The Real Reason They Took Our Tractor

“They took my tractor” = sent off for repair

"we sent it off for a full service", now for anyone who just expected the answer: there you go. For everyone actually interested in W's new workshop/garage, you're going to watch the whole video anyway.

"I lost my firearms in a tragic boating accident" (in the middle of my little pond).

The way Sweetloaf waited at the door because she knew you don't go in the shop without shoes was cute but also shows how well she listens.

Evidently, I must have sneezed during the video, because I missed the real reason they took your tractor.

Next on Wranglestar: "why my wife really left me"...Actual reason, she went to the store. The clickiest bait that ever clicked a bait.

I know this is an old video, but I figured I'd say something about the sponsor, Bespoke Post. I had their boxes from Oct. '20- April '21. First off, the quality of the stuff I got, wasn't by any means, bad. I also liked that I could text with Customer Service, and they were fairly quick and to the point, the few times I did deal with them... However, it always felt lacking. My first big disappointment was with the Barebones hatchet I added to a box. $60 for a hatchet, that honestly has a hard time putting up with just menial yard work, in a suburban home, and a head that seemingly never wants to stay snug, and a handle that is just too thin. Was it a bad item? Not really. Did it feel like it was worth $60? Not really. Which is kind of how I felt about the boxes I received, in general. Everything felt 'meh'. I never received any box as nice as seen in this video, cause obviously, I wasn't sponsored, but this kind of gives a false perception of what you get in a single box. Point is, Bespoke isn't bad, but I kind of felt like I was shopping in a hipster store; stuff that looks cool, but is overpriced and meh in quality.

The OCD side of me was pleased to see how neatly every last can of fuel fit on that bottom shelf.

Okay so Cody is the reason that Wavian is always out of stock with their jerry cans lmao

I'm so glad to see how far you have come in 15 years, I remember the first videos, you were new to camera work, and just getting into things. now look where you are! its amazing!

14:45 She didn't want to give Cody a hug because she would have had walk in the shop and she knew that meant she might get slivers What a smart cookie!

Aww the little one is so precious! Mine is almost 10 and it amazes me when I stop to think for a second of how time truly fly's by. God Bless you and your family thanks for sharing with us!

It's been awhile since I've seen the family, jack looks like he's growing up to be a fine young man and the little loaf isn't so little anymore, glad to see y'all are doing good

I wouldn't want to get stuck behind you at Costco filling up those 20 jerry cans...

Cody, I'm far from being a safety Sally but it's not a good idea to store all of that fuel inside your shop. I would check with your insurance provider to see if you would even be covered in the event of a fire. Same goes for your outside diesel and gas storage. I would set up a fueling area safe distance from your building. Look at getting one of those 8×8 shipping containers and place it a safe distance from your fueling station and keep your 5 gallon cans in it. That way you have 2 different locations for emergency fuel and in case of an accidental fire you won't loose all of it or any of your buildings and equipment

I mark the ends of all my boxes/ drawers with what they contain. That way I don't waste time looking. Feels good when you've organised your shed or garage.

My farmall tractor from 1949 was originally set up to run on kerosene in a gas motor, it had a small tank on the side for gasoline and yup would start it on gas and flip over to kerosene when the motor was really warm

I'm strongly considering buying some land that has a pond on it; thanks for the tip about the Pelican cases. Boating accident indeed.

Hey Cody, really appreciate your videos! Through them, we get to see your work ethic, love for your family and friends. I can only speak for myslef, but I find myself thankful and encouraged to step up to the plate to work and love better. Many blessings in Christ, Cody!

Matador re ties $10.99 Klymit v seat $13.56 SOG fixed blade $34.95 BbB mini hunter $55.00 More importantly, what's the 3rd box worth?

Soo, really WHY did they take your damned tractor? Scam again.

and on your diesel, you have soy diesel vs straight diesel, there is a big difference for storage between the two. Soy Diesel will rust a steel tank, etc

This might be a stupid question, but why have you loaded the fuel with the handles towards the wall, I would've thought you'd want those accessable, not the spout?

How many US Postal Service bins will fit on that rack? Asking for a friend.

I remember staying on a farm in Australia that had a coal-fired stove to heat things up, and a kerosene fridge to cool 'em back down. Fun times.

Just like how kerosene is kind of like a really refined diesel, jet fuel is like a refined kerosene. Next time you're at a big airport and you catch the smell of jet exhaust you'll realize how similar it really is.

Wow, kerosene is expensive over there! We pay about $4 a gallon in Tokyo, it is still used a lot for heat here. I use a similar (not as nice) as the storage containers for tools etc that travel to job sites. One thing that I do is take a can of spray paint and spray some color on the box and the lid. If you label the lids then they get mixed up onto the wrong box it's a problem. The added benefit is I can say to someone "Grabe the box with the red paint on it" or "Grab the box with the blue and green stripes" this really helps. Cheers!

