Boy Katrina you had me worried. I saw grain wreck and immediately thought you'd be trapped in a bin or auger. Thank heavens neither were true!

How is the harvest going? How are your yields? It looks like they have just maybe cracked into a couple winter wheat fields in our area.

Stay safe! I hope cleaning up a little spilled grain is the biggest wreck you have!

Cheers---

Looks like you plumb wore the handle right off of that aluminum scoop shovel cleaning that spill up!! :wink:

Good thing you didn't plug the auger. We had a guy do that once. Stripped 20' of flighting before the tractor stalled out. Must be heavy wheat to break the scoop shovel forcing you to a smaller one. :wink:

That is only a small spill - - - about 5 years ago we were transfering corn from one bin to another and the man who was supposed to watch it fell asleep - - -- I took a 980 cat loader with a 6yd bucket and filled 3 semi trailers before we even started shoveling.

Blow up a car inter tube and place it on a 55 gal drum then put the shop vac motor on top and you can suck more up between dumps. One more hard learned lesson.

Just sparrow and jackrabbit feed....I hate heights- and sometimes have slipped up and not went up the ladder to check quick enough and had the same or worse....
What makes you really gulp is when you have to dump 8-10 thousand bushel on the ground.....But only got lucky enough to do that about twice in my life....

It could have been worse. Like my friend's son in law who rolled their combine last weekend. It rolled down into a coulee and rolled over 4 times. He was lucky to survive.

Oh Katrina, what a hoot!! Our grandson was unloading corn from the grain cart to the semi 2 years ago. Grandpa told him it might not all fit but shut things down. Well, he came back with thumbs up that he had it all fit. He forgot to check the side of the truck where around 500 bu. laid on the ground. We had him climb the pile so we could take a pic of him and the corn. Great memories!!!
