HOLD THE DAMN CAMERA STEADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn I remember them days! We had a 2wd 9500! Then upgraded to a 9570, then s660 it caught on fire got another 660 ran that for 3 years and now we got the 670 this year right before corn harvest! It's a sweet ass machine more than double the efficiency from the 9500 had to upgrade to Kenworths too the old 10 wheelers wouldn't keep up anymore when we switch to s series. You can cover some ground with a 30' MacDon! we're a seed farm so it helps to get it out of the field faster. This year we stuck the 660 during wheat but we pulled it out with a 8285R with no problem. We buried the 9570 so bad we had a cat Challenger and a 200hp new Holland hooked to it and STILL had to use a mini excavator to dig out the tires!

Typical day on the farm never a dull moment. I am amazed you didn’t tear that combine in two.

One trick we learned when the combine is stuck like that with one side down. Instead of pulling from behind or the front hook on to the rear axle and pull at almost 90 degrees sideways. The combine will spin on the stuck wheel and with the momentum pivot out of the hole. It worked for us. I pulled our Massey Ferguson 550 combine out with a Ford 5000. Combined are a pain to pull out because there’s not many places to pull from.

You are just keeping digging a hole with the combine wheel spinning that fast--slow it down to as slow as it will go & still be turning ----give it a chance to try to climb out so it will give the combine more ground clearance !!!!1

I used to work on a potato farm. Stuck was an everyday occurrence. Most of the time we could pull a truck or tractor out with another tractor. Even more fun is to pull the potato harvester and the truck that runs next to the harvester with tractors. So when they retired they had a John Deere 4 wheel drive that the neighbors bought at the auction , just so they would have something tp pull their 4 wheel drive tractor out of a muddy mess. Nothing like dried mud and diesel fuel on your hands!

Should've left it... so a few thousand years from now, they would dig it up and say "SEE! I told you! Aliens!".

That's a good example of the kind of year 2018 was - rain and mud. Very wet here in western PA.

To Reduce the likelyhood of getting bogged on tractors, trucks, cars, one can use chains on drive wheels. Forrestry shidders use special chains on drive wheels most of the time. Letting down the tyre pressure also helps in soft mud and sand provided the wheels are not water filled. Most farm tractors use water and alcohol mix inwheeled vehicle to increase weight, increase load bearing capacity and stability on hill country as it lowers the centre of gravity. They might have tried pulling that combine sideways from one of the axles, the steering wheels often build up mud in front of them and it make it harder to pull them out backwards.

Lots of naysayers here but not me. I know how easy it is to get into such sticky situations. Hope there was no bad damage. It sure was a muddy fall all over and there are still a lot of crops out in my area. Crew I work with stuck a combine on tracks as well as a couple trucks and the grain cart in one day.

If you get stuck....get another tractor out there...dont keep burying yourself deeper....saves so much time and headache. Way easier to get out if just stuck not buried. I have seen alot of combines get totalled because they were not pulled out correctly. Even seen one have the entire final drive ripped off with everything left buried in the hole. Ouch!!

WHAT IN THE WORLD EVER WERE YOU IN THAT LOCATION?? AMAZING!!

