- Why buy a lift? THIS IS WHY!
Some folks think the rappelling incident was staged. I assure you, that happened. Some of the video footage was recreated, but I presented it exactly as it happened. I really did get stranded, I really was alone, and I really did have a rope with me, and it really was the first time I had brought a rope with me.
Why did I need to be up in the lift to get drone footage? I should have explained better. Of course I can get drone footage standing on the ground. I wanted footage of me up high in the lift. Mainly I was looking to get a cool thumbnail.

Welcome to my redneck amusement park! I hope you liked the video! Some folks think the rappelling incident was staged. I assure you, it was not. I really did get stranded, I really was alone, I really did have a rope with me, and it really was the first time I had brought it. Why did I need to be up in the lift to get drone footage? I should have explained better. Of course I can get drone footage standing on the ground. I wanted footage of me up high in the lift. Mainly I was looking to get a cool thumbnail. Oh, and the pond is 12-13 feet deep in the area where we were jumping. I estimate the highest I jumped was about 35', 10.5 meters. Have an awesome weekend everybody!
We use to jump off a train trestle and a road bridge into the Thornapple River when we were in high school. It was a blast waving at car going by as we would jump.
I can't recall from previous videos...how deep is the pond in that area?
Love your channel!
Well, now we know the REAL reason for the purchase LOL
Imagine driving one of those through a shopping mall with 3"of clearance on each side between a kiosk with $70k worth of hand blown glass on one side and a glass plate storefront on the other. At 3am. Hopped up on caffeine. And getting paid to do it. For two weeks a year. I've had a weird life.
One time I said Red Neck on Fake book and they tried to suspend me for 30 day's! But I fought it and won! Yahoo the definition of a Red Neck is a white person who works out in the sticks baby!
Not sure how I haven’t came across your channel before but it’s my new favorite one. The videos are great. Keep up the good work.
It would be a good idea to have the “aux power” on a separate battery for emergency power.
More fun just to rappel! ;-)
I did the same thing I bought a 65ft boom lift and have used it for everything on the farm including 2 40ft windmills, siding on house, trimming trees, watching fireworks, lifting windows into place. I would be lost without it
Great video . Lovely autumn colours
You have nards of steel! So many things could have gone wrong with that repel. I enjoy your content. Good job.
Lmfao the seals at the end @FarmCraft101
I was in a very similar situation doing tree work in a rented unit, up 50’, the little old lady I was working for had to use the override on the ground, me hollering down to her instructions on what to do, in the end I bought myself a F800 Derrick digger that has a bucket, winch, grapple, and can lift 11,000 lbs..but I will not go up in it alone!, it will quit on occasion and no way down from that unit…
I send messages during the video because I forget afterwards what I want to comment on
I just saw how you explain the rope
People don't like getting advice from other people but
It'll save your life someday if you do
Good thing a man told you about that
Beautiful place, best place to raise kids to. Congratulations
So basically you just wanted to show us how good you are at pope repelling! Nice either way,but i must say,the rope,the rigging is what kinda tipped me. Good job though!
You got me there.
@6:03 Battery looks swollen on left side, FEB 07 really?
W Yeah cause the most people carry a climbing harness and climbing rope With them Like flying with the parachute
I don't think you were fooling anyone with the falling, but it was definitely entertaining ;)
I've got to say... didn't expect the rappelling though, I expected you to climb down the boom instead
He could have ended swinging away from the boom...
I thought the same thing, that sliding down the boom would be option #1. Of course sliding down the boom would do a number on your Johnson.
The rappelling was actually safer. Even with a rope if he slip off the boom he might smash into it swinging back and forth.
Yes, I agree with you I was waiting to see how he was going to slide down the boom. I don't routinely wear a repelling hip harness with repelling hardware, so I would have been the scared little monkey skooting down the boom.
He fooled me. I was on the phone with 911 there for a minute...........
Coolest dad around, no doubt. My kids would like to come over and jump...
