ummm am I the only one in the comments that's thinking.. atleast Timothy is safe . atleast Timothy didn't get hurt really bad.these drivers out here act like they own the whole dam road.im glad you're safe an not hurt Timothy.
Panhead49EL yep dash cam wouldve showed the truck that tim says hit him and could file a hit n run i drive a f350 10ft flatbed dually truck and i got hit n run by a ford taurus no damage to my truck since its a steel flatbed wonder about the car though lol
Im probably one of the few dummies that enjoy being stuck behind slow moving farm equipment . It brings back some of the good memories from the old days.i always stay back far enough for the stupid people in a hurry to pass me then take their chances of passing the tractor or whatever im following . Plus hanging back that far lets the farmer know im in no hurry.plus it gives me more of a chance to enjoy the scenery
Tony Aguilar hey...I'm the same way.we all need to respect an love each other....even on the roads.show respect to the farmers and truck drivers...they are the reason you will be eating dinner tonight.much love from West Virginia.🙏🙏👍👍💪💪💯💯
I'm just glad that the young man isn't hurt.glad you are doing good Timothy.sorry that it's gonna be expensive but at least he's safe.be safe out there and take care of yourself and your family.much love from West Virginia.🙏🙏💪💪👍👍🍀🍀💯💯
Out where I live we don't have farmers.. we have the opposite - logging trucks. It is best to get out of their way because they fly, cruising 65 in a 55 just to get those extra 1-2 loads in by the end of the day. I love 'em! Damn good business, damn hard workers and I am more then happy to share the road and give right of way to either farmers or loggers!
Had a similar thing happen when I was 16 a few years ago. I stayed out of the ditch, but I had to get new pants. Big jacked up pickup dick head, thought he'd pass me up a blind hill. Three separate skid marks from him, my tractor, and the car, proved our innocence. I'm afraid people will only get worse. I'm in middle of nowhere wisconsin. They're everywhere. Stay safe you guys.
I'm glad Tim is ok...that sucks when you have literally no time to react and that much mass moving at 20mph. Ive had that almost happen to me several times...it blows my mind that people don't slow down when they see huge equipment on the road.
Having the same problem in southeast Michigan. People drive to fast for road conditions, and tailgating. You have to be really careful making left turns into the fields too. When you slow down to turn they will try to pass when you turn.
Dan W not only left turns but right turns also. One day a few years ago my brother was towing some wagons and he needed to turn right, so he had to swing left to get the wagons into the driveway and as he was doing so a car tried to PASS HIM ON THE RIGHT. He almost drove the wagons over the car.
The most important thing is Tim is still in 1 piece. All else is secondary. It is a nice bonus to find all the rest of the stuff that was ready to take a dump on your parade.
Glad Tim is OK. People need to give these guys some room and respect on the road. Everyone is in too big of a damn hurry in most places or just plain couldn't drive if they had to. Every time I get on the road with a tractor, within minutes I have someone crammed under the ass end wanting to pass where they can't, so I pull off to the side and they go maybe 1/4 mile down the road and turn off. For the life of me I cannot understand what the hell is wrong with people like this. 20 years ago I didn't have much problems at all and now, it's dangerous running tractors and equipment down the road.
Well I'm glad to see Tim is alright. You gotta watch non farm people on the roads, doesn't matter if you're in New Jersey or the middle of Ohio farm country. At least there wasn't any major damage to the tractor. My cousin got in an accident about a year or so ago that wiped the whole front axle off the tractor. Stay safe out there.
Same thing is happening everywhere. People don't care just wanna get to their destination. Except out here the equipment is so large the car usually loses
I'm glad Tim is okay. And you should see the bad drivers here in California. But on the other hand, some of the big farmers think they own everything and won't let you pass. The small farmers always let people pass. By the way, what is with the anvils. They are worth more than gold here. Small 100 pounders are over $300. I glad I was able to obtain one when I did (I got it at an auction and paid too much ). I hopefully will get my Dad's. Also, no matter how diligent you are about maintenance, something still gets over looked. But that is what winter is for, maintenance.
