I'm beginning to develop an interest in to getting that blade on the side by side and somehow modifying it to work on my John Deere 4100? I wonder if anybody else is mounted one of those on a subcompact.

[@donaldpyles2891]

Courtney I am going off the reservation here and saying I prefer to blow it. Grew up in Ohio pushing snow every winter, moved to Michigan and bought a snow blower and will never go back. Much faster, does a better job and you never have to worry about moving piles back when you have a snowy winter. Finally feels like winter here in western Mich.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That wasn't an option Donald! 🤣👍 If you notice, there's nowhere for me to blow snow at my shop. Even blowing snow in my neighborhood can be a pain sometimes. My top landing pad is not setup to blow snow. Thanks as always and stay warm!

[@patrickcorbett8361]

I agree Don...if you have the area..blowing is the best and least trouble ( looks 100 times better also !)

Neighbor across the street had his drive plowed. It was pushed straight across the street into my drive. I normally go out of my way to take care of neighbor but this caught me in an ornery mood. Since I had my 11HP Honda on tracks out taking care the people on my side of street I decided to see how far I could blow snow. Honda claimed 50 feet. I easily put the snow back in his drive. It never happened again. Good to see Rosie looking so good. I respect a man that takes care of this animal even when they have problems.

[@johnthorpe1071]

Good Morning Courtney! Nice of you to take care of the neighbors, hope that they reciprocate. Grapple is still in my truck, will get it on when weather cooperates. Hey, had a Kalamazoo wood/gas with upper and lower oven stove at Camp back in the day, wish i still had it! I think they were made there. Thanks

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, not the best "grapple" weather right now anyways! Better off as good ballast weight for your truck right now!

[@johnthorpe1071]

Wow, that V-Plow is impressive, a real game changer. Your pretty good with it too. I Enjoyed this. We gotta 2014 John Deere Gator @ Work with a 6' regular plow. It doesn't do that great. We can never get the drag shoes or pads adjusted right. Does OK in deep snow leaves about 1 1/2" - 2"s of snow after your done plowing.

[@belindakt]

What fun! LoL,. Looks like Rosie is having a blast, as is Courtney. Your brother, well, he's busy taking exceptional videos while fighting the whiteout conditions. All we have here in southern Oklahoma is a very thin sheet of black ice on everything!

[@kenh9097]

Love my 3038E with a SB1154 thrower, rear mount, but have bucket options also for the front. Great video!

[@GoFastGator]

Compact tractor (large frame) with a pusher on the front and a snow blower on the back is a parking lot clearing animal. Push the bulk and use the blower to clear additional space (corner spaces!) and quickly put piles wherever you want them. I used to plow a small parking lot and having the extra 6 spaces I could clear 100% with the blower was awesome. Don't get a lot of snow? Hang a rotary broom on the back and clear pedestrian areas.

[@deanstrickland6993]

Love the gator! Looks like so much fun. Love snow clearing videos!!!!

[@Elkmonger]

I bought a little Honda HS720 single stage snow thrower I keep in the bed of the Gator. I use that to clean out in front of garage doors enough to get the Gator in and plow out. I have an older model Powertach plow on my 835M and that can be arranged for down pressure, but I don't use it that way. We just had 20" of snow here and I plowed twice. The Gator handled it pretty easily though it was very light snow. Now my neighbor didn't have anyone do her driveway AT ALL! We have more snow coming and she's parked out by the road. I asked her if she wants me to give it a shot. So I try it with the Gator. The snow had compacted to about 14" and was much tighter and heavier. I was shocked the Gator could push it. It was rolling snow I sweat 4' high in front of the Gator. I whish I had video of it. I have a Kubota B2320 TLB if it gets bad. BUT that's open cap and I'm not using it unless I have to. The whole shifting operation and changes in motion on the Gator and any of the CVT's in general it's just ehhhh. Not like using a hydrostatic tractor. At the street I try and stack the snow on the down "stream" side of my driveway and mailbox. If I need to pile it on the up stream side I try and go pretty far so the township plow can toss the snow and have their plow about empty by the time it gets to my driveway. I have about 350' of road frontage. Generally I NEVER push snow across the street. If I had a heated tractor cab I wouldn't use the Gator at all. If I had asphalt AND a cab tractor I'd have a snowblower on it. The guys with the snow blowers never have to worry about where to stack snow. I've been stacking snow for 40 years. Using that Honda HS720 is making me rethink my snow removal processes. Do you use compression software to upload your videos? I could never get a 21 minute video uploaded? GREAT video as always. Any chance you got a nice Kubota L3940 HSTC and loader you're not listing on your website??? Buddy - Pal??

