Use a tiller

[@susieq8924]

I just love the fact that you are grown up and still willing to take the time to act like a kid! This was a project after my own heart, even though it didn’t work. Give a little bit more time in the think box and I’m sure you can make it work! At least for something❤ thank you I needed that!

[@newphone890]

Never let go being a kid and ul never feel old

[@colinklang]

I'm enjoying Luke's scientific endeavors. God bless Lindsey.

[@jimratliff2753]

Luke, Coming from California, I literally love having my morning coffee and laughing my butt off viewing your videos on your adventures, expeditions, experimentations and treasure hunts! This one is funny as living hell, as usual. You are one unique cat dude! Keep doing what you do - our World is overdue for more people like you to give us happy times and funny experiences!

[@fvsoutherngirl]

Thank you for watching!!

[@bearbottomvlogs2932]

I can’t agree with you enough on that!!!!

[@DougBlackwood]

That was worth the 19min break in my day!!! LOL I was cringing so much with the saw blade!!! Keep these videos coming!!!

[@ytadmin]

"Started with something that worked and spent all day making something that doesn't work at all." Dude, trust me, you learned more than you think you did.

[@chriswalford4161]

Isn’t that the story of so many projects!

[@codyw8783]

This is the best "For Science" channel I've found at least in a long time lol keep up the great work.

[@rubetube4727]

These guys are beasts. You see the Trash Wheel?

[@codyw8783]

@@rubetube4727 I’m not actually sure.. I found this channel like a month or two ago

This is the only acceptable one frl

[@kittymervine6115]

I'm not kidding my great grandfather drove a horse and carriage over some part of the frozen Chesapeake as a bet. He won the bet and thank goodness, or I would never have been born. I love the Pixie!

[@S.Lang7]

You: Standing by a frozen river: Me: Sitting on my couch holding a cup of coffee. You : We ain’t scared to swim! Me: That’s right, not one bit! We can totally do this!

[@jamessandman3708]

Ha ha ha ha!! Yep!!!

[@t.ticklesfpv]

Thanks for another great video! Big love from the west coast of Canada. Looking Forward to all your success this years crabbing and youtube season!

[@bpd231martinko9]

An old sketchy looking saw on salt water with AC voltage powering it- What could go wrong? My favorite part is after he goes out to sea he learns that it actually turns too! Love your enthusiasm!

[@jasonkalynuik760]

Lol, you can sure make me laugh dude. Awesome set up.I love the guy in the back working on his boat. He's watching you guys and thinking WTF lmao.

[@marksadventures976]

Never a dull video with Luke McFadden. 😂

[@jamessandman3708]

"I'm more interested in Danger!!" Ha ha ha ha a ha!!!!! I fricking love this guy!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂😂

[@markroper9269]

You should have tried a paddle wheel made of ice skate blades....wait, how about hacksaw blades?! The mind boggles at the possibilities!!! Have a great weekend!!

[@brianforaker1160]

When the crabbing off season is in full swing, the child comes out in all of us. That was great. I loved every minute of that video

[@agmood]

I love that the larger version of the Pixie is the "Econo-Dink" 😂

[@rshock]

This kid is crazy 😂 very innovative and talented but damn he has the kahoneys to do anything he puts his mind to. Well done!

[@thebreadedcrab4252]

The fact that he thinks a rototiller is a snowblower is hilarious LOL

[@jasonhill4342]

9:51 ....

[@saw6436]

When I was 12 years old, our neighbor gave me that exact same make skiff. I had incredible days fishing with it in our neighborhood lake outside Athens Georgia. Brought back great memories.

[@stampinturtles]

That sky behind you is gorgeous!!! ❤

[@MrSir-wp3fr]

We need a Q&A video. First couple of questions. How did you meet the wife? How do have such a gem of a marina? How did you start fishing?

[@chrisparsons7130]

You have a great sense of humor!! Every tool is called a hammer!!

[@randomfpv22]

Science!!!! Even when you fail what you set out to achieve, you still end up learning something and ultimately winning!

[@scottmccullough4267]

Love the big ass channel lock’s referred to as the hammer! 😂🤣😂

[@michaelcarmine9923]

Large middle schooler 😂😂😂

[@danaridings6387]

You are so much like my son! He does things like this all the time. I love you haven’t lost the kid in you!

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

Whatever you name the little boat it should be such a long name that it doesn't fit across the transom

[@bearbottomvlogs2932]

I’m gunna be very honest with you because it has such a look of the crab boat and you’re such a creative guy I’d love to watch you build it into a mine replica of the big one because of it’s shape I mean it’s almost a sign from the heavens and let’s be real you’re absolutely the guy to tackle the job! 100% love you man thank you for everything you do! I pray you see this and maybe give it some thoughts!

