Skidsteer plow

[@davidfarnsworth2901]

While other Utubers have some goofy entertainment value, I love watching Jesse because of his hard work ethic and to see all that he has accomplished at such a young age. Good job Jesse!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Absolutely! Agree 100%

[@green-zone36]

Thank you for taking us along on this project. Putting a truck plow on a quick connect, for your skidsteer.

[@pmiller7886]

That is a slick setup for sure, you have enough property that it's a wise man's setup. Why beat up a pick ups front end when a skid steer will do a better job. That snow don't even bother a skid steer. 👍

[@tomdale1313]

Pearl is very loved and has a good family, txs for sharing...

[@silverdollar6548]

Ingenuity and survivalist at its finest, obviously no grass ever grew under your feet. Enjoyed this vid very much. Thank you.

[@DingleyDell]

Always good to see redundant equipment being returned to use, requires some time/effort but it saves money and it'll probably last for many more seasons. If snow season is over, guess it's time to start on the upper floor framing.

[@firewalker1372]

12 years old and that pup has still got it…. Man what would we do without dogs…. Great friends.

[@johnsmith-sw7ii]

Great Deal! Probably would cost the $400 to have all that area plowed anyway...so every time you use it now its money in the bank...Good job Jesse

[@mikehydroseed1282]

I remember when I first started out in my landscaping business, I wanted a skid steer so badly. I had just finished a Loam and hydroseeding job using wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes and Knew my local nursery had just purchased a new skid steer. I asked the owner if they wanted to sell their skid steer, he said we’ll make me an offer. I had just made exactly $2580 on that job and that was my offer. I couldn’t believe he accepted, that’s was a very happy day for me as I just purchased the exact skid steer you own minus the auxiliary hydraulics. I never changed the oil in it once and it was such a reliable little machine and could pick up a very surprising amount of weight for its size. A few years later I sold it for $5500 and purchased my ASV RC60.

[@jmuller86]

nice, that skidsteer is pretty reliable and strong for its size and weight

[@AW-Services]

Wow another video. Looks like Jesse watches Diesel creek with that drive over camera intro. Always enjoy watching this channel

[@josianrodriguez1249]

NICE JOB JESSE, THAT PLOW CAME OUT GOOD. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS G.B.Y.A 👌 👍 👏 😀 🙌 ❤ 👌 👍 👏 😀 🙌 ❤ 👌 👍 👏 😀 🙌 ❤ 👌

[@Patriot1776]

This was a neat little project! Knowing you had the extra snowplow laying around not being used, and experimenting with using the skid steer bucket to move snow around and you got to thinking 'I wonder...' Glad Pearl got some screentime and you managed to get her to the vet in time realizing something wasn't right with her. Dogs like her can live a long time. A buddy of the dad's has a chihuahua who's 18, going on 19 years old and can still get around extremely well, even though he's mostly blind and deaf now. I pray Pearl will be with us for that long. ^^

[@MarkAuer-gn4nf]

Good job…country boy…good job! Fabricating, editing and videoing!!👍

[@ThomsSimpleLife]

That plow works really good Jesse, nice job adapting it.

[@lordhoho1]

Glad to see the weatherman did not disappoint after all that work.

[@young11984]

Glad you got Pearl to the vet in time, my sisters pup passed and found it was the same thing yours had but never showed symptoms other than she pee in the floor before they went to bed. Rust and freezing water has an amazing ability to bend metal in ways we would gave never thought possible, my uncle planted 6”x1/2” square steel for door guards in front of his shop and a week later we had a steady rain then that weekend had a hard freeze (-5*). Went back out to the shop and sent me a pic of 2 round post with 8” of ice sticking out of them, told him he should have welded the cap on before it rained.

[@kevinknight470]

Great video shots, good music, not a lot of talking, metal fabricating that worked. Thanx for sharing, God bless.

[@dmmaddex]

That's a nice little plow. Good job.

[@dloglesby57]

so great that you could adapt an old plow and make it work, for your place there, and then as I am watching the video, I see Pearl, your sweet little dog.. so sweet... AWWW.. so glad you go her to the vet and she will be ok... really needs a little coat on her, cause she is shaking.. I have a Mini schnauzer terrier mix, and since she has the Terrier hair, I hand crocheted her a nice little winter jacket and then hand sewed in a nice little fleece lining and she is not shaking when she goes out for her walks with Paul..LOVE the plow, wish we had one like that here in Upper Northwest illinois. 3 sweeps and Paul would be done with the driveway.