Thanks for the video. Same thing here in upper state N.Y. Had a citiots pass me on a curve with my tractor on a partially snowy road. Glad everyone is o.k.
I bought a used 7710 sight unseen and it came with a broken exhaust. It had burned the battery cables and some other parts. New stack was 450 gbp the short pipe with the coating was 350 gbp.
Dashcam in each tractor is great to catch idiots. There are tool boxes that you can have on the front that functions as a counter weight, and also as a bumper to stop your tire from catching and climbing when you hit some thing/one.
Good day Boy when Tim smiles I see my son smiling, I have to laugh,when he smiles Too bad, I drive back roads here in Ont. & what really gets me on gravel roads, they think middle is there's and then you have to pull over even more. Thanks
Glad to see Tim is ok and the tractor is fixable. Yes it’s the same here in good old Canada. Everyone is in a super hurry to go now where. Defensive driving is a must to teach our new generation of drivers.
Sadly, driving in NJ (probably other places, too) has made dash cams a necessity for protection from liability in accidents like Tim described. As others have written, at least he's OK.
Here in Iowa the former Bachelor of the Year, Chris Soules, rear ended a tractor and killed the 66 year old farmer driving it. He then was charged with "hit and run". The case still hasn't come to court and Soules lawyers are fighting the charge. Sadly, the farmer is still deceased, was married, a father of two and grand-father of three, a veteran and well thought of community member. Soules on the other.....meh. I'm thankful that Tim is safe. Machines can be repaired or replaced. People can't.
This why we have dash cams in every thing that goes on the road. We mount them on the back windows of the tractors in the upper right corner, you can't see every thing but it still Catches most every thing.
Glad Tim didn't get hurt, That's the important part. Wes I would have to take a really close look at the from axel for damage, Going at hi-way speed and being pushed off the road and hitting a colvert and bouncing may have damaged it. Pickup driver is at fault so he should be paying for all of it not you. Bandit
Accident or not. That exhaust was due for replacement. Good that you caught it before you melted the filter housing and the pressurizing fan, häve seen inåt happen. And it is expensive!
Got out of farming 30 years ago. When going down a road back then with the tractors we would pull over on the side when we got cars behind us to let them go by. Today they just don't pull over to let people by, maybe because all the mail boxes every 200' down the road. Good that nobody got hurt. I have saw to 2 people lose their lives running up into a combines and a tractor on the road in front of our house growing up, strait road. It is not that they are small and hard to see.
My dad would say as long as you are okay equipment can be repaired Bad drivers are every where we were hit making a right turn after having my signal on for a 100 feet before we turned. The other driver told us she was distracted and hadn't seen our signal
Cheap dash cam forward and backwards just for insurance purposes if required or police reports in case of emergency plus you can add the footage to your videos and show your viewers just how good the drives are in NJ glad Tims not injured
People always think they're in a big hurry. Of course it's never their fault. They simply think you're in their way. A-holes like that need an adjustment with a 2x4.
I really hate driving my equipment on public roads but have to and ppl just don't give a damn anymore about how wide u are and how heavy u are I always run my flashers on and lights on but most ppl don't care about u trying to get work done all they care about is themselves and thank God Tim wasn't hurt and it's just minor damages to the tractor keep up the good work and can't wait to see ur next video and hope u have good hay season bc I am getting ready here in Nebraska to get into fields to start my crop season also
Tim... You were drifting dad's tractor again, weren't you? Good to hear that you were ok, no one was hurt. Lucky that kids who grow up on farms can drive.
I hope the driver of the pickup got a ticket! Awhile ago I was driving in a farming community there was some kind of tractor sprayer. Four very high thin wheels with a lot of clearance underneath. Two vehicles in front of me passed the tractor by going underneath it on the road. I do not know if it happens a lot but I think the farmer was a little shocked. I know I was.
