FIRST SNOW PLOW RUN OF THE SEASON! ($$$ TO BE MADE!)

Today was the first snow plow run of 2021-2022! We had a quick 2-2.5" snow storm roll through, dropping some wet slushy snow from late Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Rob went one way to tackle the residential sidewalks and porches while I went the other way and plowed our commercial clients and parking lots. After I was done with those, we tidied up the residential driveways and doubled back home for some much needed sleep when we finished at 4am.
Did you guys get any plowable snow from this storm that zipped through? It was a great first snow storm for us to cut our teeth on for this season and make sure our systems are go for the next major snow event.

[@ecsmith15]

Great video! Love the truck, the advice and all the commentary! But I have to tell ya, throw some lubrication on that plow. Either grease or dry graphite grease would work to eliminate that squeaking when raising or lowering. Mine does it all the time, little spray here and there works wonders. And if you coat your plow with Pam or WD40 the wet heavy snow won’t stick to the plow and drop unexpectedly. Love the videos, keep up the awesome work!💪

[@greencomfortliving4909]

just did my first snow event ever. everything went well and i saw your Toro single stage years ago and i bought one for my sidewalks, best for sidewalks bar none

Get some string/wire or zip ties and tie those toro keys to the machine. I lost one in a storm and it was pretty frustrating having a blower down over something as simple as a little key.

[@joshuariggelsen6224]

I know you have seen many of the different pull plow options out there. Just my personal opinion but for next year snow plows season I'll be adding a 16' onto one of my two trucks. Add so much more efficiency without having to buy another truck and front plow nor the cost of an additional driver on your insurance.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

They are dope indeed, we’ll see about adding one!

[@joshuariggelsen6224]

[@flat4314]

On those snowblowers I'd recommend ziptie the red key to it so you dont lose it. I lost one during a snow storm and I had to use my sisters snowblower who lives about 20 miles away but ot took an hour each way with traffic.

Just flurries here in southern NY… I’m excited for the winter, hoping we get a decent amount of snow to make that $$ but also I picked up a season pass the NY ski mountains, hopefully I get at least 12 days on the mountains (hopefully more) Past few winters have been all work no fun, I wanna do a lot of skiing before I close out the business (for now) and head off to college.

[@Yeti573]

Our first snow event this year was a douse with 22 inches of wet snow on Oct. 13. All that snow was gone in 1 week. We never had any flooding because we were so dry. Since then, we really haven't had any snow, its mainly been rain.

Our first snow fall this season in Alberta Canada was 2 feet snow, and I inch ice under neath it from rain. Some sidewalks snow to your knees, and 80klm/hr wind storm. When have to use snow plow on sidewalks cause snow blowers couldn't handle the hard solid snow drifts.

[@Dale.Nienow]

Great video Brain, I am out plowing snow as we speak 2 inches of wet heavy snow, and I am salting because it is going to get down to 25 so it is going to refreeze tonight!

[@412psekustomzllc7]

All those lights are imported from overseas so they should all be just as bright as each other at night. Ofcoarse I would recommend going to a dealer/installer that sells/installs lights that are by US employees rather than overseas sweatshops. But Ofcoarse as an upfitter that only sells/installs US made equipment that would be my recommendation.

plowing with the leaf box is epic lol :)

[@jandblawncare8570]

Our first run of the season couldn't have went better! 1-3" Friday into Saturday so quiet a few commercials were closed so no real rush, no residential crap to plow and basically done snowing by 4-5 am. We usually get hammered with lake effect and for the past few seasons our first storms have been in the double digits and have started early morning so this was a nice change.

[@vtoutdoors3272]

Should trade your dump insert in for the stainless saltdogg. Can put a tailgate replacement spreader on it

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Nah, if I was going to salt I'd just go all in with an HSPE2000 or VBX.

Just wondering - Have you done a video on the lighting package you have installed on the FX4? Was it a kit, piecemeal, custom, manufacturer - that sort of thing?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

We did! Search Route 1 Industries, they did a whole setup on our rig. It turned out amazing.

[@zebossxa2794]

We always got 2 people per truck because heart attacks happen to shovelers all the time very dangerous to be out in the cold sweating alone.

[@boush1254]

i snowplowed for the first time last year and it went really well (i was 17 at the time) i was just wondering when plowing residentials if you clear the driveway to the point where it’s completely clear or do you just let the sun clear the rest? Also, what do you do when there’s thick ice where you are plowing? Lastly, what should I do when the truck can’t push the snow when going through the driveway (the snow builds up too much and I guess becomes too heacy) ? (I plow with a 2014 2500 gasser with a boss v-plow)

[@boush1254]

When the truck isn’t able to push the snow anymore i’m finding myself spending way too much time on a driveway attempting to shovel most of it

[@patrickmccallen2811]

Will the toro stage 1 snowblower do a good job with wet snow or would you need to upgrade to stage 2 to get the wet snow done?

[@cory5157]

It actually isn’t too bad at all, I’ve done lots of slush and run the same one. Won’t blow it out as far but couple passes and it definitely moves it!

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

I havent tried this myself but someone recently told me they bought a cheap truck mud flap from an auto parts store and cut it up into strips. Then fastened the strips to the snow blower paddles so they were closer to the ground. Performed much better and got a much better clean with the wet slushy snow!

[@peersupportcounselor1904]

[@zacharykinglovesyou2212]

I’m in southeast Ohio… no snow for awhile lol

How do you handle your subcontractors for snow removal and for lawn care/spraying of yards do you pay them directly or do they bill your customers?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

They bill us monthly, we have net 30.

[@plowboy6636]

so for residentials , what is it per driveway? I do only commercial and most I bill monthly and do plowing and salting. which I separate or bill together depending on what type of snow or ice only. today was ice melt only for instance. Anyway like your channel and look forward to the videos
