I Hate The Cold!

[@jbonegw]

Never have I seen Chris so frustrated. 🤣

[@hello-sz7hp]

Monitor 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@stefano101]

Ottawa Canada here, it was -28C and a wind chill of -40C this morning. I spent the last 5 hours getting all the equipment started for plowing snow. That's a task here that takes a half day when you have no heated shop. Also, -2C is tropical here. We pave asphalt at -2C here hahaha.

[@pettergardo3874]

When I did a job in the Volvo dump truck factory, I’ve got to see the test drivers drifting fully loaded trucks on the test track. I was told they were testing the suspension, but it looked more like they were driving rally.

[@jchainsaw51]

Almost peed myself laughing at you. Absolutely love your videos even if I am playing catch up.

[@holdengr]

Sitting here in north eastern Ontario at -30°F I’m laughing my ass off at you. Lol I think you get funnier the colder it gets Chris.

[@blaircox1589]

HAHAHA YUP! :D

[@cmc7106]

The whole south was in a deep freeze!! You guys aren’t used to that!! - 2 degrees this morning here,no wind it felt like a heat wave!!

[@garrettstearns37]

Woke up to -10 in Vermont

[@justinwithonsitemobiledeta7979]

No way in hell id live up north ill stay down here in South Carolina

[@AidenHubbsCRM]

-15 here without windchills the past few days. feels like summer!

[@TheMetalButcher]

Also, I love how pickup guys pride themselves on their truck smoking and HEO's pride themselves on their machines not.

[@larsmark]

Swedes know how to build stuff that works properly in the cold 😁 I agree with you about the cold.

[@TrailTrackers]

larsmark : Same with us in northern Utah during the winter. Gets pretty cold here and the only people who have the problem Chris had are the ones from out of state. He's a hoot though isn't he...

[@makingithappen5178]

And the dump truck is a Swedish invention from 1966.

[@ehiebert4132]

I watched this video with a smile on my face listening to you talk about the cold. Im in manitoba canada where we can get -45°c with windchill so what youve got is a nice day. Keep the videos coming though, i enjoy them all.

[@jonbeecroft4912]

hey bud if you put an Anderson plug on the front of your truck and one on the pump you will not have to open your bonnet every time you use the fuel pump

[@leannewacker589]

😂😂😂😂😂 It is such a feeling of relief to see someone else having difficulties. We are all human.

[@naypomjack6459]

He said every damn thing frozen, woke up didn't have any water this morning. 😄😄

[@mitchelputman538]

Nerve a dull moment , that's freaking country life . Murphy's law !!

[@madelinelambert605]

Lol this one made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of my brother in law. He hates snow and cold weather 🤣🤣🤣

[@kengamble8595]

Sorry for your troubles there man, I'm close to turning on the air conditioning, 84 degrees where I'm at ! 😎 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@aaronthoene1315]

Haul truck drifting! Absolutely epic!

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

I live in west, ny, and I'm still not crazy about the cold, yet, as you and everyone else deal with. I kinda like it as I get used to it. I remember basic training, where some guys had never seen snow. Looking out the barracks one morning after a snow and seeing all the cars in the ditches. Then when I went to Ft. Campbell, KY, I'd be doing donuts in the parking lots. Now I'm jealous seeing you have fun in that truck. Thanks for sharing.

[@bradleymincey6905]

You are hilarious! You sound like me in these cold mornings. I'm a diesel mechanic so yeah it sucks working on frozen shit when it's balls cold outside. Lol im right down the road in Sumter SC and we still have snow on the ground here too. I love watching your videos though! Y'all crack me up! If you ever need help fixing something I'll be glad to help free of charge!

[@johneastmond9092]

My maturity leaves in a fraction of a second when I get to drift! Even if I have a passenger on the truck I can't resist!

[@FiremanSVFD-cf1jn]

Chris I'm in Robeson Co NC and we still got snow on the ground from Wednesday. Work for the RR and freezing my a$$ OFF.

