1:11 what make is your snoe blower? .... it seems to work much better then a lot i have seen!!... i Presume its ls but model no. and size please thanks from saskatchewan canada

[@timadamany]

So glad I have a Ventrac with a front-mounted snow blower. This would kill my back turning around all day.

[@billdebuhr6456]

When I did snow years ago we would clean the blades and blower chutes and spray them with Pam cooking spray. We rarely had a build up and the snow rolled off.

[@Jeg_er_tyk_og_grim]

get yourself some sno-jet,by ariens i use it on my units, pretty sure its what Clark W. Grizwold put on his snow saucer

[@smcnish1droid]

I loved how the rear mounted blower just laughed at the plowed snow in the entry to the parking lot. As a kid I remember hand shoveling the end of our driveway through stuff like that.

[@rods3275]

I live between Erie and Buffalo right off the 90 and we got over 3 foot of snow

[@kingwood4357]

Nice to see you finally getting to use your snowblower and tractor and making a few dollars is a big plus.

[@131dyana]

Your work for local businesses is so nice. So glad we do not live where it snows. God bless.

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

To complete your tractor/blower you need a flashing light up on top or side of the cab roof and a hydraulic cylinder or electric actuator to be able to adjust the blower chute from the cab. More safety and ease of operation to enjoy your work. 👍. Great video. 💐

[@ddelano7408]

I have a rear mounted snowblower on my LX3310. I mounted a wide angle mirror inside at the top of the windshield so I don't have to be sideways in the seat all of the time. I had a rear snowblower and an atv plow mounted to the bucket of my BX2200 and am going to buy a plow for the LX3310 this year. A plow doesn't leave the windrows you end up with when using a bucket.

[@billy1673]

Man, I miss these winters! When I was a kid, we lived just outside Chicago from ‘72 to ‘78 and this was common weather for us!🥶❄️🌨☃️🎄🎅🏻

[@australianlawnfanatics3535]

Day 6 of summer, it’s been +90*f since mid November and I’m watching snow removal.

[@everettt8301]

Everybody has to be someplace.

[@billy1673]

Is there anywhere in Australia that gets any snow?

[@australianlawnfanatics3535]

@ yes definitely. The great dividing range that runs down our east coast gets lots of snow in the southern parts of the state New South Wales and into northern Victoria. Usually June through to September is the ski season.

[@robk1310]

Got a spare room? I’ll pay rent 👍🏼😎

[@timothyolson1341]

This might be my favorite of yours ever. You working hard and living the American dream and giving people a service that helps them is inspiring.

[@bioniclife]

That tractor, PTO mounted blower, worked extremely well. Being able to "place" snow, especially this early in the season, is a bigger deal than some can appreciate. We had an 8' mounted on a John Deere 4230 when I was in high school. It was when we had long, snowy winters. Oil well site plow guys started the season with straight pushes into the oil well drives. After a few weeks, pickups and tankers couldn't get off the road. Dad got a contract to chew through the frozen piles (breaking a lot of shear-pins) and reclaim driveway space. He never said what he made, but he always said he would love to do it again. Even though the road salt started rotting the fenders of the tractor in subsequent years. 👍

[@davidvalletta2755]

The setup is amazing no doubt. But I was worried about road salt as well. I’d be pressure washing it down on the first day above zero.

[@sk00t3r8]

Very Impressive.. living in a NON snow location its great to see this.. Thank you

[@vrijvolk]

The pond is filling up nicely

[@samanthahancox8726]

Patiently waiting for a pond update! Looks like she’s close to full!!

[@klausswartz3369]

Have you tried affixing a piece of 2” pvc to the bottom “scraper” edge of your 3 point blower? It greatly minimizes the amount of gravel or stones that you pump out through your impeller.

[@antiochman8222]

If there were 2 of you working both machines then the little blower would get you finished faster tidying up after the tractor cleared the bulk.

[@petenelson8136]

I bet your feeling it in your back, at least I do when I spend the day looking back at the implements (snowblower in our case). You both did a nice job getting all those folks cleaned out so they can get out of there homes/businesses.

