Hardcore snow blowing 6 foot deep snow drifts with the massey ferguson 4609

Today I did a 3ish km driveway where the snow drifts are 5 to 6 feet deep in some spots, way higher than the snow blower. this is what I did (with my MK martin meteor 7 foot, single auger snow blower)

[@lorknozzel11]

no idea why youtube recommended this to me ( 3 years after it was posted lol ) but man did that look like fun! i think it would be hard to call doing that work. i mean, i would still call it work, cause i would not want folks think i was playing. but honestly, really, i would be playing, lol.

[@rickb9238]

I think I would have called the closest airport and ask for their snowblower. That was a hell of a lot of snow and the drifts were awesome.👍👍

[@harrisonfowler4461]

This is totally kickass. That's a sweet rig

[@karlk6860]

THIS would be my excuse for a really nice used OshKosh 2206 blower truck!! One pass then just keep driving to town for breakfast!

[@bobporter1681]

Listen to all the pros out there awesome you guys know so much just by watching vid

[@g1up1our1r]

I will add this man is trying real hard , to good for family . That is a good thing.

[@smokum0]

Weld or bolt on pieces of flat bar going up on both sides of the blower to cut down the taller drifts

[@stephenjones6446]

I would agree, it would help to bring the engine rpm up a little. It doesn't look like your throwing the snow very far. 90 hp tractor should be sending that snow 75 ft or more. Curious what is your rpm in this video?

[@Mike-bk5yc]

Your blower is doing and awesome job wow

[@stargatepepsi]

That's because your using the shoot it is restricting the flow of snow. If your blower has a bail unit you should use it. It's the drum underneath the shoot it rotates left to right and it will fire the snow 3 times the distance

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Thos reminds me of the winter of 77-78 growing up in the Midwest...

[@ernestmorales1023]

Now I know why I was born and live in Texas ! 🤣 I mowed my yard sunday in 70 degrees weather .😂

[@chasefreedom5178]

I don't know everything....but that is slow going...Nothing will make good time through that much snow.

[@TheLittlered1961]

Very impressive. I know that this will not help for the first pass. Have you thought about putting on some knives on the edges? Very easy to do. Get some straight 1/4 x 2 inch stock and drill some holes and mount it at about 30 degrees. let it stick out about 2 to 3 feet. Makes second pass much easier. Look at the big boys, this is how they do it. I know, I use to run one.

[@AlexLindley-u5f]

Looks a Great Blower for up to 3 feet but will deal with deeper with perseverence

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

Question why does the tractor beep when going backward is it due to traction or the blower struggling ?? Few time in video your working one beep ??

[@awalt26439]

Rear mounted blades and /or blowers are a big pain in the butt but they beat shoveling.

[@noworriesmate5903]

December 19, 2023 he's still blowing snow.

[@derricklowe2823]

What state is this in ? Where is this ?

[@Stevesmith-di5ke]

You could use some driff cutters on it

[@colinarnold1248]

you did well with that 90 horse tractor

[@g-manmuthatrucka2488]

back when i was a kid...we walked to school BOTH ways through snow deeper than that!!! We left at 3 in the morning and got home at midnite... then we had to scoop that snow WITH OUR HANDS!!!!

[@noworriesmate8287]

G-man you must have went the same school I did.

[@raincoast2396]

We had wrap barbed wire around our feet for traction!

[@disneydad1000]

There are no illegal migrants in Mexico . Once they reach the US border they declare themselves . That is their right . Nothing illegal about that . Daaaaaaa

Those trees are gonna do you in every year

[@markwegner6100]

No snow fencing?

[@johncvfd]

what did you film this with? Brand/model of camera?

[@raymondj8768]

thats one hell of a long driveway lol

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

..I remember seeing wooden snowfences put up and taken down every year up here...

[@tfhummer]

Any reason your running 1600 rpm instead of the rated 2k rpm for 540?

[@wishusknight3009]

To not burn the clutch up.

[@MartyChristianSoldier]

I'm just curious, why do you wait until you get that much? I would think it would be much easier on the machine if you went out and cleared when you have a foot or 2, not to mention it would probably actually take less time.

[@MikeSmith-uj9tu]

Wouldn't make a video then

[@gaugebrady5416]

Nice tractor

[@dsciarrino3663]

Sweet.

[@markg.2501]

Had You checked the duration of the storm, you could have hit at the half way mark which would have been much easier then again when it as all done.

[@mikezahnow1605]

How are you going to do that when the wind is strong in white out conditions and can't see anything. Use your head!

[@DF5152]

Whats the beeping noise?