For people at home I can't stress the importance of safe water storage.

I need someone like jack in my life.. makes breakfast for me and puts it at my desk, and mows the yard 😂

Y’a know, fuel storage is best outside, or in a cold storage shed.

I adore how you can do all this jobs at the homesteading and film all of it and still teach us the things you know because i know how it is to work at the homesteading and its not easy task its just amazing how you make these videos

One day I will have a fork lift, but the pallet forks on my tractor make a huge difference!!

9:45 Sets down one knife to pick up another to cut open the plastic bag. It's as if he didn't realize he could use the new knife for cutting plastic.

I am glad I found your channel recently. Your forward thinking and use of decentralized approaches to your homestead resources are essential. I am going to cherry pick your ideas when I get my off grid secluded homestead setup. Thanks!

I’ve been a long time customer at Bespoke Post. Very happy to see them sponsoring this channel 👏 They’ve always had very good customer service, so I would personally recommend shopping with them if they have something you’re looking for.

Been watching for 7 minutes and still nothing about why they took your tractor...

Wont the gas go bad just sitting in those containers?

Another great video! Thank you for sharing your adventures with your family! Was feeling nostalgic the other day and went back to look at some of your first videos, alot of them seemed to no longer be there. Nice view of the mountain! Thanks again for sharing!

Idk if you can still find a forklift for under 1000$, let alone a functional one

Klymit makes some great stuff! Use their packs, sleeping bag, pillows.

Consider anchoring the wall rack to the structure to survive an earthquake triggered topple over.

I'm loving these longer videos! You're giving me all sorts of ideas for when it comes time to put together my garage and pole barn!

The 5S method. Sort. Straighten (set in order). Shine. Standardize. Sustain. Nice organization!

The sweet loaf has the most beautiful hair!! What a delightful child!!!

When you were touting the virtues of the forklift, you forgot to mention the nifty horn for the Sweetloaf to honk!

Nice sponsor with all the useful items! Nothing like getting organized in your shop and I know how good you feel when it’s all done. God’s blessings to you and your beautiful family Wranglerstar 👍

You may legally need tank containment trays under those gas tanks? People I know were required to have them.

You know I never thought about it before, but now I’ve got to have a forklift. You were talking about it and I just saw it! I could’ve use the forklift so many times in my life! Oh, my wife’s gonna be so mad.

$90 a piece for a 5 gallon can. I’m starting to agree with my wife who won’t let me watch wranglerstar anymore because every time I do I have to spend an extra thousand dollars.

I've scheduled today for organizing our winter food supplies, so this was exactly the motivational kick I needed to start the day! I just love an orderly, tidy storage system!

I love the lantern tip. I've used a version of that with a gallon plastic milk jug as an anchor lantern on my sailboat. I could always discern my vessel from others in a crowded anchorage. The textured plastic on the milk jug worked well to bounce the light around and illuminate. Same concept as the Lucie Light, but the milk jug works really well for that. I was using a strip of 12 volt led's dropped inside the jug.

You have a beautiful family and a wonderfull home. Looks like you've made a nice life for yourself. I truly enjoy watching your content. Keep it up.

Here in Ireland, kerosene is used as “home heating oil”, its marked with a red dye and is by fair the cheapest fuel

No brakes or backup alarm around children for shame

I just rented a Yanmar from HD. I have 3/4 acre dug multiple beds for herbs and decortive. Spread 32 yds of garden mix soil and 8 yds of crushed granite around my shed. I love it and am looking to buy a used one then get forks for the bucket

I would place a static discharge system on your metal shelves for your fuel containers. One starts leaking and you get a discharge from it being dry and wearing wool clothes, you could lose everything. Stay safe!

Morning Mr W.... sending love and good wishes from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

It was absolutely breathtaking when Sweetloaf and your wife appeared in the bright light of your shop doorway, looking like angels. The love was practically tangible. Great video, keep it up. (a watcher from Presque Isle, Maine. about as far north as you can get on the east coast.)

I have been getting Bespoke Post boxes for a few years now and everything that I have gotten has been awesome! Last month I got the meat clever which came with a waxed edge, and this month was lined leather slippers! Blessings to the Wranglerstar family from Michigan

Duel fuel: tractors commonly ran that way in the depression. You can tell when a tractor is doing this in old photos. There’s usually a 1 gallon tank mounted in front of the radiator.

You could do a tv show where you organize the messy garages of dads across America

Your constant homestead developments are inspiring! Your wonderful family cameos are a great bonus too!

Here in SK, you need a Ag. Leger to even buy Dyed diesel...and if you're caught with it in your non-Farm equipment...better of brought your check book

Cody - put racks over the compressors too! Anywhere you can/ want.

