Laura you should get a clear face shield to wear along with your safety glasses to protect your eyes from getting sparks in them. I was a Pipefitter for 40year and welded most of my career. Those sparks can and will sooner or later get around safety glasses. You only get one set of eyes. It's cheap insurance .

[@striderkram]

A welder where I work was grinding and the wheel shattered. A big chunk of it got stuck in his face shield. Without that face shield he would have been very grievously injured, possibly killed.

[@davidwhite9192]

ok, Pepper was the star of this one. He's a character and loves to be involved in your lives. love it.

[@tetedur377]

She. Pepper is a she. Otherwise, someone's got some 'spaining to do about that litter of kittens she had.

[@davidwhite9192]

That makes more sense. thanks for the correction.@@tetedur377

[@derkvanrijsewijk1471]

Love your new wireless microphones. It’s great to hear both of you clearly, even when not near the camera. Fun to hear Grant while he was in the tractor and you filming outside and hear him start the tractor. Nice to see you improving the technology you are using to improve what we hear and see. Don’t stop your continued learning curve. ❤😊

[@steven.h0629]

👍😎✊

[@asmrhead1560]

The exterior video with Grant wearing the wireless mic is a really neat idea!

[@perryfisher3373]

I agree. The bluetooth microphone makes your videos so much better.

[@bobcatwelder00]

such a great american dream story two young people farming the land and progressing in life together and the respect you have for each other is so nice grant treats you as an equal in every way possible even makes you start your own snow mobile

[@wilvandokkumburg5868]

Just as primer protects the steel, helmets protect the noggin! You have a large and well earned viewership...great opportunity to set a good example!

[@silverc4s146]

I was one of your followers that recommended you 7 Grant to Matt’s Off Road for this years wrecker games. Please have a great time and enjoy the really great folks there!!

[@CashAndCoinsYT]

Calling you a handy is an understatement! Laura you are amazing! Keep being you!

[@desolatemetro]

Glad you're participating in the Off Road Games with Matt's. I remember a lot of people suggesting you in the comments, me included. I think you'll do great.

[@bobbolieu9013]

Awesome! I am thrilled beyond words that you are going to the Off Road Games. Matt, his family and team are some of the greatest people. They help each other a lot which is fantastic. Yet even more so one of their missions is to help all sorts of people. They are very community mined, and do a lot of work for their own and neighboring communities. Their hearts are as big as the part of the country that they live in. I think that you will have a blast. It seems to be contradictory to say that at times you have to baby the throttle, then at times you have to hammer it to the floor. Don't worry though, that's what their vehicles are made for. You are going to see some magnificent scenery. You are going to do things on 4 wheels that are going to astound you. Keep you hands and arms inside the vehicle. Matt and the whole group of other competitors will take care of you. They want you to have fun, but safety is important also. Go enjoy, and scream your head off. I will be doing my best to be there.

[@tannerdog27]

Of course... Paint the box scraper John Deere GREEN..... then apply a couple of John Deere decals to the side... keep the neighbors guessing 😃

[@plainsrider2604]

You guys will have a ton of fun rock crawling with all the off road guys! I watch Matt's Off Road channel, they are really good people. 😎

[@JeffK1962]

A helmet and warm boots seem to be needed. Becareful, things happen very fast on a snowmobile. In Minnesota where I live, we have a 50 mph speed limit. There are thousands of miles of trails for snowmobiles. Watch for telephone poles and guy wires as well as culverts for roads. Have fun.

[@theHardyMonster1984]

Hell Yeah! Bring in the BIG CAT!!!

[@hanksmith3628]

Just FYI - y'all could probably repair the hydraulic cylinders yourself; Unless the chrome is scratched, you will only need to replace the seals and O-rings. Make friends with the local hydraulics supplier in your area and they can hook you up with catalogs you will need. This will also make for good KZbin content.

[@shawnengstrom3906]

I'm sad NB has snow and here in the southern half of MN the grass hasn't been fully covered this winter yet.

[@OutdoorsSC]

Love the new mics, sounds great and like to hear Grant in the cab as you film. About time he does something around there. lol

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

One of the most important pieces of equipment to have on any farm or ranch (and for a lot of other places, too) is a 4WD backhoe. Where I used to live, where AVERAGE annual snowfall was about 9 FEET, I was fortunate to have a neighbor who owned a 4WD backhoe. If snow got too deep for my heady duty snowblower (the snowblower could not throw the snow over the snowbanks when the snow depth was over 5 feet deep on the level), he would come over and dig out my driveway and paths to things like my firewood pile. The backhoe is so handy because it can use both its front bucket or backhoe attachment to move snow, and can use either or both to extricate itself if it gets stuck. If you don't already have one on your farm (I suspect that you do), then that would be a good addition to your "smaller" equipment collection.

