Vintage Snowmobiles and Tractor Burnouts

I was able to locate the 1998 Polaris XC 700 that my Dad bought brand new when I was young! This was always my favorite sled and I hadn't seen it in 20 years!! Derek and Bradley from Vice Grip Garage came over and helped us get her running and then I had to follow up with a tractor burnout challenge.

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

[@et0h7an]

Jims voice is one I just want to sit at deer camp and listen to stories.

[@DeBa1226]

Man did that El Tigre take me back! Dad had a 6000 El Tigre and I had a Yamaha SRX 440, that he and I used to race all over the Midwest. Used to ride Lake Okoboji every winter, eat Shrimp Cocktails at Tweeters off the lake.... just some real, genuine great family time and memories! Thanks for posting that!

[@NoWay23548]

Derek is absolutely brilliant. Started watching his channel only two months ago and here he is, walking into Zachs garage.

[@jennc7111]

Vice Grip Garage

[@mec77]

Same here!! This blew my mind!!

[@Bierkameel]

VGG rocks! He can start everything after a cold snack.

[@scottmitchell8549]

God Love and be with people like Jim, they are the Master Sargents in life, the ones who keep it all going.

[@makecorollagreatagain1876]

Yeah my two favorite KZbin channels finally got together.

[@thomasvorwerk9296]

Just watched your vintage snowmobile video. I grew up in the Red River Valley in Minnesota, and now am in my 70's so my wife and I have hung up our snowpants and boots. After owning 35 snowmobiles since 1972, and doing my own wrench work, like the vise grip garage (I'm subscribed to his channel as well), I truly had and drove the real vintage machines. All my wife's relatives live in Roseau, MN and some work at the plant, so am proud to say I never owned a Polaris, and have never been beaten by a Polaris in a race across the lake. Out side of owning 5 Skiroule snowmobiles ('72 - '76), all my machines have been Arctic Cats. Long live the CATS!!!

[@mintyman1968]

YES! I HAD A FEELING YOU WOULD TAKE PART IN THE BURNOUT CHALLENGE

[@davidcudlip6587]

"We Got Brake Lights, But We really Don't Have Brakes" Ends up in downtown Fargo. Very cool that you took the time to rescue those old sleds.

[@connoralbaugh8045]

Who wants him to show the truck

[@MillennialFarmer]

I'm working on a plan for that!

[@SlimFarmer]

@@MillennialFarmer Zach, would a tour of a GM truck plant this winter be something you would be interested in?

[@DumbCarGuy]

@@SlimFarmer Only if its full of Fords

[@fritzie1968]

Well I'll be dipped. So jazzed to see Derek here. A fellar is 106.719% impressed.

[@Jc14323]

My worlds have collided....my two favorite people to watch.... ironically both from the great state of MN...thanks for the entertainment!

[@tONYbLOOD13]

This is my favorite crossover youtube meet yet!..! Guaranteed Wobble pops.

[@waterskiingfool]

The sled cleaned up nice. Awesome you could find it again

[@mbaker825]

Don’t let him near any of the equipment with his 1 grit sanding skills 😂

[@MirroringTruth]

Hey that'll clean the dust right off that cowl for a feller.....

[@woodfloordoctor663]

Lol. Oddly, I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw Zach standing next to Derek on VGG. I was scanning for that single grit sander in the back ground.

[@conhuberdeau4728]

LIBERTY 700!! Best Polaris engine. I had mine (04 sks700) to the PIN (120mph) and hit a trough buried under the snow. Tore one ski clean out of the frame and wedged it between the track and tunnel. I flew superman style for over 70 feet. We've both cheated death, my friend!! (I walked away though....needed a collar later.. ;))

[@gregfemrite3150]

Nothing better than Polaris 2 stroke cold smoke in your man space, loved the vid👍👍👍👍👍

[@masonstraus1652]

When my grandpa passed on he left me a Polaris Indy 700 just like that! Sparked my love for Polaris sleds, I’m so happy to see a sled just like my old one still pushing on and making people happy and still making memories.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Derek is such a awesome dude lucky to get to hang out!! Both of you are great guys!!

