- The Parker 1348 grain cart is stuck in the mud. We've been pulling it with the 8360rt and it's worked well until I over filled it with the combine! It's been a good harvest but mud continues to challenge us.

Love watching these videos of modern farming! We had the open cabs (1950’s-60’s) and love all this NEW MODERN equipment! Progress is so good. Thanks for the videos Zach. You have a follower.
I'm impressed, that is using your head👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the replies. I watch several farming channels, and I love how you guys explain the way you do things and why. Love your videos, thank you.
Farming is definitely not just about just running the big boy toys, no doubt about that. As entertaining as it is to watch something get pulled out of the mud, I couldn’t agree more that emptying the grain cart was the right way to go, I’d be afraid of something breaking too and definitely worth sacrificing a bushel or two. Ingenious way to do it, that’s for sure. Thanks for taking the time to pull the camera out. I’m guessing others you are with may frown on taking the time to do that.
N Oakland for sure. That's why I always appear to be alone!
I love this comment lol
Hey buddy thanks for sharing life experiences man you guys handled that like a boss and did what you had to do can't wait to see your next video buddy keep it safe and have a good weekend bro
Gotta love it! The rain was awesome this fall. Nice solution. That was something I didn't u could do with a combine!
That is the most original idea I have ever seen in farming!!! Well done.
Love the vids man keep up the awesome work.👍👍
The only corn to go through the combine twice !!
On the Massey combines around here they have a door you can open on the rear top and you can run it down through the screens. I have seen guys do that to clean the grain.
That was amazing never would have thought that was even possible.
Don't you just love all that mud. I spent yesterday digging our last bean field & it took me 50% longer to do it because I could not cross a single ditch & did nothing but turn all day. The joys of farming. Thanks for the video.
thedonleroy ish
Well done!!
Most people just don’t understand what Farmers have to deal with in order to get their crops planted, put all their faith in Mother Nature for a bountiful crop and then fight to get the crops off the fields. I know it’s never ending, wish I could trade you some dry weather here on the west coast for some of your wet weather, we;d both be happy. Keep up the great work and videos.
loadpin amen, thanks for watching!
Been there my friend!! Stay safe, Weather has turned in western ohio. Cold and wet. we will be in the same conditions soon
Glad you got the cart out . Pretty interesting on the on load
And that's how ya do it!
Wow awesome video man thanks for sharing
Wow, what a pain in the butt! Growing up, our home farm was always wet. If we did not get to our corn early enough, it would sit until the usual January thaw. Many times we would get rain and water would be standing in the fields. We would have to wait until a hard freeze to combine on top of the ice, but usually we would get snow and that kept it from freezing solid. Thus, the January thaw would melt the snow and permit the water & mud underneath to freeze hard. The trials, tribulations and joys of farming!
One year we had a wet field we took 25 acres in april! What a waste! Alot of it fell down we got stuck twice gravity wagon was too far away but we got it! The only good part was we didn't dry it!
The definition of: Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
That was us last year just with no grain cart... which we could have used real bad last year. See a lot of carts with tracks now!
We have a tracks on our cart it’s great in the mud Ohio
Northern farmer and I have
My Neighbour has one to.
Know the feeling... Good luck and best to you. Regards...
Fastestinthewest I
You have to give your Dad props on that one, we had the same thing happen to us, we took a smaller grain cart and emptied it little by little, took forever!
good thinking there thanks for showing
stanley jones thanks for watching!
I would have never thought of that. I guess the yield monitor showed 1 gigamillion bushels per acres at that spot?
TwoHappyChildrenFarm haha, I turned the recording off because I didn't want our seed guy to be bragging!
Good idea he probably would have done alot of bragging with numbers like that lol
That was a good idea i liked it
It's funny reading the comments, people don't realize how heavy that cart is loaded. Pulling on it with more horse power is just gonna break something, you did the right thing but I would have beged or barrowed another wagon or cart. Nothing got broken! Good day
good thinking to unload the cart. I've stuck my 3300 and was able to off load 30 bushels onto my pickup truck after I ran the risk of driving the truck out to the combine. mud always adds to the adventure. thanks for the video.