Storing all that fuel in a room a with a large air compressor is incredibly dangerous. They specifically warn about this on compressor licensing tests.

set the racks sideways so you can use both sides

The side handles on the jerry can can be also used to carry two cans in one hand side by side so you don't have to do this 17:21 like with normal cans

When storing small gas motors, the best practice by far, is to turn the fuel off at the tank and allow the carburetor to run dry.

Sarcasm warning. Loved the 6:12 'stenciled, that way our wives don't accidentally put the wrong fuel in the wrong equipment'. Reminded me that had Moses listened to his wife Zipporah, they wouldn't have wandered forty years, but would have taken the right exit the first time (big smile)

I enjoy these organization and "thought process" videos because most guys can relate. Why not load the 100 gal fuel containers in the bed with the yanmar and head into town to fuel up? Seems like extra work to lug all the jerry cans around just to dump them in the tote.

I used the two foot racks and the bottom shelf is workbenches. I put 1 overhead and crossed them with 2x4 and plywood 2' deep shelves accross.

I don’t know if you thought of this, but I had a friend with a forklift without brakes and I was designing him an external cam brake that used the tire for resistance. Similar to some cheap go carts for perspective. Via con dios

I have a Bespoke Post subscription but have never seen a box anything like that!

The steel jerrycans are great. But we hade problems with them on work. They rusted inside and the rust flakes got inside the diseltank of our machines and clogged up the diselfilter. So we only use platic now

I just bought a 55 gal. Drum of Kerosene for under $300 for the same reasons, oil lamps and such. I know a lot of places are outrageous on kerosene, but wow.

The reason those cans have three handles is so you can easily carry two in one hand. 17:22 is what you get without it

I can't believe how big Jack has gotten. I just realized that I've been subscribed since almost the beginning.

I ordered one of those knives you talked about way back when. The ones made in New Zealand. Suck a great knife. Made a holster for mine because of the size ( mine is smaller one). I've love watching your videos over the yrs. Watching your son grow into a young man and your daughter growing up. God Bless you all.

Very nice transformation between old footage and new cody looks amazing @WranglerStar

Your daughter is so precious, she made my day!

A forklift with no breaks. What could go wrong...

Spot on about the forklift and sturdy shelving. It is tempting to build wood shelves but you just can't beat the capacity of pallet racking for its size. Great video.

Fork Lift Tip! We use our forklift for maybe 5 minutes once a week, but when we need it, we really need it. Our maintenance company found our oil was always milky (water logged) and recommended when we start it, we let it warm all the way up to combat the condensation that builds inside a cold motor. Ever since we started letting it run for at least 10 mins after we use it, we have not had an issue.

I’m pretty sure its illegal in Australia to store that much fuel in one place. I’m only allowed to have 20 litres of thinners at one time.... wtf

Coming together nicely. Much better air compressor spot.

Wranglerstar has been a go-to watch since a year after he started, I’ve been watching your videos every upload since and it really makes me want to start a homestead, it’s peaceful, it gets you in the hard work ethic swing of things to maintain your area and you can produce your own perishable goods

Usually I skip through ads but your Bespoke ad was genuinely interesting

Curious as to why are you given to putting up sensational headlines making you appear to be an oppressed victim, and then lead us through a video of you engaged in your housekeeping?

I’m just sitting here in the burbs trying to think of how I can convince my wife why I need 75 gallons of non ethanol gas stockpiled in our 2 car garage

Cody, (or anyone who knows)can the action packers be locked and tied down using cable locks like in the back of a truck? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Hey Cody, we recently had a fire in our home and it forced us to take a hard look at our collection. I'm sure you went through something similar when you moved. living in a hotel for 4 months with our kiddos (4 of them), we have had a big lesson in how little a person can get by with. I would love to support your sponsor but I'm afraid of what our closets and drawers would look like after a year or so of those monthly packages LOL. God bless you and your beautiful family. Congrats on the new homestead.

Just when I think you’re getting to fancy. “ this one dosent have brakes but that dosent matter “

I don't think I would keep my emergency generator on a shelf if you needed it would would have to fire up the forklift and get it down. My theory something like that should be able to get into action by the wife with little trouble.

I did the Fuel switch with Fuel Oil for heaters in lawn mowers during the 70 oil embargo. It works well just a little smoky.

You've motivated me to do a better job with storage in my garage. I don't have an out building, so proper storage is even more important.

The world isn't going to end but your afraid of something for sure .

Does anyone else find these videos relaxing but fun to watch at the same time

German here. The trick with the Jerry cans is that you can take two empty cans and grab them with one hand simmilar to how you grabbed the water cans. Never saw it used for two soldiers but sounds good if you store water for marches.

I got some slightly bent 16' tall 4' wide pallet racking from work two years ago before i built my shop. I cut the middle cross ties and welded it so it was 28" (if i remember correctly) wide. I painted them all black too. Can't beat pallet racking.
