- Big Problem! The semi trailer tipped over in a sinkhole after we unhooked the truck. We had no luck getting it back upright ourselves so we had to bring in payloader. All is well. No major damage and no one was hurt. #FarmOn #BetweenTheRows

The trailer just wanted to plant itself so it can grow up to be an even bigger spray trailer
😂True
The 579 peterbilt looks great
All other YTubers have such nice spray trailers she didn't want to fell left out.
😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Fact if it’s a 53ft trailer I can’t be bigger than that
"Straight water, straight water, straight water." Lol I feel you, whenever I'm dumping water I want a huge sign that says "it's just straight water" so people don't think I'm dumping chems.
It's so funny because chemical is EXPENSIVE. I don't know a farmer in the world who would happily just dump out product on the ground for fun.
water is chems
You never know when the Feds are watching, they just love those fat punitive fees if you aren't doing just exactly as specified.
Asmr Head
Well technically for farming, a sprayer is just dumping chemicals slowly onto the ground in more of a controlled fashion and not as concentrated
Yep. Even dumping well water. You need to do it out of sight. Never no who is watching because when the pesticide police show up they usually bring a fine with them.
"Doesn't even seem to try"
Meanwhile the front tires are flat
haha
I thought the same thing..lol
Filled with water, water is about 8 pounds per gallon do the math...no your john deere loader will not lift it....and yes when the tires are squishy...its heavy...
did anyone else here think "hey, Call Ron Pratt at Midwest Trucking".
Da in Jupiter
Literally just came form one of Ron's vids. love both of these guys
Oh man, i just thought: "That looks like a job for Ron and his Rotator." XD
Dang boy
The moment the map releases for FS2019 I am paving the whole yard.
I ain’t touching it cause mud doesn’t exist in FS
Why, you cant sink like that in fs
10000000000% the same
This could also happen on asphalt....
@Wikkitt Klown only problem I have on the Welker map is that helpers do some jank shit
“Now it’s hailing. I sure hope that trailer doesn’t get dented” 😂😂😂
When the grain cart was chillin otside
It hailed so hard that it drove a trailer into the ground .
The whole time I was thinking where is Ron Pratt when you need him?
Yeah for real!!🤣
Yeah i was like: "A Kingdom for a Rotator." too. XD
500 miles south?
Ron Pratt would have that out although he wouldn't use his Rotator, the yard would be too much of a bog to bring that heavy of a tow truck in! :D
@@DarkVoidIII most likely though one of the smaller rigs should be able to help easily
Hello my friend, I run heavy equipment large cranes, forklift in so on. nothing would work if you didn’t have the RPMs cranked up. Next time you go to pick something up with the forklift you got to have the RPMs up so the hydraulics will work. As always stay thirsty my friend
Yeah I think he assumes it would do that automatically, but that's not how any of the tractors I've driven have done it, my tractor has like three times the lifting power if you rev it up
Your Dad's facial expression when you get him to look at the flat tire was priceless.
Looks like the tractor has a tire low in air too when you tried to lift the trailer.
@@jimarndt8158 I assumed it had sunk in to the wet ground but that's certainly possible
@@jimarndt8158 I thought it was the weight of the trailer squashing the tyres, 'cause both front looked that way
that made me LOL. His head snappin around like "oh god what now?" haha
Zach kicks the tire, "are you OK" Hey" are you OK"
Is "It's Straight Water" a magic chant to repel alphabet agencies?
The sheer look on your dad's face and that little slouch he did when he saw the sprayer tire was golden 😂😂😂
Everyone has been there more than once, it's definitely a mood 😂
I bet including the pups in your videos increases the thumbs up by a factor of 10. love seeing those two happy dogs.
When that has happened in the past, we have to get wood cribbing out and bottle jack it out 4in at a time, you learn to use old disk blades under your jacks to prevent this. It's a hard lesson to learn when you undo it 4in at a time.
Zach wouldn't be the millennial farmer if he did it that way 😂
@@iam106racing2 ha, I love it. Want a better piece of entertainment ... next time you go to an implement auction pick out a couple of them and watch them pay nearly list for equipment that exceeds their needs and their wallets. It's very funny when they start high-fiving their posse...until you remember that foolish business choices and no common sense are destroying family farms.
