I BOUGHT MY WIFE HER DREAM EQUIPMENT

[@franciscocerutimahn]

When your wife gets excited to get a construction equipment...SHE IS THE ONE !!!

[@marleneengel7984]

For sure!! So fun watching the incredulity on her face!! Way to go Riley!! “Do I have to get out?” 😂

[@greyman1k]

Exactly...couldn't say it better myself.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Mywhtjp]

Amen to that. Keeper for sure.

[@xavierjackson647]

Best Xmas gift 🎁 u can ever give her love u both 💓

[@Anders.Stromgren]

For next winter, you should set up Snow poles(Snow Plow Markers, Driveway Markers or Stakes) with reflex along your road. So you see how wide the road is so you can clear the snow without risking the machine falling down the slope.

[@michael2B]

No Kidding!

[@tutsecret499]

I was watching some current abnormal snow videos in California where people getting stuck under snow, inside their home can't get in/out. But also showed cars driving on the road that you can't hardly see. I was so nervous, OMG the driver will fall on the cliff. You cant see if you are on the lane or driving towards the edge of the road. Some tried to leave the home to buy snow blower, then they were not allowed to return home either by the authorities or the snow blocked them.

[@louskunt9798]

Remember on The Simpsons when Homer bought Marge a custom bowling ball with Homer’s initials engraved on it? 🤣😂🤣😂

[@grundyb]

That skid steer is perfect! That’s the coolest snow blower I’ve seen! 🍷

[@davidweidner1675]

Remember to clear the chute and feeder screws of the blower to prevent them from being frozen when you want to use the blower next time. Also to keep the snow from sticking spray the chute with cooking spray before and after use. The cheap stuff works

[@Torthak]

also "FLOAT" for when you use the thrower.

[@johnw3724]

WD40 also works for sticking snow and sometimes cheaper then cooking spray.

[@stephendoing2253]

Spray the box/auger with wd40 too

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@stephendoing2253 Is there anything that WD-40 can't do? Yeah, a ton of things. It can solidify and gum things up. Little things for sure. Like brackets and hinges. Buckets can overcome that. But there's grease for that. Here's a story; I bought a Marlin rifle for the low, low price of $150. It was all gummed up with WD-40. I cleaned it up(I can do this) and it turned out to be a beautiful and accurate rifle. Way more accurate than the Winchester. It had killer wood too. I'd show you a picture, but we can't do that. That's OK, you get the idea. Pam isn't even in the discussion here.

[@UriahtheHittie24601]

That equipment will run circles around the excavator. The excavator is priceless for certain projects but a skidsteer is a power house life changing tool!

[@Aimtjie]

Best video ever! That look on Courtney’s face made me tear up! Well played Riley!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

I watched this three times.

[@Mywhtjp]

Ditto on the emotions and Rileys shenanigans. Very well played with the toy bobcat, now let's go shoveling..

[@theresaluvspims6163]

Riley knows your love language Courtney. The best gift from hubby was a new steering column for my 1986 Camaro, and a seed spreader. So I get you, lady. And of course what piece of equipment would officially be y'alls until Riley gets it stuck? LOL.

[@richardjones5255]

Well, that was one Christmas present that delivered, just to see Courtney's face after her first real work drive round in the machine was almost priceless.

[@Whistler326]

Totally love how he presented her with the toy skid steer 1st...omg ....What a reaction indeed!!! (you rented it right....lmao!!

[@seanogs]

@Bruce Krazykiter a great way for Riley to present it. Went out of his way, which is what love is. Going out of your way for loved ones.

[@jc-pj3nh]

One year my dad bought my mother a cement mixer. Mom loved it and mixed all the cement for the basement walls of the house they built.

[@neilmarshall629]

So happy for you both! They are indeed the swiss army knife for homesteads.

