[@EverythingElliott]

The heated cab is what makes it really fun!

[@jonseim4030]

I enjoy watching snowblower videos because I'll be moving to NH soon(ish) and the driveway we'll have is no where big enough for a plow, which i use now. So to see the different setups out there and the different techniques everyone use to do their driveways is all good knowledge for me to put to the test when I'm finally out in NH

[@EverythingElliott]

You can't really beat a machine like this, use it to mow in the summer, and use it for snow removal in the winter!

[@stuntcardriver]

I would check the chain tension. Sounds like something is loose.

[@EverythingElliott]

Chain has been on order, just waiting for it to come in. It’s stretched beyond the adjuster. Thanks for watching, and good ear!

[@billkline4077]

By the way great work with the drone shows off what this wounderful tractor can do nice work!

[@EverythingElliott]

Thank you!

[@VikingShipExplorer]

Yes a heated cab is the best for snow blowing without a doubt. You should find one for yours or build one. I'm pretty sure you have all the tools and know how to get it done. Something to ponder for next year. It would make for some great channel content . Even if you found an older one and modified it to fit, would be a great asset for the winter months. Great video as always and great snow blowing on the JD.

[@EverythingElliott]

They actually don’t make a cab for my model tractor, atleast one that I can find. I think I’d be better off building my own rather than modifying one to fit! Thanks for watching!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Nice job! That little tractor moves some snow!

[@jdtractorman7445]

Nice tractor setup you have there. A cab is a must when snow blowing.

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Hey Elliot that looked like an awful lot of snow for that lawn tractor to move. The kubota with the 7 ft blower would have been more practical for that amount of snow. But conditions like that require a heated cab for sure. We’re directly across from Buffalo in Fort Erie and fortunately for us we only got about a foot of snow. I’m sure your folks are greatful for your assistance. Cheers Mark GO BILLS !!!!!!!!

[@EverythingElliott]

yeah the wind was a problem that's for sure! The cab with the heater was the solution. My tractor would have cleared the driveway so much faster, but if you take into account the loading and transport of my tractor the JD would take less total time.

[@Captndarty]

I have a 738 and although I’m not a fan of snowblowers versus my 60 inch plow these conditions are certainly the exception.

[@EverythingElliott]

Plow wouldn’t do much of anything in these conditions, thanks for watching!

[@EverythingElliott]

Plow wouldn’t do much of anything in these conditions, thanks for watching!

[@JuniorFan08]

I have an X738 with a 54" blower, but I don't have a cab, but I have no where near the amount to plow as you do in this video. I just wish we'd have a decent snow storm instead of the 2"-3" of snow followed by rain that we've been getting this winter.

[@EverythingElliott]

Winters are always unpredictable. It’s been a lot of rain mixed with snow this year as well.

[@barrywiseman7012]

The X730 did very well to blow that amount of snow. You'd need a bigger machine to plow that amount. If that's a relatively typical snowstorm several times/winter in that area, I think a snowblower is the way to go . For the snow we get, 5-10" when we get a storm, a loader mounted plow on my 1025R works fine for me. Beautiful property. Watched your channel several times now. Finally subscribed. Cheers

[@EverythingElliott]

I'm sure you saw the wind in this video, when a plow is used at my parents property the wind just ends up blowing the plow row right back into the driveway. The snowblower is the superior application in this situation for sure!

[@barrywiseman7012]

@@EverythingElliott No kidding. Yup, it looked very windy. Good point about a plow in that situation! Thank goodness you had a cab. Gamesaver for sure!

[@Mikel9999-vh3cb]

Nice video. Garden tractors are capable if the machine is spec’d out properly and the surface is relatively flat. My Husqvarna lawn tractor throws ok and has a rear locking differential and 24 hp engine, but no front wheel drive. I’m guessing you’d notice a difference with chains and rear weights.

[@EverythingElliott]

This unit is 4x4 and does fairly well without the chains and weights. Thanks for watching!

[@frankwrogg2515]

We have a fence like that for our dogs and have to keep in cleaned out, or by late winter, they can just walk over the top of it.

[@EverythingElliott]

Well, thankfully it’s not my driveway, or yard to deal with. It’s my parents, I was just giving my dad a hand that day. He’s retired now, so that gives him plenty of time to mow in the summer, and blow in the winter

[@JoshAllen17Goated]

Great video! Im in the Buffalo area as well and I have a Cub GT (standard frame 2500 series) thats a heavy old beast of a machine. I would consider using it for snow removal but the snow we get isnt easy to remove with my professional Ariens snowblower. As a owner of a super GT with a snowblower, will a standard frame GT be able to do the same? Or do you find the X738 to struggle?

[@EverythingElliott]

I’ll be honest, I use a Kubota L4701 with a 7’ blower. So when I switch to the 738, it seems like it struggles. But when I talk to my dad about it, he’s very pleased with the 738. You just have to take your time depending on the type of snow. I’m just used to being able to go as fast as I want with my big tractor

[@billkline4077]

3 things I love - my wife, my dog, and my X738 JD that cab looks really good how high is it to the top of the cab ? Im thinking soft cab or hard cab like yours . living in westren NY we get some huge snows close to lake erie and it getting cold on the face blowing 5 ft of snow Im thinking cab !

[@EverythingElliott]

Speaking from experience, my father started with a soft cab. It lasted one winter before he said he needed a hard cab. We found this hard cab second hand for $500, gave it a little TLC and put it in.

[@frankwrogg2515]

Once you get a tractor this size, it always seems like a no brainer to just jump to a 1023 or 1025.

[@EverythingElliott]

The snowblower is the only use this tractor has, I use it to mow lawn at my house in the summer, but he has no use for anything bigger. the 1023 and 1025 both use this same snowblower, and the cab option for those is even more expensive. This X738 is a good fit for him!

[@jimhohl9003]

Simple logic dictates determining starting your start of blowing based on prevailing wind direction. Why start on the downwind side of the driveway and then the need to snowblow over where you already cleared. You should have started your first pass on the upwind side of the drive .

[@EverythingElliott]

you are certainly correct! but once I started I just committed...it ended up working out as the winds were strong enough to carry the snow over the driveway.

Dude! Come on! Clean out that whole area in front of the storage shed! And....it's easier if you go with the wind instead of against it. If you have to go against the wind, consider lowering the discharge chute so you don't the majority of that snow so high in the air that it just blows back on you.. So, what do I know about blowing snow? I've used a John Deere 1028 SE and currently use a 1330 SE walk behind....no cab....no heated cab, though they did have heated handles.....no protection from blowing snow. One season I did use an old full-face motorcycle helmet to help me avoid snow blowback. It worked great and since I mainly blew snow at night, I even wore a LED headlamp with a red light so folks could see me better! The things we do to move the snow! I learned my trade from watching 15-ton Oshkosh blowers at work while I was in the Air Force in Alaska, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Indiana, and South Dakota! I figured out real quick it was far better to blow snow rather than plow it or shovel it! Nice unit you've got there....take care!

[@EverythingElliott]

Not my property, not my decision what he wants cleaned up, and what he wants left...and as far as the wind goes, I was already committed once I realized what was happening, and I'm not one to back down from a fight, especially when I'm inside a heated cab!
