Kubota Vs. Buffalo Blizzard

[@EverythingElliott]

This is the first snow storm of Western NY this winter, but it certainly isn't the last. There are plenty of snow removal videos from last winter on my channel: tinyurl.com/yc7d76ku and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on any of the future videos!

[@rutigerescobar3827]

I bought my kubota l4060 with a cab and front mounted snow blower attachment in 2020. It was expensive, but in the end worth every penny in terms of comfort and clearing big snowfalls. Being out at 4am with a heated cab makes the money well-spent! Plus no snow banks.

[@EverythingElliott]

[@stevehaug3603]

Really enjoyed this video. This post was a stark reminder of personal ancient history for me. Having shoveled what felt as a lifetimes worth of New York snow as a kid, I jumped at a career opportunity of moving to South Carolina almost fifty years ago after leaving the Service and have only had to shovel snow once in all those years. My hats off to you for doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done no matter how bad or tired you felt and also not trying to blow off your job because of weather or conditions. You're the type of person that people will look up to. Post us another video on your backyard lake when all that snow finally melts.

You want any of this snow for nostalgia? You can come get as much as you want, free of charge!

[@scottcampbell8482]

That open station tractor gets old! People think Buffalo gets snow, but down here on the Chautauqua ridge is really what gets it consistently...although we only got 2 feet from that last storm. I keep several machines ready to move snow. Have a 45 hp Kioti open station, 24 hp Kioti w/cab with a front snowblower, and a 2500 Chevy HD with a plow. Mostly use the blower so I don't have to move mounds later in the winter. I don't ever plan to rely on anyone else!

Yea a front mounted snow blower and a set of rear wheel chains is what I have and it's the balls at getting the snow away from my driveway and no big snow banks "squeezing" into my driveway as more snow storms come during the rest of the winter. Worth every penny I spent.

Hey neighbor - enjoyed the video. I moved to OP from the city this year, we got a JD 1025R to hobby farm some of our land and I got a blower for the snow to handle our 400' driveway. First time tractor owner, this was a doozy of a storm to break in our house and equipment. Broke a shear bolt without knowing what a shear bolt was yet so fixing that up this week before we get our next round.

I didn’t tell you to do this, but you can run grade 5 bolts instead of sheer pins. I run bolts on all my stuff because I was sick of blowing pins.

I push snow with a 1953 John Deere model 40. I love doing it. I always push way back for big snow, and in the beginning of the season. I leave a little snow for a hard pack, which reduces the gravel cleanup in spring. Looks like your ground isn’t frozen though. Once I put tire chains on, it was a game changer. I can push a ten foot pile of wet snow, I swear! Great video! Hope the lakes freeze soon!

With the amount of snow you guys usually get, I can’t believe you don’t push the snow farther off the driveway before making your piles.

I was born in Germany and was there till I was seven. Lots of snow! Hated it. Then I moved to Kansas. Not so much but some snow, and it is really wet snow there. Hated that too.

This certainly isn’t the last of the snow for this year, that is for sure.

[@bradh74]

I'm a procrastinator so I know first hand how putting things off costs you later, but if you had tuned your driveway up with a box blade/land plane you wouldn't have the issues with scalping your driveway now. That snow pusher looks pretty small but if you don't have tire chains it's probably all the bigger you want, to be honest where you live a snow blower would be a welcome addition to the line up I'm sure. You should find a way to make an implement storage rack like some of the other youtubers do so you can find them and them in the snow. Tractor time with Tim has a great idea for a rack system with the heavy duty shelves, I would secure them to my building, and have them inside and out. When I lived in Western NY I had a short driveway and the City did a nice job of keeping the streets clean so I just shoveled around my cars and that was that, but if you live in the country and it says "Seasonal Maintenance" you better figure that you're on your own!

[@EverythingElliott]

I do have tire chains no, built them myself, actually made a video on that. The pusher is 6’ and I don’t want it much bigger given the door I pull my tractor into is 8’. I used to have a blower but it put a hurtin on my back and neck from being spun around in the seat, and let’s be honest. Playing with the loader is just plain more fun!