Might’ve been a combo Tim might’ve been texting when he looked up and said oh shit. Only one way to tell check the cell phone records I tell my guys no phones period while driving our heavy equipment on public roads. I’m glad your ok Tim just gotta be so careful if one of these machines ever went head on with an automobile the outcome is never good
I'm very glad Tim wasn't hurt,but I feel if Tim would have SHOVED that 7810 up that drivers backside,he would have seriously deserved it,cutting off a 20 ton tractor like that for absolutely NO REASON.👿 ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT TIM!. ⚠ 🚜 SAFETY LIVE WITH IT 🚜⚠
Soo glad Tim's safe and the tractor wasn't any worse, just imagine if he had a big load of hay on, just remember Tim if it wasn't ur fault try to cheer up, it did feel like Wesley was trying to cheer u up as it didn't sound like there was anything Tim could have done to avoid it
Part on the tractor can be replaced, Tim cant so its great to see hes ok, and I hope you find out the person who caused this in the first place and give them the repair bill
Should have just stayed in his lane and seen who would have won that battle. My bet is a pickup against a 7810 John Deere has a clear outcome as to who the winner will be. Although then you've gotta stand around on the side of the road waiting for the cops to come and then listen to the guy driving the pickup lie to the cop about how you targeted him on the road.....Can't win.
Yep, the pickup would have been road kill. Just shows Tim is a quality guy and took the hit. I do like the idea of the "dash" cam. They are super cheap now a days and negate stories told to the cops.
tractor would win of course but it'll still be damaged and shit isn't cheap to fix especially if something important gets bent/broken like an axle. also yes the truck driver would lie like hell(assuming he's alive) and worst case you now have a lawsuit to deal with on top of a broken tractor. i've been in Tim's exact situation many times, it's very common. all they can think about is that they are behind a slow tractor and they want around it as fast as possible with no fucks given how unsafe it might be to pass.
I drive semi for a living and I know people hate being behind me...It's absolutely crazy the situations people put themselves in to save a couple minutes. I don't think people really think through the risk before just going for it....
Sorry about the damage to the machine but can be fixed, Thankfully tim didn't get hurt. Just asking but can you get insurance to pay for damage on machine? Are they insurable? take care.
pull whats left of the belt off the 7810.. spin all the idlers the belt goes around. make sure they are NOT noisy.. have no wobble.. much easier to ID the failed or close to failed ones and replace them now.. you might also want to spin the fan idler.. make sure its not bent.. this is about 2 minutes worth of work.. verses downtime and hours of labor later.. ps.. do you or your parents have an pulse oxymeter.. device that clips over your finger and gives you your blood oxygen content.. check tim for reduced oxygen.. might have Carbon monoxide issues from the leaking exhaust..
I remember you mentioning liability insurance for an accident you had a while back so I'm wondering if there is insurance available for damage to your equipment. Are you self-insured because the insurance is too expensive?
Thank god Tim did'nt get hurt or an innocent person... If it was a tall driveway crossing the steering wheel could have broken his hand... 10 years ago the same thing happened to me and broke 2 fingers on my left hand and snapped the front axle... the guy actually stopped and called the police because he caused the accident... It was a 19 year old young MAN... I say man because he did'nt just drive on
Glad Tim is ok. I’m sure the goof who cut him off didn’t stop to at least check and see if he was ok. Tim probably saved some lives by taking the ditch.
Why do I think this is a lifted white pickup, probably diesel. Oh yeah, I've had a few problems with them too. There is more than on in this area though, usually some young kid. At least tim made the best of it that he could, its a tough situation to be in.
We have them down here too. It's getting to be a danger just moving across the road to another field. Just wait: they'll make a law where we have to have a crew to lead and follow farm equipment every time its on the road; then (the idiots) will try and pass the whole possession.
I haul liquid shit in Vermont with a case 285 mx dual tires , 6300 houle spreader flotation tires all around fucking thing is huge you would be amazed at how cars push me and I am like how f ing stupid can they be and the pedal bikes are crazy
Damn, glad Tim is ok and not hurt. F'in aholes are around everywhere Wes, just not in your area. When it rains it pours, sorry Wes. Just breathe, take it easy and continue on. Things do tend to happen for a reason though. Cheers :)
ummm am I the only one in the comments that's thinking.. atleast Timothy is safe . atleast Timothy didn't get hurt really bad.these drivers out here act like they own the whole dam road.im glad you're safe an not hurt Timothy.