I got in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago when my ladder fell after I had gotten on our roof. No one around to respond to my calls for help so I "slipped" off the lowest edge I could find. It was a hard hit and I'm still recovering. My family is very angry with me. Alas. I'm 73 but didn't feel like it until now. :(
Ouch. Glad it wasn't worse. Get better!
Dropping off a roof makes anyone feel 73, no matter how young they are. Always bring a cell phone when you working some place like a roof, or operating heavy equipment.
Whenever I go up on our roof (which is as infrequently as I can manage) I always use an old strap and screw the ladder to the fascia for just that reason!
Unless you were like in a super rural area, I would've just waited until I could've gotten someone's attention
My dad has an RV at our farm to use as a getaway. He was coating the roof 3 or 4 months ago. Ladder slipped and he went down about 12 feet onto the porch. Somehow he didnt break any bones but he landed horizontal. Busted up his face and was one continuous bruise for weeks.
I'll tell you what I told him. You're damn lucky. Hope you heal up well partner.
I am quite the fan of the show. Probably for the similarities I find in you and I. I am not afraid to take on these challenges that you do. All these things you need to do to make the old equipment work. But today you just proved that you are at least one step ahead of me because there is no way in hell I was stepping out that basket for any means.
@farmcraft101 You handling that rope like you've never done anything other than that makes me wonder how you've become the man you are today. I'm 26 years old and sure have a few tricks up my sleave but getting to know your vita would interest me because maybe you head us viewers into a direction which we do not yet know can be of interest. So please tell us more stories from your past life.
Cheers from Germany
It's really cool that you had the foresight to have your rappelling gear with you when your lift engine quit.
When you are using a lift that is 26 years old, and have had to do multiple repairs, making a contingency plan becomes a no brainer. Cheers!
I've been stuck on a sunbelt boom lift 2/5 times I've rented one.

Quick disclaimer: no seals were injured in the making of this video.
There is something different about that first step off of a structure vs. a step off of a rock face. Even if the rock face has an abrupt edge, it is less nerve racking to go off than it is go out a window and on to the rope. And as you mentioned, being on a less stable structure adds a little more excitement for your brain to think about.
I don't know about the boom but i actually love rapelling in open air, and being on a rock face weirds me out!
As a tree guy, I can confirm, getting your weight set into the rope and stepping off is definitely the hard part
I'm surprised you're still able to post this, as in your lady didn't take you out when she got home and found you decided to rappell 50' down without anyone present.
She used to be a climber too!
@@FarmCraft101 Aha, that would help!
@@FarmCraft101 I still believe that was staged but great content anyhow. 😁
Thought you'd posted a video for once without a damaged seal lol. Love it
One of my favorite channels.. great humor and I particularly like the rebuild fixing equipment..
I got a JLG scanner on newer models they have ECM after 2000+-.
Check boom wiring where it is in tray .
Also where it plugs into plugs and pins get corroded.
JLG are the best. Free repair parts manuals online.
John L.Grove (JLG) invented first hydraulic cranes .
There is a museum in Shady Grove PA.
I had many Grove and JLG the best.
We used to set lightweight trusses with this lift .
Be careful driving on uneven ground I almost got tossed out of basket going off a curb . Pot hole curbs not good when driving with boom up.
I love it! Good to see you enjoying life, since this video was posted, I knew you were okay, but that clip at the beginning got me for a second, then you cut to the drone shot and I said "I bet this is the REAL story of him getting stuck, and I'm not even upset, this is good content to watch"
Keep going with this!
You had WAY too much fun making this one.... Awesome!
Have you tested those manual descent valve just incase to see if they worked?
I haven't actually, and I considered doing so. But then I thought something might start leaking, cause a problem, etc. Since I'm always going to have my rope with me, I figured I would just not open that can of worms.
@@FarmCraft101 It would make a great video coming from you but i understand stay safe for you and your family i wouldn't want to see anything bad to happen to you keep up the great work 🙏👍
Mobile diving tower, never thought of that, one more excuse to buy a lift! 😂
How is the solar install performing, any bad news or issues since your last video on the topic?
Still performing as well as "new" or have you noticed a notable decrease in performance?