[@ronhenderson1690]

The XC 700 Polaris was one of my last and best sleds, I also see in your storage shed a 1992 Trail boss 4 by 4 Quad. Still have mine. Your dad had good taste. I'm now in my mid 70's and retired, all but memories. Daryl from Vis Grip Garage in one of my favorites also. Keep up the good work you guys. Ron Henderson - Morden, Manitoba

[@michaelkoop6731]

Nice great to see old stuff run again. Nice to see a tractor burn out.

[@georgerobinson7161]

Hi Zach, The 98 XC-700 / XC-700 are GREAT sleds. I had a 600. It is the best sled I have ever owned! I sold it a couple of years ago with almost 10000 miles on it. Now that you have this sled back, hold on to it. It's a keeper! Ride safe!

[@terryk710]

I discovered your Millennial Farmer channel on KZbin about six weeks ago. I have been binge watching your videos, and have been enjoying them very much ! It is great to see a young family decide to go into the farming business. Keep up the great work; most people today really don’t understand how our food is produced. Zach, I really enjoy the humor you put into your videos, but then to be a farmer now days you have to have a sense of humor. Seems like your always having to deal with some sort of issue. I grew up in a farming community in Wisconsin, 8 miles north of Winona, MN. If you were going to Green Bay to watch the Packers play this weekend, ( sorry I had to go there ha ha … My humor ) you would pass 53 miles north of where I grew up. Keep the videos coming !

[@rickgebo5745]

AWESOME my two favorite KZbinrs doing a collaboration.

[@flinty2]

What a great Minnesota combo! Vice Grip Garage and Millennial Farmer!

[@trryhin]

Man this brings back memories! My first snowmobile was a '96 Polaris XLT600 that I bought in 2001! Making me feel old....

[@brianjacobsen8365]

Snowmobiles and Dad Juice (beer). Good times!

[@Jrdnsmn14]

This combination of people makes me happy. Good people.

[@skibik64]

Just got rid of my 1998 600XC with 4000 miles on the clock this last summer. Sold it to my co-worker and he got it running in short order. Of course the brakes don't work on that one either but he said it fired right up. It had been sitting for 10-12 years in my garage. One of the fastest sleds owned. Prior to that I had a 96 600 XLT(loved the sound of those Polaris triples) before that and it could pull away from that sled.

[@jberg8159]

Derek is soooo funny! Everyone’s got to check out his channel!

[@79tazman]

Of course I know Derek and Bradley from VGG just another one of my favorite YT channels glad to see you guys linked up that's awesome!

[@edp9743]

That Polaris brings back memories, had one bought less than 100 miles, rode lots of trails in Michigan Hart Lake. really enjoyed it. Evict them mices!

[@ginggur17]

Love Derek, VCG, has an awesome sense of humour. Great looking Polaris. Sounds mean. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@stillliving5899]

I just watched this over on VGG, glad to see to fellas I watch make a video together. God bless, and stay safe.

[@gunter446]

My ribs hurt from laughing. The look your son gave you when you told him 6 race cars where stored in there. Priceless

[@richardburguillos3118]

That was fun! Surprised it started. Thanks for sharing.

[@charleslynch7274]

Glad u could reunite and get her running

[@cheypetras2748]

I remember my dad having that sled, he loved that sled, and that el tigre reminds me of a mint sno jet that I rode a while ago

[@smithhomsteadfarm5499]

I have the exact same sled. It runs like a dream. I love it.

[@jpdronesolutions8646]

So awesome to see you and Derrik collaborating!! I absolutely love both of your channels. Keep up the awesome work!

[@danw1030]

I love Vice Grip Garage! Good neighbor to have.

[@stakman78]

Hi Zac. I purchased a MF hoodie for my daughter's 9th B day a month ago and it has just arrived here in NEW ZEALAND 3 days before her B Day. Thanks heaps.

[@matthewsmowing]

Nothing like watching old equipment come back to life! Brings back good memories. Although, I can’t believe with all that grime we didn’t get one “EwwWwWWWw”

[@2cylinderfarmer]

My uncle also own a 1998 XC700 just like that one. Yes they are a Fast sled!

