    • @simpledj509chromo7
      @simpledj509chromo7 Před rokem +4

      On paper that might seem like a good idea, but they are way too heavy to be in soft snow. You couldn't reasonably get enough surface area underneath it to support the 50,000ish pounds that they weigh.

    As an Alaskan who's the part of a trail committee. I can concur. The worst thing on earth is a dead snowcat. When you're not spoiled with heavy equipment, it's a nightmare.
    Edit: those green shovels are the best ones you can get hands down. Everybody I know who lives rural owns one.

    • @travisk5589

    • @neilfromclearwaterfl81
      @neilfromclearwaterfl81 Před rokem

      Old fashioned coal shovels were common place when I was a kid. They use to come in a variety of sizes all made of heavy and quite durable steel.
      I believe Grainger Supply has them in steel in a variety of sizes. For snow the short handle makes the ones with the larger heads more controllable. Some will call them Scoop Shovels or Grain Shovels. The better ones can cost upwards of $100.
      I use to also carry a small 3.5 hp snow thrower (not a blower) in my W600 4X4 plow truck. Little gear redux Briggs gas engine with a spiked thrower wheel sticking out the front like a Billy Goat lawn blower. Cogged metal wheels that gripped pretty good, light weight, simple and inexpensive. Sure beat shoveling by hand in an emergency during the pitch of night while a Nor-Easter was still blowing.
      Best!

    Hi guys how are you doing? I really enjoy watching you team up with Matt's off Road for that recovery in the mountains. I wanted to know if there are any updates on finding Dylan's body. I pray every night for his mom and dad's, and can't imagine the pain and anguish they're going through, not knowing. I also wanted to say Thank you to all of your team for helping all this families, that don't have the financial means of looking for their love ones. From the bottom of my heart, and I'm sure Soo many other viewers feel the same way. May God always continue to bless you and protect each and everyone of you and your families.

  • @ldvan100
    @ldvan100 Před rokem +1

    Dave, a little trick learned over 30yrs of working on hiway trucks and large industrial engines.. Pull your air filter out so you have clear access to the intake and use preferably an oxy acetylene torch, adjust to a large neutral flame and use it to preheat intake air.. Don't do it if some rocket scientist has use starting fluid first, unless they want to lose eyebrows and a lot of hair...lol.. Diesel engines only....

    What I recommend doing for your heavier diesel recovery vehicles is building an additional building for them and keeping them heated. I spent 2 years at a firehouse in the northern Midwest and we always kept the vehicles in warm buildings, otherwise they wouldn't start up for about 15-20 minutes

    I can’t believe how much snow y’all have over there! Here in British Columbia so far this winter hasn’t done much,heck we’re already seeing little teasers of spring weather.