[@brandonmurphy2009]

Hey nice plow. Is that the same as the Boss V plow???

[@simonthebroken9691]

It's great you can work with your brother. I would love to be able to do that. Mutual respect isn't a thing in my family.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Comments like these really put things in perspective and keep me grateful, as well as remind me how not everyone is in the same boat. Appreciate the comment.

[@jameshager3371]

Love your channel. Plenty of good information, presented in an easy to understand format. In answer to your question: I wholeheartedly agree about people plowing snow onto someone else's property. It's rude, it's uncalled for and it definitely shows a lack of class.

[@Bob-vb8lc]

The Gator did well with the driveways and I agree about keeping the snow off your neighbors property. The pusher did well in the open lot clearing. I was surprised that you have to plow your own area when the landlord has the upper lot plowed. Its also crazy that you have to bring it up the hill. (No place for it in the lower lot). Both plow & pusher did well for there tasks, good job and thanks.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for watching Bob! Yeah, I really just need a bigger shop. On the hunt for more space, but hard to find right now.

[@tommcmillan3143]

Excellent demonstration Courtney of the 2 machines. Your house driveway is definitely a challenge, I do my neighbors and it is very similar. I use a JD 216 with a 37A snow thrower and it really is nibble to get everything and put the snow in the only place possible. There is a downside; no heated cab but I still enjoy doing it:)

[@oklahomachris6298]

Fiddle playing is awesome that was my favorite part lol

[@AdamTDelisle]

I feel like this is one of your better videos you have put out recently. Maybe that’s just because I like the vlog style better and a sales type video. I like seeing your day today operations and making the videos more personal. Either way love the channel and keep up the good work!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Appreciate it. We try to film field work when we can. It's more popular in the warm months than the cold ones.

[@bradmeacham6982]

Don't know if this applies to all UTV or light duty pickup plows, but the Meyer Home Plow I use on my Jeep does not have any true down pressure functionality. It's hydraulic up, gravity down. The only down option is a float position. It is also bad at back dragging.

[@jeremiehoug2837]

You have one of the easiest driveways I've ever seen to clear snow from.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Then I would absolutely hate to live in whatever area you're at.

[@drewwagner7985]

Courtney, I really like the plow setup on the Gator. Can you give a side by side view of the operation of the plow controls and the plow movement? I have a Massey GC 1723 EB but prefer to plow with my Polaris Sportsman 850 due to the size, power and maneuverability. We have been considering a SXS and that setup on the Gator would certainly give it a leg up on the competition. Thanks for a great video.

[@mossfamily2000]

Yeah I agree about the snow in someone else’s yard. Unfortunately I live in the country on gravel and the plows push all the snow and gravel into my yard from the road. I’m not to thrilled about all the gravel I have to clean up every spring. It’s a pain in the ass.

[@dalcassian56]

As my dad would always say, "you tried to take too big a bite out of the snow." :) That's why it spills out the side of the pusher and leaves lanes of snow to clean up later. If you ever need more practice moving snow, I've got a nice long driveway through the woods that I double-dog dare you to try to clear! And my vote for the best snow remover, the poor guy with the shovel LOL! Give that man a hot coffee and tell him I said, "good work!" Love the videos!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Lol, neah, enough practice for me right here, haha!

