Excellent video Ep30 Snow Too Deep for Snowmobile (Cinder block Stone rocket fire - improvised stove.) incredible snow shoe hike to recover stalled tractor. True fortitude to get it done. Great work.
On running the tractor in the snow, get a set of tire chains in it. We logged all winter with a W-9. With chains it will go through a lot deeper snow than you have there.
The tractor in the snow when it first broke down would make a great calendar picture!! Beautiful scene. Thanks for filming this for us. It must have been tough. I liked seeing the propane tank! That tractor is some tough and so are you!!
AMEN !!! You got your Tractor out, glad it can be safely stored for the winter. I wanted so much to grab my shovel from my tool shed and help you dig out your tractor and snow mobile... U got stuck alot! My God thats alot of snow. You def work really hard and have alot of determination. I would have totally gotten fustrated. You kept your cool. Take care from your fellow Outsider 💪 Good video.
Watching your videosis a good pass time . I live off grid ,love old tractors.As a carpenter I'm very impressed with the cabin build!!!! I wish I would have done logs instead on mine . You da man!!!
HOLY MOLY!!!! I'm glad you have a healthy heart and are fit! Man all that work plus recording all of it. OMG so much work!! You'll have to get a snow blower for the front of your tractor. Thanks so much for sharing and all the hard work.
you wouldn't believe what a difference a set of chains would make. We used them in the mountains of northern NM in the snow for skidding logs out in the winter.
Looks like fun. Especially the shoveling. Some times the individual snowfalls are shallow enough to drive through and then if you keep repeating after each snowfall the snow gets packed down and turns to ice. And it's like driving on cement. Even if you the pack the trail the tires will take by walking on them that will be sometimes be a big help. Especially in the soft/muddy section. If you pack it down it should freeze solid if you don't let snow build up on it. And like someone else mentioned throwing down small logs etc. In this part of the world, much of the logging that is/was done was done during the winter when the swamps are froze over. But you have to deal with those soft spots by somehow exposing them to the cold and letting them freeze over. Sometimes you just have to let it go. But try you must. There's nothing like a tractor ride through a swamp when the cedar boughs are heavy with snow and the woods if full of hare tracks.
Looks like a great adventure sometimes being physically wore out can be very satisfying , if the task at hand was accomplished, which seems the case. Thanks Love the content.
Great work and determination Brother! Especially through that slough of despond. Can't believe you had the energy to film as much as you did. To be young again!
You sir need a wide track 8-900 sled with proper suspension. Snow like that is nothing for the newer, lighter, and more powerful machines. Great video by the way:)
i was wondering about that. any time i see videos or shows with secluded snowy places like this, someone gets their snow mobile stuck and low and behold it's some sort of 80's model. I do NOT doubt t hat these places get more extreme weather but, i've seen modified newer snowmobiles run down lakes and rivers no problems for hours on end on youtube. i might also bet the those newer machines cost 5 figures.
cdoublejj you can buy a capable mountain snowmobile used for around 4-5 thousand dollars but a utility snowmobile like a skidoo tundra would work best in his application
Dang snow! We had a bit o snow out here in NY, but in a unique three days; after being piled about 9inches high, it was swept away by some rain and a nice couple of degrees. Good thing you were able to dig it out.
Here’s a tip man, if your snowmobile gets stuck don’t shovel out in front of it. Instead sit in front of it, grab the front bumper with your hands, and kick/ shove as much snow as you can under it with your feet. Doing this will feed the sled snow for traction.
Never pull from the bumper pull from the spindle that’s what they teach in the class to get a snowmobile license. Also I’m very fine powder like this that method wouldn’t have worked very well
@@calebm.5698 what, is your bumper for cosmetic reasons? If its too weak to pull from you should be buying a different sled, and as mentioned in the previous comment he's saying to push snow under the track to compact it and give the sled something to work with. Fine powder or not its going to compact and be bulkier once you force it under there and all the movement up front is going to open up the path in front of it as well. You might need to pull from the spindle for your license but if you ever go anywhere other than a trail you can pretty much throw it out the window if thats what they are teaching you. Not that it matters, the sled was woefully inadequate for that kind of snow anyways. A locking differential or chains for the tractor would probably be a good idea...
Wish we had the same problem... January thaw came over a week ago in Ontario Canada and we are still eagerly awaiting winter to return to shoot some more snowmobile edits!
Little trick for those types of tread get a long bristle brush and mount to your fenders to clear snow and mud from the tread before it reaches Back to ground a lot more traction to the wheels I find on mine it immediately improves sliding on the back end
The rocket stove I built works well, similar to the way you did it, but I built it on the ground with some bricks in front so wood can be fed into it. Having 4 to 5 blocks high of chimney helps get the rocket effect going with the additional draft. If you make your chimney taller, it will work better.
Watching you with the snowmobile the thought drifted through that technology does not always win against the elements. The important thing is to recognize when that is the truth. Poor camera, great tractor. Brian 77
I have a massey 65 have tire chains and having them you'll sail through even that mud hole I love those era massey's also have a massey 135. I love your video thank for making them
@@fishiganstate3880 Yup, that grin was pretty funny. The go pro did not stand a chance against Goliath! But just like David, it survived using tricks (soft snow) for survival.
