FIND OUT IF THIS MICRO MACHINE CAN ACTUALLY HANDLE SNOW PLOWING!?❄️

Like more than a few of you, we couldn't wait for the first snowfall so we could try out some new equipment. In this case, it's our Japanese Mini Dump with the Fisher 6-Way Plow. We have the salter on back, but we haven't ordered our snow-melt pellets yet, so today is just a plow.

Great little truck for plowing snow. Looks like it is fun to drive. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I could have done it all day :)

[@dougraimondo4683]

That seems really awesome very simple and small to do driveways and you can be meticulous getting everything. 👍👍

[@bdavisdc]

I do commercial plowing. I use a Boss V blade on a 2500 GMC. My preferred controller location is on the gear selector. One hand can change gears and hold plow controls while the other is spinning the wheel. Similar to most modern wheel loader that have a F/N/R toggle on the joystick. It would be reversed due to the Right hand drive, but I'm sure you would adapt. You may be able to unscrew the gear knob and screw on something to hold the controller. That way you wouldn't have to permanently modify your truck to mount the it. Then in warmer months, you just put you knob back on. Just my thoughts.

[@Expedition18]

Glad you show the fun, satisfying part of getting stuff done. That blade looks amazing.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, yeah I had a good time!

Builds a 5 car garage then buys a warehouse 🤣🤣 You still married?🤣🤣 that is 100% best set up I've seen. Every mall needs one of these.

[@justanotherviewer52]

That little machine does a pretty good job - - - - for a plow 🙂 We used urea to spread on the runways of our airport for snow/ice melting.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, yeah for a plow 😂

[@LTVoyager]

As I believe I have commented here in winter’s past, I much prefer plowing snow in my Chevy 2500HD than with a tractor any day. A tractor is great for really rough terrain or if you have a lot of snow, say more than 3’. However, for longer driveways (mine is 1800’) and larger parking lots (I plow my church’s lot), you can’t beat a pickup. I can plow 2’ of snow fairly easily in a comfortable heated cab with my coffee cup at hand. It doesn’t get much better than that. And a truck can plow fast on a paved or hard frozen dirt driveway. I don’t have the cool dump feature of the mini dump, however. 😁

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I have no interest in driving around in my daily vehicle with a plow on it all winter. Plowing with a truck is nice though! Good to have options, we all like something different :)

[@LTVoyager]

@@GoodWorksTractors I don’t. I put the plow on when I need it and take it off when I don’t. It takes all of 5 minutes tops with the Western Ultramount system. And the mount that is left on the truck is fairly unobtrusive.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

U sure can distroy a pick up plowing maybe not you in general but a person can

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

@@GoodWorksTractors he must like replacing shocks springs and other parts yearly some people aren’t too bright

[@LTVoyager]

@@laisuresboringadventures7052 You can destroy any piece of equipment if you don’t know how to operate and maintain it. I plowed snow for 18 years with my 1994 K1500, with a manual transmission no less. I did have to replace the bearings in the front axle as a half ton pickup is a little lightweight for plowing much snow and my driveway is quite long. However, it was the truck I had at the time so I used it. It did well for not having the snow plow package. I bought a 2500HD in 2014 and it is going strong after 9 years of plowing, but then it is built for this sort of use and I added the snow plow package when I bought it. And I have plowed snow with a variety of vehicles (up to small bulldozers) for nearly 50 years so I know what I am doing. An idiot can easily ruin a tractor also.

[@ghosty1233]

Love the aesthetics of the truck as well. Simple nothing goofy all functionality. Love the wheels and tires you got on it as well. :)

[@Freecan67]

Nice tool. Thanks for Sharing. Merry Christmas.

[@neilieb3740]

Kei is definitely the way. Who knew you add a plow and it could handle things just the same. The more you know. You you got the job done and in nice warm comfort just the same. When you end your day, you could drive it to a spot and go chill.

[@JCWren]

I think you should accept the fact that the bronze bull is there to stay :) Wrap it in white lights for Christmas, and if you want to shock passers by then hang a pair of red bulbs off... well, you know where I'm going with that.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, that would really throw them off! Maybe it'll keep folks away, I don't mind that! I've got this idea that probably won't work to have it melted down and reworked into something different...I'm just afraid to know the price tag!!

