I hit a power line pole! Send help

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

i Work for a power company,a pole is couple hundred bucks. Labor is about $80 an hour for the truck just say $50 an hour for each man x2z should be less than $1000 if not free. We wouldn’t charge our customers if it was just an accident like this. When they get out there if they start talking money ask them do they have an easement to be on your property

[@54clags]

I feel your pain. Been there, done that with a disk. Didn't take the pole down, but messed it up enough to cause a short and wreck some of the neighbor's stuff. Definitely call your insurance agent.

[@craiga657]

How many working man words did you use at the time of impact?

[@tedepps9879]

We had a guy working on the farm that hit a power pole beside the road with the turbo till running at 11-12mph. Launched the pole out into road into a pickup truck, broke the power lines and they started a fire on the side of the road. Saw the whole thing from the planter. He was working on bastard rows that ended up at the side of the road compared to the rows in the field. Ended up being a very, very expensive day. Could be worse.

[@jarrodwemhoff7270]

Uncle stuck a boom in the power lines. That got really spicy

[@charlesowen501]

If you farm you are going to have problems, I’ve had similar problems when I sat where you’re sitting. Just keeping it real!

[@jamessmall1673]

retired 40 years with power company .... 5-10 thousand sounds ridiculous... $ 2,000 max in that situation

[@samueljoejr5191]

That Ole 8400 is clean !!

[@jdrogers8720]

About 25 years ago my on friend's boy was plowing a field that he came just with in just inches of a low hanging line that had 7600 volts in it and it arched to the rain cap on there 1950 Oliver . and we heard the KERRRRRBOOM a half mile away . It blew all four tires on the tractor plus the tail wheel on the five bottom plow and blew off three of the five shears clean off the plow . Andy did not get hurt luckly but he may have needed a clean pair of shorts . I did the shelling the fall before in that field And told my friend that line was hanging low when i was shelling under it as it was about a foot or so over the old 410 Massey as i did get out and look before i went under it .

Didn't hear morning. You are still alive so everything will be OK. Happy subscriber 😊!

I drive a dump truck and in the asphalt business this happens a lot!! Never seen any of the bills but guarantee it's cheaper than digging up fiber optics!

[@louisnemick1939]

Brain stuff happens. I am so glad you didn't get hurt.

[@fmerkl]

Shit happens!! I pull a 65 foot packer bar harrow and have clipped a few things with it over the years !

Love video’s. Love the family time y’all have together. God bless.

[@jorgemrivera5973]

Well, you smash that power line pole to perfection!!!!!!

[@lornew5684]

Still did better than that poor guy in Saskatchewan who took out the transmission power line the other day with the quadtrac and air seeder 😮

[@7bmoose]

It happens! Keep the videos coming. Happy birthday Dax!

Thats where Degleman rollers are nice. The transport wheels fold back over the roller on them.

[@outdoorstudios2022]

thank for sharing, give rural life with ron a thumbs up for bringing me here

[@AirzGamingTTV]

Glad you stayed safe

[@marshalloutdoors1791]

Hi Brian. Good luck!

[@bryangrimes5043]

My guess is $3000-3500. Glad to see you do the right thing and stay put. Stay safe brother.

[@fleminj2pa]

Your farm operations liability policy will cover the loss from first dollar unless you have opted for a deductible.

[@debbydrach]

Wow! I hated that happened to you, but you were really smart in your handling 👍 kudos to you 👏👏👏

[@tomn7087]

Sorry, stuff happens. Smart enough to stay where you are, stay in the machine, and confident enough to show your mistakes

[@bradmorgan1234]

Our agco dealer is serving our claas 740. Ag Revolution has been awesome to deal with for us!

[@toddjohnson7972]

I know someone that hit a pole like that, the down line started a fire besides the down pole. Total bill for fire and power company was over $13000

[@Mad_Farmer912]

I've heard other YTers telling about the changes YT made to their lives. YT made the vertical screen the default. When you start a live you need to go down to the advanced settings and chage to the horizontal screen.

[@robertpappa5129]

Was hired to dig in a new culver on a county road. Rural Electric Coop came out to look at the location and stated we were OK as the indicator post showing where the cable went under the road was 50 feet away from the point the culver was going. Started digging, made it about 6 feet and came out of the trench with the bucket and looked down in the trench to see three large that cable had been pulled apart but luckly had not shorted together. Someone had placed the indicator posts wrong.

[@kenia7430]

bummer on the breaking the pole, where I farmed in Iowa we rolled beans all the time after they were up with no problem

[@glennbryant1292]

They should be able to patch the vintage poles back together but your going to pay for it

[@stevefunderburgh8852]

My brother told me, a local older farmer backed his combine into on of the power company big metal tower that was in his field. Long story short, combine totaled and tower had to be replaced, very expensive. His son was glad his dad did it and not him.

[@chipmunk94]

I thought I was watching Ron on Hartung Family Farms for a second there.

[@ryaneick8864]

New deere tractor when the challenger comes off lease and deere planter... maybe john deere would step up and set you up with a full season combo lease

[@natejast1971]

That's the cost of putting power lines above ground.

[@DonMedford-vl2yt]

That is why I think the brand of roller that Sonne Farms is using is better.

[@davemckenzie6811]

Wow. May the rest of your day not suck this badly.

