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.

[@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. 😬

[@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.

[@kens.3729]

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

[@nedflora1154]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@robertrohler3644]

That is cool. thanks for the education on earlage.

[@bruceslattengren8587]

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

[@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. 😬👍🙏

[@SanaUllah-jf2wj]

[@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.

[@lesterhertel2945]

That was a good rescue on the tractor in the Earlage pile. Happy no one got hurt.

[@andrewbrown8704]

Kevin has some amazing patience.

[@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.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Happy 4 U all that mishap came out OK. Thx for explaining "earlage" to us & posting. Also thank you for the milk, cheese, butter & ice cream!

[@ElvinWeaver-pu8te]

Impressive first class tractor rescue operation!! And hopefully a teachable moment!

[@farmboy5622]

Glad everything worked out okay, and everyone is safe.

[@Goodman-s8y]

Have a good day and be safe

[@alvinsterk2918]

I thought hard about the tipping tractor because my grandpa was killed in the 60's when he rolled a John Deere on a hillside in the front yard. Very good job and a super video thank you for sharing 🙏🙏

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Sorry to hear of the accident with your grandpa.

[@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.

[@davidwilliams26]

Team work cooler heads always win great job and the best play by play coverage 😂

[@WoolyBully62]

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

[@samueledgarpegram7088]

I am glad everything worked out well for you all. I have been it a situation that was similar. It can be scary. The best thing is no one got hurt and nothing was damaged.

[@DelventhalJohn-ct2ts]

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

[@charlietanner6211]

[@mickfalvey6045]

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

[@bnghjtyu767]

Fun for me to watch sitting on my chair in the living room.

[@johnhenderson299]

Glad he didn't get hurt other than his pride

[@stephenpikaahu8883]

Bravo Rhonda Kevin well done blessings

[@curtiswolf313]

Glad everything worked out and nobody got hurt and no equipment damaged. Things like that can happen no matter how careful you are. Keeping calm was the best thing no matter how bad you wanted to chew some butt.

[@edfrackowiak3498]

😂that was Exciting 🎉 good job 👍

[@x_Dude1]

Nasty surprise to topple over. All is good. 🤞

[@thr8061]

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

[@johnviney7919]

Good video, Rhonda! Quite a save on the tractor. Going downhill seemed to work out well!! Have a nice day! 😀

[@Leon-qc7fe]

Well Ronda, I started to cringe when I saw Kevin standing by that chain. So glad no one got hurt. God bless all of you. Thanks for the scarry video.😒

[@acresofclayhomestead]

If you would have seen me...I too was cringing.

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Thanks for videoing. I might’ve put my camera away, but we all enjoyed the recovery. Glad it went well.

[@tractordan933]

That is scary stuff, glad no one was hurt.

[@Dave-ll6ei]

Nobody got hurt. That’s the good thing. Stay safe everyone.

[@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.

[@tube8533]

Great family work!

[@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.

[@thomasrankin8506]

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

[@williamrandall6472]

That was definitely scary,I guess Kevin just doesn't get scared.Wowza,be careful all of you, we want to see everyone stick around with us.

[@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.

[@robertlafollette2236]

The guys handled it well and no one got hurt , Praise God.❤🙏🙏

[@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.

[@toddpeters9007]

Glad everyone is safe , I've been on a tilt with my tractor .. doesn't take much , scary ... .

[@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.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

That was a scary moment for sure, I'm so glad nothing nor no one got hurt. I felt your anxiousness when Ethan was on the tractor with the wheel in the air. My son was on a small Massey and the brakes didn't work going down a hill. He turned the wheels to go sideways and the tractor's rear tire came off the ground about a foot. After that the brakes got replaced, which I told my wife that would never happen again. Whew, glad it turned out okay! I hope your day is good and you all have a good week.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Yeah, no brakes would be scary!!! Glad your son is ok!

[@I_Am_Michael]

love silage videos. tanx a rot dudette. keep the videos coming.

