    #FarmingFail

    It's Ag Safety Week so here's a good example of what not to do. Back home in the east the corn wagon took a spill...of course during the 5pm rush hour.
    Stay safe!

      So why did it happen? Corn wagons don't just fall over.

        User error...most of the load of corn was unloaded and it flowed out except for corn on one side, the opposite side to the door. When making a turn to the field the weight on one side of the wagon tipped the wagon over.

          Aren't those side dump hoppered grain wagons the most unstable things around? We have one that holds about 450 bushels and I hate using it. It's only here to dump a bit of grain into for storage a pulling around the yard....no roading with it. Odd the still allow them on the highways there.

            We have a few of these wagons, they work decent for a smaller farming operation.

            But with the roads getting busier drivers are not very patient with farm vehicles on the road, we try to keep off the roads whenever possible.
