Evening shenanigans while feeding hay
Thanks for the review.
You should have put on the heater first for a few minutes
Love your videos!
You need a kabota
Ive had a few close calls with farm equipment but not that close. That's why you live each day to the fullest. You truly never know when a freak accident can happen.
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯
I did similar thing 50 years ago on my BIL 1950s JD with narrow front end but I didn't get pinned, I jumped clear. I think narrow front ends on tractors is the worse design ever made, with weight on front they sink in soft ground quicker, with weight on back end the front comes off ground easier, I see no practical reasons for narrow front end on tractor. Today I would never own a tractor with narrow front and also would have some sort of ROPs on it........... ((((14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.}}}}
How not to build a fence and imbed wire into the trees 😢
Roll Over Protection System, ROPS, look into it. Mandatory on all tractors where I live.....
When I was a kid a local man was killed when his super c with a loader over turned. The tractor was sold at the disbursement sale. The man who purchased it was kill a few years later by the same tractor.
Thats a sad situation
I love watching your videos
Thanks you for watching
A fella I grew up with, tipped a tractor over on him ,he was way back in the hills,it flipped, pinning him under it,soon fuel started running out,but he wanted a cigarette. But couldn't find a lighter,match.nothing,finally someone came found him,when they got him out and to the hospital,in his pockets were several lighters,,and matches.that guy survived a car crash,where him and the car slid upside down acrossed a bridge ,he had road rash over his entire back,legs arms,head,and refused to go to the hospital.
Good thing your ok an i think your the first to survive that it’s impossible to survive like you turned the impossible to possible like your a legend now
What a reminder. In 1967 my father rolled our H. The same loader doing the same job. Turning toward the spreader and raising the bucket. He went to church the next Sunday.
Lost a older neighbor who had a "A" john deere with a loader on. Had to plow with the loader arms up. Thought it gave him better traction till the plow hooked a rock . I dont think he had time to react .
We're all glad you survived. However, ROPS arches work better than exhaust pipes (even "straight" exhaust pipes...) Shouldn't be difficult to retro-fit a proper ROPS. Remember, when depending on a ROPS to protect you, you MUST be wearing your seatbelt. A ballast box on the back (carried low) would make the trike more stable and at greater degrees of inclines. I understand why tricycle-gear tractors were popular: they turn in their own length (X2) but they scare me.... That's a sweet-lookin' "pooper-scooper" rig you have there.....Multiple-spears are infinitely superior to a standard bucket for this use.
As soon as I looked at the picture I thought ooh trycicle front end with a loader, glad you're alright.
Sounds to me the exhaust pipe saved you.
Know couple of ppl that rolled a 4wd wide front because they were running with the loader in the air. Not sure why ppl insist on running with the loader in the air thinking just because it’s a wide front it won’t roll. 🤷
I lost my cousin in an accident on his farm,his fiancee was at his side when it happened....complacency is natural...we all get that way but things can go real wrong,real fast.
Sorry for your loss it just takes one second
Glad you are still with us to warn everyone about the dangers of taking tractor use for granted.
Thanks for the honesty man its so important. Take a look into regenerative agriculture. I'm a first generation and was failing miserably for the first 5 years the past 4 years i have absolutely turned my place around. Take a look at my Channel my videos are terrible but my early videos dive into the daily moves. I'm down to 100 days on hay from being at 220 days on hay 4 years ago. I've learned its not how much you have its about how little it cost to produce and it starts with the soil cows are fertilizer making factories. Greg Judy on youtube a big resource I have learned so much from his fencing strategy and his methods to allow the land to rest. just liek the buffalo on the great plains used to have a migration you need to to do that on a small scale. i run a 110 day rotation in the summer which leaves me standing hay in the field to graze all winter. I now have no more sacrifice areas and graze year round. I know right where your at right now trust me. I been there take a step back take a look. Gabe brown and greg judy videos can help big time brother I'm telling you I nearly gave up.
Thank you for the info I will definitely watch some of your videos
I didn't think people put buckets on tricycle tractors. Glad you are okay
Now there's an example of a real man right here. Babe we dont need no 911, just fetch me that floor jack, put her right there, give it a couple pumps and I'll be right out. Thanks for sharing your story.
The only safety feature on those old tractors from the 1950s is the operator. A loader on any tractor without a ROPS is a BAD IDEA.
So glad you are ok. Never could understand why tractor manufacturers were allowed to attach loaders to tricycle tractors. The whole concept has to be unstable from the start! Regards UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Is it a 3 wheel tractor and a front-end loader? .
Yes it was now it has a wide front end
Kenny Arnold from Pilot Mound, Iowa flipped his tractor and died. He had just retired. His wife Mary could not free him and had to watch him die.
