Changing gears in Old Red sounds like you're finding it in the toolbox and putting it in the gearbox.

Thanks for the entertainment Mike! To bad we always need to learn things the hard way

I used to instruct light and heavy military equipment recovery. They make soft shackles and kenetic ropes rated to handle your equipment. They are expensive, but nothing is worth more than preventing severe injury to you or your family. Yankum Ropes makes kits for heavy ag equipment. Please take a look at them. I pray you do.

That light comparison: WOW. The Sprayer stuck story not less expressive!

Jesus, what a crazy Story with your brothers 😮 Please stay safe out there !

It warms my heart and probably your wife's heart knowing that a Case got the job done 😂

"Maybe not a bad as the Leafs!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow, that story is serious. Thank you for the video.

yet another great back-story experience Mike and team!

All that shifting in old red made my arm tired just hearing it haha

The seeder needs a little platform and ramp on the back to carry a quad on for such times!

it looks like daytime when the Fendt has its lights on 😎

Boy, I'll bet you and your brothers were popular with your Dad after reporting all that damage to him about the sprayers even though I'm sure he was thankful that no one was seriously hurt.. Also, seeing that you missed the actual pull out of the drill, why didn't you just drive it back in a second time just so that you could show us how well it went, lol ?

Somehow I don’t think this will be the last time you end up stuck like this again. 😂

I'm studying for and stressing out over a language fluency exam, so I go to YT for a break and start watching this video. Yeah, I'll take my stress over dealing with a stuck 1167 haha. Puts things in perspective ! Cheers Mike

So we put tracts on the corn planter to keep it a float maybe you need tracks on the borgout

Glad you got it out. Keep safe my friend.

Story time with Mike. Love it

I prefer the big ropes before straps...get that elasticity working for you.

Best thing to use for safety pulling out big equipment is a couple old car tires. Run the strap through the tires when hooking up so they are suspended in the air. When it breaks they absorb a lot of energy and are heavy enough to direct the chain/strap down.

Seen my Dad do this all the time, what he eventually built was a lift on a wheel for the implement hitch. Then he pulled on the tractor which would pull it out and the implement could remain in the stuck hole. Once the tractor was out then they would team together straps onto the implement which should be out of the ground prior to getting the tractor out. Often this went pretty smooth, we had a lot of spots which looked dry but where loose underneath.

Yes the Oilers! Maaaaybeee next year! Getting stuck sucks for you I can only imagine but it makes for a great video!!

Great story at the end to remind everyone the DANGER of ropes/chains breaking. My neighbor wasn't so lucky and DIED in his tractor cab. Chain broke hooked to a rope, through back window, hit him between the shoulders and out the front window. A wreaker was called in to winch the tractor and equipment out. Take time to think what can possibly go wrong. Your life.

Hello Mike. Please all of you be careful. Especially you have now a child. All of you can be really happy that nobody hurts to much. You are using so much big machines with a lot of power and heavy weights.

Tiger led lights are good replacement lights

You need to get yankum ropes. Look them up he might sponsor you. Best kinetic rope I’ve seen.

MIKE!! We feel robbed, go get it stuck again so we can properly watch you getting it out.

Be Careful out there Mike and Lee. Thanks for sharing the sprayer and Magnum Story. Strap technology has come al long way. I think most farmers have a similar story and a respect for the forces involved when trying to get unstuck. Thanks a bunch for the videos.

I been known to go were I shouldn't...and I wouldn't have gone there lol!!

Hope you finished that seeding......😂

The professor of stuck has done it again .

I've ran grain cart looking through my cellphone camera before cause it double my halogen visibility😂👌

The rare moments when we get to see "Swamp guy" Mike. 😅

Pretty awesome how still manage to make videos while trying to pull something out. 👍

Yup...I hooked a chain to a rope one time to get more distance....never again...

Great video Mike and Lee

As a Canucks fan I love the Oilers dig lol

Good times Mike!, Good times.

Well if there ever was a place where a yankum rope would be tested 😂

I would definitely be investing in yankum ropes

Had a chain come flying thru the back glass years ago. We were pulling out a stuck truck. Was tight and all and just snapped at the hook on the other truck. Ended up missing me by couple inches is all. Took out the front glass too and dented the back of the cab too.

