Accidents Happen / Earlage Harvest

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Scary moments, glad no one was hurt. Accidents on the farm can happen so fast it’s unbelievable, it can be anything. God Bless your family and stay safe.

[@andrewbrown8704]

Kevin has some amazing patience.

[@marktranbarger2122]

Glad you got the tractor out without too much trouble. I would say it was just an oops. Ethan's pride might be the only thing hurt. Hope the yield is as good as you has hoped. Hello from Springfield Missouri.

[@jamestauschek5424]

Hello from Southeastern Wisconsin. It was looking a little sketchy there for a moment with the tractor teetering on only two wheels. I was also freaking out with Kevin standing so close to the tightly torqued chain. Glad to see the situation was safely rectified without damage or injuries. Have a safe and productive work week!

Farming and Crab Fishing can be two (2) of the Most Dangerous Occupations. Generally Speaking, there are NO Second Chances. Your Family Lives Safety. 👍🙏

[@andrewgraves3719]

Have you been able to find sawdust for bedding this year or will you go another route? Happy to see no one was hurt. May God's blessings continue to shine on your family and farm.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Sawdust is abundant this time of the year, but we wait and see what winter brings.

[@joemutter7661]

Amen nobody hurt and back doing work

[@فارس-ف2ر9ض]

You are doing a very good job

[@DelventhalJohn-ct2ts]

Good video, Rhonda! I'm glad the tractor is out and no body got hurt! Good luck with the harvest.

[@mickfalvey6045]

I found myself holding my breath watching the recovery. Phew nerves of steel you farmers have😊

[@andrewstich7117]

[@rmlestes]

[@keithburkett9448]

Great Video 👍

[@kens.3729]

Kevin seems to Always be s Calm and Cool and Im sure it’s Not just on Video. I bet you need to occasionally take Kevin’s Pulse to make sure he’s still Breathing. 😬

[@shelbiemarsh6430]

God bless

My cousin's classmate from Bible School was killed in a summer accident while cutting grass along the highway in southern Alberta. (1961) The classmate was driving a tractor for the Department of Highways. In those days, roll cages were not mandatory. He drove over a culvert hidden by the tall grass. The tractor rolled and he went straight to Heaven. Ethan is blessed in that the accident could have been much worse. Kevin was concerned as well as he came over to see. Give them all a hug.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

That's awful!! Sorry to hear that.

[@JayCollins2013]

We have many one armed farmers in Kansas from farming accidents

[@aproudamerican2692]

That could have been so much worse. Thank God it wasn't. Farming is the 10th most dangerous profession for personal injuries.

[@burryhulbertjr1429]

Ide like to tell uall from southeast Ohio. Congratulation on youalls bay engagement. I directional drilled as well in 90's. He seem as be very well manored young man. And she will never let him starv She knows food n farming. N thats rarely about these day. !! Awsome. Im still waiting on daughter.. she picky. But smart❤😊😊

[@danherrmann8755]

Another day on the farm.

[@andrewrahe6611]

Instead of chains, have you guys looked into a heavy/long pull rope? Defnitely expensive, but after having a chain break and fly through the back window of a tractor I was in, it was well worth the purchase.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

No, never looked into getting ropes.

[@kylerayk]

Some folks call that "high moisture corn."

[@leighvrooman2824]

Have you ever tried mowing and baling the corn stocks after cutting for silage. Good bedding and feed for pigs.

[@theoisaac9948]

💯 👍

[@kevinsiedschlag9096]

Thank God nobody got hurt

[@MichaelHolloway]

he's making an earlage road to drive it out!

