100 Pumpkins vs Snowblower

ventrac.com/snow :: What happens when 100 pumpkins go through a snowblower? We wanted to find out too. We took our Ventrac 4500 with a KX523 snowblower and put it to the test. We launched chunks of pumpkins over 40 feet.
UPDATE: Check out our newest video to see what happens when a giant pumpkin meets Ventrac. • Giant Pumpkin vs Tractor
Warning - This video was made with professional operators under the supervision of professionals. Accordingly, Ventrac insists that no one attempts to recreate or re-enact the activity preformed in this video.
Note - Thank you for all the enthusiastic comments. For those of you concerned about this being a waste of ‘food’, these were carving pumpkins, and not food grade. That said, we at Ventrac are deeply concerned about global food production and hunger related issues. Ventrac makes significant annual contributions to organizations that are committed to helping feed those in need, both in the USA and abroad.

[@theswede1625]

To the ignorant people here that don't know the difference. These were common, orange farm pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. They were not yellow pie pumpkins used to feed people. There was no wasting here, they would have soon rotted out anyway.

We use one one of these tractors at work for steep hills,(8 wheeler) only have the mower and snow blade attachments, but this tractor is a beast and is very impressive at what it can do

[@robertbernhardt9228]

I would imagine with all that pumpkin seed now distributed, could have a good sized pumpkin crop next year.

[@RockandMetal645]

Fake. My dad was a Professional Pumpkin Hunter and I used to go on trips with him. Wild Pumpkins NEVER stay in line as displayed in this video. These Pumpkins are obviously domesticated and trained to stay in line.

[@icelandtraveladventure]

I know your pain. I used to go with my dad too, hunting pumpkins. They are not that easy to hunt and kill. You need special skills.

[@Macsization]

The legend says one wild pumpkin can easily take down grown ass man. I am not sure what kind of pumpkins were slaughtered in this video but definitely something is not right

[@RockandMetal645]

The worst part is that these creatures are trained to stay and be slaughtered.

[@icelandtraveladventure]

You have to be ready to shoot instantly when you see them in the wilderness, if you hesitate it can kill you in seconds before they rape you. My grandfather told my dad, and dad told me this. We are all pumpkin hunters.

I'm pretty sure my snow blower would have blown through the sheer pins and smoked the belt, then bent off the bracket, went under the tractor causing an over turn and ended in a mushroom cloud explosion...

[@mikestoffers1707]

Came across this video while looking at reviews trying to decide what snow blower to buy. Thank you for the helpful video.

Can I make purée with the snowblower or do I need the mower deck?

I have never intentionally clicked on an advertised video until now. Well done.

I once smashed a pumpkin on the dirt and the next year had a vine, I could only imagine what 100 pumpkins thrown into a fertile farm field will produce, I hope the farmers don't mind.

[@AnMadreMor]

+ray low It turns the pumpkins into mulch which then composts and become fertilizer for the next years crop.The guy would probably do the same thing on the other side of the field to evenly disperse the mulch. I take my leaves and grass clippings out to my buddies buffalo ranch and we spread it on his fields and he plows it into the soil to help fertilize his next years hay crop to feed his buffaloes.When we're finished spreading and plowing we head up to his house for some really tasty bar-b-q buffalo burgers. Don't get any better than that.

[@wowsituations]

This is a refreshing advertisement, very good. The product's styling says "we don't care how it looks, it's a piece of industrial machinery." So if you guy's are trying to get a bigger foothold in the home consumer market, might want to work on that. I like the product, and this showcase. Although, I sadly, like most people, will probably never have need of a $5000 mower.

[@warhawkjah]

I wonder how many pumpkin plants they had growing in that field the following spring.

Now line up 100 death row inmates. Best video on KZbin.

[@ToxicDL]

Actually, pumpkins aren't the best for eating other than their seeds. The meat contains too much water and is difficult to make into flavorful, creamy pies like you normally see. Rather, the canned pumpkin in the stores, and the pumpkin pies you normally eat, are made out of a separate type of squash. Either way these were reject pumpkins, and the labor that would go into making them edible isn't really worth it. Finding someone to take them? Good luck. They're just going to rot anyways. Plus pumpkin smashing has been a thing for a long time. After Halloween there are even pumpkin smashing FESTIVALS. The debris from the leftover pumpkins is useful to re-seed and fertilize the ground, and wildlife enjoy eating pumpkin too!

[@StephenPShaw]

R.I.P. Halloween ...hello Winter.

[@seangallagher1947]

Well, you’ll have some pumpkins growing all over the place next summer. Which is cool, deer love pumpkin.

