I want to be the first of 500 to say you shouldn't use a chain like that lol!
Yep...lol....and the tracks! Lots of good feedback for sure Mike!

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I like the name Lester for the truck...because it is "less-ter than perfect".
And about your crossing...our neighbor was having the same problem so he had my brother build a 'ford' (not sure if that's the correct spelling but its pronounced the same) in the creek. It has worked out very well. You could always use the culverts somewhere else on the farm.
And by the way I love to watch your videos..keep them coming!! Lots of love to you and Mrs Stoney Ridge!
Subscribed. It's all good. Nothing ever goes as planned. Perseverance. Amazing you can deal with the work and the inevitable setbacks and still film it all. You are a busy man.
Concur! One of my co-workers spent 3 or 4 days in the hospital after shock loading a logging chain 'til it broke and the end whip-lashed back around his head, nearly taking his eye out.
Josh, I really enjoy your channel. Please keep them coming! On March 12th of this year, I got my own dozer stuck in the mud. I was trying to pull it out forwards with an excavator by reaching over the back side of the dozer blade and dragging it out forwards, towards me. I've done this before and never had a problem. As I was pulling the dozer towards me, a wear/cutting edge on the bottom of the dozer blade snapped off, flew through the air, and hit me right between the eyes. The safety glasses I was wearing saved my life, but I still have more than two dozen facial fractures, and I am facing a few surgeries after the virus goes away and the hospitals in my area open back up. Why am I telling you this? I have more than 25,000 hours in the seat of various heavy iron. I know better. I made a mistake that almost killed me and I cringed when I watched that chain go tight in your video. There are much better ways to retrieve things. Take it from somebody who recently almost took his own head off! A couple tips for you and anybody willing to read this far: Pull from the lowest point possible on the stuck unit, even if that means spending time with a shovel first. And.....Pull from actual tow hooks or tie-down spots. You were pulling from grab handles for entry that very easily could have snapped off. Last: (Especially true with a winch cable, but true for chains too) Use a "dampener" when pulling. By this, I mean a blanket, and old coat, even a canvas tarp. Wrap it around your chain or cable and secure it with duct tape or zip ties. I use an old moving blanket that I got at Harbor Freight for $5. If you use this, and the chain or cable snaps......The dampener absorbs a bunch of that shock and may prevent serious injuries. Sometimes we are all guilty of doing what's easy, instead of what's correct. That recent choice recently got me very seriously injured. Avoid making the same mistake I did! Good luck in the future with your awesome channel, and thank you for sharing your life with us, and keep the great videos coming!
YIKES! That is quite a story. The mental image I have of your injuries is going to make me think a great deal before taking any shortcuts going forward. Thank you for sharing and I hope your surgery goes well.
Why did you take the tracks off? Anyway when pulling something out of a mudhole it's better to hook low on the stuck unit:hooking high and it pulls down on the front.
Tracks off to install new tires...and haul to dads place to help him out
Every word I was saying\thinking. OMG chain for dinner!!!!!!! At least nothing was total loss. Lessons learned.
Josh, that's what farm life is all about....Learning and getting the job done and not being afraid to try different things. The Green Acres farmer
Use as a learning experience. I have seen many chains break and fly through the air. Tractor always the go to, just pull no jerking. Thank God noone was hurt!
Just a little math about using smaller culverts - A 24 inch culvert has 452.39 square inches so two 24 inch culverts have a total 904.78 square inches - A 48 inch culvert has 1,809.6 square inches - You will need about four 24 inch culverts to move the same about of water as one 48 inch culvert
Anytime pulling stuck equipment or even hauling equipment on a flat bed the best anchor point is low. Good on you for still posting this vid and teaching people about safety. Been enjoying the videos.
LA City boy in the house! Grew up in the back woods of Florida :). Love thus stuff, takes me back to my childhood. One day I will retire a farmer. 👍🏽
Wow! That old truck purrs like a kitty!
thanks for sharing
I LOVE ALL THE POSITIVITY IN ALL UR VIDEOS U TEACH ME ALOT AND U ARE A GREAT TH-camR U ARE ONE OF THE BEST
Thank you so much 😀
Great video, always nice to see Mrs Stoney. Stay healthy and safe.
