Somewhere hereabouts there's a WWII-era training video on getting tanks unstuck from mud. As I recall, the trick is to take a good-sized tree trunk and tie it to the tracks. Then, as the tank tries to move the tracks, the tree trunk sticks in the mud, spreads the weight out, and stays in place, letting the tank move.

Thanks Zack, great video. The drain tile and control structure installation reminded me of my Master's research project 40 years ago in eastern N.C. We were looking at losses of N and P from surface and subsurface agricultural drainage systems. We referred to the control structures as "flash board risers". And just as you explained, we added or removed flash boards to control the depth to the water table in the field.

Nice clean water coming out of the tiles

Almost 40 years ago, I led a platoon of four tanks across a 4 foot concrete culvert 6-8 feet of dirt and gravel above. As the last tank was crossing the land beneath his right track fell away and there was nothing but air beneath four of the seven road wheels. The tank was listing to starboard and looked like it might flip over. My company commander was there in minutes, soon the battalion commander and then the brigade commander arrived by helicopter. For a long time, they discussed holding the tank level with a chinook helicopter while winching it forward. Finally, the company commander, a previous Battalion Maintenance Officer, said, “Let’s just winch it out the way it went in, that’s always the rule.” In minutes the tank was free. I never forgot the lesson. By the way, in those days we never downloaded our main gun ammunition.

Thanks for another great video. This video was absolutely one of the best I have seen. Appreciate your work Zach filming all of this. The equipment that was stuck was really stressful just watching it let along owning the equipment. Wow. That is the worse I have seen equipment stuck in the mud. No bottom to it. Good for people to see that do not farm to see what a farmer goes thru trying to harvest. We have been stuck before but nothing anyway close to this. Wow. The combine came out easier that the tractor. Just unbelievable to see this. Heartfelt thanks Zach for showing this to us. My heart goes out to the farmer that had that equipment stuck. Hard to take. Now to Randy’s equipment. I find his operation really interesting. The big piece he operates is quite the machine. Wow. Really interesting how they lay that pipe and the crew that follows Randy’s big piece. They all know what to do and how it all fits to. My compliments to Randy and his crew of people. Thanks Zach for filming his operation. Found it most interesting. The stuck equipment and Randy’s operation made for a absolutely great video. Thanks for all of your work. The Polaris machine you are using seems to be a handy unit. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything.

it's amazing that the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary for farm and food production are overlooked and marginalized by our politicians as well as the personal capital/money that farmers put at risk .... and all at the whim of mother nature... one of my favorite quotes from a french philosopher named voltaire (who was friends with ben franklin) is "no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible".... this video made me remember the song "raindrops keep falling on my head" by b.j. thomas and something my grandpa always said " you want somethin' done then ya gotta get behind the mule".... btw, that soil is sure pretty... i'd plant my seed in it .... i think it's also amazing that where i'm from you get in trouble if you try to retain water on your land and where you're at you can get in trouble for getting water off your land...

In all you video's I see the 3 liftmaster remotes on the visor and you can easily simplify that. If the truck has a built in homelink transmitter you can program each button to replace one remote if you are using each remote to operate a single opener. As long as each remote is only being used for one gate or one door you can consolidate those remotes into one remote. Each liftmaster remote can operate 3 separate doors.

Zack, I really enjoy your videos and your commitment to educating the public of food safety and the good life of living on the farm. I’m a fourth generation farmer and a retired State Executive Director with the Farm Service Agency /USDA and I have the greatest respect for your messaging. I always said, a farmer has so many challenges from worrying about securing financing for land acquisitions (ownership or leasing), raising cost of seed and fertilizer as well as equipment cost, then if you get a crop planted, will the good Lord provide favorable growing conditions to make a crop, and if a crop is made will there be a strong market to be able to meet your financial obligations. I wish you a belated Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2022 farming year. God bless you and your family and “keep it between the rows”. Tim

Randy is the man

This is the glamour of farming that people don't understand !!!

I know that farmers run into wet spots in the field and get stuck from time to time. I’ve had my share of getting stuck. But I’ve never buried a piece of equipment that bad. When you’re stuck you’re stuck, don’t make it worse. My father taught me to stop spinning the tires and burying the equipment early on.

Ya just gotta say, “Thank God it’s not me”. Damn they sunk that Quad and combine. I remember one old farmer back in the late 70s sunk his tractor and just walked away after a D6 Cat couldn’t get it out. Came back after it dried off some and dug it out with a backhoe, about a month later.