[@nickg2366]

That V plow is slick. That little bit of snow that leaks in the middle would drive me nuts lol. I use a rear blade and a snow pusher, seems like the most cost effective setup. Do you find having the back drag on the snow pushers works better than having a rear blade? I just figured the rear blade works for snow removal and ballast.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, it drives me nuts too. I bought some conveyor belting to fix that problem (if things go according to plan). Going to install it when I swap over to UHMW. Just need the a couple hours of free time. Yeah, I really like that backdrag on the pusher. Rear blades are very light so don't add much ballast compared to a box or weight rack.

[@markschmaus5580]

The 4066 with loader and plow attached to loader would be my choice 😁

[@ironheadbiker]

I've really had an epiphany lately with my pusher, and back drag setup with my rear blower. I took off my loader arms on my L2501, and I have to say, I'm so very impressed and a little dumbfounded. My 68" mk martin meteor sits fine with no front ballast! I have hills, and quick drop offs here in Wisconsin and my problem has always been inside corners and maneuvering in all my tight spots. The blower alone on my tractor makes it handle like a jeep compared to a semi truck! And I can do u-turns, or right turns and it follows along beautifully. Plus with the blower, you touch it once & it's gone, except in a few of my tight spots, but even then, I just hit it a 2nd time. I don't get the large piles, and it just handles so nicely! I took it off as an experiment, and have now blown 3 storms without loader arms on. 1. We've had at least 6" each storm, with lesser amounts the blower isn't as effective. 2. The blower actually works pretty good as a back drag! The blower weighs 500lbs, but doesn't lift my front tires. I'm really amazed by the results. And I'm a big snow pusher fan!

[@jeffreygrotenhuis661]

Courtney with the five-car garage set up!!!

[@ajjackson741]

Question: is it really safe to drag that long/much with the snow pusher? i thought that puts an undue strain on the two cylinders and may bend them??

[@GoodWorksTractors]

You need to be careful. Plowing a smooth paved parking lot is different than using with a bucket on uneven terrain with potential hidden stumps, roots, rocks. Also, speed is your friend. Slower the better.

[@vitalej00]

Never push snow across street and stack on neighbors property. IMO. We plow commercially and that is a no no. Company policy. Also illegal in many towns.

[@tomthompson8875]

That's why I live in the woods I get a $1000 fine. I would plow the Entire road in after that.

[@reno4819]

I've found that the verticle angle on the edge makes a difference when you want to scrape. A slight tilt away from the direction you are plowing causes the edge to float slightly. I adjusted my tilt to perfectly vertical and it scrapes both directions. Also when going backwards your skid shoes will hold up the blade since they are on top of snow where in forward the snow has been removed. By the way I like your brother's camera work. Nice job!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good points all around here, thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@joelbutler7501]

Wouldn't the back drag function for the pusher be the same as the radical tilt of the bucket and back dragging ? I mean in terms of cylinder extension and issues that can happen because of it.

[@PersonalHorsePower]

You’re right... having a cab is a big plus on my 3039R. So far I’ve been using my bucket to clear my driveway and it’s working well. Are the blades for a Gator expensive? I have an 835M. Thanks for this video.

[@thegrumpyyooper6503]

Awesome video! I think I’ll stick with my 1 Ton Diesel and 9’-2” Boss V Plow though. I almost never push snow towards the road it all gets pushed back up the driveway I’m plowing. Also don’t put banks at the end of the driveway by the time winter comes to an end you’ve decreased the width of the driveway pulling in and obstructed visibility pulling out.

