Listen to this truck and road grader working together to get out of the ditch.

[@joshuanicholsjr5327]

started begging my grandfather at 14 every chance I got to get on the backhoe or the loader or the dozer by the time I was 16 was working for him 10 of the best years of my life we had that kind of connection he would just have to look at me and I would know he wanted the grade up if I was grading or little deeper on a dig miss those days your a lucky man god bless

[@lightfoottweedy5678]

Nothing better than some quality father son time together. Enjoyed the video Timmy.

[@bobbaer869]

Those roads look really slick

[@kmack8634]

I love watching heavy machine operations having been a heavy machine operator as was my father who had tickets to many machines from steam face shovels to heavy swamp dozers to heavy draglines He did a lot of canals in the fifths and sixtys .I guess machines are in my blood love your work stay safe

[@citrusfarmer]

That was fucking bad ass when he pulled that semi out. Good job Tim.

[@tomglidden7938]

Great video as always. Ain’t nothing better than dealing with things with your Dad, memories. Take care buddy!

[@Ham68229]

When you work together for some time, each knows what each is thinking and needing to do, it's called "team work" for a reason. Some people have it, some don't unfortunately. Another great video, cheers :)

[@richardhaley4576]

I think it's so cool we have a tool like you tube were we can watch good videos of people and machine's working together and u doing what u love. I've always enjoyed running equipment it's a way of life.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I chuckled watching you bounce around driving down that old bumpy county road in that grader. Funny stuff.

[@james1795]

I worked with my Dad for many years. It's a very special thing to be able to do.

[@steamfan7147]

This brings back memories,I actually know a little bit about how to operate a JD770A.The reason why is when I was a kid the county had two of them they used to maintain the roads where I lived.The road we lived on was about 4 miles long and dirt the whole way. The Grader operator was a man named Mr Hubert.I and my neighborhood friends were all about 8 or 10 at the time and everytime we heard the Grader coming we would run out to met it. Mr Hubert would stop the machine and let us kids ride in the cab with him and over a couple years he showed us all he knew about how to run that Grader,plus he had some company it what was probably a boring job. I'll always remember him and that machine,it was the neatest thing that he took the time with us.

[@scottlong6308]

Neat story. It's too bad, that there aren't many who will/can take the time to do that anymore.

[@louieduran6945]

Hey Tim, one operator to another a trick I found helped me out many times pulling on water trucks or scrapers. When the road grader starts to spin I would articulate back and forth. Made a huge difference in traction. Again thanks for the great videos...

[@MichaelMohrshipofools]

Somebody who knows what they doing. Look at that synchronization between minds and machine. All hail cotontop and crew.

[@JayKayKay7]

"It helps when you talk to these machines..." Like golf, Lee Trevino said,"You can talk to a slice, but a hook won't listen."

[@danielsweeney6742]

Tim driving that grader at 29 must feel like your going a 100!

[@thederrick1966]

I would have not guessed when I was in heavy equipment school a grader would pull a loaded semi nice video

[@aaronschoessow9567]

Its a great thing when you can work beside your dad all day! My wife gets mad when she is working around my dad and i, we communicate with out talking! She feels like shes being left out! Lol

[@tazicus]

Thank you for taking the time to film, I’m sure it’s a PITA when your working, I sure enjoy it though!

[@larrysloskysr5503]

Great video Mr Tim. Bring back memories of logging with my Dad. Yes there is a art to pulling log trucks. Lots to do all at once.

[@mattsmith6891]

Awesome video once again. Really enjoy watching you from New Zealand

[@deanbrown4512]

I enjoy you and your family, adventures and talent. Great video thank you

[@shannoncofer8798]

Me and my daughter love watching your videos. We live at the bottom of dugdown mountain outside of Polk County. We see a lot of logging trucks and we watch your videos to see what goes into what it takes to load them. So thanks again from autumn and her dad "cofer" that's me by the way....Lol

[@ingramj777]

Very cool Tim as always best wishes to you all

[@dannythomas5902]

Man that grader can move had wings it could fly Tim outstanding video

[@wlogue]

Snotty road there, nice save

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Certainly pulled a good load see ya Napa Mike

[@boskichevy]

Always sharing knowledge. Thanks and keep the videos going.

[@BK-vh3do]

loved it ..great show. Lived most of my life in the woods. thank you.

[@dthac1]

Having family in the business is a good thing, makes working together more interesting! even if its harder to fire them haha. Good video man like the equipment!

[@SwimminThelake]

Pulling trucks is an art! That is true!

