- Today's farm vlog has me testing a "hack" that was suggested by one of my viewers ....although I have found a dedicate product made for this exact thing...I thought we'd take a set of standard zip ties and see if they would work to get you unstuck from ice and snow in a pinch....check it out...you might be surprised!!

Its always the government fault with you right wing asshats
F OFF LEFTY ASS MAGGOT. STAY IN THE BASEMENT.
What in the heck are you talking about? I'm "right wing" because I work hard....have a farm...enjoy my life and am showing you something fun on UA-cam? Honestly Pat....I don't understand....this is a video about snow tires....not Snowflakes my friend.....
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you clearly stated the government screwed up the gas cans give me a break
He's right though, unnecessary crap created by paper pushers who've never used a gas can before
@@driftwood8613 please , Gov regs are not willy nilly made the right has swallowed the Reagan propaganda that government is the problem and it has destroyed the middle class, the engine of our economy.
it would also help your traction to actually have the tread facing in the correct direction.
Yep...so this is a mirror image..if you look at the video upside down and backwards through a mirror the tires are on correct...joking fyi....I know they're ridiculous and on the wrong way..I wanted only the zip ties to gain traction
Your tires are on wrong lol!
@@raymondgriffith6532 he address that in the video
You are right. The tires do need to be facing the right way. Easy fix. Swap the wheels. Left to right and right to left. However. It won't help. The point of the video was to determine if the zip tie trick works. But I have to ask. Why wasn't aggressive knobby tires put on? There would be no need for zip-ties. Any tire you put on it will dry-rot before the tread is worn out. Money was wasted on the tires he had on that light weight, lack of a better term, buggy.
He knows, he said it in the video.
Damn! People make all these smart ass comments without watching the whole video...
Thanks for sharing brother!👍✌️
LOL....youtube ...brings all types
7:35 you put it in 4x4. a 2x4 wont make the front wheel over spin on no traction. Busted.
Cody I noticed that too. At 8:28 it seems to be in 2x4 when he tries again though.
Yep I saw the front driver side spin slightly, it in 4x4
Thank God I wasn't the only one to call him out 😂😂
I saw it. He also used the open diff before installing zip ties, then said he was gonna lock the diff after putting zip ties on. Whats the point of the test then? Of course it would do better with the rear diff locked, zip ties or not.
If you twist the ties several times before you buckle them up, you would present more surface to the snow = more traction.
Great idea!!
Stumbled across this video because I haven’t had power in 2 days, we’re running out of food and the roads are iced over. If I find zip ties this will be their first use for sure. Thanks for posting this, I’m sure you weren’t imagining it would be used for this!
Also in tx
Same in Tx. Almost stuck the ol camry a few mins ago. Lol. I tied a 2in diameter x 6in long pine stick to my tire with an old extention cord. I climbed right out of the ice hole no prob
Here I am in TX a year later…
@@jonnyz37gjbm Howdy!
I didn’t think it would work at all! Good trick😉
LOL....well it wasnt the best but it did the trick
Have never seen that before looks very interesting.
Btw the direction the tires are on the wheels gives them more grip. We do the same with our tractor tires when we get into heavy terrain.
Love your vids the really make my day. Keep up the good content.
Greetings from Deutschland 🇩🇪
Who would’ve thought, just one more use for zip ties. I’m looking forward to seeing the zip grips.
Who buys a Gator and puts those tires on.🙄
I did...and I like having fun...they're off now because they were pretty stupid ...so I partially agree with what you're getting at
I think there cool
Put off road tired on it it might work better 😂🤔
I was gonna ask the same question. Street tread anywhere but the street is silly. Either way they worked perfect for that test.
@@thomasweatherford8930 idiot
That EZ Pour company also makes a vent for the backside so the gas/diesel flows better due to airflow.
From what I've noticed this is way better than that auto sock I've been hearing about. Thanks for the hack! This will help me a lot when I Uber/lyft on the ice.
Maybe you should try the auto sock rather than just hearing about it.
This is great! We have about 8 in. so far here in Boone and it's still falling.
Now if I can just make it to the store to buy the zip ties, I'll be good...😛
Zip ties and Duct Tape!!!!! Can fix anything. :)
Daniel Bunch Trex is better.
