I bet the boy enjoyed every second of that. AND for those commenting about no gloves, of course the boy has gloves he just didn't see a need for them, some people are hard enough that a minute or two without gloves doesn't kill them.
It's nice seeing a young man learning these type of things he Will be able to do anything as he grows older. I learned to drive our dune buggy at age 9 it was a stick shift at age 12 I was hooking up to truck and towing our trailers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, dune buggies 3 hours north to our cottage. I'm almost 50 now and very little I can't do thanks to my Dad.
I agree, that's one reason I decided not to use the backhoe to pull me out. The kids need experience. Plus they are who I have to depend on most time. No one else is coming up the road, might as well teach the young ones
@@PeterALoch No everyone is a trust fund baby Pete -- the actual bonding experience is what I was referring to -- obviously you missed out on that bonding part of life with your dad...
@Rebecca I was talking about what I say in video/ no gloves outside and working around barb wire I was not saying anything against you. Yes I did not have the bond with my dad because he was working 18 hours a day to support us. Not like you having everything handed to you or "Daddy I want this and that and you got it
Sorry to see the fence take the hit but it can be repaired. Nice having the 13 y/o help, taught him a great lesson. Glad all worked out. Thanks for sharing
That's awesome that your son doesnt just floor it. In snow most people even adults don't think to take it easy. What made you all want to move to a place so opposite of Arizona? I used to think it would be great to move to Kentucky and be in the mountains. Where I live is awesome because if we get a snow warning schools and work shuts down, like the whole city. We don't have the equipment here for the city or country to get the snow off the roads. But we rarely ever get snow and when we do it is still okay to drive on, they just shut everything down because nobody knows how to drive on icy roads lol. The heat here can be bad but if you get a pool just throw some ice in it jump in for a few and get back to work. I love my super long summer days.
You didn't need a tow strap, you needed some tire chains on that tractor. Good job working together. farm kids learn to drive pretty young. My kid was driving my Ford 9N @ 7 years old. not without close supervision! Calm down Haters!!
It's a winter wonder land! --- our version of the same storm is just ending. A ton of snow here in Wisconsin as well. Now we have 26 and 32 below zero coming the next two days -- then rain!!!!! Kudos to your son for pulling you out! Stay warm and safe...
Young lad has more brains than the old man!! Punching it with a chain is when you usually find the weakest link in the chain and wind up taking someones head off
Good son - he doesn't want to break your truck Dad! Keep being patient with him and he'll be patient with your grandchildren! Rear blade is the only way to remove snow! I have one on the 1973 Case MB 4/94 Unimog here in Reno, Nevada! Thanks for the video post!! Blessing to you and your family!
As a young girl, I learned from my dad to always carry gloves in your vehicle. Even in the summer. You never know what task you may have to do, and gloves can protect your hands from a lot of different things. And even at my age now, I still do. Same goes for jackets. Even in the hottest of summers, I've had to use one in a very cold grocery store or movie theater. Never hurts to be prepared. And yes, kudos to the young man. He did a fine job!
@@TexasRose50 Same. I always put a duffel bag with 1-2day worth clothes for both summer and winter. Plus gloves, n95 mask, snow gaggles. Also put some other accessories like a wall charger, USB cables, and first aid kit. Bought the bag in Adidas outlets for a cheap price. Always keep this bag in my car whatever is a sedan or a suv.
Never reeve between two tow points like that. Reeving doubles the side load on the connecting point a halves the sling angle, in addition to the fact that you've already increased the load just from the sling angle. In this example, a typical tractor about that size weighs 2,000 pounds(probably more, but we'll stick with a round number). Say you didn't reeve it and you instead connected correctly at each tow point. The smallest allowable sling angle is 30 degrees, which doubles the load on each leg, and it looks like you hit much less than 30 degrees at times. So, to avoid 2,000 # on 1 tow hook inline, you put 2,000 # (probably more) on *each* tow hook as a *side load*. And reeving it doubles it again, so now it's 4,000# of side load. If that sling angle gets down to 10 degrees, and it might have there, and you include the reeving, you could have as much as, or more than, 10,000 # of side load on each tow point.