those old sleds have such small lugs in the track...1/4 or 1/2 inch, I believe...now they are like paddles... 2 inch or more.... brings back a lot of memories of "sleding"...lol
Great vid once again!! Thanks so much for sharing. Maybe you could corduroy the mud hole.... that's what "boss of the swamp" does and it works like a gem. Glad you got the tractor back safe. You are one persistent guy!! God Bless!! From Texas :)
Old time woodsmen used to corduroy the roads through swampy and muddy areas by laying down 5 & 6 inch logs side by side across the wet areas. Of course this was done before the kinds of woods machinery we use today were available. When I was a kid I have seen corduroy roads built over a distance of a half mile long. And hundreds of cords of pulp wood were hauled over them in both summer and winter on sleds pulled by teams of horses. Those were the days. If you haven't seen teams of horses pulling big sled loads of logs out of the woods and heard those harness bells ringing and the teamsters talking encouragement to their horses you haven't really lived.
Pretty impressive especially for no chains. Don’t forget you can always crank the flywheel via pto or actual crank if you could find some sort of tool to crank it. Or buy an old hand crank n keep it with tractor.
They actually used to make a ski for tractors. You might check into it? Or get a bettee snow machine with better longer trac that will float you up ontop of the snow. That Jag you've got is just too short a trac. Also can get a plastic powder set of skis will help too. I live in Alaska and have had snow machines for many years.
OMG. That was the best video to date;) I have a quad but your video made me want to trade it in on a tractor!!!! Thanks for taking the time to record this day!! Don Westbank BC Canada
Nice thinking on the rocket stove, defiantly better and more efficient than a big fire! Lol what a coincidence also, I think in a comment I left a long time ago I mentioned doing the same but instead about a rocket mass *heater* (not stove) as a heating source for you cabin when it's complete. Anyway, love your videos, keep em coming!
My plan is to install a corduroy road through the mud-hole in the spring. Unfortunately, there's no use in cutting a road around it, because we'd just end up making another mud-hole if we did. The water runs close to the surface under the soil in many places where I am.
Lol. I would’ve tried the tractor too. I would weld up some modifications lake put the sled or a skid anyway under the front axle so it doesn’t get buried and then maybe with some chance you can get through a lot nastier stuff. Same with the sled I would just build some side skirts on it to help float it on top of the snow when it got really soft. I have no idea if that would work on the snowmobile or not but I would probably try it. I also wonder if a little wedge on the front of the tractor just to push the snow to both sides would help. 🤔 I think it would be fun to try anyway. I’ve never lived anywhere with snow quite like yours since I was a teenager and I’ve never had the chance to play around with ideas like that. I’d love it. 😜
You know you've got some serious snow when your snowmobile won't do the job. Seems you need a mountain sled with 2.5 inch lugs on the track. ;) Either that or a 20" wide bearcat or Skandic WT. Perhaps you could also head out to the cabin a little more often with the snowmobile and break trail and pull a weighted flat bottom sled to act as a trail groomer. This way you'd develop a nicely packed trail and make subsequent trips in and out easier.
Your property is just like mine. Just to get there can be a struggle. The advantage is that you never get any unwanted visitors. A couple of chains on the tires would help a lot.
We had the most snow at my house since I have lived there this past December. A total of seven inches. Enough to cause my town in sunny Alabama to grind to a halt.
I think you have already upgraded the tractor by the time I am seeing this video, but. Tire chains on the back tires of the tractor would have helped a lot even if just the weight to help pack snow. You needed to flip the hitch up or off for what you where doing. Any kind of blade in the front would have made it worse in the mud. The electric winch you have would have been helpful if mounted on tractor for skidding logs and getting out. Your videos are excellent and your narration is nice to listen to. Often when the snow is deep the ground is not frozen hard and soft, which adds to the issues of driving a low bellied tractor in the deep snow, you did a great job using the brakes to switch wheels.
That tractor is a life saver! It should be noted that the "average joe" on any given tractor can't so this. YOu have become one with your machine and you know what it can and can't do. Joe Average should watch this and think he can push his 50+ year old tractor beyond it's limits and be successful all the time.
Woo hoo!!!! Very cool indeed Have you thought about laying some logs in a “bridge“ fashion over the mud hole? Some small cedars would work really well, and last a long time because of the pitch in them. Great videos thank you
If you are an auction lover, go to an auction of snowmobiles. There is an old timing snow mobile called a husky. It has tracks in front, you sit on a trailer and drive it. Its not fast or good looking, but rarely gets stuck.
I recently subbed and I just wanted to leave a comment saying that your videos literally make me so relaxed :) Cheers to hoping your channel gets bigger!🤘🏻
I'd get a set of chains on that tractor, even in the mud it will do better. I'd also look at altering that drag bar on the back, there must be a way to modify it, so that it can swing up out of the way when not in use, or when you have a mud hole situation. It looked to me like that drag bar was also causing you troubles in the snow. That is a great little tractor, take good care of it, fix the stupid little things that can leave you stranded and you will have a good solid workhorse that won't let you down, Love you videos! Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
got an 8n stuck like that once... had to hoof it back to the barn and get a bigger tractor to pull it out... never thought a snowmobile could get stuck like that though... around here they just never work most of the time...
So glad that you were able to get your tractor home through the snow .
Excellent video

