bolens 900 romping through The Creek

[rctractorboy]

May i suggest a winch and mud flaps

[tommartyn]

@rctractorboy

Heck yeah man. That would be a great addition. The number one thing it needed was just good tires. these were flat crappy turf tires off an 80's craftsman. So, can't expect too much from them. Normally we run AG tires, or ATV tires.

[123dirtmerchant]

i can do that with my simplicity 7112 that has not tread left

[MrEarthmover]

so you dont have quad bikes?

[tommartyn]

@MrEarthmover

Back then, in 2002/3, all we had was the Garden Tractors, And Cars/Trucks.

Now a days we have over 20 three wheelers. Mostly Honda ATC's, a couple yahmaha YTM's, and a couple Kawasaki KLT's.

It just got to be too much work to keep the Tractors going. This is our worst tractor video too, by the way. We usually have way more people, and way better tires.

[BinShotOsama]

Whys everyone hatin on tom?

[pysiaktoon]

the scariest movie i have ever seen

[tommartyn]

@pysiaktoon

You should probably try to see more movies then. :)

[service1956]

Let me guess.................A bunch of Southern Hillbillies?

[tommartyn]

@service1956

Not at all, but thanks for being a jerk. I don't need to guess about that...

By the way, a camera guy, and a performer, don't count as a bunch. More along the lines of a few or a couple of people. But hey, can't expect too much from you, now can i?

[service1956]

@tommartyn

Let me guess again........a few guy's acting like little kids, playing in the mud!! Really can't expect too much from kids now can we?

[tommartyn]

@service1956

Alright, now you're being fair. :)

[WhatUGawkinAt]

@service1956 Well if you're the type that views adulthood as all work and no fun, you have been mislead or have a lot more growing up to do.

[WhatUGawkinAt]

So...I'm not the only one that does this?!?!? :D

[tommartyn]

@WhatUGawkinAt

There are tons of people man, Its a good cheap way to have some fun :)

[fast0213]

geico caveman stole a lawnmower and tears the shit out of the creekbed should have been the title of this video

[tommartyn]

@fast0213

The creek bed is transitory. Cavemen are forever.

[Tschuschenkoffer]

he is such an idiot, omg

[tommartyn]

@Tschuschenkoffer

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Hey, think about this, He spent his time doing something he enjoyed, You spent your time watching something you didn't like...

Kinda seems like he might not be the idiot...

[EatLibertyCaps]

@tommartyn ha that was very well said my friend. I would love to see a winch on that tractor. Itd be unstoppable!!!

[tommartyn]

@EatLibertyCaps

Thanks man, yeah, a winch would be perfect on one of these beasts. We normally have better tires on them, and they do alot better then this.

[ROBERVALBARRIO]

After the unfortunate lose an arm or a leg do not know why. idiot

[tommartyn]

@ROBERVALBARRIO

Break his neck, maybe.  Lose and arm or leg, pretty much impossible. That is an idiotic thing to say.

[1darron1]

Really cool video

[craicrazy]

i have a old MTD hydrostatic that we are going to use as a bush basher

[tommartyn]

@craicrazy

hahah, nice man :) should be alot of fun

[craicrazy]

@tommartyn Yeah it should be but we dont have a property like your but i guess we can make a track on our seven acres.

[tommartyn]

@craicrazy

For sure man, We've only got 11 acres, most of that is the field. maybe 1-3 back in the woods.

[joe23ba]

@tommartyn wud a brand new jd 748x awd steer 4x4 be really good at this or to heavy?

[mollysangelique]

the,men,with,the,child,in,his,­eyes,and,hands,iets,anders

[100884sr]

its always interesting to see what people do with their free time! whats with the uni did you just get off the clock? what do you do for a living?

[diabloseryi]

bravo ma ..esti bun ;)

[qsic38]

haha you guys have to be from central PA. my friends and i have also done this

[tommartyn]

@qsic38

Hahah, thanks man, but i think people do this all over the world when they get the chance :) See any of our better videos?

[mikmak88]

desk

[tommartyn]

@mikmak88

milkshake

[bhqz]

Like the movie Deliverance, but with lawn mowers.......

