Love your videos. Big "thank you" for going to all the trouble of showing people what farming is like for you. Many people think farming is just "throwing seeds in the ground". It's actually a lot more like the space program with all of the complexity in the equipment and the multitude of decisions that have to be made in real time in conditions that are always changing. Fantastic job by you and yours giving us a window into this world. Love it!
I have had trailers move back a little when backing under to hook up so learned that planks placed parallel with the trailer under the pads reduce the chance the trailer is pushed off the planks. Not completely relevant here but an old trucker’s tip for another time and place. Thanks for the video. Another case of improvisation on the fly, the definition of a farmer.
When that has happened in the past, we have to get wood cribbing out and bottle jack it out 4in at a time, you learn to use old disk blades under your jacks to prevent this. It's a hard lesson to learn when you undo it 4in at a time.
@@iam106racing2 ha, I love it. Want a better piece of entertainment ... next time you go to an implement auction pick out a couple of them and watch them pay nearly list for equipment that exceeds their needs and their wallets. It's very funny when they start high-fiving their posse...until you remember that foolish business choices and no common sense are destroying family farms.
Happened to me once, trailer full of pork on a hillside. Tow truck lifted the low corner while I backed under. Expensive but effective... Thanks to you and your family for all your efforts, greatly appreciated!
Zach, I suggest you get some railroad ties (seals) to place under your landing gear(s) if you are going to use the trailers that way. This works well and saves running the gear all the way up and down. I've landed fully loaded chemical tankers that way without issue. Thanks.
"Straight water, straight water, straight water." Lol I feel you, whenever I'm dumping water I want a huge sign that says "it's just straight water" so people don't think I'm dumping chems.
Asmr Head Well technically for farming, a sprayer is just dumping chemicals slowly onto the ground in more of a controlled fashion and not as concentrated
Yep. Even dumping well water. You need to do it out of sight. Never no who is watching because when the pesticide police show up they usually bring a fine with them.
I absolutely love the look on your dad's face when he spots the flat sprayer tire; he didn't need to say a word, yet I think we all knew what he was thinking.
Once had a brand new 53' aluminum trailer loadedneith about 49500 lbs of steel go through our parking lot because a driver decided to drop it right by the "NO TRAILER PARKING sign. The dolly legs didnt drop straight down through the asphalt, it over-flexed a beam and broke a bunch of welds, creating a big shiny piece of scrap aluminum.
Our fork lift attachment hooked up that nice once upon a time... then we started using the loader for picking rock. Now you gotta beat the lock latch into submission when switching buckets.
I sincerely hope you guys take a LOT of care with those chemicals. I know they are not as bad as they used to be. My dad used a lot of organophosphates and DDT going back to the 60s, and he died of non hodgkin's lymphoma when he was just 72. He wore a proper mask when mixing and filling the sprayer, but tractors did not have cabs back then, and the air would have been thick when applying it. He wouldn't let us, his five sons, close to the chemicals, bless his heart. So please take every precaution, and think of yourselves and your families.
My dad always said keep it between the fence posts cuz I used to drive truck alot at night. And Gpa always said things come in 3's. 1 Trailer tipped 2 Flat tire on sprayer 3 Started raining and hailing
Filled with water, water is about 8 pounds per gallon do the math...no your john deere loader will not lift it....and yes when the tires are squishy...its heavy...
A 25 years ago my neighbor unhooked a FULL annhydrous semi trailer in the spring, blocked. ROLLED RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS F150, CAB&BOX. TOTALLED OUT. Then came the fun to unload the full tanker and tip up. No product list thankfully.
Hello my friend, I run heavy equipment large cranes, forklift in so on. nothing would work if you didn’t have the RPMs cranked up. Next time you go to pick something up with the forklift you got to have the RPMs up so the hydraulics will work. As always stay thirsty my friend
Yeah I think he assumes it would do that automatically, but that's not how any of the tractors I've driven have done it, my tractor has like three times the lifting power if you rev it up
The sheer look on your dad's face and that little slouch he did when he saw the sprayer tire was golden 😂😂😂 Everyone has been there more than once, it's definitely a mood 😂
I worked at a lumber yard loading trucks. One morning we came in and one side of the landing gear had gone through the asphalt. There was plywood and 2x4s all over the lot.
We had 2 trailers sink into soft ground just like that in quick succession. The second one was being filled with bags of cleaned lentils. After that, trailers getting loaded *always* had a tractor underneath. Problem solved.