Joseph Boley Farmers can be replaced, equipment is too expensive.
I guarantee you nobody is more proud than Wes is that Tim is safe
Yep glad hes ok and no-one got hurt. Sucks it cost alot of money though
Snipe Stud00 lol
Tim is a good guy. And I agree with the people saying get dash cams. Heck, as a CZcamsr I'm surprised you don't already have them. Glad Tim is ok.
Panhead49EL yep dash cam wouldve showed the truck that tim says hit him and could file a hit n run i drive a f350 10ft flatbed dually truck and i got hit n run by a ford taurus no damage to my truck since its a steel flatbed wonder about the car though lol
I agree Panhead49EL Dash cam would be a good idea, I'm pleased to hear that Tim is ok, sounds like very arrogant selfish car drivers in their area.
i know money doesn't grow on trees, but at least tim didn't get hurt.
in his case the money (grass) grow on the ground ;)

Just glad Tim is ok. I have a son that's same age as Tim. Dont know what I'd do without him. Best friend and son.
I'm a truck driver and i agreed dam cams in the main road tractors would safe a lot of time for y'all glad Tim is ok

Nice to see the 4960 in one piece instead of 5 parts. Glad Tim is okay he is a good guy..
Having the same problem in southeast Michigan. People drive to fast for road conditions, and tailgating. You have to be really careful making left turns into the fields too. When you slow down to turn they will try to pass when you turn.

H Turbo probably did that while texting.
Where are you in SE Michigan?
Isn't that the truth I have the same problem there's a lot of stupid people on the roads

I drive back roads here in Ont. & what really gets me on gravel roads, they think middle is there's and then you have to pull over even more. Thanks
When you get close enough to a telephone pole to wreck your exhaust, without ripping the cab off the tractor, you are very lucky indeed!
Glad to see Tim is ok and the tractor is fixable. Yes it’s the same here in good old Canada. Everyone is in a super hurry to go now where. Defensive driving is a must to teach our new generation of drivers.
Sadly, driving in NJ (probably other places, too) has made dash cams a necessity for protection from liability in accidents like Tim described. As others have written, at least he's OK.
It seems we all want to say "Tim wasn't hurt" that is really what is important.
Glad Tim's safe, it's getting real bad here in the Midwest also even in middle of no where.
Here in Iowa the former Bachelor of the Year, Chris Soules, rear ended a tractor and killed the 66 year old farmer driving it. He then was charged with "hit and run".

Glad Tim is ok.
Glad you are ok Tim. That is a good out come, could have been a lot worse. Keep your chin up.
Tim, glad you are uninjured! My family has been involved in similar situations over the years that didn't turn out so well.
Glad Tim didn’t get hurt, I sure hope the driver stopped to make sure
I’m glad Tim is ok. Parts can be replaced. He can’t
I'm glad tim is ok btw I hate New Jersey I'm a truck driver from the south and hate going up there!!!
Accident or not. That exhaust was due for replacement. Good that you caught it before you melted the filter housing and the pressurizing fan, häve seen inåt happen. And it is expensive!
Probably should look into install front and rear dash cams on everything that goes on the road. We just started putting them on our vehicles.
Got out of farming 30 years ago. When going down a road back then with the tractors we would pull over on the side when we got cars behind us to let them go by. Today they just don't pull over to let people by, maybe because all the mail boxes every 200' down the road. Good that nobody got hurt.

Bad drivers are every where we were hit making a right turn after having my signal on for a 100 feet before we turned. The other driver told us she was distracted and hadn't seen our signal
Glad you are safe Tim.
Kudos to Tim for mitigating the damage to the equipment and returning safely.
Glad you are ok Tim, Can always fix or replace things but not always the same goes for humans.
Thank goodness Tim is safe. I hope you got that bastard's license and called the cops!
