A little snow, plus rain and warm temperatures equals heavy wet packing snow. I warm up the Kubota LX2610 compact tractor and the LX2980 front mount snowblower for a run up the driveway to plow out the snow. What started out as a relaxing drive out to the Concession Road quickly became an adventure. I hope you will join me for a little while, here at the cottage, in the outdoors. Cheers!

[@mikes2020]

Had the same kind of snow here in Northern Wisconsin. I swing the chute back and forth when coming to those bent over trees. It knocks the snow off and many of them spring right out of the way. Luckily, I didn't need a chain saw as the properties I clear are not mine.

I see a well placed scabbard on the Kubota and a small quantity of bar oil, fuel, scrench, and a file on board. Heck why stop there, bring a coffee pot and toaster oven. Awesome set up I did see clamp on scabbards somewhere on the internet. They go on the loader supports. Beautiful video thanks for posting. There are three kinds of people one complains how the weather is destroying the driveway, the second complains about how long it took someone to do all that work when the bill comes, and third what a great opportunity to spend some time outdoors enjoying the task at hand. I like your enthusiasm. On another note I put my dad's Kubota RTV to the test last weekend I'll try to get some video up. I was stunned at what it pulled. Probably 6 to 7k including the weight of the log trailer up hill. I wasn't even going to try it and thought I'll see how far it gets. It really didn't complain just walked right up the lawn onto the driveway and out. Amazing little piece of equipment. Happy New Year!

[@GPOutdoors]

Wow. that's pretty great Mark! Thanks - Happy New Years!

[@alliumlandscaping8356]

Using the snowblower too clear off the trees is something I never would of thought of lol great technique

[@ToreDL87]

It's just one of those things you learn, snowblower or frontloader (if you have a rear mounted, forward facing snowblower). Even better trick is to cut those trees down in the summer/fall, you'll have firewood for the upcoming winter AND won't have to step out of the tractor when clearing snow :)

[@markdiulio9424]

Great job really did well

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Mark!

Love the long format videos. Love how you talked for 14min then completed the work.

[@jrsmyth9761]

Just a tid bit of info, when I snow blow and have hanging branches I maneuver the chute and deflector to deflock them. This keeps you from having to drive through them and more importantly gives you a bit of fun.

[@haroldanderson2781]

That wet heavy stuff revealed a days worth of work trimming along the driveway. I try to get my end if driveway done first so I can blow all the salt/sand with fresh snow. Great video!!

[@karlk6860]

Good video and I totally agree with you there are some days when you know you will be in the tractor moving snow in the morning, I run a rig similar to yours but with a PTO blower on the rear and loader on the front and some morning it just feels good to out doing this! Although by the end of the year I am looking to really NOT be moving snow anymore on a good snow year I get up to 60 hours in the cab moving snow and just about never less than 40 hours, by Spring I am ready to do something else with the tractor! Good video thanks for sharing!

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! Very true for me too, Karl. Thanks !

[@jamespotestio1074]

The winter time is always a good reminder that you will have some right of way and canopy work to do on your roadway.

Even better when you can take yer time and enjoy.thankz for sharing.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Good stuff! Funny how us tractor owner's sometimes look forward to snow! It's obvious you're digging the new cab! Nice!

[@GPOutdoors]

I sure am Kap! So nice to have heat and shelter. Cheers!

[@johnevans6053]

Instead of the rear blade, you should have hooked up the wood chipper :)

[@UnderTheJelloMoon]

I was thinking a carryall box that mounts on top of the rear blade would be good, could haul all that wood back for a nice bonfire in the spring.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Ha! Improvise! Let's throw heavy snow on the trees. Love it.

[@bobpurs]

Sure is pretty . Wet snow is a pain. Looks like,e blower did well.

[@GPOutdoors]

She did great Bob! Similar to the old one, you just have to watch how fast you ingest the snow - especially this stuff. I had no idea how wet and heavy it was until I started up the driveway and saw the trees bent over. Have a wonderful and safe New Years with your family!

[@bobpurs]

Yep sure looked wet. Bet you would’ve grab a saw if you knew also. I’ve had to use my back blade before to push limb out of the way when I forgot a saw.

[@mikeleins1675]

Great video! Really enjoyed it!

