Boy did this bring back memories. I helped Farm Rescue up in N.Dakota about 10 yr ago. We were planting barley. We had a 60 JD air drill with a 3 tank seed/fertilizer behind a 12 wheel JD just like yours. We hit a slew. Unhooked the seed wagon and pulled it back. Got 2-75' 120K chains and began pulling the air drill around. We were making progress until we weren't & the tractor sank. The mud was at the tops of the wheel hubs. It took 2 JD's of the same setup 2 days later to get it out. The hitch was 3.5' deep in the mud. You know what they say, "No good deed goes unpunished"............. LOL
Mike needs a yank-um sponsorship !
Mike would definitely test it to its limits
@@nealreardonnot if he bought the right one! Lol They are actually ship mooring lines, and they can get REALLY big!
I concur captain
I was thinking the same thing!
exactly what i was thinking 😂
Mike needs a yankum
Yes and some soft shackles, these are safer in case they break
i second this, Kinetic ropes are great, plus Yankum makes a rope fit for tractor towing as well.
Reminds me of the days before straps when we used chains, wire ropes and pulley blocks to get cane harvesting equipment out of a bog. At times we would have to tow the haulout equipment besides the harvester. Remember one day a chain broke and came back at the driver missing him by inches. After that we often put a tyre on one end to act as a shock absorber. Worked well.
Reminds of when I worked for a big op in the Midwest. Had a combine sink during harvest out in the hill country. Boss was a few hours out so we hooked a chain to the 9520 and tried pulling it out. Chained snapped and ricocheted back at the tractor. Busted the back window and struck the operator in the side of the head knocking him out. Took him to the hospital and he got stitched back up and was back out in the grain cart that night. Combine got pulled out later with a strap. Chains are scary, try to never use them if we don’t have to
Congrats Shulte, you have a harrow that'll hold up to what Mike and crew will put it through :)
Always pull implement at a angle so one side will pop lose to get it started . That helped us when we broke out the CRP, enjoy your videos !
Thanks! We would have, but the John Deere's tow cable was rubbing aggressively on the inside tire.
@@mikemitchell2554😅
The problem with big equipment is you get a big stuck, Great video as always.
I've stuck them worse than that as a young operator, not knowing or listening to my old man😂😂. We would unhook that equipment/hitch pin/hydraulics, use chains and come-alongs to pick up and hold any loose cutting/smoothing/drags/harrrows, attachments out of the mud, have another tractor come around behind with a long, 2" steel cable, pull the equipment out backwards (most all soil breaking equipment has a tendency to pull down into the ground as it's cutting and digging in....a disc will rise up out of the mud if you pull it backwards). Then once that attachment is out, come around to the front of that tractor and hook that 50' 2" cable to the pad underthe front end(depending on if the mud hole gets deeper as you pull forward or bulldozing mud in front, in which case you would pull it out backwards). Much easier on all the equipment, although more time consuming. For the record i was born in The Delta of Mississippi 1968...stsrted driving tractors on my dad's 12,000 cotton/soybean farm at age 10, 1978. Black and green Mississippi gumbo...operator for the next 9 years until 1987, joined military. Came home and got right back on more, MUCH NEWER equipment. And drove tractors/combines/cotton pickers until around 2007. All these videos you see with all this equipment stuck and bogged down? I've had most if not all the same experiences in my time😂😂😂😂. I don't know it all but I know how to get a stuck ass piece of equipment out😂😂
I think mike must be one of the best guys of there to work for doesn’t get worked up about the smaller things
I now understand how he got stuck in the first place! The reaction time when Mike tightened up the strap is second to none! 😂😂
I can't believe you don't have one of yankum ropes biggest ropes in your inventory, they are worth every penny, you could have got a run start an yanked both tractor an everything out, they work like a dream, thanks for sharing
Run starts do nothing only harm. The reason this wasn't moving was because the bottom was buried in the mud and the hitch. It needed lifting at the front and ramps or something put under the wheels.
