I Spilled So Much Corn

- Remembering all Veterans today. (11/11/2024) No one got out of the hot seat today: Laura spilled corn, Grant ruined a tractor rim, and Gage got the skid steer stuck. Little Larry Loader came to the rescue, most of the corn was picked up. Harvey from Graham Tire was able to come out and install a replacement rim. Yankum ropes always come in handy (they make great Christmas gifts and I have a discount code!!) and the Bobcat is just fine. How is your Monday going??

Poor Gage looked so dejected, we all have done stuff like that even worse so cheer up Gage everything will be fine you'll look back and laugh about it sooner than later. I did have to chuckle just a little about the spilt corn, it could have been worse but when the skeptical Laura went and got Little Larry I couldn't help but chuckle. Little guy save a lot of shoveling .
Plus, think about all the corn that's going to grow there.
Stuff happens. Adapting, improvising, and overcoming with a cheerful attitude is the important thing.
Poor Gage looked so sad. Things happen Gage, keep your head up!!!
You two are such a joy to watch and know!! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!!!!
Calamity is a known problem that can get you into more trouble, the way to deal with it is to take your mistakes, those hiccups and learn from them pick yourself up and move on. Nobody died nobody got hurt and you recovered the day adequately to go forwards and as a bonus you got a full RUclips video out of it to your credit. Well done guys look forward to the next chapter in your lives.
I hope people don't blame Gage/Laura/Grant for any mistakes that happen because nobody is perfect! Love you guys!!
Never her fault.
It’s not a mistake, it’s a John Deere commercial, for which they deliberately spilled a tiny amount of corn. No harm, no foul - well, a little bit of foul, but hey.
It's their farm, they can do whatever the heck they want on there as far as I'm concerned. Added to that, the human brain is hardwired to learn from mistakes. These people aren't stupid, so any mistake made is a learning moment to them.
Never work parallel to water, you will wind up wet eventually. Work a down hill slope to a potential wet spot at an angle towards the water. Lesson learned.
Never ever use a skid steer to mow or do anything else near a pond or lake. Good way to get drowned if it flips over in the mud as the door is in front and can't be opened unless the bucket is clear of it. My uncle in Pekin Illinois was drowned that way.
@@joefudd They should have an escape hatch on the roof. Many machines similar to that used offroad where there is limited ways to escape if the attachments/loader prevent escaping and only one way out!!
@@davemurphy2774 the problem with that is that the rollover cage has to be able to withstand a lot of weight and impact in case something is dropped on top of the machine or if it rolls over. This is why a hatch isn't allowed on heavy machinery with a ROPS. I think the design that JCB uses on their skid steers is much safer with the access door being located on the left side instead of in the front. This way the bucket or other tools cannot prevent an exit of not fully lowered.
@@joefuddSorry about your Uncle, poor guy.
@@UncaDave he was a great guy. He worked many many years and retired from the Caterpillar plant in Pekin Illinois. He had a great sense of humor, always made everyone around laugh and smile.
Gage, Laura, Grant: be VERY VERY CAREFUL when ever using a Bobcat near any pond! My uncle was in his Bobcat skid steer cleaning up the banks of his farm pond and it had flipped over forward into the mud trapping him inside under water. It had drowned him because he could not open the door to escape! He was also alone and they didn't look him for about 8 hours until he had failed to come back to the house after dark. Seeing this part of the video made me cringe seeing how close that this could have happened to you, Gage! Please remember this!!!!! I'd use a ditch bank mower attachment with the hydraulic arm and a tractor instead of the skid steer for mowing near ponds or creeks!
Ditto, I lost a close family friend the same way but with a small tractor mower. It slid into the pond at the back of the property pinning him underneath it under the water. They didn't find him until it was too late. First time running the mower, first time cutting the lawn at the new property. Guy was a 6th generation farmer, and he left his wife as widow after less than a year of marriage. Very sad.