[@ToneySpamony]

My dad owned one of the XC 700 red hood that EPI used at Hay days for a as long as they would let t hem race it. Thing was a beast.

[@deanpiper6511]

That sure brought back some memories. A couple of friends bought the XC700's in 98. Good times!!

[@RemembranceFarmsLLC]

“Rubbers expensive. I wouldn’t be that irresponsible” 😆😆😆 Sorry, I just had to laugh at that one 😉

[@colincostine9775]

In 1998 I was on a Polaris XLT-600 and a friend that I rode with had the XC -700. I rode that XLT for just one season because I couldn't keep it on the trail. Next season I had a ZR-600 and he was on a ZR-700. The ZR-600 cornered like it was on rails compared to that XLT.

[@sczorroc1552]

You can see in your face how stoked you are. Congrats on finding it and being able to buy it back.....

[@pauldwyer53]

My two favorite KZbin channels at once!!!! Awesome

[@jefferywilson4091]

Reliving your childhood

[@travisgauthier1836]

I loved my 98 xc700 getting it back would be awesome

[@hedleyjackson5131]

Great to hear a shout out to Wess first farm youtuber I found and still watching.

[@Truckie1245]

I never would of imagined this kind of crossover! I absolutely love VGG! Together with MF, damn. I wish he had more in the video of his repair. Non the less, it was good.

[@chrisbalzer8562]

Holy Crap @Vice grip garage is there!!! 2 of my favorite KZbinrs! Good job guys!

[@country81]

Two favorite people in the world. Don’t tell my wife.

[@lifeonamanitobafarm6485]

Got a love them older sleds. Thanks for sharing, just random stuff, that's Farm life.

[@GandolphTheGreyBeard]

Zack and Derek collab? Oh heck yes!

[@silent8595]

Possibly one of my favorite YT collabs to date.

[@bhall9537]

Nice to see you have some Colorado water around 😉

[@pdmustgtd1013]

Changing air dry filter easier if you use wide band oil filter wrench that fits Cat oil filter on your truck engines. Like these from KD GEARWRENCH 2320W Wide Heavy-Duty Oil Filter Wrench 4-1/8" to 4-1/2" I don't remember exact size it is but I know same wrench I use on car oil filter fits air dryer filter too. I have 3 different sizes of them for Detroit, Cummins and Cat oil filters. That wide band filter wrench doesn't slip at all and if you need more leverage just put longer 1/2 drive ratchet on it. I never liked plier style oil filter tools because they dent and mark up filters or they just make holes in the sides of filter.

[@matthewcook7051]

I was wondering how long it would take the big two you tubers from Minnesota. Great job guys. It’s great that you both involve your kids in your day to day stuff. That’s how they learn. Thanks for another great vidiey

[@lonvansickle2863]

Sled looks great I have the XC 600 of the same year. Great sleds. I blew a chunk out of the track 3 years ago riding trails in Michigan U P. Haven’t had the time to fix yet. Almost 10000 miles on it.

[@keganje]

I just found VGG garage about 2 weeks ago, very entertaining and informative!

[@rickwoodvine.7529]

Hi Zach and Family, love the palais snowmobile, I use to have a 74 yamaha 440 all aluminum body and had it board out to a 500 triple carb. Talk about a sick ass ride I loved it. It had cleeted track with 2" spicks, top speed 143 mpr she was fast loved that machine. Enjoy every video, thank you.

[@mackbullock1210]

Me and Dad still have an old eltigre and 2 jag 340's, very fun sleds!

[@caledonrevxp]

Listen to that baby purr! Use to have a 99 Indy XC 700 what great sleds they were.

[@grandpablakejenkins]

Spectacular tractor play at the end.

[@jimk4267]

Now I know how VGG showed up in my feed...love his stuff

[@jonhamilton2962]

Great video, I just wanted to see the young men pushing to help load the sleds.