I see a lot of vids of people pulling shit out super sketchy, standing right next to cables and straps under load etc etc.....unfortunately a lot of people dont understand what can happen when shit fails under tension, and when they do see it fail, many dont get to tell the story, glad you can are able to tell people your experience you went through

That whas a scary 😨 story Mike, that could go terribly wrong there in that field. Man I won't even think of it. But you guys survived it so that is good, end well.😉

Good job guys

Well, I bet you do that again!

Mike, sounds like you need to invest in a yankum rope!

So give Yankum rope a call and try to get them to sponsor you to get multiple largest ropes.

When I was younger & caulky I tried to cultivate a little close to a slough and the tractor sunk to China. Got two other tractors stuck in the rescue attempt and finally had to bring in a winch truck from the oil patch. Didn’t do that again as pocket book took a beating.

That was a great video Mike

Mike you took the wrong red one to pull you should have taken the old Massey to pull😂😂

It’s crazy what can happen. We got a tractor stuck with a 12 row planter. Got 60 ton winch truck. Decided to use a chain on the first 10’. Chain broke and to this day we have never found that chain.

That 1167 is a fortress on the field.

What the hell you doin in the cattails 😂😂😂

Great story

Well done lads didn't think she would come out

Damn your brothers and you got lucky with those chain and straps! I got a severe concussion and broken eye orbital bone undoing an insanely tight cam over chain binder with a cheater pipe, my grandfather said it took me right of my feet and I was out cold for a good 10 minutes, lol

When I did something dumb like that my Dad would say, what happened, did you run out of gas? Lol. Testing the limits is guy thing.

Mike yankum rope is what you need!!!

Testing the durability of the topsoil I see.

you think the 9370s lights are bad !! We had a 1990 case ih 7120 that only half the orignal lights work but I still rake hay with it in the dark.!!

Red Power for the win i bet the 9380 is a strong puller with the tires over the tracks

My first thought was Mike needs a Yankum rope. I dont know if they make them big enough to pull all that weight though, but it's worth a looksee

Mike that's 2 stucks minimum. One for each of you. 😂 or 2 beatings a piece with the snowshovel 😂

Mike lights for the Case don't f... around with those pissed on candles it's got go for a 52inch curved light bar on each side of the cab you only need 4 ove them .they will see you from the space station them.

hahah ohhh mike 😆

If it helps a poor Oilers fan a little, the us national team lost to the German one in the world's final. 🤣 PS: even ropes fly through tractor windows

Morning

😊

We all live and learn - hopefully 🤔

Might be you should double the stuck pot, one for thinking you could make it and another for all the down time, not sure if you have access to bales or not, if so it helps a great deal by putting them in the mud trenches to help lift things out, then go get some Yankim ropes

we have used chains but we doble or triple them for that reason so they dont do what you said happened

Sounds like Terry is a bit of a whimp 😂

There was a guy who stopped to help someone else in a Pickup. They tied a chain to his Receiver with the Ball. The Receiver pin snapped came back and nailed the guy right in the head. Killed him instantly. Never use chains, and don’t tie onto your Class III Receiver. Use Soft Shackles if you can and something like a Yankum Rope.

So disappointed. I thought you were going to use Ernie.... 😁😅😂🤣

Yankum ropes are supposed to be the cats meow. My buddy had a tow hook on a chevy sna and go through the back window of his truck. Chain hit him in the head. Never trust those "tow hooks".

Yes, you need better LED lights on that tractor.

Round 2 this time with some speed 😃

I'm disappointed your video didn't include the action portion of your final pull-out. Good action of the old red video. Wow! I just must ask, does this incident count at 3 stucks since you had to pull first the Fendt-seeder combo---failed,,,, Next, the Fendt alone--success,,,,,then the seeder,,,success---three separate hooks?