[@jamessandman3708]

I have not laughed that hard in a long time!! Damn I miss being young and crazy!! Thanks Luke!

[@TooManyHobbies]

10 seconds in, absolutely sketchy and I love it!!

[@davekimbler2308]

Back in the 40's they made a motor called a Scratcher for ice boats they used big chain gears , the rototiller would work if you made a transom bracket and a smaller 2 stroke motor , the tines would push you along !

[@kick_then_shift]

Turn it into a jetboat. Seat with a steering wheel upfront. Jetski motor with jetdrive out the back. That thing would fly!

[@Spike_365]

I enjoy this style of content that you make on, building stuff and testing it :D

[@Jeff527]

"I'm about the size of a large middle schooler ..." Great line! 🤣

[@squiggyg.8415]

Greatest KZbin video ever… power tools, science minus Physics equals comedy genius 😎 No Band-Aids or LifeFlight… complete success

[@richardjames9314]

Use it at the crab stand to sell drinks. Maybe even stand it on it's end and add shelves for merchandise.

[@RealWolfDenOutdoors]

You need a wide tooth gear at the end twice as wide as the blade you have on there and if you could modify runners for the bottom it might work

[@daophan3709]

Circularlike saw good great size surface area. The second smaller circularsaw does not appear to work because too small surface area against the frozen water ice cut to slush.

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

Im not done watching yet but that rototiller brought back memories. My neighbor had one real similar, i got it running for them years ago. The tines spun the same direction as the tires do to move forward. I took many "high speed" runs across our garden testing it out. Lol The tines spun at least twice as fast as the tires did 😂

[@chuckbixler3570]

Dud your freaking crazy that's why I watch you. Don't stop

[@chuckbixler3570]

Its not Sketchy if if it works. If you don't at least try you will never know 😊

[@DougB00]

The fact that you had accomplice involved in this priceless…

[@LeviLee88]

The little Dipper, seeing how that thing will dip off on ya 😂

[@fright_nike09]

Use a small tire with studs you can connect it right to the troll motor with some welding would work pretty good I think

[@billjamison2877]

YOUR IMAGINATION IS SECOND TO NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS

[@joshuambean]

Thank you for your contributions to science. The world is a better place because of your very important work.

[@craign7995]

You need a drive wheel similar to a front throwing lawn mower. Make it from a bunch of sprockets welded/bolted together. It would be wide enough (about 1ft wide) to get traction and heavy enough to stay on the ice without effort on your part. Get an electric motor that can drive it tho. I don't think the trolling motor will move it. A lawn mower engine would.

[@VincentNajger1]

One of those small ground tillers way work better? Or possibly just a wheel on the outboard rather than a prop, except youd have to mount it sideways....and then drill a heap of roofing screws into the tyre for some bite on the ice. I approve of this madness.....it gives me a visceral feeling of happiness deep in my loins, which I have girded appropriately. Edit: I should have watched the entire vid before I commented haha. What can I say....a man after my own heart. This madness is fantastic and I'm here for it all. It's been well over 35°c here in Australia...I will swap you that freezing weather in a second flat!

[@RobertmGeorge]

You need to try mounting a big shop fan on the back of it. Make a tiny airboat!

[@joelambert1243]

Name it "Toad". Because that's probably the best way to get it from place to place on the water.

[@AloneIsntLonely]

Dude youre so cool and so smart! Im so impressed with your knowledge! I love all your little adventures. If you ever need an extra hand i wouldnt mind coming from texas to help you. You wouldnt have to pay me. I would go just to learn! Blessings

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Your an innovator, the divinci of the dirty dena

[@gpslightlock1422]

You need a dado blade set on there for more traction!

[@Clips0921]

Use studed tires

[@MFKN_ChrisJones]

You should find a little tire and wheel to put on that trolling motor and put a couple screws in it for traction👀

[@farmerkevin]

Incredibly smart and stupid at the same time. I love it. Keep them coming. * side note... my nickname in high school was Big Nut.

[@robertboehle4473]

Should have tried a piece of pipe on the trolling motor with some pieces of angle welded to it. Provide a larger footprint.

[@TheCaldwellsway]

😂 it’s always fun watching what crazy ideas yall come up with!

[@ronaldfox5840]

I going to get on board with this,try using a chain from a chain saw, reverse the chain and use a bike sprocket. The guide teeth on the chain saw chain should maybe dig into the ice.🤷If one chain doesn't work try two sprocket bolted together with spacers and a second chain about like a river paddle boat.

[@stevenl34]

Mount a couple of leaf blowers on the back. It will work like jet engines

[@gregpayette365]

A cooler sounds like a great idea for that little boat.

[@crushdangle9910]

The poster child of anti-OSHA.😂😂😂😂

[@jujuhowell4594]

Y’all are crazy as hell but yall have a lot of fun.

