Ottawa Canada here, it was -28C and a wind chill of -40C this morning. I spent the last 5 hours getting all the equipment started for plowing snow. That's a task here that takes a half day when you have no heated shop. Also, -2C is tropical here. We pave asphalt at -2C here hahaha.
larsmark : Same with us in northern Utah during the winter. Gets pretty cold here and the only people who have the problem Chris had are the ones from out of state. He's a hoot though isn't he...
When I did a job in the Volvo dump truck factory, I’ve got to see the test drivers drifting fully loaded trucks on the test track. I was told they were testing the suspension, but it looked more like they were driving rally.
I watched this video with a smile on my face listening to you talk about the cold. Im in manitoba canada where we can get -45°c with windchill so what youve got is a nice day. Keep the videos coming though, i enjoy them all.
I live in west, ny, and I'm still not crazy about the cold, yet, as you and everyone else deal with. I kinda like it as I get used to it. I remember basic training, where some guys had never seen snow. Looking out the barracks one morning after a snow and seeing all the cars in the ditches. Then when I went to Ft. Campbell, KY, I'd be doing donuts in the parking lots. Now I'm jealous seeing you have fun in that truck. Thanks for sharing.
You are hilarious! You sound like me in these cold mornings. I'm a diesel mechanic so yeah it sucks working on frozen shit when it's balls cold outside. Lol im right down the road in Sumter SC and we still have snow on the ground here too. I love watching your videos though! Y'all crack me up! If you ever need help fixing something I'll be glad to help free of charge!
I hear ya Chris this cold weather needs to go! It didn't get above 12 here in Missouri on Tuesday. Kinda shuts me down when the ground is frozen and everything takes longer or is more difficult
LOL just saw this video and been some time since you posted! Past two weeks here negative 47 to negative 55. The first casualty my ford pickup battery and motor froze. The second was the semi window motor (2020 389 Peterbilt 389) window stuck down halfway. Third Airlines froze on semi-trailer breaks set at 60 mph ( I run a train, 13 axels. lots of burnt rubber, like $5,000 worth). Fourth getting home to warm up... furnace in house frozen no heat. Inside of my house 28 degrees. Next wake up and water pipes froze solid and burst. By the end of the first week, I and my dogs slept in my honda hrv in the driveway for heat. I got my semi window fixed after 4 days of running with it down. 10 days later they finally got my furnace going. 12 days after it started my pickup was thawed and I spent last weekend replumbing my entire house! So Chris stop your whining lol. best regards, Glen.
hey bud if you put an Anderson plug on the front of your truck and one on the pump you will not have to open your bonnet every time you use the fuel pump
Right on. I live in the SOUTH so I do not have to deal with the COLD. 6 inches of powder snow,,, -4 here this morning and have not topped out above 27 since Christmas. To heck with this mess.
Up here when it gets cold we have to heat the shit out of everything. We have magnetic heaters that we put on hydraulic fluid reservoirs, block heaters on everything, some oil pan heaters, and fuel tank heaters on the diesels. The fuel tank heaters allow us to run as cold as -40F. In December it was -30F and everything worked just fine if it was plugged in. We forgot to plug in one of the plows and the fluid looked like pudding. I met a logger that had an input and output for the coolant on his f250. He would hook his skidder to his truck and circulate warm water through the skidder. I honestly don't think this is good for his truck but its something that has been done. Hope your engines are handling it okay!
Heh heh heh - I was out at our landfill this last spring on March 1st...it was -27f with a -40f windchill. Trying to get our D8T and Cat compactor started after the previous Friday’s crew didn’t plug them in for the weekend. Hauled out the starting unit (400amp@24v and quick-connect heater hoses that plug into mating connectors on the machines engine blocks) and got em going after an hour.
Northerners love to give us southerners hell for cold weather but it’s not like they can handle our 100-115F in Dallas Texas where i am. Every damn day in July and August is between 95-115F
This cold has also been treating us Alabamians poorly. Both air compressors froze up, the backhoe doesn't like to start below 40F, it also had a frozen up return hydro line and was just overflowing the reservoir and starved the pump, the brakes were frozen so bad one wheel was spinning on concrete and turning the damn machine in a circle before the other let go. The Isuzu wasn't doing right either. We just normally don't prepare for winters or our stuff isn't conditioned for winter and everything just breaks when this cold comes around.