I remember back in the seventies, price of timber was in the toilet and there was work in the south so I went for it down to McGee Arkansas and I got a job in the lumber mill in Selma so I thought I was scotched but being a high gear northern boy I liked to killed the guys working the green chain and they let me go. My felling hurt I started walking home with my thumb out as I didn't have gas money or food or anything but a woodshed to live in. I see this guy in the field working on his machine and I really didn't even know what is was. Turns out if I just paid attention that I could see I was standing in a cotton field. Well he was working so I knelt down and seen what he was doing and copied him and I was faster than him cleaning the spindles that pulled the cotton off the plant. He was impressed with my work and let me keep on helping as it was hot outside. He offered me a coke as we were cleaning and I murmured I was looking for work, I was new to the area too. He said he picked that from the way I talked from his talk. So machine is clean and he asked me; Have you ever run one and I told him the truth that I didn't even know what it was till we worked on it so he showed me the controls. In about ten minutes flat, I impressed him with the way I ran it so he stopped me and said I will start you now if you want and I didn't ask no more, I was happy to have a job and a coke in my belly. I worked till dark and then he drove me and another man who tromped it down in the bin. Long story short he told me he would pick me up at daylight the next morning... it was overcast and I thought okay a break in this heat. He told me if I seen rain to get the hell out of the field. So needing a job bad, I was praying we would work. It was just overcast but no rain so we worked till about two in the afternoon and he was watching the sky hard. He reminded me if it rained and I told him ya. so off to work with this sandwich he promised: One slice of bread and only half of it had a smear of peanut butter and folded over with a eight ounce coke. I made it work and worked my heart out for him and then I saw a damn rain drop hit the glass! I'm thinking I need a job and only one rain drop, how bad can that be?? So I kept the machine going, this two row cotton picker... so a few minutes went by and I saw maybe three or four more on the glass but it looked good to me and I kept going. I just glanced in the mirror and looked behind me and that didn't look good as where I had been was mud in the rows but we had the cotton and not knowing about rain and dust in arkansas, I knew I was in trouble and picked the head up and turned out of the field to the side back to the cotton bail wagon where the other guy was an seen he was gone and so I stopped and got out and looked things over. I had tore them plants right out of the ground and the field had those ruts in it. DAmn it Jim to myself, this is what he is talking about and then he caught up to me about half drunk as he was drinking those miller beers and every round in the field I seen him with a fresh one... he was screaming at me your fired you dumb f*****! Ah shit! Then he told me that I only had a third of a day before with my cleaning time comes out and he don't pay for that and then we had only worked four hours that day and I knew I had been in that machine for six and a half. He tells me again he don't pay for cleaning but just picking and I was docked every day two hours clean up in the morning and at night so we had to work twelve to get eight.... I'm scratching my head and said so whats it come to and he says I pay good, I pay ten dollars a day for a full day and since I had only worked by his figures two hours the first day and then I only had a half day so far so he would owe me seven dollars but with the damage to the field he didn't figure he owed me s***.! Hmm... He had a six pack of beer left in his cooler out of a thirty pack. So I picked up the box of beer and give one to the black man tromping and he was nervous about taking the beer. I told him not to worry, I paid for it the way I figure and the dummy (good size) takes a swing at me. I caught his hand mid swing... handed the black man the beer to hold (told him to hold it and basically just dropped it and he did catch it, but my left hand had connected to that big boys chin and I heard the bone in his jaw break, ker snap. I took the box back from the black man and turn out of the field. Next thing I know that black man had caught up to me and was walking beside me laughing saying hes gonna be sleepin a willlel. I laughed too and we walked on to home which wasn't far for him but I had another eight to nine yet to go. I was just outside of twn when a guy was driving along slow beside me. he says headed to town? ya! jump in the back! ok and in I went. He said ain't you working for so an so and I told him he retired me. Then he wanted the whole story so riding along I told him through the window. Then it near took my head off.. he says.. I told my brother he was a cheap pri** and he just laughed. For a while I thought I would take up for his brother but that was the last of it. There is more but you have a book now

We've been in that same situation on our farm. But, every time you get stuck the situation is different so hard to give advise other than what we found to be one of the best equipment investments is a trackhoe. You can rent one too but they are one of the best tools for getting combines and our big four wheel drives that get stuck out.

At least you cleaned the ditch out.

Glad to meet you

Farmers motto , You Thresh Me -- I plow you back

I recommend high flotation tires or duals plus rear wheel drive assist. I never got stuck with that combination. Of course I did walk in front of the combine to see how wet it really was. If I sank or had water come up under my boots, I wasn’t going there!

"How.... The...... Hell...."

Every one stayed calm, that’s a good thing.

I love getting stuck equipment out, why? I don’t know just is. Not fun when your the one that gets it stuck but hey it’s life haha. Good work y’all, when I saw that dozer I kinda knew it wasn’t gonna be big enough to yank that harvester

You probably would have been a little better off positioning the dozer with the blade in the ground down as an anchor point to the side of the combine the tow truck should have had a snatch block so you could pull it uphill steeper out of the ditch as to not drag the combine down the ditch if you understand what I'm trying to say

that was painful watching this disaster

If you have a loader tractor use the bucket to pull stuff out you will be surprised how much you can pull by tilting bucket all the way down jabing it in the ground hooking the chain to top of bucket and reversing wail curling the bucket back up keeping it in contact with the ground ya you only move a few feet every bucket cycle but you sure can pull real good when the grounds slippery

build a house looks like yard art !

That header digging into the berm made that a lot harder. The initial tractor would have pulled it out if it werent for that. Nicely done though, the tow winch made all the difference.

It comes standard . If you have a 90's Chevy the blend door motor clicks😁

2018 was a wet year here too. stuck my 3300 but got it out with my 4020.

Been there. Done that!!

Should have done the rest of the field first and finish up along the creek last. Testing the ground stability along the way. Have done this on many of fields. Whenever to soft, just stay out. The grain is not worth the cost of machinery or waste of time......