Mike is a wise operator. He knows slow and steady wins.
Had to rerun that Fendt rescuing the Deere at least five times. Thanks for the entertainment!
My thoughts after seeing the cover picture: "What has Mike gotten himself into now...?"
thanks for the good video be happy
Moral of the story, if there are cat tails don't go. Reminds me of a grain cart driver 14 years ago always had cat tails where he got stuck.
Interesting. It looks like a half of an M carburetor. I recall the M having two floats paired together instead of one float. Thanks for sharing!
Excellant job men.
Just a thought Mike, when we used to pull beet trucks around, or had something stuck bad, we had a hunk of steam pipe rigged up to lock in the 3 pt, had a truck tire on it, chain wrapped a heavy cable to the tire and then to whatever we had to pull. It allowed us to jerk pretty hard and the tire was the shock absorber. 🤷♂️. Never pulled a tire apart. 😁
Laught my ass of when donavan said I only need a metric Millometer awesome video like always mike
Fendt 1167 is a dang impressive 2track !!!
Congratulations Mike.... 👏🏻👏🏻 a pure pro! Like best Stuck of the year 🤷😬
Back up down over there when I was farmer we had a quarter of the size of equipment. Probably half the size of the fields to Sunny. You built yourself quite an empire their kid. Keep your family close. It’s good to see this day and age everybody working together like they should. Unfortunately Junior, this is getting more and more obsolete. well, hell. Way to use your head kid. God bless you and yours.
When we had equipment stuck we always pulled at a slight angle, it would pivot the stuck enough to pop it out of the hole.
Have to be very careful that you don't bend the tongue when you don't pull straight
@@toddloosli3376You’re not bending a Cat 5 hitch… they are a couple inches thick.
Exactly what I said
@@toddloosli3376 slight angle... not 90 degrees lol.. like just enough angle to get the pull tractor out of the previous ruts.
My Dad and I were moving a log cabin for a guy using our grader. We had it hooked up with a heavy duty log chain. There was about 15-20 feet of chain between the grader and the cabin and it snapped at the cabin. That chain hit the back of the grader so hard that it went through the grill and lodged itself about an inch into the radiator. I have heard people mistakenly say a chain won't snap back at you like a cable but that's most definitely not true. Thankfully for us it hit the radiator so hard it actually sealed most of the hole it made. Dad put some JB weld on the part that was still leaking and went back to work. It's amazing what you can do with a grader.
Gadzooks! The force that must’ve taken is ungodly!
We call that work spoiling rain, not enough to make you go home, just makes everything worse 😅
😂
Good job getting it all out safely. You need some big shackles to connect directly to the drawbar and hitch of implement. Stay Safe out there guys.
He does have the tow cable package on the tractor
I love how positive Mike stays
Stucks = views which = $. Not to mention this is basically kids playing in a sandbox lol
Honestly that’s what makes Mike a great boss… people actually want to be around bosses like this.
So true! And much appreciated
@@crandonborth great to see. Should be an example to others .
@brandonharlow7067 is true, but the potential damages are much higher in dollars if anything breaks .
Great entertainment Mike- harrow looks interesting
Hi from oz Mike. Although my gear is lot smaller than yours (14.5 foot seed drill 12 foot heavy offset discs) I’ve learnt that to get implement out of being bogged , I pull it at 90 degrees from its direction of travel. It pops out so easy first time every time.
Yup it’s all about leverage and not trying to pull the full deadweight all at once.
It all comes with experience and age lol.
Yup. Pull at angle which allows one side to come out first then the other, less resistance.
Found yourself a couple of runaways for farm help. Good job those boys know how to work
or caterpillar !
Best help around
Great video Mike and Donavan
Nice wiggle waggle on that harrow💪
It's bad when you pull the pin and there's water underneath!
Mike, you really need to get yourself a yankum rope. They do have some that will pull almost any amount of weight. And they do stretch a little so you can get a running pull and the kinetic energy will help get your equip out. Plus they are lighter than that big ass strap your using. Check them out. I think youll be impressed.
