what muck! just like quick sand! great job getter the sprayer out. yes you are so correct about moving big stuff in the dark, just waiting for someone to get hurt! be safe and wait for the sun to be up. take care Brandon!
Wow the bottom fell out on that sprayer lol glad you got it out and it wasn’t damaged I’ve heard people breaking the axle off trying to get them out before but that was years ago when they first started building them like that and they didn’t build them as sturdy or the people hooking to them wasn’t the brightest bulb in the pack lol
I see a business opportunity for you Brandon. From what you've sid in the videos, these super soft bogs consist of peat moss - and that means to me that that patch is there every year when it is wet. Now peat moss is becoming much more valuable because they have limitations on what they can harvest in Canada. So how about you offer the farmer who owns the land a "one time special price" to excavate that peat moss, haul it back to your trommel and fill the hole with sand/soil blend harvested from a borrow pit or a sand ridge close to the excavated hole (on the farmers land). That way there won't be futue late night call outs to rescue a sprayer (or whatever). If you work deals like this, you can grow quite a pile of peat moss to sell. What do you think? Get the GPS coordinates and do the job when the ground is frozen and you are slow. Everybody wins. What do you think?
Great video content, looks like you are staying busy just as a recovery operator. That video brought back a time we had one night with a stuck sprayer. When it comes to true muck ground, everything is sketchy even just driving across it for those of you out there that don't have muck ground. The point that you had both of your tracks buried in front of you was a bit nail biting to say the least.
Sprayers suck to pull out. They are heavy and fragile and as you said have no tow points. Everything about them is expensive to fix. Years ago one of our guys got a brand new John Deere 4720 stuck, literally in its first field ever. Caused $23,000 in non-warranty damage to a machine with only 12 hours on it.
@@TMxl-w5t Look up sprayer video from last year. The corn was head high. This is muck. No bottom to some places. You may pass over it or you may sink like a rock.

Ground like that best to plant trees and let it grow glad you got it out. Have a great day be safe.

Good job! Amazing how it looks so solid and just absorbs that sprayer.
Did no one see the DANGER in this pull? We're you scared that line might break and come right at you sitting in the cab? Yowzer!!!
Not out there I'm not scared. I can not pull on the lines hard enough to break them this is where knowing your equipment and rigging comes in to play
@@dirtgrainsteel Equipment, ropes or chains can fail. You may do it so often that you don't see it as dangerous. Just an observation on my part.
Glad y'all got it out undamaged in one piece. Now stay outta there!!!
Thats some crazy down time.
And I thought I got equipment stuck. Lol
Tis the season
WOW, is all I can say, that was in there.
Reminds me of a place that I used to work at !!
Damn thats a deep hole! Especially for as dry as it if.

Great job need to rename channel Dirt,Grain,Steel,and Recovery lol
Man that thing was in there. Great job guys
There is no Miller, its owned by New Holland
Or should we say CNH
@@dirtgrainsteel Fiat actually! Lol
WOW Brandon that was soft, looked like it was in quick sand.
You sure find yourself in some crazy spots, hahahaha. Good job guys. See you in the next one.
Tough farming country
That muck is mean soil. I thought our quicksand was bad.
Brandon you just keep playing in the mud#!!!!
Looks liker he forgot to take the parking brake off.
Are those blue ropes ‘Kinetic Recovery Ropes’ like the red ones I’ve seen on other channels?
How come, farmers in the USA don't use wide/flotation tyres?.. Cheers👍👍,
They want to be able to drive down corn rows and minimize impacts to soybean fields.
@@craigadair128 But there aren't any corn rows yet. Dual wheels or flotation tyres, for when the land is wet..
@@TMxl-w5t Look up sprayer video from last year. The corn was head high.
This is muck. No bottom to some places. You may pass over it or you may sink like a rock.
Also has to do width for going down the road. Most sprayers are wide.
I think that sprayer found the portal! 😵💫
Anyone ever try pulling at an angle instead of straight out
Brad is a cowboy, you will be pulling him out again
You haven’t farmed until you farm the bottomless muck and it swallows your machine without spinning a wheel.
always a good day when there’s something stuck
Those sprayers must be much heavier than they look....
Raise the stuck machine until you can fit 2 2X12X10 under the wheels.
Pretty scarey ground condition's that could have turned into real narsty recovery 😢😢