Tell Heath to get on the stick with his snowplow. You guys look like you are having way too much fun out there! Hang in there. Tire chains would be good.
A real locker in the rear end of the truck would work wonders in that situation, then hook the chain short, like 5 feet between the truck and tractor. Hook low on the tractor, high as possible on the truck, then you'll be putting downward pressure on the truck suspension for more weight on the tires resulting in more traction while picking up on the rear of the tractor at the same time. Also telling your son to "punch it" with slack in the chain could have turned out really bad for you (as in a funeral) if the chain would have broken. Glad it didn't break and you're OK. My son's truck has a caved in tailgate from hitting the end of a slack chain trying to pull a truck stuck in the mud, it could very easily have been the back window if the tailgate hadn't been closed. Just be safe and teach your son to work safe and maybe you won't be attending HIS funeral for something he did that was really stupid while working. Your comment about the strap was what you should have done, even if it meant stopping to go back to the barn or house to get it..
Nice truck. Set of chains would help during heavy wet snow. Install a locker in the front and rear axles, gives you 4 wheel drive all the time. When done hit the unlock button and back to normal 4x4. Good Luck, great family‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Use to use a back blade on my grandparents 1953 Ford jubilee. Used it a lot in the 78 blizzard in Indiana . Also 1964 case front end loader . Easier to turn blade backwards and push going in reverse. Still have and both run well and still use today. I learnt the sameway as this young man.
I've found a winch works best. When a truck or tractor can't pull you out even with chains and ballast. I have an 8500 pound winch on a 2 inch receiver. I can plug it into to front bumper or the rear bumper. Attach to the battery with big jumper cables. It has pulled twice its weight. If you use a snatch block pulley, you can get better angles. Something about the slow, controlled pull off the winch. It works so much better than the sudden jerk of a chain or the pull of a strap. I guess that's why all the tow trucks use winches. Good video. It's hard to keep up with the snow.
My Dad and I did this kind stuff every winter and my son and I did too. Can I offer an idea to help the next time. Hook your chain on the further side of the tractor down in the ditch and hook so your pulling from the passengers side of the truck and make your chain between the two as short as possible . You won't believe how easy it will come out . Keep on having fun in the snow.
You need a snow shovel or grain scoop to dig out first. A strap would also be good. You got a strong kid that can shovel you free. We used to have to dig out with a folding army shovel. A grain scoop would make easy work of that snow.
@Abe E Been there. Done that, many times. You shovel smaller amounts with each load. A grain scoop works great for shoveling heavy snow. I learned to dig out of snow banks in 1963. We always had a shovel handy during snow season. I even carry one on my ATV and snowmobile. Watch George Hill of Hill Autobody and Towing. He always shovels a path, even when the sand is not deep. Would you leave wheel chocks in place?
I still enjoy your vide,haven seen any new ones , would like to see good snow way down here in the South ,we may not know how to handle that much we have a good snow few years back it shut the city down freeways highways people buses stranded,watching where Y'all live and building your home Amazing how y'all Cope with it 🙄🤩😊🎶🎼😇...
Good job son working with Dad and you driving that truck. I got a friend who has a son 17 has no interest in driving, just stays in the house playing video games or in the bathroom or his bedroom playing with himself!
911 in the red jug for diesel and gas i spray starting fluid in cold weather even in chainsaw gas. Few years ago put a water heater on my jd410 and keep the thing plugged in thinking of doing the same with my dozer. Thinking of buying chain and making my own tire chains. I was in the process of building a plow with 40 inch pipe from rem from pipelining for a plow then bought a dozer with a winch. Thanks for the video.
Pulling a vehicle out of the dich is simple. They need to pull the front of the miny van out sideways from the ditch. Grab it on a slight angle to the back of the van and pull it out. That's how we do it with tow trucks here in northern Canada.
When ever I tow some one out of a ditch or what ever just remember without a heavy load in the back of the truck all you have is front wheel drive. Gotta fill the rear of the truck with a min of 600lbs
Looks as though you could do with a big snow blower up there instead of (or as well as) ploughing and pushing! By the way, that's a cracking good kid you've got there!
