Coming from a guy that has been injured by equipment, I gotta say, you just got a million dollar safety lesson for free!! you got the message and you aint even missing any fingers!!!
He's far too careless. His middle name is, Shoulda. One of these days it will catch up with him. A Clevis pin should be chained to the long pin as a reminder TO USE IT. My 11 year old has more sense than Evan.
@@wileycoyotesr8623 mistakes happen all the time on a farm. Most people just choose to edit to out. You need to remember that evan has no farming experience this is only the second or maybe third year of balding hay for him . I think he learned his lesson. Most people now a days that have a farm where raised on it .they had their father to give them information on what not to do as they grew up . He didn't.
@@wileycoyotesr8623 It's amazing he hasnt gotten seriously hurt, gotten the animals/property injured or majorly damaged, or both. Seems like a good dude and accidents do happen but his aversion to reading instructions and lack of common sense is going to catch up some day.
@@teenagefarmer If you needed a hitch pin to attach a device, knew it should have a clevis pin to secure it, would you use that hitch pin? Your answer will determine your common sense.
There is so much that can go wrong in farming, I've done the same thing you did and not clipped the pin. That is a lesson for all of us, and I am so glad you didn't get hurt, thank goodness for that. Well good luck on the repair, stay safe and have a great remainder of the week.
Evan I love the realness, you easily could have made an excuse to never posted this video. It takes a man with broad shoulders to post his mistakes and misfortunes. The TH-cam comments sections can be a harsh place when you post these type of videos. Keep up the good work!!!
Evan, just glad your okay. We all screw up thank the Lord you didn't get hurt. I don't have to tell you the statistics of farmers getting hurt. Be safe !
Brother you are not alone! Did my tedder last year! Bent the pto shaft, $350.00, bent input shaft to gear box... $150.00, replaced input shaft bearing because I had it apart and couldn’t tell if it was damaged.. $50.00... I now use safety clips!!!
to Close for comfort! Sometime complacency can jump up and bite you the backside! Glad you are okay! Next time you will NOT think "AH it will be Okay" It did jump pretty high! It looks as if it came within 2 feet of you! Rebecca may have a few choice words for you! Good Luck! Again I am so glad you were not hurt!
Thumbs up only because you learned from today's experience.. yikees Evan ! So glad you didn't get hurt buddy ! Take that little extra time to make sure you're safe ok ? Thank you ! We all love y'all want to continue watching wonderful you and your precious Rebekah ! Life gets so busy with work and farming and everything else thrown in the mix 🙃 but we want you safe ...😊
Close call. I'm no farmer but a regular viewer of your show. Funny that I did think to myself, strange that you did not put a pin in, something "you always do". Glad you were not hurt.
Wow! The old Case is goin'! That was made the year I started seriously playing guitar! And I was concerned about that pin not having a bottom tie. Glad you stayed safe. The Lord was watching over you ...
You are defiantly Blessed Evan, God was with you. Like I tell my friends who Farm and Ranch we have a vary hazardous job and can happen unexpectedly like it happened to you. Keep safe friend your wife want you around for a long time. We do Hay and cattle and Injury's happen Fast.
Glad nothing serious happened and you weren’t hurt. Cheap lesson, we all take things for granted only to find out our mistakes and sometimes they are quite costly. The Good Lord looked after you. Blessings
You are correct on the cause & you are blessed to have escaped any injuries. Thankful that you are walking away with no injuries and just a little bit wiser😉.
Evan, agreed! I noticed as soon as you hooked up, but thought maybe you just didn't film the pin clip. But when it flew, I knew! Lol I think you got lucky! Oh well, another lesson learned. Hope the repair cost is low. God Bless!
Go buy a sack of pins. Put pins everywhere. Make it to where you have to move pins out of the way to do anything. My dually truck's door panels have a bunch of pins ( and some channelocks).
Glad that you are ok and didn’t get hurt. It could have been worse. You should paint those hitch pins bright Orange so you can find them if they fall out. Stay safe out there!
Hi Evan lucky for you no injuries,unfortunate for the Implement as the yoke & sure looks to me the PTO shaft is bent. Every day we learn something, keep these great videos comming.
Happy this video didnt have a different ending! Good to see the old Case though, always loved the "work with what you have" mentality of farming and homesteading.
