John Deere 4066R snow removal action and ice rink clearing with the Ventrac

Little update from a quick January snow run using the John Deere 4066R, Cyclone Blower/MetalPless combo. The Bobcat 773g was left outside and not plugged in...took a little bit to get it going. We like to use the Ventrac 4500y and broom to clear off the skate rink at our park, seems to do the best job and Andrew make its clean quickly in 10x mode :)

I like what you’ve done with your pickups and the stickers, looks really cool 😎

[@jacobsonbros]

Glad you like them!

[@blackopsrocks]

Just here to tell you I saw your 4066r metal pless video at the dollar tree or whatever that was a few years ago and I ordered the exact same tractor, frame kit, metal pless, cyclone and sold one of my skid steers to cover some of the cost. I like the performance to cost ratio, I decided to eliminate two on site skid steer and push box rentals I had been doing AND I got rid of a skid steer I used exclusively for a 65 unit HOA. The travel speed with all that weight is meh but you also dont bounce like hell in a mini loader either. We intend to buy another one this year and instead of pull blower were gonna run a sami 3 point salt spreader (it can scoop and lock from the 3 point so it doesnt need something to fill it). Great stuff man, changed the way we do service.

[@jacobsonbros]

Awesome! I’ve heard that a lot from people and even my salesman even said “you’ve sold a lot of these machines”. They are kick ass for sure. My reasons were the same as yours…skid was too slow. You have accumulator on the front? I just did that and it’s a world of difference.

[@blackopsrocks]

@@jacobsonbros yes, Im.using a parker accumulator front and rear.

Hey bro, just wondering how you like that tractor because I am I purchased one this summer for snow removal next year. That thing looks like it’s pretty awesome. I do a lot of stuff with it and that snowblower is awesome.

[@jacobsonbros]

Love it! Versatile for sure. Works for us becuase of our mix of commercial and residential clients. Held up good almost 800 hours on the beast.

[@matthewvukelich9504]

Wow, 800 hour Yeah, that thing looks like a beast. Keep up the great videos man I’m out of Bismarck I see you guys are out of Fargo.

[@jacobsonbros]

@@matthewvukelich9504 not Fargo. North of there 60 miles … mayville Portland

[@matthewvukelich9504]

Ok cool bro

Just wandering if you are still using steel scrapper. I don't do any stamped driveways and my understanding is the steel still scraps better....Are you just running on JD & do you use a software program for notification to you residential customers? Thanks for the great incab video

[@jacobsonbros]

yes, the standard hardox steel edge. I dont have stamped, but i have colored concrete and zero issues that i've seen in 4 years. JD 4066R like the title says and yes, I use jobber to manage all my jobs and properties for landscaping and snow removal. Check out Jobber! share.getjobber.com/mQga25T

[@rlawn]

@@jacobsonbros Thank you for your time once again! I love your set up on the John Deere. I would be only doing residential driveways so I don't think that I would use the MetalPress that much.

[@miltonfreedman4225]

Can you do a video on the front PTO and linkage?

[@jacobsonbros]

On the John Deere? There is no front PTO, I run a MetalPless Agrimaxx blade on the front.

[@tannersmowingandmorellc496]

The snowblower looks small without wings on it!

[@jacobsonbros]

full 80", maybe its the tall tires?

[@miltonfreedman4225]

My mistake. It looks like the snowblower is on the front of the tractor.

[@darin5794]

Why back blading