That belt was do to come off anyway. You just help it along. Miner details. Now if you had blown the motor up that would been really bad. Life on the farm got to love it. Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff 👍👍🤘🤘💪💪 The real farm life !! There’s always something breaking down or getting stuck 🤣🤣 Got to love it , I sure do .. Whhooooo stay safe & god bless
Josh......if you want to eliminate opening the hood to hook up that wire.....either run 2 wires or a double wire if you have some one wire butt connected in place of that aligator clamp and to a toggle switch in the cab and other from the toggle switch to the siliniod. Ive run a bunch of old trucks set up like that. Ive always put a switch in the cab as ive been in a few instances were ive needed to shut the motor off quickly.......its alot easyier to just flip a switch off.
You have too much fun. I used to. Age does not allow me to work on the farm anymore like that. Keep the videos coming.
I'm glad you're enjoying the channel brotha!
🏴🇬🇧🏴 Manchester, England wishes you a great day 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Riprap rock, Shot rock, Rubble, used as a barrier to prevent erosion.
You da man, Josh! Wooooo!!!👍👍
When you get that cabin built, we'll come help you out for a few days. Logan would love it.
Enjoyed the video Josh. It is just part of life when working on something and then something else happens. But life is good. Thanks for sharing the good and bad.
SRF I have always heard if you aren't doing anything, then bad things don't happen. Just comes with the territory. Love your spirit.
Skeeter, for the skidsteer. Also I feel like bubba ropes may be willing to sponsor a video or two.
Ready to see the difference new tires make on it. Nice of you to help the old man so much.
I feel ya bro. I was raised on a farm and one time I got a tractor so stuck you could turn the rear wheels with your hand. I mean the tractor was sitting on the differential so hard that there was hardly any resistance to turning the rear wheels. I had no way to get the tractor out and would have been up a creek if a man had not saw my mess, knew a trick for getting tractors unstuck, and helped me get the tractor out. Sorry, but when I saw your mess I couldn't help but smile.
Liked the video I have to do some culvert work myself on a area that was washed out by the rains. Just a heads up two 24" pipes do not equal a 48" pipe. The area of a circle is 3.14 R squared so a 24" pipe is 452 Square inches time 2 is 904 square inches. A 48 inch pipe has an area of 1808 square inches so you would need four 24" pipes to equal a 48" pipe.
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and looking forward to the next one
Josh as FYI 1 48" culvert by cross sectional area has nearly 2x the flow capacity of 2x24" culverts. If you have the fill, replace the 2 x 24" culverts with 2 x 48" and cure the problem of flood waters crossing the road. also clean up the debris to keep the culverts clear and free flowing .
Good thing you had that toilet paper in the glove box when the pucker up moment happened 👍
It's always hard to see slopes and terrain on video. You know water seeks the low spots. I'd do three things to make that road much more durable.
1. Make sure the middle of the bridge is THE low spot. make the whole thing a gentle, shallow U shape but make SURE it's not flat. If the water decides to cut a new channel 10' beyond the edge you are going to lose the whole thing and have a new creek bed.
2. I'd dig down and add a third 24" (or even 36" if there's room) culvert on top of the other two forming a triangular configuration. That will add MUCH more water handling capability. And BTW... Two 24" culverts are not the same as a single 48" as you mentioned. Huge difference in area and therefore flow capacity.
3. On the down stream edge of the bridge I'd dig a narrow trench and fill with concrete creating a little mini secant wall and then do the rip-rap and concrete. Basically you want to make a concrete spillway that the whole flood stage flow can pour over without erosion. The little secant wall or footing at the top is to prevent the flow from getting under/behind the concrete and rip-rap spillway.
Love the channel! Woooo!
Look into making yourself some Gabion baskets filled with Rip Rap to stop your bridge from washing out. Just a thought. Love the site, bringing back many happy memories of the hill farm I grew up on in Scotland!
hey Josh I've got some tip for this olf Ford truck, put a simple ON/OFF switch in cabin, get some wire, one end from switch to this wire that you normaly connecting to selenoid, then take another piece of wire from other end on switch and connect straight to selenoid = you will be able to turn ON connection on selenoid with that switch without ooening hood ;)
I was thinking you should have used the John Deere to pull it out when you said the same thing. Lol. That single axle truck with those tires on it and it being empty. You just had no traction. Hey Josh it happens to all of us. Great video. I really enjoyed it. 👍👍👍❤️
If you could predict the future, I predict that the grouser tracks woud have been mounted BEFORE the project began.
