Can the "Sledge" Mini Loader out plow 2 tractors, a skid and a Truck?

[@treadlightlyservicesllc.1930]

This is equipment level porn.... That curb shot back drag was AWESOME!

[@climberanderson]

Lucas’s lot looked way cleaner at the end, so clean! I run a 908 cat with a Kage system, but I wouldn’t mind one of those. Very cool

[@AustinHerrig]

I'm really loving these plowing videos. I've plowed a few seasons in my life and its become part of me i swear. Any time i watch someone plow I'm a critic. Keep up the great videos! Love from NW Ohio!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Austin ! Appreciate you watching !

[@mightymoeexcavating754]

Hats off to Lucas,he wins hands down!

[@nicholask8573]

I'm sold on the artic pushers. They scrape so amazing.

[@84greenbear]

I'm not going to get into the snowplowing game until charging by the inch becomes the norm again! HAHA

[@harryhogan-shaw5472]

The drone shot at 0:30 is flipping awesome One of the best videos you have done yet. The drone shots, video quality and equipment. Just amazing

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you, glad you liked it !!

[@Aepek]

Would love to see an aerial video of ALL your vehicles used for plowing snow; do a synchronized "dance" to music while plowing at night.....think would be just great, & show off how awesome your guys are at maneuvering the machines👍🏻

[@Dirtmonkey]

Great suggestion, thank you !

[@Mckeegan_head]

I’d lose my mind plowing with all those machine in such a small parking lot nothing sucks more than playing dodgeball while your trying to work

[@michaelmaker8169]

Its team work. A fine dance if all goes well. I think they're a great team and know how to work together.

[@wildfire53575]

I LOVE this it keeps the job fun and everyone full of energy .... snow removal can get so mundane for the crews, it also shows the company who can operate in a crew, lead and the learning curve of the workers.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you and appreciate the great comments !

THATS THE POWER OF ARTIC SECTIONAL SNO-PLOW made in KanKakee, Illinois

[@brendanc7629]

There is a real Tom Sawyer tricking his friends to paint a fence, quality to this video

[@liambrooks2330]

Northwest Pa has not got squat for snow this season. We maybe got 3 inches since Monday! A few saltings and that's it! From what I see here, when i can get one machine and one operator to do 90% the work done as 4 men and machines in the same time; that Arctic and small payloader is worth gold! Granted you have a good operator running it.

[@cornflake596]

4 men and 4 machines doing 10% more than 1 man and 1 machine in the same time. If my math is correct that’s almost 400% more efficient so who actually won?

[@brandynkennedy1818]

That's a very good way to put it. He did win the battle but he certainly won the war with labour and equipment cost

[@batterpm11]

I would say Stan won, that’s some efficiency right there.

[@brandynkennedy1818]

Stan won? Stan was the one that paid 4 wages, equipment costs and the many other hidden costs behind paying each guy per hour. His guys are efficient yes, but man power can only do so much over a bigger and better tool. Can I spread a 22 tonnes of dirt by hand? Yes of course I can, or I can use a machine and do it much faster

[@dirtworks7511]

Stan definitely won on this haha.

[@brandynkennedy1818]

How did stan win? I'm completely confused? Yes his guys were faster and he certainly won the bet, but the point is long term efficiency here and overall cost. One guy did just as much as four did in just a slightly longer amount of time

[@CoastConcreteCorp]

In my opinion, Lucas won. The four machines finished first, however, Lucas hung with them and was basically done as well. So to me, they didn’t overlap his progress enough to justify the win. That pusher is worth every penny.

[@shawnengstrom3906]

Nothing better than the AS. Been running a 18 footer on the property a couple years now and could not be happier. They are also easier on the pavement when it becomes a little uneven

[@blkxr7]

It's a bosses dream when the employees are racing to make you more money haha

[@stanhensley3082]

Great fun.Just got off my JD3320.The ice is bad bad.Thanks to all you night snow plow people.I like my 3320 with a loader and bucket.I don’t have a lot of room to pile snow.This year you have to pile high or haul away.I don’t go out just my big yard.Still work 2 to 3 hours.Snow is really piling up.The video is one of your best,Thanks!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Stan!!

[@dpyles9396]

That was FUN to watch! One piece of equipment doing 90% of what 4 pieces of equipment did in the same time period is MASSIVELY impressive! Three of the four machines were BEASTS too. Not like he was competing with a bunch of 4-wheelers!!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Pretty wild right?! Glad you appreciated it 😀

[@lkirsch85]

I use a 14' Artic Sectional in front of a john deere 544k for Valparaiso Community Schools. We are located in Northwest Indiana. I am very pleased with the way they clean. And even with a large loader when the box bites in it grabs and slows down the push

[@keithwalker7151]

I hauled a few of those sectional pushers when I was trucking, they were really impressive and I always wanted to play with one!

[@jalemmichelle4356]

Please keep making snow plow videos ! They are the best and insightful !! Keep it up 👍👍👍

[@Dirtmonkey]

Will do Jalem, thank you !

[@lukeoforcas]

Good vid Stanley. We’ve done the same “speed and quality” competition in my line of work. Found out all my coworkers can perform their tasks 3 times as quickly without hurting themselves or damaging equipment. Was a great way to build morale and lessen the gripe factor.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Luke !

[@adambuchanan1092]

I've been watching your videos for about six months now and decided to subscribe. Good quality, unbiased information and very informative.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Adam and happy you are here!!

