    That’s beautiful soil and a wonderful growing medium but clearly requires a great deal of care and requires experienced hands to manage it. It reminds me of the loam we had where I grew up, West Yorkshire, England. We were on the edge of rough moorland, comprising permanently saturated ancient peat bogs with sandy soils at lower elevations. A very well executed recovery - very well done.

    The ripple in the soil when you tamped it down. 😳

    Good job. Muck is tough, once you spin a tire you're done. Back in the early 70s i got a WD 45 stuck. By the time we got it out we would step down a foot to get on the platform of the tractor.

    That's a really spongy spot. Every time you compacted the sand with the bucket, the ground waved like a water bed. The farmer needs to dig it out and mix sand with the muck to stabilize that spot in the field. Kinda looking like it has an oquifer almost at ground level. Or maybe it would be a great place for putting the pump for the watering system 🤔.

    @ 13:32, it perfectly illustrates the "muck" you spoke of at the start of the video. As you slammed the bucket down to compact the sand. You sent a wave thru the ground you could see. Showing that the ground itself is like standing on the top of jello. Break the surface of it and you sink. Great video, glad YT recommended it to me.

    You guys taking your time thinking things through is what separates you from the guys that are going to damaged equipment
    That was a very similar recovery as when my sister fell into a mud hole . She's big but I don't tease her about it because she's a good kisser

    I was so shocked when the ground shook like a bowl of Jello as you were packing it.

    You make your excavators move so gracefully.

    That was crazy how much the ground moved when you were trying to pack down the sand. You are correct about the muck. If you haven't farmed it, you have no idea how spongy it really is. Kinda like driving on a marshmallow. We used farm muck, and sometimes it was scary. You just never know where you might fall through. Great job. See you later.

    Great job guys you have it down pat on getting them out. That still amazes me how the ground rolls when you hit it with the bucket. Take care guys and stay safe 👍

    CNH owns the plant in St Nazianz Wisconsin that makes the Miller sprayers, formerly owned by the Miller family. I'll suggest it the next time I see any engineer out to lunch in town.

    Growing up, we farmed a place the neighbors called Devil's Hole. About 150 acres of muck. Subsequently, our house and yard was on a ridge called Poverty Hill, by the old timers in the area. Good ol muck.

    We added cables to each end of our mats and a hook on short cable mounted to back of bucket, your mats will last longer if you store them under water, we built small pond just for mats

    Why give the manufacturer the profit…. With your fabrication skills make some after market attachment points to install on the sprayers. And sell them !

    Why don't spreaders use wider tires to float over the ground better

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  5 місяців тому +1

      Because this time of the year they are spraying alot of crops that are up already so narrow tires do less damage and it's kinda of a chore to change them big wheels so they don't do it often