YOU HAVE GOT SOME SERIOUS BALL'S FOR LIFE YOUNG MAN, BRILLIANT, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE MICK FROM UK
I've been watching you for some time and I think it's awesome how you and your father always work together. That's very special...
On running the tractor in the snow, get a set of tire chains in it. We logged all winter with a W-9. With chains it will go through a lot deeper snow than you have there.
Good day. When we were on farm we W-6 with heavy duty chains on, went almost thur everything Thanks
I plow with my w-4
i plow with my 135
The tractor in the snow when it first broke down would make a great calendar picture!! Beautiful scene. Thanks for filming this for us. It must have been tough. I liked seeing the propane tank! That tractor is some tough and so are you!!
Thank you guys or girls from France . And thanks again for the POUTINE , Love them Curd Clumps two.
I'm impressed. You set up camera angles even while trudging through the snow. That's dedication!
Awesome and arduous journey my friend so many thanks for your video. It was well composed. Glad you made it back home safely.
AMEN !!! You got your Tractor out, glad it can be safely stored for the winter. I wanted so much to grab my shovel from my tool shed and help you dig out your tractor and snow mobile... U got stuck alot! My God thats alot of snow. You def work really hard and have alot of determination. I would have totally gotten fustrated. You kept your cool.

HOLY MOLY!!!! I'm glad you have a healthy heart and are fit! Man all that work plus recording all of it. OMG so much work!! You'll have to get a snow blower for the front of your tractor. Thanks so much for sharing and all the hard work.
I was holding my breath the first time through the mud hole and then you go a second time, amazing! Love that tractor. Thanks
Kate Oliver agree
hard work pays off....your a strong young man and you make a great video....and a great voice......
Never underestimate old tractors. They were made to be beat and worked. They will never let you down

Neat old Tractor, Amazing what they can do!!
Looks like a great adventure sometimes being physically wore out can be very satisfying , if the task at hand was accomplished, which seems the case. Thanks Love the content.
Great work and determination Brother! Especially through that slough of despond. Can't believe you had the energy to film as much as you did. To be young again!
Thanks Canesser! I like your nickname for the mud-hole. I might have to use that. Pilgrims Progress, am I right?
Indeed, and after watching you get out of it the last time it came right to mind. You battle through the lessons of life like a champ Brother!
Man !, what an adventure, I was rooting for ya to get through all the way !, glad it turned out alright. Thanks for sharing.
You sir need a wide track 8-900 sled with proper suspension. Snow like that is nothing for the newer, lighter, and more powerful machines. Great video by the way:)

I have a 2007 Polaris RMK 700 with a 155 track and it would breeze through that
I love ice and snow... It was amazing to watch
Great case of never giving up!! Way to go!!
Awesome Tractor . .... love it 👍
Dang snow! We had a bit o snow out here in NY, but in a unique three days; after being piled about 9inches high, it was swept away by some rain and a nice couple of degrees. Good thing you were able to dig it out.
You need a good set of tires chains that will help you out 100x 👍
Agree 100%. When I was growing up, the chains came out for the Farmall ever winter. No problems.
I second that.Chains make a world of difference.
+4

Agreed!
You remind me so much of Macklemore. "What what what what"

That ole McCormick runs pretty good! 👍👍
That old gal still has power.i always wanted one,for all the work I want to do around my cabin.
Amazing determination! Great job, and sorry about all that trouble. Sometimes things don't always go as planned. See you on the next one buddy!
Oh man God has surely blessed you sir with some deep seeded patience with life the rest of us could surely use xo
Skiing is a lot easier than walking with snow shoes. At least I think so. Love form Norway
Being able to learn from our mistakes is the best we can do. You are wise.
When the snow is that dry I'd be taking the day off to go skiing. Nice video.
Wow. the Beast Tractor. Respekt Brother. Many Greetings from Germany :-)
Your voice is outstanding for storytelling, vlogging and narration. Love your channel and thank you for sharing your journey with us.
One of the best snow video's I ever seen
Wow that's an adventure kudo's young man!
When a snowmobile gets stuck on level terrain you've got a lotta snow! Good luck brother!
lol Thanks Silas!
Wish we had the same problem... January thaw came over a week ago in Ontario Canada and we are still eagerly awaiting winter to return to shoot some more snowmobile edits!

