Cleaning Out Ditches on a Cold, Muddy Day and a smoky cold start!

Cleaning out road side ditches with a Farmtrac 60 and rear angle blade. Also a John Deere 5067E and 500M loader. Using a 3 point hitch angle blade is a great way to pull debris from road side ditches. I then use a front end loader to carry of the discarded material.

Ben, nice to see you, your Farmtrac and your John Deere in action. You did a great job cleaning the ditch and culvert out. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Very enjoyable video. Thanks

Ben I believe we are a lot alike in that neither of us can just sit in the house and watch the world go by. That's a lot of work on a frigid cold day but you made that ditch look clean and functional again. If I lived a little closer I'd bring my Sany 35 and the 36" ditch bucket over and turn you loose with it. With the heated cab you'd have a fun day and I'd enjoy watching you put it through its paces. Thanks for a year of great videos, wishing you a Merry Christmas and looking forward to another year of captivating content.

Good work, Ben! Looks like the new Deere is working as it should.

Looks really good Ben. Love those clean up jobs like that where you can make things look and work a whole lot better pretty quick. Satisfying. Hope y'all had a good Christmas!

Great job on the ditch cleaning, it amazes me how often that has to be done, glad to see the Farmtrac at work again and of course the new John Deere, I am so thankful to see the dusting of snow, you have 100% more than we do here in north Georgia, I pray that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Awesome job Ben, Ole Blue fired right up and did a great job, and the JD is working out really great, you’re getting the hang of it pretty quickly too, you’re a great operator, God Bless and Merry Christmas to You and Your Family

[joeyrector]

That John Deere is doing a great job. I see that you're getting use to it now

[cappy]

Awesome work Ben. The new tractor is def getting a workout. Merry Christmas!!!

Looks good thanks for sharing. Maybe you could use a chain and tire to unclog that drain pipe?

[ABMFARM]

Look'n great Ben. Still think you should build your windshield back for days like this, also the ole farmtrac is still looking great too ....and ...You and Your Family Have a Merry Christmas.

Even if you don't have to have that tracor you get your money's worth out of it and when hay season comes you help pay for them with your side work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Nice, I would love to have a blade that tilts, my old one is too far gone to make it work like that. I guess I'll have to break down and get me a new one that will do that. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[mikerequa]

Great video young man!! Wish i could scoop stuff up as smooth as you. Sure wish my angle blade would tilt like yours does it does still swivel but won't go all the way around anymore but it was twisted 13 year's ago when i bought it so guess it's time to try get another one but usually only use it when it snow's . Our road department never cleans the road so that's what i use to throw snow in ditch. Merry Christmas to you n your family. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy yall's family time and homestead

[hattcreekfarm]

Looks great Ben, I’ll bet you miss the windshield you had on the Kubota with these cold temperatures!!

[tribbleridge]

Front porch setting, it’s not for me either. Looks good Ben. Longer driveways are continuous work. Keep smiling and merry Christmas

[alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

Great job. Bet you are glad that’s done. I can tell you have done that many times before. Looks cold there with a skiff of snow. What state are you in? Storming up here in Nova Scotia today. Merry Christmas 🎄

[andymauthe]

Ben, it’s nice to see you got a little snow for Christmas! Another nice video. Good to see the Farmtrac doing some work and it’s nice to see you getting some more seat time on the new John Deere. How are you liking it so far as you have gotten more time with it? Stay safe and warm and have a blessed Christmas.

[michaelcooke]

Great video Ben. I had a farm trac just like that it was a strong running tractor. Have you ever had any problem with fuel dripping out of the small tube on the side of the engine when parked?

[samuelscragg]

That was a job made easy. The ford beside of the lane I’m thinking 49 to 54 model I can’t really tell. Looks to be in google condition.
