BURIED SNOWCAT. Most difficult recovery operation ever.

everyone we have an announcement to make guy stinks so today i have a thing outside that i have to do but because we live in a place uh there's some wind all the time year round we film with iphones still we have like eight of these and the microphone is right here so all the wind goes straight into that and it's like windy city asmr the whole time so i apologize for the wind noise but it's either that or like no video lately because the weather's so bad so if you look outside you can see a lovely actually that's a pile of trash but but we're gonna take the snow cat in the bottomless pit there even though everyone says that we shouldn't do that because it's really a bad idea so in case you can't hear me out there so so this sinkhole up here uh i'll show you i'll hop out and show you but it's a natural spring so year round there's water there it started out as this little tiny hole phil i've gradually messed up more and more of my grandpa's field tiles and i've successfully created the perfect mud hole now so all right i'm gonna do exactly what everyone told me not to do all right we just gotta hit it with all the speed that we have then [Music] oh my god he's holding her by her neck here we go into this thing called oh she's so rough i gotta get out of here we're sinking more [Applause] dude oh my god we're making it through [Music] [Applause] [Music] we just made it dude how did we make that here we go no no no no oh there's a bike in there that's my bike [Music] what it looks like a shipwreck like it's been there for like years it looks like oh my god dude oh my god the track's gone over here that is i can't even see my track either my track is very oh oh wait we might have this dude yep yep yep come on come on come on oh yeah what well we're not stopping till we get this thing stuck dude holy crap how do we get out of that [Music] [Music] [Applause] oh it's going it's going what the hell dude it's going [Music] okay we might be mildly [Music] we're down to the blade it's not even now it's not even moving if we get out of this it's a miracle oh we're out to the windshield i can't even open my door we're not even moving yeah i think we're mildly i can't believe we made it through here though okay well now now we're mildly there's no none of the chassis is visible anymore go go go go i don't think we're getting around [Music] [Music] snap she just walked right across the sinkhole [Music] [Music] [Laughter] i said if you slip at least you'll see where your hat was setting so you know where you went now well it looks like we're stuck tonight and it won't start now so we're just gonna leave it i pulled the key so no one takes it but we're out here the next morning and there's much more water but the thing won't start anymore so we're trying to figure that out oh yeah the blade is completely underwater now so we're gonna try to figure out if we can get to start we could probably get out we got another tractor on it now so we're gonna pull the three tractors there's so much water in there there's like a foot of water on the other side standing in the cab so now we have four batteries and we wired them to make 24 volts because we were hooking up the trucks and tractors and it wasn't working out [Music] um [Music] unfortunately the starter is underwater so now we have to pull it out non-running which most people would say would be difficult but we have a skid loader an excavator three tractors and four more on their way hopefully all right i dug out 13 metric tons of the elephant slop and now we're gonna try to pull this out we got all three tractors hooked up we're gonna try to pull this out if it doesn't work i'll pull little skiddy into the hole i'll take my skid loader and i'm gonna pick up on the blade laughs it didn't even move it did not even move like an inch moving right along so we found the tile this is what this whole field will fill up with water and i plugged it up on accident on purposely so we had a mud pit but sometimes you don't want all the time to have a mud pit so i unplugged it all right so this is the third day of our recovery mission here so okay back up two feet to snatch so my grandpa fills all of his tractors out of the really really old like 55 gallon drum that's filled with rust and crap i i have a new tank but he refuses to use it and this is you can see you know you know what he kind of gets from doing that look look it's all rust from his his fuel tanks look at that [Music] so no farmers [Music] so so all right we spent three days getting this out and it's like negative 20 now but uh some boards like two by six has got wedged up here in the tracks so you can see way up in there so i'm pretty sure that's why that's why the tracks wouldn't spin but the doors won't open now we sprayed out the tracks and they got all wet you know so everything is all frozen solid but it could have been back there so that's why i had to get out last night but i can't i can't get in there now so yeah if anyone wants a snow cat it's for sale by the way thanks for watching i don't know i'm gonna like go sit inside for the next three months or something see y'all tomorrow everyone we have an announcement to make
