Thanks for always being transparent. That is why I love your channel.

[@frankdrahos8569]

Thanks for being willing to share your mistakes with us. In the long run we are all better for the experience.

[@FireDude13]

I hate to keep blowing sunshine up your... well... you know... but I do appreciate you sharing these learning experiences with the rest of us. Even if it only helps a couple people, it is worth swallowing a little pride so we can all learn. Thank you sir! Carry on... 🤠

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for following along

[@mikedickey7903]

Once again, appreciate showing the flubs so I/we can learn from 'em. Thanks, Brock.

[@rodbagley1686]

Your still alive and no real damage. Still a good day. Looking forward to seeing how you get it out!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's Stuck like Chuck week on KZbin!!! Several channels I watch got hung up. At least you were still smiling!

[@stevemoss1221]

You never know until you try!!!! Becoming educated!at Rockhill Farms state university. Head up chest out keep on learning and one day you will be the head professor. carry on!!!!!

[@metroplexchl]

Oh my gosh. My heart skipped a beat when you started sinking!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yeah, it sunk quick. She’s out now though. Course I’ll have a video coming up on that

[@Tdale85]

Your humility is admirable. I learn the same way, I only make the same mistake once, usually.

[@itmediaservices2400]

A refreshingly honest man. We all make & hopefully learn from our mistakes. Thanks for sharing yours!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks

[@dustysnow2502]

I was waiting for it to happen. It sucks but lesson learned. Thank you very much for letting us learn it too.

[@lonewolfFirearms]

We all make mistakes, as long as we learn from them they can be a positive. My dad would always say "Well you won't make that mistake again".

[@toddrabideau5576]

Well, things happen. Pretty sure we ALL have whoopsies. Kudos to you for showing this Brock. Keeping it real, I like it👍

[@melissasmess2773]

Thanks for sharing your mistakes so others can hopefully learn from them.

[@Jtwizzle]

Wow you have done did it this time 🤣. Would be a good time to have a certain ram truck and a winch! Thanks for showing these videos!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Exactly. All my recover gear is in the truck too

[@foonus406]

One thing I notice that may help overall with your setup is you are running 1 counterweight kit. I run a 320G which is much lighter to begin with and after adding the maximum of 3 kits I've been able to run a 37 cubic foot capacity utility bucket without tipping. Those counterweights gave noticeable boost to traction as well, I expected the back end to burry in a lot faster with them but the added traction countered this by not spinning as much to begin with. Cheapest upgrade for the machine that makes the most difference IMO. I was able to push into a pile a lot further than without them, even with a 78inch bucket instead of the 66 inch one! Note that most all of Deere's advertising demos with these units run them will all 3 counterweights equipped to truly flex the capability of the machine. Thanks for another video. Keep safe!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Definitely stuck. Sorry about that - but thanks for sharing!

[@Bobsutubes]

It's tough when you get the biggest machine on site stuck. Thanks for sharing and fortunately no one is hurt and nothing damaged. Recovery video looks to be interesting.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Right Thanks for watching

[@patriotallen9717]

Ive been on my property for less than a year. Ive gotten stuck in some form at least 10 times. Only twice did I have to get outside help. So dont feel like the lone ranger. Thanks for sharing!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for the encouragement

[@PineyWoodsHomestead]

Very good informative video Brock. Years ago I closed out two large hog lagoons. I can tell you that even after pumping all of the water out with an irrigation pump and hose reel over hay fields that they are still sloppy and you can get messed up quick. The 963 I used almost didn't get it all done with the bridge method. I still don't like filling in stuff like that and that job was 20 years ago. Great video.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks

[@marvindiamonjr.9631]

Every situation is different, but when I fill a hole, I keep the fill dirt level in the hole higher than the ground around it. The weight of the dirt on top will pack the dirt under it. And, if I do get stuck, backing up is more downhill. I've had close calls this way, but never got stuck. You can slowly track it in afterwards. There's a thousand ways to do something, and most of them will be wrong at some point. You make your choice and take your chances! Everyone eventually finds something that works most of the time. Stick with that. Demonstrating what not to do is a good way for others to learn. Isn't that why we watch KZbin? Great video!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yes sir Thanks for watching

[@OldIronAcres]

stupidity = experience, and experience = wisdom.... Brilliant video Brock!! Seriously. I would have done the same thing probably. Thanks for sharing the wise things, and the stupid things for us all to learn! -- J.Andre.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks

[@samuelmchenry6886]

At lest you had enough sense to realize when to stop. I know a lot of people that would have kept trying to get out until the roof was buried. Thanks for the video.