[@LorisSawmill]

It's a cold snap here in South Carolina, upper teens at night and 40s for highs, but it only lasts a few days and we're back to the 60s and 70s next week. Fortunately it rarely snows here.

[@BryanPoulsen]

We just use an angled blade on the rear of the tractor. It works great because in deep snow we just reverse to move large amounts of heavy snow. And for light snow we can just drive forward and and scrap the snow and have it roll out to the side. It is a simple set up, but works great.

[@GrassRootOutdoorWork]

The snow was FEET taller than the typical moldboard.

[@stevekucharek7299]

I could watch this stuff for hours.😅. Plowed snow commercially here in Detroit for over 35 yrs. We never got hit that hard with 2'-4' of snow while l was plowing but pulled many 32-40 straight hours of plowing non stop. Having the snow thrower on the back of your tractor is the ultimate set up.

[@gnillut]

Front facing rear mounted two stage blower, behind a tractor. No more problems.

[@barbaratheillustrator02484]

awww...nice to see snow plowing. My Dad plowed snow from the 70's into the late 90's. I live in Australia these days, but originally from NW Indiana... nothing like lake effect snow. Kind of miss it. Thanks for sharing. I hope there is another snow plow vid. Cheers.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I bet that snowblower could mix up one hell of an adult slushie 😂

[@benjaminwilliams3568]

Snow chains for the tires added grip is what's needed. That big storage facility looks like a problem without chains on the tires.

[@robk1310]

That’s about the same amount of snow we got here in Syracuse. I have a 26” commercial grade simplicity two stage snowblower I do my driveway with. It’s a beast.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good job 👍 We got 48" of snow in 24 hours a few years ago and farmers with their equipment were heroes the next few days afterwards.

[@PaulGoplen]

Adam, nice setup. I use the same setup, Front loader and rear blower on my JD 1025. I am in Minnesota, not always but the potential for lots of snow is a definite possibility and it has happened. The only suggestion to you is maybe a slightly wider blower so your tractor is not driving in unblown snow. Keep up the good videos. Love the variety.

[@BobEstler]

Thanks Adam, I really liked tis one. Hope you have some time to set up the sledding hill for the kids this year. Take time to have some fun too.

[@Thunderst0rn]

What a machine, blue power 💪 having a hydrostat for this type of work is a dream

[@crickettjd]

Always love seeing something new; keep them coming!!! Y'all be careful out there!!!

[@BissellMapleFarm]

Thanks for helping out Ashtabula County! You pretty much need a loader with snow that deep.

[@Shane_Reynolds85]

This storm was crazy...we didn't get the worst of it the first round, but on Thursday and Friday, we got 24" in Titusville. We worked 28 hours in 2 days to keep up.

[@EuroYardService]

So awesome to see this equipment finally put to the test and helping others 😊

[@zfilmmaker]

I went and did the same thing for a friend in Northern PA, he and all his rural road neighbors paid me $6k to do their road and driveways so i trucked up my Fendt 939 with Schulte front PTO blower up there. On the drive up I second guessed my choice of tractor, I thought I should have brought my 724 cause it has a loader and use my older rear mount blower but the 939 ended up being the right choice… there was so much snow including drifts (6’ in some places), it was just sheer power I needed to move that much snow. It’s intense how much snow is there and is still falling. If I stayed, I probably could have made $40k in a week but I’ve got cattle to feed.

[@Beachwriter]

Well done, Adam, making snow removal so interesting for someone who can’t tolerate cold weather.

[@trcass1]

nice job. the right equipment makes all the difference. i thought about a snow pusher but saw the bucket was doing just fine. thanks for sharing.

[@larrycutting4514]

On some of my Alaska projects, we had "snow buckets" made to move larger volume in single pass where your dirt bucket filled up and left snow.

[@davidt_canucks]

Having the right tools and equipment always makes the work smoother, no matter the job. Great video.

[@m2hmghb]

Growing up we got 28 inches of snow in around 36 hours. I'm in NJ - it was from a Nor Easter. No school for a week, they had to break out front end loaders to push the snow back farther on the streets. Heck there was snow in piles in July. I shoveled 4 driveways that time - by hand. Growing up in the 90s was fun.