If you don't have a strap, get 2 chains and an old tire....put the tire between the 2 chains....works as good or better than a strap. I've used it many times in deep snow. Pulled an loaded 5 ton military truck with a loaded 5000 gal water trailer out with a dodge pick up using this set up....works every time.
I have a ford 8n with plow....I bought chains for it , now its better than 4wd. Buy a good set youll never regret it.........your video reminded me of my kid and me at camp every weekend in winter.....lol
Only option how u maybe would be able to improve it, that the truck is getting weight on its heck and the tracktor is getting lower weight on its heck. Maybe u know what I mean. So I mean that the truck is not only pulling forward, also upwards. But I'm glad u made it, I know how it is to get stuck, we are living on a little hill. Thanks and greetings from austria
Unfortunately plowing snow on roads builds up the shoulders... If they can find or build a snow blower they can blow it away from the road.. Especially when winter is long
Job well done, father & son....right on Kid!! If I might suggest one thing, (other than gloves when working with barbed wire).... Cable/chain blankets at both tie ends.......that chain/cable lets go it can cause major damage of injury at either end. Even an old horse blanket or jacket will stop the cable from flying the other way.....just a suggestion......Video well done
great video.! i thought that kid was gonna punch it and snap that chain or rip the back off that tractor and end up two counties over by the time you said STOP!!!!. but it turns out he is a very safe driver....
Pick up a couple CB radios and post a sign with the channel number at the entrance to your road and before you come up you alert the other your coming. Should prevent a mid section meeting.
I know firsthand how much of an annoyance and a pain getting stuck like that is. Your son had fun I bet! Did ya try using individual wheel brakes? I’ve found that to be one of the best methods for a tractor to get unstuck
Yes that tractor wont hardly steer in the snow without the wheel brakes. So after fighting it for 20 minutes I had my boy drive the truck up the driveway to pull me out
I did the same thing last year and the chain broke in half and just missed my head by a couple of inches and put a big dent in the roll bar I will never use a chain again be carefull
A nice 12x5 tarp couple of bungee straps folded up nicely under the seat so the tractor could be covered when not in use or stuck overnight might help you in the long run..just a thought -
As an old South African farmer myself, I lost a neighbor when chain broke while pulling tree stub out of the ground when it snap... Please be save and be careful for yourself and your family!!
Should have used the backhoe it could have picked that little tractor up and set it over 2 feet and saved the fence and possibly your life when the chain breaks
Might be a better idea when. plowing with the 2 wheel drive tractor to turn the blade around backwards and plow backwards keeping the tires on the plowed section and not in the drifts... Maybe
Yeah, did a lot of that. You need to stabilize the three point hitch with a brace to keep it from flopping around. Nothing beats being chained up and having a loader to push snow with. The blade can make it look neat at the end.
Add about a foot to one or the other end of the blade Above The Cutting Edge it will work as a wing. Chains would make a whole world of difference in the way that tractor handles in snoe, and has been observed you can get stabilizer bars for the 3 point hitch will resolve most of that implement swaying. Good job young man. 🇺🇸
Your angles were all wrong. You had it correct when backing up the Ford. (Engine weight + backing up = placing weight down to increase traction to pull backwards). You needed to run pull chain closer to passenger side of Ford to increase angle. As well a fulcrum lever (6x6 with a notch cut in top, standing up, cable over top, when pulling it would act like a pivoting hoist and "lift" tractor up and out). A "low line" pull like you tried will always result in stuck vehicle just sliding along ditch edge.
Back in the 90's, I think, Chevy and ford guys were going back and forth about why a plow couldn't be fit on the Chevy's. I've seen them. They didn't seem to bother. I've seen 'em on my entire family's fords too. I'm kinda wondering why you don't have one for your truck.......
all you had to do was use the backhoe and pull straight out from the fence on the front and back of the tractor to get it clear of the fence and then drive off. Easy peaazy
I was already up the driveway in the blue tractor, my truck k was already started up and I had not plugged in my backhoe to the generator to be started. It takes roughly 40 minutes to get the backhoe warmed after plugging it in then letting it idle for awhile. So the idea was this was going to be faster, it wasnt.