[@tankiadam4967]

12:11 You need a wider bucket. That bucket is a little bit narrower than the machine, and so your tracks end up driving on the material you are trying to scoop. Get a bucket that is a few inches wider than your tracks so when you scoop something like gravel and it falls back in behind the bucket you don’t drive over it and throw of your scoop. This is especially important when you are trying to level out gravel/dirt. Trust me it will be well worth it.

[@DunbarLandFarms]

You’re the only guy I know that could buy his wife a skid steer for Christmas and not only get away with it but it’s the perfect gift. A Very Memorable Christmas to you both!

[@davep6977]

I bought my wife a wood biscuit cutter and she loved it. When she told her friends they thought it was something for the kitchen and she got comments like "How much baking does he expect you to do"

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@davep6977 Heck, she thought she might get a shovel.

[@redmach12003]

Loved the look of surprise on Courtney's face when she saw the full sized "Toy"! Priceless. Well done, Riley! Merry Christmas to both of you. Stay safe and warm.

[@chucklogan9611]

Courtney is the Skid Steer Whisperer!! She is so cute and really is in her element running around in all her equipment

[@lectricfence1]

Courtney seems to have a natural grasp of mechanical apparatus. This coming from someone who has operated heavy equipment all his life. (now 70 and retired.) Little tip: get a 5 gallon pump up sprayer and spray the inside of the bucket with diesel fuel before scooping snow. Helps keep the snow from sticking so much. Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good life.

[@laruedouglas7972]

That is so adorable when Courtney sees her Christmas present. I would be just like her and have a great time with it. You both have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🎄.

[@davidhazelip3884]

Mighty Mouse. Would be a great name for your new skid steer. Congratulations. You guys are the best

[@mattsilver8842]

Merry Xmas. Normally I would say that gift is more of a household appliance, and not appropriate for one's bride, but Courtney is such a good equipment operator, and took to it and its attachments instantly, and you can see the joy in her voice. The skidsteer is the perfect match for Courtney's excavator. You two are amazing Meanwhile I'm sitting out day two of our blizzard in Fort Erie, across the river from Buffalo NY.

[@1979augistine]

You have a dream woman most could dream of having you two are perfect together I couldn't wish for a better channel and people to watch

[@FirstLastOne]

You guys have built up quite the enviable toy box. With your drive and determination, the sky's the limit. Happy Holidays!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It’s going to to be awesome for all of our future road projects!

[@theburtseoni]

The look on Courtney's face when she was trying to comprehend that the skid steer was her new toy - that was priceless! Good old Riley, he pulled off a good one on Courtney! Way to go Riley! I hope you guys had a good Christmas and will have a really good new year!

[@jimnorthern9587]

wow. watching this set me back a long way. Courtney is just priceless in herself. the look on her face when she finally understood....ITS MINE! wow. so many memories come back to me with my wife, now departed. same build. same quizzical looks. same abilities to run and operate what ever gets in front of her. all she needed, like Courtney, tell her she can do it and she can do it. give her the confidence she needs and let her run. i can only tell you this much son, you have a woman there that was not given to you, you have a woman there that graces your being. honors you by being in your life. take damn good care of her. if you ever hear you hurt her, guess what son? you wont ever come off that mountain again. no threat, just facts.

[@thom17043]

Heavy equipment is the perfect gift for any occasion! I absolutely loved Courtney's reaction to her present and only wonder how Riley managed to get it up there next to the building without her hearing? Good luck with ALL the projects you're going to be able to accomplish with that in the coming year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guys!

[@larrygarcia5684]

You guys make such a wonderful couple, a great team and best of friends. Merry Christmas!

[@michaelpayne1737]

Obviously a useful pick up Riley,what a gift giver you are. Get those studs and you'll be golden. Oh,and grab a few cans of silicone and spray everywhere on the snowblower so the snow doesn't stick so much. I've been doin it for years.

[@AM2prunejuice]

(just in case) Remember to keep your revs down. Before you turn on your Aux. If the revs are high and you turn on the Aux. You can blow out your hoses. Good luck you guys!