As a former "yard jockey", encountered this situation more times than I can count. It won't flip on over since it's resting on the nose. However, you really need to make yourself "landing pads" that are 18" X 18" or 24" X 24", these can be made out of just treated lumber. You'll want 2 to 3 layers of lumber, they're heavy as can be but, they won't sink nor will they break. We've had to get wreckers to lift up the trailers, particularly the loaded one's that gross over 100,000lbs. Now, I do have to say, "you should've know better". Yea, a front loader tractor isn't going to lift a 20,000lb trailer. You got lucky with the wheel loader. Now you can get straps, use the front loader and shift those tanks back over to center since they're empty. Great video, cheers :)
Had that happen more than once when loading apple bins on flatbeds. We kept several 6 x 6 around that would span both feet to support the trailer when the truck was not available.
We have our tanks in a van trailer too, actually works pretty well. We went with a 3" hose instead and rigged up a hoist that lifts the hose slightly and swings into the back of the trailer. It's actually way more easy to use than a liquid tanker.
We used to weld a piece of 8" or 10" channel iron across the bottom connecting both landing gears together with about 6" over hang on both sides to keep them from sinking like that, worked very well.
I had that happen when I dollied down a loaded trailer with a load of I beams . Ended up calling heavy tow . I told them that the trailer sank and them said another one. Took him longer to drive down here than to lift it back up. 150 dollars later (1999 prices) he said have a great day. 6 inches of gravel wont support a loaded trailer with 50 thousand pounds of steel. I am sure there was a full 30 thousand on the nose. I never dollied down another one after that. I left the back at the yard with a poured dolly pad
Try sliding your rear tandems (rear axles) forward to put more weight on the rear of the trailer (on the tires). As it sits now, in the video the tandems are all the way to the back of the trailer which puts all of the water tanks' weight on the trailer's landing gear/legs. Add a couple wide pieces of wood for the landing gear/legs. Thanks for the videos. Love the channel.
Ground penetrating radar to map frost heave/potential collapses around the yard. Some mn co that wants exposure & eyeballs. "always something" glad no structure/bodily/plumbing issues. Y'all keep safe
Add a piece of channel that reaches all the way across the trailer to the feet of the landing gear and it will solve this problem. We always did this to our chip trailers we had to drop in the woods. BTW the channel needs to be wide enough for the feet to set inside of. Good luck!!
I loved your dads face when you told him about the flat tires that was pretty cool and the new dog off that could be for the off the husk “keep it between the rows”
Ya. We have learned the hard way as well. If you want to load an unhooked trailer always, always put a whole railroad tie across the landing gear. We have some pretty craptastic gravel on the west side of the Red...
Hey Zach, I’ve learned with forks on a tractor it’s easier to move to forks over if they are angled down/streight up and down. I hope that helps and makes it easier for you and your dad
Yeah I also do that, it makes a surprising big difference. Some grease would also do wonders. I am sure he has something perfect for that, from the WD-40 Company. ;-)
Had that happen to a loaded hopper. One of our drivers unhooked it with 1100 bu of corn on it. Used bottle jacks and cribbing blocks to get it out of the ground.
We had that happen a couple years ago, had to switch trucks on a trailer full of seed wheat, luckily we could still wedge the truck under to hook it up.
This video is a perfect example how farming isn’t easy like some ignorant folks would like to think. Sorry this had to happen to you and luckily the damage seemed to be minimal but this is a good example how dangerous farming is. I love your videos and look forward to the next one coming out. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us city slickers 🇺🇸
Hey Zach: Pretty calm under pressure. Nice Work! From now on you are “COOL HAND ZACH”. At least the sprayer tire didn’t go flat in the middle of a corn field. Good Planning! Captain Al from Tampa😎
I am glad you recovered the trailer and did not have more damage. Glad you didn’t lose chemicals and have cleanup issues. Might want to reinforce a parking spot like a concrete pad or something.
you need air in the front tire, there is a recommended PSI in the loader manual. I didnt run the right PSI in the front tires with loader work and it ruined one twice.
Last time I pulled one out it took a petty bone fork lift, a boom truck for pulling wells, and a skid steer. Trailer was full of corn. They are heavy for sure.
Excitement down on the farm! Cold have called Ron Pratt at Midwestern Truck and Towing. But it would have taken awhile. He'd have to come up from Missouri! But he does have experience resetting trailers. When you were talking about how the tractor should be able to lift more, I was looking at the front tire thinking how much more do you want? The tire looked as flat as the sprayer tire! Thanks for the exciting video!!
Tip for moving the forks manually: Place the forks about knee high from the ground, then use your knee to push at the bottom part of the fork while your hand is pushing the top part. If you push at the same time you slide the fork pretty much straight making it slide a lot easier.
