That fence will be easily fixed. The day you and your son rescued a tractor together will never be forgotten. Bonding time!

I bet the boy enjoyed every second of that. AND for those commenting about no gloves, of course the boy has gloves he just didn't see a need for them, some people are hard enough that a minute or two without gloves doesn't kill them.

It's nice seeing a young man learning these type of things he Will be able to do anything as he grows older. I learned to drive our dune buggy at age 9 it was a stick shift at age 12 I was hooking up to truck and towing our trailers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, dune buggies 3 hours north to our cottage. I'm almost 50 now and very little I can't do thanks to my Dad.

Your son will remember that day forever! Great bonding experience!

When my tug strap isn't long enough, I put an old pickup tire in between two chains. Takes a lot of shock out when you have to snatched it.

A 13-year-old, who is worth his weight in gold.

Sorry to see the fence take the hit but it can be repaired. Nice having the 13 y/o help, taught him a great lesson. Glad all worked out. Thanks for sharing

Good son - he doesn't want to break your truck Dad! Keep being patient with him and he'll be patient with your grandchildren! Rear blade is the only way to remove snow! I have one on the 1973 Case MB 4/94 Unimog here in Reno, Nevada! Thanks for the video post!! Blessing to you and your family!

I remember when my dad taught me how to drive at his age! Such an awesome kid!

That's awesome that your son doesnt just floor it. In snow most people even adults don't think to take it easy. What made you all want to move to a place so opposite of Arizona? I used to think it would be great to move to Kentucky and be in the mountains. Where I live is awesome because if we get a snow warning schools and work shuts down, like the whole city. We don't have the equipment here for the city or country to get the snow off the roads. But we rarely ever get snow and when we do it is still okay to drive on, they just shut everything down because nobody knows how to drive on icy roads lol. The heat here can be bad but if you get a pool just throw some ice in it jump in for a few and get back to work. I love my super long summer days.

It's a winter wonder land! --- our version of the same storm is just ending. A ton of snow here in Wisconsin as well. Now we have 26 and 32 below zero coming the next two days -- then rain!!!!! Kudos to your son for pulling you out! Stay warm and safe...

Buy that boy a good pair of gloves.

You didn't need a tow strap, you needed some tire chains on that tractor. Good job working together. farm kids learn to drive pretty young. My kid was driving my Ford 9N @ 7 years old. not without close supervision! Calm down Haters!!

Good to see some younger people learning useful things yet.

Never reeve between two tow points like that. Reeving doubles the side load on the connecting point a halves the sling angle, in addition to the fact that you've already increased the load just from the sling angle.

Use to use a back blade on my grandparents 1953 Ford jubilee. Used it a lot in the 78 blizzard in Indiana . Also 1964 case front end loader . Easier to turn blade backwards and push going in reverse. Still have and both run well and still use today. I learnt the sameway as this young man.

A real locker in the rear end of the truck would work wonders in that situation, then hook the chain short, like 5 feet between the truck and tractor. Hook low on the tractor, high as possible on the truck, then you'll be putting downward pressure on the truck suspension for more weight on the tires resulting in more traction while picking up on the rear of the tractor at the same time. Also telling your son to "punch it" with slack in the chain could have turned out really bad for you (as in a funeral) if the chain would have broken. Glad it didn't break and you're OK. My son's truck has a caved in tailgate from hitting the end of a slack chain trying to pull a truck stuck in the mud, it could very easily have been the back window if the tailgate hadn't been closed. Just be safe and teach your son to work safe and maybe you won't be attending HIS funeral for something he did that was really stupid while working. Your comment about the strap was what you should have done, even if it meant stopping to go back to the barn or house to get it..

You can put an old tire between two chains for a shock absorber. That will allow you to jerk on the load a bit.

You need a snow shovel or grain scoop to dig out first. A strap would also be good. You got a strong kid that can shovel you free. We used to have to dig out with a folding army shovel. A grain scoop would make easy work of that snow.

I still enjoy your vide,haven seen any new ones , would like to see good snow way down here in the South ,we may not know how to handle that much we have a good snow few years back it shut the city down freeways highways people buses stranded,watching where Y'all live and building your home Amazing how y'all Cope with it 🙄🤩😊🎶🎼😇...