[@MichaelHolloway]

chains work too ;)

[@omarlai227]

Che bella che sei ❤ stupenda 😍🥰😘

[@randyphillips1275]

Awesome video

[@vtt-x1f]

Bonjour Il était en mauvaise posture heureusement il n'a rien cassé Bonne fin de récolte Un français King air 80

[@russellsteele4404]

👍

[@JayCollins2013]

I have became very close to my acres of clay KZbin family❤ please be safe. Prayers

[@clydemuir7898]

Do you know to use a snatch block

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Should have used concrete walls instead of bales concrete is more sturdy than bales of hay

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

Dutch term picker grinding 😊. Did Kevin breakin Mackenzie’s future husband milking lol.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Seth has helped milk cows a few times. 😊

[@MichaelJensen-i5k]

When you said øre what is that

[@kennethdean2417]

Ronda. I think that the only thing that got hurt was Ethans pride but it can happen to the best of us Just brush it off as an unfortunate experience

[@timb4569]

driving close to the edge, thats a "guy thing" he wasn't scared.

[@tims6104]

Just the tractor isn't bad me i did tractor and full silage wagon not fun

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Scary!!

[@paulglijnis8237]

Why are you put al the feed against eachother it looks like a mess to me. And on top off some feed there is a lot off feed wat is serious ok anymore😢

[@Thumper4866]

That's not earlage. It has nothing to do with ears. It's SILAGE.

[@leighvrooman2824]

Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations. You can thank the lord if you can look at your hands and count to ten. Always say a prayer before the day begins. Stay safe and be alert.

[@burryhulbertjr1429]

Awsome stuff!! He will remthis

[@kens.3729]

Guys have a Strong 💪 Tendency of pushing the limits because it’s what we do. 🤨 His wife will need to have a stern conversation with him. 😬👍🙏

[@johnnyrichter963]

dose anything ever get Kevin down? must be the coolest guy I've ever seen. just goes with the flow. I need his attitude towards life.

[@chuckguyitt4017]

I’ve had a few of those myself and the simple answer is just get another tractor and chain and pull back on it from an angle to the stuck tractor.

[@ruralridez6165]

Have you heard anything more about the 8yr old boy that was killed. The media just said he was hit by farm equipment. I figured it was down by you guys since wayland fire and rescue responded to the call.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

I haven't heard any more details yet. So sad!! 😢 Yes, a neighboring farm.

[@gabrielklassen9043]

Oh my thats a poop your pants moment

[@johnearle6667]

I used to work with a farm contractor and have seen that type of thing happen a few times over the years and as long as there’s a person that has sense to know where to hook the chain it usually ends ok

[@kens.3729]

Thanks for the Great Explanation on Earlage. 👍🙏

[@farmboy5622]

Glad everything worked out okay, and everyone is safe.

[@terrydarow8401]

The Lord was with u Eathon please b careful the farm needs u it definitely could have been a lot worse ❤

[@genechronister7085]

Another great vid! Lesson to be learned! Also run that chain thru a tire,helps to prevent whip lash from a snapped chain or cable. Learned from my past experiences.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Safety first Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ourv9603]

OSHA reports of all the jobsite accidents reported to them each & every year more on the job accidents are reported to them have happened on FARMS. And of all of those reports, most involve a TRACTOR. !

[@WoolyBully62]

That would be a perfect opportunity for the yankum rope. Help keep our farms safe yankum ropes

[@whew5]

I remember many years ago about 55, one of my classmates brother was packing silage and they found him under the tractor. He didn't survive.That was before roll bars. Alway be careful packing.

[@AKsnowball]

When I was a kid on farm by Newaygo. My Dad was pulling me backwards to start a 620 JD tractor, I put the clutch in to early stopped the pickup and didn’t start the tractor. So my Dad backed up the pickup to give a tug to start rolling. The chain snapped come back and wrapped around the right axle next to me. We went and bought batteries for the tractor.

[@ronzimmerman8968]

We shelled our high moisture and followed with a pull type harvester with a direct cut head to harvest the stalks for heifer feed. It made acceptable feed, but it stretches manpower pretty hard.

[@davidcollver6155]

Okay everybody's okay. What's done is done and as the saying goes,,,, 'tomorrow as they say is the next day'. All is well.

[@davidcollver6155]

Serious though please run your chain to several of your tires you have there at least one of your commenters mentioned that it will prevent Whiplash from the broken chain should that happen. It really works just put the tires towards the ends. Good luck God bless.

