Snow cat recovery

[@melstill]

Brought back some great memories! Thanks. Those LMC's always impressed me.

[@silentepsilon888]

That snow cat is awwesome and I have decided to get me one of those. So folks, feel free to wave at me when you see me riding around in that thing in the Los Angeles area, ok?

[@turbinepower77]

Love those snowcats!

[@Swindy1794]

That thing is BadAss! .. 👍

[@lutherb6877]

I think you should put a snow plow on the front of your snow cat you could clear the road up to where the truck is stuck pull the truck out and drive the truck down the mountain I think that would help you out a lot

[@Joshie2256]

Plows require a lot of horsepower and therefore fuel. The only thing I might have done differently is to have a tow bar that fit into the receiver on the Toyota to replace the rope.

[@wssides]

IF it would run, just go back up next day on a snowmobile or side by side. The tracks of the LMC will harden up enough to carry a pickup very easily. (just don't slip off!!)

[@billmckelvey602]

WOW that is a lot of snow. Great job

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

William McKelvey thanks!

[@albertcyphers1532]

Should have one of those t-bar tow hitches on the snow cat drag it out hitch it up and both of you sit in the warm snow cat

[@criticalevent]

Are those all season tires on that thing? lol

[@sprucesoldier]

Should of knocked some snow off Er! Take some weight down.. great Video tho!💪🏻

[@gordbaker896]

They guy steering the pickup is steering the wrong direction when being pulled backwards!!! What engine is in that tracked vehicle?

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Gord Baker it’s a 300 straight 6 Ford motor 👍🏻

[@honestycounts9352]

First thing you need to do is to AIR-DOWN the pressure in the pickup truck tires down to 10 psi, so that the tires will have a better ability to 'FLOAT' over the snow. Then you can pull it out.

[@travj4450]

Why not drive it, once u pulled it out?

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Trav J for one, the snow was too deep, and the rear tires are flat. So even after we got out of the snow it needed towed.

[@colgatetoothpaste4865]

I wish werewolfs existed

[@bradywilliams2666]

Why don't you use a trailer with skis? You know any vehicle you go to get out of snow will not be able to stay on top of the snow, like your racked rig will.

[@tylerdegraw938]

Yup found it finally found the video with my yota in it haha

I go by the mantra: Use 2wd untill you can't go any further without getting stuck. Then put it in 4wd, back out, turn around and drive out."

[@randthompson5716]

@@fjb4932 but i need front end pull for regular dry yard mowing. RimGuarded and wheel extention. Still the angles n dangles demand it. Thankfully it slides in and out easy as warm butter.

[@Bushguyrocks]

I pulled out 2 Chevs with my Ford today. They were good trucks, just poor/inexperienced drivers.

[@billpearson5257]

I hope the dummy owner learned a lesson. Don't go off of the road with summer high-way tires and take two pairs of chains.

[@carlreed4568]

Thanks for taking me for the ride it was great

[@steelfist65]

I don't want to even imagine what that must have cost to recover! Stupidity is definitely expensive! Great machine and great job as well.

[@Imintune...]

Probably more then what the truck worth !!!🤑

[@allanmoulton3745]

A wide-track flatbed trailer would ulcer be the answer here.

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

I’m just getting into this business now , recently bought a bombardier Ski dozer

[@edshelden7590]

Great video, well edited, good narration. BUTT: you need to teach your 2nd or 3 rd camera operator to shoot horizontal. I would like to know more about the snow cat. Engine, transmission, steering.

[@whiskeydee8835]

4 oversized skis under the tires for flotation

[@pwddogman]

Should have brought a sheet of cardboard and sledded the pickup out :-)

[@SeanFillner]

Surprising how powerful the snow cat is to be able to pull that truck out with ease.... Thanks for making a video of it.

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Sean Fillner I know! It almost surprised us too how easy that was lol

[@thomasbarlow4223]

Its all about gearing

[@DanielCPurdy]

Gearing and torque. HP should not count for much.

[@jerryrigsit5400]

I bet when they paid the bill they won't be taking their truck into the mess again

[@raymondj8768]

How the hell did you get that truck up there hahaha by the way it looks like you have a rear main seal leaking on the engine !

[@tylerdegraw938]

I got her up there very carefully amd a lot of throttle

[@teamidris]

Snow really rings my sinuses (dryness?) and I still wish I was there :D

[@CliffStockton]

Curious, I have driven a 1200 sprite, 6 cyl ford and nowhere near that speed or power. What did you fit under there?

[@Joshie2256]

Having operated an LMC 1500 with a Jeep 258 I wondered the same thing.

[@jamescastelos2156]

Cliff Stockton I don’t know motor size but the sniper efi system certainly helps

[@aviator97msncom]

Needs a 5.3 ls transplant.

[@derekbader130]

She's a stout unit! Poor yota left out in the cold.

[@greenhometony]

Curious, as someone who has experience with backhoes and excavators etc. Why not mount a blade on the cat? Might kill two birds and make money two ways in some situations??

[@Suedeman]

Plows take alota power and that burns fuel. Add in that thing is designed to float on the snow and anywhere you need a snowcat to get into well it probably dosen't get plowed so it's cheaper to use a pick up with a plow in most cases.

[@imdeplorable2241]

That was a helluva job.👍

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Thanks!

[@marioforget2773]

Marvellous machine.

[@garth6367]

That's crazy!

[@dighsx]

Ok someones gotta ask, how much did that cost the owner of that pickup. I can't imagine that was a cheap date.

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Jay Dighsx 800 bucks. Not too bad for 3 guys and 7-8 hours 👍🏻

Pull it off the trail to flat spot..... drive it out in the spring. I mean I hate to ask how much that tow cost. and... there is no place on earth where a Toyota does not belong. :)

@@CountryEquipmentRentals Curious are you Nicaraguan or French Canadian?

[@turbolq4]

Your shop is a couple miles away from me. I saw the snowcat loaded on the truck sitting out front awhile back. Should have just left that truck there till summer!

That was a long walk out for the driver unless they got a snowmobile ride.

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Jim Hubbell fortunately they got a ride out

[@brianjohnston9822]

Jim Hubbell That was a fair price. I actually expected it to be around the $1500.00 mark. A lot of shops here in Canada charge $250.00/hr which includes the minute vehicles leave the shop.

[@joshmiller3673]

I would bet the cost of that recovery exceeded the value of the truck.
