Thanks for sharing, brings a bloke back down to earth. Dry May, fire danger when oxy cutting! Nothing new tho, I remember picking mandarins in the 90s' in the sunshine instead of water running down me armpits into me socks. Cheers Jack
Fantastic video. Love to see the big iron in Oz similar to our prairie states and Alberta/Saskatchewan equipment. Hindsight being 20/20 is easy to second guess the operator but, from firsthand knowledge, when things start going bad, they go bad quickly! Blessing nobody was hurt, iron can be fixed.
I remember one time when a brand new demo tractor was jack-knifed and rolled over on a slippery hill, when the farmer wanted to see 'what the new tractor could do'. What is the most affordable way to avoid the big seeder jack knifing ? Can the Bourgault surge brakes be retrofitted? Make an electronic map to geofence parts of the farm seeding area to not have the air cart filled up? The larger places often have more than one seeder, have a small & lighter seeder for hills?
That's one of the things about AG equipment I'll never understand. No brakes?? Why? They could have changed things but wagons, ag trailers carts and any equipment towed by a tractors hasn't brakes. When I was a kid I wondered why a farmer was driving so slow with his wagons in tow (2-3 of them) Dad said "they don't have brakes on the wagons". I wonder how many carts and wagons roll away every year? With electric brakes they should all have them and what really gets me is tractors only have rear brakes on most of them. Yikes! People don't understand what you have to deal with every day, and how many times you were scared (or nervous) just tilling soil or driving down a hill. Glad it didn't destoy anything and all went well in the end!

Just the sound of that pulling power is always amazing...

Great looking country Jack, glad you got it sorted
I've done a few hours on a Versatile 555 and a chisel plow up Burakin way.
Nice drill jack, I'm pulling a bourgault 3720 with 7950 cart while I'm watching this in Saskatchewan. Safe seeding!

And this is why you need trailer brakes! 😁
Saw a similar situation I think it was on Fast ags channel a few years ago
Tom sounds like the old boy could not figure out what was going at first.
Wow, that was certainly a bit of a pickle to get out of.
Mate how many acres you cropping?
Cheers
Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And when nothing can go wrong, it still goes wrong.
So, why do you not run duals or tripples?
That's some weight pushing On that hitch. But getting away so lightly is an upside.
Hi guys, there’s always something going on or going wrong in the farm. Anyway Australian technology always budget up as long as it works.
Classic!!!😂😂
U should have the cat on the front of the rig

Let air out of the tractor tire first. Takes a l;ot of pressure off.
Could have been much worse Jack - make haste slowly
Keep rejoicing in Christ mate !
Your tyre pressures are arse about face, it should be tighter in the back because of weight transfer when pulling.
You are wrong there. The steps you take to try and alleviate power hop always proceed through increased pressure in the front tyres.
@@georgecarmody9258 Do you pull from the front of the tractor?