You never go where the cattails grow
Larson Farms have the Yakum ropes. They work very very good Mike
Those kinetic ropes are DANGEROUS ;) they turn whatever they are attached to into a bullet.
I don't think they pull drills out and you can't fold them as nicely
@@Muffin_Masher: Are you serious? Do some research! You might learn something!
@@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999 he means chains
Happy Christmas 👍
If only that tractor had a few extra tires….. 🤔
Ahh this brings back memories. I buried our steiger to the frame trying to cart corn to lighten the picker up so it could make it. It took a lot of back and forth with the disc to fill in my 4 ft deep trenches. Get your poor dirt worker a kidney belt so he doesn't suffer too bad the poor guy.
Cat tails are very good for an indicator for not where to go.😅😅😅😅
Back East, we call them marshes.
I see that Mike and his Dealer (s) still adhere to the outdated adage of "bolting every weight possible" to his tractors, which is 100% detrimental in soft conditions, not to mention anything about soil compaction. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
Every time you get stuck should be responded with spending the same amount of time & money for more drainage. If you've got to dig a bog to lower(unclog) the ground-water table then it could be part of the plans. My view is that 30% of the land should be dedicated to stormwater-drainage, though I'm no large-scale farmer.
That's the best stuck we've seen in a long time
Mike when your pulling out a stuck tractor combine or whatever lay a jacket or sweatshirt on the strap cable or rope. That way if it happens to snap when your pulling hard there is enough weight to keep it from flying up in the air and through the window.
Good idea
Dam I knew I should have went with 16 tires! 😂
That Fendt is an amazing machine.
Awesome job!
Who needs Jim when you got Donovan ?
Mike, I know you have a demo on the 715 next year cause I would love to see the 715 pulling those drills in Canada
You need A D8 for situations like this...but i would have tried to pull the tractor at a angle...seems to work better then pulling straight.
That was a nice stuck...👍. I think that requires a double stuck payment into the kitty 🤣. Put some LSWs on it.
Lord I didn’t know cat tails were up there!! We got them in South Georgia and we don’t go where they at either!!
Don’t go where the Cattail grows !!!
Whoops 😂 been there,tried to forget.had to Laugh. Got to love farming aye.
Might want to look into those big kenitc ropes, rated for over 200,000 lbs expensive but getting tractors out is not cheap, one rope working where straps break, I switched to ropes years ago,keep a few straps for light towing like 1 ton trucks and stuff not stuck bad
Couldn't help but notice no reference to the Kalahari Desert in this one lol
I’m surprised they’re so secretive about them still. We bought and still own the third ever built schulte soilstar. Dad and I had people from all over western Canada phoning and texting about it
Most deer avoid the swamps, that’s moose territory.
Lot of lessons to be learned here today.
Been there done that, got that T-shirt! I figured they would have to unhitch the tillage tool first.
I've gotten tractors so stuck you open cab door and step into mud,but that mostly happens at night. But as soon as you see mud stop it saves grief, I'll work it deep and cause more grief.
Lehra dudes getting all of mikes equipment stuck lol😂
That’s one way to do deep tillage Mike maybe one of them new case 715 units on tracks ?
In this case, the Quadtrack would also have to struggle because the slip was large. Power was never the problem here
@@gerhardma4687 quad track wouldnt miss a beat going through that.
@@ryanwebb9099 You can tell a lot, prove it to me
@@ryanwebb9099youre funny
@@AlbertaBoy745 Honestly we have had our stuck, but they genuinely don’t sink in. They just get stuck in the top 3 inches of mud and sit there and spin.
Good morning
I agree! Contact yankum rope and inquire about there 8-10” ropes the biggest ones they make are good for 100+ k lbs. the benefits are not digging up the ground, and you drive as far as you can then stop the kinetic energy is equivalent to the force applied.
