Welcome back to the ranch! Today, we have a big problem that needs to be taken care of, but first, we have to face our worst fear! #ranching #johndeere #ranchlifestyle
That's why most people back the sidsteer on the trailer. All the weight is in the back. Start backing it on and drive it off. You will be able to easily distribute the weight on the trailer.
We have tried it both way and backing it on is way worse than backing it off! You still have to drive the machine over a break over point! Plus if you have a mulching mower on driving off it falls into the ramps!
@OffThePathWithKevin I agree with the mulching head part. Any attachment bigger than the bucket or forks I go forward. But when lighter in the front, I prefer to back it on. But everyone has their own way. I've seen guys drive it on then do a 180 on the trailer to drive it off. I'm not doing that.
When i was delivering all the flooring material to the first Buffalo Wild Wings in San Angelo back in 2008-2009 maybe, this guy rolled up in a skid steer and he had his hands full unloading 2000# pallets of tile and grout. It was a sight to be seen!
You had me cracking up I am a heavy equipment operating engineer with Local 18 I've been doing it for 30 years and that was the first machine I learned how to operate but on rubber tires the tracks are better you're not going to fall backwards cuz it only can go so far and when you hit the point of where Tracks is on the fulcrum point you still have half your tracks are on the ground so stop worrying about that ur safe.
It looked like you might have driven it off the side for a minute…you had me holding my breath until you were totally off that ramp! …No … I could not do that… hats off to your skill set!👏👏👏
That was sweet how the tire got seated on the studs!! Here come the bad torque advice?? How much torque - tighten it until it squeaks, then add another 1/4 turn!!!🤣 Well, maybe that might be just a bit too much!!!
Yeah Kevin I kinda thought you would get the talk. It’s probably could have happened to anyone but it happened to you. It’s not just the cost of a tire but lost time at the job. Hurry up and be your own boss full time. I’ve have personal experienced taking one of those off a trailer and it’s not a fun feeling.
Yes. Here in Texas ❤🔥it's hot. So glad you are taking breaks. A friend recently had ? I don't want to say heat stroke but some kind of heat distress and the Dr said if it happened once it's more likely to happen again so do be careful out there. Hydration. Not sure how you do yard work either. 😓
The trick to the yard work is the zero turn and lots of water! I'm just along for thr ride! It's the physical labor parts that sneak up on you and you get hot before you realize it!
We have been doing one video per channel a week for 3 weeks now! Maybe in the future we might ramp it up again but for now 2 a week is all we have time for!
We're pretty impressed with how you got the new tire on the studs!! And I'm glad I don't have to drive that thing on/off the trailer. But dumb question from a couple of suburbanites... Why put water in the tire instead of air?
What a great video! I learned a lot and was on the edge of my chair a couple times.
Thanks!
Amazing job on getting the tire back on the right place!!!
Thank you!
I hate backing a backhoe off the a trailer i get the same feeling
It's a terrible feeling!

Yeah.. We are never spinning it on the trailer!
@@nathanbillingsley42 Yes sir, I've seen it done.

I told him, I moved it with a pallet jack, you should have no problem. It was a comedy show!
With all our counterweight we have no problem loading our pallets of feed and they are 2,000 lbs also!
Poor kevin! You really have a problem with tires! 😂
Funny story the tractor tire and the trailer all happened in the same week!
One tip for the skid steer and trailer evolution… I was taught if you back it on the trailer it’s not as sketchy…
Not sure I would want to fall forward down the ramps either!
Yeah, that teeter totter action does look a bit…unnerving! Sorry about the tire but the fix was interesting to watch!
You never get used to it!

We do this all the time and it never doesn't feel like you are about to just flip over! I know it's not but that feeling is always there!
We were definitely laughing but both agree we’d feel exactly the same way.
Driving off the Grand Canyon!
@@OffThePathWithKevin >-(o ahhh!!!!!
It looked like you might have driven it off the side for a minute…you had me holding my breath until you were totally off that ramp! …No … I could not do that… hats off to your skill set!👏👏👏
I hold my breath until I am off the ramp too!