As a guy who grew up on the ji case tractors just cut the power steering belt an go with Arm 💪 Strong steering case never had good power steering in that Era they were better than nothing!!
Very thanful you were not injured, Evan.. I would have thought you might have several differnt siz pins available. I am surprised...You have 3 extra bearings but no other clip pins you could have used...Expensive lesson learned...And a learning lesson for all. You could have skipped that part but you are very upfront and show everything... One of the main readsons I really like your videos... Looking forward to the repairs....
Just wanted to let you know when I Ted a Haydn I start on the inside of the hayfield and work your way out. That way you are not running over what you have already tedded i. Glad you are ok. Just a suggestion. Great video’s
We welded a bolt on top behind the pin slot with a piece of straight stock that pivots over the pin after connected and rests on another smaller piece of of stock on other side of pin and drilled a hole in that smaller stock that gets a circle pin fastener and that locks hitch pin in . John Deere baler similar design we did the same with our rakes.
You probably won’t ever do this but if you should ever plow with your D17 and an original Allis snap coupler mounted plow it’s vitally important the snap bell hook under the tractor is in good shape and hooked in well into the snap coupler ring on the front of the plow. It has happened where that comes unhooked and buried itself in the ground which causes the plow to swing up and forward and land on top of the tractor driver.
Going back to my youth, born on a farm, the hay rake we called a " Swath Turner ". HORSE POWERED originally. But then that was in Lincolnshire, England.
The drone shot around the 7:31 mark shows the pin flying out right after you went over a bumpy patch. Looks like the tedder's up and down motion caused the pin to climb up and out. Now we know why it is called a safety clip.
hello from the Netherlands . you HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY NOW . in the video you can also see that the pto rod was dancing back and forth when it came loose from the tedder and that at one point it got stuck under the lift arm that also brought you good luck because i think that by still being propelled that one could also have hit very easily and hit you . maybe even more than the tedder because you still drove away from it. but if you had slowed down the tedder would surely have hit you. my tip : attach a chain to the hitch pin with a closing clip, so you always have a closing clip with the pin, and you will not lose any closing clips anymore. and leave a Hitch pin with a closing clip attached to each tractor, so you never have to look for a pin and clip again because it is with the tractor. thanks for the video again . Sincerely, Hollandduck
It's always the cheapest part that shuts down the powerful machines. Hitch pins are cheap compared to bent shafts. Thank you for posting please stay safe out there.
Wow!!....glad you are OK and not much damage to the tedder. It's a good reminder for us all. We have all not put a clip in, used a bolt from the toolbox as a pin, etc.
A high school friends dad was actually killed by a tedder/rake combo. Fell off the back of the tractor and a tine punctured his femoral. Definitely got lucky
Wow! Lucky man. Buy a handful of hitch pins, clips and small chain, you can figure it out from there. Hopefully we see a video about this in the future.
Hello Evan glad you were not hurt. I wonder why your pto shaft did not pull apart, looks like it is destroyed also. This is a good lesson that many can learn from and I don't think that your to blame either. When I was a kid we never used them and I have seen the clips come out. The proper pin that is heavy works the best. See you then have a good day.
When the tedder flew up in the air it bound up the joint enough to blow up the u-joint and yoke, so it likely bent the pto shaft before it extended far enough to pull out
Count your blessing! Thanks for the adventure today Evan. Stay safe and get a box of those pins. Hope you can fix the Tedder without too much trouble. Fred.
My dad and I never Tedded our hay. We always just cut it down, let it dry, raked it once. Then either the next morning or the same night we would take the rake out again and roll it over. We always cut red clover hay that was frost seeded into winter wheat so we didn’t want to shatter it. It’s divine intervention to even be able to get a hay crop without it being rained on, and further yet to not be hurt in an accident like this.
Farming is a very dangerous trade, all that machinery will rip you up and spit you out given the chance. Give it as much respect as you would to your grandma. Glad you are safe and nothing more than a scare was had with some minor damage, invest in some safety pins and clips for each machine with more to spare ASAP, I like Country View Acers, it would be much better if we could keep you in it, stay safe.
Evan I was hollering, I guess I wasn’t quite loud enough. I saw the hitch pin go in, didn’t see the clip go in, and I began talking to you. I would’ve never thought it would do that though. It did a jump up jump down flip yourself around. Yeah I think I would’ve called of the day too.