[@TN_Whiskey]

Amazing piece of equipment to be able to keep up with four guys working on the same lot

[@cmusic52]

I love how engenius that "sledge" pusher is, with its sections and floater design, imagine how that'll do on slopes.... its just sooooo slick.... no wonder it can do soooo much more then the rest.... though I don't think he planned on how good the rest of your equipment is.... like the back end plow on the truck...

[@Aepek]

That Arctic Sectional Lucas is running is sweet! Never seen anything like it before, pretty cool. Of course, don't plow anymore as moved to FL. Wish I had that though when I did plow, would have been awesome.... Thanks for these kinds of "in your face", "hands on" type videos. It's one thing to see a plow, vehicle, tool etc...in shop/store, but completely different actually seeing it in action & getting feedback👍🏻 Cheers, A

[@atbpsycold5380]

Lucas saved how many gallons of fuel and man hours?

[@tonysanders6166]

That artic sectional pusher was amazing snow pusher. I loved the way it does curbs

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for watching Tony !

[@tonysanders6166]

I've never seen anything like that before. That snow pusher is a thing of the future. Poor Lucas though. His claim seemed very promising and in my opinion, he really won that contest because he did all the work of the other four in just about the same time. Not to mention that he used less fuel than four other pieces of equipment. So I say Lucas, overall, won, hands down. Love your KZbin videos and I learn new things all the time. Thanks a lot Stanley

[@farvaliter0cola330]

Used a 15’ Arctic for a few yrs and loved it. #1 push box choice. Used to do Walmart’s with it. I had a 966 cat loader and with weight it didn’t slow down on ice. The tiltable moboard made it great for scraping snow pack because you could tilt it and get a more aggressive scrape when needed. First year with it cut my time down 40-60% compared to other pushers I used. Means more time for more contracts.

[@timeckels8639]

That thing is sick! The curb cleaning was impressive.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Glad you liked it Tim, thanks for viewing !

[@macksoutdoors757]

thats really slick! bet you guys are absolutely loving all this snow so far this month here! as a body tech i pray for this kinda winter every year to keep the shop full. guess we just had to wait till the end of winter for all the work. can't wait to see what sorta heavy wet nasty snow march will bring

[@UnknownProductions0]

we got arctic pushers at work, they are AWESOME. we have two front end loaders and a skid with arctic pushers. ive been impressed as hell with em

[@dgdservices9993]

Great video, we have a Case SR240 with the Case sectional pusher box made by Arctic. Awesome productivity....!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you !

[@barrysimmons5489]

That piece is so effective it almost, I say almost makes me want to go back North to get in the snow plow business again. My last unit was a 72 power wagon with a seven and a half foot power angle Meyers plow on it that I modified. Before that it was a 69 Scout with a six and a half foot modified Power angle Myers. Most of my work was residential with a few Light commercial in central New York state.

[@williamgleaves1954]

Jesus, how much cheaper is 1 loader vs 4 pieces of equipment? Man-hours, maintenance, fuel, insurance, wear items, plus an increased chance of collision (with 4 vehicles). I mean PUH-LEEZE the profits will go thru the roof!

[@ryanbruckhart1284]

With how good that artic snow pusher held up to the competition, you better order more of those snow pushers for all your machines, time is money 🇺🇸👍

[@kjbhalifornia]

The Arctic pusher is good, but I've got a couple years experience running a loader with a Metal Pless blade and It's quite a bit more efficient. Little bit more cost and learning curve but you've got so much more control. Nice comparison!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate it Kelly, thanks !

[@SnowBoss]

Arctic's are nice, but MetalPless is at a whole other level.

[@clark772]

I don't think anyone was surprised as that was exactly his reasoning for buying the SDLG in the first place.

[@alexkey3695]

We’ve been running nothing but Arctic pushers for years and once you get really good at them, nothing touches them. You can backdrag and swipe curbs wicked fast

Thank you for watching Christopher

[@runningscout14]

The group of four had a huge advantage for the curbs if you know how to operate a back blade. Especially the expanding style.like you have. Leave the wing that is on the curb side folded in and extend the other the drive down the curb.

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Man that thing is impressive!

[@OldGriz708]

Lucas won hands down. He was 2 pushes behind with 1/4 of the fuel cost. 1/4 of the man hours. 1/4 of the insurance cost 1/4 of equipment maintenance cost. That's a win in my book every day.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

What is the cost per machine? Then see how the savings really look.

[@davidmauersberger5431]

One hell of a cruew.

[@gordowg1wg145]

There are several tyre manufacturers, mostly European, that have special snow/all weather tyres for loaders - better tread design and rubber compound for winter conditions - might be worth checking them out and seeing if you can have them fitted to new equipment, if found suitable? Easy to say, looking from overhead and as an observer, but several times Lucas left snow that needed later cleaning up when a little diversion would have done it at the time?

[@MiniMachines1]

How is the cheep Loader working now when you have got some hours on it? What about the comfort for the driver? That always been an problem with the cheep chines loaders.

[@briant2828]

"I've never seen a pusher that can do this" Look up Metal Pless. I run two Cat 924K's with 10-18 Metal Pless with the live edge. One of the lots we clear is 1.5 million SQFT, two loaders, full detailing, complete clearing is 4-6 hours. A HUGE upgrade to that mini loader would be winter tires. Those rock hard quarry tires are garbage! I couldnt believe how much improvement I got running a winter tire.