[tommartyn]

@bhqz

Oh yeah! Except for the fact that it isn't at all...

[7172971729]

dude your shits week .....take the governer and link it up ....give ya a bunch more nut

[tommartyn]

@7172971729

hahah, the engine is from 1964, Its an 8.25hp engine, the whole tractor weights 600 pounds, then has drew on it, And the driveshaft and clutch were spinning on the ground, like a giant drum brake, because the tires dug down so deep.

It was reving higher then stock as it was, and about a week later, the rod went... probably from stress from this day. And from being 40 years old :)

[urbanredman65]

they should make lawn tractors with 4 wheel drive and with like 100 hp then you can also put big tires on em. Ill make one and give it to this guy. lol

[tommartyn]

@urbanredman65

Hahah, i'm sure drew Would appriciate that :) 100HP would be insane on something that big. Especially since this thing is only pushing out 8.25hp, and thats brand new back in 1964.

[TheGoogoofreak]

Get a quad bike......

[tommartyn]

@TheGoogoofreak

The whole point is that its more difficult to try it on this, then a quad. We are trying to have fun, and face chalanges, not do things super easy.

[MrTELLIETUBBIE]

biggest redneck ive ever seen

[tommartyn]

@MrTELLIETUBBIE

Well, I've got to say thats one of the most average un-impressive insulting comments i've gotten on this video.

[MrTELLIETUBBIE]

@tommartyn aint saying nothin bad i would definately do that too

[tommartyn]

@MrTELLIETUBBIE

haha, Gotcha man. Sorry about that.

[savagenomore]

@MrTELLIETUBBIE ain't nothing wrong with being a Redneck....

[logsandtimber]

This has to be one of the more ignorant videos I've watched on here. It's a miracle you knew how to get it onto youtube.

[tommartyn]

@logsandtimber

Just thought you might want to know the actual meaning of what you said, You said that the video is Ignorant, that means the the actual video it self, not the person in it, or the person who filmed it is, "Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated."

Sorry sir, videos aren't sentient. Those are attributes a video simply cannot posses.

But it is fulfilling that when you insult us, you use language improperly. Truly ironic.

[bytmeh]

@tommartyn my god you are such a fucktard

[tommartyn]

@bytmeh

Sorry man, But you might want to look at yourself, instead.

Checked out your 'video'. What the fuck man? seriously? Its pretty much all sun flashing in the camera blinding it, and you don't even see whats driving, its all just slow moving electric motor sound? What the fuck? Why upload that?

[bytmeh]

@tommartyn haha thanks for watching it was for another purpose, anyways it would still be better than your piece of shit offroad lol

[tommartyn]

@bytmeh

:) right... It sounds like a golf cart. That thing would bottom out right away, and just spin those tires. If it even has enought torque for that. This is not the place for a golf cart man.

[bytmeh]

@tommartyn haha watever man, u just keep trying to try hard okay?? You seem to do a good job of that. Oh yeah, and funny how my $8 keyring camera is still better than your redneck whitetrash piece of shit haha just like your gay tractor. Eat a dick u loser what is that a potato u record on?? nice..

[91CTD]

@bytmeh Hahahahah his camera from 6 years ago you fucker.check out his newer videos they look awesome and high quality.you're stupid

[fusilier45]

@bytmeh-What is the potato he records on?Get some new material,bellend.

[bytmeh]

@fusilier45 it's my material cocksmoker, geez you homos really stick together lol

[fusilier45]

@bytmeh-Yeah there we go again same shit,your poor spunk drunk mind cant come up with anything new to put,you even laugh at what you write.What a shaft!

[dzemil964]

¸you stopid and crazy

[tommartyn]

@dzemil964

maybe, but i didn't just spend a few minutes watching a video i don't even like.

[Sladur4e901]

:D:DD:

[Joshua123241]

nice video

[dr00pydog68]

halarious! so fun! difinatly need to ditch the turf treads

[ubberrubber]

didnt watch it all sure he got his chevette out and pulled it out though

[tommartyn]

@ubberrubber

:) thats pretty funny man. If i had a chevette, i might try :) He actually made it out on his own near the end. But i have taken my 65 dodge dart through the woods a few times, and even pulled some stuff out with it.