[@kennyp507]

Im baised here owning a tractor, so I'm 100% snow pusher with rear blade. I actually have 2 different pushers, hla1500 w/ steel edge. perfect for wet snow / sleet / ice as the size only allows so much material so I dont loose traction or steering, the other is a no name large pusher w/ rubber cutting edge (mold board is 35" tall, width is 72") love it for big snowstorms with drier snow, I can move a ton of it at once. The rear blade is great for getting into tighter spots and windrowing smaller storms to grab with the pusher.

[@JeepinMaxx]

Rosie looks like she enjoys the snow - she has a lot of energy! My BX loader bucket works great for my small driveway, but not nearly as fun as my ATV used to be (before I sold it to get the BX...)

[@scottfeatherstone7156]

You are correct, do not put your snow and debris on other peoples property.

[@09X19]

Exactly. My neighbor across the street does it to me. I don’t say anything because it’s not a HUGE problem and you want to be neighborly...some people are just ignorant.

[@n1cholas.w]

With some heavy shelving, could you make better use of your lot by stacking implements 2 or 3 high, thus creating some real estate in the winter for snow? Would keep some inventory from sitting in snow and puddles too. Just a thought.

Correct. However, I'm desperately trying to move. As soon as I find the right place, I'm outta there. Just don't want to spend the time and money when the right place could come on the market any day.

[@4Jeffv]

Seems like I need an upgrade. I have a 60” plow on my 2025r with a rear blade. I have to plow my 500’ driveway like 15 times to clear it. I was thinking a snowblower would allow one pass instead. But this pusher seems like it would keep spillage down too and might get away with one or 2 passes.

[@garytyler4382]

I had 52 plow accounts. Solo operation. I Never pushed snow on someone else's lawn, even if I had 2 drives in a row. Inconsiderate. And one other thing I did. If I tore up your lawn, I repaired it in the spring on my dime. People loved that

[@dennisveerkamp2707]

I find in reral MN that a blower and blade combination on a tractor works best. It does not matter if it is in a front mount blower and rear blade or front blade or rear blower. That way I don't have to push the snow on to the lawn and rip it up. I have a can stay on the drive and blow the snow on the lawn and still scrap the drive with the blade

[@markhartman6724]

Have you thought about placing two saddle weights on the blade and making a couple brackets to hold them in place for down pressure, just a thought that's all.

[@JMSynthetics]

what size snow pusher do you find ideal for a 1025r, 54" or 60". I currently have the 54" front mount snowblower but would like the option to push if needed.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I recommend 54"

[@prestonfaust4267]

At your house, you need to back drag the corner where your garages meet. Then backup perpendicular to your trailer and push your driveway in an arch pattern with your blade angled to the left. Back dragging with a standard plow will never scrap the same as pushing.

I wish my neighbors would be more considerate of where they place their snow. They clean the alley from across the street from me onto my freshly cleaned Sidewalk (the alley doesn't continue on my side of the street). There is nothing that says love like having to reclean a side walk with a 4-6 foot pile of compact snow and rock. The one time I complained he brought the big Cat front loader back and compressed the sidewalk by over an inch with down pressure trying to back drag my sidewalk clean.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, that is really frustrating to deal with

[@KubotaL4060]

Nice video. I hate back dragging. On double wides without cars present, I generally go up one side of the driveway and swing around in a large arc in front of the garage. Can't always do that though. Pushing across the road is a no-no in my area, and is imho inconsiderate. I do plow into the road, then push off into the customer's side. I REALLY like those HLA pushers, 1800 series with backdrag and uhmw edge. I'll call for quote.

