Winter ❄️ Finally Arrived | Pipeline project | Anchor Brand Ranch

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Ramzi Laura and kids

[@larryorr3571]

All you Said is Real😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@bigfoottreehugger12213]

I’m biting at the bit waiting for part 2 pleeeeeese !!!!

[@frankwinters3732]

Lorenzo is a real Godsend...and the kid too.

[@LuisRodriguez-sc1oq]

🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Lorenzo snuk off in the night 😢!!! Very disappointed in him...

[@ronwells7134]

I gotta say Riley sure knows how to operate the backhoe and the bulldozer. Love your videos stay safe healthy and warm

[@Patricia808OGG]

Your videos are inspiring - no matter the conditions, or the challenge, you keep a cool head and persevere until the job gets done. Or do you snap and get frustrated and holler off camera? …And Lorenzo is always mellow and a good sport…Nicely done!

[@dennisdixon6344]

Get some thick walled DOM pipe & replace what you have there now...then hard face the outside edges that contact the ditch walls...if you can get good hit welds, I'll bet that'll hold

[@donnyg3553]

Blow across the top of the battery to blow the fumes away, less chance of a blow up. Acid fumes as much or more volatile than gas fumes. Hook up positive first then negative.Chance of less spark.

[@KeithRoyer-d1p]

Looks like it’s about time to start putting out hay.

[@necedahlions7626]

Need an update on the project, no update for over 9 days.

[@freedomdesign4688]

To prevent the roll from pulling up off the rack again, you can flip it around so that the pipe goes downward, then between the roll and the dozer, then up over the dozer. That would unroll it in the opposite direction which would pull it downward and backward instead of upward and forward, Also, flipping it would have the preset curve in the pipe going in the same direction as the curved tube inside the plow-piper.

[@PiperStout-hl9qz]

I grew up on a ranch in eastern Oregon. All of haying equipment were buckets of rust. I didn’t realize how much fun it was running this equipment until I watched your channel. Love your channel. Love how you’re bringing up your kids. They will have critical thinking that most kids have no idea what that even means.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

God Dam, that Riley is the handiest darn kid, makes most adults seem ordinary, can drive and operate everything, ranch, rope and ride wild mustangs, all without a mean darn bone in his body y'all and a never say die attitude. Real credit to the Hughes clan.

[@vernonfisher857]

Plus one on that

[@FreeSpeechZoneUSA]

Excellent backhoe operator!! Kudos to Riley, Lorenzo the surfer, and Ramzi camera operator😊! Amazing inventing and third time is a charm!!🙏🙏

[@rodvaughan8628]

Nice fuse. The lips tell the story.

[@dennisbrock5376]

Hay. You don't need to unhook the battery. Just hook up on each battery, correctly, pos on pos ,neg on negative. It will take 2 different trucks. Or you can just hook up 1 battery at a time. To confirm that put a voltage tester on each battery and you should get 12 v on each battery.

[@williamsmith5514]

It was 27 Celsius and humid in Geraldton this week 10/ 1 /24 . I thought it might warm you heart just a tab !

[@carolmacdonald6384]

Its funny...your in Nevada, middle of desert...getting snow. While I'm in Canada with above zero weather...no snow. .

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great looking snow ⛄️

[@skipallert8839]

Nothing gets easy you got it covered.

[@bobhomestead7396]

Thank you for taking the time.

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

Suggestion: Keep a piece of rope on the equipment to use as a "tag line" to help control things you're lifting and carrying, such as that ripper shank. Could prevent serious damage to the front of the backhoe, and make life a bit easier for Riley in those conditions. He is a VERY careful and professional young operator.

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

A good reason to install shut-off valves at EVERY tank and "point of use". A valve on that tank would save the water until the pipeline work is finished. Yes, I'm being the "arm-chair quaterback" here. Looks like your putting that pipe near 4 feet deep. In your part of the country there you ought to fine, with no worried about frost going deep enough in the ground to freeze the water, if you could only put it around 2 feet deep, but I suppose you have your reasons for putting it deeper.

[@victoroneill7924]

Your batteries and cables will last a lot longer if you protect them with conductive grease (not dielectric grease!). You will probably have to go an electric supply store to get it, I've never seen it in a auto parts store. Your batteries will last much if you keep them fully charged at all time. Keep them connected to a battery maintainer when you're not using the vehicle. I used to install batteries for the Bell System and sometimes they lasted for many decades because they were kept on float (2.17 vdc) all the time.

[@leerstock7755]

That storm brought snow to a lot of us.

[@cantwellron11]

Riley the true blue plant operator nothing fazes him good man CHEERS SOUTH AUSTRALIA

[@coreyvandyke528]

If you unschool off the bottom by turning your pipe around. It'll pull-down, not up. What's again? The type is on the bulldozer backwards. Turn the school around, so it's feeding off the bottom, not the top.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Good luck putting your pipe in the ground Ramzi and family

[@frmtrkr]

mount an old V-Belt pulley on top of cab for pipe to lie in and you won't have any problems with the pipe feeding over the cab.old pulley will turn and actually make it easier for the pipe to be dragged.