You will continue to spend a lot of time repairing your mess up. Everyone has problems but try too stop some of them. Your Ford is to small and light for the amount of snow you are trying to move. Put a blade on your loader, so you don't push it all the time, plow it to the side, 8 feet going down and 8feet coming up, now you have a wide road. You are smart enough to convert a blade like they put on the front of trucks to plow snow, or maybe one off of a state truck. I've seen people picked up an old truck in the junkyard with the entire system on it cheaper than the blade cost. I'm watching all of your videos so i know we're a lot alike, and you can modify one to work. Listen carefully, if you keep jerking your stuff with a log chain, sooner or later it will snap. You will get hit with the chain and seriously injured or worse, dead. I have seen the chain snap and bust the rear window out of 3 trucks, 2 brand new when playing in the mud and got stuck. I bought a snatch rope, it's like a tow rope except you hook it up and go like hell. When it gets tight and stretches the truck will stop period, you better wear your seatbelt. It will stretch 6-8 feet so the tractor is coming out. Please do not use a chain to pull out a stuck vehicle. We had them at the beach on sand and they work mine cost $50. Good luck in the future, be safe. I am enjoying your videos. Next I'm going to sub to your neighbor and watch him.
Good for the boy.except chain. Can break and wip lash u or truck. Ive done the same. That snowbank just kept sucking u in. Nothing broke nobody hurt good day. The boy does very well.
Pulling in reverse like that is a good way to blow up a diff. Next time leave that Ford with the back blade in the shop when it snows more than 1/2 an inch. Look up useless in the dictionary and there will be a picture of that POS.
think you 13 ear should ground you for damaging the fence lol you would have done it to him for sure you could not wait to punish him lol great videos still can not understand why you left a track to sit outside for all of ours and inside a heated shop and we move snow with a skid steers on the farms and have grader to blow the snow here as well have 10 graders we own and lease to the county for plowing the roads and trucks to sand the roads to we always keep all of our machinery under a roof keeps it looking new too we will be out at 12 am tonight plowing they said we got a good bump of the white snow I am looking forward have a bump of snow to pack the root cellar with snow and freeze it with water it is our freezer working very well for use my place is off grid winds and solar panels if the creek does not freeze have a water wheel making power here as for heat we have a 4 bale burner to heat my home and 4 shops as well the other house is on and other burners and 5 more building are heated with have bad bales again it only good to burn then to get rid of them to get to use for bedding for animals too we have a backup system in place too if we need to use it one of the buildings we have emergency vehicles inside of one 2 fire trucks and fully equipment ambulance as well and 2 smaller rescue trunks and 2 water trucks if need water someplace amazing how often they are calling out got cells 3 hours away for a fire truck if need one and we did the yard burn down before the truck came and was so windy that day just spread for one build to and other building lost a 100 head of milk cows that got caught in the fire as well they reexit the barn and was too stupid to leave the fire they just wanted to be milked at the time when it happens the fence fell over from the fire and let the cow go back in to the burn after that, we buy a used fire truck to have here and had the farmhands trains as well the country has the truck for use now we house them here too my place is the main emergency place in the area if we need to be counted for have room for 300 people here washrooms and to feed them all that is the area we cover as for the meat have a place to butcher an animal when the need to us due to hanging meat each month for the stuff we have employees to we all had meat here plus have big gardens as well on the farms we have been growing food in greenhouse as well not on my yard but 3 roads over they do we are learning this, having tomato all year around too
I bet the boy enjoyed every second of that. AND for those commenting about no gloves, of course the boy has gloves he just didn't see a need for them, some people are hard enough that a minute or two without gloves doesn't kill them.

That fence will be easily fixed. The day you and your son rescued a tractor together will never be forgotten. Bonding time!

When my tug strap isn't long enough, I put an old pickup tire in between two chains. Takes a lot of shock out when you have to snatched it.