Your snow pusher is awesome! I used to plow my driveway with the rear blade and use the front bucket for moving deep snow around. However the tractor was just too heavy and would pack the snow down on my hills. I had some very scary backward slides trying to get up my driveway and pushing snow up the hill was impossible. Now I plow my driveway (550ft) and parking area with my quad. It's so much faster, I can plow both ways (it will push snow up hills) and with the angled blade the plowing goes a lot faster. My only wish was that it had the HST transmission like my tractor so I don't have to change the gears when reversing. Loved the vid!

The adjustable feet to prevent scraping up the millings, which work impressively well, are a huge feature.

The one on my tractor is a 72" and I'm sure you can see how I struggle at times without chains. I have no aversion to running chains on my driveway because its millings, I just haven't come across the right deal for a set yet. I wouldn't want to run chains on a paved drive because it could mar it up... I would be concerned that you'll end up with more snow in the pusher than your tractor can push at the 84". That being said, it also depends what kind of snow you get. Here, we get all lake effect snow which is super moist and heavy, causing the above problem. If the majority of the snow you get is light and fluffy, go with the big boy.

[@jeffhanaway3943]

@@EverythingElliott, you echo my concerns about going with the bigger one. To your point about chains, two year old asphalt and I’m not about to go there. I’ve been back plowing forever with a very heavy 7’ back blade and my old hockey neck just can’t take the strain anymore, it’s why I’m considering this, but if I go big or with the smaller one I’ll be in the same boat either way, at times struggling to make the initial pass. So my thought is to just put an insane angle on the back blade for the initial cut and take as big of bites as necessary with the pusher to get the job done. That way when it’s light and fluffy I’ve given nothing up by going with the 7’. I just hope I’m not underestimating the potential overkill of the 7’ shovel, lol. I live about 40 miles south of Erie in the snow belt and we too get some heavy snow at times, but I think you have the potential for larger accumulations. And WOW did you guys just get dumped on!!

With that amount of snow, you really need a snowblower attachment for your tractor. Enjoyed your video, as I love the huge snow falls.

Similar setup here in 🇨🇦 for moving snow on our property. After a few heavy snowfalls I found that it got challenging to pile the snow on top of previous so I added a snowblower attachment to our Kubota. Made a huge difference.

So what is the rated snow load your roof can handle. I built a home in Central Idaho and although the area where my home resides rarely gets more than a few feet I had to build to Valley County snow load, 120lbs per sqft, although rarely do we get more than 50lbs/sqft.

nice video, sorry you got all that snow... Mother Nature can be cruel sometime's. I live in northern New Hampshire and we get are fair share, noting like that thankfully. have you ever tried putting chains on your front tires? I have them on my side by side and we also put them on our 950 loaders. they help a lot with the steering and pushing that little bit more....

Awesome job! I love Kabotas. They have a snowblower attachment that can blow some serious snow. Might be a good investment. I noticed that your plow is tilted up a bit from the camera angle. It is probably hard for you to tell from your position you could try tilting it 2 inches down and see how it does and if it needs further adjustment you can tilt it back up. I know you raised the skis up all the way and I compensated for that. You do a great job! I think you should take a break and pound down a couple of bush lights and enjoy your weekend.🍙❄

[@EverythingElliott]

Front mount snow blower just isn’t in the budget, I don’t have a mid PTO on my tractor so they get extremely expensive. I used to have a rear mount blower but it was super taxing on my back and neck being spun around the entire time. Thanks for watching!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I wonder how they measure snow there. It doesn't look like even 3 feet on your roof or the car parked in your driveway. I realize that the wind can blow light fluffy snow around but the early snows are usually heavy so they don't blow much. I saw video of people using walk behind snowblowers in what the news said was 66 inches of snow but it was only waist high. Maybe the man operating the blower was 10 feet tall? I'm 6'2" and 2 feet is knee high. 5 feet is shoulder high.

[@EverythingElliott]

They measure accumulation, so as it falls it’s counted. After snow sits for hours it compresses. Hence why you only see that much on the car. The roof isn’t a fair assessment because heat from the house melts the snow on the roof (I live in an old inefficient house). This is pretty much the standard way of snow measurement across the country. Thanks for watching!