[@berthongo8531]

I have a 1025R with a front mount blower and I drag a blade in the back. I clear out our development here in Cheyenne, which consists of approximately two miles of gravel road. It works well for me (Maybe not everyone. You know the whole coke/pepsi, ford/chevy thing.). I run the blower about three inches high to minimize the thrown stones and the rear blade is swung around to just drag a couple of more inches off. But man-o-man, I do not have a cab. It gets freakin' cold. They used to have a guy remove our snow with a skid loader. Just like you said, rock and torn up grass everywhere. The HOA has offered to kick in some cash but I refuse them because as soon as I take money, people are going to start critiquing my work. Better to be that crazy neighbor that everyone shakes their head at. But man that cab looked cozy. Might have to convene the finance committee and maybe look at some blue or red machines.

[@DDL2728]

I thought that - bet Adam's neck hurts at the end of the day!! Y'all did a great job!! 👍 God bless y'all & keep y'all safe. ♥️🙏♥️

[@Dorchwoods]

The snowblower attachment works awesome. I actually switched to just using an oversized XL material bucket + some edge tamers, I can move massive piles of snow here in Maine with this setup. And I don't have to always look backwards. I think that would have worked really well in this situation

[@JanBruunAndersen]

Snow = Manna from heaven.

[@benc2947]

Your buddy should be following you with his SxS and a salt thrower laying some salt down. Those lots would be perfect and your work would speak for itself. You’d be getting more customer calls than you could handle.

[@paulprigge1209]

They’re figuring it out. You have to remember this is a dude that had to rebuild a pond maybe three times because he wouldn’t listen.

[@GrassRootOutdoorWork]

We had that in the works. The issue was moving the equipment around.

[@AStanton1966]

There's a hack to make the snowblowers work better in heavy wet snow. You take parts of a truck mud flop and attach them to opposite sides of the throwing impellor to increase the tolerance between the chute and the impellor. I installed it on my Meteor 60" 3pt hitch blower on the back of my Kubota. You can do it as well on smaller blowers.

[@ironleatherwood]

Great job, your pond looks well also.

[@Tdale85]

Good morning Adam! Try spraying the chutes with cooking spray. Reduced my clogging on my 60” blower significantly.

[@LorisSawmill]

chutes

[@thedrumssayyes]

As I watch this, living in the same area as you, we now have snow here. Haha

[@billh2735]

Very slick Adam. The right tool for the right job. We got our first one inch of measurable snow last night here. Stay safe healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township

[@Camping814]

I used my ATV with a blade for a couple of years, but went back to a snowblower to avoid the large hard compacted piles and tore up grass. We've got 3' and it still coming down.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

I'm glad we're finally starting to get some snow here! The LS with the big blower did a nice job on that deep snow. It's hard to believe how much difference in snow accumulation there is just 20-30 minutes north.

[@theracinghotel]

I'm impressed you ls did am amazing job especially impressed with how it handled the plow ridges by the street and the snow roll you got with just a bucket. That thing needs a Pusher and it would be an unbeatable little package

[@ericbrinson9741]

A blower really is the only tool for the job in that situation. I have a 7’ blower I use on my open station 55hp kioti. I only use it once every couple years but when we get a big snow fall it sure does a nice clean job

[@marciam6224]

We live on the west side of MI and haven't had much snow the past few years (ever since I got my hubby a bigger snowblower) and we've had about 10'" of wet heavy snow in the past few days. I love watching videos of people plowing snow so even though I don't usually don't sub after one video, I did with yours. lol

[@trigonx1]

Great job Adam, love to see the hustle.

[@stromxtc2033]

Haha, that snow ain't no joke.. Love watching all my Pennsylvania tubers. South TX

[@danielyoder5928]

We got between 12 and 18 inches of snow yesterday north of 322 in Vernon Township, west of Meadville. Had about 3 to 4" on the ground before.

[@blzt3206]

For years i used a 95 svl kubota with a 6 foot wide blower and after that i got a 18 foot hydraulic snow wing and that setup was both very efficient for large lots and we could still get those contracts that required snow to be thrown over fences etc. Was mostly for pipeline lease clearing in the winter up here in Canada.

[@TheFiremanJoe]

I’m in NE Washington State. We haven’t had any plowable snow….

