Fleet prep before winter

[@Ants_Pants]

i think i'm getting really good at putting the track back on

[@Coppae]

Yeah you are the track master 😎

[@topline620]

Just think, if you got some tracks for the Bobcat they could come off all the time as well 😂😂👍

[@talullahlabelle]

I can’t wait for Joseph’s tracks to come off!! You can be good at that too! 😱🤣🤣🤣

[@jfr55man]

Its the stones getting in there … and the wear of course… but the stones packing into the track make it come off. At least you arent on a hill when it comes off. That is the worst

[@lilreb601]

You’re the heavy weight world champion of it so far.🤣🤣🤣

[@danpags7023]

Let's give Ants a Christmas present and get him to 60k subscribers!!! This guy works his ass off.

[@Jay-z5h6d]

This video makes me want to go into my living room where it is warm and sit in my comfortable chair where it is dry and contemplate the fact that I cannot see any mud. While I am sitting there nothing needs fixing, greasing, or replacement. It’s a magic chair. I hope Santa brings you one like it, Andris. Thanks for the video.

[@arifnoor8358]

Whaaat? Mid week fun. 🎉

[@jonathancook4022]

'Hey!!! No hitchhikers! Get lost!!!' - best line ever!!!

[@krnsssdz]

Haha yeah it really cracked me up too :D

[@zzzires5045]

Stupid arsehole haha. Good chuckle

[@loodusefilm7881]

Bonus episodes are always surprise 😁

[@heatherbrown2761]

Joseph is always quite the party animal 😁

[@user-Sleepy]

Almost 60k subs congratulations. Thanks for the mid-week update 👍🏼

[@Ants_Pants]

Our pleasure!

[@brianramsey4097]

Just wanted to say thank you for the video no matter how bad my day has gone or what mood I'm in your videos make it so much better so thank you very much for your time

[@Ants_Pants]

your welcome, take care

[@pohtech]

Thank you ants pants for great start of the week. Extra video is allways pleasant suprise from you 👍💪

[@brandygray5894]

Have a great week buddy!

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks, you too!

[@MrHugawa]

thx for the video, entertaining as always.

[@Ants_Pants]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@billyhaddock5540]

Like WOW! what a mud pit! great job on getting the mud road cleaned-up better. Give Joseph T-170 more love. tracks are as u stated are a beast..

[@arty1799]

Thank you Andris for brightening my day.

[@susancurrie8552]

Mine, too. You made my day much brighter.

[@SuperMAZ007]

Your hydraulic hoses supply is very decent a hose for every occasion. Agree with you on tracked vehicles being the worst to clean.

[@jerrywoodworking3436]

Make sure you empty that pressure washer of all the water or winterize it because the pump will crack. We know how Chinese stuff is. Be careful. I love watching your videos you are funny and you are very creative.

[@susancurrie8552]

Great video. I enjoy watching you organize equipment and getting things ready for the weather change. It is that time of year where you make plans for the coming year. Good idea to fill in the tire ruts. Getting equipment washed, and ready for the cold is a very good idea. No burst pipes, no damage, etc.

[@andymora5595]

Most important prep before winter: Charging all batteries! Or take them out and put them in a warm area. After winter, it saves a lot of time and money :)

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

Don´t forget to measure the acid content and use trickle chargers. Merry Christmas

[@andymora5595]

@@LaLaLand.Germany That's right. Too bad that most new batteries are sealed and adding acid is not possible anymore. Greets Andreas, from Germany too ;)

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

@@andymora5595 Yeah, I forgot. 😥 But nice to meet You, Fröhliche Feiertage🤗

[@M31292]

Next project to add to the list: a dedicated equipment washing area! 👌🏼

[@dougdavidson175]

Whooo Woot! Bonus Andris!!!

[@murraydorrofield4826]

Awesome a mid week video featuring Joseph

[@bradcrossman5068]

Thanks for the update bro! Glad to see you're getting stuff put away for the winter. It seems to have come all of a sudden this year. Cheers!🙂

[@Ants_Pants]

You bet

[@andrusw5015]

Wow, what a pleasant surprise at the beginning of the week.