[rafbr19]

awesome video bro,i really liked it

[tommartyn]

@rafbr19

Hey, thanks alot man.  :) Fun stuff messing around on some tractors.

[tommartyn]

@couvidan

Glad you removed that comment man... I was really going to tell you off.

Needless to say, These are my own personal trails, We don't ride on any other trails anywhere, so we are'nt messing up other peoples trails. And Its my friend drew, Who was trying to see if it would make it out. Which it DID. So... Right.

[MrTactyler]

umm maximus14433 if you dont like the video dont comment stupid things

[crypto0000000000]

I found this quite entertaining. Can't compare to the shit coming from the TV.

[tommartyn]

@crypto0000000000

Thanks man. If you want, check out some of our other, newer vids. I would say, this is probably one of my least entertaining vids. I like it, but we've got much better stuff. :)

[unclebuck6291]

Put some chains on that and you will really go through the mud !!

[tommartyn]

@unclebuck6291

I actually put the worst tires i had on it, to see what it could do. Kinda like testing it. We have tons of sets of AG tires, and agressive ATV tires we normally use. Tire chains are too dangerous for what we do. Rolling them over all the time, they keep running for a bit before they stall, and since all these bolens are usually locked posi, some one could get serious ripped to shreds.

[r15fan25]

throw a set of chains on there and you will be amazed what you can go through, that's what id did on my Craftsman

[tommartyn]

@r15fan25

yeah, we were kinda doing the opposite here. I actually put the worst tires i had on it, to see what it could do. Kinda like testing it. We have tons of sets of AG tires, and agressive ATV tires we normally use. Tire chains are too dangerous for what we do. Rolling them over all the time, they keep running for a bit before they stall, and since all these bolens are usually locked posi, some one could get serious ripped to shreds.

[maximus14433]

i must admit, you dudes look like you're having fun, kudos to that! it's kinda funny yet ghetto.

[tommartyn]

@maximus14433

hahah, thanks man. It's more fun then it looks :)

[maximus14433]

get a dirtbike poor people

[tommartyn]

@maximus14433

How are we supposed to get a dirt bike, if we are "poor people"?

And where is your punctuation, capitalization, and general sentence structure?

That's some pretty sloppy typing there pal.

[maximus14433]

@tommartyn i assume you rednecks could just built one somehow hahaha.. why are you too retarded to understand what i'm saying?

I apologize for not using capitals and such earlier Mrs. Garrison. I hope you can now grade me and pass me. :)

[NitroRCtrucks]

you guys trully injoy life

[tommartyn]

@NitroRCtrucks

We try man, thanks :)

[jonnyasprin]

Coolness.

[tommartyn]

@jonnyasprin

Glad you liked it man! :)

[MARV361theSTAR]

redneck rally lol, no offense

[tommartyn]

@MARV361theSTAR

A rally of one. 

I don't know man, its pretty hard not to be offended, when people call you a redneck. Actually, i don't see any way to not be offended.

[busterhound333333]

That's rough stuff for a lawnmower ..lol..Thanks for sharing.

[tommartyn]

@busterhound333333

hey man, thanks :)

[ROMAN777770]

Что за ебата,крылья не вариант поставить,все ноги и жопу уже позасирал.

[THEMEGAFORD]

dont waste ur time watchin he gets out a 4:23

[THEMEGAFORD]

dont waste ur time watchin he gets out a 4:23 

[TheFreakyfixed87]

so i really did not think he was gonna make it out of that ruttt.... wow! hahah

[tommartyn]

@TheFreakyfixed87

haha, yeah man. You and me both. I almost stopped filming, but normally, drew knows whats going down with a situation, so since he kept at it, i kept filming. Knew he was on to something. :)

[codebomb7]

Thats like totaly proving stereotypes about rednecks

[tommartyn]

@codebomb7

No its not actually. Mainly because we aren't "rednecks". Or "hillbillys", "whitetrash" or any other retarded, mindless stereotype that people spit out because they're too lazy to spend a second actualy observing something and trying to see things for what they are.