Yytrtuf yuh it
Never reeve between two tow points like that. Reeving doubles the side load on the connecting point a halves the sling angle, in addition to the fact that you've already increased the load just from the sling angle.
In this example, a typical tractor about that size weighs 2,000 pounds(probably more, but we'll stick with a round number). Say you didn't reeve it and you instead connected correctly at each tow point. The smallest allowable sling angle is 30 degrees, which doubles the load on each leg, and it looks like you hit much less than 30 degrees at times. So, to avoid 2,000 # on 1 tow hook inline, you put 2,000 # (probably more) on *each* tow hook as a *side load*.
And reeving it doubles it again, so now it's 4,000# of side load.
If that sling angle gets down to 10 degrees, and it might have there, and you include the reeving, you could have as much as, or more than, 10,000 # of side load on each tow point.
Tell Heath to get on the stick with his snowplow. You guys look like you are having way too much fun out there! Hang in there. Tire chains would be good.
A real locker in the rear end of the truck would work wonders in that situation, then hook the chain short, like 5 feet between the truck and tractor. Hook low on the tractor, high as possible on the truck, then you'll be putting downward pressure on the truck suspension for more weight on the tires resulting in more traction while picking up on the rear of the tractor at the same time. Also telling your son to "punch it" with slack in the chain could have turned out really bad for you (as in a funeral) if the chain would have broken. Glad it didn't break and you're OK. My son's truck has a caved in tailgate from hitting the end of a slack chain trying to pull a truck stuck in the mud, it could very easily have been the back window if the tailgate hadn't been closed. Just be safe and teach your son to work safe and maybe you won't be attending HIS funeral for something he did that was really stupid while working. Your comment about the strap was what you should have done, even if it meant stopping to go back to the barn or house to get it..

I guess that's why all the tow trucks use winches.
Good video. It's hard to keep up with the snow.
Shorten up your chain so you can get more of an angle from the front. The long chain is just pull in you down the ditch.
My Dad and I did this kind stuff every winter and my son and I did too. Can I offer an idea to help the next time. Hook your chain on the further side of the tractor down in the ditch and hook so your pulling from the passengers side of the truck and make your chain between the two as short as possible . You won't believe how easy it will come out . Keep on having fun in the snow.
You can put an old tire between two chains for a shock absorber. That will allow you to jerk on the load a bit.
You need a snow shovel or grain scoop to dig out first. A strap would also be good. You got a strong kid that can shovel you free. We used to have to dig out with a folding army shovel. A grain scoop would make easy work of that snow.

Plowing snow is one place and equal size tire backhoe should really shine..
Using the crab steer option..

time to invest in tire chains for the tractor
i thought red was gettin all over that bit of road with his little plow thingie
Think Red lives on the lower part of that road and doesn't plow up that far toward the end.

Pick up a couple CB radios and post a sign with the channel number at the entrance to your road and before you come up you alert the other your coming. Should prevent a mid section meeting.
Good job young man
I know firsthand how much of an annoyance and a pain getting stuck like that is. Your son had fun I bet! Did ya try using individual wheel brakes? I’ve found that to be one of the best methods for a tractor to get unstuck
Yes that tractor wont hardly steer in the snow without the wheel brakes. So after fighting it for 20 minutes I had my boy drive the truck up the driveway to pull me out
I did the same thing last year and the chain broke in half and just missed my head by a couple of inches and put a big dent in the roll bar I will never use a chain again be carefull
A nice 12x5 tarp couple of bungee straps folded up nicely under the seat so the tractor could be covered when not in use or stuck overnight might help you in the long run..just a thought -
A DAY IN A LIFE OF A RANCHER, LOL FUN STUFF
He takes direction very good.......WTG Just Subscribed
As an old South African farmer myself, I lost a neighbor when chain broke while pulling tree stub out of the ground when it snap... Please be save and be careful for yourself and your family!!
Nervous with the dogs next to the chain, what happen if let go?
Should have used the backhoe it could have picked that little tractor up and set it over 2 feet and saved the fence and possibly your life when the chain breaks
Might be a better idea when. plowing with the 2 wheel drive tractor to turn the blade around backwards and plow backwards keeping the tires on the plowed section and not in the drifts...
