I spent a lot of years running a couple of those rigs. As soon as I saw that's what you were buying I said to myself I hope he checks the brakes. There's a block on the rear end that connects to brakes and the weld always lets loose. Kind of a design flaw I guess. But more importantly, you guys have summer tracks on that rig. So you can go up and down anything you want but for god sakes don't get caught sideways. If you get on any packed snow and that thing leans to the side even slightly you are going for the ride of your life. There will be no warning and it will be fast and there will be a fouling of the pants. If you are going up a hill make sure you go straight up the hill same with coming back down don't ever go diagonally across the hill. Same goes for tree wells on the flat. It looks like nice flat snow but it's hollow under the tree so stay away from trees. Great fun! Edit: mount a winch on each side, you won't regret it.

[@Cantsaydog]

You are 100% correct and I have gone sideways with one it’s scary 👍😳

[@marvindebot3264]

He's going to either break it the way he's driving it or break it and hurt himself. There's no roll cage in it either and he seems to think it's a rally car.

[@charlesirby9222]

Excellent advice Dave...I hope they read your comment as there's nothing like experienced advice! Pure wisdom! What he ought'a do is install an anchor he can launch when that ride starts! What? No snow anchors? ...😜👍

[@HazzyME]

100% agree with what you said.. your first time sideways will wake you up. Step one. Check those master cylinders! Matter of fact rebuild them before you start playing….

[@HazzyME]

Hmm guess I was right on the brakes lol!

[@sturmey1966]

regardless of what color you paint it, or what you name it, make sure your running gear, bearings, brakes, and essential systems are working. That includes the gas gauge. Don't follow Matt's lead an go out with broken equipment. I'll happily watch 10 episodes of you tearing it apart and putting it back together with new parts and making sure it's properly working.

[@HarryS8311]

Same here

[@briandarland281]

I do believe we needed dollar store Matt on that recovery 😂

[@herbsman05]

love the new toy!!! you should name it "whiskers" keep the whiskers on the front when you repaint it! it gives it character and maybe add some painted cat ears also on the top front! :)

[@marvindebot3264]

I was about to say if you drive it like that you'll break it in a week, you did so in an hour. It's not a clapped-out old Bronco guys, it's a lot more fragile and expensive to fix, and it's not a toy. Keep driving it fast on hard ground with a bit of snow over it and you'll crack the frame as well, the only suspension is the snow and it needs a foot at least before it's really happy. Treat it like a tractor, not a derby car, tracked vehicles are not racecars. Take it down to Heavy D, he's the UT KZbin sno cat expert.

[@homegrownson]

With Matt's luck with Tracks, be sure to check yours before your first real recovery and look for replacement tracks just in case, as for the Name Paint it PINK and call it the Pink Panther and that way it will already have its own Theme Music

[@wynottgivemore9274]

That is a cool idea, I also like the cat whiskers it has...also the pink would be very noticeable in the snow👍👍👍

[@ramirezroyal]

Yes, a nice hot or neon pink

[@DustyakaDD]

That's an awesome idea.

[@homegrownson]

@@ramirezroyal He could even do a Pink Panther Tail on back and Dress as Detective Clouseau

[@homegrownson]

@@DustyakaDD He could Dress as Detective Clouseau on recovery's

[@johnme7049]

I DO like the whiskers on the front. I kinda hope you keep them. :D Paint it Layton Autobody Blue and call it a Cougar cause she's always looking for some fun. Show her some love and she'll have you purring in no time.

[@davidward7781]

Robbie's disposition and comedic timing are essentially as good as you can get what a funny dude

[@jerryparisi2885]

He's Been Hamming It Up Pretty Good For The Camera's Lately. Like Too Much Coffee.

[@scot-sequoia]

There is no doubt that the 3 of you definitely need to be supervised at all times. Another great purchase Robby, I looking forward to seeing it put to work. 15:55

[@ianburit3705]

I did notice the "Boss" was not saying much about the current condition of the cat, but Robbie and the team will do a fantastic job of reviving an old cat. looking forwards to that also.

[@stupidass3791]

Wait until they name it the Kitty Magnet!

[@michaelcauser474]

I have heard of big boys and their (even bigger) toys, but you may need to take The Boss out with you if you expect to get some work done with this one.

