Coming from a guy that has been injured by equipment, I gotta say, you just got a million dollar safety lesson for free!! you got the message and you aint even missing any fingers!!!
He's far too careless. His middle name is, Shoulda. One of these days it will catch up with him. A Clevis pin should be chained to the long pin as a reminder TO USE IT. My 11 year old has more sense than Evan.
@@wileycoyotesr8623 mistakes happen all the time on a farm. Most people just choose to edit to out. You need to remember that evan has no farming experience this is only the second or maybe third year of balding hay for him . I think he learned his lesson. Most people now a days that have a farm where raised on it .they had their father to give them information on what not to do as they grew up . He didn't.
@@wileycoyotesr8623 It's amazing he hasnt gotten seriously hurt, gotten the animals/property injured or majorly damaged, or both. Seems like a good dude and accidents do happen but his aversion to reading instructions and lack of common sense is going to catch up some day.
@@teenagefarmer If you needed a hitch pin to attach a device, knew it should have a clevis pin to secure it, would you use that hitch pin? Your answer will determine your common sense.
Evan I love the realness, you easily could have made an excuse to never posted this video. It takes a man with broad shoulders to post his mistakes and misfortunes. The UA-cam comments sections can be a harsh place when you post these type of videos. Keep up the good work!!!
Close call. I'm no farmer but a regular viewer of your show. Funny that I did think to myself, strange that you did not put a pin in, something "you always do". Glad you were not hurt.
There is so much that can go wrong in farming, I've done the same thing you did and not clipped the pin. That is a lesson for all of us, and I am so glad you didn't get hurt, thank goodness for that. Well good luck on the repair, stay safe and have a great remainder of the week.
to Close for comfort! Sometime complacency can jump up and bite you the backside! Glad you are okay! Next time you will NOT think "AH it will be Okay" It did jump pretty high! It looks as if it came within 2 feet of you! Rebecca may have a few choice words for you! Good Luck! Again I am so glad you were not hurt!
Evan, just glad your okay. We all screw up thank the Lord you didn't get hurt. I don't have to tell you the statistics of farmers getting hurt. Be safe !
As a guy who grew up on the ji case tractors just cut the power steering belt an go with Arm 💪 Strong steering case never had good power steering in that Era they were better than nothing!!
You are correct on the cause & you are blessed to have escaped any injuries. Thankful that you are walking away with no injuries and just a little bit wiser😉.
That was dangerous putting that hitch pin in without a clip to hold it in place and it will ride up and out and that will cost you now in parts and labor and you were lucky to not be hit by something. The old saying, "a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" surely applies here and I am glad you were not injured.
Brother you are not alone! Did my tedder last year! Bent the pto shaft, $350.00, bent input shaft to gear box... $150.00, replaced input shaft bearing because I had it apart and couldn’t tell if it was damaged.. $50.00... I now use safety clips!!!
Glad nothing serious happened and you weren’t hurt. Cheap lesson, we all take things for granted only to find out our mistakes and sometimes they are quite costly. The Good Lord looked after you. Blessings
Just wanted to let you know when I Ted a Haydn I start on the inside of the hayfield and work your way out. That way you are not running over what you have already tedded i. Glad you are ok. Just a suggestion. Great video’s
You are defiantly Blessed Evan, God was with you. Like I tell my friends who Farm and Ranch we have a vary hazardous job and can happen unexpectedly like it happened to you. Keep safe friend your wife want you around for a long time. We do Hay and cattle and Injury's happen Fast.
Oh man I laughed! Thanks for real life true disaster! So much like my errors with machinery as a kid- my poor dad! I can list at least 5 such incidents. I learned from each one, but I learned the hard way. Example: Ever fill a diesel tractor with gasoline? Dad's winter project to fix it! Oh boy! I loved this video. It affirms our efforts and our lack of foresight. So honest and so real!
Hi Evan lucky for you no injuries,unfortunate for the Implement as the yoke & sure looks to me the PTO shaft is bent. Every day we learn something, keep these great videos comming.
Very thanful you were not injured, Evan.. I would have thought you might have several differnt siz pins available. I am surprised...You have 3 extra bearings but no other clip pins you could have used...Expensive lesson learned...And a learning lesson for all. You could have skipped that part but you are very upfront and show everything... One of the main readsons I really like your videos... Looking forward to the repairs....
A high school friends dad was actually killed by a tedder/rake combo. Fell off the back of the tractor and a tine punctured his femoral. Definitely got lucky
Evan, agreed! I noticed as soon as you hooked up, but thought maybe you just didn't film the pin clip. But when it flew, I knew! Lol I think you got lucky! Oh well, another lesson learned. Hope the repair cost is low. God Bless!
Thumbs up only because you learned from today's experience.. yikees Evan ! So glad you didn't get hurt buddy ! Take that little extra time to make sure you're safe ok ? Thank you ! We all love y'all want to continue watching wonderful you and your precious Rebekah ! Life gets so busy with work and farming and everything else thrown in the mix 🙃 but we want you safe ...😊