[@viewer92759]

Love spending time on the farm with Uncle Andris ❤

[@mickdu2515]

Great video

[@fistmaster2k482]

I saw waste management and thought "What a load of rubbish" 🤣

[@rondadrolshagen9482]

😅

[@letmelooktv]

YAY! midweek Ants Pants shenanigans 😁

[@Lord_Big_ben]

Merci pour la douche à la fin, super après générique digne de film de super héros 😂😂

[@franksmodels29]

Great way to start off the week with an Ants Pants vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@xzytqweo3538]

Nice! Needed an Ant's Vid today. See ya on Friday!

[@peterouellette3874]

I think you like playing in the mud. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ant

Ants Pants - in a relationship with mud

[@davidbray4338]

A huge Thank You for another video that continues to showcase your hard work ethnic. Merry Xmas from Alberta, Canada!

[@mikeromanage3696]

You should make some raised areas for your vehicles to travel on. Like railway tracks. The water will never pool up, and you just add the odd flow through pipe to allow the water to go where it wants. Elevated ground will solve the tractor track but issues. Imho

[@g-man7938]

Always appreciate the videos and your hard work.👍🏻

[@treemankrier]

Bonus video, thanks bro!! As always, great content 👍😜

[@robertstewart7744]

Good job Ants.

[@garyclemons1129]

Keep up the good buddy 👍

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks, will do!

[@andrewlafrance7727]

Dude, great clean up video!! Machines clean up well. Thanks Mr. Pants!

[@Ants_Pants]

Any time!

[@topline620]

Tuesday Ants Pants 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@lefzer7713]

thank you Andris!!!

[@AW-Services]

Brilliant video. What a great year of Ants Pants projects, Humour & creative Estonian genius 👌

[@MegaAE12]

I watch this movie with dirt roads My self hard lesson learned for me is when it is dry use it fix it modify it do everything that you want with it but when it is start rain stop use it it is getting worse and worse. About you track of the Yanmar just rebuild track tensioner it is loosing tightness (on my Komatsu PC25 I just start to loose track tension on right side. So I must do some repair also). I Also prepare my machine for winter.

[@charlietoews1593]

Humans watching ants do stuff. Cool concept.

[@wickedjack1222]

1st winter project should be to build a "skeleton" rock bucket and get yourself a track shovel !👍👍

[@vinnie5519]

What a lovely surprise 🎉

[@piotrnowakowski7315]

Great job! Now all you need is a road roller - the compacted gravel surface will stay in good condition longer

[@autoboybv]

Hello! You could manage a vehicle washing area, with a mudless floor and you could colect rain water and use it to wash your vehicles! Good health to you and your familly!

[@DoubleMFarmHomestead]

And now they are all tucked away for a long winters nap!😁

[@littleoldlady1863]

Hi I like to tell you and your family and friends Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and a Happy new year ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

[@Ants_Pants]

Same to you!

[@littleoldlady1863]

Hi I really am sosososo very you keep coming back can you please do more new show for all of us please we will be waiting for you ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

[@Justin-bb7oi]

Love winter time!

[@Frihetsbesluten]

great video as usual. in the machine hall you could perhaps put a steel beam in the ceiling and place the arm of the excavator on the beam and you can get the bobcat under

[@everestyeti]

Only 59 minutes long, have we upset you or something. 😂🤣 Very important to make sure the machinery is cleaned and tucked up for the winter, you don't want an emergency where you might need something. And that pressure washer, definitely a good purchase. 👍

[@ammelovmokum7346]

maybe the last mud episode of this year....thanx again mon capitain

[@Wendywoo8]

How is your mum doing Ants, hoping she's keeping well. Miss her pottering around in the background x

[@Prodriver790]

Great job Ants , Merry Christmas to you and your family have a Happy Family Time

[@Ants_Pants]

Happy holidays!

[@carlthor91]

Well, you know your first mechanical job of the winter. Replace the seals in the track tensioners. At least you have a sheltered shop, to work in. Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

[@gipsas32]

Finally. I found you geolocation :) Brother Estonian. Love your videos Man, Greetings from Lithuania :)

[@arjanvogel6444]

Janmar deserves some new seels after all that work saving you lots of money 💰

[@littleoldlady1863]

Hi can you please do longer show like 3 hours long please we will be waiting for you ok I have watched all of your show 3 time now ok I can't wait to see your new show ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

[@vincentgijzel]

He also needs all the work done to fill all that hours of footage. Don't forget it also takes time to create a video out of it. Be patient!

[@1944chevytruck]

Good job!

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

What exactly? He just made it worse and wasted water.

[@krazzystallion61]

Box! Outhouse #2!