[@harleycharley8323]

On recommendation of Sparks, I’m subscribing! Looking forward to checking out your channel!

[@jimg915]

I wish this world had more hard working families with kids like these.

[@MikelJay]

A good day with your project. Progress of any kind is good. Snows about to hit northern Illinois any minute. Oh Boy!

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

Hello there. Crap weather your having. I hate Snow.

[@vernonfisher857]

Maybe a roller attachment to the feeder mechanism on the roof; simple to make with two different diameters pipe. Might make the pipe feed easier.

[@jimg915]

I was thinking the same thing or cut a piece of pipe in half and tac it or bolt it to the dozer roof to reduce drag

[@patrickcarlson4007]

Making awesome memories for the boys and lorenzo

[@juliantorres8403]

You should of marked were you join the two whoses together .on top of the ground in case it doesn't hold .and leaks .

[@davidjiron]

David here, i have a thought for you. I have older Mack truck, it sets for months. I have 60 w solar panel with a small charge controller, battery's are always hot. You mite disconnect a cable to get back to 12 volt, also other ways to get your solar up to 24 volt output. I use alligator clips to clip to my batteries, I remove when i drive the truck, turn the solar panel face down when not in uses.

[@cantwellron11]

Think I would ave put marker where it joins so if ya have problems ya no where too dig gess water leaking will show ya where CHEERS FELLAS

[@bigfoottreehugger12213]

Cold 🥶 and equipment don’t mix so well together 😅

[@robertlangford1749]

The back of the Ripper does not need to pivot should be welded solid

[@knockharder3554]

Blessings to my favorite ranch family and to all that watch

[@FreeSpeechZoneUSA]

I just absolutely love your videos and your whole crew❤ Great job of getting the boom started and love those snow men great job but it's kind of easy to track the snowmen😂

[@AdrianTorres-r2z]

Love you guys when am not ranching i watch your videos and makes me feel like am ranching

[@LuisRodriguez-sc1oq]

🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Thanks for another great video 😅

[@josephmelson7591]

Also if Riley's roping career don't pan out Right away he can run equipment for big $$$ until he catch's his big break roping ..he already knows how just got to what's till he is 18 and have him go take the certification school course on heavy equipment..

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job running the backhoe Riley

[@danemoore2302]

Got about 1ft in western ks

[@gregorycross612]

On your boom truck if you only have the two 12V batteries in series, you do not need to separate the batteries to charge them. Hook directly to the terminals of one battery and charge it. ****REMOVE BOTH + AND - JUMPER CABLE ENDS**** BEFORE moving jumper cable to other battery. Else you will put 24 v to charging vehicle or dead short the electrical system on the running vehicle, depending upon which ( + or -) end you move first.

[@thatdave86]

Yes ,the first battery from the earth cable chassis connect

[@tubeu28]

We live in Minnesota, the weather is very much part of the process of getting things done in winter. We like to say, There's no no bad weather, only bad clothing. Good job and God bless!

[@saddletramp1860]

Got to be careful with them big yellow pipe finders. 26:23

[@TruckerChick]

I'm pretty sure Dirt Perfect would approve of your pipe laying set up. It looks to be a good design given that the ground is fairly challenging. I like that it swings on a hinge. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. ❤

[@kmaliskey1950]

You don’t need that big box to bury pipe three inch bent pipe welded to riper shank will work. Too much force on box being pulled. I’ve used muffler pipe welded to deep till shank on my John Deere 4430 to bury it 18 inches deep. Good luck.

[@lvworkandplay]

Things are getting colder here in Alberta. Just got snow here it was a brown Christmas here . Going to be-40 for a few days its says starting Wednesday ish. Hope you guy's say warm and safe .

[@woodcutter3206]

That is one dirty ol' snowman 😅

[@gregsullivan8956]

❤

[@freedomdesign4688]

I'm glad Rhett and Ridge are enjoying the snow and making snowmen. Snow was fun as a kid but I don't like it as an adult. I grew up in New England but now live in Georgia. It usually only snows once a year here - for less than half an inch! ❄☃☃

[@wilburtwo9709]

Always ,always push the clutch in when starting anything ! That 90 weight in the trans is pretty thick

[@kellyneal9323]

sure beats digging a long trench by hand.

[@huskerboy3471]

Hi❤

[@MrBowNaxe]

Well that was going pretty smooth until it wasn't. Hope you get it sorted out and back to your project. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊

[@frmtrkr]

that old freigtliner would have started if you sprayed some ether straight away

[@RandyMerryman-wx2fj]

Looks like you need to clean the tracks on your cat good chance of freezing the rollers and breaking the track adjuster ram

[@tomcarlson3244]

It truly is amazing the force you need to produce to do the job. Steel only has so much strength and as it fatigues it has to break. This is an amazing project. Good luck

[@billharris3335]

When you repair the overhead guide think about building the bottom guide as a roller that might ease the stress on the whole tool. I believe I would build the pin guides out of heavier pipe and then close them in with square stock if possible.