[@Mercmad]

years ago when I was driving a tow truck I got called out to tow a grader out of the mud. Some guys had borrowed the local councils grader to do their own drive and got stuck. I was called in to get it out before the county foreman got back to his office and noticed it missing. I broke the tow cable twice trying to get it out using a three sheave snatch block...ha ha . used a D 9 to push it out in the end.

[@robertshoemaker4880]

Definitely need to get that switch looked at. Probably wouldn't of had any problems pulling that truck if the front wheels were locked in. I'd imagine even doing any type of grading would be extremely difficult as well.

[@blyndonmclaughlin9071]

You r a great son!

[@juniorraines5956]

Very cool video tim I enjoy watching it is so wet right now we have had 23 inch of rain in 15 days

[@B422TMack]

Great Video Tim: As my Pop used to Say: Come on out Mr. Sun & Mr. Wind & Work together to dry things out, cause I need to go back to work. Mack

[@jamessween]

Hi Cottontop, I'm a new subscriber thanks to WTFarm Girl. On this video it was a little intense. It made you think like you were a snow plower keeping the roads clear of mud LOL. I didn't think that grader was going to get that truck out, I thought it was going to be a big project.

[@cotontop3]

Thank you

[@jeffcharley3195]

As usual Tim, excellent video. Congrats on 40k+ subscribers. The sky's the limit.

[@tjsoul4813]

Great video Tim. I enjoy watching you and your dad getting it done. Keep em coming.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Have a great day Tim. Sunshine needed here too.. Take Care

[@chuckwiegand4278]

Great video lesst ya have the ability to get trucks out with grader be safe

[@ewill3081]

Good video

[@russellstill2208]

That road looks great compared to one we use in Sumter County.

[@johnwhicks8687]

Great video. You should have asked your Dad for his triple A card 😂😂😂. That’s good stuff that grader has got some power. Some awesome camera angles 👍

[@hammer7926]

Y’all need a good military 6x6 truck to forward them loaded trailers out to the good roads when you have conditions like this. Some of them have big Tulsa winches on them that can pull just about anything out.

[@leonmarut917]

good show big fella

[@dwightjones5826]

That was a good job getting the truck out without any damage

[@bigfoot-wo3qy]

They like it when you pet them and talk sweetness to them.....lol

[@timfreeman476]

Dirt track racer got upon the wheel seesawing the wheel, I have fond memories riding a road grader with my uncle the finish grade

[@JaredBeaucage]

Hey thanks for the grader shots! Boy its soft out there

[@w056007568]

Great team work there Tim, it sure does demonstrate clearly that you pair have been there and done that a time or two!

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Boy you aren't kidding , that's some greasy stuff .

[@ronaaserude8225]

hey buddy thanks for taking us along on your adventures, you have a great way of narrating and relating things to those of us unlucky enough to not work in the woods-I really miss it!

[@tlspiker5341]

Hi from Swainsboro Ga

[@geedubb2005]

Gotta use the wheel lean to keep it from sliding over. Can also help you out of a bog.

[@scottryan492]

Love your videos brother! Keep doing what you do!

[@adamtabor376]

Talking to machines does help.

[@DannyWalker1949]

I used run a Cat 16 Blade back in the 70's its a BIG machine. I was completely surprised when you got out of your Blade and you slide the Control unit forward on it. I didn't know that they did that. Progress. That is cool.

[@richwielechowski5191]

You two have done that before. Great coordination!

[@mikehornsby599]

Good stuff, enjoyed that!!

[@thesoutherndirtking1945]

You're driving what you need to dry that road up with...a dozer won't dry up a road but a grader will..2 hours of sunlight and 4 passes..you should see dust coming off the road...and it should set up like a rock with that red clay...

[@jphillips5346]

Now that's some good stuff man thanks for the video keep them coming

[@carolyntyler4525]

I love your video And my dad WUS a logger

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Great video Tim!

[@kennyrogers5590]

That was a nice pull there man articulate left to right with the pull helps a lot cool video

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Great video tim 👍🏻📺

[@johnwilloughby9712]

great video Tim , thats one bad a$$ camera you were bouncing like crazy and the camera shot was steady and smooth be safe and have a blessed day !

[@Torsee]

30 mph is respectable! And scary! Looked like the steering was a little vague! No Rally driving with that! Cool video!

[@cotontop3]

It gets a tad sketchy going that fast lol.

[@Torsee]

I bet! But I think you stumbled upon a new southern race tradition! It would be a hell of a lot more exciting than NASCAR is today.. 😂 😂 Make a hell of a wide dirt track! Get a helmet and that's it! Are you in?