The snowblower would cease to operate. The motor (or turbine) would spin, but nothing else would happen.

Kind of ironic how today is the first time I saw this, and today is Halloween. RIP pumpkins

[@johnkraus8941]

I shot a video like this back in 1997 with one large pumpkin, 1 gallon of whole milk, a bag of flower, a bag of sugar, 1 dozen eggs and guy foolish enough to catch the output in a lab coat holding a large stainless steel bowel. If I ever find the VHS tape I'm going to post it.

I’ve been looking for a way to separate the guts from the seeds now I now a good way so thank you! Haha

[@PenDreamt]

I read snowblower vs 100 pumpkins. I live in Rhode Island. I have no idea wtf that maw of a beast is in front of your go-kart with roll bar fanging through those pumpkins in feral contempt.... but my idea of snowblower and your idea of snowblower is equivalent to placing a kitten beside a lion and saying, "Oh, look. Cats." Lmao

[@JimmyLLL]

Surely the best test would b in snow.....

[@thesacredcowtipper]

how about putting an attachment on the end of the snowblower that will extricate the stuff inside into a bag ready for pumpkin pie making? Now that would really impress me.

[@thesacredcowtipper]

***** What specific pumpkin is that? I was not aware of that. So Ventrac cheated and used soft rotted pumpkins?

[@09FordFX4]

thesacredcowtipper i dont see where he says they were soft rotted. If you watched the video, clearly you would see they are not soft, nor rotted.

[@NCXDesigns]

Thats not the right pumpkin for Pumpkin pie anyway, its the goose neck pumpkin you want for that. Both taste entirely different.

why not put your big mouth on it

weird it, 100 people could eat well today. I don't understand people which spoil food

[@Magim1001]

Dude seriously, if food waste bothers you so much, then how about doing something about it. Food is being wasted in so many ways by people who buy it and then leave to rot in the friegde till they have to throw it away. It seems to me you just like to hate on things

[@AssertiontoThrone]

Did you not read their descriptions? The pumpkins used were "rejects" (ie. moldy, damaged pumpkins that no one would buy). If no one's going to buy them anyway, instead of letting them rot away, why not have a little fun and crush them to bits? :D

[@Stanqqq]

AssertiontoThrone why can't they sell food cheaper ? anyone who wants to eat was able to buy.

[@AssertiontoThrone]

Some places don't do that, or may the pumpkins were rotten on the inside to the extent that either very few would buy them, or the market would too more money than profit and decide to let them have it instead. Good question though.

[@hellopellos]

***** itd be illegal

[@EricFB]

not sure this is what go pro had in mind when they were developing their cameras lol

[@dantetwa]

I have got to ask, this is obviously a great pumpkin blower, but what will it do to other stuff? Perhaps I wake one morning to find I cannot leave the house because of the mounds of marshmallows, or perhaps the plague of Nik-L-Nips has once again descended upon, and completely covered our fields? Would this machine be suitable in these situations?

Very nice video! I guess these pumpkins had no chance! Loved it!

[@thomasfetters6977]

this ladies and gentlemen is how you plant a new pumpkin patch

[@collinsmith583]

To all the peoples who say this is a waste of food your stupid First doing this plants the seeds of the old dead pumpkin and uses the rest of the pumpkin as fertilizer it's efficient and allows land fills to have more space ( I say dead pumpkin because it's cut from the stem and it's roots and can't grow any more) Second you can see that on the pumpkins there are some patches where mold has formed so you probably don't want to eat a rotting pumpkin. Third how do you know that he didn't take the surplus that a store was going to throw away he might have just replanted what was going to be thrown out . And finally if your soooo pissed off that you just saw pumpkins "go to waste" then stop scanning you tube for this stuff and donate your own money or time to the hungry people it would actually help people .

What is the incentive of doing this with food that you could have given to the poor. Is that how you thank God for giving you a farm of richness?

[@ventrac]

+Jamal Othman Hello Jamal, thanks for your concern. We share your concern for the poor, and as a company are involved in a major project to address food security. These were left over carving pumpkins that were not food grade, and would NOT likely have been accepted by local shelters for human consumption. The farmer was grateful for the extra fertilizer on his field.

It makes sense they used rotten pumpkin since they are softer and easier to break in the machine. But either way no food was lost, if it didn't fed a human it fed other animals and insects and was composted to make more food.

[@hedunlap]

Every year in my area this one farm has at least 100,000 (maybe double that) pumpkins left over after the people get done buying them for Halloween. About two weeks later when I drive by I see all of the pumpkins have been cut in half by machete and then are left for the crows to pick over and rot. They later get plowed under.