Combine gets stuck, then the grain cart, then the grain truck. All trying to get something up before the next flooding rain comes

Why would the operator continue to spin his damn wheels for? He has to be ignorant. If you know your stuck especially in a combine DONT keep digging.

Biggest issue I see is when it got stuck and stopped moving, they should have stopped instead of digging a hole. Easier to pull out with something smaller when its not socked in.

It might be worth running over some 30 bushel beans to get that that out.

That poor header i can watch it bend as it gets pulled but thats life as a farmer you get stuck once in a while

Question: Would some kind of mat, say a section of chain-link or similar, work if slipped under the wheels while they're turning?

It’s also pretty amazing that the combine can pull that truck out.

Ouch!! Hate to see that!

Good job, you bended the header.

Good pictures of THE GROUND!!! do you ever look at the camera to see what your doing?!!

A tractor on the farm works wonders

Dozer time, bring out the chain =p lol God damnit

Landscape!

Welp, time for a dozer and chains. It's not hard, here we go, watch.

Helden der Arbeit

Fella on combine was holding it to it before tractor driver got chain tied. I’m just two mins in 😳😳

Go up, you fuuuuuuuuu, up, you aren't going to do it. Why am I typing along with this thing. I'm not really good at it but it's fun.

that must suck wen that happens get a combine stuck

They’re called tow trucks for a reason yet we all call them as a LAST resort.

Hydraulic oil probably got pretty hot eh and are you running a 22 foot head? Or 20

Been there! We pulled the head out of the way and removed the step to keep from causing more damage. Then dug down by hand in front of the tires and planked them, pulled it out forward. We never pulled from behind! Another farmer in our area tried pulling out backwards with a Big tractor and pulled his combine in two! Then shot himself in the head!

Did you get enough for pulling the wrecker out to pay what the wrecker charged for pulling the combine out?

Should have used an excavator to dig header out THEN hook a tractor to the back and pulled it out on an angle AWAY from the ditch

Hook on the right side of it and spin it around!!

Long,long day

Id be like oh you're stuck hmm i will pull you out if you wave the fee for pulling the combine

Why u thought that tonka toy dozer would do anything is funny

Tractor with the disk doesn’t have a diff lock?

Sprung feeder house ouch

should of just unhooked header right away

Hoss ima give you a thumbs up, but you wasn’t kinda shame to post this? Lol. I’m just giving you a hard time. You know everybody knows how it should’ve been done on their keyboards 😂👍👍

We have the same combine. Do you like it? We love it

I miss the farm life

Whose combine was that I live in Tipton county and didn't recognize anyone my dad works for coop he runs the tire shop so we know most of the farmers

Is the header still straight?

That combine is beat to shit. Should have fixed that gully a long time ago.

What a CIRCUS ! Chinese Fire Drill. Sorry this happened.

Use a combine to pull it out

Farm life......been there done that!!

How did you drive into a ditch ?

2 guys with a shovel can move more dirt than that hot wheels dozer

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?? IT WET AND MUD, GO AROUND IT, NOT WORTH THE LOSS OF TIME AND DAMAGE TO MACHINE.

Combines are a bitch to get out of the mid

Great content but please try to keep the camera steady!

👍👍👍👍😃😃

I nearly cried when you started plowing with the header and then again when you used the poor hydrostat in the combine to pull the truck, good lord get the tractor or dozer. Hydrostats are NOT made to pull loads, the tend to literally explode. And btw look into getting a wich for the back of the dozer, idk if you've seen how professional dozers pull out combines but the essentially bury the dozer and use the ground as an anchor to wich the combine out, works like a charm everytime

No backhoe?

Mizerně natočený.

air hydraulic jack from harbor freight might of been useful.

I think you needed Welker farms big bud!

That to tinker toy dozer looks about useless lol

My trackloader has more power than that little dozer

Your axle buried

Some days you just need something that can handle a sling load: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o-CDpK90p7aUgZ8.html

Soy beans are down anyways.

I love John Deere I am a John Deere fan I would love to work for the company

Clueless - the combine is obviously grounded..

Operater f/==:\÷$ get real would be fired fam or not

Anyone heard of a spade?

Sure wouldn’t be driving that dozer on highways in Texas, and this would be great to watch IF the damn camera wasn’t so shaken, maybe I can come back and watch it after my head quits spinning, good luck.👎🏻

You are going to have more in the tow bill and damage than the beans are worth

Work on your camera skills

jeezus, not very smart fellas.

why would you drive in the water way anyway???????????????????????
