A frozen bucket of material took a lot of hard work to get cleaned out before we could plow. Plowing the driveway after a rare Tennessee snow storm. Beautiful winter scenery in the woods. New Holland workmaster 75 tractor
Gotta love Jonathan. Does everything asked, shows up to work with work clothes and has an awesome boot collection.
I agree. !!
Whoops! Rule of thumb. Always park the tractor with an empty bucket!
Torpedo heater a good idea for this Ole guy 😅but the youngin Makin headway 💪go Jonathan 👏
SDS hammer with a 4-6 inch chisel bit works nicely :)
Winter wonder land i have to love it cause i can deal with cold better than the heat🙂
I always love the working relationship you and the youngin "Johnathan"? have. He's good,and gonna be a whole lot better
Great team. Jonathan and Scott can tackle and beat any tough project. Never fails to surprise me what the two of you can accomplish.
I keep thinking Scott has to have a propane weed burner nozzle
WOW, THATS a LOT OF WORK
Although the saying goes " the best sailors stay in the harbor, " , lesson learned the hard way I presume ;-)
In my part of Canada we call that August Long Weekend!!!!
Glad you guys reminded me of why I moved out of the snow country. Beautiful area though.
ROFPMPLMAO!! Lesson learned, I suspect. We norther folk learn early not to leave full loader buckets when cold weather's on the way.. Unless the bucket's full of salt, that is. Even then salt will freeze together below -15 or so. We just dealt with -32. Then a few days with highs in the -20's, lows in the deep -20's. T-shirt weather today. Up to +12.😂 Cheers!
It's beautiful, Until it gets Dirty and you have to clean it up.
We all learn, thank you for the video. I did the same thing 25 years ago couldn’t move my dozer, frozen to the ground.
Beautiful snow and winter sky. Nice property.
Imagine living in Canada, and dealing with this from October until March. Keep warm. Cheers.
-6°f here this morning. Tennessee promotes the winters as average temperatures around 40°f Hehe more government propaganda lol however this cold came down from Canada so it’s your fault
-35 f the other day
New sub here. Been married 42 years down here in Georgia. Wanted to thank you for your videos. I have not seen my husband for 2 weeks because he is camped out in his man cave watching your videos. :). Life is great and we love hour channel!!!
With a driveway that long, you should look into one of the snow blades they make for parking lots. I have a 75hp tractor and finally got one after destroying my driveway with a bucket for 5 years. I have an 8 foot box w/wings that expand to 12. The box is also reversible if i have to pile snow. Great front attachment
I don't think they get enough snow there to make it worthwhile.
Thank you for always showing us all the story behind the story . I'm 72 your reminding me of some of my experiences . I called those day's s**t happens days . Your videos are always interesting informative onward and upward !!!
lesson number one every person who has a loader will tell you in the cold never let any thing in the bucket. lesson number two get chains before you go for a real ride down that hill. something's townies find out the hard way.
This video will educate others
@@BusGreaseMonkey vary true. but please get chains on that tractor , and i mean cleated ring chains. before we all get to see a video of you in the hospital.
Air trac and explosives to clear the bucket . In the 70s a driver on concrete mixer truck left over week end quickset in drum 6 yrds . He ran got a Jack hammer n explosives Blew the side of drum out . A little too much powder . Southwest loggin industry , AZ HappyJack #2 we were building the facility . Myth busters demonstrated this on show yrs later ! Build a fire heat up bucket
Wow Big snowfal!!!!
Come on! Get the heater out!
WOW cleaning out that bucket was a workout.
Now That’s what I call work
Hello from Colorado springs I love your videos keep up all the hard work
Very nice property you have Scott! Very serene and remote. Glad you were able to get the trouble out of your bucket after some hard labor! 👍
Thats a good way to run off some good help , right there .
Try a air hammer or that air tool you use to vibrate the king pins out, vibrate the bucket.