[@coreyg7255]

This is the collaboration we've all been waiting for. I'll be dipped, it actually happened!

[@coltongrundy7625]

Derek and Zach together at last 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸 love it. I remember the polaris you have there, a buddy had one years ago, I still have the shin scar from too much fun. Artic cat still rule the snow though.

[@MillennialFarmer]

You had me up until that last part!

[@jacobsohn6237]

I'm rocking a 98 polaris xcr 700 gotta love the sound of the tripple pipes. Really love the wedge chassis though.

[@cubloboy185]

My first ever sled was a Artic Cat Lynx 294-Wankle engine and a grozer bar track. Next sleds were Ski-Doo 440 T-NT and a Blizzard 5500. Next sled was a 1986 Polaris Indy Trail with Hooker studded track. That was one fun sled. Last sled was a Polaris Classic Touring-2 up machine. Tore up my knee and had to give sledding up. Still miss it. Always rode in Eagle River WI area. I'm a FIB-Fab IL Boy I think is what it means!

[@vinnypinatelli221]

That is awesome you were able to buy it back bet ya pop is happy

[@chaleowin7732]

Great collaboration with VGG!

[@davidd2613]

Sweet sled. I had new ones in 97 a mxz 670 and 98 a Mach 1 700. The guys Polaris guys in Cadillac Michigan could make those xc700’s wicked fast. I would totally restore that!

[@distinctmotivephil6824]

2 of my fav youtubers in the same video!!

[@winterbudde1174]

nice seeing two of my favorite youtubers calabing LOVE IT :D

[@FreedomRock44]

I love old Eltigre's.....Always wanted one!!!!! Have never ridden a snow mobile in my life which is on my list.

[@yotaman492]

Those are 2 classic sleds! Had a '79 AC Jag when I was much younger, wasn't the fastest sled but had a lot of fun on her. Maybe ill get another sled someday. Wobble Pops....thats great. 😄

[@qcan8468]

I had the same sled. Awesome in the corners. Not the greatest in the bumps at slow speeds; the faster you went the smoother it got ... if you could hang on.

[@tommy5499]

You guys will should do indoor Go carting in the Cities. Great to see you guys got together.

[@jurpikag]

Two favorite MN tubers in one video? I would have never guessed!

[@pasz6768]

Congrats on the barn find, she’s home :)

[@ReadTheShrill]

A good filter wrench is one that never slips. I love the ones that tighten up automatically when you start pushing/pulling on them.

[@trentlewis1473]

Damn, I remember when my Dad got a '98 SKS 700, those 700s were somethin else. Take care and enjoy what little snow you do have

[@Fireball-il7mr]

My last sled was a 92 Polaris 650 triple. That was an awesome ride.

[@therealRustyShackleford]

Zach....Replace the purge valve in that air dryer before it sticks and leaves you stranded. We change ours annually. And when you put the new purge valve back in, fill the snap ring cavity with the white grease the valve comes with then install the new snap ring. Good luck getting the old purge valve out too! You're gonna need it but it's gotta be done before it sticks open...which it will sooner or later. Trust me!!! Contact me if you want to know the particulars on changing those. Done many.

[@geofflee8671]

This the first time I have noticed your vast collection of trophies. The one that caught my eye was the beer can on the shelf over the door when derek first walked in. I'd be interested in how you won that😄

[@MillennialFarmer]

Interestingly enough a Canadian buddy gave me that the night we won a big championship and for some reason I never got around to drinking it so I put it by the trophy 😂

[@tomvichlach8038]

"We could have one and think about it" must be the official phrase of Minnesota. That's what my old bricklaying buddy from Harmony used to say.

[@patrickhill8748]

Came over here after VGG dropped the name and link. Look forward to more vids. We do Polaris here in Fl, but in jet skis on the water:)

[@joey6070]

You, Onyx and Mr. vise grip and his boy should go riding and post the video in the other channel!

[@Rubedo777]

Agreed. Let's see you having an irresponsible and stupid day with the little men.

[@bossDmaster]

Onyx reminds me so much of Nate. Have fun guys!

[@gregoryhenderson7550]