[@danielglaus2064]

Awesome as always!

[@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 😢..

[@joemutter7661]

Amen nobody hurt and back doing work

[@Michael-ld2cr]

Good thinking hook the chain to the row over bar to kept the tractor rowing on it side. I am glad it turned out right side up.

[@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

[@themodelhobbyist]

First God bless your Daughters wedding announcement. Thanks for the info on the Earlage not need here but some might need the info. As for the accident I was yelling at my TV scream direction so they would hear me over the equipment. You can imagine the laugh I had once I realized what I was doing but hey I have been right there to many times figuring something out. God bless you all this was a really good video. 🙂

[@joemutter7661]

Prayers for all

[@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❤😊😊

[@centexan]

Farming can be dangerous work. Glad nobody was hurt

[@davidkimmel4216]

No one hurt that is the main thing. God was with your family.

[@leesorensen3077]

Always a plus when you don't have to "test" the roll-over bars.

[@cmore7140]

Pins & needles! What a great escape! So glad it all worked out. Thx for sharing. Would have been easy for you to not share that content. Your channel is the real deal.

[@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

[@aproudamerican2692]

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

[@flemmingnielsen3434]

Thanks for vonderful video

[@keithburkett9448]

Great Video 👍

[@redwolf6724]

Right After You Said “You Are Not Getting On That” Then A Second Later He’s On It! I Know Being A Mom To Adventurous Farm Boy’s Has To Be A Tough Job! Nothing Got Hurt Except For Mom’s Nerves! Thank God Everyone’s Ok!!!

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB EVERYONE!

[@paulbarr3981]

I' sorry for the accident, however this was an exciting and intersting episode. A lot of basic physics involved. No one was hurt, so no

[@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.

[@davidhart4789]

So scary watching it. Was praying for Kevin when he was standing so near that chain. My little Brothers Father-in-Law was killed while doing that trying to get a stuck dozer free. He hooked the chain and when pressure was put on the chain it snapped with part of it flying back and hitting him in the head. Give him a big hug and kiss and tell him your subscribers said to never scare us like that again. 😱🫣

[@acresofclayhomestead]

😢

[@peterfrebold]

.... a bit of excitement to change up the day is always good as long as no-one gets hurt .... hazard to guess the bottom at the edge did not have a high compaction so when going to the edge later on it compressed and the weight of the tractor pushed the bales over .... again just the first thought that went through the grey matter .. heads up, not an engineer or even a farmer, so no first hand experience .... thx for the share ,, as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

[@ziauddin7948]

nice & high protein energy corn earlage harvesting & chopping # the chopper does remove the leaves & chop corn grains & the core to which grains r attached which has no nutritional value as it has high indigestible fiber # ❤️ 👍 🇵🇰

[@alvinsterk2918]

The good old days pick the corn leave the stalks and plow them under either when fall plowing or in the spring. Let it compost and mixed with manure from the barn you can't ask for better fertilizer. Maybe add some lime to neutralize the acid for the ph

[@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.

[@TheSlagman0]

Putting duels on the rear tires would make it safer to pack along the edges . I also built a metal box to put extra weight in for the 3 point to help in packing , just my two cents ! Enjoy your videos.

[@denniskurszewski2707]

Nobody got hurt !! My Dad would not let us use a tractor back in the day unless it had a roll bar .

[@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.

[@johanvantrier]

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

[@rmlestes]

Thanks

[@johnnyholland8765]

So glad to see y'all chain to that roll bar. It couldn't go over with that. I know you don't get the same amount of packing force with dual tires but they can sure help in a situation like that. How much tonnage difference per acre is there between earlage and the whole stalk? Also congratulations to MacKenzie on her upcoming wedding. She is a beautiful sweet well rounded person thanks to Mom and Dad and I wish only the best for them. Oh yea tell Ethan to stay away from that edge...

[@hollandcalf5133]

I guess, the tonnage difference between earlage and whole stalk is about 50%