We are just 2 guys, who are having some fun with an old garden tractor. It doesn't need to be put in a box to be looked down on.

Not everything in life needs to be reduced to stereotypes. Freedom of thought exists.

[tommartyn]

@chitown50cal

yeah, tire chains could really mess you up if you rolled it and landed on the tire...

But we have a lot of sets of awesome tires on these things. Lots of ATV tires, and AG tires.

[jaimots]

Plus marrant tu meurs. Ah ah ah

[lickmybike]

New class for the X-Games. Extreme tractoring. Can you do a back flip on it yet :)

[tommartyn]

@lickmybike

haha, my friend adam kinda did a back flip roll off of the back seat of one in the creek one time. I'll send you a video if i can find it.

[212ole]

krank dat würd ich mit meinen treckern nich machen :)

[TeamHKSR33]

omg i rofl'd mt pants hard

[grosteph58]

@tommaryn. This vid made me laugh evry time i watch it cuz ya beating the gravity laws .Love how ya throw down the fuckin haters ,only in jokin on their comments : Cool way to do it .Tired to read crappy haters comment as " inbred redneks"or other shit like like that .Cool vids keep them comming.

[tommartyn]

@grosteph58

hahah :) Thanks man. Yeah, i try to have fun with it :)

Do you know Steve, that this is my highest viewed video? :) Its probably my least interesting video, and it gets

1/4 of all my daily views. Out of just over 8,000 total daily views my videos get, this gets 2000 views a day! :) Its freaking crazy man. None of my other videos come close, most get about 10 views a day, if that, some a few hundred. But 2000 views a day man... Crazy :)

[grosteph58]

@rtodd05 Go back to school an learn to write ! inbred needs only one "e" .Thats ya yer an inbred cuz ya watched a vid that ya disliked ...Go back playing the fuckin vidgame and don't blame rednecks ...ya are just jealous .Comment thrown by a true redneck !!![

[mrraser99]

what about the other lawn mower

[tommartyn]

@mrraser99

eh, that thing didn't quite make it. it had similar crappy tires on it, but the engine was seriously underpowered for the hydrostatic transmission. The engine was really tired too, smoked alot, and had pretty much no power. So it couldn't spin the tires enough to get out. Pulled it out with my truck eventually though, and put an 18 HP twin cyl briggs on it.

[mrraser99]

@tommartyn ah

[tommartyn]

@mrraser99

Want to see a much better, higher quality, more entertaining video, with the other tractor after i put the 18HP engine on it, and some good tires? :)

[blindskater200]

With how you're moving around on that thing and how well you handled it, I'm willing to bet money that you can ride the shit out of a 4 wheeler.

[blindskater200]

Around my dads shop, we use the lawn mower to pull in customers vehicles. Most people have no clue what you can do with a mower.

[tommartyn]

@blindskater200

Its true man, tractors can do a lot more then you'd expect. And this is actually our worst video. We put on the worst tires we had to see if it could still make it through some stuff, and it did better then i expected. But yeah, we have alot of videos of what these awesome 1960's Garden Tractor Beasts can actually do with some decent tires on them.

And yeah man, Drew can handle most any vehicle really well. he's comfortable on anything.

[biggunlimited]

Lame

[TheSupersample]

turf tires lmao

[tommartyn]

@TheSupersample

:) yeah, almost like having slicks.

[TheSupersample]

@tommartyn get some aggressive tires on it and it will go through tons of stuff i bet. we cant even really pull anything with our mower because of the turf tires they just spin

[Viper989]

Its more fun than you guys think, my uncle gave me his old Bolen's lawn tractor when I was in highschool and I fixed it up and repainted it all for like $100. That thing was so fun to mess around with in the mud or snow. Lock the rear axle and throw some chains on the back and it would go through anything. Fun times

[tommartyn]

@Viper989

haha, :) thats awesome man. Have you seen any of our other bolens videos? This is pretty much the worst one. We've got good tires on alot of them.