Your right so many people that flip over a tractor are not so lucky.... It is amazing the stupid stuff that happens on a tractor. Best to always think ahead of the worst things that can and could happen. four wheeled tractors is a must...tractor Romps roll bar a plus. Fire extinguisher a plus. Fore sight and knowledge a must....
Tricycle gear tractor…..an accident waiting for the opportunity to happen. 😐
Thank God you are all right I have never had a tricycle front end but I heard a lot about them from my grandparents and my and the only thing they use them for is to pull a rake
Glad you are still with us, God just gave you an opportunity to witness to me (& others) & I’m appreciative of it. SO MANY times I could have been easily killed on the farm - one time I got 60+ ground hornet stings about 1.5 miles away from the house (also on a Sunday morning when I skipped Church) & I ran the whole way back with hornets in my ears & eyes & mouth gasping for air & nearly collapsed at the back door as I was swelling up so bad. Wife gave me a mouth full of Benadryl & took be to ER. Another time I got thrown onto frozen ground by a mad mama cow trying to band her calf…. Thank you for sharing & yes, God is Good!!!
Got to be careful. Bad idea to even put a loader on a tractor with a narrow front end. Heard of a lady with a 4020 John Deere flip backwards as she was backingdown a hill with a round bale on the forks. Last thing she ever did was hit the brakes making the tractor flip backwards. Her kids did find her!
Like a handy man jack, the narrow front isn't good. People will tell ya all over how great and safe they can be. Is it worth your life?
It would have been smarter to did you out. What if she jacked it up and then jack came out from under the tractor?
Immediately Subscribed when I saw the picture. My Grandfather bought a big Farmall Super M for his farm back in the 50s and my Mother had 5 Sisters and only one Brother and he was my most Favorite Uncle and had been operating that tractor since day 1. My Grandfather passed on in 1977 at 90 years old and my Uncle took over the farm and of course the tractor as well. The worse day in our Families History occurred in late fall 1980 when he was hauling firewood in a big trailer. He had stopped to load the last pile as it was getting dark and he failed to see that the rear utility bar was just behind a good sized stump. He climbed back on and as he pulled forward the tractor flipped backwards and he was instantly crushed to Death by the steering wheel. In the accident investigation we were all told that he never suffered because he died instantly. He was a very religious Man and I remember how his two Daughters cried for what seemed like Months and the oldest one was a Preachers Wife and she admitted to me years later that she was so Mad at God for taking her Father away from her. I do know that she finally forgave God for this and is doing okay now. It happens so fast people and each year in just the US about 130 people are killed in tractor rollovers including a Man I Loved and respected and I still miss him to this day.
So sorry for your loss it can happen in an instance. I am so grateful I was spared lesson learned
God saved you 🤔i thought he rolled it because you didn't go to praise him that is one vindictive sociopath
God blessed you.
You sure are! When we were growing up a farm family we knew lost their Dad this way. It was truly awful.
Farms are more dangerous then they seem. In my little area, my father rolled his H with a loader because it was on a slight sideways slope. Luckily his brother yelled to jump as it started which was enough time for my father to manage to do it. My father's friend who had a farm up the road had his tractor drive over him (I forget the exact story) but luckily somehow only got a bunch of broken ribs I think. And a woman who works at our local livestock auction had her arm torn off by a PTO. It all seems safe until that split second when it goes wrong so fast.
Thank God for his grace and mercy .praise God your alive
I had a row crop just like that. It had a bale lift like that too. They get real tippy with the wheels set inboard like that.
Bucket lower
Man that is lucky
I am glad you made it. Your wife is a keeper. I almost rolled a loader without an ROP. It was an old Ford (pre ROP). It scared me enough to be very cautious about turn speed and bucket height.
My sister in law was killed using a JD 4020, narrow front end, moving round bales with a loader.
So sorry for your loss accidents happen so fast
Old tractors have killed more men that jealous husbands, everybody who has been around them knows of someone either hurt or killed by one, after operating heavy equipment for over40 years my advice is to buy one with 4 wheel drive not so you don't get stuck but.when engaged you have 4 wheel brakes and.if you don't have too work in tight areas the bigger the tractor the more stable.
What a good woman you have. Treat her like a queen
This is what happens when you get these people that move out and get 20 acres or 10 acres of land and think they're a bunch of farmers are going to use this old equipment and not know what they are doing
Farming is one of those occupations you can work 7 days a week and still loose money. There is a reason why most farms in operation have either been passed on with minimal debt or have expanded into a corporation farm. Inputs costs are no going to go down but are going up. For example, last year I decided to apply fertilizer on some of my hay land which I had not in some time due to the high cost. I applied $1,100 worth or fertilizer and probably gained 1/2 that on additional yield so I basically lost $600 partly because it was a dry year but that happens. The last year my dad Dairy farmed (mid 90's) the milk price was about the same as he was getting in the 70's. I see farms still milking 50-70 cows and the only way to make any money is have minimal debt and one has to work off the farm for more income and insurance.