hello from the Netherlands . you HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY NOW . in the video you can also see that the pto rod was dancing back and forth when it came loose from the tedder and that at one point it got stuck under the lift arm that also brought you good luck because i think that by still being propelled that one could also have hit very easily and hit you . maybe even more than the tedder because you still drove away from it. but if you had slowed down the tedder would surely have hit you. my tip : attach a chain to the hitch pin with a closing clip, so you always have a closing clip with the pin, and you will not lose any closing clips anymore. and leave a Hitch pin with a closing clip attached to each tractor, so you never have to look for a pin and clip again because it is with the tractor. thanks for the video again . Sincerely, Hollandduck
Glad that you are ok and didn’t get hurt. It could have been worse. You should paint those hitch pins bright Orange so you can find them if they fall out. Stay safe out there!
Hello Evan glad you were not hurt. I wonder why your pto shaft did not pull apart, looks like it is destroyed also. This is a good lesson that many can learn from and I don't think that your to blame either. When I was a kid we never used them and I have seen the clips come out. The proper pin that is heavy works the best. See you then have a good day.
When the tedder flew up in the air it bound up the joint enough to blow up the u-joint and yoke, so it likely bent the pto shaft before it extended far enough to pull out
Go buy a sack of pins. Put pins everywhere. Make it to where you have to move pins out of the way to do anything. My dually truck's door panels have a bunch of pins ( and some channelocks).
My dad and I never Tedded our hay. We always just cut it down, let it dry, raked it once. Then either the next morning or the same night we would take the rake out again and roll it over. We always cut red clover hay that was frost seeded into winter wheat so we didn’t want to shatter it. It’s divine intervention to even be able to get a hay crop without it being rained on, and further yet to not be hurt in an accident like this.
Happy this video didnt have a different ending! Good to see the old Case though, always loved the "work with what you have" mentality of farming and homesteading.
Going back to my youth, born on a farm, the hay rake we called a " Swath Turner ". HORSE POWERED originally. But then that was in Lincolnshire, England.
Wow! The old Case is goin'! That was made the year I started seriously playing guitar! And I was concerned about that pin not having a bottom tie. Glad you stayed safe. The Lord was watching over you ...
We welded a bolt on top behind the pin slot with a piece of straight stock that pivots over the pin after connected and rests on another smaller piece of of stock on other side of pin and drilled a hole in that smaller stock that gets a circle pin fastener and that locks hitch pin in . John Deere baler similar design we did the same with our rakes.
Count your blessing! Thanks for the adventure today Evan. Stay safe and get a box of those pins. Hope you can fix the Tedder without too much trouble. Fred.
Farming is a very dangerous trade, all that machinery will rip you up and spit you out given the chance. Give it as much respect as you would to your grandma. Glad you are safe and nothing more than a scare was had with some minor damage, invest in some safety pins and clips for each machine with more to spare ASAP, I like Country View Acers, it would be much better if we could keep you in it, stay safe.
It's always the cheapest part that shuts down the powerful machines. Hitch pins are cheap compared to bent shafts. Thank you for posting please stay safe out there.
I bet the owner's manual for that tedder says something like: WARNING - Do Not Operate unless the hitch pin is secured to the tow bar with a spring cotter pin. Maybe you can find complete owner's manuals for old equipment like that online as PDF files.
Wow!!....glad you are OK and not much damage to the tedder. It's a good reminder for us all. We have all not put a clip in, used a bolt from the toolbox as a pin, etc.
Wow! Lucky man. Buy a handful of hitch pins, clips and small chain, you can figure it out from there. Hopefully we see a video about this in the future.
Glad you are not hurt! Not that I am superstitious but bad things often come in 3’s… the pond … now this… please be careful! I enjoy your videos and appreciate your honesty just be careful. Roger in Ga.
Well those of us who are watching this video Evan are definitely saying prayers for you and those of us who I’ve watched it a couple of times are thinking, what a miracle he won’t hurt. Every one of us in life have taken shortcuts what is the pressure needed about some little thing we didn’t wanna go into because we wanna hurry up and just get a job done and everyone of us have regretted taking a shortcut and we’ve all come very close to losing a life. We definitely do not repeat that mistake again and I think the Lord above there’s an angel tapping us on the shoulder and reminding us shortcut never EVER pay off!!! If your local tractor supply store can’t supply you with the pins you need I’m sure the Internet can get you a dozen of them so you never have to have this situation happen again! I’m not one for reading comments but I ran about 12 or 15 of them and it obviously happened to enough people enough times, You had better get a dozen pins!! Say a prayer gratitude to the Lord above tonight & keep Rebecca extra close by too💕💕🌸
This happened to me several times. I always did have the clip, but it was pushed out of the hitch pin by the hay. And to my luck I always use a two-part shaft, so it just slided apart, leaving no damage at all… That always was very embarassing 🤣 Glad that you didn't sustain any injuries.