I really like the german flag on the side of the trailer. Best wishes from Germany.
As soon as I seen the thumbnail the first thing popped into my mind was “dammit Jim“.
🤣🤣
I absolutely love the look on your dad's face when he spots the flat sprayer tire; he didn't need to say a word, yet I think we all knew what he was thinking.
that dog has no self preservation Instinct
chases lightning and sleeps under trailers that are being lifted
Once had a brand new 53' aluminum trailer loadedneith about 49500 lbs of steel go through our parking lot because a driver decided to drop it right by the "NO TRAILER PARKING sign.
The dolly legs didnt drop straight down through the asphalt, it over-flexed a beam and broke a bunch of welds, creating a big shiny piece of scrap aluminum.
I sincerely hope you guys take a LOT of care with those chemicals. I know they are not as bad as they used to be. My dad used a lot of organophosphates and DDT going back to the 60s, and he died of non hodgkin's lymphoma when he was just 72. He wore a proper mask when mixing and filling the sprayer, but tractors did not have cabs back then, and the air would have been thick when applying it. He wouldn't let us, his five sons, close to the chemicals, bless his heart. So please take every precaution, and think of yourselves and your families.
Didge is like "I MUST BE UNDER THIS TRAILER"
@@TFT-bp8zk You did ask Didge if he would go under to hook a chain around the king pin. He went under to size up the situation.
@@TFT-bp8zk changed, thanks
I love how Zack is so calm. Me in the same situation would be screaming in panic.
I wasn't super calm when I first saw it tipping and ran to back the grain cart out!
@@MillennialFarmer we'll need a recreation. You know, "pics or it didn't happen," but since this is TH-cam we need video.
Zack , it’s nice to have friends you can call when you are in a bind . Your dad is always so cool and calm !
His dad has probably seen it and done it all lol. Calm comes from experience
Nate is just a cool guy period! Always steady 👍🏻
We had 2 trailers sink into soft ground just like that in quick succession. The second one was being filled with bags of cleaned lentils. After that, trailers getting loaded *always* had a tractor underneath. Problem solved.
I mean you could just keep a semi under to solve the problem as well. They aren't made to be loaded while on the jack stands.
Wow! It even made the tires on the payloader squat. Glad that didn't go bad to worse. God Bless.
7:40 That face was the best! LOL
"Are ya ok? You alright?"
My great great uncle always said that when you see steam coming of the ground, the crops will grow like mad!, heat and moisture
Kinda disappointed we didn’t get a “Hey, you okay” remark 😂
I have had trailers move back a little when backing under to hook up so learned that planks placed parallel with the trailer under the pads reduce the chance the trailer is pushed off the planks. Not completely relevant here but an old trucker’s tip for another time and place. Thanks for the video. Another case of improvisation on the fly, the definition of a farmer.
Zach, I suggest you get some railroad ties (seals) to place under your landing gear(s) if you are going to use the trailers that way. This works well and saves running the gear all the way up and down. I've landed fully loaded chemical tankers that way without issue. Thanks.
Never a dull moment on a farm. Always interesting to see how these guys can use those excavation equipment to solve a problem.
Happened to me once, trailer full of pork on a hillside. Tow truck lifted the low corner while I backed under. Expensive but effective...
Thanks to you and your family for all your efforts, greatly appreciated!
Never get tired of your life and our adventures. Appreciate your efforts at bringing us along
I had a trailer do that once as soon as I unhooked from it. Have also seen trailers like that in paved parking lots in truck stops in the central valley of California.
Well done gentleman and good to have friends! Proud of ya’ll
Love your videos. Big "thank you" for going to all the trouble of showing people what farming is like for you. Many people think farming is just "throwing seeds in the ground". It's actually a lot more like the space program with all of the complexity in the equipment and the multitude of decisions that have to be made in real time in conditions that are always changing. Fantastic job by you and yours giving us a window into this world. Love it!