[@danwahl5231]

I would add receiver hitch tubes at multiple places and have a winch that you can pin into any of them to give you several anchor points. Probably wouldn’t be as strong as a permanently mounted one that you should probably have on either end. But in addition to a moveable winch you could make a selection of different attachments that could use the receiver tubes to quickly make an anchor point or a snachblock and have a lot of versatility.

[@hafsalinda]

Yep

[@mclarenscca]

Silvester! That's the perfect name for it! Paint in black and white, just like he is in the cartoons!

[@rctjacksonville]

Robby's channel has come a long way! Content that would make the Discovery channel jealous. The crew Robby has is first class and very relatable, build in some back story to increase viewer connection with the cast. Over time replace step by step with middle ground relationship experience, then cut to the final work steps. Lets hear how Dinner came into the fold as well as Hillbilly, full stories. Most important keep it real, people can smell fake from a mile away and will tune out. You and crew are genuine, don't give that up.

[@developdelux9637]

I think install vertical exhausts and call it "blow stacked and tracked it"

[@papatomsthoughts]

Ideas, get some totes that fit under benches, one for tools/bolts/pins etc, a couple for rescue gear ropes/chains/soft shackles etc, one with blankets and Hoodies for people who are cold. Maybe get a couple 12 volt heaters for back. Paint it blue and name it dinner tracks. Cool rig

[@WHITETRASHWILL]

Cage over the back windows in case a recovery goes bad, and stuff goes flying. Those windows are freaking HUGE!

[@55desotomine]

The Jupiter Three! Danger Robbie Danger!!!

[@CXensation]

"It's beautifully ugly" 😅 YES ! That's why it ended up by you - the best possible hands that can take care of it and make it shine again 👍

[@kevinhill9717]

Yes!!! LED work lights on all four sides. Front and rear light bars. Winches front and rear. Gear box up top...oh and I dare you to call it the Blue Bombi!

[@MrJest2]

I love the "cat" motif - I think when it's repainted, the whiskers and kitty on the sides should be re-done in a more "professional" manner. 😸

[@gerryhartung736]

Back when I was younger (45 yrs ago), we would use up side down car hoods tied behind 4x4s to sled. 40s hoods with points worked best.

[@reddog543211]

Here we go !!.....the starting of Snow Cat Wars !!..... Robbys is bigger....lol....very good video guys... always room for having fun !!!!

[@Bierstadt54]

Love it! You should name it Old Deuteronomy, because it's an old cat.

[@MyLifeThai371]

That Robby is so funny! This reminds me of when we used to pull a sled behind my buddies grandpa's pickup around town and we would be screaming "STOP," because the gravel was eating through the bottom of the sled and we were going pretty darn fast.

[@nopartsgarage6691]

I d9nt know guys. I think the snow cat is top priority right now. Brakes , the heat & defrosters working , winches , lots of lights inside and out . That thing is pretty sweet and it has lots of room inside. Great find !!

[@defuller1]

Winches... Their wives wouldn't approve of wenches.

[@larrybe2900]

[@hardlybentspoke1506]

[@lugnuts7800]

Love the whiskers painted on the front! You should name her "Purrl". Or "Blue Purrl" after she's painted, but put whiskers back on it!

[@Denpachii]

The Blue Purr, or Blooper for short.

[@mohawk2185]

It is definitely a NEW character FOR THE ROBBIE LAYTON NATION

[@kennethcastonguay6818]

Hey Robbie, the Sno Crash Kitty needs a brush cage around the front to mount lights and protect glass, would also be a plus to add a basket on the top for extra tools, ropes ect. Ken C. Vermont

[@SirT0M1]

I operated a smaller version for snow plowing here in Canada every winter night throughout the 1980's and '90's. They were made by the Bombardier Corporation and we just called them Bombardiers or Bombs so my suggestion is to call it "DA BOMB!!" We even used it as a verb as in "go bomb off those sidewalks".

[@bengtkorswing5279]

I think you have it right. You know what is needed on it. If I had it I would, like you add a large winch on the front and the rear + some way to run a winch cable over a roller above the rear door to be able to lift if needed. I would also add movable work lights on the roof at front and rear. A good name might be "The Mountain Cat". Wish I had one. Have fun 🙂

[@BigBlueMotors]

Snow Cat should be called Tigger with orange and black tiger stripes, either painted or wrapped.🐅 I am sure your kids would love it.

[@keapanaclam8598]

The “ICE BOX” that thing is amazing. So fun to watch

[@timmccreery6597]

You need to build a nice tool storage box for straps and ropes and shackles and stuff... You also need to go through that thing and make sure everything works!!

