Ben, I can tell from your videos that you are a great neighbor! I plowed our small road and our neighbor’s driveway with my front end loader. It didn’t look as well as yours but maybe it helped a little. Great video!

[@khtractors]

That’s awesome! Thank you for doing that!

[@mikewinters9212]

I really enjoyed doing it.

[@khtractors]

@@mikewinters9212 it’s a great thing to do!

[@jonathanjackson928]

I enjoy seeing your family helping others. I know you don’t do it for the recognition but people are observing your good works. You’re a servant at heart!!

[@khtractors]

The only reason I discuss what I do on here is in hopes that others might feel the urge to do something similar. It would be nice to get paid for all these jobs but there is more to life than money. I just hope people appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@iriswaade2105]

I am overjoyed recognizing the gifts of heart you, Benny, and Clayton gave in helping your neighbors gain access out of their homes' driveways. Very generous of time, hard work, and heart. Thk you for giving to your neighbors and to the community.

[@khtractors]

We enjoy it! Blessed to have a great community here! Thanks and love you!

[@judysmith8012]

Benjamin, I know your neighbors appreciate you, Clayton and Benny clearing their driveways as well as Little Caney Ridge Road more than words can express. You are a neighbor a lot of us would love to have! Your community is very blessed to have each of you to help out in their time of need.

Thank you Judy! Love you

Good Evening Sir, I'M HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE MY FRIEND WITH ALL THAT SNOW 👍👌😇 Cheers 🍻🍻

I felt like I live in Canada this week! Thank you buddy!

[@billr4677]

@@khtractorsI do live in Canada Ben and I’m extremely jealous 😂. We recently got ~ 4-6” (likely the same front that dumped on you) ; almost enough to get excited for the TYM to get some work done. Did the neighbour’s driveway too as they both work and have a young child to entertain. Have a great weekend Ben and family. Hope your wife is healing well. Sometimes I miss practicing medicine while in the Military as a PA.

I will say it does look beautiful. Blessings to you and the family.

Thank you so much!

[@simpleman4196]

I don't know what it is but I always love seeing dirt or snow just roll off a rear blade. To me it's almost like watching fire could just watch it all day

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Great job Ben to You, Clayton, and Your Dad for taking care of your neighbors and it didn’t hurt having a little fun too, we are temps in teens with the windchill bringing it down to 0, but today it got up to 37 degrees and the snow storm is supposed start around midnight, take care be safe and please stay warm, God Bless

[@khtractors]

It was a cold day but had a good time. The fire station was mid route so it was a good warming spot to stop! Thanks

[@joutdoorsmen23]

[@MitchellPack-zw4vu]

Wow Ben, my wife would be in hog heaven to have that snow here in north Georgia, and my grandkids would be having a blast playing in it. You and Clayton are doing a great job, I personally have a BX 2670 and I must admit Clayton and the BX have done a great job but you and the M6060 are hard to beat. Great job and thank you once again for sharing the video, but most of all for having a servants heart and helping out your neighbors

[@khtractors]

We’ve enjoyed it I just dread making up all this time missed from School in May! Thanks for watching

Great video Ben. It’s soooooo nice of you to help your neighbors out. I wish more people were like you.

[@khtractors]

If I sat here and didn’t try then found out a neighbor was sick and couldn’t get out I couldn’t live that down. We gotta try and do what we can when we can! Thank you

[@countryboyscooter3402]

You are an asset to your community Ben! God Bless

[@khtractors]

We have so many good people here that deserve the help! Thank you

[@ericcrockett6396]

Love to see in not the only one out helping my neighbors and doing the County’s job. It makes you feel good when you can help others when you have the means too. We ended up with about 6in last night and our mine long ridge is low on the priority list so I plow it with my tractor. Then I got to work and got out the tractor there went and plowed the business there (there was 1 guy trying to clear it by hand) he thanked me and then I got to work on my shop and the business next door. That being said my tractor at my shop only had a box scraper and the loader bucket I did not bring up the loader mounted snow plow as I forgot. And after today I don't see how guys just use a loader bucket to clear snow that is the biggest pain in the butt once you've used a front mounted snow plow. Now the box blade actually worked pretty good and clearing off the light snowfalls as it would gather the snow and just drag it behind me but these deeper snows it fills up too fast and really made me wish for my grader blade