Living on a cul-de-sac is terrible with snow plows that don't know what they are doing. Each year they push their blades into the grass and cut up a large section or get stuck since we are on the bottom of a hill and back into the yard and spray salt all over the yard. it Sucks! I try to get out and clear before they get here so all they do is leave a big pile in front of my driveway. They really need to learn how to turn their blades. I clear my drive the cul-de-sac and some of my neighbors drives and I just got the HLA 1500 for my 1025r and I love it. Put a UHMW blade on the bottom and rubber on the back drag and works great. I always put the snow in the curb of the house I'm plowing. It takes a little longer but I agree its not the neighbor on the other side of the street snow. Good plowing

[@ryanjordan3602]

I’ve snow plowed since ‘06. Keep the plow straight when back dragging. Your pivot point is center of the V so it’s very hard/impossible to get equal down pressure on the entire edge when it’s not straight. Also your best most efficient plowing with any plow is always forward. Back drag just enough to get your equipment enough room to plow in the forward direction. I have a Boss V plow on my Gator(I know you bought it as a very lightly used machine and it came with the JD plow) and it a much better system, as it has a handheld remote compared to your joystick system, I know it’s more user friendly then the John Deere system. Maybe look into one for yours you will like it 100x better. Love the content though keep it up.

Hey good works, quick question. We are looking at buying a 4066r or a 4052r. We have a new Holland open station that is older and pre emissions. We are worried about the emissions because we only use a mower with it 1 or 2 times a year, mostly loader work. Do you think this will lead to engine problems? Because the engine won’t be running very hot all the time so idk if that will be bad or not for it. Great video btw

Morning, my 4066r goes into regen every 40ish hours since we run lower throttle a lot, so soot builds up more often. However, we can use the tractor while it's going through regen and it really doesn't affect our operations. I don't see how this will lead to engine problems, but I'm not a mechanic either, haha. Just my two cents.

@@GoodWorksTractors ok thanks for the reply so quick. Not many people on KZbin with one, much less that dosnt use a pto implement frequently. This has been the main thing keeping us from buying one so your feedback is very helpful.

I like em both!!!!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, me too!

[@jimmyjohn9637]

It all depends on the size of what your cleaning and how much snow the bigger the lot and more snow the tractor will work but smaller and a little less the gator will be perfect

Wyoming: 4in of snow Michigan: 6-8in of snow Montana: hella snow Colorado: "You guys are getting snow?" That was just a meme reference. 😂

[@GoodWorksTractors]

You guys are getting paid?!

[@CreativeMacTech]

I live in Colorado at 7500ft and I've only had to plow with my 2025r 3 times this year. We need snow! Weird year for us. Last year I plowed 2ft drifts every other week.

[@radroofer]

Great job. True if it's not their snow don't put it there. That's where Air space comes in to play

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad I'm not alone, thanks for watching!

We have very few codes and regulations in my area but not pushing your snow across the road is one of them

Is that an old Kubota b7100 when you get to your shop

[@PEI_Guy]

I saw a guy in my area with a Kubota side by side with a snow blower on it. It looked like a really nice setup. Looks like you are getting enough snow to justify something similar if John Deere offers it.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

So far, so good. Just a bit of a learning curve with the 6 way.

[@dalcassian56]

Snow blower, all the way!

[@dalcassian56]

@@GoodWorksTractors Snow blower, heated cab, hot coffee, good music (headphones or earpods for the younger set)... Bring on the snow :)

I always sweeten the deal for my neighbors when I need to stack in their yard. Wait til the city plow comes by and leaves a dense row at the end of their driveway then knock it out for them, for free. Friends for life and they will bake you a pie too.

[@ktauber9692]

Far be it for me to be critical of someone else's plow job; I have a suggestion with what I do. With my v plow, I push driver side full out and pull passenger side full in. I then start from the left of the paved area and make an arc towards my pile area. As I am become perpendicular with the pile area, I straighten out the wheels. Rinse and repeat. You will have less you have to back drag around the garage and when you do, you push it to the Right and not all the way back like you did.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Not sure I follow, but I've used this plow, used the plow on my old x739, used pushers, and used blowers on my drive. I've plowed it for five years since we moved in and tried every possible method I can think of. It's just a tough area to plow and can't wait to move, haha! Thanks for watching.

[@merrilljohn1619]

Long time watcher, you live pretty high.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Highest point in the neighborhood, but low elevation.