[@jfitz9624]

That’s an awesome setup with the snow blower on the tractor, but I can’t imagine you’re neck would be happy after running that for any length of time let alone 12+ hrs or more as many people do when clearing snow after a storm. I would install a backup camera. Pretty cheap on amazon and easy to install. I did one in my skid loader over a year ago and it’s still working great.

[@lifeinbuyck]

for deep snow here I use my high flow skid steer with an erskine snowblower. Its the bees knees and you have no banks to deal with. A lot slower but you will always have trade offs.

[@jbbrown7907]

In the 70s in New Hampshire, after several years of deep snowpack, I bought the biggest two stage walk behind snow blower I could find. I used that blower three times in the next two years. We just stopped getting the big snows. I sold the snow blower and lost my shirt on the deal Then wouldn't you k ow it, we started getting snow measured by the feet instead of inches.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

I liked how you described the different methods worked for you (or didn’t) as well as the advantages of the snowblower over fishbone push methods.

[@jessehagenbeck2624]

I so wish I was out there with you guys a got a tractor this year with a 84 inch snowblower and I’m just itching to use it watching this video a bunch of times dreaming about moving snow with my own tractor

[@richardeustice1010]

That’s pretty handy… if you should happen to slip and fall in to the blower, the artificial limb joint is right next door!!😂

[@GrassRootOutdoorWork]

The irony was not lost on us!

[@RB66_]

🤣🤣

[@C_J_81]

On blacktop use your hydraulic top link to tip out your blower so you can dig in your blower to scrape better without adjusting the shoes.

[@nmancini]

Yes the ideal setup is a pusher on the front with blower on the back. I like the little different content

[@gregpavone8485]

Greg from Bradford Pa, we have been hammered with 40+ inches the past couple days. We need a Ventrac to face forward.

[@lifeinbuyck]

a big snow bucket would be a perfect combo for the tractor.

[@alvalonline]

We just missed the 5 to 6 feet of snow that hit just south of us in Upstate New York. We only got a few inches, which is unusual since most of the time, we get westerly winds blowing snow right over us from Lake Ontario. And you're right, a blower like yours is far superior to a plow blade. We've got a nice neighbor who plows our 1500' drive for just $50, but the mess he has to make to do it lasts all year round (plowed up dirt and gravel pushed off into the fields and our yard.) Quote me a price for doing ours! We'd love to have ya over for a visit....

[@jimwiskus8862]

Wow, that is snow! I don’t envy the folks out there. It will be beautiful during Christmas for sure. All the best to you and your family and of course, neighbor Doug. Hope you guys have a greatest Christmas possible and it’s it’s great to see you out make an extra money as well and at the same time helping others.

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ericklingele661]

I hope you made a video of the storage unit snow removal. It looks epic!!

[@JasperFromMS]

That's amazing. We don't have snowblowers here. We just have one big yellow snowplow we keep in the sky. Admittedly, it doesn't do well under the trees.

[@timkd5vmv583]

I bought a cab tractor with snow skids and it works great. It works so well we haven’t had any snow since I bought it.

[@als8326]

If you raise your front and loader bucket up in the air and put a safety device on the hydraulic ram to hold it there, you can drive around with your bucket in the air as long as it’s not taller than a tractor trailer and then you could still use your dump trailer

[@jimconnor8274]

Interesting video. Afront blower you could use the trailer you have. The loader only makes dangerous sight blocking banks. If you raise shoes for blacktop clearing. It'll clear everything in one pass. A no bank driveway and lot. Will be an added selling point. Adam you may need to find a small winter home in that snow belt area. To capitalize on your new found cash crop!

[@robertmccall8666]

We got 4 feet last weekend in Canada. We have had three snow days today so no school buses for the kids ... Expecting 50cm tonight .... Blah ... I hate winter I'm running a kioti 2610 with a blower on the back and a push blade I had made 60" for the front with trip springs ... Spray your blower with silicone spray .. I have feet on my blower also as it rides nicer ... Flashing orange strobe you need for the roads and I used orange 36 markers on the edge of my equipment helps me get right up so I'm not guessing how close I am trying to see the blade or blower

[@JD-ce4so]

This is why you get a a loader with a snow blade and do multiple rounds of cleaning during the storm.