@@boinger1988 One more, the farm land that I own now had it's previous owner (another relative of mine) killed when he was dragging heavy felled tree logs up it's steep hill and a log had caught the leading end into a draw/rut. The tractor reared up and flipped over backwards onto him, crushed him underneath it. My uncle had to get his tractor to flip the other tractor over to remove the body.
this. Safety first.
We just had an old man do something like that here. I was able to get to him bc i heard it on the scanner and i shuttled the crews in and out on the atv. He was very lucky. His tractor tipped off the bank. It was a loader pulling a brushhog.
LOL. I'm behind on your videos and haven't seen Little Larry Loader yet, when the barn door rolled up for the reveal , it looked fullsize. Laughed when you walked upto it and it's lower than your waist.
Like the Husband & Wife Handshake...made me laugh..
Don’t be to tough on gage he’s a hard worker, he’s just got a lot of energy and a lot of work to get done.And that little Bobcat skid steer looks like it would be fun to drive. Thumbs up for Gage.
Great job Grant on purchasing Larry the loader. I knew Laura would come around. Too bad that rim couldn’t have waited for another day to get a little gratification from Laura. Haha
This is not the first time you made a mess Laura! You should carry a shovel and bucket everywhere you go!!😘
Accidents happen. Had my share of them growing up on the farm, helping my dad and brother farm. And helped my neighbors too.
As far as the spilled corn goes I bet there isn’t a farm that hasn’t had the forgotten open trailer trap door mistake take place. I just shovel the corn back into the corn head and run it back thru the combine to clean it again.
Haha. Things happen. Gage, it’s ok, man. We’ve all stuck things and had to pull ‘em out. No damage, no harm, no foul. Country livin’. It’ll happen again. Bent rims and dumped corn! Ha! Agree, Grant… that one you can’t recover from. Haha.
Great content, Laura. And Laura, respectfully, you are such a beautiful young lady inside and out. I know Grant beams with humble pride and I’m certain your parents and mother and father-in-law are incredibly proud. We are as viewers. Just great content.
Way to GO Luara! Just about every farmer has spilled something. We forgot to check the tail gate on the dump truck - it was closed but not locked - opps - clean up time.
Gage is already great, and after today even better. Live and learn!
That folks is a glimpse of real farm life......just another day in paradise..... you guys rock!
Love that little bugger. Bravo
Laura spills the beans about spilling the corn. Not too bad. The squirrels in the area thank you. 🙂
Honesty is the best policy1
Is there a squirrel in Kansas anymore??
@ you know, I’m not sure. I live in Tennessee and I’ve seen them all my life so I just kind of assume they’re everywhere. I’ll have to research that. But if not squirrels maybe deer?
😊 don't be embarrassed Laura. We've had the same thing happen a couple years ago and our hopper door was all the way open. On top of that we were loading on the road along the ditch so it filled the ditch full too. And it was at night so it wasn't noticed until our trucker walked back to close his tarp. We had to take pro boxes and the skid steer to clean ours up. That's farming. We all make mistakes. It all makes good memories to share in the future. Love watching You and Grant. Keep up the great videos.
Gage definitely looked defeated when they pulled up, poor kid, I’ve gotten a many skid steers stuck, completely out of no where, I feel for him
I really liked seeing you and Grant riding together, side by side, in the tractor cab near the end of the video. You two look so great together. For my fields that were close to the grain leg and pit my wife would unload there from the grain cart instead of into a truck; and she just augured/ran the corn (or soybeans) out of the bottom, front of our Kinze cart. Sometimes she would forget to push the hydraulic/remote control to shut the opening on the bottom of the cart; and when I unloaded corn from the combine into the cart corn would spill out onto the ground when she did that. I had a neighbor that a hog, confinement building who helped me during harvest; and when she ran corn on the ground, I told him to scoop it up and take it home in his pickup for his hogs which was much easier than throwing back into the cart or a truck. Sometimes he would tell her on our radios to "please spill some more because my hogs are hungry". When he said that sometimes she got pretty mad; and she would give him an obscene gesture. I'm smiling again, Laura. ❤
Gage should get a raise........ he knows how to make content. :P
Yes a
Ma
@@jackbarthel5496 bruh that situation couldv been so bad... like he's lucky he didn't get fired honestly lol good thing they got it out
That 'kid' is what, 5-6 years younger than the 2 of you? 😂
@@donc-m4900 bro that’s only making it worse … she said he’s done it before … like it’s a 60 k machine plus the attachments so if it were mine I’d be more strict on where he can go wit it
Its not his fault he got stuck.....why was he working so late on a Friday! 😂
Hey not to worry… you guys are having fun. Live. Laugh. Love.
