Mitch, I lived the first 30 years of my life in the north. I ended up in SC and I am very happy. I still have friends up north, and I respect all of you that are tough enough to live there. I just don’t know how I lasted long enough to move.
Hi Frank I have only lived here for 13 years my first 37 years I lived in SF Bay Area in Northern California. I don’t know what is worse all the people in California or How cold it gets here in Minnesota 🤪 I guess I will stay until I figure it out. 😂 Thanks for watching and Enjoy living in a warmer climate 😁👍🚜💨🥶PS: I don’t like the rusty vehicles in Minnesota. I miss the clean cars in California.
This was a great video, thanks. Our temps do not often get very low but these are great tips. We tend to use an air gun on a compressor to clean out a filter and the tractor but I think your leaf blower is a better idea
Hi Mitch! What a great set of tips delivered with your signature sunny side sense of humor! The cold weather ones don’t really apply to me but I couldn’t agree more about diesel treatment for any weather. Great stuff. I also clean my tractor off with a leaf blower. Very effective. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Martin I never thought about using it year round thanks for sparking that thought looks like I am going to start using it year round. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Your sense of humor, as usual , is awesome. These tips are really good. I would be interested to see what other people do to keep the mice out of their machinery. keep up the great videos.
Thanks Edward 😁 now that would be a great conversation we could all learn from. Only thing I could do is not let the tractor sit long enough for them to nest in it. 😂 I do use peppermint oil. I use it in my RV. I take an empty water bottle and cut a slice in the side put a paper towel in it and squirt some peppermint oil in it and add more every month. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Just ran across this video, nice tips thanks bud. Man if you figure out what actually works let me know too. I do find that if let tractor sit and cool off it's less likely to get nest but still happens. They would prefer a warm space to start with or a space they can consistently return too. I also have poison all over my barn and a cat lol. I've tried dryer sheets, peppermint, baking soda, peanut butter on a stick that is on top a 5 gallon bucket so they fall in and can't get out, tried a lot things. Please let me know if find one that works best
@@wickedclown2501 I do the peppermint oil and dryer sheets open hood also Tom Cat mouse traps at all 4 tires plus bucket but they keep coming😵💫 probably because I heat the shop. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨🍳
It’s like we share the same brain. All these are great ideas and maintenance tips thanks for sharing. I have one for winter snow blowing. When I put my tractor away I put a small space heater in front of it to melt all the ice and snow off the snow blower. Usually only takes an hour or so , and then it’s good to go again for the next storm. Cheers, Mike
Thanks Dave 😁If you have any tips that come up in the future please come back and add it to the comments hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Thanks for sharing your experience. I live in northern New York's Adirondack mountains. I'm not sure we get as cold as you but -25 happens. I don't use my tractor in the severe cold but I keep my grapple on in the winter for storm tree work. Loved the outtakes😂.
Morning yeah -25F is cold enough 😂 it seems to depend which way the wind is blowing. If it’s coming from the north it’s cold. 🥶 I don’t have a grapple I plan on making one. I like watching guys like you that have grapples use them for tree work. Thanks for watching and have a great day 😁👍🚜💨🍳
How's she goin'? Some neat tips here Mitch!! I like the blower for cleaning off the tractor, that's a good one. Winter is coming for sure and we have to get ready whether we want to or not eh!! Take 'er easy!!
Hey Mike Glad you watched the video 😁 if you have any tips you would share we would appreciate it. I know you probably have some good ones. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
I remembered another tip... Spray on a Tire Shine spray to your snowblower or blades to keep the snow from sticking. The stuff I use is "More shine" by Stoner car care. You just spray it on and give it time to set. Snow won't stick.
@@maintenancewithmike I hear Howes is good but I have used Hot Shot Secret for the last 3 seasons without any problems. Everyone has their own preferences just don’t forget if you live where it gets below freezing 🥶 Have great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
@@OrangeismyNewGreen In BC the gas stations change over to winter diesel to keep it from gelling. Is this not the same in other Canadian provinces or US states? Or you add this as an additional measure?
Hello Mitch. I am using Howes Diesel Treatment, but would like to use Hot Shots Secret Diesel Treatment. I have not yet found a dealer in our area. From what I have learned, it has the best additives for our diesel engines. With the removal of the amount of sulfur from diesel fuel, additives that increase lubricity have become very important to prolong engine life. Hot Shots scores very high in lubricity. Have a great weekend, Ben
I am just about out thanks for sharing this information about Hot Shot Secret Diesel Treatment. I purchased it from Amazon. A 16oz. Bottle lasts me 3 winters. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Good Evening Sir, Yes In Deed ( Pretty -40CF 🥶) Up Here ( CANADA😉 ) 😇👌👍Great Idea for your carton 👍👍😇 Yes Magnetic Oil Heater is also good for your transmission too 👍😇 Great sence of humor Sir 😇👍👌🤣Great tips for your Leafblower but make sure that air is clean, so that is why I use compressor air ( it is filtered ) so you do not contaminated the inside of the air filter 😉👍OUTSTANDING bloopers Sir 👍😇👌Cheers 🍻🍻
That is great I will try anything those little buggers are a pain. Thanks for sharing our RV is in the same building as the tractor and this time of year they are looking for a warm place to stay for the winter 🥶 😁👍🚜💨🍳
I don't live that close to Canadianationalism, but here in Ohioadia, we don't get quite that cold. The wind is our enemy. If you can protect yourself from the wind, you're golden 😁👍
That is very true wind can make life miserable when clearing snow but you got that portable cab so you should be fine this winter 🥶 Thanks for watching Sam’s Doin Stuff!!! 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Hey Davis I just went out laid in 12 inches of snow in 30+ MPH wind and -38F wind chill to measure in my PJ's.😂Joking!!! Looks like 3/4 inch plywood on 12"inch on center 2x4 on top of 2 4x4 green treat skids if you you tractor is heavy maybe put the 4x4's were your tires will drive over. Hope that help you out. 😁👍🚜💨☀
Mr. Mitch you are "Way ahead of the Power-Curve". No Where did l see a "Junky-juky quicky-hitcheys " in any shape or form. Just that you should know; "insulation does not MAKE HEAT". Maybe "channeling in Heat", to the fuel insulater will be better. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
I do quite a bit of Bush Hog (OK, rotary cutter) work, but regardless of what I've been doing I go over the entire machine and implement with my blower every time before parking it. Good tip on the raised hood mouse prevention. Any ideas on snakes? I found a four-foot snake skin draped over my brake pedal recently....
Up here in Minnesota the snakes don’t seem to be a problem. I would be interested if someone sees your comment and could answer. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@MJADoingStuff Yeah, the venomous snakes don't seem to like those cold climates. Down here in Georgia we have an abundance of copperheads and moccasins. I believe the snake skin was from a copperhead.