Came online this afternoon for some uplifting developments from you as I have come to expect and found this grumpy cold fed up chap I don't recognize at all lol Nothing wrong with a bit of cold - kills off all those bad bugs! Still fairly mild here in bonnie Scotland although we get our fair share of wild cold miserable weather in the winter. Chin up and keep going!!! PS A happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours.
Hey Chris ! Time to put your big boy pants on( lol ) it's a balmy -18c not counting the wind chill up here in Nova Scotia Canada , perfect for snowmobiling !!
At work we have the same problem with the fuel nozzles in the cold weather they stop working, its really frustrating when the truck is out of fuel and you have to haul for the day. Glad the weather is back to where its supposed to be aka above freezing and raining.
Thats not cold I've heard girl guides make less noise camping in a rain storm L.O.L. My Hogs still need their chores doing even when It's -50 oc with wind chill and -25 and colder actual That makes our Valtra (Formally part of Volvo tractors) cough and whine from the hydraulics until it warms up . I've been working on cleaning manure from one barn. The stuffs froze about a foot on top in the barn and it was 20 inches by the entrance in for the tractor. I was cutting some of that froze stuff by the entrance with a chainsaw, so I can bust it out in chunks with the tractor and grapple to get started. Don't freeze ya nuts off, or freeze to the machine giving it a shake after a pee break L.O.L Take care.
One of the good things about living in Puget Sound is the temp very rarely gets below 20 in the Winter or above 90 in the Summer. We do have to live with constant overcast and dampness, though.
I've been ice fishing on a lake in northern Alberta called Primrose Lake. (Canadian Air Force training area). With the wind chill it was -70' Celcius. But its so dry that you can deal with it in a jean jacket and a Mackinaw... Here on the Pacific coast. -1' Celcius chills you right to the bone with the high humidity!! It literally feels a hundred times colder at -1' Humid than at -70' Dry
thought for sure you were going to tip it drifting then running back to the pond thought we were going swimming ,,did not think it was going to turn in time ..my old service van getting off the highway on a exit hit black ice ,, it turned at the last second ,,6 inches from hitting concrete .the ramp was all ice ,,that was the worst i have had ,,,
The first minute sums up exactly EVERYTHING that sucks ass about winter. I just unsuccessfully fought a battle trying to get some stuff done, only to have the cold thwart my every effort. WINTER SUCKS!
So ahh curiosity question... Im from AUS and Ive operated stuff from excavators, loaders, dump trucks, skidsteers, forklifts, trucks, shredders, crushers... etc. Etc. The list really goes on... if i had an opportunity to move to the states... how would i go for work? Is it in abundance? Could i find all kinds of jobs everywhere? I need to know man... i wanna expand my horizons and learn EVERYTHING
My father works in the oil clean up business and he always has a rubber piece attached to the frame of his truck to touch the ground and it keeps the static down.
It's been cold as a witches tit in a brass bra! And as luck would have it the locomotives I've been in this week nothing works. In the summer they are hot as a blowed coal and in the winter they are cold as hell. I've eaten pork and beans for dinner every night and sit on my hands during the day!
In coastal Connecticut -2* 5 am. 4 pm 12* degrees. Blizzard 2 days ago. 18 inches. Wind chills -30's. We don't want this weather either. Half of America is in the freeze. Welcome to winter.
Yesterday it was -35 here so I chuckle to myself when I hear you say it's cold in north C. -7 .morale to this is I wish I was in your part of the world
When it gets cold like this I usually have to stick a screwdriver in the handle of the automatic shut off won't let the fuel out try that.. I feel your pain I spent almost a whole day to get the lowboy truck started I feel like I need jumper cables coming out of my dam arms lol
It's amazing and interesting how relative cold and heat is to us humans. I'd die in 100F weather and the cold in this video would be a warm day in my area. I guess we just get used to whatever climate we're in. Nice thing about the cold is equipment has more power! PS don't walk on that ice, it's nowhere close to thick enough.
