How Did This Happen?

Thanks for the encouraging words from Gods word. You're a real role model for dads and husbands.

Motorcycles? Heck Yeah!

jack is a level 15 berserker. he did well

Trailer wheels were just flexed because you were in the middle of a turn with a heavy load when you stopped. At least that's what it looked like to me. Hopefully nothing was damaged.

I have always learned to choke the around it’s self so it pulls tight and then tie a piece of towel in the middle so if the chain slips it will bind up in the towel and mitigate problems with a flying chain

Keep the videos coming. God bless you and your family.

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” - Matthew 19:26 There is no situation too difficult for the Lord to walk us through. We have to keep taking the next step forward with him, trusting that he will carry us through. Don’t be discouraged by the failures of men. Be reminded that God is able to do great things even in the most impossible seeing .

From fake homesteader to preacher. .

I yelled at the screen. Nooooooo. Whats the correct answer? Use the backhoe front bucket to lift and pull the log off. This way the support pieces under the back of the trailer are still in operation. That backhoe would have pulled that log off easy as.

Keep spreading the big lie.

That will be a beauty of a spot for a log mill! Sometimes those crazy floods happen. Like the once every 20 year floods! Be safe and great video

How do you learn all this shit?

Top Marks...all around...! I've just discovered your channel, through the Granberg sawmill video; sorry, I'm a few years behind, (I've been kind of busy). The info you provide is phenomenal... I was raised on a ranch/farm, by folks who survived the Depression Era/WWII; they were extremely self-reliant and possessed an "inner toughness". What you present displays that same self-reliance and toughness; and though (because of my upbringing) I understand most of the things you present, I still learn from you... So, I thank you for the time and energy your family spend in producing these vids. But I must say, I love how you teach, both by your example and by your kind encouragement, something seldom seen these days. And I love your words at the end of this video, esp as the US goes through these difficult times; the polarisation, the anger, the frustration people feel as they experience a lack of control... I've spent two lifetimes (at least) in service to the US (in service to the world, for that matter), in extreme hostile environments (over 26 yrs in the Mid East alone), and I have learned that the world is always going through difficult times. This is indeed spiritual warfare. But, our Father has seen kingdoms, empires, countries, governments, come and go; yet, He has not fallen from His throne, and the world He created, has not stopped spinning...as that childhood song goes: "He's got the whole world in His hands..." May our Lord bless and keep you, make His face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you, lift-up His contenance unto you and give you peace...!

Unmentioned in this video, two people learned how a tandem axle trailer moves and flexes under load. The way those axles were is completely normal.

Trailer axle being bent is a result of the tandem axle being torqued while turning especially under load. That is normal your trailer ok!!

Thank you for your message brother

Very powerful message at the end. Thank you for that. I feel I needed to hear it and I’m glad I did. God bless

Jack is already a very capable young man.

Its been ages since I've watched this channel, man, jacks really grown up, i think the last video i saw him in was when you were teaching him fire safety with a bunch of local kids

I think he meant 18 East Coast guys with their incredible strength. :-)

Much of your content I enjoy. All of it, really. And not many times do I take exception with it. But today, telling people they shouldn’t worry about tomorrow because there’s nothing they can do about it is not how the country came to be. In fact, it’s that very attitude that has sent the country into the death spiral it’s in. People are right to worry and perhaps guiding them to channeling that worry into action would be a better message. I’m sure you didn’t intend it to be as simple as it came across but it did come across that way. Worry isn’t necessarily bad. Worry without actions would be. Thank you for what you do. Be well.

Put the first log perpendicular to the one you're pulling off the trailer to use as a roller. Just a woman's point of view.

I like watching you and Jack work he has become quite the man. Can you run a hydro unit in the river?

Your and Mrs. W. are such good parents and educators.

What happened to the axle?

God bless you.

Another wonderful video. Amazing how quickly you can make 20 minutes pass.

You need a trailer with heavier axles.

I love the love showen between you and Jack. Your parsing him and teaching. Then laughing at the jokes "12 Viking lifting the logl

Looks like you need to put some drainage in for that water. Got lots of low spots...heck just pull up that driveway bring in some dirt to level and pure another...look at me spending your money. I'm just poking you a little.

The tractor could've picked up the end of the log still on the trailer and the trailer could be driven out from under the log with much less chance of damage.