[bratstarr]

82 nd times a charm

[Marksmanbbs]

This shit is fun no matter how old you are,Im 51 and will still have a BLAST Playing in the mud like a little 8 year old,any man who says its childish or anything on the negetive side is a man who has never got to enjoy fun growing up,yes its not somthing i would do on a daily basis but yea put a couple buddies and a couple beers with a couple tractors and throw out your suit and tie and your going to see a few man with a huge smile on their face,how many man refuse the bumper cars at the fair?

[tommartyn]

@Marksmanbbs

hahah :) thanks man.  And damn right :)

[Bulldogbabe852]

the only thing more redneck than this is swimming in a through lol :D

[forrest225]

Cut off some of those lugs on the tires and you will be in business :)

[KawiBruteforce10]

Needs some super swampers;) haha jk great video

[BrandonLeeHeryford]

hahaha XD my golf cart would take that like NOTHING! lmfao...then again, its 4-wheel drive and has an R1 1100 motor in it ;)

[dborrelli74]

No no no! I said you should be MOWIN'! Not MUDDIN'! JK! Fun video. Sure beats paying for a fancy 4x4 that offers no challenge and eats a ton of gas!

[tommartyn]

@dborrelli74

haha, thanks man :)

Yeah, compared to a big full sized truck its good on gas, but compared to a 4 wheeler or something, these things guzzle the gas. They're just these 1960's Wisconsin engines that have pretty big carbs on them. They don't make all that much power, but man they can use some gas :)

Its lots of fun though man. for sure :)

[9b8]

Nice drinking water.

[tommartyn]

@9b8

Kind of a stagnant time of year to be drinking the creek water. I wouldn't recommend it.

[9b8]

@tommartyn LOL! I'm just having fun. But on a serious note, some folks do some crazy and ignorant shit, apparently having no concept of te LONG term effects. And wonder why 20 years from now, they contracted cancer, or why their cattle suddenly have unexplanable diseases. Can go on and on. But, I'm not tree hugger type either. I've had my ass in the mud too, spilling oil ... bulldozers, escavators, drag lines, you name it. Just kinda food for thought though.

[Sunfadedlovejaded]

That is not exactly the Mississippi, He could have easily jumped across it.

My ATV would grace it like a puddle. That guy is also a grown man and he got nothing better to do?

[tommartyn]

@Sunfadedlovejaded

anyone say it was the mississippi?

I'm not saying you have to like the video, out of over 600, its probably the worst one i have. but the whole point of the video, is that it is difficult to get through that. It would be a waste of time, and boring as shit to just breeze over it in an atv. Its alot more fun when you actually have to try. Thats kind of the whole point. If there's no effort, why do it?

Humm, a grown man at age 15 or 16 huh? Alight.

[ManiacKillaClown]

@Sunfadedlovejaded Like he said the whole point is to try not to fly dickweed

[drdirt1965]

those old garden tractors like that are the best, they just dont make em like that any more. tip: a good cheap way to get awsome traction is to use tire chains, they turn turf savers into turf shredders. keep up the fun

[tommartyn]

@drdirt1965

:) thanks man

[orangepop1234]

I would take the govenor out of that thing... my buddy had a 6.5hp and took the govenor out and you would be amazed what some extra rpms can get you out of hahaha good vid!!!

[tommartyn]

@orangepop1234

:) yeah, its one thing to blow up a briggs, or tecumseh engine, (if its a honda engine it won't blow) but a wisconsin engine, i don't really want to be reving them that high. Governors really help out alot when you're romping, because they try to keep the rpm's up. So if you go up a hill, or into mud, it automatically gives it gas to keep the engine speed. Pretty usefull

[cobra96svt570]

Theres a big diff' between lawn mowers and garden tractors. Lawn mowers are what you buy at walmart, home depot. A garden tractor has a solid steel frame, Heavy duty trans, And can add any type of attachment.

[tommartyn]

@cobra96svt570

Damn right man

[cobra96svt570]

Instead of my first ATV/QUAD or Dirtbike, My dad got me a garden tractor. And this is exactly what i use to do. They get stuck fairly easy. Id end up walking back to the house to get my dad,. He'd be bitchin and moanin the hole time about me burrying my tractor in the mudd. "WTF you go down there for, It aint a tank" LMAO

[tommartyn]

@cobra96svt570

hahah :) thats awesome man :) should have put some vicious tires on the thing, then you'd probably not get stuck as much :) 

[MrMooseheadbeer]

whats with the lame sideways camera angles..