Remembering your grandpa today on Veterans Day ❤
Larry needs to be next year 4th of July parade
Don't feel bad. I had a GMC dump truck almost like the one you and Grant just bought. The tail gate had a cam lock and pin system to hold the gate closed. Last year I grew corn I had just dumped a load and when the bed came back down the cam felt like it locked the pins in, but unbeknownst to me, and easily spotted had I bothered to check, the cam had just spun on top the pin and not grab the pin in. Had a full load on and was headed to the barn and there was this dip you had to cross before crossing the ditch. Just as the rear wheels hit that dip, that gate flew open with a huge thud and at least a 1/4 of the corn went dumping out onto the ground.
Back in the day we used grain scoops. Now, its pretty easy with portable shopvacs. Even the 5 gallon bucket one in a pinch.
Un suflet minunat ! Dumnezeu să vă de-a sănătate !🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
Use a shop vacuum to recover your corn used to do it Illinois. When we spilled corn,we scoped what we could, and we sifted out of the vacuum tub to clean out any unwanted trash out of our corn
Was thinking that maybe a shovel would have worked too? You know, one of those ancient tools like a simple pencil and paper…
That little lawn mower with a bucket became a big help 😁🤩👍🏻
Great video! Such clarity!
Hey guys. If you put a little aqumulator between the hydrauliclines of the little loader, the shocking goes away when using it.

Great job on recovery and rescue!
A farmer can do about 23 jobs. No wonder the SeaBees wanted farmers! Thanks for sharing.
I can see how that would be a good fit. We used lots of young adults at the ski hill I worked at. The farm kids were a premium product.
Laura, when the tractor was stuck when Gage was driving it, was it not because he went where Grant had wanted him to strip till the soil! 😊
Happy Veterans Day in remembering your Grandfather from a fellow Seabee.
Little Larry the Loader to the rescue!! Win! 💚💚🚜🚜🚜
gage pretty quiet during that recovery, lol, i would be too, probably feels bad, thanks for being understanding and supportive!
The reason Little Larry the Loader started on command is simple, right place right time. It was no where close when Grant needed a battery.
We have pulled out stuff that wreckers would never been able to get near. The worst was a 2366 IH Combine with 6 row head. The head was all the way up and under the mud, walked off the platform onto the ground. We hooked our biggest 250 hp 4wd tractor to it and broke chain after chain. We then got big enough cables that we would just spin. Our neighbor had a versatile 895 with new tires all around. We had to get that to pull on the combine. It was either come out or come out in pieces. The rear wheel assist would go about 90 mph, the front wheels slowly came out breaking the clay suction. I wish we would have had videos back in the early 90’s. Thanks for the videos. Have a safe harvest.
People get killed and destroy windows grills rads towing with chains when stuck bad....Don't ever use chains or chains on ends of tow ropes for towing recovery!!!
Don't cry about spilled corn. Little Larry did GREAT
They could have used a portable vacuum and that corn would have been picked up without a trace. There is a "LEAF VACUUM LEAF BLOWER" that has a reverse auction on it for sucking up stuff other than just leaves. 🤠
@@tunamaniak Thought that was what they were going to use 1st solution that hit my little brain 😆.