[@andrewstratton806]

He said it was 60 degrees out

[@RustyNail5856]

This was a neat project, you turned something laying around not being used to something that is, Nice job repairing the plow.

[@MultiGeo1993]

my girl pearl , glad she is getting better she is such a cute pup.

[@douglasthompson2740]

Life is good!! Two videos from Jesse after a dry spell in two days. Now I am waiting for my coming high on Dan's next offering. Life is good when it is nasty out and your recliner beckons to watch the young fellas work! It is interesting to see the two different styles of building that are similar but different. Very complimentary.

[@billvandorn5332]

Glad t your OSHA safety rep is on the mend. I always enjoy when people repurpose material rather than going out and always buying new. The more we cut back on liabilities and save the more we have for investments later on

[@gimpy8349]

I took the plow off my dads ‘86 Bronco and converted it for my skid steer. I used a 3 point hitch plate and a couple large grade 8 bolts to attach it and a chain for lifting. I plow the same type of ground as you. Frozen mud with ruts. Wanted it to float independent of the ss to save some wear and tear on the machine. It’s worked well the last two winters

[@daddybob6096]

Hi from New Zealand Jesse. Glad to hear Pearl is ok now, i did some research about that and it can be fatal after a very short time. I would not like to live there where you are Jesse, the snow and the cold would put me off. I see your new house build is on hold because of the weather. Here, builders work all year around, because the weather is more compatible, mostly no snow in our cities, except occasionally in Dunedin on the South Island. I found the snow plow maintenance very interesting, thank you. Bob.

[@محمدالزهراني-ق7ع8غ]

I love following you, a strong and hard working man.

[@wowthingsworking7084]

👌

[@RicardoEspañaSevilla]

Nice job, nice footage. Congrats. You have a fan in Seville, Spain.

[@thomasS.91061]

This conversion is a very good idea and your work is first class. all in all really cool.

[@tunetime2424]

Good stuff. Use what you have, work around a few problems, learn a bit as you go. Really nice Jesse. Here's something to try: Spray the face of the plow with spray cooking oil. Use the cheapest stuff you can get at the grocery store. Helps the snow to slide off and helps keep snow from falling off the wrong side of the plow. Probably also reduces by a little bit the energy needed to push the plow. I use it on my snowblower fan shroud and chute too. Anyway, great job.

[@ackack612]

Well, I thought it was pretty cool, in particular your 'rust remediation' actions. And I KNEW you'd paint and make it visually more appealing as you always seem to do and you did! Another nice job. THX!

[@richardlefrancois7886]

Great project, I don't have snow here but having a way to push it out of the way, has to be a great advantage. Keep talking out your thoughts, and darken or bold face you on screen discriptions. Thanks for letting me play along ! I had some ideas of my own, but yours are better

[@weets69]

Another channel that Carhartt needs to sponsor along with Diesel Creek. Two hard working no nonsense gents. I think J fits Carhartt’s marketing spokesperson to a tee. Keep the vids coming.👍

[@johnblake3863]

I am impressed. Your usual great work. Thanks for sharing. I love Pearl!

[@robbieeades1956]

No one knows for sure just how long you would push snow if you had a heated cab. The wife and kids probably wouldn't see you for days. Lol. Great job on making that plow Jesse.

[@jimanderson4495]

Thanks Jesse. I always like the cost analysis at the end.

[@buddyreed2623]

Just because your brand of skid steer discontinued the cable does not mean a different brand does not have it. If it is long enough, ok, if it is longer, I am sure you can adapt. I am glad you did not decide to give up as go with what you had. I still think that some warehouse still has it in stock. Have good days!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Looks like she is recovering nicely! Good to see!

[@jdboy9]

For the future. Custom clutch in Cleveland Ohio will make pretty much any cable like that. Been a life saver a few times for me.

[@the2060ish]

Nice build Jess..

[@scottraven1721]

Man, I enjoy this channel so much ! Your star is rising, and you are such an inspiring brother. Thank you.