Stick the nozzle in the exhaust of the truck for about two mins and it'll thaw her out. That what we been doing up here in southern Michigan the past cpl weeks
Welcome to the "Great White North". We live with worse than this for 3 months of the year but Canadians are crazy so we don't think much of it. Don't much like you +100 temps in the summer though. Cheers and try not to freeze.
I hate cold weather, it has been around -5F here in Ithaca New York. I can' t get anything done outdoors. Friends in Sydney Australia have another problem: *It was 117F today* , that's freaking HOT!! The roads there are melting!
Bangor, Maine : +9 wind chill - 25 Dam I hate this place, I'd give anything to be able to move away from here. BTW : We mix diesel 60% with 40% kerosene to keep the diesel from jelling in the cold.
I'm glad for you it's been this cold or colder scene a week before Xmas here in Maine when you get below 12 everything sucks I can't wait for it to warm up to the 20s I would like to try an take the kids ice fishing
Porkchop we hit 25 today I was over dressed and a friend of mines boat is frozen in 8 inches of sea ice I want to drill some holes and see if we can catch some sea smelt or Harbor Pollock or Tomy cod
We're in kentucky and feel your pain. Left water dripping in house so we wouldn't have froze pipes, just to have utility company shut off main to fix a leak and said it would be an hour. 8hrs later water come back on street but not in house!!!
We were in the -38 at night and -33 during the day.... for a week. But 11 F is like a heat wave! We are at about 16F now... so warm... but back to the deepfreeze later this week
Bet the mobile mansion is a bit chilly. Those things aren't the best insulated. Hope the young piggies got their new home. That weather would freeze their little tails off!
Move to Alaska, you'll like it better. Haha! We are having a warm spell it's 2 degrees! 30 mile an hour winds! For being freezing you sure sound like your having fun!
I loved your video today and I split a gut laughing. Please remember that Diesel engines do not warm up while idling. Just idle for a short time to get some heat going and then start working a little slow and you have it. Better to work in the cold the mud is frozen. After a week of -40 weather your 11 degrees is a summer heat wave. I enjoy your videos please them coming
Strangefruit diesel is a cold running fuel. I drive school bus with a Diesel engine and I have a blanket in front of the radiator to keep the heat that is generated. In the winter I would like a gas engine as it produces more heat
Lol awesome Chris!! I was thinking take the damn handle off 30 seconds later cut to "I took the damn handle off" literally laughed out loud..... is it possible to put remote start in an excavator? I feel like if you run your checks and grease at shut down and it doesn't sit but overnight it won't hi old be worth it.
When I was growing up I was thought to share so here you go just being nice haha the weather is above zero for the second day in a week and a half. Keep up the great video's
Ottawa Canada here, it was -28C and a wind chill of -40C this morning. I spent the last 5 hours getting all the equipment started for plowing snow. That's a task here that takes a half day when you have no heated shop. Also, -2C is tropical here. We pave asphalt at -2C here hahaha.
Swedes know how to build stuff that works properly in the cold 😁 I agree with you about the cold.
larsmark : Same with us in northern Utah during the winter. Gets pretty cold here and the only people who have the problem Chris had are the ones from out of state. He's a hoot though isn't he...
And the dump truck is a Swedish invention from 1966.
The whole south was in a deep freeze!! You guys aren’t used to that!!
- 2 degrees this morning here,no wind it felt like a heat wave!!
Woke up to -10 in Vermont
No way in hell id live up north ill stay down here in South Carolina
-15 here without windchills the past few days. feels like summer!
When I did a job in the Volvo dump truck factory, I’ve got to see the test drivers drifting fully loaded trucks on the test track. I was told they were testing the suspension, but it looked more like they were driving rally.
I watched this video with a smile on my face listening to you talk about the cold. Im in manitoba canada where we can get -45°c with windchill so what youve got is a nice day. Keep the videos coming though, i enjoy them all.
Also, I love how pickup guys pride themselves on their truck smoking and HEO's pride themselves on their machines not.
Sitting here in north eastern Ontario at -30°F I’m laughing my ass off at you. Lol I think you get funnier the colder it gets Chris.
HAHAHA YUP! :D
I live in west, ny, and I'm still not crazy about the cold, yet, as you and everyone else deal with. I kinda like it as I get used to it.