Вот - это нормальная зима. Классное получилось видео! Мне понравилось! Круто Круто!!!❄️👍👍👍
And then there's the old timers way of thawing a frozen diesel engine: a bag of Kingsford charcoal in a metal trash can lid. Light it up and wait till the coals are ready (no flames), then slide it under the oil pan (not touching and 6 inches below pan on the ground) it takes a while but that engine will start. Afterwards grill hot dogs/consume beer to celebrate. Use the dark Mustard.
Another old school method we'd use to get equipment started to a lot of people though we were a little crazy, HA !!!
Should use a blow torch to warm the dirt up a bit
Did you think you were going to be watching a guy chip chert out of a bucket for 15 minutes? Neither did I
Man, that chirt did NOT want to let go!
I never thought you would have that kind of weather in Tennessee. I confess I did a lot of fast forwarding.😂
It’s 4°f right now
keep the clips coming
17 minutes of riveting frozen dirt video!!!!
Hopefully spring will come early..
jonathan is a bad ass. i would have went running for an concrete or masonry auger style drill bit after 30 seconds
We used to build a small fire and then put the bucket over the fire for 10 to 25 min then shake it out
It will come out in a lump. A cheap tarp over dry gravel helps greatly
Scott, I would have lighted a fire under the bucket and enjoyed the heat simultaneously. I'm in Nashville and not looking forward to tomorrow's ice storm. Stay safe.
Yes tomorrow looks to be worse. We are struggling with the extreme cold here now. Ice is the last thing we need. -6° f here this morning.
Build a fire under the bucket not a big-o fire just something to heat the bucket a little and that crap fall right out.
The power of frozen water
You should heat the back bucket
After watching you guys beat on that bucket, I need a nap!
I am sore today
Hello from hot Australia.
Stop bragging lol
Another 40c day here. Not bragging, just different!
Australias upside down gravity was holding it in the bucket.
@@BusGreaseMonkey I won't mind some snow.
you may look into getting a grader type blade with angle control that way push snow in the winter and grade the road other times
Winter work in a quarry we had old fuel tanks375 gallon ones cut out and fired it up with bulk pallets and rested the loader buckets over them to warm them through the days work session with lots of scrap pallets.
Would heating the bucket with torch help
When parking a tractor with a loader. Always park it with the bucket tilted down, that way the water will drain. Ending the day with an empty bucket makes a better start the next day.
Don’t know if you read comments. Don’t see another way to inform you, but there is a bus that is free in OKC area. Guy just wants it removed from property. It was on marketplace and Craigslist Might be good to build or just for parts
Not cheap but you should consider getting a set of chains for the rear tires of the tractor. Will be emergency backup when it gets super muddy too.
Air Hammer
Hey... Try this spray a little diesel inside the bucket while it is clean, then use it... and respray before storage... Makes for a really easy to use and keep clean... Also cuts down on rust... also... Heat on the back of the bucket helps in cases like this...
I bet the bucket will be cleaned the next time you use it. Been there done that. 😊 have a great day
next time.... you have a lot of wood on your propperty. build a long small fire the width of the bucket. keep the bucketabove and heat will melt the outside lump in the bucket and make the whole lump loose and get out in 1 time. people from the gold rush tv series doing the same
Next time I’m not leaving material in my bucket. That’s the way easier solution
Chirt, french for frozen dirt.
“Okay I’m gonna die” Felt every part of the pain in chipping the dirt from the bucket.
You guys really need a mattock for that chirt. That stuff was really frozen in there!
That was alot of hard work busting out that frozen chirt I'm ready for a nap. The frozen stuff is finally melting here in western Oregon after a night of freezing rain on top of 4 inches of sleet, temps have been below freezing for 5 days.
You needed a hammer drill on getting that frozen stuff out of the bucket. We learned from the 17 inch Xmas snow 1969 Roanoke, Va. do not help neighbor bury his dad`s VW bug under snow when you have to come dig it out the next morning.
The buses at the bottom of your driveway,are those Lance's or customers?