This video is a perfect example how farming isn’t easy like some ignorant folks would like to think. Sorry this had to happen to you and luckily the damage seemed to be minimal but this is a good example how dangerous farming is. I love your videos and look forward to the next one coming out. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us city slickers 🇺🇸
Hey Zach, I’ve learned with forks on a tractor it’s easier to move to forks over if they are angled down/streight up and down. I hope that helps and makes it easier for you and your dad
probbly need the kubota m6 - 141 it has the best lifting compasity
Yeah I also do that, it makes a surprising big difference. Some grease would also do wonders. I am sure he has something perfect for that, from the WD-40 Company. ;-)
Yep that's why they make trailer jack stands. I've seen em tip when someone forgets and drives a forklift in with a heavy pallet.
I feel the pain of a tipped trailer. Our grain trailer a few years ago when we just got it did the same thing
I've had that happen with a fully loaded flatbed trailer. I put oak stakes under the landing gear after that.
Also wide eyed stare “we’re gonna need a bigger tractor.”
Cigar in mouth “I love it when a plan comes together!”

Breckinridge de duetch! Grab the skid loader!! No wait.... it’s raining. Burger from the bar . No
Worries.
A 25 years ago my neighbor unhooked a FULL annhydrous semi trailer in the spring, blocked. ROLLED RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS F150, CAB&BOX. TOTALLED OUT.
Then came the fun to unload the full tanker and tip up. No product list thankfully.
Choices as trailer is about to roll over. Move the J&M grain cart or capture the action on your GoPro. Farmer or TH-camr? You chose wisely.
Hey Zach: Pretty calm under pressure. Nice Work! From now on you are “COOL HAND ZACH”. At least the sprayer tire didn’t go flat in the middle of a corn field. Good Planning! Captain Al from Tampa😎
It was only flat on the bottom
Our fork lift attachment hooked up that nice once upon a time... then we started using the loader for picking rock. Now you gotta beat the lock latch into submission when switching buckets.
I worked at a lumber yard loading trucks. One morning we came in and one side of the landing gear had gone through the asphalt. There was plywood and 2x4s all over the lot.
Add a piece of channel that reaches all the way across the trailer to the feet of the landing gear and it will solve this problem. We always did this to our chip trailers we had to drop in the woods. BTW the channel needs to be wide enough for the feet to set inside of. Good luck!!
#forpetessakebeck keep it outta the dirt!🤣 Miller Industry's makes a frame chain for trailers and other things that heavy wreckers use to pick them up. Check it out they may come in handy Zach.
😎👍 〽️ (Ron Pratt has a few YT videos of this same situation)
Good to see another Ron Pratt fan here!!
@@chiefwahoo1196 yes most definitely a big fan of his! AG and Rotator channels keep me busy watching YT👍
We were thinking, "What would Ron do?"
Had that happen more than once when loading apple bins on flatbeds. We kept several 6 x 6 around that would span both feet to support the trailer when the truck was not available.
Had that happen at work several times and had to start installing concrete pads in the landing gear zones
In all honesty, I could watch "dige" chase thunderstorms for an hour. That is funny as all heck.
His videos are some of the best out there, I'm constantly impressed.
Finally some good millennial content :)))
It's always good though
Wow what a mess. Great video and God bless you all.
Love watching dogs on a farm, they have for sure the best possible dog life!
9:18 if you curl down the loader a bit there's somewhere a kind of sweet spot where the forks are relatively loose ... less friction, less hassle ;-)
Time to buy a big front end loader, you know, just in case.
We had that happen a couple years ago, had to switch trucks on a trailer full of seed wheat, luckily we could still wedge the truck under to hook it up.
Sounds were sync’ed with us here at Lake Tahoe as your talking about Thunder, it’s Thundering here as well... glad you were able to rise to the challenge 🙃
I had that happen when I dollied down a loaded trailer with a load of I beams . Ended up calling heavy tow . I told them that the trailer sank and them said another one. Took him longer to drive down here than to lift it back up. 150 dollars later (1999 prices) he said have a great day. 6 inches of gravel wont support a loaded trailer with 50 thousand pounds of steel. I am sure there was a full 30 thousand on the nose. I never dollied down another one after that. I left the back at the yard with a poured dolly pad
My goal was to stay off the 6: O'clock news.