Almost peed myself laughing at you.
Absolutely love your videos even if I am playing catch up.
Never have I seen Chris so frustrated. 🤣
Monitor 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Chris I'm in Robeson Co NC and we still got snow on the ground from Wednesday. Work for the RR and freezing my a$$ OFF.
Christopher Hammonds we still have snow on the ground also here around Charleston SC lol
Tracey Gatlin as the old saying goes, I think it might be waiting on some more. I think we got about 4in here.
Nerve a dull moment , that's freaking country life . Murphy's law !!
Lol this one made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of my brother in law. He hates snow and cold weather 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry for your troubles there man, I'm close to turning on the air conditioning, 84 degrees where I'm at ! 😎
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
You are hilarious! You sound like me in these cold mornings. I'm a diesel mechanic so yeah it sucks working on frozen shit when it's balls cold outside.

You are a Pansy if he can't handle the cold move to another state I'm just north of Kansas City and I enjoy the weather here

Yep, gawd-awfull cold up here in Warren county. Froze the well pipe and a bunch of water lines under the house, including a Hot water line.!
😂😂😂😂😂 It is such a feeling of relief to see someone else having difficulties. We are all human.
He said every damn thing frozen, woke up didn't have any water this morning. 😄😄
hey bud
if you put an Anderson plug on the front of your truck and one on the pump you will not have to open your bonnet every time you use the fuel pump
😂I love you 😂 we do cold up north, hate it just the same! But it's great hearing your frustration😂
My maturity leaves in a fraction of a second when I get to drift! Even if I have a passenger on the truck I can't resist!
Exactly why we love Florida👊🏻😊😊😊
My name is an-an-an and i wil go to the and. My name is an-an-an-an and i will go to the ann.

Haul truck drifting! Absolutely epic!
Hopefully all this cold weather kills off most of the damn bugs in the ground
Heh heh heh - I was out at our landfill this last spring on March 1st...it was -27f with a -40f windchill.

Like pjexc says, it's -40C / -40F in Canada. You have sunbathing weather right now.
Terry Barber only -23C in Ontario
Sicktrickintuner it was only -47C here in Alberta
should have called me, man. I would be dumping and you digging. I've always wanted to drift a dump truck of that caliber.
Cheers from Louisiana.
Northerners love to give us southerners hell for cold weather but it’s not like they can handle our 100-115F in Dallas Texas where i am. Every damn day in July and August is between 95-115F
WesleyAPEX I’m from the north and I can handle 115 degrees
Come to Australia mate where its 52 or normally 45 46 degrees every day in summer thats about 120 125 farenhite
Down in Houston it’s worst
Same that’s my city and I love the heat
I’d take that heat any day, the cold is harder to adapt to. Warm winters make people soft
Welcome to our world in Northern Missouri. We drive by the courthouse and see lawyers with their hands in there own pockets. Now that’s cold.
This cold has also been treating us Alabamians poorly. Both air compressors froze up, the backhoe doesn't like to start below 40F, it also had a frozen up return hydro line and was just overflowing the reservoir and starved the pump, the brakes were frozen so bad one wheel was spinning on concrete and turning the damn machine in a circle before the other let go.

