Kind of down these last weeks with the worst harvest conditions my family has seen in many years in North Dakota. Watched tonight's news and heard estimates 60% of corn still left in the fields. Then this video popped up. The verse at the end reminded me that He is there to pick us up when we r down. Also reminded me, all of us have been in rough conditions this year and, I am guessing, most getting stuck in the mud. I sunk the grain cart an unprecedented 6 times during soybeans, cart combine and semi all stuck in one day, carts sliding backwards down frozen hills and cold weather repairs. But we get up again the next day and love what we do. God's blessings and peace to all of you out there in fields. Thanks for making me smile and knowing I am not alone, tractor tim!

God bless the American farmers. People don’t know what they are dealing with day in and day out. A lot of people really appreciate it including me. Thank you. And prayers for your father.

Love to see the work that brings us all food. We cannot appreciate farmers enough.

Thank you for telling us why you didnt show us the inside of the store. I would have felt the same way!! Your frankness is a breath of fresh air among so many youtubers only in it for the money and fame. Yall put out enjoyable content that is very informative.

Love watching the family farming videos as I’m sure you enjoy making them as well. Have the utmost respect for farmers and their families. They don’t hear it enough but we are truly thankful for their hard work and dedication to keep the USA fed.

Randall and I really appreciated Tim coming down to help us that day and any other time he comes as far as that goes. He had plenty of other things he could have been doing. The combine sliding into that wet hole was no big deal. It's not easy to get fired around here. We might even let him try it again next fall.

Even in that mess, you all seemed to have a positive attitude. I really enjoy the videos when you're at the farm. Tom, Randall and the guys are great people.

*When he talked about being thankful for being able to help, operate that kind of machinery and, viewing it as a special moment, I decided to subscribe. It had the kind of genuineness that seems to be lacking nowadays. You don't hear people talk like that anymore. This guy seems like a good soul.*

Ahhhhh - Stuck, been there many times. One time shelling corn got combine stuck, eventually had 3 big tractors stuck Started about 2 in morning, had to use neighbors tractor to get them all out, we borrowed nearly every chain & cable in the county to reach dry ground. That was 1979 I think when 6600 combine & 8600 tractors were the big green machines in our neck of the woods. Thanks for bringing back the great memories!!!

Good to see family working together. It’s been a rough year for all of you and all farmers, prayers for a continued safe harvest. Awesome video!!!

Ahhh memories. This will fondly be brought up at harvest time and family get togethers for years to come.

Funny you mention getting stuck, and we just bought a 92 acre farm that is on low land and I was trying out my plow for the first time with my newly acquired Massey Ferguson 165 and a 3 blade mould plow and came around and got stuck, A week later I thought I will take my F150 out and winch it out, made it out to the tractor but tried to reverse but bottomed out and had to get a neibor with a 4 wheel drive tractor to save my ass! he also not also pulled out the F150 to safety but went out and pulled my tractor and plow out back to my shop in Ontario Canada and I will never drive in a wet field again ! thankyou Jim Smith Ramara Ontario

Ah the joys of harvesting corn and turning mud. At least the corn is still standing and not all bent twisted flat.. Always great seeing you get some farm time in

Towards the beginning of the video, I can tell in your voice just how much farming means to you and how much you love your family!

Oh no. Muddy fields are never fun, especially when everything is getting stuck on level ground. Don't feel bad Tim. This is a life lesson here for ALL of us. Great field expediency and teamwork getting the combine unstuck. May want to go to the local John Deere dealership and get these guys some over the top Christmas presents.

Working with the family is always some of your best videos..... Prayers for your dad.

I like the way you all talked about how to get out and nobody got upset !! Nice to see !

Hi Tim and Christy all the joys of farming Tim its nice to see you and your brothers working so well together and i hope your father is ok

Diffbetween that and Corp is the leadership would have been focused on finding a person to blame rather than digging in and solving the problem. You folks blessed

I was sitting here wanting grab hold of that chain pull on it myself, glad the family got it all figured out and things turned out OK, please tell your Dad he's in our prayers, I like to listen to a man with his wisdom, he's a wonderful old guy, it's kinda scary thinking where the country is going to be when his generation is no more. God Bless us all.

