John Deere Snowblower - X738 vs Blizzard

Today we'll use the John Deere Snowblower attachment on the X738 to clean up after the Buffalo blizzard of 2024. Looks like we have about 2 feet of snow overall with some drifts up to 3 feet deep. Let's get the John Deere x738 with the 47 inch front mount snowblower and get busy. This set up with the snowblower on the front and a heated cab is (in my opinion) the perfect setup for snow removal.

Good lord that is a long driveway. Tractor does a nice job

[@EverythingElliott]

It sure is! Tractor makes quick work of it!

[@michaeljustinger628]

Great video. You're a talented videographer and snow removal guru! With temperature in the single digits and wind gusts in the 25 mph range, unless you're the abominable snowman, a heated cab is a must!

[@EverythingElliott]

The temperature, and wind made it a challenge to film this one!

[@MJF40]

Can’t please everyone with sound. Looks like a great machine for that much snow. No battery snowblower stuff 😉

People would either complain about the music, or complain about the sound of a tractor running for 30 min…there’s no inbetween. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely FANTASTIC video. That JD cab is sweet. Loved every minute of this. Added to my FAVORITES. That little tractor cleared so much snow. What a power horse! Hope you upload more like this in future snow events!

[@jonseim4030]

I enjoy watching snowblower videos because I'll be moving to NH soon(ish) and the driveway we'll have is no where big enough for a plow, which i use now. So to see the different setups out there and the different techniques everyone use to do their driveways is all good knowledge for me to put to the test when I'm finally out in NH

[@EverythingElliott]

You can't really beat a machine like this, use it to mow in the summer, and use it for snow removal in the winter!

[@iamReddington]

Very relaxing video, thank you.

[@VikingShipExplorer]

Yes a heated cab is the best for snow blowing without a doubt. You should find one for yours or build one. I'm pretty sure you have all the tools and know how to get it done. Something to ponder for next year. It would make for some great channel content . Even if you found an older one and modified it to fit, would be a great asset for the winter months. Great video as always and great snow blowing on the JD.

[@EverythingElliott]

They actually don’t make a cab for my model tractor, atleast one that I can find. I think I’d be better off building my own rather than modifying one to fit! Thanks for watching!

[@jdtractorman7445]

Nice tractor setup you have there. A cab is a must when snow blowing.

[@EverythingElliott]

Snowblowing with my Kubota L4701 and 7' wide blower without a cab is miserable compared to using this John Deere

[@stuntcardriver]

I would check the chain tension. Sounds like something is loose.

[@EverythingElliott]

Chain has been on order, just waiting for it to come in. It’s stretched beyond the adjuster. Thanks for watching, and good ear!

It's 46F outside so I'm here to watch you blow snow.

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Hey Elliot that looked like an awful lot of snow for that lawn tractor to move. The kubota with the 7 ft blower would have been more practical for that amount of snow. But conditions like that require a heated cab for sure. We’re directly across from Buffalo in Fort Erie and fortunately for us we only got about a foot of snow. I’m sure your folks are greatful for your assistance. Cheers Mark GO BILLS !!!!!!!!

[@EverythingElliott]

yeah the wind was a problem that's for sure! The cab with the heater was the solution. My tractor would have cleared the driveway so much faster, but if you take into account the loading and transport of my tractor the JD would take less total time.

[@barrywiseman7012]

The X730 did very well to blow that amount of snow. You'd need a bigger machine to plow that amount. If that's a relatively typical snowstorm several times/winter in that area, I think a snowblower is the way to go . For the snow we get, 5-10" when we get a storm, a loader mounted plow on my 1025R works fine for me. Beautiful property. Watched your channel several times now. Finally subscribed. Cheers

[@EverythingElliott]

I'm sure you saw the wind in this video, when a plow is used at my parents property the wind just ends up blowing the plow row right back into the driveway. The snowblower is the superior application in this situation for sure!

[@barrywiseman7012]

@@EverythingElliott No kidding. Yup, it looked very windy. Good point about a plow in that situation! Thank goodness you had a cab. Gamesaver for sure!

[@frankwrogg2515]

We have a fence like that for our dogs and have to keep in cleaned out, or by late winter, they can just walk over the top of it.

[@EverythingElliott]

yeah, its getting to the point where their dog is almost ready to jump over it!

[@Captndarty]

I have a 738 and although I’m not a fan of snowblowers versus my 60 inch plow these conditions are certainly the exception.

[@EverythingElliott]

Plow wouldn’t do much of anything in these conditions, thanks for watching!

[@EverythingElliott]

Plow wouldn’t do much of anything in these conditions, thanks for watching!

[@JuniorFan08]

I have an X738 with a 54" blower, but I don't have a cab, but I have no where near the amount to plow as you do in this video. I just wish we'd have a decent snow storm instead of the 2"-3" of snow followed by rain that we've been getting this winter.

[@EverythingElliott]

Winters are always unpredictable. It’s been a lot of rain mixed with snow this year as well.

[@kidonfarm]

Heated skid, loaders, even better with the snowblower on the front we have just as long driveway on our farm

[@EverythingElliott]

No doubt about that, but that just wouldn't be reasonable for him to own just as a homeowner. Gotta use what you have!

[@Mikel9999-vh3cb]

Nice video. Garden tractors are capable if the machine is spec’d out properly and the surface is relatively flat. My Husqvarna lawn tractor throws ok and has a rear locking differential and 24 hp engine, but no front wheel drive. I’m guessing you’d notice a difference with chains and rear weights.