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Nice work recycling that old plow Jessy. Re the cable. I am sure boat Morse cables have treaded ends. perhaps a custom build kit for a outboard Morse cable setup would be the way forward for a replacement cable for the auxiliary port on that skid steer? Take Care D

[@randazzle1388]

Good use of spare plow. Whenever I see skid steer in snow I think: no traction, but seems to push well. Also, soon after I thought- that kinda sucks because no float function like tractor, you explained it does float.

[@canvids1]

Thanks Jesse for a great repair/fix and attaching to the Bobcat. I have been watching you now for a few years. You have so much talent.

[@acme4786]

It's awesome that you're able to get so much equipment for little money. Nice job repairing the plow. Looking forward to seeing more of the house build.

[@BillyLapTop]

Neatly engineered conversion on the plow. Works like a charm.

[@glg3945]

Great job 👏 👍 👌! That turned out well. Hopefully the the northeast is done with all this crazy snow this year now. All the best. Great video. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. Glad your doggy is doing better. 😃

[@ecclesmilligan8712]

Nice adaptation Jesse works well.

[@ksook13]

Your house is looking so good! Pearl is so adorable!! she follows you, just like my ollie and lilly follow me. Their love is unconditional and a true blessing!!!!❤ .As always, you do amazing work!

[@TravisMontesano]

I had some pretty bad snow here in nebraska last winter so I went and got myself a plow for my atv. Now that I have the plow it hasn't snowed since, guess thats the way she goes. If I sell the unit i'm sure we will get a ton of snow.

[@jmuller86]

yea thats usually how it goes

[@smplyizzy]

Good job but it is not missing the feet / shoe things?

[@jmuller86]

@@smplyizzy I had them on at first but took them off. Seems to not trip as easy with them off. Maybe I need new ones

[@smplyizzy]

@@jmuller86 I have a plow on Kubota tractor and it would seem more difficult to set the height with out them. Again on gravel. But if works well for you it does.

[@mrMacGoover]

Good job on the retro fit, I don't see too many people using flux-core welding wire these days, the things that is nice about it is you don't have to mess with shielding gas which makes your welding machine more portable for outdoor welding and it burns hot. The downside is that it burns sooty and produces way more welding fumes and smoke.

[@robmosher362]

Good Video. You surprised me with that great paint job. More please.

[@Motormike2025]

The plow turned out great . And works good to . Can't wait to see you do more work on the new house . Everything is looking Amazing .

[@TheJstewart2010]

That is a really nice setup. I always admire your ability to build something that works well, looks good and makes the best use of your money. Another great project.

[@mikeknoll2865]

Sweet little setup works great.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Jesse, I think you knocked this one out of the park, well done! I bet you get years of great service from it, looks great! Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

[@horstszibulski19]

Great job! I would replace the rusted out piece on top, it seems that it holds the curved blade sheet to the upper frame, a big piece of angle iron would sandwich it to the tops of the ribs, better than welding back a flexing sheet to the ribs in the future... :-D Our old dog has had that surgery also, seems to be pretty common to older females, she lived happily a couple of years afterwards, all the best to Pearl! Thx for the vid! :-D

[@danaskubic2145]

Great project Jess, being able to wing the snow to both sides and then having twice the width of the bucket saves a lot of time. Thanks for sharing.

[@eddyfrew4148]

jesse get yourself RS CABLE TIE TENSIONER /cutter ebay £15.00 i used these for years superb tensioner and cuts off square to cable tie buckle no sharp end you will not regret getting one of these

[@harveylong5878]

Diamond pre buyout by Meyer were really good plows. Ive been after our complex to get a plow for our SS for years, plowing with a bucket sucks. nice job thinking outside the box, repurposing that Diamond

[@bobw7066]

Hi from Australia, you can get the cable made by MORSE CONTROLS. They make all of the cables for Allison Transmission and all sorts of boat controls.

[@wheelinndealin]

Wow totally worth doing, this ended up being a really nice setup and the best part is now you’ll have it forever!

[@csil2863]

I had mounted a plow on a skidsteer in the 90s. It worked ok. The problem I had it killed my back getting jarred around in the machine. Later I adapted a snowblower for the skidsteer which worked very well, did a cleaner job, and didn’t cause the jarring back problems. At the time I had about 1/4 mile of driveway to clear.