I'm glad you got out safely.
I have a idea for you, you can take bags of concrete. Do not open but use like block, put holes in the bag and wet them down. After it is cured take the paper off. And you have a block of concrete in place.
There’s a chain spot on the bottom of the skid on the front just below the boom bump stops for next time.
Just FYI, You need three 36" large culverts under that road + rock wired in place to prevent erosion. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Stoney Ridge at mud fest thanks for the videos buddy appreciate them
Hey that’s part of living on the farm if you don’t get stuck in the mud every once in a while then you’re not having any fun 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry Josh, the Area of a Circle ⭕️ grows exponentially Larger, as a circle gets bigger.
a) 2ft drain pipe = 3.14 sq ft 2 x 2ft drains = 6.28 sq ft -total area.
b) 3ft drain pipe = 7.07 sq ft More water than (2) - 24in pipes
c) 4ft drain pipe = 12.57 sq ft equal to (4)- 24” drain pipes
I have thought about this for several days and decided to tell Josh to do the math. But you beat me to it. His 2 two feet pipes only carry half what one 4 foot pipe will.! Still enjoy the videos and cannot but like Josh's enthusiam.
@@craigmayes8606 Yep - caught that too...
@@rhymereason3449 Me. too.
That dump truck is a cool addition to the farm!
Well looked like fun. I got my truck stuck. It similar to yours. Little older lol. Took me half day with the tractor pulling and unloading the whole truck. It s easy to get into these situations. Whole lot of work sometimes getting yourself out. Somehow mine always include the tractor and other vehicles. There is always that darn mud. Enjoyed watching someone else this time. Have a great week.
Love your channel and attitude , when you work stuff happens , great tractor , and awesome farm!
That storm was absolutely brutal. I'm SE of you. I was waiting to see you get a little pop from that jumper wire....LOL.
Looks A lot like my f8000 so that might be what yours is they are great trucks keep up the good work Josh
The cross sectional area of (2) 24in pipes is only 905 in^2. Just (1) 48in pipe has double that area at 1,810 in^2. It’s not linear, it goes up by the square of the radius. So if you keep having problems one 48in pipe would more than handle it.
25 years in field artillery with hearing protection and I still have loss of hearing (but they say I’m fine) and tinnitus. But the Nashville TN VA hospital takes real good care of me.
I would suggest a series of small repension dams that will slow the velocity of flood waters and drop it's beadload and will allow vegetation to grow to help stop bed erosion
Find you an old flat deck 48' or 53' trailer that's been taken out of commission, cut the running gear off it and bury both ends about 30" inches deep and call it done. Best farm bridge ever.
The bridge looks a lot better. Belts and hoses don't like to sit in the woods for years. It's hard to tell how old the rubber on it is. You will probably have to replace most of it in the next year or so. Still, it has a really solid drivetrain so it should make a good farm truck.
to keep from being asked, "honey that old excavator and dozer are looking rough, why don't you get rid of them"? I built a nice equipment barn around them, because about twice a year I need them for just this kind of project. have some fun Stoney Ridge, keeps ya getting up in the morning and PS, if we get that much water in a hole, we call it a well and irrigate with it.
Nice skid steer (skid loader)
Just take the broken belt to Napa and they have a belt gauge that will show you what belt you would need. And just get one size up and one size down just in case if it didn't pull over in time some Ware
Good video, josh. If you aren’t stuck or haven’t been stuck you aren’t using your equipment enough.
Water is a powerful beast, if this is an odd occurrence for the water to get up over the road then you just repair the road as you did and call it good till next time. If this occurs on a regular basis then I would dig out your culvert pipes and open the ditch up completely. Then I would use the material you dug out to raise the elevation of the road on either side of the creek and then find a retired flatbed semi trailer to put across for a bridge. I'm sure cousin could hook you up with one.
Jason E old single wide trailer frames work really good for that purpose after the top side of the trailer is removed of course. You can usually grab one off Craigslist for a couple hundred bucks and will last a lifetime if set correctly
Josh, we a have a creek like that on our farm...in dry weather, it looks like you could get away with one culvert or two. but when it rains, all the uphill water converges into that stream. So, we had to put THREE giant pipes in for our culvert. No more washouts!