Daniel Bunch the direction of the tires is wrong on a few of them
Daniel if Zip Ties & duct tape can't fix it, you're not using enough!
Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it does muffle the noise!
Zip ties, duct tape, and paracord fix it all!
You still can buy The easy pour gas cans here in New Brunswick Canada
Im really digging those fuel cell oakleys. Ive had mine for about 10yrs, and theyve been stepped on, sat on, dropped, etc. Only thing ive done is replaced original lenses with polarized lenses and they’re awesome.
Been doing this on the motorcycle for years when I'm in sticky mud. Always works for me
I seen some other vid, that there are actually snow zip ties, that have tiny teeth in them and are legal where chains are required. They are ORANGE in color. tc
I like you! You're always so jolly and happy!
Thanks!...sometimes I get down..but most times I'm up and rockn!!
Bear Springs Farm, thanks you for the Gas Can replacement idea.
Pretty Cool, try. Zip tying some small branches for deep snow or mud, GREAT VIDEO. Thanks
I’ve spilled more gas with the new “safety” caps then I have with the old school cans. I just buy the old school metal cans that don’t have the stupid safety caps
Also they make “snow chain” zip ties for this purpose. They’re super long and have a 7” section with nubs for grip
Yep just bought some...gonna try them out first snow this year
7:30 you're welcome... this guy likes to babble
babbabbabbabbabba....kinda like that?
What the hell are you talking about? You like to babble, he likes to talk about proper details and information that comes in handy.
And 1.5 speed
My thoughts also!
if you ziptie your car and drive it on snow, it will snap. i've tryed it on snow on both driv6e wheel
thanks for the video, lot of people not paying attention about you saying the tires were on wrong.
I love those gas can ex pour kits have a few of them I found the cap that comes with the gas can sometimes works better then the caps that come with the kit
Not sure how much of a difference it would make but those are directional tires on the back and you have them on the wrong way
I think the best thing is to get rid of those tires dont' you?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer he address that in the video
On the fuel can fix ....go get bolt in tire valve stems remove the core and keep the cap.. drill and install...bam now you got a real vent
LOL - fun channel!
Gonna have to get me some of those Zip Grips! Whoooo!
Thanx for sharin'!
Welcome! Glad to see a new viewer!
I always have bungee cords and ratchet straps on my vehicle to tie stuff down, I bet those would work in a pinch. Zip ties are awesome and I use small ones all the time for electric wires. I didn't know about these big ones. I will have to look for those.
What about twisting the zip ties so that you have more of a helical sort of pattern? That way they would grip more.
Yep...good point...see I needed ya here dude!
Footprints in the snow. I was with you the whole time.
Josh
Don't worry about turning those tires around everybody's got to complain make jokes insult people etc. all the Z rating means is that I can go over 100 miles an hour but you won't be doing. Also the VA tread is just the disperse water on highway so you don't hydroplane. I'd leave them on there for the summer I think they look great
Woooo
Wooo!
All he has to do is swap them side to side and the tread will be in the right direction......it would take ten minutes
It doesn’t really matter if you turn them around or not it’s not gonna help it have traction it’s simply for rain and hydroplaning I think the max speed on his machine is maybe 30 to 40 miles an hour it’s his farm it’s his ATV you TV whatever it’s called let him enjoy his life
Thanks Einstein
No problem Zeke I mean geek
Zip tied side stopped spinning then the other side starts spinning haha, cool video
Hey Josh great idea. I zip tied my son's little ride on John Deere Gator tires. He has been buzzing through the yard tonight.
lol
You can buy zipties made for emergency winter use
Yep watch whole video...all this is detailed brotha
Not an expert but i do believe those tires are directional and they are backward dont know if it maters on a gator lol
LOL....what better way to test the zip tie theory...with tires that get absolutely no traction
you are right,the tires are mounted wrong side.
Yup noticed to. Was wondering how many commented on that
8 min mark he says they are backwards lol I have to watch full thing before I comment next time.
Yep, there directional and going the wrong way.
ask a hvac installer for some bigger ties or buy 36"-48" catamounts and they reach around tire. they will also work to clamp brakes and drive line when messing with the electrician on job site lol. Or place just one on a drive line and watch them try to figure out the snapping noise every time they roll lol
Good stuff I just learned something new!!!