Did you have the throttle up a good bit. The tractor would have probably pick the trailer up. That what we have to do when we have to pick something heavy up
Question: Was the tractor running at full RPMs when you tried to lift the trailer? I know it seems like a stupid question but I know with my small Deere front end loader ya gotta give it the juice in order for it to use all she has with the hydraulics.
As far as I know on these new with the computers you don’t need to rev it high in order to get pressure , you just choose the pressure You want on the screen , I could be wrong though
He was increasing the flow of oil not the pressure. Some more revs would have helped but the front loader just didn’t have the capacity to lift it. I think the payloader was near it’s capacity too
@@zorrosoxter4703 Aaaah. I guess I just needed to squeeze every bit of juice I could get outta my small Deere to get the job done. Like they always say....pick a tractor you think will fit your needs....and then buy the next one up.
@@zorrosoxter4703 Loader was basically idling, plenty of power left. I used to run a C years ago. Only capacity a CAT loader knows is having to light of a rear end. They don't stall out, it's gonna lift something. Whats in the bucket or the machine. Kinda disappointed in the JD. Very smooth operator in loader, well done.
Check out AVE. He just did a tune on a small JD to get near maximum output from hydraulics. They are tuned to lower end of safety pressure from factory. You can safely juice them up a little and it will make all the difference.
Had that happen with fully loaded wood chip trailers a few times. I had the privilege to hand shovel them out so we could get the wheel loader under the front to lift the front up. Good times.
I watched this a few days back and I just wanted to say: I was able to say to my wife, "See, this stuff happens to other people too." Also, I knew from experience that you wouldn't be able to lift the truck back up with a loader.. I had to use a pneumatic hydraulic jack and blocks to get mine back up. But anyways, thanks for the video. I feel like if I was making videos it would be all stuff like this, with more crying and swearing.
You need to have someone take a real good look at that landing gear before you try to load that trailer again. The landing gear can be weaken,cracked or compromised now!
We were loading tomatoes on a trailer one day and it sank to the kingpin...took the loader and dug a hole in front of the trailer and under it then backed the truck into the hole and hooked up the trailer...it took a JD7520 to then pull them both out of the hole but it worked.
I've seen at some auction sales trailer dollies made from scrap trailer tractors you can use a farm tractor to move trailers around the yard or fields. Or in your case support the trailer.
There is no way I would have let the loader leave without putting a semi tractor under the trailer, the tractor would have been unhooked from the other trailer and set up to back right under the trailer. Moving the trailer a couple feet and calling it good. The landing gear may look okay but anytime in the future trusting the landing gear to hold up the trailer with a load may not be in your best interest. Good luck stay safe
I had a loaded deck go down through the ashfault made bad mess as well as bent legs. I am a HD mechanic. I even change or fix dolly legs. Today i took out 2 full suspentions under semi vans and put older really wore out ones, cause will be storage units for the rest of thier live
@@ThingyGoos yeah we should and i'm sure johan would appriciate it and even though english isn't my first language i do try to properly write english so does johan and i'm sure just by reading more into english and learning it more i could write a little better
Also towing companies have lots of experience rescuing sinking trailers haha. At my old yard driver job we used to have trailers sink all the time out in the wet gravel lots.
for rightening the trailer what i uld o is attach a chain to the front on the frame and then hook the other side to a tractor or forklift and lift the trailer stright up
“Now it’s hailing. I sure hope that trailer doesn’t get dented” 😂😂😂
When the grain cart was chillin otside
It hailed so hard that it drove a trailer into the ground .

The trailer just wanted to plant itself so it can grow up to be an even bigger spray trailer
😂True
The 579 peterbilt looks great
All other YTubers have such nice spray trailers she didn't want to fell left out.

I've had that happen with a fully loaded flatbed trailer. I put oak stakes under the landing gear after that.
Never a dull moment on a farm. Always interesting to see how these guys can use those excavation equipment to solve a problem.
Your Dad's facial expression when you get him to look at the flat tire was priceless.
Looks like the tractor has a tire low in air too when you tried to lift the trailer.
@@jimarndt8158 I assumed it had sunk in to the wet ground but that's certainly possible
@@jimarndt8158 I thought it was the weight of the trailer squashing the tyres, 'cause both front looked that way

Yep that's why they make trailer jack stands. I've seen em tip when someone forgets and drives a forklift in with a heavy pallet.

That left front tyre on the tractor it is taking quite some weight or it is very short of air pressure.
Likely low psi most farm tires run a softer tire for better displacement on soft soil
It's a low psi tire with a LOT of weight on it! It doesn't look that way unless there's a trailer on top of it 🤣

I know it seems like a stupid question but I know with my small Deere front end loader ya gotta give it the juice in order for it to use all she has with the hydraulics.