Makes me appreciate farmers alot more. Until i played Farming Simulater i didnt realize how much there was to learn about farming. I did put bales of hay onto a truck when i was younger but wasnt my kinda work. Makes me realize how much some people take for granted the food we eat (i myself included). Just a big thank you to all the farmers out there for all your hard work. :)

Yeah, it was a good mud video, Tim. It has been tough just about everywhere for the grain farmers this year as it was last year in this area. Used to travel through West Salem going back and forth from home to the job site areas around Lawrenceville and Mt. Carmel and south toward the Wabash River near Keensburg and Grayville.

God bless the farmers for all they go thru to feed us and you too Tim for sharing it with us😊

I honestly believe that the farmers are the most wonderful people in the WORLD!!!!!! TY for providing for EVERYONE!!

So true, mud is fun when you’re a kid, not so much so when you’re older.

Great video Tim Great to see you back on the farm Glad to see harvest is going good i hope your dad is doing good have a nice day be safe.

With you and the combine incident I did almost the same thing in a field across the road at nursery I used to work at. I thought for sure I was gonna be fired but I wasn't I stayed there for 4 years. Well ... I managed to find the only abandoned well on that side of the land. I got the front wheel of my big rig stuck. LoL. I got a chuckle out of your comments Tim and I needed that laugh today. Thank you.

Hope your dad is doing better I enjoyed listen to him when he was on the combine in your other videos .thank you for the video wish you were able to get more with your family farm y’all our some good people I can see that in your videos thank you and God Bless

Tim. I'm with you on running farm equipment. That is one reason I watch this kind of videos. When I'm in the tractor, it takes me back to times of fond memories. Merry Christmas, to you and your family. God bless.

I don't know farming stuff, I come from a trucking background. I saw a tractor sitting idle in the background that could have been daisy chained on the front of the main puller. May have made the pull easier. You see the heavy hauls that have more than one front puller a lot of times. Glad you got it out in the end though 🙂

Tim you did a great job running the combine. Love the harvest videos. Keep them rolling in the future. Great video Tim.

Wow, what an adventure that was. I really enjoyed the video, and appreciate the hard work your family does to feed the world.

Enjoyed the video Tim. Headaches of farming. Thanks for taking the time to video. Y'all take care and God bless.

They are still trying to get corn out here in southern Michigan. It's been a struggle all year, they got the field next to my property done today approximately 80 acres. I think maybe the stalks were too damp the head jammed a few times. But it's get it while you can, it's supposed rain tomorrow. Good video Tim everybody gets stuck every now and again!

Tim, my family that farms in southeast Missouri has also been battling mud. I talked to my cousin yesterday. He said that he had finally gotten the last if the peanuts that he could get. He said that less than 10 acres were lost, but they were in areas that are just too much mud. He also said he should have been done a month or more ago and that was still late. It has been a rough year to year and half for wet ground in lots of our nation.

It's amazing how far technology has come...and I can only imagine where it's going in the future. I'm not that old, and I can still remember picking corn by hand in January for hogs.

Reminds me of hauling sugar beets from piling grounds. We locked in the power divider and with the automatic transmission trucks put the shifter in manual mode. But a couple of places the contractor set up shitty with slope back into the pile instead of away from the piles. But we had a rather large loader to yank us out. Fun times... working for a commodity hauler whose only care in the world was keeping the sugar refinery stocked and running..

I’ve been on a farm nearly my whole life but i have never ran a combine. We always chopped ours. Looks fun.

Hope your Dad is doing fine.. That’s was a monster combine to free up...just another day on the farm!

Even when things go wrong you can still make the best of the situation. There is no need to get mad, just get it out and go back to work. Great video.

Watching how you guys calmly thought about how to pull the combine out showed us youngsters you don't need cuss at every thing when it goes wrong.

