Snow Storm

I appreciate your lack of 'Hollywood"! No drama, no fuss. Just a man doing his work. Thanks, This is unusual.

See... Buying that Old Dodge was a good purchase.... Definitely earning it's keep... Gonna pay for itself.... Looks like your Ice Spade came in handy too. Mother nature is playin' games... You have more snow than I do up in Minnesota...700 miles north of you! lol Fun having the wife's commentary & giggles.... Happy to see you guys enjoying Arkansas..

[@matt.mckinzie]

Yes sir it’s definitely being useful, and yes the anchor spade works great Never slid an inch

[@charliehaynes6495]

Thanks, that was an action packed video.

[@matt.mckinzie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Reefahholic]

I love your videos bro. One thing I wanted to mention, because it happened to me when I move north and I wasn’t aware. You are in tornado country. I moved south of Dallas to Tyler, Texas, and had no idea that tornadoes came down that low. A literal monster came through there right after I left. It killed a lot of people. So if I were you, I would be thinking about a storm shelter of some sort, to protect your family in the event that you get a bad one this spring. They usually fire up in April to June. Best of luck up there. Beautiful country!

[@matt.mckinzie]

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it!

[@Tommy-rr7ez]

Well buddy tornados can come all year. Here in TN we have more tornados in winter some years than summer and usually a whole lot worse. Stay safe my friend and you gave him good advice!

[@hughstephenson2957]

Can I give you 2 hints? I've got 35 years of mountain and off road recovery. Number one: in some instances tire chains are your friend. Cross link chains are best because they hold your truck still better. Number 2 use the digger foot of your wheel lift and bury it if you can.. may need a sledge hammer to do it but with the chains it makes a more stable platform

[@matt.mckinzie]

👍

[@Nailer2001]

Good video, Matt. Welcome to Arkansas, where the folks who can’t drive when it’s hot and sunny think they are slick road experts! (For about a minute!)

A little bit of snow here in Arkansas and you get plenty of work. So many people just don't know how to drive in it.

It dosnt snow here normally so I can’t blame them too much I grew up in Michigan so this was nothing

[@geoffneibert124]

He wanted the tractor to be level for a few before firing it up, but when he does start it he goes high throttle immediately after starting it....

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Yup, too funny. The dealers tell people to run them WOT now due to the emissions crap. So new owners think that means you can never idle…..

[@mikekaplan5170]

Hey Matt, looks like you should create an attachment for a pulley on your wheel lift so you can pull low and make it easier on jobs like the car in the ditch

I couldn’t tell if you have tire chains. 99% of the time you don’t need them ,but for that1% a good set are worth their weight in gold.

"Hey don't start the tractor while it is leaning. Could be bad for it" then when he does start it up has the RPM's right up there on a cold start. Yeah....I'm no mechanic, but on a cold start I know the first thing you do not do is give it throttle right away.

I get people need chains. They should use them. I am 54. I spent the majority of my life in snow. In extreme billiards. The mountains and plans. I have never used chains. I don't even know how to put them on. Yet. Sorry. I never needed a tow truck either. I never got stuck or went off the road before. I refuse to clean the snow out of my driveway. The more extreme. The more I love it. I can not stand clear dry roads. High winds. A load of rain and snow with ice is where I am at home on the roads. The worst it gets is the happier I am. Yet. Don't get hurt or killed. Because this is entertaining.

It wasn't like that tractor was upside down. I think the customer has watched too many upside down recovery videos. It helps if the vehicle you are recovering can help a little especially a 4x4 tractor. Good job. Customer thinks he's always right, but they aren't.

All of them four wheel drives and nobody has tow strap or chain.

[@ericmelton607]

It is always the case, those in the ditches and stuck off the road, are usually the A holes in big trucks or SUV's with their 4 wheel drive, what these drivers all lack in common is skill and common sense. I have passed by and waved to many of drivers in a fancy Jeep in the ditch, while I was driving my old rear wheel drive 1986 Volvo 240 wagon, one of the best vehicles ever built, and also one of the top safe vehicles ever built, anywhere