Run that skidstear warm/hot (if no water in the engine-oil), most systems will have some sort of evap-system to get rid of unwanted moisture!
Little John (Deere) to the rescue
Love watching yout videos and how you explain everything to the point I got a job on a farm last week and loving it so far
Laura, Spilled corn/ Bent Rim call that a Human error draw. Little Larry its Cool. Keep up the Harvest America Needs You. God Bless
Nooo lau what have you done?!?! ....In the end Grant was right!! the new toy was going to be useful for something
So I gotta go with operator error! Do your pre trip just like you are supposed to do with the tractor trailer. 😂 my confession is belly dump trailer loaded with pea-gravel… corn is an easy cleanup compared to what I spilled, however I learned a very hard lesson!
Since you have the “old” tractors, how about a sickle bar for the wet edges so the skid steer can be saved for safe use
Yeah but I would buy the old stuff from Brinley.
Or the batwing mower, looks like they could have hung a wing from where Gage made the first pass around the pond and trimmed right up to the waterline.
@@aaronwilson4083 Too busy makin RUclips YaKnow too time consuming to use a harness string trimmer near the pond
Dash! not so bad, dairy farming, and spilling molasses, now that is messy. God Bless all. Fabulous Ranger, had one of those in New Zealand. Bliss on wheels.
Had a significant corn spill from our truck when 14 years old but you know the sun came up the next morning
Yes it does.
Well we can thank Gage. He sure knows how to make great content!
Gage didn’t have much to say 😢 Great job as usual. It’s always something!
Hi Laura and Grant and Gage
Every moment of this is perfection, can't stop watching.
Glad you got the Bobcat out of the pond...The tractor just walked up the bank no probs....Hopefully no damage done...Stay safe and see you soon
Beautiful beyond words, just wow.
❤😊I REMEMBER THAT HAPPENING AT THE FARM I HELPED AT TOO!!! 😁😁😁THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO SEE IT ❤😊
A portable vacuum cleaner.
G'day from W.A. Grant, Laura & Depth Gage. I just couldn't resist that one Gage. This video has made my morning as i was feeling a bit #*#?# after unhooking the trailer & forgetting to unplug the trailer light plug before driving off.😵💫. Harvesting is under way here & it has been a bit of a scary start with two very nearby harvester/ crop fires but as with your community everyone turned up & got them out without any building or people damage. Thanks for another entertaining video guys.
Grant's Off-Road Rescue.
Hauling the leetle tractor on the leetle trailer with the leetle truck.
Laura, you’re too cute!
It's ultimately the driver's responsibility to pre-trip truck and trailer daily. Had that been done, no corn would have been spilled on the ground.
God bless you all the work you guys do on your farm God bless ❤
No good crying over spilled corn , take care , and keep smiling
This is the second time that Gage has parked a piece of equipment in a pond. Someone is gonna get killed if you don't start marking the boundaries of those ponds and ditches.
yeah
@@NealB123 boundary is pretty clear. It’s called sliding. Wasting time marking stuff won’t do a thing.
That’s farming, if you don’t screw up once in awhile, you won’t get anything done.🥴😎
I was on my tractor with my bushhog last week and I know what Grant means about being nervous on a hill. It doesnt look steep until you are on/in the tractor trying to drive on it. Gets under the nerves a little and makes you sweat. Thabk goodness for low gears.
Now I really want one of those little tractors!
Don't feel too bad Gage. I once ran a MM G model for 3 hours with no water in the radiator!
fantastic videos guys. wow what are the odds that all three would be on the wall of shame in one week (lol). i say whoever has the most accidents at the end of the month or year has to buy a caseys pizza! - i dont know how many times l.ve goofed up from hitting fence posts to getting stuck with the ole ford 4N tractor. gage thats part of the farm work- laura -little larry has earned its place in the farm.. gremlins 3 -farmers 0. salute to nebraska veterans.-david from arkansas.