[@LeighCowley]

I just started to watch and I’m impressed with your son on how he handles equipment. He doesn’t look that old

[@dalewadsworth5703]

What’s that ole saying Ram, “ If’n it weren’t for bad luck …wouldn’t no luck at all ..it’s got cold down Texas way also . You have a great crew and family. God bless and onwards and upward

[@isacfriessen3471]

You don't need to take the batteries apart to charge them

[@RonaldLockwood-no8ws]

You should probably put a block heater in that truck and park it closer to a power source, this might help good luck

[@alanwilliams6388]

My first comment to a video ! Me and my wife love your show watch it all the time keep up the great work ! Your family is what this country needs my name is Alan and my wife is Diane

[@ffyfy1]

👍

[@freedomdesign4688]

Are you putting any T-Posts or other markers in the ground where you join together 2 rolls of pipe at someplace other than a shut-off valve (which have the PVC pipes to access and mark them)? If the pipe ever does leak in the future, those connecting seams might be the likeliest spots. And since leaks unfortunately seem to occur when it's extra cold, windy, and almost dark, being able to find them quick would be nice... 😉😄

[@ohfknowned239]

Nice work despite mother earth wants to take everything back.

[@thatdave86]

You can unravel the hose bundle alongside of the Cat ,maybe use the back hoe to carry it forward until its all rolled out then have the boys guide the hoseinto the plough feed .

[@rickwoodvine.7529]

Get a boat trailer roller to make the pipe to run on😊

[@yellowboy1866]

Your pipe laying set up is working ok ,you just need to make the fittings stronger. Perhaps make a forked hole set up, out of heavy plate, half inch to three quarters thick plate. to weld on both sides of the claw. Make lots of plates as hinge sections. Maybe a hard face run on plate edges to resist wear.

[@johnprice58]

Your Fab Rats Cuzzin, Paul;s motto seems appropriate: " We do it nice because we do it twice!" Cowboy engineering is still amazing! Does the feeder tube need to pivot? Since there doesn't seem to be many hard turns would it still function if welded solid to the ripper? Bailing wire and spit hold better than anyone ever imagined! Kink it over and wire it up!

[@geraldoakley4451]

Y did you not do that work in the summer

[@JeffreyJohnston724]

well that sucked it was going so well

[@billmunroe8177]

install battery disconnect switch. maybe you batteries will stay charged?

[@dvisser9453]

This boy do a great job, handle that machines. Well done son. 👌

[@user-nq5wc6ct3n]

Nuts welded on will break off due to wrong welding rod. Need 7018 to weld nuts and weld thickness same as base metal thickness. Will watch to see how long it will go until it breaks off.

[@oliverohnemus5791]

“Some days ya just gotta feed the critters and then go toast your toes in front of the fire” things my grandpa said

[@alkennedy1124]

Just get that water tanker,full of water,and use the backhoe to dig it ,water the starter ditch as you go, ,,,I have a nice sized ditch which, $ 5000 obo money,,, Diesel powered ride on , let me know if you want it thanks BigAl California

[@DonnaAshby-y3d]

Would some oil in the piece help the pipe feed easier?

[@peggyhaines7394]

God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙋🏻‍♀️♥️🇺🇸

[@donnyg3553]

The distance you run the water line , Would need a booster pump to get water from A to B. would it be more feasible to have a well drilled at B?

[@ChristianandFamily]

Field engineering goes like that sometimes, and never in nice weather.

[@lindasides2084]

Can't take the snow !!! 😊

[@dennisthornton4434]

Snowy, snowy 😊

[@scottrat3537]

# 5:35 if you swing them 90 degrees would you fit another one on?

[@robertlangford1749]

The back of the ripper does not need to pivot needs to be one solid piece that will reduce the chances of it breaking

[@PiperStout-hl9qz]

How about running the pipe under the cat?

[@melvinmorsette7150]

Love yer channel! Great family you have. I got a question. Where do you get your dogs n what kind are they? I really like how they work !

[@anchorbrandranch]

They’re kind of a mixed bunch of Florida cur dogs, catahoula, blue tick hound. We mostly raise them from what we have

[@mickeydevey834]

Them are ranch dogs!

[@melvinmorsette7150]

@anchorbrandranch any anchor brand ranch dogs forsale? Off of Bill?

[@jimvavra996]

You should try to add another guide maybe above the ripper itself weld something like a even a wheel rim so it’s not just coming off the hood of the bulldozer but guides more straight down into your hole

[@Bossladyone2]

Lorenzo is a good sport. I am with you when it comes to electricity. I do not look good with an afro

[@douglasschafer6372]

I am always impressed with Riley’s heavy equipment Capabilities. Way to go Riley. How about a rundown on all the Kid’s name, full and nicknames.

[@pv2414]

Mark that joint.

[@Jrsclassics]

Bolt your reel onto the arms on the bull dozer then put a roller on top of the dozer and they make a part that takes the innerduct at a better angle before going underground.

[@thepubliceye]

One cable at a time, always Red first, because you can't short circuit the wrench with no ground connection, they do the ground wire