You need a nice extended track mountain sled with the 3" paddle track living out there with all of that snow.
With all that digging there is no gym required for a workout anymore ;-) Keep the good work coming. Cheers
Those were my thoughts exactly. lol
We'd use the old Elans when I worked in Algonquin Park. Small, light and they went anywhere. Nice job!
What I wouldn't give to be running an Elan. Those machines are, pound for pound, the best sleds ever made. In my opinion at least.
I have a massey 65 have tire chains and having them you'll sail through even that mud hole I love those era massey's also have a massey 135. I love your video thank for making them
That is some serious snow. I do like the rocket stove.
after it was out, it was looking lick fun to drive
13:05 R.I.P little camera, you will be missed.
lol If my GoPro camera ever gained sentience, it would surely hate me for everything I've put it through. Still works though!
I was hoping to see the footage from that gopro.
Also the grin on your face when you ran it over😅
@@fishiganstate3880 Yup, that grin was pretty funny. The go pro did not stand a chance against Goliath! But just like David, it survived using tricks (soft snow) for survival.

In the spring try building a log bridge over the mudhole, or cut a path around it.
My plan is to install a corduroy road through the mud-hole in the spring. Unfortunately, there's no use in cutting a road around it, because we'd just end up making another mud-hole if we did. The water runs close to the surface under the soil in many places where I am.
The Outsider When you build that I would love to see the highlights of the process in a video. Especially if the bandsaw mill is used for some of it.
Mark Conger Will do!
Mark Conger agree
Good Video! I use chains on my old W4 tractor. It's a tight fit with the fenders, but they do work.
Good to know! Thanks!
uptrail71 agree
Iam impressed how much snow your tractor goes through with no chains, gives more confidence in mine with four wheel drive an chains
You bet!
That was fun to watch.
Nice job getting it out of there.
Lol. I would’ve tried the tractor too. I would weld up some modifications lake put the sled or a skid anyway under the front axle so it doesn’t get buried and then maybe with some chance you can get through a lot nastier stuff.

You know you've got some serious snow when your snowmobile won't do the job. Seems you need a mountain sled with 2.5 inch lugs on the track. ;) Either that or a 20" wide bearcat or Skandic WT.
Perhaps you could also head out to the cabin a little more often with the snowmobile and break trail and pull a weighted flat bottom sled to act as a trail groomer. This way you'd develop a nicely packed trail and make subsequent trips in and out easier.
This was a HIGHLY entertaining story. I'm subbed!
Your property is just like mine. Just to get there can be a struggle. The advantage is that you never get any unwanted visitors. A couple of chains on the tires would help a lot.
Great video ....... you have a very good voice for narrating ....
We had the most snow at my house since I have lived there this past December. A total of seven inches. Enough to cause my town in sunny Alabama to grind to a halt.
You need a wide track skandic 24 inches; it's the best workhorse for winter when you work in forest. I've never been stalled .
I think you have already upgraded the tractor by the time I am seeing this video, but. Tire chains on the back tires of the tractor would have helped a lot even if just the weight to help pack snow. You needed to flip the hitch up or off for what you where doing. Any kind of blade in the front would have made it worse in the mud. The electric winch you have would have been helpful if mounted on tractor for skidding logs and getting out. Your videos are excellent and your narration is nice to listen to. Often when the snow is deep the ground is not frozen hard and soft, which adds to the issues of driving a low bellied tractor in the deep snow, you did a great job using the brakes to switch wheels.
I think the tractor did a great job without 4 wheel drive.
That tractor is a boss! 6N?
It has 2 wheel drive but you can't turn with it
That tractor is a life saver! It should be noted that the "average joe" on any given tractor can't so this. YOu have become one with your machine and you know what it can and can't do. Joe Average should watch this and think he can push his 50+ year old tractor beyond it's limits and be successful all the time.

I mean a new Summit X would be nice but...LOL
That tractor is a beast
That tractor is a good old girl, i cried watching her get through.
Great old tractor
Sitting in the tropics it is an escape to follow the challenges of the snow.
I enjoy your videos a lot. You should get one of the drones that follow you around. And you won't have to run them over. Great Job!!
Glad you got Wilbur home