Wranglerstar please be careful with using chains. You already know a chain is as good as it’s weakest link. But I had a buddy killed from a chain breaking. Trying to pull a truck out and when the chain broke it cut his leg off and he bled to death before they could get him to the hospital. Now there was a stat trooper standing next to him and if he didn’t have his vest on it would have killed him to. They said that chain hitting him was the same as getting shot with a 9mm Even with the police there my buddy still passed away. Use cables or nylon chokers allot less chance of getting hurt plus you can see damage to them and pitch them if they are damaged.

Well done Jack. You and your dad working as one. A pleasure to watch.

A minister once told me that "worrying is enjoying a crises before it happens". I've never forgotten those words.

your in a turn parked

Jack has the ultimate resume!!!!

It was always a joy hooking up the flatbed with dad and going to run errands, you never knew what trouble we were in for!

Romans chapter 8 is a must read each day.

Thanks for the reminder

That “motorcycle stuff” is great. Would love to see more!

We want snowbike action and moto action!!also maybe a Cody reposnds to mean comments lol with the glasses..

Trailer is probably fine, my dual axle trailers flex like that too when turning under load, pretty normal.

Another great video and moreover thank you for the good words!! We all need words of encouragement and we all need to be taking one day at a time. God bless your family and our country ❤️

I live in a apartment. No room for much extra Supplies any tips?

Great job removing those huge logs! Awesome

Teachable moment some logs on the backside of the trailer would've let that roll off but hindsight is 20/20

Tires are like that because you were turning... the rubber flexes... I drive truck and our trailer tires do the same thing.

Sorry to say the chain you set up as a "Choker" Was not set up as a Choker.... You should have looped the chain around itself and latched it back on itself.. So it "Chokes" itself.... just they way we use to do it on the farm. And the chain had way to much chain to the tractor.

Thank you for that message I really needed to hear that. God bless you and your family.

Hi Cody, I'm sure you probably already know this but if you don't, I'll tell you. An old farmer taught me this. When you want to choke a log with a chain, take the grab hook end and wrap it around the other end of chain that you looped around the log and hook it to itself. Then when you pull, it will actually sinch down on the log and make a choker. The end of the chain will have a loop at the end of it. I thought it was pretty smart of that old farmer. Wish he was still around.

love the bike content so more of that please!!!!!!!!!!. still bitter about the recluse clutch though. takes away some of the user control and experience. just like a automatic transmission in a car, its just not the proper way of doing it

Love your Closing! The Kingdom is near!

Would be nice to see some dead weight on the chain so if it breaks it won't come throught the windscreen of the tractor.

Never knew those binders were not good anymore. Everyone used to use them. I have for years, just make sure to hit it a few times to make sure it’s really engaged. Never had a problem with one. We use a big pipe to set and release them

Kevin is correct. You absolutely did NOT damage your trailer.

Good video Big log problem ... Simples before pulling big log away place an old scaffold board on the ground so it slides along the old scaffold board... your way, I would chock the log next to the trailer ( look after you trailer) then floor it. load of fun.

That little tractor does amazingly well. I notice you put the backhoe out as a counterbalance.

Just a normal trailer "tire scrub" from two non-turning axels, so because of the fact they do not turn they have to flex under the load of the pivot point which is between the two tires. So in short its totally normal to see this on trailers.

So..... how did the trailer fare? Did it survive or did the axle bend?

Motorbike stuff is always interesting and popular!

Twin axle wheels will scrub on curves pulling the rear wheels sideways. Your tyres looked correct after you stopped in a straight line.

Man, Jack's looking hot. Is Calvin Klein missing an underwear model?

‘Doing what’ teenager 100% 😀😀😀

You just had the wheels side loaded from your turn. Just straighten out the truck and all will be fine. With a heavy load, always try to end with a straight moment, pull past and back up straight if you have to. This is very common on RVs, but you should never leave them parked like this, always straighten them out like I said. If you drive would have been gravel or sand, they wouldn’t have been so pronounced.

Nothing wrong with your axles. This happens when you have a heavy load and are turning the trailer. Your pivot point is between the two axles. So on the side that you are turning toward, the tire on the front axle is being dragged toward the trailer and the tire on the rear axle is being drug away from the trailer. And the opposite is happening on the other side of the trailer. As soon as you start going straight again, your tires will straighten up.

Yes most definitely people are interested in watching stuff that has to do with motor cycle or snow bike mechanic projects !! Or at least I am

try a ratcheting binder on a log truck it don't work

I love this, I really enjoy learning. It's amazing how much one man can know.

That's some manly work there. Really cool.