[@timhudson8927]

Around a year ago you bought Joseph and in that video you said."Do I need a dozer yes, no, yes. I have a couple of odd jobs." Imagine doing the spaceport and all the other stuff without Joseph? Sometimes the universe says buy something and you should. I think Joseph needs a hot chocolate and a cookie. 😂

[@ChrisHealey-q2i]

Ant I commented before you really do need a wash area with some riff raff or nice clean large stone to lay down as a dedicated wash area. Good content as per mate.

[@benediktaskunigelis6658]

The situation with rods reminds me about Andrew Camera and the rocks he has used to make them somehow drivable 😂 P.s. I think it's time for rubber tracks 🤔

[@TheDavidcrockett]

Ants, you can weld on some guide tabs to under carriage on bottom side of idler. They extend past the outside of track chain. I use this method so i can run loose tracks and make them last longer. Use a 1/2 plate about 10" and deep enough to cover half the link. Cheers

[@zippo1009]

I love this channel!

[@stuartcotterill1211]

Ooooooh well this is a pleasant surprise. 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻

[@DiamondMNathan]

I’m sure glad it doesn’t get cold enough here to have to put stuff away for the winter!!! About time to get to those inside projects! The one good thing about winter! I’m excited to see what you have in store!!!

[@mike_holdread]

Your power washer is a real hero. That takes a beating.

Only a hpur off Ants adventures....not enough 😅.

[@tims.9051]

Seems like the spark arrester on the Soviet tractor is very plugged up and due for a cleaning again. You can see the exhaust coming out of only a few small holes. I always enjoy your videos! Thanks 😊

[@earlleelethbridge566]

Thanks 😎

[@sparrowmoon]

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. That means you're a God.

[@ManualG6]

You need to make a wash bay or just a slab of concrete to get out of the mud.

[@andyknappenberger7512]

I really like your videos man.

[@MsDiridari]

Super Video

[@josephcarino5829]

Excellent

[@prophaniti1]

Quick way to clean the tracks, drive it up and down the stream On the cross beam on the trailer punch sone holes through it so the dirt drops through, save some time washing. Need tracks for the bobcat. A large output volume hose would make washing easier than using the pressure washer as it would actually wash the dirt off rather than blasting itvall over the place, and work in mining and we clean equipment day in day out and a large volume hose is better than a pressure washer.

[@brianramsey4097]

Definitely your tensioners

[@tottiresch102]

Old Blue is transporting more dirt in the cab then on the trailer LoL :D

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Thank you for sharing!

[@greg3629]

Great video...now all you need is a little enclosed spray down booth for yourself!

[@ossxcx3440]

Newww videooo🎉🎉❤ Thank you you have made my day😊

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I think the easiest thing to do to deal with the ruts in the roads is to find a set of over the tire tracks for the bobcat.

[@tubeDude48]

Joseph can do it! That road will need to be filled-in before you end up with a tunnel! Maybe add some pigs to the slop. He He

[@patrikpersson9446]

Perhaps twin mount tires on your trailer? Doesn't sink as much in your beloved mud😂😂😂

[@kstimberwolf1588]

Yes! Another early video week!!!! Dude, that track tensioner has a grease seal around the shaft. Get that put in and you won't have to deal with a loose track every 5 min! You have already paid more for grease than the seal cost!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@StaySlyh]

Not sure how the new toy budget is looking, but I feel like some type of vibratory roller (pad foot, perhaps) would be an amazing addition to your fleet haha I can't overstate the importance of compaction, especially in your base Regardless, love the vids and the homestead is looking amazing!

[@dontmindme6171]

All my favorite youtubers dropped their winter prep vids the same day

[@tiituspee]

You should make your own Caterpillar CS10. You just need on addon to Joseph, then you could make the road nice and level. Just fill one of those metal water tank you seem to have laying all over the places with concrete or water and add it front of Joseph

[@bobferranti5222]

Getting fancy with the dump trailer...... Nice! The tracks on the old hoe could be stretched out, maybe they need to be shortened just a bit if the tensioner is fully out. I just bought a new pressure washer to replace my old one that cracked the pump, the new one is electric and works amazing with a brush-less motor. Try and get more of that barrier material to lay down under the gravel when you make your roads, it will keep the gravel from sinking into the soil underneath. I was pretty cool seeing all your equipment working in one short video, Thanks Ant!

[@DaveinUS]

Dont forget to add diesel additive for the winter to keep it from geling up when it gets below freezing