With a little help from Above I was successful.
Retired.
Disk blades will shatter under the weight of a loaded trailer don't ask me how I know. Large suitcase weights work good. Landing gear can also collapse when loaded. Best bet is leave the tractor under loaded trailer.
Ground penetrating radar to map frost heave/potential collapses around the yard.
Some mn co that wants exposure & eyeballs. "always something" glad no structure/bodily/plumbing issues.
Y'all keep safe
I enjoy watching your videos. You give so much detail to every subject. I guess you need a lot of patience to be a farmer. A true profession. Not just a job.
Tip for moving the forks manually:
Place the forks about knee high from the ground, then use your knee to push at the bottom part of the fork while your hand is pushing the top part. If you push at the same time you slide the fork pretty much straight making it slide a lot easier.
Or get some WD 40 products
@@banjobenson9348 fork will still lock up if not pushed straight.
Can't blame Jim!!!! Oops commented before I watched the entire video..
I loved your dads face when you told him about the flat tires that was pretty cool and the new dog off that could be for the off the husk “keep it between the rows”
Last time I pulled one out it took a petty bone fork lift, a boom truck for pulling wells, and a skid steer. Trailer was full of corn. They are heavy for sure.
You need to have someone take a real good look at that landing gear before you try to load that trailer again. The landing gear can be weaken,cracked or compromised now!
They’re fine. Happens all the time.
assassinlexx Minnesota puts them 8 feet underground, I highly doubt they broke it
@@Vaneps0 Yep, not a biggie.
Don't drop a loaded trailers unless you put it on concrete. Much safer
STAY SAFE. C-YA
@@bodycams2477 Incsse you didnt watch the video, it was unloaded when they dropped it for 2 weeks. They loaded it and it sunk
You should bring back the 8RX back for harvest. 1 8RX=1 Saved jim🤣
The 8rx was a demo i wish he could buy it
Thanks for showing that even when things are really tough on a day like that, you've still got a sense of humor about it all. A real shame you didn't just throw the Moline bucket under it and lift it out!
I am glad you recovered the trailer and did not have more damage. Glad you didn’t lose chemicals and have cleanup issues. Might want to reinforce a parking spot like a concrete pad or something.
Ground that soft leads me thinking you drive a Quadtrack. Because only a Quadtrack does no compaction.
Just kidding, nice video 😅
There is no way I would have let the loader leave without putting a semi tractor under the trailer, the tractor would have been unhooked from the other trailer and set up to back right under the trailer. Moving the trailer a couple feet and calling it good. The landing gear may look okay but anytime in the future trusting the landing gear to hold up the trailer with a load may not be in your best interest. Good luck stay safe
I was definitely expecting more expert trucker comments here
We used to weld a piece of 8" or 10" channel iron across the bottom connecting both landing gears together with about 6" over hang on both sides to keep them from sinking like that, worked very well.
Every day I am hustling!!!! GOD BLESS our family farm's!!!!!
Ditch seems like a bit suisidal.... Bless from Sweden. love thees vids!
Tv 5150 clearly English isn’t their first language, give them a break
@@ThingyGoos yeah we should and i'm sure johan would appriciate it and even though english isn't my first language i do try to properly write english so does johan and i'm sure just by reading more into english and learning it more i could write a little better
Who’s the knuckle head who put the water tanks in the front of the trailer anyway?????Zack
it probably filled to the brim anyway, except small space at the easy access point at the end. But, good point good point, but also you anyway can't have it all tail heavy as a truck should have some weight on its axels too or no traction and truck were unhooked for problem fixing thus all sorts of factors created another problem out of what's typically wasn't a problem at all.
So I guess it just typical farm problem creation solving sht, which no one can really predict but just face and solve and I think it what makes it interesting - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, never-ending battle with nature and human-made stuff and man himself.
Had a flatbed load of steel bar do that oh it's solid there yeah both sides went in and kingpin was on the ground thank God for big cat wheel loaders
Fun on the farm - remember things come in set of 3's. Trailer / flat tire and?? Take care be safe - hope the family and you are doing fine. 'Spin'
Send us that rain in Houston
Been a hot af 2 weeks ~60% humidity and over 102° every day
Thats a pretty good dam reason for you to STAY HOME!!! Htown be hurtin with the rona!!