[@davidshannon6597]

Laura, I only watch two KZbin channels- yours and Matt's! I am excited about you competing in the off-road games! Both of your channels display greatness at what you do and family values. I can't wait to see you off-road. Grant is going to love it, too!

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

I remember the blizzard that hit the great lakes states in 1978. Some people were snowed in for almost two weeks. We have lots of people born in 1979 with their birthdays about the same time.

[@richpelto248]

I remember it well🎶‼️

[@kevink4914]

Was this one the one in Michigan? Remember my dad talking about back then. Just don’t remember the years on.

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

@@kevink4914 Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, even eastern Missouri. Snow drifts so tall they couldn't plow through them. They cleared the roads with massive wheel loaders.

[@donc-m4900]

It sounds like the same one that hit Boston. I just heard the my half Uncle left his car in the driveway till Spring. Wasn't able to dig it out.

[@paulcourtemanche2386]

I am in NH, and We got the same blizzard.

[@shesquints]

I really enjoy watching your videos. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT ON HELMETS!!! It would be absolutely devastating if you were not able to continue doing what you love or something worse. My son raced Snocross and I have been riding my entire life. I have seen so many lives saved by a helmet. It was fun seeing you do something besides work! Love from Minnesota!

[@rickdavidson3534]

Snow like that is when you flex on your friends, ride your sleds to town for lunch!! Nice video..

[@jimblakesley6211]

If we look hard we can find 4" on the ground in mid Minnesota.

[@Seraphina_your_friend]

Thanks for the recent video, your persistent hard work shines through, leaving a positive impact.

[@reneesenechal-jorgensen4560]

I’m from Minnesota so I see snowmobiles everywhere

[@ld5714]

Good morning Sunshine!! It's great to see you and Grant again today. I loved it when Grant said "it was a really nice running one and she hit a pole dear on .... (smiled) and said it was the only thing around" 🤪 I like the new focus on getting old farm equipment on auction to restore and put back into service. Have a great week ahead and be careful out on the snow mobiles. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@brianwatson6002]

When you’re looking for cutting edges for like your box blade, check with your county highway department or the nearest big city. I’m a city employee in Iowa and we have several graders that we change the cutting edges on almost every snow event. They will probably give you the used edges. Ours just end up in the scrap metal bin. They’ll last a very long time on your box blade.

[@Chevyman02]

You'll enjoy the off road games. Matt & his whole crew are good people, plus You'll meet some off road friends of his. Yes, the weather in Hurricane/St George is warmer, in March it shouldn't be too bad 😊 I actually live in Nebraska, have my whole life. I've been driving a truck for over 32 years, so I've been all over & know the state of Utah well

[@ChadPrestonOfficialThree]

It was cool when Grant was mic'd up inside the tractor and you were filming him from a distance. All this snow should be gone by next week! Stay warm, you guys!

[@davidboggs7361]

The box scrapper yellow with red flamer

[@filerblj59]

You GO girl and enjoy the off-road games! I'll be rooting for you🎉

[@jamesdennehey1383]

And I'll be watching, from home

[@davidsfake]

Enjoy the Of Road Games. I watch Matt and his channel. They are a great group of people and I know he will treat you well!

[@jeffcarwile565]

Original color on the scraper, would be my suggestion. I am really enjoying your restorations.

[@jeffcarwile565]

Also, I like it that both you and Grant are mic’d up. It makes it so much easier to hear both of you.

[@davidmerves6105]

Laura, learned something this morning about John Deere. He was born here in VT in 1804. I didn't know that. Happy winter.

[@douglaswilliams4735]

Really like the microphones. When on the sled, sit down and get your feet forward, up into the footwells. there are bars in the top of the footwells you can roll you toes up under and lock you feet in, gives you a really firm grip on the machine but very easy to get your feet out when you want to.

[@piquat1]

"Whiskey Throttle" is what we call it on a motorcycle. A newbie, usually, gets on, gives it a little throttle and it pulls them back in the seat. So they grab the handle bars to hang on, inadvertently twisting the throttle even more. This usually leads to some type of crash.

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

Yep. Btdt. It doesn't take long to learn to shift your weight forward and brace with your feet when you accelerate.

[@Rumblestrip]

Taller boots, or old school solution... Spats/Gators. I started wearing them with my work boots years ago, regular socks with military wool socks over top, my work boots, jeans, and then my gators. Keeps the snow out, feet stay warm, still in a comfortable boot with steel toes. FYI, if your in a vehicle, keep the floor heat on and get them caps good and hot, they act like warmers when you get out. Even in -40, those steel toe caps can stay warm for an hour or more.