Welcome to the red clay hills of east TN! LOL
That’s chert not clay
The deep freeze ends in Texas today…we’ll send the warmer weather your way. 4 days of freezing hasn’t been much fun and I don’t have a mountain to climb!
Scott have you tried a hammer drill or heating up the load in the bucket
You saw the entire process start to finish. No editing, one shot
Next time build a fire under the bucket the dirt will come out better
I can only say that's a sad situation! Where is the adult supervision! So sad!
I have heard dump truck driver spray Clorox in their dump beds in the winter time so rock/ gravel will slide out easy
you have to spray the Clorox before you get loaded
Add a torch?
I think I'd have heated the blade up well with a torch. I imagine that would have turned some of the frozen moisture in the dirt to liquid, and with very little effort, it would have slid out.
I bet a thousand to one that bucket will never sit over night loaded .
You could have built a fire and raised the bucket over it. The heat would have warmed it enough to dump it out.
I could have also burned my tractor to the ground. I could have not filled my bucket full of material for the storm. That’s a better could have.
@BusGreaseMonkey lol, not that big a fire. A small one just to warm the bottom of the bucket. It would thaw the dirt enough to release. Don't want to lose the tractor.
I feel your pain but you have learned never leave shit in the bucket, it happened to me with a backhoe took nearly an hour with a kango
This is the reason I quit pulling end dump trailers. A 42 foot solid block to chip out not a good day.
Would furnance help soften the mud?
Well, we have here heated truckbeds for winter...
Who is the young man working for you? I don’t remember him being introduced.
1 stick of dynamite, end of problem. And tractor.
Were is that air hammer at
That's why you don't park your equipment loaded with material.
Poking the frozen bucket of chert with the rod- I kept thinking, damn, the whole load could fall on your feet, just sledge the chert from off to the side! Hang in there- looks like the weather followed you south from Indy??
8' tractor utility blade! Lol.
Could you not hit the bucket on the ground?
10 minutes with a torch would have been easier than 30 minutes swinging
It was 16 min swinging
Felt like 30.
Says the guy watching from his moms heated basement ;)
Should buy a plow truck.
That looked painful cleaning out that bucket.
Where is Tyler, it is been a while not seeing him in this channel.
Use the air hammer
Wet dirt or gravel when it freezes the water expands like 9% so it really gets stuck in that bucket. Like a metal ice cube tray.
I would have never considered it wet. You can see it coming out dry in pieces. If it was wet and froze into a giant icy block we still would be chipping it out. The material was just moist enough to bond together like ice velcro.
iron sucks a lot of heat out of everything when cold, that's why even a little bit of moisture freezes nicely and tightly in to it.. and yeah tongue will lose it's skin if you'd ever lick a hunk of iron/steel in those conditions..
Air chisel?
Awful easy suggestion sitting at your computer…. Never did i think we would be 15 minutes swinging a sledgehammer and heavy bar. I thought we were mere seconds away from it all just coming out on the next swing or two. Or I would have got the torpedo heater out like i suggested a minute into the video.
You need a snow plow for the front of the loader.
For 1 day a year use. I don’t “need” it
NOW let's see whose bus can make it up the hill!!!
Chirt + Snow = chirtcrete
Dear Scott, I don't have any suggestions , I'm just sorry that it happened to you.
Surprised you didn't start singing "John Henry" as you swung the hammer...
ARG! One of the LAST GOOD things about California: Warmer winters .
Have have said it before and will say it again Bus Grease Monkey and Co has way more patience and dedication to a task than I would. I would of like Scott said out the torpedo heater on the bucket and walked away and come back in 15 minutes. Lower the bucket like it was in the video to the ground and put the heater behind it between it and the tractor and let it heat up and it probably would of just fallen out when it thawed enough.
Vibration, use your air hammer
Where is Tyler these days?
Scott next time take your milwaukee rotary hammer with a flat spade and chip it out thst way to....much much easier too..
I don’t have a Milwaukee rotary hammer so no it wouldn’t be easier
A pickaxe is on the shopping list for next time you are in town?