Solar is performing perfectly so far, no noticeable decrease in production. Cheers!
@@FarmCraft101
Sounds good, I am about to pull the trigger on buying my "solar farm". 20kw, will set it up much like yours, but it blows my mind how much you have to pay for solar in the states. How much overhead the supplier/installer takes.
Direct from china 550w panels is as low as 100$ each before shipping :D
Hey did anybody else see that airplane pilot who videoed himself crashing his plan on purpose and he had a parachute and fire extinguisher strapped to himself. What people will do for views
you really are a pleasure to watch, buddy. awesome content, really well done. love that you're basically fearless to try anything (and do the research when appropriate too). i thumbs up every time i see your videos. the only other people i've ever done that for are this old tony and keith fenner. i've donated to them before to thank them for their hard work making awesome videos. i don't like doing paid subscriptions though. do you have any ways other than patreon subscriptions to donate?
Thanks. Yeah, check the description. www.buymeacoffee.com/farmcraft101 is a good way to give a tip, or a beer. Cheers!
@@FarmCraft101 you got it! thank you:)
@@MG-nz6bx Wow, that was too generous! Thank you sir! I better go get to work on next week's video! ;-)
@@FarmCraft101 HA! no need for thanks. that's my first thanks to YOU! it's a lot of work and effort editing all these videos, and it's much appreciated. haha and go at your own pace, bud. hopefully that keeps you stocked up on beers for a while;)
The “stuck in the basket and can’t boom down” scenario seems contrived in this case. In best case, possibly a reenactment of the actual occurrence.
This is hilarious! Love your content.
"oh no my lift doesnt work and I extended it to max height, looks like I have to climb down with this conveniently placed rope and rapelling gear" I see what you did there lol.
Yeah, I still can't understand why you would have to go up in a boom lift to get some drone shots...
To get shots of me in the lift. Was going to make a thumbnail, though I ended up choosing a different one.
@@FarmCraft101 Don't need to turn off the engine for a thumbnail shot. I don't believe you reset the shutoff switch, so everything would be disabled until you reset it.
You should have sent the drone for help...... "What's going on Lassie? What's wrong? Is FarmCraft stuck in a well?".... Glad you got down safe... I always enjoy your videos....
That was great! Love the boom diving.
i was working long hours on a job in decatur alabama for my M.C.A. and i was in 120 ft jlg extended all the way with no one around at the end of the day gettin dark so i slid down the boom useing my lanyard on my harness, it about made me piss myself but i made it.
Yikes!
"theres nothing solid arround you" well atleast theres the solid ground there to catch you wehn you fall :D
You sir, have a rich life! I always enjoy your videos. Keep ‘em coming! I’ve also done a fair bit of rappelling and might add that you keep a pair of gloves in that dry bag with the rope. You did fine with the figure 8 but if, for any reason it got away from you, the potential for rope burn on your hand is high when trying to slow it back down.
Best use of a boom lift EVER !! I loved this.
loved the touch with the seals in the end.
Glad to see the family having fun together.
Also very supportive of anyone with cows. Good job !
Spending all that time in your pond, and without your Johnson too
WHAT? You are going to repel? You are a mechanic, a welder, a farmer, a film maker and now a mountain climber? I thought Superman was only in the comics.
Ahh this video will get 15million or more views i hope. Well done clickbaiting, or is it clickbait? No cause you did fall out of the lift twice at that. Anyway nicely done, i guess we could call you a Master baiter..........lol Take care Brother....
The seal broke off! 🤣
Not a bad video, but not as good as your others though.. I know you're trying new things to grab a bigger audience, I just hope that this is not a permanent format change (i.e. pure short teen entertainment and not learning or make anything) as not alienate your current audience. It kind of reminded me of a TikTok video. I'm not saying this is a terrible video either, just a massive change from what you currently do which is ok every now and again which you have done in the past, you got to have fun too. Your production quality is going through the roof too, very polished and well put together. I know you're trying to grow your channel and I dont really understand why its not bigger as I see you in the same category as Andrew Camartra (although not as good these days), Diesel Creek etc, . i.e. fun and easy to watch and learn something too, so I thought I would give more constructive opinion than typically, your awesome, love the video. Just my opinion too, it's your channel, and you have been doing pretty awesome so far. lol, John, your dam has a lot of seals in it. need to be careful your johnson doesn't hit and get stuck in one of them. It such as shame that youtube doesn't allow firearm stuff too, I think the aluminum receiver series had it all, entertainment, education, you were making something and we got to meet you and your skills.