Here come the bad torque advice??
How much torque - tighten it until it squeaks, then add another 1/4 turn!!!🤣
Well, maybe that might be just a bit too much!!!
I couldn't belive it either! that's what I set my TQ wrench too? squeek plus 1/4 turn!
I was leaning with you Kevin! And holding my breath
I lean everytime!
Impressive on the refit!
Yeah, I couldn't belive it stabbed on the studs! I was just trying to get it close!
@@OffThePathWithKevin aint nothing you can't do without trying!

I am my own boss most of the week, Ranching is just a part time as needed kinda job! Plus who doesn't love driving yellow and green!
The guy at the tire shop be like🤣
Lol!
Kevin, I unload these every week at AG Pro, yes it scares me to death every time.
You would think it gets easier, but It never doesn't feel like a bad idea!
Yes. Here in Texas ❤🔥it's hot. So glad you are taking breaks. A friend recently had ? I don't want to say heat stroke but some kind of heat distress and the Dr said if it happened once it's more likely to happen again so do be careful out there. Hydration. Not sure how you do yard work either. 😓

That was pretty dang nice tire work
Thanks!
Good job, I have stock in tractor tires, thank You. Hehehe no I don’t
I wish I had stock in them!
Kevin, I Think Throws Wheels Are Torqued At Around 450 FT LBS
That's exaclty what my tq wrench was set to!
You my friend made me laugh so hard .
Glad you enjoyed it!
oooo Kevin got in trouble.
We've been in the 70s here in KC, but the 90s are coming back.
I do get in trouble from time to time! It's been 100 just about everyday here the last few weeks!
Are you not doing mid week videos? I get so excited to see those and threw me off this week.
We have been doing one video per channel a week for 3 weeks now! Maybe in the future we might ramp it up again but for now 2 a week is all we have time for!
Unload a John Deere 325g out of a 7x14 dump trailer every week, stomach drops every time and been doing it for years
I know it's all going to be OK, but it always feels like it's not!
Man how do you keep up doing 2 channels? The Paving new Paths and the Off the path with Kevin plus the home renovation channel, Heee heee😉
I just turn the camera on a get after it!
Saw that! Impressive
Thanks!
Looks like fun
Driving the machines is fun! Fixing them, not so much!
How about a big block of cement as a counterweight?
Counter weight is not the problem! It's having to deal with the break over point of the machine because of the tracks!
We're pretty impressed with how you got the new tire on the studs!! And I'm glad I don't have to drive that thing on/off the trailer.
But dumb question from a couple of suburbanites... Why put water in the tire instead of air?
I'll use a submarine term it's for ballast to improve stability and traction!
You had me holding my breath! Lol
I hold my breath every time too!
Your the best with not keeping tires for long😂! Great job today Kevin! How much did the new trie cost? Have a good day!
It was very expensive!
Kevin, where is your impact wrench! You need an air impact wrench!
We don't have anything big enough for this! We also don't have power at the barn still since the storms took the lines out!
I hate that when that happens i've been there.
So much work, just to get back to work!
Call it the pucker affect. Lol
He said don't ruin that seat!
I bet that was An-expensive job boy you sure have some tire Troubles lately
In real life the tractor tire and trailer tires happened on the same week! So boss man spent alot on tires!
Question… backing the skid on trailer isn’t an option.. asking for a friend
It's the same effect no matter which way you out it on!
@@OffThePathWithKevin . We get it, but less drop backing up?
it becomes an issue of falling forward onto the ramps! And when you have the mowing head on it slams into the ramps!
How many acre is the property 😱
Last he told me it was around 1500! I've only every shown about 400 on the channel!
Totally off subject, how is your Cutting Edge going? Just love that trailer!
It's going great, we are very busy!
My gut was in a knot just watching. Lol it does look a bit scary. Is it scarier unloading or loading it?
Unloading is the worst!
How is your lawn service doing
Fantastic!
Kevin, do you know what the cost of that tire replacement was, just curious? 🤔
I do it was very expensive!
Oh boy… you know, that’s ranching.. I’m sure your employer will understand stuff happens.
He is very understanding, but he did tell me to be more careful around the fires!