Oh you poor cold guy. Iowa we’re used to it. LOL was in San Antonio 2 weeks ago at 77 followed by 40’s and they sounded like you. Just think spring.
Hell yeah I hate damn winter. That icy wind blowed up here in Hickory NC all day Tuesday!
Ain't no warmer in South Carolina either. Piss in this cold weather hell 50 degrees would be better than it staying below freezing all day.
Now that’s funny! You would never make it up here in Minnesota!!
Wisconsin here that's not.
That’s what I was thinking if it’s 15 degrees that’s a good day
Schneiderexc I
Thats not cold I've heard girl guides make less noise camping in a rain storm L.O.L. My Hogs still need their chores doing even when It's -50 oc with wind chill and -25 and colder actual That makes our Valtra (Formally part of Volvo tractors) cough and whine from the hydraulics until it warms up .

One of the good things about living in Puget Sound is the temp very rarely gets below 20 in the Winter or above 90 in the Summer. We do have to live with constant overcast and dampness, though.
it's all fun and games until the dump bed tips into the hole and you gotta walk all the way back to the excavator lol
We use to run stove oil years ago in eqpment burn hotter for the winter season ! Don't think the new diesels would like that
I've been ice fishing on a lake in northern Alberta called Primrose Lake. (Canadian Air Force training area). With the wind chill it was -70' Celcius. But its so dry that you can deal with it in a jean jacket and a Mackinaw... Here on the Pacific coast. -1' Celcius chills you right to the bone with the high humidity!! It literally feels a hundred times colder at -1' Humid than at -70' Dry
thought for sure you were going to tip it drifting then running back to the pond thought we were going swimming ,,did not think it was going to turn in time ..my old service van getting off the highway on a exit hit black ice ,, it turned at the last second ,,6 inches from hitting concrete .the ramp was all ice ,,that was the worst i have had ,,,
I've had that problem before with auto shut off fuel nozzles. Usually heat fixes them but when it doesn't, time for a new nozzle.
The first minute sums up exactly EVERYTHING that sucks ass about winter. I just unsuccessfully fought a battle trying to get some stuff done, only to have the cold thwart my every effort. WINTER SUCKS!
Florida has good weather and you can make a lot of money here with your equipment👊🏻😊👊🏻
The feels like temperature here in Western PA this morning was -25. Lol. I don't like it this cold either.
"Everythings Froze Up" Welcome to my world. (The IL/WI Line)
So ahh curiosity question... Im from AUS and Ive operated stuff from excavators, loaders, dump trucks, skidsteers, forklifts, trucks, shredders, crushers... etc. Etc. The list really goes on... if i had an opportunity to move to the states... how would i go for work? Is it in abundance? Could i find all kinds of jobs everywhere? I need to know man... i wanna expand my horizons and learn EVERYTHING
NickyBoii96 I
Up here they say there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.
My father works in the oil clean up business and he always has a rubber piece attached to the frame of his truck to touch the ground and it keeps the static down.
😂 😂 you are cracking me up Chris
Very cold start on a sunday Chris, fuel problems, excavator and rocktruck nice cold start, have a nice day Letsdig, you are a funny guy 😲💥😲💥😲💥😲💥💥😲💥😲💥
So is thet one o dem suthern trucks whut dey fergot ta put a heater in?
What’s up with your steering wheel in the haul truck, looks like your been playing darts.
was like what when i got it.. didnt have a radio in it either so I wouldnt rule that out
It says a lot about your equipment that it starts right up when it's extremely cold, and not used to that. Well maintained.
It must be fun operating all that machinery haha
It's been cold as a witches tit in a brass bra! And as luck would have it the locomotives I've been in this week nothing works. In the summer they are hot as a blowed coal and in the winter they are cold as hell. I've eaten pork and beans for dinner every night and sit on my hands during the day!

