2023-09-15 03:19:43 +0000 UTCSkidsteers normally have a pretty rough life, some time and effort you’ll have it good as new!!!

2023-09-14 22:52:54 +0000 UTCI don't think I'll even try. I've never seen another skid steer with a brake.

2023-09-14 00:14:29 +0000 UTCYes sir. Took a while to calm down after that!
Watch Wes Work
2023-09-14 00:13:50 +0000 UTCI think that will work. I have to move the brackets and widen the latch pins, but the bones can be saved.

2023-09-14 00:13:32 +0000 UTCSorry guys, it's been tough to do merch. It's normally wifey's department and she is swamped this year.
Watch Wes Work
2023-09-14 00:12:59 +0000 UTCI might have picked up a fancy little toy to make the job easier...
Watch Wes Work
2023-09-14 00:12:08 +0000 UTCI've never seen it done that way. It was suggested that I move the bushing up as high as possible to prevent tipping.

2023-09-14 00:11:33 +0000 UTCI think it's a pretty good machine actually, it's just worn out. 6000 hours on a skid steer is like 16,0000 hours on a tractor.

2023-09-14 00:10:14 +0000 UTCMaybe. I stopped making the shorts after other channels reported some negative effects.

2023-09-14 00:09:36 +0000 UTCLove the music and format of the videos. Any chance we could get some impromptu YT shorts again anytime soon? Thanks man

2023-09-13 11:06:41 +0000 UTCso, what you're saying... Don't buy a Thomas?
Russ Wideman
2023-09-11 20:36:37 +0000 UTCLooking better and better! If that's the same E-brake set up as the T 133 I wouldn't bother with it, fought with ours to fix it, it got stuck on one day and burnt up immediately, the Thomas easily overcame it, never even notice till we started to smell it.

2023-09-11 05:00:23 +0000 UTCPucker factor 11 on that runaway. Excellent save though!

2023-09-11 00:59:10 +0000 UTCAnd speaking of Max…t-shirts ? Other Max merch for his adoring base ?
James Riordan
2023-09-10 20:29:15 +0000 UTCI like the Segway’s like the one with Max staring down the road at that rabbit. Seems like he knew that he was never going to catch it…
Jeff Chandler
2023-09-10 20:25:15 +0000 UTCMaybe bust out the plasma cutter for the quick attach and cut it narrower?

2023-09-10 20:20:52 +0000 UTCCrushing the intro and soundtrack !
James Riordan
2023-09-10 18:52:26 +0000 UTCHmm, bad bucket, bad attachment--for some videos that wants getting welders and plasma cutters out. But that same sort of content also involves capturing porcupines rather than watching bunnies, too :D Once again, Wes' content leads the way.

2023-09-10 17:15:34 +0000 UTCHelp an old sailor out here--isn't there a "dodge" where a person can set a broach on a lathe tail stock to keep it squared up (if not being good for lathe heath overall). Or is that a Machinist's Mate yarn ginned up to allow goldbricking?

2023-09-10 17:10:01 +0000 UTCI just couldn’t believe she would interrupt my video with her coffee sipping. The unmitigated gall.

2023-09-10 15:56:23 +0000 UTCIn closed captioning fluid draining noise is often "applause" which I find appropriate. CC gets lets questions from my wife.

2023-09-10 15:07:12 +0000 UTCI'm actually not sure any parts are available for these machines.
Watch Wes Work
2023-09-10 15:06:51 +0000 UTCMy wife this morning: “Why is it that every Sunday morning you watch a weird video?” Me: “What do you mean?” “I’m trying to enjoy my coffee and the view of the outdoors, and every Sunday morning all I hear is…” she then began imitating hydraulic oil coming out of the cylinder, the air impact, banging noises, engine running………yeah. So my wife may not be a good person to participate in your ASMR pilot program once that comes to fruition :)

2023-09-10 15:02:08 +0000 UTCYour whittling away at it. Keep going. Your engineering and machining skills are amazing. Great video.

2023-09-10 15:00:39 +0000 UTCI'm intrigued to find out what your plans are for the orange/yellow pickup truck parked on the side of your shop. I hope that it's a new-ish truck for you!
Sue Rollinson
2023-09-10 15:00:12 +0000 UTCI could sense the debate when it ran away, film it blowing or try and save it? Nice save Wes and you still got the drama on camera.

2023-09-10 14:39:17 +0000 UTCIf you do happen to need anything that's only available in Canada, feel free to reach out. I can basically see the border from my kitchen window, so it's no big deal for me to "broker" something (It also helps that I know most of the customs folks on a professional basis)

2023-09-10 14:21:47 +0000 UTCI'm no good at it either.

2023-09-10 14:04:20 +0000 UTCI thought for sure it was coming apart!

2023-09-10 13:53:30 +0000 UTCShe is getting squared away. I like that arbor press, I saw one at an junk store but the guy would not sell it he was a car guy too.
Eric Corse
2023-09-10 13:52:21 +0000 UTCI loved the snow poofs coming through the holes in the bucket when you back bladed. I drove one of that style bobcat 45 years ago. I could do fine on dirt, gravel, but sucked at driving on pavement. When I was trying for delicate maneuvers, I would get it bucking like a bronco. Maybe it had to do with the sloppy controls. Nice video as always.