[@seansysig]

Best snowplow wheel loader adaptation especially shortening the frame. Be wary of using the down pressure except when back dragging. Worth the $400for sure.

[@jamesbagos3459]

I’ve built and sold several of these type plows from old pickup plows. I usually attach the plate with some forward tilt like the angle of the bucket. By mounting the plate this way you only need to utilize the tilt function to lift the cutting edge off the pavement.

[@paulk6240]

Great task and accomplishment! 👍

[@PaulWhitedWoodStoneIron]

In the future you can put a washer in the base of your hydraulic fitting with a small hole. Like 1/8” or even smaller and then thread the hose on. This works well for slowing down the oil volume. If you can find a rubber cutting edge you’ll love it for sure on your gravel. Sweet build

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

I found a recap tire skin along the side of the highway. I put that between the cutting edge and plow. They are really thick and tough. Works great.

[@PaulWhitedWoodStoneIron]

@@ottoneidlinger4938 that’s a great idea.

[@soulis1000]

Nice work, thanx for sharing. What camera are you using for those clips when you change camera angles in the middle of the clip?

[@raymondanderson5525]

Awesome video Jesse. Love watching this type of video where you modify something to work then use it.

[@pannukakku.productions]

Nice work on adapting the plow. Stick with the past form of sealant on a hydraulic system. If the Teflon tape git’s into a hydraulic control valve, it can cause problems.

[@NealORussa]

Jesse also, something cheaper than the flow reducer valve is a simple orfice. I've used 1/16" orfices to reduce flow to a tilt bucket so I can have good control of it on my excavator, it's also much smaller and no knob to break or rust. If it's too slow you just drill the hole larger.

[@wirenut003]

Making nothing into something I think is a good way to be Cheers on the new plow works very strong hope you have heat in the Skidsteer

[@douglasthompson2740]

Have you tried a regular Teleflex push pull cable and adapted the ends over for what you need? Easy and cheap. If you have to the ends can be custom machined as they come with a standard thread to attach to.

[@Skynet-1]

Nice job on the plow! I have been looking at those Summit valves for my John Deere tractor to slow down the angle speed for my Tar River loader mounted blade. I also waiting for my new grapple to arrive, it may be useful for that also. Keep up the good work on the house.

[@budlvr]

Nice build Jesse ! I wish we'd get a dump of snow like that ! Love me some snow plowing !

[@jlinkhart]

Nice work as always, and I’m glad pearl is feeling better!

[@davidporter2374]

The closer to verticle the cutting edge the more aggressive the edge cuts.That plow with the center pivot being so tall makes it very ridgid but it works good.

[@deane9996]

Jesse that cable looks a lot like the same control cables used on old outboard boat motors. Might try a boat shop, or ebay for it.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

How dare the manufacturer discontinue the cable !! That's abandoning product owners. Some lubrication at 16:00 wouldn't hurt. Oh yeah, your repairs and manufacturing is outstanding. 🙂

[@eddiecabrera1408]

Oh oh you did it again yeah you did a good job on that plow man you turn nothing into something even if you only going to use it a half a dozen times a year you don't have to worry about going out and buying one and calling somebody else to help get through it by your damn self good job on that Jesse looking forward to seeing more videos man miss your videos stay safe stay warm God bless keep recording I'm going to keep watching

[@loerber]

Is there a way to flush the fluid out of the cylinders? I made a plow like this once and there was water in the cylinders from sitting around which I then sucked into my skid when I hooked it up the first time. Diamond plows are now called snow wolf if you ever need parts.

[@davemetcalfe3388]

One of the things I like is when you let your critters into your videos. I seem to like all dogs even if the breed changes my perceptions of their owners. Pearl did that and she seemed so 'right' with you ... before the note about her surgery ... after that you two were so right.

[@davidshipulski4532]

Great job! Definately better than a dump truck

[@markreetz1001]

That was a nice project. Yeah, the level of the plow needs to match what you'd have on the truck as you discovered. I saw that you did, but did you have to use 2 of those flow reducers? Does a reducer change the flow in both directions? That was one manly crescent wrench you have there! I'll bet having the angle blade was really nice. As someone who spent his youth plowing the folks drive way with a loader and a back blade, I can tell you an angle blade on the front is awesome!!