Love the channel. I know its hard to film so much but we enjoy your videos.
Fun times. Don't you just love getting stuck? At least it was not in 3 feet of snow or more. Others have commented a lot about helping you do a better job of towing. I would have tried to push the skid steer our using a chain or rope. Needless to say I was never very successful. Thanks for the video. I think this might be a temporary fix for the bridge. Thanks for sharing.
Run a toggle switch inside the cab for your jump wire, will make life alot easier!
When towing something out of a wet hole i.e. as your skid steer you must always keep the chain under the bucket and the short as possible that way you’re always lifting the front of the vehicle that is stuck and helps to remove it from The wet hole
I bet someone wishes he had kept that backhoe someone sold glad you didn't flip it when you were pulling on it great video 👍 nobody hurt good day
The tractor saved the day! Can you show us pouring concrete on that bridge?? I really want to see how you make that happen.
Good Morning Stoney Ridge Farm from Kentucky Wooooo!!!
Josh consider sowing bank area in something like rye grass. Comes up quick and has a good root system. Once up nice and thick, spray it and add back you rip rap. Cheaper than concrete.
Me too,Philly.
Can smell the inside of that dump truck, brings back memories!
Put in a few fence posts about 1 foot apart a few feet upstream of your culvert. This will stop trees and linbs from plugging the culvert. I have seen this happen and the washouts are amazing.
Great video josh I really like the dump truck I started trucking in 2007 I drove a 97 peterbuilt with a cat diesel they are very good engines I would love to be there and help you haul some dirt thank you for sharing wooo
You should name your skid steer little Johnny
You commented that 2 24 inch pipes were equal to 1 48 inch pipe. The formula for circle area is pie(sic) r squared. So radius of 24 in pipe is 12 inch or 1 ft. Same with 48 inch pipe is 24 inch or 2 ft. So take pie out of equation, then 1 squared is 1 square ft. 2 squared is 4 square ft. Therefore 1 48 inch pipe has 2 times volume as 2 24 inch pipes
One thing for sure Josh we all have hind site. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda. But we ALL make mistakes. Mater probably needed a new belt anyways. Main thing is, you gotter done with tha you were Productive. Stay well my friend.
Hey Josh you should lay a a piece of a fence down on the rocks before you put the concrete down and then put the concrete on the fence to hold it down and dirt on it .
You hooked the chain way to high. The lift arms are most likely ductile iron and arn't made to take that strain. If you had hooked under the bucket, you would not be pulling the front of the skid into the dirt. Just a suggestion and or observation.
Great video, if there is anything left of the belt take it with you they can measure the length of the belt and get you one to fit!
Those handles are NOT for pulling on or chaining down to a trailer. You will rip the HANDLES off. There is a loop on the front of the frame to pull or chain to a trailer. If that chain happened to break it could come right back at your face. Stay safe.
The bridge came out nice. Getting good on the skid steer. Next time, bust up the dirt below before you add nee dirt on top. The dirt you added is going to sluff off as it is not bonded to the original dirt. Some people compact in lifts using a sheeps foot roller, creating undulations for the new dirt being added to bond to the existing dirt.
Need a track machine for the mud! I rented a wheeled skid steer to do work in the back yard and sank that puppy quick!
Hello my brother u work very good I like amazing
Its RIP Rap but it's your video so you can call it what you want, awsome video man
The Truck’s “Pull Out” game was weak. 😂😂
Too bad you don’t have tracks for that thing.... o wait haha also, be carful where you hook the chain man. I would hat for you to get hurt!!
Very interesting as always.if your not stuck once a week your not trying hard enough😂.at the start of video u have fallen trees hung up on other one’s be careful if working in the woods.🇮🇪
I'm tellin' ya, call the skid loader Porky. He loves the mud!