Have plenty of ammo and my Nick's boots are on the way.

I hope what you say is correct sir.

I applaud the professionalism! Its always nice to see a Tradesman passing knowledge on with simplicity and directness.

That Yanmar is nothing short of amazing and Jack did a wonderful job, showing the skill to tame it. I hope your trailer is okay. I love the motorcycle stuff BTW 👍

Nice tailgate

Thanks for all the great videos!! I’m not sure how you ever get anything done, with all the different camera angles

You are an awesome father explaining to your son the process of unloading those logs.I wish every father in the world could see how patient you are at giving him direction and what would or could happen. I love how you give him the opportunity to problem solve also. Also when this whole virus thing inflicted it's fear on America I immediately recognized what was happening. I have not lived in fear (I'm 67 yrs. old) one bit since the news media told us we're all going to die. God is in control and He will get us through this! God Bless you, your family,God Bless President Trump and God Bless America!!

Reminds me when I was in high school, I ran a forklift at a farm store. A guy came and bought 4 pallets of salt at about 4 tons. I loaded 2 and asked him when he was coming back for the other two. He called me a dumb kid and said put all 4 on his dinky trailer. I obliged. He had to bring another trailer back to pick his 1st one up with a broken axle and 3 flat tires. 😀

His son has such a deep voice

Just pull forward...

I never had a dad, if I did I would of wanted him to be just like you🏆

5:50 big brain time for me. Guess you learn something new everyday!

because you touch yourself at night!

Turning the truck and trailer causes the wheel and tires to do this. It is common.

You alluded to this more than once, but just to reiterate - things will "work out" and things will be okay, but remember, this is an eternal promise and not, in all cases, a temporal one. God is in control and will not give us more temptation and evil than we can handle, but circumstances in this fallen world will bring trouble. Our joy is our hope in the eternal. If you had asked Paul as he sat in a dark Roman prison awaiting execution if things were working out for him, he would have probably said something like,, "Yes - for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

Where’s the hood? Did Mrs wranglerstar make you throw it away.? Mika

Haha Jack, 15 Vikings! I thought the same thing as Jack, cinch closer and pull up and off. When Cody said drive the truck forward my mind was like 💥

Wait.... you blocked the trailer to avoid bending the tail of the trailer.... but then you pulled the trailer out from underneath. That’s exactly what I would have done... 😂

Wow, Jack looks so much like his mom! Way to go dad, keep him close and download all you can for him to carry that torch wisely when it’s his turn. I swore when getting married in 92 after being with the same girl for five years that I would do better than my dad. I say this because he walked out on us when I was six. My two boys have questioned me as they’ve grown into men as to why I’m always teaching them then standing back to watch how they do things. I’ve told them to try and imagine not having any guidance at all, how tough would it be then? I’m very proud of them because they’ve rewarded me ten fold by growing into fine young men that understand respect and family first. My oldest is going to be a dad next summer, my younger son is a veteran and my youngest or “my lil girl” is now a mom too giving me my first grandchild. She came up behind me as I was cuddling him in my recliner and said “I bet grampy can’t wait to get you out in the shop to teach you all about everything he knows.” Funny, I was thinking/day dreaming about that very thing lol. We only want what’s best for our kids and when we get it it’s so rewarding. I never look for it, I only want to know that they now know whatever it is and they’ll carry it forward to their own. God bless you and yours Cody. Thanks for taking us along. Did I mention how much Jack looks like Mrs W?! Just WOW Lol

Great job Jack, I'm nervous just watching! Cody the state of your drive has me wondering who on earth did that. 2 inches of standing water where you want to park is bad for the lady's nice shoes!

While driving out from under was easier and worked it kind of shoots the cribbing protecting the trailer and hitch in the foot.

The binders aren’t the problem,it’s the fact you ran the chains over those flimsy 2x sides instead of using the welded D rings already on the trailer. Other than that great vid . How did you keep the camera dry?

Love the training.

Super useful tractor!!💪

Those binders are fine as long as you wire the handle down once bound.

Beautiful message at the end, Cody. Thanks.

Amen brother.

You are a very good teacher!! I pray for half the patience you have. Great channel.

Good words brother!

Come on Cody! Jack could have STARTED with “...or you could just jump in the truck and hammer it...”

I too believe in the truth of the Good Book. Our beliefs will differ slightly but I do hope to get to meet you and your family on the other side at some point. Your words are encouraging and I appreciate that. Stay safe. Stay humble. Stay faithful. All the best.