Great video thanks have a good night be safe.
2fast65 thank you!
Had to do the same thing. Except we run two grain carts... one with tracks thank God. So we just emptied the stuck cart into the track cart and gave it hell lol
We had to do the same thing several years ago. Parked an 8420 w a kinze 1,000 bushel grain cart on the edge of a field loade w corn. A big storm came through that night an it sunk down deep. I'm 6'3" and could look over in the grain cart from the ground. We made a make shift trough to feed the corn to the throats since it was so low. Still took the combine (9750) and an 8650 to pull it out empty.
I'm enjoying your channel.
Your a rock solid smart guy.
Thank God your NO millennial.
Keep your youngest safe.
First. Love your videos. Hope you can finish the harvest without anymore problems!
Cael thanks for watching!
Thanks for the heart. I have been subscribed and getting notifications for a while now! I appreciate all the work farmers do, as my will become a 3rd or 4th generation farmer later on in life.
Best farmer I know
Hey I learnt something there nice 👍 job
That's an example of how farmers can think out of the box to get things done.
Jason Norris once in a while!
Haha we always gotta think like that. Makes it more fun!
That was a good idea
Now that's something u don't see everyday...lol..
oilburner389 thunder not something I do every day, either!
That worked slick I'd say.
Tracks for the cart!! Yes
Yeah, get some filed tile! Lol where we are you almost have to have some good tile in your field!
I’m located in southwest Nebraska, that was really innovative, I’m thinking you also closed the adjustable snapper plates on the corn head. The last time my grain cart was stuck we dumped the whole load on the ground and then went back later and scooped it up with the wheel loader.
I’m envious of your equipment, a predatory bank took over my parents bank accounts after my father passed away and I spent $200,000.00 on attorneys throwing them out, so for now I’m not upgrading any equipment. It’s called elderly financial abuse.
Great videos, keep up the good work.
a bushel of corn is equal to 56 lbs. (shelled), and 35 lbs. on the ear
Great job getting it out. I guess in hindsight you could have placed a tarp on the ground under the pick up to catch the corn.
What a great machine park, looking with wide open eyes from germany :-)
Very creative. I'm sure the combine is to high for the cart to dump into. Putting the corn threw the head was the only way. You guys do a great job. I farm in upstate NY pretty wet our selves.
We did that once! Buried our brent 1084 so we just pulled the combine up. If you didnt know any better youd think we were crazy! 😂
we've had to do that too a couple years ago. But our grain cart driver was a little inexperienced and opened it up all the way and plugged the combine or broke a chain or somthing.
Love the vids
james stewart thank you!
We’ve all been there, we use to use an 8420 but now we use are 9420 with duals.
That was a mess but it was a shame also loosing several bushels of corn and glad to see it back out of that mess.
roger wilson we will be able to shovel most of it up
Damn, must be a heap heavier than it looks! I wouldnt have expected a big ass crawler like the jd to get stuck at all!
Maybe time to put soucy tracks on the chaser bin.
there is a first time for everything
That sure was interesting lol!
smcox1991 for all of us!
Have you given any thought to going "All tracks" on the farm equipment? With so much rain in your area it would seem logical.
I didn't know you could run a combine like that.
Cool vid
Farmers fix! 💪👍
Alex the Dutch Dairyfarmer and break!
Little late but this was uploaded on my birthday
That was us at my farm in the uk I had a jd tractor harvester and grain cart
This is probably one of them times you wish you had a second smaller cart or a gravity wagon!
What a mess...but what an ingenious solution. Leave it to the farmer to problem solve with the resources they have available.
Farmered it!
Looks like you need a grain cart with soft tracks on it to match everything else you have 😁
John Lewis maybe some day!
I bought an old killbros cart just for that type of situation. Woks as a spare in case one of the other carts breakdown too
I've used a Shop-Vac in a generator before
Why not mount some chrome eye anchors on combine face in front of cab area like this transfer?
