That was a long draw on the seatbelt swing there Douggo……. Holidays were good ehh???😂😂😂

[@brianmclellan7001]

Get a H/H sailing rain suit about $700 but will keep you dry. Just have Chet buy it for you.

[@kensteenbergen823]

Chet, have you ever thought of hooking the lowboy to the aux hydraulics on the Excavator? T in with a ball valve on the thumb?

[@jndmichel]

Hey! Maybe see if Santa can bring you a track shovel and some tie-down chains. It will save you a lot of grief 👍

[@Ryanrobi]

Your dad looks just like Michael Keaton 😂 I just put 2 +2 together when I was like dam he looks like someone else 🤔.

[@rdyardie]

Yes, stay away from those nasty viruses. Two of our grandchildren in Oklahoma were affected by the flu virus over the holidays. We are trying to avoid the viruses. . . . Have a Happy New Year. We plan to return to Canada next week. It reached in the 70's today in Lawton on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023. Calgary has had snow and freezing rain. . . . Ouch!

[@jordan082]

Here in ontatio canada, we work all year long. Every night before paking machine we clean tracks , rollers etc. Also spray diesel on metal so frozen mud doesnt stick.

[@icebabysnocain]

You clean around the rollers before you leave the job. Then they roll for the next days work. That is one nice fuel trailer. I'm jealous of that dozer. I love driving that size. Dougo has such a slick way of telling you to finish it. You're a doll Winny. Good video. Pax

[@MarilynSchneck]

In you opening credits you need to make Larson Farms either bright green or black as it blends into the white background. It should POP not hide....:)😉

[@tedchristiansen9560]

CLEAN YOUR TRACKS !! After every shift. I learned the hard way 😂😂

[@miguelsalami]

When I was 9 years old my dad was a heavy equipment operator & one weekend he took me to work with him & showed me how to operate a Cat D9 Bulldozer. Good times.

[@317lawnboy]

I’d put some quick couplers on the thumb of the excavator and use that aux. circuit to raise and lower the trailer. No tractor needed and you can hook the trailer back up to the excavator after it’s loaded and raise the trailer back up.

[@marcbrown9528]

I never get tired of watching you and Dougo together, talking about ice storms , the one in western New York 1991 was nasty. I was working as a cable TV technician then and did 37 days in a row, oh boy talk about cold and windy working on poles.

[@AlphaDawg77]

Where’d you get them invisible load chains for the excavator? 😂😂😂 Watchin&Laughin!

[@codycopithorne6294]

Chet, Dougo... there is a quick fix for frozen carrier rollers on dozers and excavators. Wad up a couple pages of a newspaper and then soak them in diesel and position them under the rollers and light them on fire. They will stay alit for a couple minutes, which is usually enough to start turning again. If not, repeat as needed. Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year to everyone there!!

[@williamtynan6484]

Street Tracks for a farm excavator on frozen ground…Uh oh …

[@selky_smooth]

Put some Polar Power in your tanks you’ll never have a Gel up issue. Parking inside makes it worse due to Condensation.

[@alexcicha8675]

Shovel the tracks at the end of the day everyday in the winter no issues with rollers

That looks more like having fun in the dirt.

[@dw54451]

For the excavator tap two couplers in the thumb to power the trailer.

[@BRENTTULLY-uk5tr]

HI 👋

[@joeynagy8657]

Cheaper option I’ve seen guys do is a couple 3 way valves on the thumb hydraulics and put couplers on it to hook up to the trailer

[@jamesbreault5762]

The look on you guys faces said it all lol

[@notgoingQuietly410]

just seen a battery powered chisel made by those guys you like that seemed to have quite the kick

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Time to build or buy chocks for the trailer wheels and maybe some blocking so the tail of the trailer can't go down.

[@va3kbc]

Happy New Years guys!! Chet. Our grandson loved his Larson Farms Struggle Bus hoodie that we gave him for Christmas!!