As far as I know on these new with the computers you don’t need to rev it high in order to get pressure , you just choose the pressure You want on the screen , I could be wrong though
He was increasing the flow of oil not the pressure. Some more revs would have helped but the front loader just didn’t have the capacity to lift it. I think the payloader was near it’s capacity too

Aaaah.
I guess I just needed to squeeze every bit of juice I could get outta my small Deere to get the job done.
Like they always say....pick a tractor you think will fit your needs....and then buy the next one up.
@@zorrosoxter4703 Loader was basically idling, plenty of power left. I used to run a C years ago. Only capacity a CAT loader knows is having to light of a rear end. They don't stall out, it's gonna lift something. Whats in the bucket or the machine. Kinda disappointed in the JD. Very smooth operator in loader, well done.
Check out AVE. He just did a tune on a small JD to get near maximum output from hydraulics. They are tuned to lower end of safety pressure from factory. You can safely juice them up a little and it will make all the difference.
Had that happen with fully loaded wood chip trailers a few times. I had the privilege to hand shovel them out so we could get the wheel loader under the front to lift the front up. Good times.
I watched this a few days back and I just wanted to say:
I was able to say to my wife, "See, this stuff happens to other people too."
Also, I knew from experience that you wouldn't be able to lift the truck back up with a loader.. I had to use a pneumatic hydraulic jack and blocks to get mine back up.
But anyways, thanks for the video. I feel like if I was making videos it would be all stuff like this, with more crying and swearing.
I use a 10' 2x12 when i drop my trailer on dirt. It spreads the load better across the whole thing.
You need to have someone take a real good look at that landing gear before you try to load that trailer again. The landing gear can be weaken,cracked or compromised now!
They’re fine. Happens all the time.
assassinlexx Minnesota puts them 8 feet underground, I highly doubt they broke it
@@Vaneps0 Yep, not a biggie.
Don't drop a loaded trailers unless you put it on concrete. Much safer
STAY SAFE. C-YA
@@bodycams2477 Incsse you didnt watch the video, it was unloaded when they dropped it for 2 weeks. They loaded it and it sunk
We were loading tomatoes on a trailer one day and it sank to the kingpin...took the loader and dug a hole in front of the trailer and under it then backed the truck into the hole and hooked up the trailer...it took a JD7520 to then pull them both out of the hole but it worked.
Pretty sure that computer setting is flow not pressure
I've seen at some auction sales trailer dollies made from scrap trailer tractors you can use a farm tractor to move trailers around the yard or fields. Or in your case support the trailer.
Send us that rain in Houston
Been a hot af 2 weeks ~60% humidity and over 102° every day
Thats a pretty good dam reason for you to STAY HOME!!! Htown be hurtin with the rona!!
@@davidanalyst671 with all the assholes protesting for weeks im not surprised
Moronic leadership etc etc.
@@davidanalyst671 oh hogwash.. overzealous local politicians are trying to flex muscles
Amen, was going to sat the same thing. It's cooler today in heck than in Houston..
@@ddylla85 DUDE!!! This would have all been over 3 months ago if we all wore masks!! pay attention!!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing
The whole way through the video all I could think was sweet babyJesus another flat tire
Oh my, not sure what to respond to. Just glad nobody was harmed. Could have been worse! Stay safe!
There is no way I would have let the loader leave without putting a semi tractor under the trailer, the tractor would have been unhooked from the other trailer and set up to back right under the trailer. Moving the trailer a couple feet and calling it good. The landing gear may look okay but anytime in the future trusting the landing gear to hold up the trailer with a load may not be in your best interest. Good luck stay safe
I was definitely expecting more expert trucker comments here
I had a loaded deck go down through the ashfault made bad mess as well as bent legs. I am a HD mechanic. I even change or fix dolly legs. Today i took out 2 full suspentions under semi vans and put older really wore out ones, cause will be storage units for the rest of thier live
Kinda disappointed we didn’t get a “Hey, you okay” remark 😂
Glad to see that you got that trailer unstuck, I have did that with a four wheeler only it was 4 feet buried in mud
Ditch seems like a bit suisidal.... Bless from Sweden. love thees vids!
Tv 5150 clearly English isn’t their first language, give them a break
@@ThingyGoos yeah we should and i'm sure johan would appriciate it and even though english isn't my first language i do try to properly write english so does johan and i'm sure just by reading more into english and learning it more i could write a little better
Also towing companies have lots of experience rescuing sinking trailers haha. At my old yard driver job we used to have trailers sink all the time out in the wet gravel lots.
Time to buy a big front end loader, you know, just in case.
for rightening the trailer what i uld o is attach a chain to the front on the frame and then hook the other side to a tractor or forklift and lift the trailer stright up