[@ronsommer9409]

Keep the engine revs down when you start and 'stop' the snow blower.

[@kennethcarozza6147]

I remember the first time I ever got into our skid steer... I never wanted to get out! Over the next three year we had it on the property what we lived on I volunteered to use it whenever possible. I loved working in it. Trust me when I say this... after a few hours behind the controls is will just become an extension of yourself, and you will be moving your hands, and feet in unison with the machine without even having to think about it! I am so envious on your guys right now. Happy Holidays, and stay warm!

[@feelgoodfaster]

The look on Courtney's face was priceless. Well done Rylie. Great video guys.

Great Xmas present and addition to your equipment collection (toys) and we’ll needed with all the snow. Best of 2023

[@bt6770]

So glad y'all finally got one ! Between the Mini Ex and the skidsteer there is just about nothing you can't do in construction. You both have grown a lot since moving up there. Learned to adapt and not afraid to use equipment. Courtney has become a great operator and Riley is getting handier with the wrenches as time goes on. Riley operating that dozer took some guts as well. The world needs more couples like y'all !

[@stevehaken]

Congrats on the purchase. Skid steers have GREAT utility.

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

Other fun attachments for the skid steer: Concrete mixing bucket, log attachment, brush cutter, auger, rock breaker, log splitter, various grapples, vibrating roller, sifter, and the list goes on. I've owned a skid steer for a few years, and that thing is one of the most handy machines I own. Now it's time to build a car port for your equipment. Also, they make special cleats that you screw into the treads for your skid steer, they work very well and can be removed for the other season. Well worth the money, and it should solve your sliding issue (nvm, saw the last 30 seconds of the video, lol).

thanks for the video! im looking at a lot of snow covered vehicles and equipment all over the place ....i find myself thinking you need another roof maybe some walls and a level work surface so you can park and service these tools.

This is the 2nd time I watched this video+I still find myself loving the way Courtney is she's in unbelief.

[@marklar7551]

OMG, I was going to say something last video about something like this for you guys! It really is what you need with the amounts of snow you get in a snowstorm to keep your plow banks lower and not have to fire up more pieces of equipment to knock them down every other storm. This machine comes with the option of other attachments to help you out on the mountain 👽

[@AmbitionStrikes]

One tip, Try to empy the snow complitely of the snow blower. It could do a hard freese and break the equipement!

[@bwillan]

Ice studs will work great for the tracks. I was going to say, that for her birthday a set of snow rated tracks for the skid steer would be a good present too.

[@dennisstgermain4187]

We have been following your channel from day ONE. Always a treat. Happy Holidays guys !!!!

[@graderman140m]

Highly recommend you put studs in your tracks for the winter time will greatly improve your traction on the steep slopes.

[@Rattlerjake1]

Now you need to get a tarp for each of your pieces of equipment, for winter. It will save a lot of time by making it easier to remove the snow before use. Look for some of the used vinyl signs - they're cheap, big, and last many years (since you only need them in winter they will not be destroyed by the intense summer sunshine.

[@erikowren7894]

Put the studs in the tracks of the skid steer. Might help with ice traction.

[@1944chevytruck]

WOW! CONGRATS!.... YOU GUYS NEED A LARGE equipment attachment's and machine building with easy access... Merry Christmas!

[@pgerry9400]

When you are using the snow blower . Go down your driveway on the right side and turn the chute to blow left over the low side of the road . Then when you come back up aim the chute to the right. On your particular drive way you don't want a bunch of snow on the high side come spring.

I think you guys would benefit from a snow bucket. We got one for our skid steer and it’s awesome. We use it not only for snow but also just random material handling in the summer. Being that it’s so much bigger it makes so many jobs where you just need to move material and not grade or dig up stuff much faster. Also your dirt bucket is narrower than your tracks!!

[@rockheadregolith8325]
