if jacking done properly no problem seems like people trust path ways and concrete roads are built for 5 ton per wheel so one must allow the small area of those leg pads never strong enough to stand 10 ton on a small pad iv seen cranes go over jacking pad on side walk again stressed for humans and cars.

“I knew it would go pretty easy” Never have wiser words been spoken…

If it weren’t for potentially life threatening projects like this, farming would be boring. Becky’s candid comment at the end was priceless. Reminds me of the reactions I get from my own better half. 😊

6:51 "I knew it would go pretty easy". Your dad doesn't say much, but this was golden.

"I knew it'd go pretty easy" - Nate He's the best.

I love how Jim sank the trailer, and then no where to found! Jim is a very smart man! Always entertaining for sure!

Straps, come alongs. Cables to pulleys to other trucks or tractors. Had to do all of this growing up on the farm. Get gravel out of a pit to get things out. Been there done that. All part of the farm life. For what it’s worth our dad was a technician at MIT in Boston. He had to learn things like everyone else. Trial and error. His dad was a heardsman in Germany. Our dad had to try dairy farming. You your dad and your family are fantastic. Get it done, draw on past experience and try new things. Think outside the box. My dad use to say “ If you have failed you have striven if you have striven you have lived”. You and your family are the best example of self reliance and a great example of being an American farmer. I have tried to pass these qualities on to our grandchildren. You guys are great.

I've always gotten away with unhooking loaded trailers on timber rail sleepers. 1ft wide, 2 - 3 inches thick and long enough to go under both legs, spreads the weight far better.

Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 🤩 Just from the title, I was shaking in my knees. I’ve been there…twice. Trailers of the 40-50s were notorious for being dropped. I had to run and get the wrecker for that one! Yes, we had a wrecker. 🥰 But I was sweating bullets!!! My 2nd trailer had a broken sleeve on the dolly leg. Had to use a jack to raise it, cut a hole in the leg for adding a pin. What memories to have. Using the dump valve on the truck was a big help. At least you had several blocks to help as well. Another day in the life of trucking. Hey, the wife made me laugh…”Another sunken trailer rescue?” Seemed like she held back a laugh on that one. Who knows. I was feeling for ya, even though it was meant to be a training video…or was it. Practice makes perfect. Either way, Good Job! Now you need to cover the bit about the gears on that trailer…we’re they damaged? Blessings!

That might be a good place to pour a cement pad or sink an I-Beam in the ground to drop trailers on. We have 24" diameter 1/2" thick plates with handles welded on we roll in to place for when we drop trailers in questionable areas.

Now you've learned a good lesson in dropping a trailer. What do you think old plough disks are used for? In OZ just about every farmer uses them under the landing legs. We've al learned the hard way too.

Well done and very glad no one got hurt. Thanks for sharing

Comment of the day! “I knew it would go pretty easy!” Welcome to farming!

I am relieved to know that I am not the only one who has these kinds days

At the grain elevator i worked for we welded a piece of c-channel under the pads on the legs. 12" wide x 2" x 3/8" thick. We used to have to drop a lot of trailers in the fields for them to be loaded by area farmers combines. Before we would get calls all the time by drivers going to the fields to get the trailers and finding the kingpin in the dirt. It didn't eliminate all issues but it cut down on the issues drastically and this was in the fields.

Zach, your father is an inspiration for me to handle messed up situations better. See, I even used better language there!

Love how your Dad said " that was pretty easy" LOL 😆

Great job. Been there, done that. mine was nose on the ground.

Firefighter paramedic here. Cribbing. A 4x4 cribbing doubled up has 4 points of contact at 6,000lbs per contact. 4x4 cribbing has 24,000lb capacity. 6x6 cribbing has 15,000lbs per contact or 60,000lbs total. Criss cross every layer. And capture all of your progress on lifting so that if it breaks momentum doesn’t increase force. Also, try to stay on at least one foot instead of both knees so you can bake if you need to. Steel plates with handles might be on order. Our ladder trucks have 4 supports for a 107ft ladder. The weight of the truck is pushing 60,000 lbs and the plates hold that plus those forces of the ladder. Might be nice to have on hand.