Oh yeah right. I always wear my climbing harness and have my rappelling rope and figure eight rescue descender in the lift when I go shoot some drone footage .
OK captain obvious please do not descend this channel into some clickbait pos channel. Be like Joe Friday on dragnet, just the facts maam…….
I kind of think this whole video was staged. I mean you were filming that "emergency" climb down using multiple cameras.
It was a pleasure to watch modestly dressed girls from a distance playing in the water.
Thanks.

9:00 I was expecting a stuntman setup of cardboard boxes with maybe a mattress on top, looked really good though ✌️
Everything about the repelling scene was a bit too convenient. Mildly entertaining though. At least it didn't involve crashing an airplane into the side of a mountain.
i liked it, you not only gave your daughter and friends a fun platform to us, but you enjoyed it with them, you cant buy those memories, and i know from using the platforms it makes work around the farm so what better as well, i thought , how convenient, a harness and rope lol, you did good
happened to me got trapped very top & inside empty 60ft stave silo needed to close all doors before filling with silage again the top 2 doors decided to fall off/inside always alone no ropes cell phones didn't exist million pigeons laughing at me only way down repel the unloader cable middle of the tripod up in the dome bare handed after getting down hung a safety rope from top to bottom permanently
Yikes! I probably would have just starved to death up there. 🤦♂☠
Lmfao @ the seals. Great ending!
Not what I was expecting, but it sure was fun! ....That was some serious special forces repelling...next stop for you is a Blackhawk helicopter
One of my favorite channels, keep up the great content!!
A d you dont have relay man down incase your hands slip off of the rope they can slow your desent.
Coolest dad in town.
Can fix anything and will let you dive out of his boom lift. Lol
Just discovered your channel today, and ended up watching 5 hours of your videos. Love your stuff
The seals at the end had me cracking up
I served in Vietnam and would do that from the chopper....
11:55 - Why are those cows in the time out pen? Were they too loud during cow class?
Just happened to have all the necessary equipment on board. Yeah.
4x4, Diesel Powered Man-lift for $1000... How bad can it be? Check this channel out Jon ........Diesel Creek 🤣He paid only a 1000 bucks.
I see that you Jon where already in contact with him. I read your comments to him.
This is my first time to visit your channel. I learned a lot and enjoyed watching. Thank you🤣
I remember getting training for just such a situation, and that's when I vowed never to use a boom lift ever again!
How does one know what the lift is capable to "hang out" without tipping? When jumping into the pond it looked like it was on a slope as well? Where you not afraid that it might tip over into the water? Please excuse me if this is a stupid quest. 😅
Good question. It can lift 1000 pounds in most positions. 500 pounds or less it can do in any position. It has a tilt sensor that tells you if it’s tilted too much. We never did more than 500 pounds over the pond, and we didn’t even have the boom extended very far. We were well within its capacity. And yes, I did think that through before we started jumping.
Thanks John really enjoy your sick sense of humour keep them coming
Cheers from Aus
Keep doing long videos like 30-45 min videos please!
I admit I fell for it! But to be fair, we have seen you do other stupid things. So it definitely wasn't outside the realm of possibilities!
Lol. I guess I can't argue with that!
An adjustable height diving platform without any stairs to climb. The youth will remember this for years. Good times.
You are great. You inspire us with your lifestyle and practical solutions. I wish you health and happiness.
Now you almost know how I felt when I was rappelling from helicopters during my military duty for the Greek Marines...keep up the great videos ...greetings from Athens Greece
Wow, glad you survived the incident. Please stay safe, accidents at heights can be deadly. Hope you at least had your cellphone to call for help.