[@crazyman3157]

I totally agree about a snow blower vs a plow Adam. Blowers spread the snow out and move it further away thus no piles. Additionally at a commercial job and where visibility is needed by the roads, the lower the pile the better. If you get a chance, check out Stanley “Dirt Monkey” Genadek, he is in Minnesota and runs a landscape/snow plow company. In one of his videos he talks about how bigger is not always better when it comes to snow plowing equipment and all other sorts of plowing related topics from tracks to tires, plows for trucks, back blades, etc. all that as well as landscaping stuff. Stay safe and warm, make some extra cash and maybe you can justify a bigger trailer for your LS work horse. Great tractor and awesome set up for snow removal. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mike.the.estimator704]

At first in the start of the video, I thought you got a goose neck for your 150 and thought.... this is going to be like one of those meme's with the frames snapping in half! But then I thinking of Wranglerstar out is Washington state and he has a Cat skid steer with the 2 stage like yours and was thinking I like that better mainly being forward facing 100% of the time since I have back issues, that would be better. But HOLY TOLITO Batman!! that lot looked good when you scraped it with the bucket for the whole 5 minutes, until it was covered again. If I lived in the North East or areas susceptible to lake effect snow, I would really look into a setup like this. But I am in NC and we had our first sight of snow in the Charlotte Metro Tuesday in just about 3 years... I think the tally was 1,063 days or something per WCNC. I had about an 1" they called out school for the day and had a 2 hour delay the following day as well! It was about 98% gone by Noon as well. Now all you need is a Coffee/ Hot Chocolate maker in the tractor and you will be set!!!

[@Garrett572xpg]

Skidsteer with push blade is nice for fluffy snow. Wet compacted slush u are better off with a 7 or 8ft bucket or big snow blower attachment on high flo cab Skidsteer. Used to shovel and snowblow sidewalks for like 15 apartment complexs. Alot of sweat and hardwork for only $14/ hr - taxes to pay for college. You Could get a salter attachment for your utv and charge extra for salting business lots

[@joebob-h1u]

Watch out Adam... Snowplowing is addictive! I've been doing it since '98!

[@HometownAcres]

It is. You can definitely make a lot of money quick

[@speciald300]

That blower works awsome! You should look anti a HLA snow blade for the front, i have one on my Bobcat 2025 and it is awsome! The snow blade and blower would be the perfect snow setup on your LS

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@nothing2loud]

I used to spray my blade with pam cooking spray and it would help some. Maybe it would help with the snow blower chute.

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

As ever Josh you're looking for opportunities - well done

[@jeffdutton2500]

One additional thing to do with your snow equipment is spay it with non stick cooking spray and see how well that snow leaves your equipment.

[@marcdesrosiers4312]

Snow pusher and that blower you can get any job done Great video

[@JimDavidson-tb7qv]

I have a similar size tractor and I much prefer the 72” bucket to the pusher box. Wet/sticky snow or long driveways are an issue for the box. Try one before spending your money.

[@LorisSawmill]

Lower the outlet, "rooster tails" look pretty, but just scatter the snow, you want to keep it more horizontal.

[@bobsethbroc]

Awesome video. Making a killing with the blower.

[@jaywuchner9342]

I sure don't miss snow days.

[@JeffButera]

This is why a snowblower beats a plow any day of the week.

[@C_J_81]

On everything but speed for light snowfalls. I love and have a blower but a plow is faster on a light snow.

[@Cambridgeshire-m1x]

What a great friend . Great video thankyou keep walm and keep safe god bless

[@goodlucktrying21]

You initially took a knife to a gun fight but in the end you leveled the playing field 👍

[@lifeontherez]

It snowed and stayed cold for a week or 2 over here, but all of a sudden, this week has just been abnormally warm and the snow was gone in one day. It's definitely nice for firewood, though 😂 be safe and stay deadly

[@danielberry9610]

Great snow removal video! Nice setup.

[@ProductiveRecreation]

The downside of the 3 point snowblower is working in reverse… but the huge plus is having the loader available, no doubt about it!