[@traceygatlin6364]

Christopher Hammonds we still have snow on the ground also here around Charleston SC lol

[@FiremanSVFD-cf1jn]

Tracey Gatlin as the old saying goes, I think it might be waiting on some more. I think we got about 4in here.

[@robertfakler8564]

Up here they say there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

[@wade6655]

😂I love you 😂 we do cold up north, hate it just the same! But it's great hearing your frustration😂

[@AidenHubbsCRM]

it's all fun and games until the dump bed tips into the hole and you gotta walk all the way back to the excavator lol

[@glen3257]

LOL just saw this video and been some time since you posted! Past two weeks here negative 47 to negative 55. The first casualty my ford pickup battery and motor froze. The second was the semi window motor (2020 389 Peterbilt 389) window stuck down halfway. Third Airlines froze on semi-trailer breaks set at 60 mph ( I run a train, 13 axels. lots of burnt rubber, like $5,000 worth). Fourth getting home to warm up... furnace in house frozen no heat. Inside of my house 28 degrees. Next wake up and water pipes froze solid and burst. By the end of the first week, I and my dogs slept in my honda hrv in the driveway for heat. I got my semi window fixed after 4 days of running with it down. 10 days later they finally got my furnace going. 12 days after it started my pickup was thawed and I spent last weekend replumbing my entire house! So Chris stop your whining lol. best regards, Glen.

[@toyotaalltheway1]

Up here when it gets cold we have to heat the shit out of everything. We have magnetic heaters that we put on hydraulic fluid reservoirs, block heaters on everything, some oil pan heaters, and fuel tank heaters on the diesels. The fuel tank heaters allow us to run as cold as -40F. In December it was -30F and everything worked just fine if it was plugged in. We forgot to plug in one of the plows and the fluid looked like pudding. I met a logger that had an input and output for the coolant on his f250. He would hook his skidder to his truck and circulate warm water through the skidder. I honestly don't think this is good for his truck but its something that has been done. Hope your engines are handling it okay!

[@skippyjl1]

Exactly why we love Florida👊🏻😊😊😊

[@hello-sz7hp]

My name is an-an-an and i wil go to the and. My name is an-an-an-an and i will go to the ann.

[@randytravis3998]

thought for sure you were going to tip it drifting then running back to the pond thought we were going swimming ,,did not think it was going to turn in time ..my old service van getting off the highway on a exit hit black ice ,, it turned at the last second ,,6 inches from hitting concrete .the ramp was all ice ,,that was the worst i have had ,,,

[@97marqedman]

Heh heh heh - I was out at our landfill this last spring on March 1st...it was -27f with a -40f windchill. Trying to get our D8T and Cat compactor started after the previous Friday’s crew didn’t plug them in for the weekend. Hauled out the starting unit (400amp@24v and quick-connect heater hoses that plug into mating connectors on the machines engine blocks) and got em going after an hour.

[@stevedoty5841]

Oh you poor cold guy. Iowa we’re used to it. LOL was in San Antonio 2 weeks ago at 77 followed by 40’s and they sounded like you. Just think spring.

[@GITRDUG27]

Hopefully all this cold weather kills off most of the damn bugs in the ground

[@melissadyche8325]

😂 😂 you are cracking me up Chris

[@radioace318la]

should have called me, man. I would be dumping and you digging. I've always wanted to drift a dump truck of that caliber. Cheers from Louisiana.

[@dstevenpaisley]

We use to run stove oil years ago in eqpment burn hotter for the winter season ! Don't think the new diesels would like that

[@chris27289]

I'm with you, I'll never bitch about it being to hot.

[@1armedguy4]

Hey Chris ! Time to put your big boy pants on( lol ) it's a balmy -18c not counting the wind chill up here in Nova Scotia Canada , perfect for snowmobiling !!

[@bluemtnsman]

Right on. I live in the SOUTH so I do not have to deal with the COLD. 6 inches of powder snow,,, -4 here this morning and have not topped out above 27 since Christmas. To heck with this mess.