Carry a tarp with rope ties to climbing clips on the tarp to force all gain into you Combine pickup?
Carry tarp either on the gain carrier or combine. Map out other transfer scenarios you deal with.
So Almost nothing hits the ground here when need to swap out gain.. Still a leaner here.
This is where those 360 yield brushes woulda been nice
That's why we have a Brent 757 gravity wagon
Now thats using your knoggin,LOL
Clever move , Zach. So I guess you consulted with the Captain?
57fitter absolutely, I always do!
I don't have any corn to speak of (only 3A ) so no muddin' for me yet. It's still 20 % or so. Gonna have to stand a little longer before the picker comes on the scene. Glad you didn't pull that loaded cart and screw something up. Good luck !
I thought they would try to pour the corn straight into the hopper, but I guess this is a better idea
And someone had to say it. Red or yellow would be nice. Ok maybe one of those wheel digger things with the black tubing Layed as you go.
That’s an interesting way to unload a stuck grain cart.
Chase Howard I thought so too
Might been smart to put a tarp on ground before you poured on head. But smart thinking.
Next time, maybe you could put a tarp under the head to collect the grain that falls out.
If that happens again maybe you guys could toss out a tarp to catch some of the dropped corn and shovel it all back up
Is that cart and combine sitting on a field south of Howard lake right now?
No homo but I lovd hearing you say grain cart
I got to admit I've never seen that trick before. But I've seen a lot of farm videos where they've been stuck far worse than you have. I hate mud!!!
Should of put a tarp underneath it to be able to catch the corn
What radio system do y’all use
Never would have thought to do it that way I hate feeding the deer
That is one way to increase your bu/ac. as well,assuming monitor was running. Lol
Kevin Farmer now I can give the neighbors the new yield when they ask
you never know you might find one for a good price
Let me come work for free on that beautiful farm
As my Italian friend says " If you're going to be successful, you got to USE DA HEAD" !!! LOL !! Good job Dude !! Couple bushel of corn or a bunch of busted up and STUCK equipment ... Hmmmm, let me think ... LOL !!!
Was Jim the one that got the cart stuck? Unique way to get the cart empty
Did anyone think to put a heavy duty tarp down to rescue the grain later? Future enhancement!
Now this is something I can't do with FS17... Lol
You cant even get stuck in FS, which is kinda worse.
@no name -- you can with a mod; it's quite a lot of fun (as opposed to reality). Just search for TH-cam videos with "farming simulator mud" to see it in all its glory.
@@piranha5211 I will.
Olá como vai? Sou produtor soja leite e milho do Brasil sou fã dos seus vídeos
Do you think that you can upgrade to a grain cart with tracks
I thought maybe we would get to see the minni running an auger transferring from a 300 bushel wagon.
Midwest Allis Fan that would have been a COLD 5 mile drive!
Once you realized you were spilling so much on the ground, couldn't you have laid down a tarp to save the grain?
No other tractors around 2 pull ya out?
Just a random idea from a non farmer......you should carry some tarps in your trucks or tractors so when something like this happens you can lay them down and the spilled corn or beans can be swept up easily and put back into the hopper.
Keith Brettell yeah thats what we do sometimes, other times we dont think about it until after lol
Or, scoop it off the ground. Why leave 100 bu when you can scoop up 95 or more from the ground?
How much ground is rented and how much is family owned?
You need a Brent with equalizers
For an emergency like this, would it have been an idea to go grab some sheet metal to place down in there to catch and funnel back some of the spillage into the headers auger?
Edit, of even some tarps on the ground.
Sometimes that would be our strategy but in this case 20 bushels is only worth $60 so it wasn't worth our time. We were paying 3 guys to sit there and wait and the machines cost over $100/hour each to run so time is expensive!
I was filling the grain cart today so full that they couldn’t move the cart with out spilling
How much is saposed to be in the hopper?