[@KevinRagsdale-wu3vr]

In 77 and 78 blizzards on the farm I could jump out of the second Storey window into the snowdrift next to my house. we put a rope between the buildings and home to follow from door to door to not get lost. the windchill was at 80 to 90 below then. the 4220 rode on tope over 10-foot-tall snowdrifts but the 8330 with the blade on the front took us all day to clean the drive out and we helped the road commissioner get the grader out that was buried. 3 miles from the house 3 other families and their big tractors we all worked together just to get the roads open. that dry packed snow tell Grand to hit it with a little speed or take the back blade and chop it down a few feet at a time and break it up to move it .just trust me on that note thanks for every thing.

[@markhoule5365]

We are huge snowmobilers here in Ontario. My wife and I do multi day trips in the north. We have 30 000 kilometers of groomed trails just in our province when they are all open. I've been snowmobiling for over 30 years and still love it. Such a great sport.

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

Well you know, it is said that a great farmer is one who is a master of resourcefulness. Being snowed in means you can focus your attention on something else that is productive. You can do it, I know you can. Cheers!

[@jerrypeal653]

Glad you got some snow

[@johnensminger7675]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along!!😊

[@PDog170inDaytona]

When you have bare metal, especially new metal, you should wipe it down with acetone to remove any oil so the paint will stick. Great job on your welding!❤

[@JimmyCornPop]

That's what I was thinking

[@StephaniRoberts]

Snowmobiles are so FUN!! I used to race. But why no heated helmets? You can see better, stay protected, and a lot warmer as well. It’s super comfortable. And when you’re comfortable all the other things you mentioned are a non-issue. Highly recommend.

[@timbopaki542]

Holey hecka dingleberry that's epic, at least you got the big teddy 🧸 Grant and the smoochy Pepper to keep you warm, New Zealand Southern hemisphere were struggling with 30 degrees heat and sweating rolling with it...have fun keep safe and continue to share entertaining content...with love ❤️ from New Zealand 😊😊

[@NAPAuniversalJoints]

if you guys are looking at changing up your sleds again, look at slightly new models then you have that the seating position is more upright like a dirty bike, they are so much nicer to ride and comfortable to stand up on.

[@MrTechss]

The efficiency of agriculture machines has significantly boosted agricultural productivity.

[@paulparmer2779]

There's a heating pad that you could put on the fuel tank to keep it from jelling up it's the same one that they put on the oil pan to warm up the oil and you should get chains for the tires

[@douglashayes7524]

The New 🎤 microphones are working great! Thanks for adding them.

[@larryharney8093]

Actually thought there would be many more comments about helmets. You could use the dirt bike ones over a balaclava with goggles.

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

We are repairing a JD 6810. It has done the head gasket. The head needs pressure testing and probably a skim.

Paint color? Yellow to restore and black trim and/or pinstrip to make your theme special.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

When I was younger, we played in the snow all the time. I learned to ski while in the Air Force. Someone mentioned the blizzard of ‘78, in Ohio. That was a storm and a half. We were living in a duplex in Kent, OH. We were going to college. We shared groceries and meals with our neighbors. I’m so looking forward to you and Grant going to The Off Road Games!

[@grey-lc1im]

I love your videos. I have a farm in Dandridge Tennessee. I’d love to have a farm as big as you. I love your videos Laura.❤

[@abrahamtov364]

Snow in the winter is a good thing for a farm at least I believe that!

Snowmobiling always fun !! Your going to have fun in Utah with matt !! Utah is one of my favorite places !!

[@jimsampson6039]

Make sure to make stencils for the scraper labels, so you can make it look original.

[@gcpsbert7198]

One option might be to get a snow mobile/bike converter kit for your dirt bikes. Then you can turn your dirt bikes into snowmobiles.

[@jeromesmith6449]

Hi Laura & Grant Thanks for the video I enjoy watching them . Snowmobile's are lots of fun!

[@kevinsterner9490]

Fun video. Blizzards like that are fun at first but not so much later on. I grew up in Nebraska and back in the 60's 70's and 80's we had snow like that almost every year.

[@nathanyoder4509]

Sound is superb!

[@johnzastrow8615]

I like your new audio set up. I follow you guys all the time. Keep up the good work.

[@douglashomrighausen9010]

Thanks for the video. I've been watching your weather on the internet; and I think you've been a little bit colder with also, some more snow than I have here on my farm about 400 miles to the southeast of you. It's encouraging to see the weather fronts dropping moisture because it's very dry here in northeast Missouri. Hope this trend continues on into the spring for us here and for you in central Nebraska. When I was in your part of the world during the Red Power Roundup I could see some of the moisture stress in the unirrigated areas. Glad I wasn't hauling to Iams during the blizzards. I made that trip so many times that I remember the exact mileage to the plant there west of town from my truck lot in Palmyra, MO - 408 miles; and on some of those trips I had to set out the weather, sometimes on I80 and, also, at Iams.

[@user-el2gu9bx5l]