This happened to me several times. I always did have the clip, but it was pushed out of the hitch pin by the hay. And to my luck I always use a two-part shaft, so it just slided apart, leaving no damage at all… That always was very embarassing 🤣 Glad that you didn't sustain any injuries.
ive had hitch pins come out several times with mowers, looks like the shaft may be bent!! as you said also you may want to check out fixing an Inverted pin bolted to the cross bar hitch you dont have to worry about hay dragging safety pins out or drill a hitch pin out and put a 1/4 in bolt as a safety pin
There are a lot more things to pull, than can pull. So we always kept a pin on eavh tractor and on the baler, chopper, other equipment that could pull wagons behind when in use. Tractor pins go in the tractor toolbox when not in use. Chopper, baler, ... pins go i n thier drawbars when not in use. Clip goes in the pin except while putting pin in or taking it out. Some pins have attaches spring safeties instead of clips.
Glad to see you weren't hurt. My late uncle would always have a tin tool box attached to his old Fergie tractor with spare implement pins and plenty of R spring clips of different sizes; along with a bullpen hammer to assist removing rusted pins
Oh man I laughed! Thanks for real life true disaster! So much like my errors with machinery as a kid- my poor dad! I can list at least 5 such incidents. I learned from each one, but I learned the hard way. Example: Ever fill a diesel tractor with gasoline? Dad's winter project to fix it! Oh boy! I loved this video. It affirms our efforts and our lack of foresight. So honest and so real!
I'm jealous to see that at your place you still have green pastures with decent gras growth. Over here in Europe everything is brown and yellow , again.... Dryed out, heat waves,no rain...... Greetings from Belgium, i like your blog !👍
Glad you are not hurt! Not that I am superstitious but bad things often come in 3’s… the pond … now this… please be careful! I enjoy your videos and appreciate your honesty just be careful. Roger in Ga.
JudithB Wow!!! That was scary!!! Hope you can fix it without too much trouble! I started painting all pins bright red or orange so they can be found easier. The pin for my yard trailer for the lawn mower gets lost every now and then. We are finally getting some rain down here, so I am mowing. Lots of pruning to do too, along with working firewood. I decided to move the quail and rabbits into the barn for the winter, and buy new cages instead of rebuilding the old wooden hutches. Not much cost differences in the long run. LOL! Hope its a long fall with so much to do!!!
No One Ever Said Farming Was Safe Or Easy...Sh** Happens ...Especially When Ya Get in a Hurry & We Never Have Time To Do It Right But We Always Have Time To Do It Twice !
That was a close one for sure, Evan. Even a piece of wire or a bent nail will work if one doesn't have a pin clip. Not ideal, but better than nothing.. I remember on the farm , most of our "hitch pins" were just old bolts, but our equipment was pull behind converted horse drawn stuff so the center of gravity was really low. I guess that's how we got away with it. Glad you weren't injured. Hopefully the repairs will be simple.
Whhhoooeeee you are one lucky man, everything was going great until then……. Lesson learned for all of us thanx for sharing the goods and the not so goods, everyone learns and am so glad you weren’t injured take care Evan you deserve all the good luck that comes your way you both work do hard developing your property!, Great video and content outstanding coverage of the accident.
Glad you didn’t get hit. A few of my hitch pins have a small chain on the handle holding a spring pin that way I never lose it and always remember to put it in.
accidents happen. i aint gonna give you shit about it, we used to pull hay wagons all the time without clips on the pin. but, that was also in a time when the pins were long amd heavy on the top, gravity kept them down. we did clip the bailers and rakes. happy your ok.

Could have been a whole lot worse, time to pick up half a dozen clipe from Tractor Supply 😁
Sorry. I laughed so hard when you got smacked by that limb! It is somehow "nice" seeing others do the same dumb things I do! 🤣 Great video
Glad you weren't hurt. Thanks for your transparency
The important part is that you were not injured-- the equipment can be repaired. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Evan, that was scary! Glad you walked away from it. Tomorrow is another day.
I really hope you put a first aid kit in your tractors.
God blessed you Evan !!! Thank You Jesus!!!!! Eddy
Evan farm work gets dangerous, you just got to watch out for the small things, great job, great videos
Always try to stay with the shortest pin that fits. Will prevent dragging and safety’s stay in better. Learned this over the years glad you’re safe
Love " That's how it all started " clip at the end!!🤣