Well done! Slow and easy gets it done!
Well, I am always amazed at the number of spilled corn/beans incidents in these farming videos. It is time for a short checklist for the driver to do after doing any type of unloading, equipment starting, etc. Why not attach markers somehow indicating visually the doors are open or closed. But it is your corn/beans and paycheck!
Thanks For The Video!!
Glad There Was No Harm Done To The Skid Steer!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
All confidence in the Yankum! We've all seen the recovery guys use 'em. They're made to pull quick and hard and us the rope's stretchy snatching tendency. My money is on John Deere AND Yankum! Yay!!
Great video. I watch those recovery videos with those other guys. Not talking anything from them but I agree with the pulling power of your tractor.
we did the same thing cople times this year woching frome Mexico love your videos ❤
Brings back memories of getting a scoop shovel and throwing it back into the truck.
Well, that was a "fun filled" afternoon of farm rescues. Just as well the weather was lovely, and I'm glad Gage was OK, with just his pride a little soggy! You're a good hard working young man, Gage! Was all good though with powerful tractor yankum muscle! Do you guys have a sifter/screen to dump the corn through to get rid of that loose rubbish? A free feed for the local critters! Cheers from New Zealand, David
Good for you! Proves you are human like the rest of us. The school of hard knocks as my dad would say. Lol
I'm thoroughly impressed with your patience!
With Gage stuck, things happen, and the main thing, nobody was hurt, a good job pulling out, as for the corn spill Laura, who ever drove the truck, should have closed the truck gates before leave dump site
LOL...happens to the best of us.....I remember my brother-in -law who left the hopper bottom open....result....big pile of spilled corn.
Hats off to Larry. JM
Wooops! 😂 a lot of work went into that pile of corn!!
I like the corn on the truck cab best have to watch Zoe she is scooping corn every other day from combine breaking down to over filling the bins I feel sorry for her she tries so hard ❤
Very cool person in sight 😎😁 just an average hard worker
JD EQUIPMENT WOW SO
AWESOME APPROVED 👏 .......
great video !! .. . .. .. .. nice clean up of the "spill" .. .. .. .. .. .. and awesome yank job on the "cat" ...... getin er done !!!
Never cry over spilled corn❤
Love the video Laura thank you
Glad see you
Thats not too bad of a pile, this spring during seeding I forgot to close the end gate on one of our 3 ton straight trucks and I got about 200bu of clean wheat seed on the ground. It took our 1070 case and front end loader about an hour to clean that up and get it back into the truck. Sleep is a good thing during busy times
I have often thought that MORR needed a tractor added to their fleet. For the very reason that you concluded, farm tractors are where the real power is at!
Ahhh shovel is a very versatile tool perfect for the job if it has a long handle and wide mouth. You dont have to drive through the pile. Just shovel it into the front end loader . Is also easier to avoid the dirt and stalks getting mixed in.
It actually works quite well and as a bonus gives the body a bit of a workout 😅
That is a Cute little tractor
Laura the John Deere Hydrostatic transmission is great! I had an old 300 that I did a LOT of mowing with. It never. Let me down!
Laura .. you have nothing to be ashamed of .. we all are only human and make mistakes from time to time.. for me i say that was such a little pile of corn compared to what sone of us have done lol .. meaning waaayyy more lol.. an as for grant an the rim .. same we’re all only human.. i bet that rim can be fixed too.. ive repaired many .. good luck love the vidoes and thays one sweet little loader mini tractor bought also love the vidoes of the older tractors an combine as thats my era of growing up .. 👍✅👌💯
That little tractor is perfect for the job
The animals will appreciate a little spilled corn this winter.
Hello Laura always glad to get to see you you just get more Beautiful every day 🌹
0:45 it’s the vacuum cutie!!!
I love the rib design with only fewer ribs and much bigger ones for turning.I have a forty twenty ingersoll tractor I wantna put them on