Next time this happens try putting the chain as low as possible on the skid steer will work a lot better
Doug Huey if he lift the bucket up there should be a good spot to chain to the frame
We will always weld chain hooks on the side of our buckets down low. Geometry is a lot better if you pull out stuck equipment by hooking onto it down low. Also gives you a bit of freedom to pull against the tug machine at different angles and still use the bucket like you were doing to lift the front wheels up out of the muck. Keep the videos coming. I watch every one...albeit a bit late sometimes when it’s planting season. 👍🏼
Josh, just an fyi, as a plumber by trade ,you said at 2:00 , two 24" pipes make a 48" pipe. As far as dia. And water flow goes. It does not . Sorry.
Yep...the math was explained to me a little better....however it still would have flooded over..the creek filled the 4 foot pipe way way up stream..there was alot of water coming through
Mator was a tow Tow truck. You'll need to call him Dump Zilla. Lol
It may have been better to to hook the chain lower down on the front. What it was doing was trying to tilt the skidder forward as you pulled it putting all the weight on the front axle pulling it down into and against the front of the hole and taking it off the rear.
Figures after you took the tracks off :)
The same thing happened to me the other day. Got my new Kubota MX5800 buried. Luckily my old Ford 335 was able to pull it out after a little digging.
Good news is that my dry land has a spring or at least a seep I didn't know about.
I dug a 3 ft hole and it filled up overnight.
I need to get a tank and pump to set up irrigation
You will flood less if you clean the debris out of your stream. Is a pain, but a clean stream means free flow when needed.
Sometimes you get stuck and sometimes things get broke, that just means you're working tough! While you are fixing the belt you should fix the starter so you don't have to open the hood everytime to start and shut off. Love Mater! Give her a nice pressure washing and she will look brand new. On a totally different subject love the coveralls. My Carharts are super comfortable, but take a lot of grief everytime I wear them from my wife.. Imagine that. She is from WV and I'm originally from Cape Cod. You would think she would be more into rocking the coveralls!? They are the official WV tuxedo for Pete's sake!
Josh, try to find a Gates FleetRunner belts. They are usually green but not always. I use them on anything I haul or tow with. Little more expensive but I have never had on fail.
The truck probably would have pulled it out if you hooked the chain lower on the skidsteer
I like that you gunned it at the last second, that was a clincher goin over that "bridge" lol...subbed!
...kidding, I already subscribed for the chickens, thank you sir.
I wonder why skid steer owners do not weld/ attach a 10-20 thousand pound winch to the front of the skid steer...so you always have the towing cable ready and you can attach it to stationary objects when you get stuck, like big trees, or stumps, etc...or attach it to another vehicle and let the winch help pull you out,
theoretically you could just mount a winch to anything I guess
🤠. I keep my bucket full with dirt when grading ,more compaction ,better stability ,wheel roll one tire over edge every inch of compacted area 🚜 cheers🥃
Agree with the comments about hooking the chain through the hand grip loops being dangerous, puts the pull to high and digs the nose into the mud making more wore work for the tug vehicle, tends to upend the skidsteer, and is a serious risk to the operator if the chain fails, could do more than take out teeth, might whip across chest neck or face, all very dangerous.
Two 24 in pipes don't have the same cross section as a 48 in pipe, the multiplier for cross section area is root 2 or 1.4 giving a c/s area equivalent to that of a 33 inch pipe. If the water backs up enough at that crossing to to flow over the roadway, you need a much larger pipe capacity, or an actual bridge that is clear in the creek bed. Ultimately the object is for the water to flow with little or no obstruction at the crossing, then the water level will not rise up to erode the crossing.
Put the tracks back on the skid loader and you dig out a proper pond in that hole to help lower the water table some in that bottom and make it more usable? Then you will have a proper pile of dirt ready to use when you need it...
I'm going to have to ask what possessed you to hook to the handle for getting in and out of the machine hahahahahahahahah next time Josh hook it to the bucket it makes it a whole lot easier and when you are real stuck you can use the hydraulics to get yourself out even if the truck or tractor can't pull you out
Agreed. I have rolled my bucket with a chain tight around it many times to get unstuck. Hook it to a tree or heavy object...roll bucket, move, tighten chain....repeat.
Drill some holes on each side, set some poles and build a small retaining wall next to the edges of the driveway. Then you can pour the concrete too.
Never mind Manhattan, you've got a subscriber here who lives in downtown Tokyo! Although I was raised on a hill farm in Wales. 🏴🇯🇵🐑🐂
Cool!
“Mater” needs his own tshirt & I’ll take two of them! He sounds mean!