[@OmegaRed048]

Great production quality on the video, and actually showed plowing instead of just talking in a shop all the time like most. More content!

[@valleytractorservices9310]

I honestly wish this guy was my big brother. I've learned so much from him and he's genuinely a cool dude.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

It looks to be doing a good job, I’d wondered if it would have enough weight and traction, but it seems to be doing fine.

[@larryfisher5796]

Wow that little rig is NICE👍👍👍

[@guyh.4121]

It’s easier on hydraulics/electric motors if you “don’t” adjust the blade with a pile of snow on it. Also when on rough terrain/gravel set your plow on the ground then lift it up about an inch and you can avoid a rough drive or possible plow damage.

[@johnbibbings5356]

They are made to move the hydraulics with a blade full of snow. And instead of lifting the blade up how about using skid shoes that's what they designed them for. But with a rubber cutting edge he doesn't need them at all.

[@guyh.4121]

@@johnbibbings5356 ..I drove a snow plow for 30 years and saw what happens when hydraulics go. I also plowed on gravel back roads and found that actually letting the plow blade bounce saves you from landing in a ditch, or doing a 360 headed in the opposite direction. So, I know what I’m talking about. That little truck in this video could have fit in the box of my old truck.

[@johnbibbings5356]

@@guyh.4121 well hydraulics have improved immensely from 30yrs ago. I know you know what you are talking about now since you told me. Thanks 😂🤣

[@guyh.4121]

@@johnbibbings5356 …wow, you’re brilliant aren’t you. Well hydraulics haven’t changed much, considering I just retired 3 yrs ago. Got anything else you need help with? It’d be nice to show what experience you have, but somehow I kind of doubt you haven’t any.

[@stuartrinker]

We are anxiously waiting for our first real snow. Unfortunately it will be followed up by rain the day after. Going to make our almost mile section a royal pain in the rear.

[@daveschmidt5713]

Right-hand drive allows you to keep an eye on curb.

[@rcguymike]

Now you need to time your clearings using the mini dump, vs 1025, vs large tractor with shuttle shift, and vs medium 3/4R...could do a bunch of timelaspse videos and then some dialog overtop and in between on pros/cons etc. 👍 Then, maybe even then switch it all up and add blowers vs pushers vs plow and then heavy snowfalls vs light "daily" snowfalls...😅😁

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha oh boy!

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! This is so funny. Courtney maybe you can do another video on this. I have never in my 59 years seen a dealership for these little mini pickup trucks but there is a Used Car Dealer out in the rural area I pass by on the way to my cabin and he always has several used units out front for sale. I have no idea where they come from but they look like an option to have on your property for doing stuff. LOL. Of course, I am in Canada but I have no idea where they come from. :)) Thanks for the demo!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hehe, they come all the way from Japan Gord :) Not sure these folks ship north of the border, but they've got the states covered. Probably another importer or two up there. I'm sure we'll be doing some more videos! Hope you're well, looks like you've got your hands full up there!

Myself I was thinking of one but talking to people with the parts are a little hard to get quickly as well as Goverment Red tape you can't get a brand new one in Canada you have to buy a use one but they are a handy little truck you have to get used to the right hand drive and be careful passing cars with that right hand drive not being able to see what is coming at you when you pull out unless you mount a Camara on the front left hand side showing what is coming before you pull out into the left lane to pass ..

The Subaru Sambar engine is in the very rear of the Kei truck, just make sure you get the manual transmission in the Subaru

[@Rick-S-6063]

Is the actual truck a Daihatsu Hijet? That's what it looks like. But there's no doubt it can move a lot of snow.

Only problem with rubber cutting edge is it make ice on the surface the more you go over it

This may be a stupid question but, are these trucks street legal or are they considered an utv? Thanks!

Good question..These are sold as off-road use only per federal regulations. Beyond that, states or other municipalities may have different rules, but the Feds force them to sell as Off Road, like a UTV.

Street legal if they're over 25 y/o in the USA, or 15 years in Canada.