Glad Tim is ok. We can always fix equipment that's my motto.
may not be a bad idea to invest in dash cams for how many miles you drive on the roads with the tractors
Had a slightly bent exhaust pipe on one of our tractors. All the others of the same model just looked wrong.
Great video Wes thanks for sharing keep up the great work stay safe
Gave you a thumbs up. Some nice positive Tim to Dad feed back going on.
At least there should be a tire mark down the side of the truck. Glad Tim wasn't hurt!
Cheap dash cam forward and backwards just for insurance purposes if required or police reports in case of emergency plus you can add the footage to your videos and show your viewers just how good the drives are in NJ glad Tims not injured
People always think they're in a big hurry. Of course it's never their fault. They simply think you're in their way. A-holes like that need an adjustment with a 2x4.
Damn crazy people. Can't slow down for nothing. Im just glad Tim is OK. Tractors can be fixed or replaced, son's cant.
Well the 4960 is back together and people just don't don't know how to act around farm tractors my dad keeps people from passing them
It's not only in new jersey its everywhere my friend I just got rear ended Saturday myself
I really hate driving my equipment on public roads but have to and ppl just don't give a damn anymore about how wide u are and how heavy u are I always run my flashers on and lights on but most ppl don't care about u trying to get work done all they care about is themselves and thank God Tim wasn't hurt and it's just minor damages to the tractor keep up the good work and can't wait to see ur next video and hope u have good hay season bc I am getting ready here in Nebraska to get into fields to start my crop season also
Tim... You were drifting dad's tractor again, weren't you? Good to hear that you were ok, no one was hurt. Lucky that kids who grow up on farms can drive.

lol yeah I'm sure he pulled over and called himself in
Yeah I'd be thinking about having chains hanging down on one of those outfits.
Glad Mr Tim is unhurt, sounds like it could have gone the other way easily enough.
They say that when your driving a tractor, no matter where you are, you see some of the worst drivers
glad tim is ok..nice anvils you guys will find them handy, thanks for sharing :)
Oh jeez. What a jerk! Love you view of blessing in disguise. Sucks when life throws you a bad one :( he's very fortunate he's ok.
Glad to hear he isnt hurt hard to buy tim parts, john deere just pickup the phone good luck spring is coming but only god knows when
I am glad Timothy is safe but if you closed your eyes for parts of that he sounded just like Wes
Will that crash in the tractor screw up the wheel alignment like it would in a car or truck?
Might’ve been a combo Tim might’ve been texting when he looked up and said oh shit. Only one way to tell check the cell phone records I tell my guys no phones period while driving our heavy equipment on public roads. I’m glad your ok Tim just gotta be so careful if one of these machines ever went head on with an automobile the outcome is never good
I'm very glad Tim wasn't hurt,but I feel if Tim would have SHOVED that 7810 up that drivers backside,he would have seriously deserved it,cutting off a 20 ton tractor like that for absolutely NO REASON.👿
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT TIM!.
⚠ 🚜 SAFETY LIVE WITH IT 🚜⚠
That effing sucks. Glad to see Tim is ok.
I agree with you and hope Tim is okay and it's not going to be an arm and leg to fix
We had the exhaust pipe rot off at the same spot on our 7810, it melted the top battery and the plastic battery cover.
Soo glad Tim's safe and the tractor wasn't any worse, just imagine if he had a big load of hay on, just remember Tim if it wasn't ur fault try to cheer up, it did feel like Wesley was trying to cheer u up as it didn't sound like there was anything Tim could have done to avoid it
Citiots.? I love it!!! Dallas/Ft Worth is full of them.
Part on the tractor can be replaced, Tim cant so its great to see hes ok, and I hope you find out the person who caused this in the first place and give them the repair bill
That sux Tim there are some idiots out there. Wow, Wes what an anvil collection.
wow! not too much damage. the good thing is tim is ok
Should have just stayed in his lane and seen who would have won that battle. My bet is a pickup against a 7810 John Deere has a clear outcome as to who the winner will be.