[@carlfoltz4244]

This could have ended very tragically. Praise the Lord it did not. Please stress caution and wisdom when doing such work to everyone. No one can be replaced. But they sure can be missed.

[@CorvetteBill364]

I know that was scary 😦 . Anytime you have that a Tractor that gets that squirrelly you can get hurt. I am glad the young man is safe and tractor and driver weren’t hurt 😢..

[@doncc6080]

First time I can remember Kevin not smiling through a disaster. That had its scary moments and yeah Ronda chains can break and be dangerous.. God was with you all in getting the tractor out.

[@edholbeck6300]

That's why you use A tractor with duals on a mirror when would they make appointments of friday

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Bet Eathan needs new Shorts . LOL Farms are full accidents I have had my share.

[@steveketchum9836]

That's an underwear check moment. Not sure I like those bales in there, but not sure I know a better way without concrete walls

[@edcrego8487]

Man he lucky he didn't get hurt you need to pour some strong concrete walls my cousin pack with a huge stieger all day wall to wall there feed always smells and looks so fresh

[@jerrystout3032]

Great family amazing and precious time s!!!!😇

[@ciaog421]

Next time you better park the huge Challenger on top of the pile, he can pull out that small MF easily.

[@thomasrankin8506]

Kevin I am so happy for your daughter McKenzie to get married

[@patgamble3217]

It looks like it suck him to the left. I have done that. It happens to all of us farmers .helpers .or family. Just take your time.

[@ronaldpiper4812]

I wanted to toss a old blanket or something on the chain also. I love chains but a few blocks and some cable work better.

[@jaykettlewell3922]

All part of growing up farming. He will remember this and be a little more careful next time

[@kentlock520]

Been there, next time hook the chain to the right upper 3 point pivot. that way it prevents tractor from going over & also gives a rearward force vector

[@thr8061]

We've been doing earlage since the mid-70s. The added roughage is good for the dairy herd.

[@bruceslattengren8587]

Very very busy I’m glad the tractor is out and no body got hurt good video good luck with the harvest 😊

[@sethholsopple3802]

Thank god no one was hurt god bless your family.

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video Rhonda that was a close call but everyone safe that’s the main thing

[@dennislamers986]

That's never a good situation to be in. Trouble comes in threes.

[@kcphillips1000]

Done that a few times . Gets a bit tricky when the heap of silage is higher than the sides of the clamp

[@johanvantrier]

Here in the Netherlands it is a mandatory to seed a covercrob after cornharvest.

[@Alan-rn5ip]

Tractor with tyres that bad should not be on a pit. No grip and an accident waiting to happen

[@7viewerlogic670]

That would've been a scary ride.

[@allanhover5008]

Hello everyone cutting corn silage for moomoos

[@280813jb]

Do you have use a kernel processor on the chopper when you cut the earlage?

[@kerrysupporter]

That must be a dry field to be able to drive a loaded truck around it

[@allen8756]

You need a blade on the big Challenger to pack and level with.

[@rodneywroten2994]

Tractor will scare the mom or dad until job is done,

[@paulglijnis8237]

Always put the chain over de hitch , so it wont tip over

[@duanegenther725]

Curl your bucket help push your way back

[@x_Dude1]

Nasty surprise to topple over. All is good. 🤞

[@robertrohler3644]

That is cool. thanks for the education on earlage.

[@daviemccallum7759]

Why do you not use dual wheels for the silage pit

[@nedflora1154]

Whew I was on the edge of my seat glad that's over

[@Castrucksandtractors]

Love all yalls videos my 10 yr old grandson watches it with me all the time. He said Pawpaw ole Ethan cowboyed up and wasn't scared hes tough

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@colinvoss8484]

Yup sheep dip happens glad he stopped when he did.

[@steveketchum9836]

Is the corn in black layer? Hard to believe if it's that green. My understanding without a milk line, it's all sugar that doesn't survive fermentation.

[@Adam_Poirier]

How many acres of corn do you do every year?

[@alharmon9650]

A yankum rope would work wonders

[@whit10mm72]

Bucket down! Lordy