Your family handled getting stuck in the mud really well. you guys seem to work well together

I love these episodes, I love all of them but the harvesting even more. Awesome. Don't feel bad Tim it happens to the best. A little mud a lot of fun!!!!

Always a good feeling if you can “help” someone save time huh.

That was awesome...never saw that side of farming. Farming is a lot harder than what I thought! Great team effort. God bless you guys and the harvest.

Long time viewer, fan and 1025r owner. I grew up and still live in Lawrence county IL. Keep the vids coming.

Tim, your new experience just promoted you to a real farmer! Congratulations!

What an adventure! Seems like people kept their sense of humor. Farming isn't easy!

I feel your pain. Been there done that, and sure is aggravating. “The ground just reached up and grabbed me and wouldn’t let go!” 😉 I needed someone one to point out the Scripture you ended with. Glad you retrieve it...and without damage. Thanks for sharing, hope they get done with harvest soon.

Thanks for farming guys.

Hope your Dad got a good report from the doctor. God Bless and Merry Christmas

You know I watch a few of farming videos like yours. This was a good one. I’ve been stuck with my pickup or car over the years. Once it took two days to get me out and got two other trucks stuck in the process. I see the tractors, carts and combines doing their thing. What really struck me on this video was when you get some men standing next to them how big these machines really are. I liked this video so I am going to subscribe. Thanks.

You might want to look into Yankum Kenetic recovery ropes to possibly make getting things unstuck a little easier and possible safer than using chains. I know it's never easy to look into and adopt new ways when you've always done things a certain way, but you never know until you take a look around what you may discover.

What a crazy year it’s been . Know what you mean Tim. Nice to run the combine now and then. Everyone gets stuck so don’t feel bad. If you never get stuck then your not doing anything.

Oh the joys of 2019. Didn't get stuck but did have issues with the crop drying down. Mother Nature needed a swift kick to the behind on the way out. Hoping next year is better for all of us.

Good video! This shows all aspects of farming. The good and the bad.

2019 was a harvest to remember & not for good reasons. We battled the mud first during harvest & then the frost trying to get tillage done. There is still some corn standing here in west central MN. This year I was really happy to be done with harvest that's for sure.

No worries it happens to everybody. My home town is Lawton, OK. I dont go there much except to put flowers out.

Prayers and best wishes for your Dad .

"I feel a little vibration. I don't know what it means" Tim, that's gas from cheeseburgers and diet Pepsi

Up in Alberta, a good portion of our crops got buried in snow. Last year Id say 2 thirds of people didnt get the crop off, and now this year about half didnt get the crop off. And the year before that the fields were to muddy to take any equipment in until late may iirc. Hoping 2020 is gonna be a lot kinder to our farmers, they need the break

That was cool. Thanks for sharing.

Once again, a great video ... wonderful family ... great job ...

Tim I'm not sure what the technical name of the strap is but you guys need to invest in that strap that flexes as you pull then the recoil yanks the combine out. You basically start pulling from directly behind the combine. The strap is a good 30 feet or so in length. As you pull at top speed eventually the strap pulls tight and the recoil is what yanks the combine out. Our neighbor farmer down the road introduced us to it. I thought I was going to go flying over the tractor when the strap pulled tight but it worked just as our neighbor said it would.

Nothing slides like a big Deere....but a great Combine nation...family friends hometown memories forgiveness as mud happens

Tim dont feel so bad one year i was driving 8400 john deere with grain cart and beside combine in corn and next thing i know i was dragging wheels of grain cart not moving in mud and mfwd turned on and jd combine 4wd on he was moving left and right to keep ontop of mud . Same year we got in diff field we pulled into field with grain truck tandam axel 600 bush corn got out ok pulled semi in loaded dump trailer bout got stuck we had other semi and dump behind it stuck loaded then we had 8650 on cart 8400 on grain drill for wheat good thing we had 4wd articulated unhook cart big chain pulled truck out at 11:30 pm we thought ok last load go home with truck then we got his 4wd pickup stuck and my truck about stuck covered in mud 3 of us late at night fun was suppossed to be fill last truck easy go home for night his dad take truck to his place to unload i follow and son take dads truck to his farm not so easy love your videos

I thought my town was small lynden Washington but from hearing stories from grandparents from where they came from nothing like where I was raised.

