help each other out. God Bless You
It would have been faster to make 2 trips. The place where all this was bought should have known better than to put it all on 1 trailer
imagine the potential law suit against everyone involved in loading and pulling that trailer
Good work you guys! I really hope yall grow fast on RUclips so that it can give you the income you need to finish your home and make more videos. I really enjoy watching your family and this journey that yall are on.
Thank you!
I want YOU for my neighbor... Great job, guys!

Thanks for the video Heath.
That was a heavy load... you are lucky to have god neighbors. Where i live neighbors are ordial but each ver much minds their own business...
One of your best videos to date!
Been there, had that happen to me in a little town in Louisana going to the deer camp. But I did not have building material on my trailer.

I wish I had neighbors like you... God bless you.
A neighborhood where everyone owns a backhoe?
That is my kind of neighborhood!!
A good example of what to do when family or friends need your help👍
Love the horn :o) Up home (Adirondack Mts) if something like that would have happened back when I was a kid (50-70 yrs ago) the locals would have banded together to get that load delivered and laughed about it later. Now? Sadly, the community spirit has died :o( Now you'd be lucky if anyone would answer their door for you to call for help.
Glad you all worked together to get it done!
Super friends. Cherishable ones. Keepers.👍✅
We all have under estimated our trailers at one time or another! I snapped an axle hauling firewood on a dirt road! Put too many round bales on trailers and burned my bearings before! No one else has been in a hurry and overloaded things? It's okay though if you have friends who likewise do the same things you do!!!
amen i dont have no good neighbors or friends you guys are great need more like yall god bless
Talk about sea sick I got road sick watching you drive. LOL
Gail Reese Yeah. Please let us look out the window instead of seeing it behind your head. No offense.
RedPoppyRanch what has happened to Busted Wagon Ranch and Terrel and Mindy?
They dont answer... I hope and pray for them and theirs every day!
LOL... Looks a little overloaded to me... at least +9600 lbs in blocks OSB +3500 lbs +3840 lbs sack concrete then all that wood on top what +2000 lbs total 18,940 on 7,000 lb axles...