[@c.j.conley6760]

I for one truly enjoy your content and the way you put it across the fact that you bring your children in I think is extremely admirable shows where your values are and it shows that you care and love your family don't listen to the other garbage do what you're doing brother enjoy your life and feel good about what you're doing don't play into all the other BS

[@jerryparisi2885]

You Mean The BS Of Be Carful? Even If He Just Hurts Himself Everyone Is Affected. It's Great That He Involves His Family.

[@juliussinischo3958]

Yes Robby, put some light bars on, winches front and back, paint it, and shocks as well, coz it probably would ride better. Name it Snow eater,and paint two eyes looking down at the snow.

[@blackheart30518]

I have the perfect name. So when you rescue a cat it is a rescue cat. You rescued the snow cat to give it a better life and it’s going to be rescuing others so it’s the Rescue Cat. The perfect name in so many ways.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Great video! That cat is gonna be so much fun and so much more efficient for snow rescue.

[@daffyduck9901]

Those Ford 300 six cylinders are amazing engines. I've had them in several different trucks through the years as I'm 60 years old. My last one early 90s in a E250 Econoline van I put 340,000 MI with no engine work besides basic maintenance.

[@Stratos53100]

i had an 81 Truck 2 tone silver & grey, my dads old work truck, even w noisy lifters it was still nice

[@EmptyPocketsOffRd]

Robby, fab the skid loader attachment you use for previous recovery. Let it dig in for winches!

[@williamsanders2808]

Winch front and rear, light bars all four sides, fix the defroster, and wipers. Maybe even add a defrost and wipers for the rear. Later in the future, a couple side winches, for side pulling. Weld on attachment points everywhere. Cargo basket for the roof, and rear, above the winch. Paint it Layton Blue, and call it the blue Bomber.

[@Oldenroadie]

Awesome addition. One picky point. As a Canadian (where these are made) it's 'Bomb-bard-yay' to us. 😉

[@MadWiking]

Thanks for yet another great video! Somehow the snowcat with its grafitti reminded me of my first cat, a Russian Blue. It was called Ulf, short for the famous Viking sword Ulfberth, and therefor was named "Blue Ulf", which might be a fun name for this tracked beauty!! Thanks! Best regards from Snowy Norway!!

Hey Robby, You need winches, front, back and sides, kinda like Trail Mater. I want to remind you all to be careful exiting the vehicle steping down onto the tracks, remember Trevors fall last year as he got out and cracked his head, I don't want to see that happen to you or any of your crew. I'm excited, this is going to be amazing once you are done putting it all back together and improving it to how you want it. That tug of war was hilarious, glad it got Owen's bumper straightened. This is going to be an epic year with that snow cat, I suggest the name 'Leo' would be a good name.

I love it!!!! By all means, mechanical issues taken care of first. I agree with putting a slick paint job on it, LED light bars, lights, winches, etc., and call it the "Wildcat" because that rig will be anything but tame by the time you boys finish the project.

[@richardaenriquez2122]

I agree to add a winch in the front and back. Also add some work lights and I would say add some amber flashing lights. Maybe an air ride seats up front

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Cool find. I'm thinking the linkage came off or broke, to suddenly stop moving. You need a better heater or a second heater, because the fact that it will be used during adverse weather. Definitely needs more lights LED all the way around,and some more interior lights. Cargo rack, Jerry cans, four winches, CB system with a good antenna, and emergency items, and blankets, water and MREs . The seats in back probably has storage. Rhino line the floor, and heck yes paint it and have highly visible strips, neon yellow and blue lettering with logos, over the olive drab body. Up grade the seats for a better ride. Maybe a air suspension. Anyway really cool, with a lot of potential. Take care and count your blessings amen.

[@bernieshort6311]

That is an impressive snowcat Robby, I love the size of it. Plenty of room for a recovery crew and even rescued passengers. I like Hill Billy’s suggestion for a name, Mange cat is outstanding. You need at least two winches, one up front and one in the rear, maybe some floor to ceiling handlebars for people to hang on to when in the back, like you see on some busses. A light bar and maybe a working light, and of course a paint job to match the Rollback. Maybe a basket in the rear to one side for all of your ropes and shackles, maybe even build one into the rear doors. I can imagine how excited you are because I for sure would love to own one. Stay safe guys and girls and thanks for sharing.