[@bradolsen9981]

Dude where is your video that you were talking about the next big video

[@miman-ck9jv]

Looks like you should have started around midnight

[@kellybelanger5836]

A bull dozer job

[@SF-fm7ov]

I watched for 1 minute but the video motion was dizzying.

[@bd8026]

Charge the county back for plowing roadway

[@thomasjsanford4369]

That's his driveway..

[@ValcoBayrunner]

So thats where all my columbian cocaine went 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rickoliver5684]

or get a larger snowblower!!!

[@American_Made]

damn global warming.

[@wishusknight3009]

Damn indeed, the extreme weather patterns are getting more and more extreme.

[@jeanbizot2974]

When snow is higher than the blower reduce forward speed nearly to zero and let the blower to work

[@deernutOO]

Make a video without the bad language..

[@DavidMartinez-ft5rc]

I wish you would have recorded the whole thing. I can sit here and watch this for hours.

[@Rightwinger1982]

Need to rev to at least pto speed. That tractor should be screaming It wants to stall the tractor he says!!!

[@wishusknight3009]

The reverse gears on those things arn't really low enough for this. I think he was trying to avoid burning out his clutch.

[@brucebannerman6848]

It always surprises me that there are so many experts out there.

[@World-as-i-c-it]

And on every subject under the sun!

[@jimmyray4153]

Yeah, I liked how he made a snow fence for the next windy snowfall.

[@ML-lg4ky]

Get a camera and you become an expert!

[@cowshottv5867]

They watch 2 videos and know everything about how tractors and blowers function, despite not having left their moms house for weeks

[@Mike-bk5yc]

Dang dude where do you live where you get a dumping like that wow

[@netdragon2003]

Now I remember why I purchased a front mount snowblower!

[@Farmboy1544]

Nice job. This is the first snow blowing video on youtube where the stated height of snow, 5 feet, actually looks like 5 feet of snow.

[@bdawg8907]

Title says 6 feet of snow but who’s counting 😂

[@wayneyork6282]

Without that tractor and blower you'd be staying home awhile , a long while. Thanks for sharing !

[@jambocoo]

Wow, man I love plowing snow, but that right there would have wore me out quick. Hats off to ya for a nice job. Thanks for sharing.

[@Subie-Driver]

Damn...that’s my kind of snow removal...watching this is like staring into a fire...can’t look away

[@ttank1994]

Looks like a snow fence would be worth your time in the fall.

[@johnmccall8788]

I always wanted to use a Versatile/NH Bi-directional tractor on a snowblower like this so you could be facing which way you were going and you would have hydro-drive so you could control your speed.

[@lfeco]

Lucky you have a nice rig to open the road.

[@Redhackle]

Was going to get an inverted snow blower but this reminded me that it would be a mistake. Thanks.

[@hirofuji]

Good. Video distribution. Please watch if you like.Thank you.

[@Mike-bk5yc]

The town should pay you but I coild see their greedy selves part of the government saying were not giving you squat and its not our job to make sure that road is cleared then make some lame exscuse why I just see the tiwn council or whatever saying that to you. The USA is screwed

[@andyfunke9484]

All I can think of is the Jimmy Hendrix song, Break on Through to the Other Side. Lol Funny thing is I do plowing and blowing snow for a living in the winter. I just love it, it's almost therapeutic. My wife tells people that I get so excited when it starts to snow, that I'm like a new puppy that's about to wet the floor. Well she not far from wrong.

[@bradh74]

Some days I wish I lived in the country where I needed to use one of those, but I got older and am kind of glad I don't, maybe one day I will again but you have to have the money to get the equipment you need to take care of yourself. If that tractor struggled a garden tractor you'd be there all day.

[@kdmq]

Snowblowing while backing up is always a pain in the neck (pun intended)

[@roadking8337]

Dude bust it up with loader first then blow it . Can always cleanup behind tractor busting up with loader. You be there till spring

[@rockymtndieselrider1133]

Heck yeah dude! One of my favorite Massey/snow videos yet! I had to do the same this spring when I purchased my 1740/75" snow blower. This gets me excited for winter. Subscribed. I'll be making similar videos also. Thanks

[@rachael9372]

WOULD BE A LOT EASIER WITH A TRUCK WITH A SPLIT PLOW THEN BLOWER MAKING A MESS AND YOU GOING OVER AND OVER.

[@Mik-mk8us]

That's not how you blow snow. U do like I do. Hot cup of tea ,and watch a kid run the tractor

[@Rollingcalamities]

Put ur shoot up n let the wind take it wont be so hard to push snow out I worked on airbases blowing snow of course I had oshkoshs to work with but let that machine work for u

[@markaraujo06]

you need a giant 3 stage high snowblower big heavy tractor that don't need to reverse & foward.just drive straight through in slow move.