It is extremely dangerous to put a clevis or chain on the end of a stretchy rope or strap. If the pin in the clevis breaks or the chain it will recoil back at extreme velocity. It will go right through a windshield or back window. I know a guy who was seriously injured in this manner. Multiple chains are only an asset if they all have load on them. If one chain is longer or stretches more it transfers more load onto the shorter or less stretchy chain.
so why not install drainage pipes to prevent the bogg? they call them field tile in my part of the US.
That's lucky I've seen a few get ripped in half trying to pull them out. Older 8wheel machines, but we started splitting them when they got as buried as this machine instead of ripping them apart
That's why we got the tow cable now ,it hooks to the back so that you can't pull it apart
We usually put the strap through the middle of a car tire to keep the strap from coming through the tractor window.
Mike lose the straps, get a Yankum. You can shock load them and that tractor would come out easy.
Pretty sure saw Ernie 2.0 sitting on the side lines looking all macho ready to be called up to finish the job. 🤷🏻♂️👍
You can’t believe how many times I got Ernie 2.0 stuck! Actually it was the 4020 with the 3pt roll over plow that got stuck and Ernie had to get it out!
Maybe when they go into production they'll have the drag sections the same color. How many revolutions of the wheels does it take to dig those wells?
One hell of a boat anchor.
Thanks to Shulte for allowing these videos.
Yup. May as well recognize what happens in real life.
Ehhh… Mike it’s a bit wet in there dont yah think… 😂😂
that guy in the deere wants dragging out and never being allowed back in there
I'm watching... it's been up for 2 days.
Looked like a good use case for a Quadtrac 715 😁
Looked like a good use for a lawnmower tractor
Always fun to play in the mud lol.
And we know that Mike KNOWS the danger of using chains that way
Looks like they need to do a bit of tiling there!!!
Usually around here we leave the wheels up and pull it around sideways
a "metric millimeter" ? 🤣 i hope he does realize there is no other type of millimeter than a metric one, but damn that's one of funniest things I've heard in all of 2023 🤣
Another place to note for some tile work.
Been a very wet October here in Michigan, that's for sure..
Don’t think that you will ever get enough grain to grow in those cat tail sloughs to get your diesel fuel costs back, but I know you have to keep your hired men busy.
Yea there is a reason the cat tails grow there...
You are a patient man Mike!! 😂
Fendti did it 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Not sure what farm GPS software Mike runs (Raven etc?. Is there a feature in the existing farm GPS software or an add-on that allows land areas to be geofenced to help prevent new operators from driving machinery into areas that they should not? Australia - farmers put Starlink mobile on the cab roof of the Quadtrac with the Agleader to do 'quick update' mapping for seeding large areas. youtube video title 'Starlink is ideal for rural locations, and farmers in Australia are putting it to good use 🇦🇺' (Tabula/ Tracmap (among their various options - contractors etc) have the TML-A system for agricultural planes - it allows pilots to simulator prefly farm operations, mark in hazards - powerlines etc with reminder in-flight warnings while flying the actual ag-plane, move the system with individual settings from plane to plane etc).

we got a tractor stuck so bad we had someone else pulled it out back in 2008 spring it was a very wet cold that time
Get a 4 inch rope Mike, could of hit that at 5mph and it would stretch 5 feet before poping you out, the kinetic energy of tow tractor would help pop the Deere out, done it lots, straps are like a cable, no stretch
Pulling on a 45° angle get one wheel up and then pull the other one out after if you pull on an angle you only pull on half the weight
Mike Lol Wow!👍 Man you Gotter Stuck
What do you do when the recovery machine gets stuck trying to pull out the first stuck rig?
I seen the harrow but looks like in it’s finished design at agri trade, i seen degalman has one now too
Those bolts on the weights do you think the weight is not pulling down tight like a burr or something and it is able to wiggle and break the bolts?
could you have put the buckle in the harrow hitch and throw the pin in it instead of the chains? or would the pin break?
I think you need a Stuck List on the North Farm, and even a Plug List for the X9 😂
Nobody would run the x9s then
