That was amazing, and possibly the best water sports video ever! Crazy stuff! Loved it! I am from Michigan, and I love Michigan!

[@MrStudabaker]

Wow, thanks Paulie, you are the man. Did I hear through the grape vine that you are moving back?

[@PaulieDetmurds]

I will be back in the Michigan Mother-Land for sure! Within the year,..would have been sooner,..but this nonsense has slowed down my operation!

[@MrStudabaker]

@@PaulieDetmurds Bringing your tractors too?

[@PaulieDetmurds]

I hope to bring back Resurrected and the grass cutter JD.

[@rednecktractors10]

I am so glad you caught me coming out of the deep water pit, I didn't realize how high my front tires were off the ground, that was awesome 🤣

[@MrStudabaker]

Yes sir that was badass.

[@sed6]

You did a great job filming! And that one hand on the fly carb tuning was great 👍

[@MrStudabaker]

Haha love it. Thought at the moment what the hell. Thank you for the bump.

[@creepycrawler43]

Man that stuff was deep! Great footage!

[@MrStudabaker]

You ain't kidding. Some places the 28" rear tires completely submerged. Thanks for the bump.

[@liljoeii6091]

Awesome video thank you

[@backyardbuggies939]

This reminds me of some of our trail rides . . . 👍

[@darkleopard3381]

Man that looks like so much fun I wish I knew a set of people like you to hang out with at least then I will be able to use my off-road tractor

[@MrStudabaker]

Its a blast and well worth a day drive or two to run a good trail for a whole day, which is typical for me.

[@darkleopard3381]

Yes that sounds awesome my poor Craftsman has been out on the trail since 2017 and it was a blast going through all the mud holes no matter how dirty and muddy I got it was just so much fun

[@MrStudabaker]

Since 2017 that is a good bit of time out running around. Where are you from? Always looking for a new place to visit for a good ole fashioned group ride.

[@AAPHomestead]

Heck yeah Freaking awesome 👊💥

[@MrStudabaker]

Thank you for the bump Armed American Patriot.

[@mudddigger1233]

I'm I the only one who ducked under that branch as yall went under while I was watching hahhaha lol 😂

[@MrStudabaker]

When I saw that branch I went "hmm wonder if anyone is going to duck".

[@jjrotogeek]

to damn awesome!!!

[@HillbillyOffroading]

Group rides are so much nicer then solo rides. Theres always the one on the crowd that rollsover. What's happened to the 2 tractors being pulled. Dang keiser turns on a dime.

[@MrStudabaker]

Group rides are a hoot. Solo rides are a blast too. The Orange one blown motor and Gator idler pulley let go. Good notice Keizer does turn very well now.

[@Lucky7MudMowers]

Nice video keep them coming #MudMowers

[@MrStudabaker]

Thank you sir, love driving around with this group.

[@WhiskeyThrottle]

Shittin n Gettin.

[@MrStudabaker]

Yes sir that's how they roll and I like it.

[@JorgeVonVogler]

Super under rated

[@MrStudabaker]

Thank you for the bump you are the best.

[@melvinthemechanic]

Wow that thing is a monster

[@MrStudabaker]

They all are. hahaha.

[@LauraBarr-vo3tl]

This looks like busgo with garden tractors

[@andrewholland452]

Great video man

[@MrStudabaker]

Thank you Andrew

[@andrewholland452]

Quick question I just picked up two cupcakes one is a 124 and now there's a 125 I was wondering how you got yours to get up to speed

[@MrStudabaker]

@@andrewholland452 Took a bit, started with a 47% overdrive gear set install, bigger tires 28" dia. and mods to the motor to make 5K rpm. If you want more detail look up Cleetus Joe on Facebook and peruse the photo albums.

[@andrewholland452]

Thank you very much

[@MrStudabaker]

No problem.

[@masongahler8739]

How do you get it so your belt does not slip or at least not that much. Other wise great video.

[@MrStudabaker]

I may have an answer for you on the next video release. It may help or may not but this project has been in the making since last fall.

[@cs-mudmowersfromhell9266]

we have invented mud tractor limbo lol!

Walt started it all.

[@jimmypopp2695]

That branch was so low I had to duck my head watching...

[@MrStudabaker]

Nice, was hoping for that effect.

[@jimmypopp2695]

@@MrStudabaker I am building a John Deer e with an XS650 and a mobile generator welder on it and I am in Northeastern PA so you will get to see it in person when I come to meet up with Todd, and Sean. It may go with an engine like yours if I can find a decent block and build one.

[@MrStudabaker]

Sounds intriguing would be great seeing you and the JD. Good luck finding a K341 block they are quickly becoming a rare find.

[@jimmypopp2695]

@@MrStudabaker Thanks brother. I just bought a Campbell Hausfield Arc welder to mount on the front of the tractor so we can do any repairs in the field. I am so psyched for this fall. As I said I have been laid up since my Harley wreck for almost five months with my leg up. It has been horrific. Ill show you the pics when I see you.

[@domkeller9460]

What type of motors do you have in the mowers

[@MrStudabaker]

Mostly 20hp twins.

[@redzz02]

Fuck All those pulley sprinklers lol dude you guys had a blast I’m jealous that deep water looks so fun! I think mine would suck water super quick

[@MrStudabaker]

Keizer did and then fired right back up. You gotta love pulley sprinklers.

[@redzz02]

Mr Studabaker I HATE pulley sprinklers lol

[@Donaldcon]

I think you need a 24" stretch too. Odd man out

[@MrStudabaker]

Yeah right on, wait a second, um No. Oh hey, bent our trail side tie rod fix driving over a stump in that outing.

[@rednecktractors10]

My Roper isn't stretched lol

[@naynnay4556]

Mowwah boggin!!🔥👍

[@MrStudabaker]

@@naynnay4556 Hell yes, good times.

[@naynnay4556]

Mr Studabaker would their be any chance that I’d be able to snap you or messenger you for tips for my mower project? Like a user name?

[@adaml262]

What engine do you have in your mud mower?

[@MrStudabaker]

Keizer has a k341 kohler 16hp flathead.

[@harryfritter8266]

How do you mow mud?

[@MrStudabaker]

Good question, which depends on how deep you want to mow. For me its mowing it down to 9" for a good deep clean cut.

[@blainehoffman6773]

I actually made a mud mower from a 13 horse cub cadet

[@MrStudabaker]

Nice, how did it do?

[@gavinfreund8735]

Can u help me make 1?

[@MrStudabaker]

I would love to help and if I can't I'm sure I may know someone who can.
