    Winter Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday and Saturday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
    Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
    These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    Happened to me once. Driving a bee truck dragging a forklift trailer. Coming out of the beeyard down a country lane, we stopped unexpectedly and then watched the left trailer wheel pass the truck and meander down the lane until coming to a stop. At least we had the forklift to help in our repair. I checked the lug nuts religiously after that episode!

    You have my sympathies on the wheel coming off. I was cruising down the highway when I felt a wobble in the back of my truck and then saw a wheel go flying past me. At 60mph (within the speed limit). Fortunately, the truck has duals and only an outside wheel came off. But all I could think of as the loose wheel sailed down the highway was what an attorney friend said in a similar situation---"ABSOLUTE LIABILITY!" . No one was hurt and I found the loose wheel in an orchard. Scary when it happens and still scary over 10 years later.
    I torque them twice now and torque them again after a few miles. And I do not trust the shops to torque them right.
    However, I do not think incorrect torque settings caused your problem The studs sheared off.

And both times the way I knew I had lost them was they passed me up as I was driving down the road. That was weird to see a toilet on a trailer pass me as I drove down the road. :-) Cheers...

    Travis was NOT a happy camper, but at least by the time he recorded his own video, he was better composed. Stranger things have happened on the way to an auction, of course. At least everyone was safe, including Rocket. Thank goodness for friends and family! The missing wheel was just icing on the crappy day's cake. Never ask "What could possibly go wrong?" because you probably don't want to know the answer, especially on a day like that one.