What we did for our trailers parked in the dirt was poured a 2 foot by what ever width by a couple feet deep concrete pad to put out landing gear on.... worked like a charm, kinda like a footer for a house ... just a idea from one truck owner to another... love the videos and stay safe my friend

The extreme weight is one reason that the block exploded. But the main reason is that the load was being applied parallel to the grain of the wood. However the structure of the trailer dictated that the block be turned in that manner. When possible while using a wood block, make sure the load is applied across the grain and not with the grain.

Great job zac! If you own a big rig for any time you’ll understand the problems! Keep them coming! 👍🏻🔥🏁

i think you should go to a jacking firm and gain experiance should call your video's HOW NOT TO JACK SEMI;S.

Go to your local utility co and ask them for some old wire spools. The bigger ones. 4 to 5 foot diameter. The end disks for the spools are double thick hard wood and work great for spreading the load under the landing gear in soft areas. Double them up for extra heavy loads. We jacked a huge generator trailer under the fifth wheel and used the spool ends under the landing gear. Worked great. The trailer was parked when the ground was frozen and come spring sunk in about a foot.

Zach you and your Dad did the wise thing . Blocks on rear frame has worked several times for others I know . Be safe and thanks for your videos and knowledge sharing. Stay safe Bob from 🍁🇨🇦 when I shut down at night I look forward to yours and other videos 🙂

Bet Zach had a load of fresh jeans for the laundry when that Jack let go with him that close by.

When everything fails go back 15 yards and punt. Great job.

When I was younger on the farm, I took a lot of risks. I feel lucky to have survived considering some of the dumb things that I did. This is one of those situations that could have turned out poorly…

I want the un-edited story of this “ADVENTURE” on the next off the husk podcast!

Zac you and you're Father did a excellent job "rescuing" that semi trailer under those very difficult conditions, I use to drive trucks all over Australia and I have seen that same thing that happened on a bitumen roads many times, even on concreted areas. The only suggestion I have is to put a wide and thick piece of timber under the "landing " legs to spread the weight over a larger area, unless you know that there is a very good base under the "landing "legs. A very good video Zac and good to see that no damage was done and no one was injured.

When I worked in an apple orchard in North Carolina in my youth. The trucking company would deliver a flatbed and drop it in the loading yard. Before loading the trailer we put a 6 x 6 under the landing gear. Not a block on either side, but across between the feet. Never had an issue. Wet or dry it was standard practice. FYI, You and Dad made it look pretty easy.

Maybe start a new channel “Millennial Trailer Rescue”. Never a dull moment on the farm. Keeps up the great videos!

I’ve clamped vise grips to the shaft that connects the two jacks together and was able to lift and lower the legs if high and lower doesn’t work. If you need a pair I’m sure Derek has a pair he can lend ya.

As a truck driver myself I can definitely say been there - done that. Using the truck to lift it if possible is easiest way to do it, for sure. Good job guys!

He had the same issues and he built some steel pads with fork holes so he can move them with the loader and forks. Just a idea bud. As always WORK SAFE 😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lmao this is great! "Professional eh"

Get a 3/4" steel plate 4'x8' and drop loaded trailers on that it wont sink we dropped log trailers with 40 ton on them and they stay upright best part is you can move the plate where needed

It's always good to do a refresher course. Keeps you updated with latest recovery techniques 🤣

Said this in that video where your sprayer trailer sank. Make 3 foot by 3 foot dolly pads. Make them from 2x12 material. You want them to criss cross each other going 3 layers. A single board under a loaded trailer just is never enough support, doesn't matter if the ground is dry or wet, it's going to sink without proper support. Besides, once you make them, you can carry them around, they'll be heavy but, worth the money to make and will keep you from having this issue. When I was a yard jockey for over 20yrs, this what we did, we had plenty of trailers sink until we started using those pads. No concrete needed, just 2 x 12 lumber.

Good video. High gear on the landing gear won't lift a loaded trailer.