This video is great evidence; faces, licence plates........ $1 / pound overload fine !
Z71Ranger "it's not overloaded"
Absolutely overloaded...would have been 2 overloaded trips if they split it up!
Those are 5 lug 3500lb axles.... 8 lug 7k axles probably wouldn't have broke
Speaking of being able to call somebody. I used to have a friend like that. One of those people you tell them grab two shovels, and they asked whose truck yours or mine...
That is not a real surprise that the trailer called . . . . way overloaded !
You were right about needing that horn.... works great for getting cows attention.
good water and good neighbors are the two most important things in a property.
You are the best neighbors! I'm lucky to get the time of day from mine.
Was laughing so hard I almost peed. That horn was fantastic. Never expected that. Those steers knew they better get out of your way fast. LOL. You being a righteous person, ALWAYS helps everyone in need. Believe me, its been noted in the book of life the good deed you did that day. G-D Bless.
Maybe at a latter time some forklift forks could be handy ? For that machine.
Having great neighbors is wonderful! Beautiful scenery!
Bummer but that looked like a really large load
Oh boy was making sure you did not hit purity fence !!! LOL :) By the looks of that axle. He might have gotten off the road a bit or bottomed out the axle. Looks sheared off flush.
The horn was one of your best investments ! Coming from an old gal that’s been and done it! And am now looking for more well drilling gear again. We NEVER learn!😂😂😂
Thats what good friends are for. Lesson there is don't overload your trailer AND always check your trailer bearings.. How far was that from the properties?
5 miles.
Too bad the entire world isn't like this. Friends/neighbors lending a helping hand when needed.
WOW and love the music!
2 3500# axles = 7000 pounds max load trailer weighs 1500# the block weight is 3000#-6000# per pallet and it wasnt overloaded how?
The lord will take care of those who help others...Great job my friend...bless you....
You may want to change out that little 2" hitch while your at it before the trailer passes you on the highway and does something really bad
Good neighbors are like family You like!
Blessings ~
Gotta get that outhouse built and quick!!! Comon'boys!!!!!
I love your rush hour and your horn is quite mooving.
Love the horn. We have a dixie horn on our mule (utv not animal).
That was the other option but I decided to embrace my Arizona heritage...
JUAN: “Who told you I had a car?
JOAN: “The men in the village.”
JUAN: “They told you I had a car? They are such comedians. They meant my little mule, Pepe.”
Drove past you once today and then saw you another time. Recognized ol red.
Beautiful country!♥️🇺🇸♥️
I LOVE THAT HORN!
Two hands better than one👍
I hope when y'all said your prayers that night you gave thanks and asked for a blessing (for your neighbor). Lot of work. Good job.
That ride there was awesome beautiful scenery. Of course the axles broke they did to good of a job loading the trailer.
I love your horn! Good neighbors are a nlessing.
Two broken axels, huh? 🤔 Must've seemed like a good idea at the time! 😹
Good no one got hurt! 😱
Its the trailers fault especially since both axles snapped, proves they were faulty
get 'er done, boys!
Oh it’s overloaded, it’s got like two 3500 pound pound axles... two pallets of block away route 5500 pounds plus they’ve got a pallet of concrete mix bags, a total of four pallets of blockA partial unit of lumber, this would be a challenge for two 7000 pound axles
great job
Wow.. Definitely a two tripper.. BTW those rims with the triangle holes are crap they have failed on are trailers several times.. Check for stress cracks if you have those..
" we do stupid alike " ... I think that's the honest way of saying " We have the same sense of adventure " :-)
" Owning" and "Having" is usually the same sort of thing . But in a case like this ... you could be super rich and Own just about anything you want ...
You can only Have a good friend/ neighbor , and "Having" a good friend/neighbor is quite often worth more than anything you can " Own "
In this video , I would say that Terrel is wealthy in the " Have " dept
Maybe not so much in the " How to load a trailer " dept , but certainly in the " Good friend/neighbor dept
great friend--thank you---
was the guy with the dangerous trailer he love this one
Like minded folks are always the best neighbors!
Amazing video sticking 2gether is what makes it work like the old saying says u scratch my bk & I'll scratch urs xxx
Next time this happens call a flatbed wrecker. I could have pulled that entire trailer on with the load and delivered it home.
ya because there is a flatbed wrecker within 30 miles of that place.. Personally I like the call a friend approach.. do it yourselves..
I bet the 4 pallets of cinder blocks would be overloading that 10,000 pound trailer (8,000 load max). I figure almost 16,000 not counting the dimentional lumber. Looks like 3,500 pound axles anyway.
Looking at the lugs..
Weren't those 3500 lb axles.?
yes
Red Poppy Ranch
Then they were a little over loaded... 🙉
Nice Job..
Those are CONCRETE BLOCKS! Yes, it is overloaded!
"It's not overloaded"! Yeah right
Most places around these parts deliver for about $60.00. No trailer breakdown's or roadside assistance or backhoes required.
lineflyer1 but that is $60 he could have spent on other things.
They came from 30 miles away. It would have cost a lot more than that.
We all live and (hopefully) learn, y'all. No need for rudeness. Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes they're willing to show us to save us some grief. Thank you, Red Poppy Ranch, for sharing the mistakes as well as the successes on your journey.
I called every lumber yard around me to prove my point. They all said they will travel about 60 miles for $ 60 . Few said $100 for 60 miles. Few said free for big order
lineflyer1 That's a lot of effort to prove a point.
Your a good man...
At 4:59 Probably not that much weight.
Probably not that much weight? WTH? Yeah, it was.
It broke axles and springs !
Might want to check the data plate on your trailer next time.
The problem was they didnt put enough heavy stuff on that trailer - they need to double the load in order to work properly!
Well, ea Axle DOES have a GVWRating. X 2 = TOTAL WEIGHT RATING...in GOOD Repair
......trailer Size means nothing. Just adds more weight into the mix.
Very fortunate that you broke down on a very nice wide spot on the road. At a neighbors front door. I am so glad that you have great friends and family that know how to drop and roll - when needed! :) It would be nice if you had forks for your bucket!
Wow, how did that happen on the side of the road instead of on the road?
It didn't. He drug it off the road.
old age finally came to the axles,time for a upgrade
Why not get the dealer to haul it?
Nothing like family
safty ,?why was that trailer left out in the road?you could an should have pulled it ahead a little,machine was there an 3 or 4 trucks!!