Exactly why you need the rig you have. Beautiful

[@mygrassisbrowner]

great idea blasting the branches with the snowblower! :)

[@michaelmactavish1728]

lol my buddy uses the blower and pushes them off useing the blower bucket

[@RDavies126746]

Love the long driveway! Mine is 1200ft and almost as beautiful in the winter as yours. I wish it would stay cold down here so my driveway would freeze and stay frozen for the winter as every time I remove snow I also remove a layer of stone as well. Have a happy and safe New Years.

[@Harry-zz2oh]

Maybe you are using your snow removal equipment too low to the ground. Some snow blowers have adjustable skids to keep from picking up the rock. Please consider what you are doing and why it picks up a layer of stone.

[@pratzert]

Hi GP. I just realized that you have a new tractor and a new Snowblower. I missed the transition to the new equipment. This video highlights the good and bad with a cab. If all you had was a roll bar, you could go under/thru some of those low hanging branches. But with the cab, you have to take the time to get them out of the way so not to damage your cab. Hopefully you only have to clear the trees and branches out one time per season if you have a big storm. I love your videos and hints & tips. Stay Safe my friend.

[@GPOutdoors]

Great points P. But I must say the heat is awfully nice. :)) Have a great week!

[@rbhillner]

Looks more like an exercise video than tractor use. We didn't get that much ice snow combo here , glad of that. Cheers

[@andrewandron7087]

Wow! That was quite the operation!! Glad you had the gear and knowledge to clear it all up!

[@akquilter3519]

What a beautiful, winter wonderland!! Happy New Year! Stay safe.

[@powrguy1696]

Great job on the video edit. Good to see you improvise as you go, and adapt when you need to. When you're out clearing, and trees are coming down, you can't hear the "crack", so the "I shouldn't be out here alone" rings very true. I notice you take a good look around at the trees near you, when you're gonna start chainsawing.....well done.

[@FromSteelToWood]

Wow, that is indeed an adventure! First time I ever see a snowblower shooting for limbs so they can clear the way. At some point, it looked like a Nintendo game! Lol! Thanks GP!

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! It kind of turned into a bit of fun Joe. As you can see, I need more practice. LOL! Can't wait to see you clearing that new long driveway! Hope you and your family had a good New Years Day!

[@sheilasantiago3715]

Just an FYI, I watched a video yesterday about putting on a ceramic coat on ALL the parts that the snow comes in contact with. Must have a clean, dry snowblower, then clean with isopropyl alcohol first. I'm sure you could find videos if you are interested. The guy had virtually no snow build up after using and it's supposed to last all season.

[@deanstrickland6993]

GP the night of the storm, "I can't wait for morning and a nice relaxing ride up & down the driveway in my cab" Mother Nature, "Ha...think again buddy!" lol Wow that was an adventure, sure did look cool with all the snow on the trees, but the clean up is a mess. In the extended play near the end there was a tree hanging over that looked like it was gonna come down.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Dan! There were a few. Honestly, I should have called Guy or Bob to come out. Literally, while I was out there, tree tops and limbs continued to crash down around me. I didn't want to make the video too dramatic, but that's why I went all the way back to get my Helmet. Happy New years to you and your wonderful family my friend! I look forward to hanging with you in the New Year!

[@oby-1607]

I guess one advantage of the snowblower is it throws the snow away from the road where a plow packs it against the sides. I know when I plow and it gets deep, the road gets narrower and narrower. This is because I have a fence on each side.

We use to have a lot of cedars along the side of our 2/10 of a mile driveway. But over the years ice storms and heavy snow have caused me to have to cut them down to be able to get out and go to work. What is really bad is when they are touching the driveway and it is freezing rain and the get stuck to the driveway. That makes it that much harder to get them cut and out of the way. Enjoyed the video with the snow. Let's hope that it is a Happy New Year! Be safe out there!

Sean, Gord’s cottage is in the Haliburton vicinity. Those last rains and above freezing temps we had in eastern Ontario were mostly snow and cold on the west side of a lineline running from the east side of Toronto northeast through Bancroft. On the west side of that line, it was either snow or a snow/rain mix. That cold/warm line ran from Toronto due south through the US. The western part of Pennsylvania was all snow, with rain in the east. It was colder in northern Florida’s on Christmas Eve and Day than it was in the whole eastern part of Canada. Strange weather indeed!