[tommartyn]

@MrMooseheadbeer

I guess i thought they were cool at the time.

[MrMooseheadbeer]

@tommartyn Humm, yea huffing gas does that i guess

[tommartyn]

@MrMooseheadbeer

Ah, right, Maybe that is it. I thought it was just from shooting a load in my own eye. Fuck, who would have known it was actually just from me huffing all that gas, that i always huff...

By the way, Thanks for just coming out and showing you're a total asshole. Your first comment didn't really go into that enough.

[MrMooseheadbeer]

@tommartyn No problem.. just doing my part to make youtube a better place for everyone

gl with your endeavours

[Sunfadedlovejaded]

Give that man an ATV

[tommartyn]

@Sunfadedlovejaded

So that its super easy? whats the fun in that?

[r4zom]

lol put mud tires on it instead of turf tamers

[tommartyn]

@r4zom

:) hey man, we put them on as a joke, to see if it could make it through. Check out our other tractor videos, we have some really kick ass tires normally.

[charlesandjulien]

@hihi9764 Media includes movies, Pop culture, Video Games, basically the modern world. What im trying to get at is people who dislike the video are probably saying "ummm this does not involve brad pitt, or why isnt there an explosion.....dislike". Or branding the guy as a redneck like come on thats low.

[DiogenesMULLER]

mais é uma anta!

[1985integra]

Retarded!

[tommartyn]

@1985integra

yeah, it is true, you might be. Otherwise why would you have watched a 6 minute video that you don't even like.

[NRGearz]

Why in Hell, would you do that to an older GT? Restore that and use a freaking Yard Machine or something, those deserve to be RESTORED!

[tommartyn]

@NRGearz

what the hell are you talking about GT?????

anyone who calls a 1964 Bolens Husky 900, a "GT" dosent deserve to have older tractors. A riding mower wouldn't be able to do shit, thats why we use garden tractors.

[NRGearz]

@tommartyn Umm, a Bolens 900 is in fact a Garden Tractor... I work with GTs (Garden Tractors) all the time...

[tommartyn]

@NRGearz

hahah :) Seriously, shorting 'garden tractors' to GT? ...alright man :) Never heard that one before. I have a few cars that are GT's, and it doesn't stand for garden tractor, so i think you can understand the confusion here.

I have a 1976 Toyota Celica GT, a 1965 Dodge Dart GT, and a 1974 MG B-GT.

And again, A riding mower, or RM, :) can't hold up to this kind of stuff, thats why we use tractors, or T's.

And i work with tractors all the time too, i have about 40.

[Darklordkime]

Fresh mud, and the wheel horse is runnin good i know what im thinking

[tommartyn]

@Darklordkime

haha, awesome :)

[charlesandjulien]

People who insult this video are probably people who are affected by the media way to much and expect something alot more entertaining or action filled. They judge someones past times based on their own and would prefer to stay in their rooms playing video games.To be honest if i owned a old tractor like this and happened to have a large swampy field or creek i would do exactly the same thing because this just looks like the most fun thing to do. Great video.

[tommartyn]

@charlesandjulien

haha, awesome man. Thanks for the support. :)

[slim251985]

@charlesandjulien im not going to lie my first thought straight up redneck but it does look fun lol

[33ProSport]

@charlesandjulien i wish everybody would read this. truer words have never been spoken

[charlesandjulien]

@33ProSport Thank you buddy :)

[tucksbestproduction]

[THE666NAZI]

this guy is a drunk fucking idiot!!! he shouldnt even be driving anything or even walking...

[scnatureboy69]

keith stone says atvs are for pussys!!!!!!!!

[wantapgt]

Once you start watching, you gotta stay with it till the end to see if the tractor can make it out. The last few tries before the successful run, I found myself really egging it on because it was getting soooo close. Hahaha
