Do Not Attempt This! Our Timpte hopper bottom trailer sunk into the driveway and made us awfully nervous for a bit. Luckily things turned out well. We are in the market for some railroad ties to use for next time...

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

@raypitts4880 3 года назад

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.

@davidanalyst671 3 года назад

I think this is the third block that was destroyed under the weight of a loaded trailer. They had wood under the first one i think, and this video had two blown blocks. Can we get millenial to stop putting wood under loaded trailers? And if the jack on the trailer screwed up, thats super sus, and needs to be looked at.

@bruceraggett4506 3 года назад

Under the top pad of a jack only a thin bit of cardboard or ply to give friction between metal to metal joint. All the packing under the jack with a wide base. Honestly the cardboard trick works well. simple, but it saves lives.

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.

@n12et 3 года назад

I see everyone telling you to pour concrete to unhook loaded trailers on but that will limit you on where you can leave them. 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. You recovered it well considering how sunken she was.

@JohnyAngelo 3 года назад

Yeah one piece of timber like that is like makes it way more secure.

@alberthinds78 3 года назад

You got to realize that block had 12-20,000 LBS. [divided max driver weigh by 2] ALL in a 2 inch area. I have seen concert blocks, even road divider explode like that under similar pressure on a very small area.

@agentcrm 3 года назад

If you have a look at the top of the jack, there was a huge amount of load on a very small area. So that's always going to be a risk when you put timber on that.

@raypitts4880 3 года назад

should call it DONT DO IT THIS WAY.

@ericgunter45 3 года назад

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.

@stevenbrown5572 3 года назад

Just a suggestion in areas where you tend to have trailers parked or have a dedicated area for them and have some concrete pads poured for the landing gear to sit on. Enjoy the channel!

@lunasilvermoon2283 3 года назад

Poured concrete is too expensive.. especially if it's done half-assed it's gonna crack over time cause of all the weight. it's cheaper for Zach to see if a solid concrete beam to dig into the ground. like a 2 x 1 ft girder (perhaps with steel in it) they use in construction. only need a ft or 2 for the pads to stand on.

@jwenting 3 года назад

or steel plates. Can move them around to where you need them too with the skidsteer or telehandler. And I mean like 6x6ft plates at least, half an inch or more thick.

We also used metal 55 gallon barrels under the tongue of the trailers to keep them from sinking. A forklift can raise the barrel if needed.

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!

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.