👋😊

Ropes and straps can be just as bad as chain. The problem isn't the hard metal bits, the problem is the elastic energy contained in the line when under strain. The longer the line, the more energy(for a given material and breaking stress). Nylon ropes are very dangerous because nylon is very elastic and usually breaks at about 2 times its original length, but for the same reason nylon is good at absorbing shock loads. UHMWPE(amsteel, dyneema), vectran, and technora have become popular in maritime for lower stretch applications while being lighter than steel cable for crew handling reasons. The underlying idea of wrapping a jacket around a line to dampen the energy release is sound, but you need at least two placed at thirds( to dampen each half) and a parka is only heavy enough for a little 3/16 chain. You need way more damping mass for the strain those tractors can generate. Dampening a broken chain would be a good place for a smallish nylon rope, run it next to the chain and tie them together every couple feet loose around the rope but through a link of the chain. The rope is normally slightly slack to carry no load, but if the chain breaks the rope catches it. By smallish I would estimate a bit more than 1/2 of the chain size, so 5/16 or 3/8 inch nylon rope along a 1/2" chain (Size ratio not officially tested or fully calculated)

At about 4:20, was that Ernie setting there? Haven't seen him for a long time.

Your chain story brings back bad memories.. Not sure if I told you this story or if it was on welkers tube.. My uncle was killed in a very similar incident.. First summer I didn't work on the farm.. We had this crazy stupid tow rope from the rigs.. each end was looped with a chain thru the loops. He always taught me, to help minimize the risk ( I was only 17 when this happened), always wrap under & over the axle, so if the hook on the chain broke, it should technically hit the ground. Well, it was a hot day.. the A/C in the international wasn't working properly. He was breaking a field that had been hay for who knows how long. It was also beside a bay of the lake.. So, typical farmer, 1 more pass next to the water & it'll be ok.. Nope.. got stuck.. Walked back to the house (this happened in july of 87 & he wasn't a big farmer by any means.. like 350 acres). He came back with the old case.. I believe late 60s, maybe early 70's.. no cab. He hooked up.. put the 2 oldest boys in the international.. nice hydraulic clutch that was easy for them to push.. gave them instructions on what to do.. Did a yank, chain broke on the international side... he knew it was coming cause from the injuries he suffered, it seems he brought his arm up to try to protect his head.. broke his arm, shattered his skull... pretty much instantaneously unconscious/brain dead. He slumped over the steering wheel, tractor going in circles.. the boys shut down the international, chased the case, managed to jump on & shut it down.. 1 of them ran back to the house to tell their mom.. They were 6/8 or 7/9 yrs old... He was brought in to town, then immediately sent to Edmonton.. We drove in from Brooks into what is known as Black friday, the edmonton tornado.. Sorry for the long story... towing safety is a big thing.. I now work in Ft Hills Oilsands mine & drive haul trucks.. These things get stuck on a regular basis.. We used to use "mankillers" - braided cables.. now we use the nylon tow straps.. much safer.. Be safe guys... you obviously learned by experience also..

Le fent 1670 et sortir et le semoirs et la cuve 😮😂😊

Those lights are so bad you need to strike a match to make sure they’re turned on. 🤪

I wonder if a Yankum rope would have helped?

You can tell that it's stuck because the way that it is.

You need to get a yankum kinetic rope they will change your life the also make soft skakles and take all the steel out of the equation

Funny that a fendt didn't have enough *ahem* momentum...

Well Mike, will you get enough mustard off that little hill to pay your $20. For the stuck jar?😢😅

Can you wing in the planter to get it out easier? 2:05 you can get the seed tanks after it dries out a little... 3:01

Time for some of thehose yankum ropes there mike

Would it help if the cart had hydraulic drive assist? Does that exist?

I hate stucks exactly because of the story at the end. People got killed in my area with chain or wrong size clevis

I’ve never had the courage to drive equipment into cat tails

Ypu know mike you think about if that coner post in the sprayer wouldn't have been where it was you be 6 feet under kind of horrible to think about ill definitely think about that next time i want to use to pull something out those things are deadly man

Mike...Get some Yankums

you need to get some yakum ropes man.

pull it back into the hole and reshoot, we need the drama

That chain story is scary. Makes sense why they teach you not to tow with chains and/or be FAR away when there are chains or steel ropes under load

Man I Want a Job ✌️🤔