Tim, I'm just a little older than you but I remember picking corn with a 2 Row John Deere corn picker.

Psalm 133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

My family would all be in the nut house if we were still combining in december. Here in Saskatchewan we still have fields of canola standing around that wont be combined till spring. If people would stop driving through them hunting, and if we get snow, snowmobiling.

Another awesome vid !! I’ve been following your channel for awhile now and I appreciate all the valuable content you provide, even the comment section helps! keep up the strong work!!!

As a John Deere employee, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for buying our equipment.

I'll bet you guys are fun to work with. Here in Kansas we'd be tickled for muddy fields. Hope next year fairs better.

Great to see family helping each other out. I hope your dad is doing well. Why didn't you hook up the another tractor as well for additional pulling power ?

Seems like there is always something to go wrong. Glad your up and working again.

Hey Tim, in Illinois those red octogon signs at an intersection in town....they mean STOP!🛑 . Ha. Just kidding.

Love seeing a lot of green on the field.

been their my self a few times,after a few hours your back to work so far this year haven't been stuck just so slippery on hills,still have 450 ac to harvest now he have rain and its dec 9 in sw wisc

Sorry to see you guys get stuck... but glad you were able to get pulled out

We had a really wet fall in 86. My neighbor is was harvesting corn in may of 87.

Awesome video. One of the better ones. Thanks Larry

I was down in NJ and NY a few weeks back and couldn’t believe how much corn was still standing.

'93 might have been the year we dumped the combine on each end and only filled our gravity wagons 2/3 full to keep everything lighter in the mud. My dad pulled them to a driveway at the edge of the field then we swapped and I took it home to unload. I think they finally finished the last few acres in the middle of the night when the ground was a little frozen. That was a long harvest.

Tim you'd make money with and old army surplus winch on a trailer this fall for sure. It was really wet in central Minnesota also

YOUR FIRED!!! Lmao that was a good stuck!!! I think you did it so you could get some great shots and get out of the combine driving!!! Tim that’s smart!!! Lol

Well Tim, If I ever need to get something stuck in the mud, You will be my first call!

I can believe the camera in the store thing. I’ve found thats one of the hardest things for me to get over since I’ve started my channel. I Don’t mind talking in front of the camera but I can’t bring myself to walk into a place with it.

They are still bringing it in up here. We had erly Snow in November. It delaied the Beans. Farmers are hard it it know getting off the Corn. Then there was a Propane shortage, do to C. N. Strike. They are drying it down from 30% down to 15% before selling it. They are doing all they can just to make a $. God Bless.

I looked it up. It's called a "Kinetic Energy Rope". Get one rated for heavy machinery or 30k pounds. They work wonders for stuck combines!

No one ever got stuck while sitting on a couch doing nothing.

It's all fun and games til you bury the combine. Great video next year fixing the ruts. Enjoying the videos

Everyone seems very nice.

Good thing your dad was at the doctors he might have took a switch to you for sticking his combine hope he is ok thanks for the videos

Great video! I enjoyed watching the teamwork on getting her unstuck. I did wonder why you could use that second tractor that appeared?

I don't like seeing others from school either. They all thought they were better than me.

As someone that has a CDL A, I'd like to haul from farms to wherever.

You blew right thru that stop sign in town.I guess that's just what we do in our small towns.

A very interesting vid Tim nice eye opener to say the least lots of mud very late harvest

I watched most of my neighbors struggle in the fields with all the rain we had this fall and along with the early snow,

My grandfather was a corn farmer. He didn't have the luxury of the enclosed cabin on combines and tractors which caused him to have sinus problems for the rest of his life. He was always hocking and clearing his throat.
