  • Spent a few days installing upgrades on our Can-Am Defenders and playing with the kids. A test drive to our bin site ended up being a fix the seed bin day!

    Good to see your kids giggling and having a blast being towed in the snow. That’s what childhoods are supposed be like.

      I agree. I recall us getting a snow and being pulled on an old pickup hood and having a blast.

      I remember sledding down my uncles land. He'd make a track with his tractor and we'd sled down a mountain like half a mile. It was a blast. Rip Uncle Mike

    Love to see that time with the kids. Don't EVER not spend time with them. YOU are building precious memories and times that will warm your hearts for EVER!! You will NOT regret it!! And neither will they. You can teach them SO much by doing. They are this world's most precious asset, teach them well!! Our whole future is in their hearts and minds. (NO pressure) I think you are doing pretty well. Blessings on all of you..

    I think the last year I had with my grandfather was the funnest. Although we didn't know that he was dying from pancreatic cancer we still strive to have a great time with them. I'll never forget sledding up on our farm here in North Idaho but instead of using normal sleds we use canoes and kayaks the funnest time we ever had. Unfortunately my 75-year-old grandmother ended up getting a black eye from when the dog jumped over her but you know that's just part of it. I just want to say thank you so much for playing out videos that my family and I enjoy watching. I know I've said this on a couple of your videos before but it feels so good to come on to this channel after having a horrible day and hearing kids laugh and watching my kids laugh because it looks like you guys are having a great time. there been times that I've watched your content go out and it's brought back memories. I urge you guys to keep doing what you're doing cuz your content is actually be cleanest I've seen for a long long time my family and I watch you guys constantly and we enjoy it the biggest reason why is I can put it on for a youth group or a small group and not be embarrassed by the things that you guys are talking about. It is very obvious that the Lord is in the center of everything that you guys do and that is exactly why we enjoy watching you guys I just want to say thank you from the Wagner family

    • @The777017
      @The777017 Před rokem +2

      Also I just feel like you guys should know that we actually did use one of your videos actually two of them the one where you guys got completely healed out last harvest season and then also the other season where you guys got held out and your brother just said that God's in control. We actually use that as a center of one of our small group discussions. We just want you guys to know that you guys reached more than 25 people at our last small group meeting because of one of your videos so yeah I just want to say thank you.

    A trick for plowing snow on a gravel driveway and minimizing the amount of gravel you pull up. Take a piece of 1 1/2" or 2" PVC pipe the length of your blade's cutting edge. Cut a slot straight down one side of the pipe. Shove the split in the pipe over the cutting edge on the snow blade. This will minimize the amount of gravel you pull up, but still let you plow your driveway pretty clean. I've been doing this for several years now.

    “So I can hear, Uncle Nick please stop” 😂 Farm kids have the life!! Our son had his 1st 4-wheeler when he was 3. Oh how I miss our little barn full of animals in the PA mountains. My husband pulled us on a sled through a trail in the woods. We survived too! 😂

  • @clydeacor1911
    @clydeacor1911 Před rokem +1

    It's awesome to see that the old car hood tradition is living on. My dad always had a 1940's to 1950's car or pickup hood to pull us kid's behind the old John Deere 4020 in the deep snow in the fields, it worked awesome because the hood was tall in the front so we didn't have a lot of snow coming over the front. Since those are liquid cooled engines it'd probably be really easy to put some kind of after market heater box in that side by side. It's great that you take the time to spend with the kid's giving them memories that will really mean something to them down the road and they'll always have these videos to look back on.

    Skid shoes is probably the term for the feet underneath the snowplow that keep you from destroying the ground as you run the snowplow over it

    • @bradh7472
      @bradh7472 Před rokem

      Exactly. You usually use these on your first few plowing jobs, then once its frozen you don't need them anymore because the plow will skid across the frozen snow.

  • @keithfrazier2558
    @keithfrazier2558 Před rokem

    Maybe get you some belting material and put on top of the plow to help the snow from coming over the top. They do the same on bigger plows to help it roll over.

    I too have a gravel driveway. Those skidders will always leave a layer of snow every time you plow. I mounted a 2 inch steel pipe on the bottom of my atv plow. I no longer leave a layer of snow or mess up my gravel driveway when I plow.

    @gregwilson9105 Před rokem

    My friend and I call those wire connectors create a shorts. You are right, they are not very weather tight. Put some RTV gasket maker or silicone on the ends. It may not be completely weather tight, but it should help keep the water out a best it can. Thanks for all you do, God Bless.

    @NeisenTransport Před rokem

    Little advice for the utv blade. Don't use the stops they don't work work very well and just leave grooves. Just get a piece of rubber belting and bolt on between the cutting edge and plow hanging out about an inch. Much more forgiving and can push faster without the blade wanting to jump. Thanks for content. God Bless.

    My gramps pulled his girls then later the grandkids on a tabogon behind his tractor. Then dad did that with me and my brother and mom. Now i do it for my nieces and ive done it once when my cousin came up to michigan with his kids. Thats our family tradition. It was fun getting the rides but i love to give the rides and ive been leaving the back blade on and sometimes i drop it then give a nice hump when i raise it up. Ive grown up using the backblade to move the snow. Have fun with the kids