[@jimwesselman]

Maybe Tim can hire on with the county and grade the roads! We all know that he needs a 5th job.

[@johnmorgan3341]

good job Tim

[@stevenmarsh7138]

LOL "Any one remember where we parked the grader?"

[@edstevens8053]

The Sony did a great job

[@joebuck66]

Great video

[@jeffreyvicks7181]

Have you ever tried Yankum kinetic recovery ropes, seem like they would work very well when your in very muddy conditions yanking equipment & trucks out of the mud.

[@rongeci4092]

Loved running road graders. The first one I ever run was a John Deere 672A the one with the “ T “ handle and had to operate the steering wheel with your knee. Then was up graded to the 672B where all the controls were by the steering wheel, the hardest part running that was remembering you didn’t have the “ T “ handle..lol. Then came the 772 CH that thing was a beast had 3 times the power of the A and B combined. Besides the power it had the best thing was the auto greasing if I remember right there was only a handful of zerts to hand grease including the circle. Do you run a flat board or stingers? We used stingers. In PA where I’m from most of our dirt roads are gravel so stingers work great. Great video keep up the great work.

[@jorgeposadas1192]

My wife just thinks I'm crazy when I talk to machine's.

[@malevolent_70]

Gotta get Logger Wade to teach you that picture in picture editing. Good video Tim.

[@kevincarver6727]

Awesome video Tim. I think you were pulling something like 90.000lbs up out of a ditch while spinning on a slick an muddy road. Without the front wheels pulling. Impressive. Later

[@alphonsotate2982]

Nice grader make some money from the county THEIR ROADS NEED IT .

[@yvonnejohnson1557]

Nothing like raw power love it i know u do lol tks gary

[@southerndirt9589]

Badass most Alabama gravel road s are that way

[@ISXCUMMINS565]

I’ve pull my Dads truck out, too, many times... Some dairy farmers just don’t have the equipment to plow there own driveways so that’s where I came in, plowing and and pulling that milk truck to the milk barns.. Dad owned serval dairy’s and had a daily milk route of about 15 other dairy’s, too..

[@averagetexans5187]

I ain't seen this video yet and I go thru all my subs vids

[@dellsims9276]

I knew where you were before you answered it about the monies. Had a phone call this morning from the timber company near me about working on the county road. And the Deer flies. Ate me up walking land lines last week.Bad this year for sure. By the way, enjoyed the ride along .

[@brownlab3]

congrats on 40k

[@graderman140m]

Make suer you check your front wheel drive motors out on that machine friends of mine have one and motors went out cost 20,000 to replace them.

[@nathancreel9866]

Hey tim been a fan for along time you represent us Mississippi folks very well could you do a video on all y'alls log trucks like a walk around and a hood open like you did on the 388 thanks - Nate

[@donphillips7766]

Get em Tim get em lol

[@marco74austin62]

Also that was a lil tight spot timbo, but like an ace!

[@leol1682]

Love the video man that grader is strong .

[@kennyhill2678]

May Flys land on the highest point of your body..Raise one hand, and when they land,, Slap from your free hand 👏

[@ScottSillis]

Good video man, thanks for sharing. Take care brother.

[@marco74austin62]

Dang tim, ya gotta have a phd to operate that grader...lol

[@arkansas1336]

Well done! ….13

[@waltermattson5566]

Thanks for taking us with. That shoulder was sure soft. I know graders are heavy too. I hope it isn’t a big job to get the front wheels pulling again. Was this a new video or older one?

[@cotontop3]

Filmed yesterday.

[@byronglover490]

Live action from the woods with Cotontop3! Another awesome video Tim. BTW does that 772CH have an eight speed powershift transmission?

[@cotontop3]

That’s correct

[@marctaylor3062]

Can i ask is that two watches or is one a watch and the other something special lol???

[@cotontop3]

A watch and the other controls my GoPro.

[@boskichevy]

I noticed the logs were not tied down on your days trailer do you wait until the trucks reach the blacktop? Or do you not strap them down at all? My dad and grandfather were loggers over in Alabama.

[@cotontop3]

It was actually tied down. We use cables to tie our loads with and they’re hard to see at a distance.

[@oldschoolmoto]

great vid what kind range do your radios have ? and what type are they cb or ?

[@cotontop3]

Cb and we can get 3-4 miles and further sometimes depending on where we are.

[@dstevenpaisley]

The Locals must be pissed about you guys logging out their.Hard on the rd

[@farmerkevin]

Full pull!I

[@cotontop3]

Yes sir 💪🏻