[@super6954]

Thats not cold I've heard girl guides make less noise camping in a rain storm L.O.L. My Hogs still need their chores doing even when It's -50 oc with wind chill and -25 and colder actual That makes our Valtra (Formally part of Volvo tractors) cough and whine from the hydraulics until it warms up . I've been working on cleaning manure from one barn. The stuffs froze about a foot on top in the barn and it was 20 inches by the entrance in for the tractor. I was cutting some of that froze stuff by the entrance with a chainsaw, so I can bust it out in chunks with the tractor and grapple to get started. Don't freeze ya nuts off, or freeze to the machine giving it a shake after a pee break L.O.L Take care.

[@scruffy6151]

super6954 lol

[@skippyjl1]

Florida has good weather and you can make a lot of money here with your equipment👊🏻😊👊🏻

[@Graveltrucking]

At work we have the same problem with the fuel nozzles in the cold weather they stop working, its really frustrating when the truck is out of fuel and you have to haul for the day. Glad the weather is back to where its supposed to be aka above freezing and raining.

[@moman0166]

Welcome to our world in Northern Missouri. We drive by the courthouse and see lawyers with their hands in there own pockets. Now that’s cold.

[@joystick396]

As a northerner. I too HATE THE COLD

[@TheMetalButcher]

This cold has also been treating us Alabamians poorly. Both air compressors froze up, the backhoe doesn't like to start below 40F, it also had a frozen up return hydro line and was just overflowing the reservoir and starved the pump, the brakes were frozen so bad one wheel was spinning on concrete and turning the damn machine in a circle before the other let go. The Isuzu wasn't doing right either. We just normally don't prepare for winters or our stuff isn't conditioned for winter and everything just breaks when this cold comes around.

[@TermiteBenny]

I've had that problem before with auto shut off fuel nozzles. Usually heat fixes them but when it doesn't, time for a new nozzle.

[@dallas88b]

Better cold than sub-tropical heat and humidity. You can always dress to be warmer.

[@Rwededyet]

One of the good things about living in Puget Sound is the temp very rarely gets below 20 in the Winter or above 90 in the Summer. We do have to live with constant overcast and dampness, though.

[@normanthompson4729]

Cure for froze nozzle is to get a bottle of dry gas hold nozzle up rite and pore in 3 or 4 oz in a few seconds put the nozzle in tank and pump.

It must be fun operating all that machinery haha

[@ExplicitPaarthurnax]

Could almost hear the eurobeat playing as he was drifting the haul truck.

[@jaywest4102]

What’s up with your steering wheel in the haul truck, looks like your been playing darts.

[@letsdig18]

was like what when i got it.. didnt have a radio in it either so I wouldnt rule that out

[@murrayhall908]

Came online this afternoon for some uplifting developments from you as I have come to expect and found this grumpy cold fed up chap I don't recognize at all lol Nothing wrong with a bit of cold - kills off all those bad bugs! Still fairly mild here in bonnie Scotland although we get our fair share of wild cold miserable weather in the winter. Chin up and keep going!!! PS A happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours.

[@stefanaxelsson513]

That is some serius GTA driving skills 😊

[@robertmceachern2428]

I've been ice fishing on a lake in northern Alberta called Primrose Lake. (Canadian Air Force training area). With the wind chill it was -70' Celcius. But its so dry that you can deal with it in a jean jacket and a Mackinaw... Here on the Pacific coast. -1' Celcius chills you right to the bone with the high humidity!! It literally feels a hundred times colder at -1' Humid than at -70' Dry

[@george8873]

Was -14f here last night without windchill, lol. -35f with. What's funny is how you guys down south laugh at us up north here when the temp gets above 85 f, lol.

[@rreidnauer]

The first minute sums up exactly EVERYTHING that sucks ass about winter. I just unsuccessfully fought a battle trying to get some stuff done, only to have the cold thwart my every effort. WINTER SUCKS!