[@carolmoore1526]

New motto--Woulda, coulda, shoulda

[@mikegraziano1562]

I was thinking before you got stuck, he should have put some markers in the ground so he knows where the edge is so he doesn't do that again....and then you went to far LOL! Good luck getting her out!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

trying to catch up on your videos, old one here, nice

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Sunk like a rock. That hole had no bottom

[@mrrodneyalong]

Time plays a factor in these situations- the dirt when first pushed in is soft but you can usually get accross but as the dry dirt become saturated it changes consistency. I have done this several times now so I have figured out that After 5 min the ground in the whole is quick sand

[@thewayidoit8895]

on your truck issue. availability was the problem dont beat yourself up. I'm 60 years old. Had 2 7.3 powerstrokes before my current cummins. You do need at least a 3500 with a high payload rating. Not necessarily for towing but for stopping. You want leaf springs. you really should have the Aisin. Check out some PD diesel videos. Watching him made me feel comfortable enough to buy a dually with 330k miles. Sure its needed a couple things but its been a great truck and I couldn't get anything close. Actually the lady that sold it to me had a Ford to sell as well. I think I went the right direction. "they" say that the transmission you have can be made bullet proof but your problem was a fluke. Whatever the reason a fluke. Good luck and keep us informed.

[@slfox804]

think you save my life have the same job to do 12x 15 by 10 deep on property was figuring out what to do . pump water out first by any means thank you

[@eliteearthworksllc]

The best thing to do in situations like this if you can’t pump the water out is pick on side or corner and just push all the dirt from the pile to that spot. It will force most of the water out and allow you to keep working your way out on it. It’s when you started dumping buckets all around it you trapped the water in those areas. Good learning experience

[@richscott2952]

That’s a great machine you have there but for further options I would hop in my ASVRT 75 and Walk On Water

[@andrewanderson1436]

We live and learn every day from first hand experience. We also learn from others first hand accounts. Their are right ways and wrong ways. Getting one those machines stuck and un stuck is not fun. I have been cleaning land with a mulcher and sunk on dry land because of an odd water table about 2ft down and wait 8hrs for a dozer to come pull me out. Now for me not having anything else to do it would have been a playing the mud thing for me and a continued work thing. Later on after you get it out you will be laughing about it with everyone. It happens sometimes. I see this a lot in the military having to go recover trucks and equipment.

[@davidash7536]

Love the honesty, but really we all make these type of mistakes.

[@parkerscherf7560]

Whoops 😅 I would have done the same thing man. I probably would have dug a trench with the backhoe first though. Got a wireless remote for your badlands winch? Hook it up to your truck and winch as you run the machine? Kinda curious how your going to get it out with what you have. Maybe you’ll get a wrecker? Lol or a bigger tractor from down the road?

[@drmarkintexas-400]

🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏. Thank you for sharing

[@bobstranzenbach4700]

I wouldn’t say you were dumb. It seemed intuitive to do it like you did. You live and learn.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks

[@number40Fan]

That should be interesting to see how you get it unstuck.

[@billfenner7084]

I wonder how much it costs to get it done. I hope that he doesn't have to get a huge expensive wrecker or larger tractor for recovery.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

1/4 mile down the road the guys who bale my hay have big tractors I’m not expecting a big ordeal

[@LightZone9]

Why is it always at the very end that disaster strikes. It's that need to make things just a little bit better that get us in trouble. I can't tell you how often I have finished a project then gone back to tweak it only to make it worse. When that skid steer sunk I actually let out an "oh NOOOOO".

[@RockhillfarmYT]

[@paulcasefarms9933]

I cant say I would have done any different.

[@billfenner7084]

Just as long as you learned a lesson. How not to do this. Now much did it cost you to get it out of there. Never spin the tracks very quickly in mud . Personally I would have stopped ,and let it dry out of awhile before finishing it.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

My first reaction wasn’t the best one A neighbor is bringing up a big tractor tonight to pull it out

@@RockhillfarmYT Okay. I figured that you are going to be needing a big tractor for getting it out of the mud.