Those are directional tires and you put them on backwards if you flip them it will help a ton
Yep....watch whole video...we discuss this brotha
But can't you just put the tires on the opposite side of the gator? Sure seems so.
I have the same tires on my car , mounted properly , and they SUCK in the snow!!
I'm putting a pack zip ties in my car just in case. That's pretty slick.
New gas cans are the most w.p.o.ss. I don't know who's idea it was but he needs to go back to pounding sand for a living.
Lovely snow.....good job to try something new...
That's a sweet trick... Thanks for sharing
Man I believe you have the tread on your tires backwards
Yessir thanks
*learns what open differential means, "the wheel that was spinning ain't spinning no more"
Loved your video! Keep them coming
I was about to comment about those tires being backwards, but I see that you commented on that :D
Tread has to push water out, so always place the pointy part going forward.
Why did you ruin your utv with those wheels and tires? Lol
That's like saying you ruined your car by putting fuzzy dice on the mirror....the wheels and tires come off brotha...I wouln't need zip ties if I had UTV tires on it...demonstration purposes
But you put it in 4x4 (for demonstraton purposes) right??😬😬😬
If it moves and it's not supposed to: Duct Tape... If it won't move and it is supposed to: WD-40... LOL
If those don't work hit it with a hammer
Engineering 101
Excellent videos. Subbed ! 👍🏻
What!! Awesome. Good stuff!
You can take the gator out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the gator!
@No worries Mate - How do you take the Rats out of the Hood? LOL
the tires are facing the right way if hes going backwards
Oh wow. It does actually work! Amazing!! 🙂👍
I'm glad you know your tires are backwards. That was bugging me. Lol
I think adding a little weight in the rear sounds good, too.
I agree!
you also installed that back tire on the wrong side
Yep...if ya watched the whole video this is all discussed brotha
I haven't made it through the video, but I saw the same thing first off. Put a lot of directional tires on when I was working in a garage in high school and college. Performance tires are not much on slick stuff anyway. Before you plan on those being your summer tires run them over wet grass. I left an S-10 in a field until my neighbor could help me pull it out.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Well I watched it all the way through and never saw or heard a mention of it. It has to be obvious to everyone that watched it all you had to do was swap side.
@Steven Booth i'm thinkin' the 'y' in Stoney Ridge Farmer is pronounced like a 'd'. lol
those aren't tires
those are high-heels for a straight man's vehicle!
LOL They are high heels that's for sure...I pulled them off about a week after the video...worthless in winter...but fun no less...I'll bet I'm the only gator rolling on 20s!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer because everyone else realizes how stupid it is
Great video, I was curious to see how they worked.
Great video!
Why would you put those tires and wheels on a gator????
victor hernandez because he can ..because its his property and money he’s spends
Because why not
Lol
Because Trump
Just put proper tyres on!
Obviously that's a great solution....but wont teach us much in this case .....wont likely snow anymore this year...it's ok to have a bit of fun on the farm
you didn't understand the video
Have seen people drink bottles with a straw, it’s bent over the neck of bottle to let air in. You could do that with a bit of hosepipe.
great job
The reason that the tire with out the zip tie is spinning and the tire with isn’t, is becuase when you don’t have your locker Engadged it is an open differential and there for the tire with the least amount of load on it. Or in your case (the least amount of traction) is going to want to spin
Short answer: barely
Agreed
Nice hack! The other thing they did away with on gas cans was the breather hole...that made all the diff in the world. Some people actually drilled their own.
Love the gas can hack...great blog...I mean Vlog. I’m in!
Remember that's for water cans only
Stoney Ridge Farmer...of course, that’s what I meant...
man are you serious? it took you 6.30 to show the damn results come on man!
You took another 45 seconds to write an insulting comment..so I think you had some time on your hands
Stoney Ridge Farmer i did not insult you. Just wrote my opinion. A litle negative feedback
Keep your mouse on time slider. very handy in most youtube instructional vids.
Duct Tape and a hammer will get you out of a problem 95 percent of the time. This includes altercations:)
Very informative...another way just to get you out when your drive tires are stuck in snow is use your rubber floor mat. Stick it under your drive tires and you will move....