[@jtn-minn8105]

Might want to check the under cab filter in cab filter, and freon level in the 84.....Our older deere like that throw ice cubes out vents.

[@maxbehringer1567]

Wax windows. When dust sticks, tap it. Clean

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

The power company just replaced some poles on the line that I get power from. You could see right through them they were cracked and split so badly. They were installed in 1935.

[@hvy1ton]

That sucks about Ohio AG. Martin and Foley Cat dropped the all their ag lines when they merged. Basically killed Challenger and Class in my area for years

[@froggienm71]

Your tires insulate you from possibly getting hit by electricity, even after knocking the pole down.

[@waggtech4883]

The iron and steel of the implement in the ground takes care of the electrical ground fault concerns…😂

[@agger838]

Dad got spray boom in lines. Smoked the tires pretty good

[@danzero50]

I believe that the power company is required to mark the guide wires with plastic sleeves.

[@timzona6829]

Must be the lack of a joy stick in that John Deere the reason you hit that power pole

[@pushpushlambert8079]

I don't know what that comment said but he sure pissed you off lol. Takes all kinds and there's one in every bar 😂

[@stevebiddle8912]

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend from Oklahoma

[@eddief3326]

a local farmer 2 years ago was wnfolding a jd spray rig and the boom landed on power lines . 30,000 , damage to spray rig. last year same thing same field same spot. when i work on a farm we had to have the power co. to raise lines so we could get under going from field to field. witch ment thay had to replace a lot of poles.

[@hughperkins707]

I know a guy that done the same thing, it cost him $25,000. 4 thousand will be cheap

[@deborahgeorge3238]

Just as it got really interesting with power people and the red farm vehicle turn up, you have to end it.

[@mikegarrett9103]

Smacked 1 a few years ago with a loader while mowing hay. Luckily insurance I keep covered it. $1,400.00.

[@jerryanderson9728]

bean ground should be rolled pre plant, you wil lose less stand

[@brianmclellan7001]

I had a neighbor back home that hit a power tower that carried 10 lines and the price was almost $50 thousand

[@andrewsaunders8252]

Many years ago on some rented ground the Cattle feeding guys had a new Mazda pickup , it suddenly had a new modified front as they drove staight centerline into the only pole in a 50 acre field pole ok , truck written off at 5 days old !!

[@joescheller6680]

They havr designated people who suppose to cover for holidays a weekends.

[@davidcoblentz7468]

We had a neighbor take down some electric services pole to house it was 15k each house.

[@kevinsiedschlag429]

Clean coils behind the seat. Should help with ac not working properly

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Turn it into your insurance. They covered my friends when he had a similar problem.

[@tompreiss5010]

Rent your own Directional Boring Machine and the electrical to your house would probably cost you around $10,000 all together plus conduit and copper😮😮😮 maybe $20,000😳😳😳

[@dedogster]

Bugger that! Heres hoping Zack has a great birthday, have yourself a beer later.

[@nathanmeece9794]

The power poles are always in the way. I was planting with a grain drill with a rope pull to raise drill.Didnt pull rope in time and somehow managed to get hung up but managed to get unhung.Another time I hit a pole with tractor front end. Fortunately I was going slow and the pole just shook.

[@HM-0410]

If there isn’t power in it why don’t they just take it out for you? Would they put it underground for you guys so this won’t happen again?

[@MrTonyharrell]

Tell them you didn’t see it. Recommend they stripe it like a candy cane!

[@ronaldfruth7134]

The boys took one out with the TurboMax on Friday. Just scuffed the paint. Took the pole completely off.

[@davidhowerton3434]

Cost me $3000 when 1 of my trucks tore one down

[@kenia7430]

Oh ya, caught a pole with a disk once, luckily it stuck in the disk and nobody lost power, caught with the outside blade on the back gang

[@Planeiron]

Oh boy I done lots of crap when I was farming

If you knew before you brought that brand of combine that dealership is no more, would you have changed brand of machine.

No reason to run a roller that close to a pole.

[@DottieMcelfresg]

Wo😢 would it be possible to come visit you and your farm

[@SlipShodBob]

If it is anything like over here I am guessing the ag forums/groups are going nuts as on TFF it usually goes nuts when John Deere axes more dealers as they are on their forth now in our area but the dealer seems to cover about a quarter of England now though given that they haven't been allowed to consolidate the number of depots I'm can't help but wonder how they can make any money with all the costs as they have more depots I believe than Sloans in the US but over a fraction of the area.

[@timblack33]

I’m not sure about England but here in the US it’s easy for the big multi store conglomerates to make money. I know they have a lot of overhead but once they buy up all the stores in their area they have no competition. In my area there used to be 4 or 5 different deere dealership’s within an hours drive. When you priced a piece of smaller equipment the dealer would make 10-12%. Now they sell for list price which is 23% margin. Not to mention the huge volume money they get every year.

[@SlipShodBob]

@@timblack33 I think what is causing issues for a lot here is Deere pushing them to put a lot of machinery on their books which is ok for tractors but most implements are an eclectic mix and most combine sales are Class with the next being NH and Agco followed by JD leaving them to have to rely on the tractor sales to cover the combine discounts part here can be dear and in the case of green and yellow combines a 3+ week wait time. But when pushed there isn't the diehard brand loyalty and if things get too expensive they move to Fendt while livestock farms tend to be more eclectic as there isn't such the need of data compatibility