[@kellybelanger5836]

Buy him one

[@Rollingcalamities]

Install drift cutters on both side of ur box n turn up the rpms an let it eat stop babying that machine let it eat n throw that snow

[@jordanwoodcock7498]

should definitely get a dual auger for drifts like that lot easier

[@joeyshofner639]

It’s always a great feeling when you conquer your mountains. Great job!

[@michaelvantuinen503]

the town should pay you for fuel that you used on your tractor cause you didn't have to do this but good man

[@jbrannum]

I am very impressed. You did a bang up job. I just have a Aries rapidtrak, but I like throwing it a bit further. Great job!!

[@curtb.9450]

I would have put the tip of that shoot all the way up to get the snow to go further out

[@jimmyray4153]

What is wrong with making a snow fence pile of snow in a strategic location?

[@brucebannerman6848]

It always surprises me that there are so many experts out there.

[@ldeshner]

This is the road from my ranch and why I go to Yuma in the winter now

[@justmarcin8555]

I dont want to sound offenssive, but did it cost a lot of fuel?

[@roadking8337]

Gess i would have pushed alot of it off with loader first. I am sure. She could push alot of snow

[@robrourke5197]

This is why I live in Florida. Did a good job clearing that up though.

[@wishusknight3009]

Naw man, the snow in Florida sucks ass.

[@mib20000]

my neck hurts watching this ., kool blower though

[@kingdotsize86]

that was oddly satisfying,, i could have watched the entire cleaning effort,, ended up watching the vid over again, i have a international 2500 b series with am IH-80 blower

[@bmxr765]

time to weld up a snow bucket for the loader

[@kennethschultz6465]

On my 2 stage ALPINE(CANADIAN) 65cm wide 100cm. High Snow blower .. i mounted on the EXISTING side cutters a Triangel at eatch side to make IT higher .. and a 35° cross plate to get the 1.6m drifts suked in to the blower ..

[@markdent4052]

Give me a shovel and a case beer 😂😂😂😂

[@whiteout1962]

Heck with all them deep banks .....I would have just made a trail in the field

[@redc5243]

fine job what is that drive like in 2020

[@twocentproductions5326]

I would just wait for spring!

[@michelguimond929]

You should have a front mounted snow blower, less hard on the neck.

[@zfilmmaker]

Michel Guimond not everybody has front lifting arms and why buy one of those expensive PTO adapters to run one up front? Your talking big money cause that requires a front mount blower too.

[@jeramyevely3339]

Not to mention the extra cost of the blower...but they are cool

[@MJ12283]

The front mount blower for my tractor was twice the cost of the 3-point blower. And, with the 3-point blower, you still get to have your front end loader, which can come in handy.

[@zfilmmaker]

@@MJ12283 You got that right! I couldn't believe how much more. Last year I sold my Deere tractors and switched to Fendt. I ordered all of them with front PTO's. I also sold my Deere HX20 mower to my neighbor, so after shopping mowers I decided to buy Schulte. They also make blowers which made my Deere rear mount look like junk. I decided to sell it which oddly sold for practically what I paid new. I did take care of it, I power wash my blower and snow wing and spray them with used hydraulic oil so they don't rust in summer. A 20 year used blower selling for almost new is absurd. Anyway, nothing prepared me for the sticker shock of the Schulte RDX-117. Last year we had a 17", 33" and 19" snow storms and I never missed having a loader, in fact I only used my HLA snow wing once.

[@t3g3lst3n]

I moved my rear 3p blower to front loader, was to annoying to go reverse as only have one gear in reverse and it was to fast...

[@michaelvantuinen503]

where do you live goodnight you in buffalo

[@chrisdeweese4355]

How come nobody adds "Snow guide" boards on top of blower(for drifts)?

[@TractorsNStuff]

I'm thinking of getting a snow blower. I get about 4ft of snow per winter. I'd prefer 6. :P

[@g1up1our1r]

If shot the snow higher you will not see mounds . That is a good thing , you will not be creating a big ass valley for snow to drop in when the wind is blowing. Just a country boy 58

[@robsteves573]

Nice vid bro! Love seeing that big snow... keep them coming thanks

[@bloajmj2680]

Might be less snow to move in the field

[@roadking8337]

500 or 1000 Rpm blower ?? It works

[@michaelvantuinen503]

anyway you can post the whole thing?

[@dirkadirka5395]

78" Meteor? Looks like mine!

[@rollandriehn6404]

needs something for the drifts. Cheapest option is drift cutters. more expensive option would be mount the blower inplace of the bucket for easier manuvering. Kinda like the Bobcat UTV does.

[@chronically.advocating]

Are those direct drive snowblowers or do they use a piston drive motor. Also how many GPM does it take to run those.
