    We are a family owned and operated Dairy Farm in Michigan.
    We finally got enough snow to ride the snowmobiles. Sanders needs to get a couple buckets of grain and decides it would be better to haul them using the snowmobile. Ethan has finished restoring his 1971 Massey Ferguson Ski Whiz and takes me for a little ride.

    Cool machine. Our dad ( 6 kids) was a M.F. partsman, so had some use of these( 400&404)( I think)machines.Lots of fun for us kids. I had a whirlwind in my adult years.

    We used to have an old Moto-Ski and a Rupp 440 in the 70s, had a ball on them in the fields and out on the lakes. I remember the old Masseys some people around us had them.

    Thank you, Guys!

  • @stephanecharbonneau3071

    Did you know that snowmobiles came from a guy named Joseph Armand Bombardier from Québec Canada. Due to the fact that during a snowstorm, his son died due to road blocks. So he coundn't bring him in time to the hospital. With that in mind he invented the first snowmobile capable of going through heavy winter storms with many feet deep of snow without any problems so he "maybe somewhow could" save some lives! And it was back in 1936!
    I'm following the little family from a littlle while ago and I must say continue on 'cause you are one great North-American family that we can identify to!

    Wow! A functional Ski Whiz with an original track! I have not seen one of those for years. Last time I saw the neighbors Ski Whiz, I was riding our 1969 Ski Doo Nordic 371cc electric start. Early 70’s, almost 50 years ago.
    Just be glad that you didn’t get the amount of snow that Nova Scotia, Canada got. The cow chores just keep coming no matter how much snow or cold. They just require more hay.

    My Grand Daddy was a Massey Ferguson dealer in Oxford , NC use to see the snow machine in brochures but have never seen one in person . Cool ! Kenny Rogers use to say that you have to have (3) things to make life complete . Something to love , something to do & something to look forward to and if any one thing is missing life is not complete . I think it’s pretty true . Y’all work so hard I’m glade y’all are playing hard and having Fun !

      Rhonda something that will help is a boot dryer. I have 1 at home & 1 in the shop. If your muck boots are dry & warm with 85% to 100% cotton or wool socks are a must.
      Good luck from north east Montana.