Maybe
Yeah, did a lot of that. You need to stabilize the three point hitch with a brace to keep it from flopping around. Nothing beats being chained up and having a loader to push snow with. The blade can make it look neat at the end.
@@aboversite
Those ars called stabilizing bars or chains
Add about a foot to one or the other end of the blade Above The Cutting Edge it will work as a wing. Chains would make a whole world of difference in the way that tractor handles in snoe, and has been observed you can get stabilizer bars for the 3 point hitch will resolve most of that implement swaying.
Good job young man. 🇺🇸
That French - ouch. That’s going to take some Mooney to fivpx
Are there any reasonable priced 3pt. snowblowers around there?
Always enjoy watching your videos and how your family pulls together man...
tdo7d11 We have been looking but they are super expensive. Hoping to find something in the summer alot cheaper. Thanks for watching
Why didn't you use the backhoe to pull the tractor out instead of the truck?
old video, why didn't you use that massive 16 ton winch?? or the backhoe??
Using that type of tractor in the snow requires chains. You will continue to get stuck.
Your angles were all wrong. You had it correct when backing up the Ford. (Engine weight + backing up = placing weight down to increase traction to pull backwards). You needed to run pull chain closer to passenger side of Ford to increase angle. As well a fulcrum lever (6x6 with a notch cut in top, standing up, cable over top, when pulling it would act like a pivoting hoist and "lift" tractor up and out). A "low line" pull like you tried will always result in stuck vehicle just sliding along ditch edge.
chain is really a dangerous recovery tool. you guys were taking it easy, but still.....
I wasnt thinking my tractor needed more than a small tug, or I would have gotten my strap out. Or my backhoe,.
Buddy..you have alot to be proud of there...now get a strap for that truck !
Where have you vuys gone? We miss you.
T hat dog almost took a hit with that chain to his head! Did y'all see that?😮
I would have put them in the truck.
Why did you choose to not brake the left side tire and let the right side try to get traction on the snow
Has the tractor not got diff lock? peddle to the right hand side of drivers seat?
It does but my engine and tranny were sitting on the snow so it wasnt helping at all. Plus when it was grabbing it was pushing me into the fence worse
Back in the 90's, I think, Chevy and ford guys were going back and forth about why a plow couldn't be fit on the Chevy's. I've seen them. They didn't seem to bother. I've seen 'em on my entire family's fords too. I'm kinda wondering why you don't have one for your truck.......
Looks like a lot of self inflicted nonsense.
You need chains for your tractor and backhoe if you are going to use them for snow removal
That was hard to watch........
all you had to do was use the backhoe and pull straight out from the fence on the front and back of the tractor to get it clear of the fence and then drive off. Easy peaazy
Need some tire chains for tractor and for truck haha
Maybe just put a plow on your Ford 4WD?
How the hell did ya get wrapped up in the fence like that?!
Kids are getting a Ph.D. in off-grid living.
Best education out there, the crap they teach in schools is pathetic, and not practical in the real world.
Just wondering why you didn't use backhoe to get unstuck maybe would of worked better.
superdznuts99 Yep it would have been quicker and easier but I didn't want to wait for it to warm up and it was a good learning experience for my son.
@@bustedwagonranch4546 excellent experience for the boy thanks for the videos
I was already up the driveway in the blue tractor, my truck k was already started up and I had not plugged in my backhoe to the generator to be started. It takes roughly 40 minutes to get the backhoe warmed after plugging it in then letting it idle for awhile. So the idea was this was going to be faster, it wasnt.