Could have been a whole lot worse, time to pick up half a dozen clipe from Tractor Supply 😁
Angels were watching over you, Evan!
You weren't lucky you were blessed by the good Lord. Praise God
The important part is that you were not injured-- the equipment can be repaired. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you weren’t hurt. Farming is dangerous and we all make mistakes. Thanks for sharing this. Hopefully it can be a learning experience for everyone.
Evan farm work gets dangerous, you just got to watch out for the small things, great job, great videos
Evan I love the realness, you easily could have made an excuse to never posted this video. It takes a man with broad shoulders to post his mistakes and misfortunes. The UA-cam comments sections can be a harsh place when you post these type of videos. Keep up the good work!!!
Glad to see you were not hurt . Life can change in the blink of an eye. Glad you showed video so that others get that message to.
That hindsight stuff is amazing count your blessing and keep moving

Sorry. I laughed so hard when you got smacked by that limb! It is somehow "nice" seeing others do the same dumb things I do! 🤣 Great video
Always try to stay with the shortest pin that fits. Will prevent dragging and safety’s stay in better. Learned this over the years glad you’re safe
Wow! That was crazy! Thank God for protecting you!
to Close for comfort! Sometime complacency can jump up and bite you the backside! Glad you are okay! Next time you will NOT think "AH it will be Okay" It did jump pretty high! It looks as if it came within 2 feet of you! Rebecca may have a few choice words for you! Good Luck! Again I am so glad you were not hurt!

Love " That's how it all started " clip at the end!!🤣
I am just happy you are safe and no injuries, wow, that looked scary!
You are correct on the cause & you are blessed to have escaped any injuries. Thankful that you are walking away with no injuries and just a little bit wiser😉.
I hope you can get it to the field again as soon as possible with keeping the costs as low as possible and so good luck to you
Appreciate your honesty Evan. Glad you are safe.
wow, amazing how quick things can go hay-wire!
That was a little to close for comfort.👍

Providence was protecting you, Sir. So glad you weren't injured. Really enjoy your vblog.
God was with you, thank God he protected you. Please be safe.
Your lucky it didn't jump forward Evan, good to see you owning up to being normal that's what makes your posts so watchable for me
Glad nothing serious happened and you weren’t hurt. Cheap lesson, we all take things for granted only to find out our mistakes and sometimes they are quite costly. The Good Lord looked after you. Blessings
Wow that was scary. Glad you made it out unscathed.

You are one very lucky man. Safety first!
Glad you was not hurt, be careful.
Glad you didn't get hit by any flying parts.. You should try putting a little rattle can paint on some of the equipment.......
Evan, glad that you were not injured. You don't need any safety lessons.

All the different angles make for a great video 👍

Hey Evan! Love the videos! Broke my thumb on a 488 haybine Saturday. You’re living right. Good stuff man! Keep them coming!!
Man i hate it when a plan goes wrong. Glad you weren’t injured. That thing really launched as it contacted the ground.
Glad you weren’t injured …
WOW that was close!
The Lord was watching over you. I’m glad your safe.
Maybe weld a safety chain on it it! Thank God you did not get hit by anything! Safety lesson without injuries are the best kind!

God is good!!!
Glad your okay brother.
Order lots of hitch pins!!!!!!
So glad you were not injured. Close call
...famous last words: "No clip, but...." I glad they weren't your last.....
This happened to me several times. I always did have the clip, but it was pushed out of the hitch pin by the hay. And to my luck I always use a two-part shaft, so it just slided apart, leaving no damage at all… That always was very embarassing 🤣
Glad that you didn't sustain any injuries.
Thank God you didn't get hurt those aren't designed to be lifted like that
What a neat dash in the Case, love that tractor!