[@shawnjohnson2840]

try a sprocket on the trolling motor or a wheel with studs on it. pretty interesting though

[@sailawaybob]

Way back in the 60's we had a summer place at the lake one of the neighbor kids had a similar boat about that size with a 18 hp Evinrude , we called it a flipper boat and it would fly down the lake.

[@daophan3709]

Shoes for the boat. Skateboards. Ice skates. Skiing.

[@jasonmacdonald5468]

I use Hockey Skates, 4 pairs under my Fish hut and it glides like a dream. (but no more than 2 inches of snow and hard ice) A Skate paddle paddle wheel might work with low rpm. Good luck with you RND

[@FluffyWubkins]

Rotating spiked drum you know you wanna try it 😮

[@GreysonRoberts]

Haha yessss mini boats are the best boats

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

4:03 you so much further south then me and we don't got any ice at all 😅

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

Try some bike tires with studs mounted on the gunnels, and that electric pipe treader thing as your main power 🤔 gonna need a shaft and a way to turn tho

[@rushhookhornadventures20]

Here in Wisconsin we used to use motors just like that, freaking insane

[@kevinhoffman8214]

I cant believe your iced up over there , I am across the bay in Cambridge and we dont have any ice

[@pdm1289]

While I love watching your imagination in action, I just hope you survive through cold weather until the beginning of fishing and crab season!

[@Rezin_8]

I'd go with two belt Sanders with 60 Grit❤❤❤

[@Rezin_8]

If you skip the ads are you even a loyal subscriber

[@StephanDzialo]

I thinking a leaf blower powered jet boat! Once the ice has melted.

[@MasterDieselMarine]

Your awesome Luke, how did the 3208 375ta come out? T&C take good care of you?

[@jasond7229]

Ice is too soft rite now, but that gear idea seemed to work, you should have added ice skates to the bottom

[@ericneering6357]

Put a couple PVC pontoons on the side of it and I think it needs a 35 horse ski motor

[@williamcruse3898]

Is that a boat or a really big wheel barrow without the handles and wheels?

[@joeward6421]

You need one of those mud skipper motors. Just a 212 harbor freight motor and a 6’ drive shaft with a propeller on the end 😂

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Your wife married a man with a little kids heart.. Absolutely Love these crazy ideas. If you could figure out how to get a ball that was super grippy to mount to the trolling motor.. Or something oval with teeth. Add steel runners to the bottom.. like iceskates

[@jeffquintrell1963]

Spring is coming,then back to work. Just not fast enough!!!

[@ceerstar851]

I'm here for all this sketch 😂😂😂

[@daophan3709]

Why not pre reposition the truck below the slope below the thing to be carried? ?

[@b516uck]

'one of the safer things I've seen in a while' :D :D😆

[@satans5avior734]

Dude thats awesome

[@satans5avior734]

But just pushinh with a oar might work just as efficiently

[@satans5avior734]

But woth it not being metal u might ckuff it up bad on ice

[@KingClown283]

Where is this? I am over in nabbs creek and i Havent seen ice near that thick

[@daboyz8044]

What about putting a go kart wheel with studs on the trolling motor

[@chadwright3702]

I live on cape cod and haven’t had an inlet freeze yet. How are you guys freezing over?

[@lovinglife69]

It's what I call a BATH TUB 🛀 *THE BATH TUB* EDIT: Paint it lime green like Lindsey's kayak and go kayaking with her 💚😊💚

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Cool video try to build us a homemade barbeque out of a 45 gallon drum would be cool and have a barbecue 👋🏽👍🏽.

[@stampinturtles]

😮I’m terrified for you!!! 13:39

[@japenjosh80]

You should Make/Put One those home-made Jet intake Engines on the Lil Weebs, Make it like a HOVER craft that would go in inches of water!

[@jimmyspoon1477]

Hey Luke quit playin with your dingy. Lol live the vids keep um come crazy kid be safe ✌️

[@Dani1165]

Power tools from the turn of the century is such an interesting sentence lol. For folks of a certain age, turn of the century in your mind has always meant the 1900s. When power tools like that didn't exist. Now it's a legit description denoting "long time ago" for 2000 cause we're nearly a 1/4 into this century.

[@jodidavis6595]

I live just outside Charleston South Carolina. I think that’s my boat. It’s been missing for over a yr 🥴😉😂 Using a saw thats meant to cut, I think that’s why you were only cutting the ice and not moving lol. You are crazy..but funny

[@tompappas1410]

rubber wheel multiple screws from the inside might work

[@jamessandman3708]

A couple of those bicycle sprockets on that trolling motor should give a better bite in the ice?

[@daophan3709]

Circular saw breaks the frozen water ice into mush then water cold near frozen but not frozen underneath.

[@jackpeckford]

you need a decent electric snow shovel, them ones that spin and fling snow