You will continue to spend a lot of time repairing your mess up. Everyone has problems but try too stop some of them. Your Ford is to small
and light for the amount of snow you are trying to move. Put a blade on your loader, so you don't push it all the time, plow it to the side, 8 feet going down and 8feet coming up, now you have a wide road. You are smart enough to
convert a blade like they put on the front of trucks to plow snow, or maybe one off of a state truck. I've seen people picked up an old truck in the junkyard with the entire system on it cheaper than the blade cost. I'm watching all of your videos so i know we're a lot alike, and you can modify
one to work. Listen carefully, if you keep jerking your stuff with a log chain, sooner or later it will snap. You will get hit with the chain and seriously injured or worse, dead. I have seen the chain snap and bust the rear window out of 3 trucks, 2 brand new when playing in the mud and got stuck. I bought a snatch rope, it's like a tow rope except you hook it up and go like hell. When it gets tight and stretches the truck will stop period, you better wear your seatbelt. It will stretch 6-8 feet so the tractor is coming out. Please do not use a chain to pull out a stuck vehicle.
We had them at the beach on sand and they work mine cost $50. Good luck in the future, be safe. I am enjoying your videos. Next I'm going to sub to your neighbor and watch him.
Good kid. 13yr Olds where I live are only worried about fortnight
Now I know why the wagon is busted.
Good work young man
According to Heath he plows the road every day in his routine and plows it so two cars can pass by each other.
Not necessarily
Good for the boy.except chain. Can break and wip lash u or truck. Ive done the same. That snowbank just kept sucking u in. Nothing broke nobody hurt good day. The boy does very well.
Got it out thogh
"He'd be all over it"
Need to junk the tractor and the truck, don't no what you would do if really stuck.
Pulling in reverse like that is a good way to blow up a diff. Next time leave that Ford with the back blade in the shop when it snows more than 1/2 an inch. Look up useless in the dictionary and there will be a picture of that POS.
3 things, get the dogs out of the way, never pull in reverse, the father should of known better.
I would just be stuck if i depended on my 14 year old to help. Cant get off some game called fortnight.
Tim Martin tell him to pay for the electricity he uses in his playing area
My dad turned the breakers off on me, not for games but for plastic music too loud. I turned then back on, then he pulled the breaks out.. lol
Tim Martin lol
Put a Right Foot in that ass he'll get off of it !!!!
where's the kids "snow shoes" ?
Check out masterpull they make excellent recovery rope that and much better and safer then a chain...
SMH shoulda coulda woulda, no worries
think you 13 ear should ground you for damaging the fence lol you would have done it to him for sure you could not wait to punish him lol great videos still can not understand why you left a track to sit outside for all of ours and inside a heated shop and we move snow with a skid steers on the farms and have grader to blow the snow here as well have 10 graders we own and lease to the county for plowing the roads and trucks to sand the roads to we always keep all of our machinery under a roof keeps it looking new too we will be out at 12 am tonight plowing they said we got a good bump of the white snow I am looking forward have a bump of snow to pack the root cellar with snow and freeze it with water it is our freezer working very well for use my place is off grid winds and solar panels if the creek does not freeze have a water wheel making power here as for heat we have a 4 bale burner to heat my home and 4 shops as well the other house is on and other burners and 5 more building are heated with
have bad bales again it only good to burn then to get rid of them to get to use for bedding for animals too we have a backup system in place too if we need to use it
one of the buildings we have emergency vehicles inside of one 2 fire trucks and fully equipment ambulance as well and 2 smaller rescue trunks and 2 water trucks if need water someplace amazing how often they are calling out got cells 3 hours away for a fire truck if need one and we did the yard burn down before the truck came and was so windy that day just spread for one build to and other building lost a 100 head of milk cows that got caught in the fire as well they reexit the barn and was too stupid to leave the fire they just wanted to be milked at the time when it happens the fence fell over from the fire and let the cow go back in to the burn
after that, we buy a used fire truck to have here and had the farmhands trains as well the country has the truck for use now we house them here too my place is the main emergency place in the area if we need to be counted for have room for 300 people here washrooms and to feed them all
that is the area we cover as for the meat have a place to butcher an animal when the need to us due to hanging meat each month for the stuff we have employees to we all had meat here plus have big gardens as well on the farms we have been growing food in greenhouse as well not on my yard but 3 roads over they do we are learning this, having tomato all year around too
I'm working on getting a building in place. Once my family can move out of our camp trailer into a building I'll make one for my tractors