That is some serius GTA driving skills 😊
Man all these people complaining about you complainin. I personally think it's a great coping mechanism. Stay warm man!
When it gets cold like this I usually have to stick a screwdriver in the handle of the automatic shut off won't let the fuel out try that.. I feel your pain I spent almost a whole day to get the lowboy truck started I feel like I need jumper cables coming out of my dam arms lol
I cannot stand the cold either. I live in SC on the coast and it has been very bad down here.
You’re welcome, from Michigan. Cold hugs.
-8 F warm degrees. Brrrrrrrrrrrh
Lmao. Cold does suck. Up here in new england its a fight in the winter... Love the videos. Been watching for a very long time now.
It's cold in the south too bro. Time for the Caribbean. Lol
It's amazing and interesting how relative cold and heat is to us humans. I'd die in 100F weather and the cold in this video would be a warm day in my area. I guess we just get used to whatever climate we're in. Nice thing about the cold is equipment has more power! PS don't walk on that ice, it's nowhere close to thick enough.
Stick the nozzle in the exhaust of the truck for about two mins and it'll thaw her out. That what we been doing up here in southern Michigan the past cpl weeks
Lance snyder did u not see him doing that already ???
Sometimes if those auto nozzles won’t come on you can hold the back of the lever down while you pull up on the front and they will work.
Welcome to the "Great White North". We live with worse than this for 3 months of the year but Canadians are crazy so we don't think much of it. Don't much like you +100 temps in the summer though. Cheers and try not to freeze.

Good job Chris. That's wanting to work working on a day like that.
This is gold.
Drift in the old Haul truck huh LMAO that was great
LOL man its been tough the last 10 days

I'm glad for you it's been this cold or colder scene a week before Xmas here in Maine when you get below 12 everything sucks I can't wait for it to warm up to the 20s I would like to try an take the kids ice fishing
Porkchop we hit 25 today I was over dressed and a friend of mines boat is frozen in 8 inches of sea ice I want to drill some holes and see if we can catch some sea smelt or Harbor Pollock or Tomy cod

Dad....about the haul truck.......lol
Have a GREAT 2018 Chris!!
We're in kentucky and feel your pain. Left water dripping in house so we wouldn't have froze pipes, just to have utility company shut off main to fix a leak and said it would be an hour. 8hrs later water come back on street but not in house!!!
mines been frozen every morning. pain in the ass
We were in the -38 at night and -33 during the day.... for a week. But 11 F is like a heat wave! We are at about 16F now... so warm... but back to the deepfreeze later this week
Bet the mobile mansion is a bit chilly. Those things aren't the best insulated. Hope the young piggies got their new home. That weather would freeze their little tails off!
Move to Alaska, you'll like it better. Haha! We are having a warm spell it's 2 degrees! 30 mile an hour winds! For being freezing you sure sound like your having fun!
Minus 15 degrees in New Hampshire, Jan-7 at 6 am, not including wind-chill -- truck outside started no problem.
I loved your video today and I split a gut laughing. Please remember that Diesel engines do not warm up while idling. Just idle for a short time to get some heat going and then start working a little slow and you have it. Better to work in the cold the mud is frozen.
After a week of -40 weather your 11 degrees is a summer heat wave. I enjoy your videos please them coming
Norman Dyck how do Diesel engines not warm up while idling?
Strangefruit diesel is a cold running fuel. I drive school bus with a Diesel engine and I have a blanket in front of the radiator to keep the heat that is generated. In the winter I would like a gas engine as it produces more heat
haha...sounds like somebody just got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Lol awesome Chris!! I was thinking take the damn handle off 30 seconds later cut to "I took the damn handle off" literally laughed out loud..... is it possible to put remote start in an excavator? I feel like if you run your checks and grease at shut down and it doesn't sit but overnight it won't hi old be worth it.
