Does the snow cat have a job in the summer time? Can it be used for anything other than Snow?

[@harryschneider1760]

@@j_rainsgoat3929 always have snow in those high mountain areas is my guess....I know I drove through mountains in Cali n it was a blizzard. On bottom it was 80 n sunny. Was crazy to go from 80 to 30 degrees just traveling up the mountain....

The Friggin amount of snow that Cat can push is AMAZING! Jesus; just wait till you get to 23 minutes in! THAT is the most Epic Recovery by HeavyDSparks I've ever seen ! JUST WOW !!!

[@duaneb193]

For as much playing in the snow as you do, and with your love for surplus military vehicles, I'm kind of surprised that you haven't picked up one of the big rotary snowblowers yet! I drove one for several years for the ANG and was able to use it twice to dig out homes that got snowed in during one of our heavy snow years. I've got some pictures of us clearing the flightline and parking spots at Fairchild AFB several years ago (kind of miss those extra duties - lot of work, but lot of fun)

[@lotharschiese8559]

Why push it if you can throw that snow. Custom build something that will chew it's way in. Makes sense? Eh?

[@MilliVid]

Heavy D just started watching recently and have nearly watched everything. You have such a big heart man! Awesome crew.

[@laurajeanbotha5321]

I remember the video where you went up the mountain, if I remember correctly it was quite entertaining. You guys sure research your content well to give us some good entertainment with some laughs to add into the mix. Brilliant videography, & superb editing puts the cherry on top for a great show. I really enjoy watching your shows but I know squat about vehicles. When I watch them, they remind me of my Late Brother who passed away on 25 Nov. He was always gobsmacked I'd be watching a show like this, when he used to watch Diesel Brothers. Carry on doing what you enjoy doing, bringing us great content to watch. From Me in SA 🇿🇦

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Coming down from the very top took all I had and the 10x10 truck to keep from sliding and/or tipping over.... All that weight in the roll off would cause it to tilt a LOT and slide sideways.... Wizard Power!

[@SamJG99]

I would love to see Bud get his Ranger tricked out and made super capable by you guys

[@Drei242]

I think the fact that it's not tricked out makes it so much better. The fact that it goes up the same trails as a snowcat or 10x10 is hilarious 😂

[@KineticTaco]

@@Drei242yeah. But usually it doesn’t. It stays stuck until the jobs done 😂

[@mfree80286]

@@KineticTaco Trick it too hard and you add weight, and that's part of it's capability... the lightness. Just needs bigger tires with bead locks to run really low pressure, some steering stops so you don't rip the fenders up, and it'll run snow like the rest.

Buy bud a ranger raptor then build it

[@sykwookiee]

@@mfree80286 ya' know? Only people who have never owned a Ranger think that they need to be tricked out...the only thing I added to a Ranger had to do with looks...the mechanics are already there...

[@randalljolley9391]

Use the snow mode on the tire inflation system on the truck to aid down the tires. Also go to low range in the transfer case it will automatically lock the diff lock in when in low range. After 25 years of being a mechanic and recovery specialist in the Army I have learned most of the trucks to the old Army trucks

[@MrDonny475]

You should call the Hemmit, "the mule" since it carries everything you need where ever you go

I agree, the mule sounds good, that machine is a real work horse packing everything up and down the mountains and wherever else it is needed.
