Stuck In The Mud TWICE In 10 Minutes (GripTrax)

[@CountrysideStrong]

I've had a set of those for years, can't tell ya how many times they've saved me. I showed them in my setup video last 2 years

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I think I first saw them from you, then Wyatt said he got some, so I had to jump on the bandwagon! :D

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@CopperCreekCuts lol yea I told Wyatt about them. They're a great little tool to have.

[@burdslawncare5034]

Ordering those right meow! Thanks so much for so many informative and helpful videos. Keep it up Brad!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Awesome! Thank you! I am glad my misery might save someone! :D

[@CentralNH]

Look on the bright side you can make a lawn repair video and how a certain grass seed performs.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, very true!

[@tylersvideoproduction8603]

I have 2 wright mowers the kill switch is in the platform but it’s only for when the blades are engaged

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I like that setup! Still prefer to flip up the platform for more options on feet placement when stuck but much better setup than the SCAG.

[@tylersvideoproduction8603]

Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care i don’t like scag either, a buddy of mine has a bobcat stand on and he loves it, I have an older bobcat walk behind and a predator pro zero turn

[@RedRockMaintenance]

I've run around customers properties looking or wood to stick under the wheels, But when your that deep the only thing that works is getting pulled out. Great video Brad.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks for watching, I will look for sticks next time! :D

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

This video had me cheesin from beginning to end. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@rongollonik7754]

Brad, I know you were only slightly putting yourself down for getting stuck twice, but don't call yourself an idiot. We all do things that in hindsight were not smart, but that is how we gain experience. Besides, there are plenty of other people that are going to call you whatever name, if given the chance. So, you are not an idiot, but rather you are twice experienced.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, I am going to start calling myself 'excessively experienced' instead of put downs. ;) Thank you for the kind words!

[@nnedi7789]

@@CopperCreekCuts , Well done video and i agree with Ron Gollonik “you’re twice experienced.” What are you currently-2021 using to remove your riding lawnmower that has been stuck in mud? Thank you kindly

[@Something2LookAt]

This is where I think they should invent a hover mower. I know I know, it's impossible really but I still want one for rainy season. That's 2 in the stuck column for 2020...ding, ding. The counter has started! :)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, I love it! Let me know if you need a business partner for the Hover Mower 2000! :)

[@brockjohn90]

They make a hover mower. It’s called a fly mow.

[@Something2LookAt]

@@brockjohn90 Oh yes, I've seen that. Check out Supreme Services channel. He did a demo. It would be a real trick to make a rider hover mower though. But it could be done. And really, it should be done.

[@reginasmart6686]

Not all of the snow is gone here, but one of my tulip beds has enough melted to show the shoots! Come on Spring!!

[@charliebrown3607]

The type of switch you were talking about is called a dead mans switch, it is designed so that if the operator becomes incapacitated for some reason, the machine will switch off to prevent further injury.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@charliebrown3607]

@@CopperCreekCuts No problem!

[@FishFind3000]

For the platform kill switch you can toss a weight or gas can on it to trigger the safety. That or hot wire the switch.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

True, I could do that.

[@jonathanlitten5947]

We all been there a time or two stuck. It happens. Keep those great videos coming.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks, will do!

[@danwright7995]

Yep, always hate when the mower gets stuck which is very easy to do on the standers. They should put bigger mud tires on them but not enough to tear up the grass

[@CopperCreekCuts]

And this is worse too, since I have the 36 with the narrowest tires possible! :D

[@TitanTruckoftheYear]

I really like the tires that Bad Boy is using on their Revolt stand on mowers.

[@criticwatcher]

Note: Riding lawn mowers aren't good for raining seasons unless you want to get stuck. Lol Thanks for the humor.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

You got that right!

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

I would just get the heck out of there until the ground dries up..lol

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Yeah, that is what I did after the second time! :D

[@jazzmenallen6365]

Someone just drove their car through my grass this morning. How do you fix tire marks on fresh green grass? How long does it take?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Depends on the grass and how bad the ruts are. Sometimes you can just press them out with your foot, especially if the ground is still moist. If the grass doesn't spring back on it's own you may need to level the ground and re seed or re sod.

