    Winter Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday and Saturday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a TH-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
    Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
    These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

Coming out of the beeyard down a country lane, we stopped unexpectedly and then watched the left trailer wheel pass the truck and meander down the lane until coming to a stop. At least we had the forklift to help in our repair. I checked the lug nuts religiously after that episode!

At least everyone was safe, including Rocket. Thank goodness for friends and family! The missing wheel was just icing on the crappy day's cake.

    You have my sympathies on the wheel coming off. I was cruising down the highway when I felt a wobble in the back of my truck and then saw a wheel go flying past me. At 60mph (within the speed limit). Fortunately, the truck has duals and only an outside wheel came off. But all I could think of as the loose wheel sailed down the highway was what an attorney friend said in a similar situation---"ABSOLUTE LIABILITY!" . No one was hurt and I found the loose wheel in an orchard. Scary when it happens and still scary over 10 years later.
    I torque them twice now and torque them again after a few miles. And I do not trust the shops to torque them right.
    However, I do not think incorrect torque settings caused your problem The studs sheared off.

And both times the way I knew I had lost them was they passed me up as I was driving down the road. That was weird to see a toilet on a trailer pass me as I drove down the road. :-) Cheers...

    You are very lucky that there wasn't any on coming cars, and yes things usually happen in 3's but someone was saying a prayer for both of you. I hope from now on things get better and no accidents either. Travis was saying how your sister got hit on that inner section and how dangerous it is. Also Travis having you and his friend helping him out. I would of gone stair crazy. I have been that way cuz in the last 6 years I probably been in the hospital 4 of the 6 it was b never ending thing until last June I blew up at the doctors that I was resistant to the antibiotics and they finally changed it and I haven't been in the hospital for 9 months now and I listen to you Ryan and Travis on all your videos which reminds me of the good times in farming, It was my dream to farm my grandfather land until 98 things turned to the worst with a knee infection and possibly some joint involvement and yes 2 yrs later MRI showed torn cartilage and I have lost 200 lbs and have another 150 to go atleast but with 150 I can get my knee replacement and a shoulder also as livestock is hard on you hogs for sure not so much cattle but hope you have a better day and week ahead and Travis gets the 7100 fox and back. I feel that I jinx Travis as I said get your tractor back and get all the kinks out of it so he can work it this spring and bale with it.