Thats great , now wat can i use for black ice on road
no the ridiculas thing is you put car tires and wheels on a gator
yep...I like to spice things up...and have fun around the farm
First to like and comment
LIKE
Lol i had a feeling that was going to happen with those wheels.. but you do what you like trial en error like it
What's life without a bit of fun brotha!
Awesome stuff
7:35 You're in 4x4, and you engaged the rear locker. This video isn't about zip ties at all. It's about 4x4 and lockers vs 2x4. Seriously man, you've got to do better.
You can lock the fuckin rear wheels on a gator you dumbass
@@soda_1122 Front driverside tire. He switched into 4x4
When facing the right direction Those tires are good for rain traction thanks for the good tip
I was gonna tell you those tires are directional tires but by the time I saw this video I figured you’d already found out. lol. Anyway that is a good idea with those zip ties. What would we do without baling wire, duct tape and zip ties. Another good video.
8:11 Exactly, I got in my car in northern Spain a set of Michelin CrossClimate tyres and their pattern is very similar. They are just all weather, not full winter tyres but perform spectaculary well on snow and ice, so I was wondering why yours (although have another brand) are so bad. Of course, they are wrongly installed, you could get a different performance if they were well installed.
"its my lawn too"....thumbs up:)
if anybody goes the ezpour route try it without the vent first. you may not need it. works fine for the smaller tanks but i don't know how fast it will come out. and thanks for another cool video.
Man...without the vent...they are horrible...I messed up and didn't put the vent in my diesel cans for the tractor...what a pain!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer i kinda figured that. if i ever have to replace my 2 1/2 gallon can i doubt i can get away with it. you may be too young to remember the old soda and beer cans before the pull tops came out when you poked the hole with the can opener than poked the little vent hole on the other side. lol
Thank you Josh!
sir is that zip grip can i drive with it on the free way or it only used when i stucked in the snow ? , i only drive for 4 years so i don't have enough experience
Got stuck in a snow covered field could go backward but not forward.
Thankfully there were slots in my wheels & some room.
So I took an old water hose cut it up and tied several pieces to each rear tire.
Drove right out & after a few miles on the asphalt they self removed themselves.
had a tension pulley go out on highway. I put a wrench on it to tighten the belt then zip tied the other end of the wrench to the A/C line & drove 60 miles home.
Yeh after I wrote that I heard you talk about it.
All that work. Living in the NY I find it easier just to take a small stick or twig or a bunch of them against the front of the tire. Pine branches work good too. Best thing about using twigs and sticks is they are everywhere.
there ya go brotha!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer
I study a lot of history... mostly wwii history. A lot of the time, if a jeep or troop truck got stuck in snow or mud, soldiers would take some branches and put them against the tires for traction. Please note however, this was when they didn’t have someone to tow them out. And it didn’t always work. If the mud or snow was too deep, then this technique didn’t work.
Pretty impressive for using just 1 knuckle of the zip tie @long the center of tires, but if you tie wrapped 2 knuckles @long the width of the tires @ the same interval around the tire should theoretically increase your push-per-area
Haha!
I put a set of blingy 18s on my work gator off my wifes mustang as a prank for my boss but we love them on it!
Great helpful hack! Lol. And entertaining as well. Why not have some fun,?
Amen!
Nice work ..
Nice tip Sir
If you're just on the farm.... try using some small diameter pvc or some type of tubing and the zip tie. Almost like a paddle wheel......
I know this would not help in the snow but your rear tire is on the wrong sides you need to switch them so the tire grip pattern would be facing forward. Thanks for the tip with the zip ties
Wow that will help me in the future
Just wondering u have a lot of aerosol cans what do you do once their empty
recycle...or shoot then recycle
take a look at the vp gas can, the ones they make for raceing. there nice...
Ill point out that due to an open differential the tire with the least amount of traction will always spin. The open differential allows the tires to move at different speeds. Like when you make a turn the outside wheel travels further or has to rotate more.
5 or 10 chain links plus a 6- 8 inch bungee cord installed the same way.
we have rescued so many vehicles this way that we just keep a few in each vehicle now.
What kinda Seiko are you wearing
Is it an SKX?
Awesome!
Outstanding
Not a long term solution but definitely great in an emergency situation.