[@justinwoodlee1062]

Drift in the old Haul truck huh LMAO that was great

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Yep, gawd-awfull cold up here in Warren county. Froze the well pipe and a bunch of water lines under the house, including a Hot water line.!

[@nickkerpash1276]

My father works in the oil clean up business and he always has a rubber piece attached to the frame of his truck to touch the ground and it keeps the static down.

[@stevenreinert7701]

It's August now and I'm watching this but it's still funnier than hell

[@scottfortune9016]

It says a lot about your equipment that it starts right up when it's extremely cold, and not used to that. Well maintained.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I hear ya Chris this cold weather needs to go! It didn't get above 12 here in Missouri on Tuesday. Kinda shuts me down when the ground is frozen and everything takes longer or is more difficult

[@johnc.pepper5358]

You are a Pansy if he can't handle the cold move to another state I'm just north of Kansas City and I enjoy the weather here

[@treeclimbing7798]

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Terry Barber only -23C in Ontario

[@timmyteabag69]

Sicktrickintuner it was only -47C here in Alberta

[@strangefruit8776]

Sometimes if those auto nozzles won’t come on you can hold the back of the lever down while you pull up on the front and they will work.

[@dalecherry4044]

You may not like the cold but you sure had a lot of fun. Play on.

[@schneiderexc3557]

Now that’s funny! You would never make it up here in Minnesota!!

Very cold start on a sunday Chris, fuel problems, excavator and rocktruck nice cold start, have a nice day Letsdig, you are a funny guy 😲💥😲💥😲💥😲💥💥😲💥😲💥

[@jimsvideos7201]

Airline pilots in the really big - i.e. tall - aircraft have to be taught to slow down because they get the same illusion of going slower due to their height. Useless trivia right there.

[@TB-jj9tu]

It was -28F the other day here and I had to go pick up a crate of tire chains for my loader. When I pulled my fuel hose out of the way for the forklift to load the cate it was cold enough that the hose cracked half way through at the crimped on end and dumped about 2 gallons of fuel on the warehouse floor and that was one of the warmest days we had for two weeks.

[@69adrummer]

We're in kentucky and feel your pain. Left water dripping in house so we wouldn't have froze pipes, just to have utility company shut off main to fix a leak and said it would be an hour. 8hrs later water come back on street but not in house!!!

[@shawnstrode3825]

You know why stopping the truck was rough. You forgot to make the horn sound of the excavator.

[@hydraulic-hum]

😂 even on a bad day, you have a good day 😂

[@leecooper7374]

Ain't no warmer in South Carolina either. Piss in this cold weather hell 50 degrees would be better than it staying below freezing all day.

[@jamieeaster4321]

When it gets cold like this I usually have to stick a screwdriver in the handle of the automatic shut off won't let the fuel out try that.. I feel your pain I spent almost a whole day to get the lowboy truck started I feel like I need jumper cables coming out of my dam arms lol

[@lancesnyder2613]

Stick the nozzle in the exhaust of the truck for about two mins and it'll thaw her out. That what we been doing up here in southern Michigan the past cpl weeks

[@normandyck7609]

I loved your video today and I split a gut laughing. Please remember that Diesel engines do not warm up while idling. Just idle for a short time to get some heat going and then start working a little slow and you have it. Better to work in the cold the mud is frozen. After a week of -40 weather your 11 degrees is a summer heat wave. I enjoy your videos please them coming

[@strangefruit8776]

Norman Dyck how do Diesel engines not warm up while idling?

[@normandyck7609]

Strangefruit diesel is a cold running fuel. I drive school bus with a Diesel engine and I have a blanket in front of the radiator to keep the heat that is generated. In the winter I would like a gas engine as it produces more heat

[@makingithappen9722]

The only nice thing about the cold, is that the heat in the cabin feels extra cozy.

[@MsDannyrevs]

I dig your videos