[@tattooed-en7gq]

you can put a old tire where the 5th wheel plate hits the ground so the trailer dont pick up sand and gravel

[@marionberry6909]

Hey guys, if you clean the dirt and mud from around the rollers, the sprocket and idler every evening when you shut down, it probably won’t freeze up on you. Even dry dirt will freeze.😀👍😎

[@tombstone3990]

[@valtereklund6596]

Hi Can’t you plug the hydraulics from the excavator thumb to the trailer instead of bringing a tractor?? Best wishes from Sweden🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@verdagarner5112]

Great video guys today video reminded me of Dad plowing the ranch ground with a Cat D 8. The owner of the ranch was very rich man, wouldn’t buy a tractor, put indoor plumbing in the house. But I loved living on the ranch with all siblings, in Eastern Idaho in the lost River valley

[@Muffin_Masher]

To avoid the tow vehicle lifting the back end and running away from you while loading, some axle stands underneath the back of the trailer work a treat, if the back can't go down, the front can't come up :)

[@sheanominal]

Keep the tracks clean

[@gerryhartung736]

Years and years of wit and wisdom....heres..DOUGO!

[@Diddley-js6lf]

We got a hell of a blizzard that the predicted a foot of snow and their forecast was Way the heck off base. We ended up with some 60mph winds, and blowing 4” of Snow and started out pouring Rain then switched over to Snow so all ice under the Snow. At my house I went to go load one of our Takeuchi TL8 Track Loader well there are 12 Steps from the floor level of the house to the Driveway well I hit the first step as I came out of the house then it butthole and Elbows until I landed at the Bottom so I swear at 57 years old I thought damn I broke something but thank God for Blessing me with no broken bones but some severe Bruising all over my body. It was at that point the Attached Garage will now become a Reality so we can drive straight into the Garage then into the house via one Stair Tread.

We have crusher belting we put down on the gooseneck and that helps for the sliding...also I put a mud flap down to keep the rocks and dirt off the king pin plate...

[@zcole6612]

Brody frogtogg is junk you have to get the heavy Carhartt rainsuit . I've had mine for 7 years and still doesn't leak . I have probably bought 30 different suits over the years and I would maybe get 2 weeks to 6 months use . Spend the extra money and buy the best

[@jimpolk]

Good to see just you and your Dad. Happy New Year to you and your whole family! A healthy and prosperous New Year to us all.

[@timroath7008]

We use a hilti gun. To get the mud off the rollers when frozen up

[@MichaelHolloway]

Rest up fully big guy.

Dry suit you mean. Wet suits let water thru 😂

[@pinwizz69]

So nice since Dougo got over his camera shyness. Chet and him have become reliable source of farmer humor. Well, ya know what ya know don't ya. Must be a Minnesota thing. Like yuppers for yes from Michiganders. Definitely a nice New Years day episode to watch after Sunday night football.

[@diyhomeowner3879]

We sell mobile hydraulic power units that would be great for your trailer. Also a backup for your powerlift door and a way to raise and lower implement to get them ready for transport with a truck. Instead of having to run a tractor to go get an implement.

Happy New Year Doug and Chet. Awesome video operating the heavy equipment. Thanks for the cab ride in the dozer . Always wanted to drive one. Definatly not a luxury ride. Hope Erics arm is feeling better

[@evetsp100]

When you run a dozer for the US Army, the one thing they stressed was keeping things clean around the track rollers - especially in cold weather. Nothing worse than chiseling out frozen dirt from around a track roller...which I'm sure you already know. It's a five minute job when you quit for the day. Really enjoy your videos! Nice to see how well you treat your equipment.

You need a small construction offset disk to work up the chunks and they work great for cutting up tree roots . Used one on a farm I worked for years ago. They dozed a hill side off and I disked it and pulled a drag to gather the root pieces.

*Happy New Year Larson Farms. The best things will come to your farm this year.*

[@pedrogunner9750]

The bad part of running tracked equipment in the fall and winter is you have GOT to shovel your tracks everyday. Otherwise….you get flat spot rollers. Also I’ve used pieces of trees, grab them with the excavator bucket and push the bigger frozen chunks out of the undercarriage and then shovel the remaining bits. I’m sure you already now this….or carefully use skidsteer forks

[@williamthomas9463]

Question: seems you’re always concerned about your fuel gelling. Why not use Power Service or some other anti-gel additive in your fuel?