@@davidanalyst671 with all the assholes protesting for weeks im not surprised
Moronic leadership etc etc.
@@davidanalyst671 oh hogwash.. overzealous local politicians are trying to flex muscles
Amen, was going to sat the same thing. It's cooler today in heck than in Houston..
@@ddylla85 DUDE!!! This would have all been over 3 months ago if we all wore masks!! pay attention!!
I hope that landing gear didn’t puncture that water line!
Nah the lines are way deeper than that. The end of the hydrant will be 6 feet underground and the line running probably closer to 8' down.
@@tech99070 Wow, Minnesota code requires 40 inches deep for frost line in the southern part of the state and 60 inches in the North? Found on some random google page but that sounds about right.
Had that happen with fully loaded wood chip trailers a few times. I had the privilege to hand shovel them out so we could get the wheel loader under the front to lift the front up. Good times.
We have our tanks in a van trailer too, actually works pretty well. We went with a 3" hose instead and rigged up a hoist that lifts the hose slightly and swings into the back of the trailer. It's actually way more easy to use than a liquid tanker.
I watched this a few days back and I just wanted to say:
I was able to say to my wife, "See, this stuff happens to other people too."
Also, I knew from experience that you wouldn't be able to lift the truck back up with a loader.. I had to use a pneumatic hydraulic jack and blocks to get mine back up.
But anyways, thanks for the video. I feel like if I was making videos it would be all stuff like this, with more crying and swearing.
The whole way through the video all I could think was sweet babyJesus another flat tire
That was way cooler than my electrical cord sparks today!! Glad everyone and everything is OK
Get some good railroad ties and put them under the feet. She was listing 20 degrees to port. Glad your safe, and least you had some forks! Smart buy!
That left front tyre on the tractor it is taking quite some weight or it is very short of air pressure.
Likely low psi most farm tires run a softer tire for better displacement on soft soil
It's a low psi tire with a LOT of weight on it! It doesn't look that way unless there's a trailer on top of it 🤣
@@MillennialFarmer Good thing it is just on the bottom, the top is still fine ;)
My relationship with my dad sounds like it's the same with yours. "Yeah I guess he's just going to go where he wants to"
Had that happen to a loaded hopper. One of our drivers unhooked it with 1100 bu of corn on it. Used bottle jacks and cribbing blocks to get it out of the ground.
I've seen at some auction sales trailer dollies made from scrap trailer tractors you can use a farm tractor to move trailers around the yard or fields. Or in your case support the trailer.
Your dad has some serious "old man strength" by the looks of his arms. He's seen some stuff in his day.
TRAILERS WITHOUT A TRACTOR UNDER THEM SHOULD ALWAYS BE SITTING ON A SOLID CONCRETE PAD..
@RON SALES BR549 : Or at least not over top of a recently dug ditch where underground utilities were installed.
With water tanks in the front of the trailer
EVERYTHING about this bothers me. I watched them drain the water ADJACENT to the trailer.....
I wonder if local codes prevent more paved surfaces for drainage?
It tells a real story about the type of events that I have seen on our farms over the years. The need to find a solution to a problem (by trial and error), using what is on hand or needing to contact help from others. I note there are more dislikes than likes; however, thank you for showing how things really are. I hope non-farm viewer will have an appreciation and respect for the skills shown here in problem solving. Farm viewer already know these skills are a part of farming.
I had a similar incident with log trailers . The leg didn’t sink in to the soil but one of the landing legs collapsed so she was on a similar angle as your trailer mate . Good vid 👍
Pretty sure that computer setting is flow not pressure
Next time you bring it in for service, ask how to put it in “CASE” mode. Haha. ATB!
Yup, Red would have had no issues.
Performance towing and recovery out of Watertown, SD. He can get you out of any jam whether it is stuck equipment or tipped trailers. Best in the business
Oh my, not sure what to respond to. Just glad nobody was harmed. Could have been worse! Stay safe!