[@khtractors]

I’m really glad you help out like that! More people need that attitude. In my next video I use my front blade, it’s does really good in most places. Thanks for watching

[@simpleman4196]

I always plow my road and neighbors driveway I just enjoy doing it. The neighbors quite asking two years ago what they owe me. They know I will not take any money but they do get me coffee sometime. I do enjoy my coffee.

[@khtractors]

Glad you help out like that! Thanks

[@user-in5hi9wd6f]

You have more snow than we do here in cny, we can still see the grass through what little bit we have. 50 miles north of here, they have between 3 and 5 feet and it’s still coming down. Stay safe, have a great day and may God bless….Don

[@khtractors]

I’ll pass on the 3 to 5 feet! We had one snow in 1993 that was 3 feet and drifted places over 10 feet. It was unreal. Thanks for watching!

[@hevychevy87]

You all got a good little snow! Stay warm!

[@khtractors]

Thanks, you too!

Burrrrrr, Ben its to COLD. I was making hay today in a T-shirt.

Rub it in 😂! Thanks for watching!

[@timnash6870]

Tim from Canada… you were talking +6 temperatures that is a spring day in Canada. .. I see you have a little bit of snow there. I am surprised they did not shut down your state due to all of the snow you have accumulated… did not think there was snow in the warmer states where you are love the shows

[@khtractors]

We got to 0 Fahrenheit that night, pretty cold for here. Calling for another snow tonight. Thanks for watching

[@mikerequa820]

Great video Ben! It's great to have neighbors like y'all not many of us left out there anymore that's way i was raised. our road district came through other day with there plow about 3ft of ground never touched the road but i have my little Mahindra 1626 and angle blade i cleaned it as I've done for 4 years we've lived here. That little BX does a good job with turf tires. And Deere gettin around good for 2wd which the big Kubota makes quick work of bout anything you do with it. Thanks for sharing be safe enjoy.

[@khtractors]

That was the 4 wheel drive John Deere 770 with turf tires. It’s an excellent snow plowing tractor. Thanks for watching!

[@alfredstaude3955]

Hello, many thank´s for your vid`s at all - good advices, flawless work and natural! I respect (and like) so much effort. The snow removal with the rear blade is great; I also did this with my little JD 310 when there was 1ft of snow this year; However, the distances are nowhere near as long as they are in the your Country... Helping out the neighbor is great. Best Regards, Alfred

[@khtractors]

Yeah some of these are long driveways and it’s a lot of distance between places. Glad you help out as well! Thanks for watching

Great job ben...If i were closer i would be right there with ya! Great job......I would like to find a set of chains for the front of mine one of these days too...they make a huge difference on the ice...

[@khtractors]

The chains were a big help, especially a few places I went that evening late. I have rear chains but they just make the ride too rough traveling on the road. Thanks for watching

[@bradh74]

That was a decent amount of snow, it makes it worse in the mountains to clean up. It looks like at your place there was just enough to get out a snow blower but a blade is faster and better if you don't get heavy snows often. That's about all we get in Ohio most of the time, if lake affect snows happen then we can get a lot more but most of it dumps before it hits us (where I live).

[@khtractors]

Yeah the blades work well here. Thank you!

[@ericsmith7804]

Why are you going in reverse so much? Is there an advantage I don't know?

[@khtractors]

Back blading to keep from digging into gravel and your not packing it by driving across first. Also it’s just easier to shove the pile out of the way all in one motion when needed. It’s all situational. Thanks for watching

[@raywhite1442]

I reckon if they started paying you for for working the snow you would think more seriously about the cab tractor

[@khtractors]

Cab tractors are just hard for me to justify. A lot of extra money to help keep me comfortable. If I had to be out it would be different, I’m just choosing to be. But I would like a cab at times. Thanks