[@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups]

I did that just the other day, was mowing an overgrown area, got stuck, walked to the garage, started my quad with a dead batty with a kick start, rode to my grandparents to borrow there chain, came back pulled out the mower, returned the chain, parked the quad, walked back to the mower got on, and figured if I go from the top of the little hill, il be fine....high centered, so again start the quad that doesn't like to start, get the chain pull it out park the quad and decided there is a spot that doesn't seem wet at all (I mean I can walk on it and it is a little spongie, I know not a word) so I start mowing and get stuck.....walk back to the house, start the quad, go get the chain again pull it out (or so I thought) return the chain, park the quad walk back to the mower......only to find I dident pull it out far enough...get on the quad and well you know the rest of the story, so I decided after that to go mower the dry spot by the road...... And I got high centered in some ruts from last fall, so you know how the story goes, get on the mower, at that point I'm done.....and I'm out of gas, so back to start the quad (once it gets warm, it has some really bad kick back) get the gas can, fill up the mower, put the can back, and park the quad, go back to the mower, starts up fine, go back to park it....and I forgot that the mower needs to go behind my quad, so start the quad after 10min of kick back, park the mower, park the quad....oh forgot to mention it was starting to get dark when all this happened, hopefully this maybe helps you not feel as foolish 😜, I have learned my lesson, I now have my own set of chain and charge my ATV battery so it starts easier😌

[@CopperCreekCuts]

LOL I SO appreciate you sharing that, yes, it makes me feel better!

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

For my zero turn commercial mowers I disabled the seat kill switches. Stuck….it happens and zero turns are horrible when stuck so I installed 3500lb winches to the front of both of my mowers. Also can get a broken mower on the trailer.

[@alexpasko9540]

when you are mowing and you keep getting stuff and it is tearing up the yard do you just have to call and reschedule or do you just try your best

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Depends. On something like this just pack it up and try again another day.

[@musselmanmedia5236]

I usually jump on the back and make it do a wheelie and it gets out

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, saving that one for next time!

[@lawncarelittleguy9337]

Looks like a great little invention! My ztr is so small I can lift and drag it. Lol, maybe I could do a video on my channel next time it happens, cause it's going to!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

LOL They are cheap enough it doesn't break the bank to have them on hand.

[@wrbergner]

What happened in this situation. Did you just call it a day and inform the customer the ground was too wet to mow?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Just mow everything else and leave it for the next visit. This is always a low/wet spot that holds water, so if it is like this there is nothing for it but hope it dries out by my next visit.

[@susanbarganier2282]

That lawn reminds me of mine. But my yard seems perpetually wet.

[@TitanTruckoftheYear]

@@CopperCreekCuts Maybe you could convince your customer to install a french drain? Maybe Apple Drains out of Florida and yourself could collaborate?

Humble

[@CopperCreekCuts]

You misspelled "bad judgement" ! Haha, just kidding, thank you so much for the kind words!

A humble man is a wise man that stays in good blessing. Hope you flourish and find your path home.

[@geo752]

Did you fix the mss you made 🤷‍♂️

[@CopperCreekCuts]

No way to fix it until it dries. Even my feet were leaving 6" marks! :D

[@doughboy1966]

Wait till you hang it up on a chain link fence where it's muddy. Let's just say I'm posting this for a very close friend.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

LOL Too funny!

It happens. It's good to have it and not need it. Than need it and not have it

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Words to live by! :D

[@darrenspremiumautodetailin8235]

So is the person mad their yard has ruts all over it?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thankfully, no. Part of life when a yard holds water like this.

[@Odo55]

Oh oh better wear that magic turban before you start

[@CopperCreekCuts]

XD Too funny!

[@ChuckD59]

"The moral of the story" is always get your mower stuck near a tree so you have an excuse to drive down to the store (it's a nice day, right?) and get yourself a shiny new come-along cuz it's stuck 100 yards from the house and no one's going to drive a truck out there on wet sticky clay soil and besides the hiking will do ya good especially since you'll also have to walk back again to get the wrench you forgot you'll need to loosen the hydros (Olde Skoole), and once more because the chain's too short (nice parking job, idiot!). All the while in full view of the neighbors who I'm sure are sitting inside in the air conditioning videoing the whole thing to be put on YT at 2x speed with Benny Hill music. Or so I've heard.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

XD XD XD

[@felicianoleal4358]

Hey brad I wonder how hot was it there?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

It was actually pleasant. I would think high 70's if I remember.

[@HuntingWolf82]

So you have to go back and fix all the ruts now lol?? Bad luck bud sorry

[@CopperCreekCuts]

We will see what the damage looks like when everything dries. There was no fixing it at that point in time.

[@rumplestiltskin4113]

Bobcat is not going not let u buy/borrow/demo mowers...after they watch this, 😅.... I'm sitting hear going "when did u get a v-ride 2"???video finished: does he still have the v ride 2?...😅...

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, I just demoed the V-Ride a while ago. Made a video on it.

[@rumplestiltskin4113]

I will get to it...I got done with helping a neighbor...she wanted an edge job (I suck), mow, (only the front).then get the wet leaves off the drive way...this neighbor bout killed me...

LOL Just a matter of time, right? ;D

Lol the homeowner must love you. Don't you have a hand mower ace..

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I don't! As a solo operator, time is my most valuable resource, so I don't waste any by push mowing.
