I Almost Wrecked The 7600

That was a close call! That’s 101 reasons to own a MFWD. I took the 7600 out to spread fertilizer and it got a little slippery going downhill!

Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin 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.

Hey Ryan!! Hey Hannah!! That didn't look very fun. I remember my Dad sliding our old Johnny B down a steep hill. I was riding in the wagon and he told me to bale out. He made it in one piece but we never went that way again.

[@jaredmoorman1300]

Hope you will make a full recovery

[@waterskiingfool]

Ryan had to change his pants after that. Lol. It would of made a good story for Travis on @therestofthestory

Gee from the drone it looks like you could pick rocks in the pasture for the ditch.

[@barrydarnell9748]

Had a load in my bucket, downhill over a hump and the rears came off the ground in 2 WD. Dropped the bucket and it settled down. But important lesson learned heavy work = 4 WD every single time.

[@MatthewHoag77]

I see the cart was trying its best to go before the horse(power). Way to stay in control, Kuster! Tell Hannah there are far more comfortable places to stretch out than on top of the round bales. Oh, and a happy early birthday to her as well!

Great to see Hannah in the game! I thought she might run the spreader?

[@mrwalterreadysr9523]

Awesome ryan

[@ianhaggart1438]

Nice to see you kept it straight. I though the 4wd would of kicked in for braking as it does on my 1990's ford 8730🤔. You kept your cool that was the main thing though and no harm done👍. Keep safe out there all of you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@gromitNOR83]

Dunno. At least in Europe there where rules demanding 4 wheel braking with tractors exceding 20 mph and most of them solved it by engaging the 4WD when braking

[@keithhackman9627]

Our 7800 engages the 4wd when you go on the brakes over 11mph, but not when you are going slower than 11.

[@jdtractorman7445]

You probably know this now but try a lower gear when going down hill like that. The urge is to push in the clutch and step on the brake though, lol. Ask me how I know.

[@conormurphy2653]

In my experience, 4wd kicks on when you press the brakes always and then disengages after. Even on older machines like my 1993 Ford 7740.

[@markwright3161]

It's how I've always known it too with our similar age Massey Ferguson 390T. I've got frustrated with it kicking in when turning on tarmac (like on the road when you need the brake lights so can't bypass it by braking only one wheel), after seeing what it's designed to reduce the chances of, I'll now take that as happy to know it's still working. :) It doesn't half make a bang when it disengages though.

[@robertreznik9330]

I have a Surgeon friend who said he has the answer to stop contaminating the rivers with fertilizer. The spraying of 1-2 gallons of raw milk / ac will double the hay production.

[@mitch1348]

Great video, as always. For the drone shots while you’re driving - is the drone on an automatic path (based on where you’re at), or are you flying and farming at the same time?? Greetings from the other side of the state.

[@Suedeman]

Probably just in follow mode thats how I shoot feild shots

[@johnnydale6515]

What minerals do your cows get ?

[@charleslloyd1683]

I like watching you and your brother because you guys are almost always working with basic farm equipment. Zach at Millennial rarely makes a video anymore unless he has a deal to advertise something. And some other popular farm sites are always showing off their fat wallets and high dollar equipment. and this worries me greatly. If and when the democrats take the White House. One of their first targets will be farm bills. Because they will need the money to support those whom do not feel like supporting themselves. Or go to college for free. I am afraid that farmers showing how prosperous they are. Are just biting themselves in the butt. And will cause another nationwide farm tragedy. Especially for the small and medium farmer.

[@donmathias1705]

You were probably a wee bit lucky you did not jackknife. A locked wheel is a recipe for trouble. Gentle application of brakes and concentrate where you are going should be the number one priority. A good learning example for everyone. It can go wrong fast. A few bad bounces on a rough track are far more preferable to a jackknife. I know of two young men killed in exactly the same circumstances with loads pushing then and then their trailers jack knifing on them.

[@pauls4460]

Pucker factor of about 11 sliding down a hill like that. Have you done soil tests on your low yielding pastures? Lime is cheaper than fertilizer, and can be more cost effective. The 11 acre field "split test" will tell you a lot.

[@robertreznik9330]

[@davidl.miller8168]

Ryan, I know being pushed down a hill is no fun. I remember as a kid I had a loaded hay wagon behind me and was driving a small 820 Deere and it pushed me down a hill. It was fine, but I ruined a good pair of underwear that day.

[@dilloncobun463]

Look I don’t mean to be rude but if you know your going to go down a steep hill with a heavy load put it in four wheel drive that wont happen

[@deutz450]

Always wondering why there are no trailer brakes in the us. In germany we have some kind of brakes on the trailers, on the bigger trailers and machines over 8 tons, air brakes are mandatory.

[@FoolOfATuque]

Over the hill and through the woods to Ryan's house we go?

[@tiger5551]

Nice dude. Don’t feel bad, I wrecked our 4430 in a ditch when I was 8

I would love to know how you and Hannah are you doing do you have any kids now and are you guys still Farming I love following you guys

[@Adam_Poirier]

Lol idk if anyone ever told you but that tractor is your brothers baby. 😂He woulda been upset I bet. I’ve been in that situation before though I always find the best thing to do is actually keep going and don’t let the wheels side so you don’t jack knife but it’s easier said than done in the moment

[@LowKeyIdiots]

best bet would be drop to an idle get on the brakes starts dropping gears and if its still sliding and starts to wanna jack knife use each rear brake independently to get back straight and hope for the best haha

[@cba-astro5138]

When we push the brakes on our tractor, it engages on all 4 wheels, even when 4wd is turned off

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’s supposed to but didn’t for me that time until I had it locked in

Hey nice job area spreading I like it better when they spread I'm in Stockton il . Nutrition is a great place. You'd love to be spreading on my hill's. Real short changing.farm. lol

[@abobymous]

what could you do to build up the soil? High-residue planting, herd bedding spread, manure and hay? Are there resources from nearby farmers you could use to add to the soil to help build it up? What about working with solar project earth mover crews? :)

[@robbytextor3954]

[@deancook6832]

No actuals brakes on the front of that tractor so the only braking action is when the MFWD is engaged. I always run in "Auto". If you need to turn tight you can touch the brake on one side or other and it will temporarily turn off the front.

[@markarmitage7411]

On our 20 and 30series the 4wheel drive engages when you hit the brakes. If I'm going to a wet spot and have forgotten to turn on 4wd I just touch the brakes and it engages to get you tru

[@Blackwellll3066]

[@jazzerbyte]

Back in the days of the average tractor being smaller, the fertilizer buggies had built-in assistive brake cylinders that activated automatically from back pressure in the hitch. They were added because so many buggies ended up on the creek after pushing the tractor down the hill. I didn't spot any automatic brake on this buggy.

I think I mis identified the field. The the latter part of the video, where Ryan is in the field where they picked rocks last video, the grass is in little distinctive tufts, regularly spaced, in neat rows. That's what I'm inquiring about.