Really hilarious - nice to see that certain Work Tools can be used for different purposes 🙂 Nice to watch. Cheers, H.
I worked in a mill and working with manlift was mandatory in the crane repair department which I worked in. They required a ground person just in case of malfunctions and to direct people away from the area. They also were there to call the manlift people if it broke.
Looks like you got the scam too
@@monkeythe1st They are becoming pretty common.
The key to a long life is...trying not to shorten it.
Blowing all those seals was worth it in the end....
Just happen to have climbing gear with you... definitely not staged
That part wasn't staged. I wear a harness in the lift, decided to bring a rope in case I'm ever stranded. And sure enough I was.
That video deserves a billion views.....:)
I would absolutely use the lift for a pond launch. ;-)
I really miss my bucket truck.
Only 35’, but man was that thing handy.
I never repelled from it, but I was generally using it for tree work, so it normally had rope in the bucket.
That is a fantastic video and that is one heck of a boom for height. What a great way to enjoy the pond on a hot day ... I was volunteer Ski Patrol for seven years out in BC Canada and one of the largest things I had to pack was rope , but I can't tell you how many times it was used to haul people out who didn't didn't know how to read ; " Out of Bounds or Avalanche Area ".... Sure everyone loves new powder but very few know how to ski on it ! ! !
You are so refreshing. Wish I lived closer. Thanks for sharing so much.
That was great!!!
I am sure you know this...but why not clean the terminals (and leads, or just tell us that you did, or maybe show us) and put a light coating of dielectric grease on the terminals when you change out the battery? The posts had that corroded light gray look about them, maybe they weren't shot in the best light for me to see them better, who knows. I love the video's keep 'em coming, also I am glad you're still able to grab a rope and descend when your options are minimal!
Reminds me of this RUclips vid, FAKE. ruclips.net/video/vbYszLNZxhM/видео.html
Awesome visual effects for the falling. A boom lift can be a good diving platform.
Them fall colors are just gorgeous such a beautiful lamd you live on the red and orange mixed with the green and yellow is just breath taking @FarmCraft101
The “fall” appeared to be, let’s just say, somewhat rehearsed, although it was entertaining nonetheless. But to have repelling gear conveniently available after multiple equipment failures on a boom 50’ feet in the air while home alone and a drone ready to record everything? That’s a big ask. I guess I’m just getting skeptical in my old age.
You aren't alone, many are skeptical though it did happen. One, I'd be stupid not to have a contingency plan in a lift that is 26 years old, hence the rappelling gear. Two, I'm a youtuber and I have cameras rolling all the time. Three, I'm making videos about the lift, so I almost always have at least 1 camera on when I'm using it. I guess I should have explained that better in the vid.
@@FarmCraft101 I would have not even dignified my comment with a reply if I were you so I take you for your word. I’m sure you are very relieved now. And is there anything you can’t do?
The seals at the ends 😂😂😂
Well this video escalated quickly.
07:25 I'D LOVE TO SEE THOSE VALVES BEING USED
That ending! 😆🤣 Gotta love it! Glad that you came out of this scenario just fine. Best channel on RUclips! 😎 👍
Way too much fun. I used to use boom lifts a lot when I was working, never thought to bring a rappelling rope up with me, guess I should have.
Very nice Rappelling off that basket I bet it's alot more sketchy coming off that basket then a cliff or mountain @FarmCraft101
Thank you for an excellent educational video. I learned a lot. A great teaching video. ( I think that "Mamma is going to get a class on how to operate the lift from the ground control") . Just for safety. I love the lift!
Another top notch video! HOW HIGH WAS YOUR HIGHEST JUMP?
As a rock climber, I might have some suggestions. For instance, don't let go of the rope below the rappel device while stepping out/off the platform. Either keep it in your hand or wrap it around your leg a few times. You don't want to weight that figure-8 and not be holding onto the rope or it will be a quick trip down. There are better ways to coil a rope for climbing too, but that probably doesn't matter since this is for emergencies. Mostly, rock climbers need to be able to feed out a rope to a climber and not have it be twisted.