Great tips Mitch for us Canadiana 🥴😂😂. Anti gel in the fuel is a must, I like the foam around the filter 👍🏻. Have a great weekend MJA 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂🇨🇦🇺🇸🍻
What is the real story with antigel? I have never used it so what is the best stuff to buy?
Thanks Luc.😁 It was getting cold in the shop in Minnesotia😂You have a great weekend too. 😁👍🚜💨🙋🏻♂️

Good video. Thanks for sharing! I used Krylon and it wasn’t very good, seemed to be runny. I prefer the Rustoleum. Better coverage.
I didn’t know Rustoleum made that color thanks for sharing I got to try it. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
@@MJADoingStuff not sure it it matches exactly. I painted some racking orange. They have a glossy as well

Good point about contaminating the inside of the air filter. I will try to use the heater on the transmission good idea. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Grandpa Gus’s repellent works great deterring mice in our RV. Maybe it’ll work here too
That is great I will try anything those little buggers are a pain. Thanks for sharing our RV is in the same building as the tractor and this time of year they are looking for a warm place to stay for the winter 🥶 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Absolutely fantastic video Mitch! Great information and video examples! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the kind words I am glad you enjoyed it. Have a good one and thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Keeping the hood open is a great mice deterant for cars also.

Do you have a video of how you made your load level indicator on your front end loader?
No but I think I show it in my tractor mods video it is cheap to put together and has work great so far. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️

Stick dryer sheets in areas that you can that will not cause a fire as the smell keeps mice out.