Yep, the pickup would have been road kill. Just shows Tim is a quality guy and took the hit. I do like the idea of the "dash" cam. They are super cheap now a days and negate stories told to the cops.
tractor would win of course but it'll still be damaged and shit isn't cheap to fix especially if something important gets bent/broken like an axle. also yes the truck driver would lie like hell(assuming he's alive) and worst case you now have a lawsuit to deal with on top of a broken tractor. i've been in Tim's exact situation many times, it's very common. all they can think about is that they are behind a slow tractor and they want around it as fast as possible with no fucks given how unsafe it might be to pass.

And I agree Tim did the right thing. Just sucks that people get away with stuff like that...
Glad Tims ok,did the tie rod get bent in from the drive jump,from the looks it front tire out alinment ?
Here in SW Kansas, we have the same kind of problem with people.
Sorry about the damage to the machine but can be fixed, Thankfully tim didn't get hurt. Just asking but can you get insurance to pay for damage on machine? Are they insurable? take care.
pull whats left of the belt off the 7810.. spin all the idlers the belt goes around. make sure they are NOT noisy.. have no wobble.. much easier to ID the failed or close to failed ones and replace them now.. you might also want to spin the fan idler.. make sure its not bent.. this is about 2 minutes worth of work.. verses downtime and hours of labor later.. ps.. do you or your parents have an pulse oxymeter.. device that clips over your finger and gives you your blood oxygen content.. check tim for reduced oxygen.. might have Carbon monoxide issues from the leaking exhaust..
Glad you’re ok Tim
Glad Tim did not get hurt!
Glad to see your not hurt and your ok Tim..
Glad Tim is ok!
I remember you mentioning liability insurance for an accident you had a while back so I'm wondering if there is insurance available for damage to your equipment. Are you self-insured because the insurance is too expensive?
glad tim is ok. and I bet he is glad it wasn't the 4960 since it looks fixed. he would have been pissed.
glad tim wasnt hurt thanks for the video wes
Thank god Tim did'nt get hurt or an innocent person... If it was a tall driveway crossing the steering wheel could have broken his hand... 10 years ago the same thing happened to me and broke 2 fingers on my left hand and snapped the front axle... the guy actually stopped and called the police because he caused the accident... It was a 19 year old young MAN... I say man because he did'nt just drive on
At least no one was hurt. Stay safe out there guys
Glad everyone was safe ! Could use one of those anvils
Just glad Tim didn't get hurt. Are there seat belts in JD tractors? Thanks!
Sky King Certainly has seat belts. I always wear them for road travel.
Mine has one, I try to wear it but then I can't reach the pedals well ;)
TN same way buddy. Citidiots I
Like that. Stupidity is running wild in the drivers in TN my friend.
I'm just glad that Tim didn't get hurt.
Glad Tim is ok. I’m sure the goof who cut him off didn’t stop to at least check and see if he was ok. Tim probably saved some lives by taking the ditch.
Why do I think this is a lifted white pickup, probably diesel.
Oh yeah, I've had a few problems with them too. There is more than on in this area though, usually some young kid.
At least tim made the best of it that he could, its a tough situation to be in.
We have them down here too. It's getting to be a danger just moving across the road to another field. Just wait: they'll make a law where we have to have a crew to lead and follow farm equipment every time its on the road; then (the idiots) will try and pass the whole possession.
Glad Tim wasn't hurt.
Did he get the plate number?
Were the cops called? There certainly is enough damage to warrant calling the cops.
Good that ya ok Tim. Hope ya raised a finger salute to the driver who caused the issue? If it was a semi, was there a company number?
I haul liquid shit in Vermont with a case 285 mx dual tires , 6300 houle spreader flotation tires all around fucking thing is huge you would be amazed at how cars push me and I am like how f ing stupid can they be and the pedal bikes are crazy
Damn, glad Tim is ok and not hurt. F'in aholes are around everywhere Wes, just not in your area. When it rains it pours, sorry Wes. Just breathe, take it easy and continue on. Things do tend to happen for a reason though. Cheers :)