[@EverythingElliott]

This unit is 4x4 and does fairly well without the chains and weights. Thanks for watching!

[@NN-lx4mb]

I want one!

[@EverythingElliott]

It certainly is a capable little machine!

[@careyfrennier347]

One of my favorite snow removal videos you have done. That Geen just pops! Your little drone seems to hold its own despite the wind. What drone are you using? DJI kit?

[@EverythingElliott]

Hey thanks! I think we had some good conditions for filming (minus the wind) and the drone that was used for this video was a DJI mini 3

Hey, my last name is Elliott and I also own an X-738 with the same blower and hard cab. Only thing I don’t like is the hydraulic whine.

[@thomaslomeo2736]

I don’t know, Elliot, I like the Kabota, it’s an animal.… but that John Deere is a really nice unit with that cab and the heat…

The heated cab is the ticket. Wish my tractor had one!

[@gudfarfar]

Do you have chains for the tractor tires? It seems that little machine could use the extra traction.

[@EverythingElliott]

I do not have chains for the tractor. It does pretty well for what it is

[@billkline4077]

3 things I love - my wife, my dog, and my X738 JD that cab looks really good how high is it to the top of the cab ? Im thinking soft cab or hard cab like yours . living in westren NY we get some huge snows close to lake erie and it getting cold on the face blowing 5 ft of snow Im thinking cab !

[@EverythingElliott]

Speaking from experience, my father started with a soft cab. It lasted one winter before he said he needed a hard cab. We found this hard cab second hand for $500, gave it a little TLC and put it in.

[@funtyes1970]

wow I can't get over how long is your driveway is. and your yard it most take you some time to cut your grass in summer. a yard that big I would want a big cab tractor with A/C and heat

[@EverythingElliott]

Well, thankfully it’s not my driveway, or yard to deal with. It’s my parents, I was just giving my dad a hand that day. He’s retired now, so that gives him plenty of time to mow in the summer, and blow in the winter

[@GTO7005]

Fun video Just one question why would you blow snow the way you did As a snow blower operator for 40 yrs you always try to throw with the wind and start on the edge of driveway that’s on your left in your video for instance Why throw over what you already blew Again fun video just an observation plus it gives me more videos to train operators not to do time is fuel is money Nice machine

[@EverythingElliott]

simple answer: I'm new to this....I've used a plow my entire life, this is my first year with my own snowblower, and first time running my Dads.

[@GTO7005]

@@EverythingElliott right on. Understand like I said it was just an observation not ripping your content we all have are good days and bad days With that said love the content

[@sho942000]

Awesome vid. But for about the same money as a X7 Series, I'd have gone with an 1025R

[@EverythingElliott]

Thanks! As far as the 1025 goes, it would have been a lot more with the cab option. The only thing he uses this for is snowblowing so it works well for his needs!

[@frankwrogg2515]

Once you get a tractor this size, it always seems like a no brainer to just jump to a 1023 or 1025.

[@EverythingElliott]

The snowblower is the only use this tractor has, I use it to mow lawn at my house in the summer, but he has no use for anything bigger. the 1023 and 1025 both use this same snowblower, and the cab option for those is even more expensive. This X738 is a good fit for him!

[@EverythingElliott]

No it’s not it’s a gas motor

[@jimhohl9003]

Simple logic dictates determining starting your start of blowing based on prevailing wind direction. Why start on the downwind side of the driveway and then the need to snowblow over where you already cleared. You should have started your first pass on the upwind side of the drive .

[@EverythingElliott]

you are certainly correct! but once I started I just committed...it ended up working out as the winds were strong enough to carry the snow over the driveway.

[@cnrmoose]

ugh, music competing with the engine noise. Engine > music all day long.

[@EverythingElliott]

You’re not the first person to say that in one of my videos, and honestly during editing I thought about leaving the music out but listening to 30 min of the stretched chain on that blower clang around was ear piercing.

[@yolala100]

Why did you start right lane and that after you blow over the path you already cleaned ??? You should have start on the left side and work your way to the right with the help of the wind ....... 🤦‍♂

[@EverythingElliott]

because once I realized, I was already committed...

[@larryhudlemeyer2617]

Dude! Come on! Clean out that whole area in front of the storage shed! And....it's easier if you go with the wind instead of against it. If you have to go against the wind, consider lowering the discharge chute so you don't the majority of that snow so high in the air that it just blows back on you.. So, what do I know about blowing snow? I've used a John Deere 1028 SE and currently use a 1330 SE walk behind....no cab....no heated cab, though they did have heated handles.....no protection from blowing snow. One season I did use an old full-face motorcycle helmet to help me avoid snow blowback. It worked great and since I mainly blew snow at night, I even wore a LED headlamp with a red light so folks could see me better! The things we do to move the snow! I learned my trade from watching 15-ton Oshkosh blowers at work while I was in the Air Force in Alaska, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Indiana, and South Dakota! I figured out real quick it was far better to blow snow rather than plow it or shovel it! Nice unit you've got there....take care!

[@EverythingElliott]

Not my property, not my decision what he wants cleaned up, and what he wants left...and as far as the wind goes, I was already committed once I realized what was happening, and I'm not one to back down from a fight, especially when I'm inside a heated cab!

[@larryhudlemeyer2617]

Fair enough! Say....didn't ole Punxsutawney Phil predict an early Spring this year!? Wonder how many more times we'll be out still blowing snow until the Robins actually show up!? Anyhow, best wishes for snow blowing success from 7000' in the Jemez Mountains of Northern New Mexico!
