Neighborhood Hero Part 2 Snow Fighter John Deere 3046R 4 Hours Snowblowing

[@elrobo3568]

If you spray the grille of the tractor and the inside of the blower with ceramic car polish the snow won't build up as the ceramics break the water bond. It works really well on my blower. Great job!

[@maraudermitchelli]

Great great suggestion thank you. I'll try it on my track loader. Happy New Years

[@turbotona25]

Yep I use the same thing works great. I use undrdog QD it’s amazing and the gloss it adds is a bonus

[@GoGoggansGo]

@@maraudermitchelliou can use that and even car wax will work in a pinch, you can also use spray wax don’t even bother wiping it off. They also make teflon spray I’ve had good luck with it, and i know an old farmer that would melt cheap candle and coat the blower Any of these will work great

[@billtrombley3434]

Sir, just sat here & watched you with this amazing machine in Neighborhood Hero Parts 1 & 2. I now realize why my brother wants 1! I really enjoy watching people use a snowblower & I keep looking for a front mounted 1 to go with our 20 year old tractor. Doing a task like this is 1) Appreciated by your neighbors I see, everyone helps each other. 2) and can be Therapeutic, just like reading a book, or a walk or UTV ride through the woods. If I might suggest, get a pair of yellow tinted glasses for working in the snow. I use them & I know your eyes can get tired very quickly without them. I hate that sand in your eyes feeling. I'll be exploring your channel more, stay safe & remember to take a break when needed.

[@maraudermitchelli]

We had a 12hp Massey Fergason 2wd lawn tractor with a plow....a shovel was faster as it could push nothing. It had no ballast. It was a big deal as a kid when our company got a 2w dually with a plow...it was a little better than a shovel. We've come along way. Pitts thank you for supporting my channel.

My dad bought a decent snow blower when I was a teenager and I was all too happy to do our house and all our neighbors every storm, dad rarely had to do a thing though he would shovel off the porches. May best buddy's Dad bought a nice Simplicity riding lawn mower when my buddy was done with their lawn, he'd either come over and do mine, or allow me to use their rider. IDK, maybe times have changed, but back in the 70s, all the kids did the outside work until we left home.

As a diabetic myself, I would consider the power shovel by Toro. It can handle any depth of snow without breaking you back, or bank. Buy a second battery and places like you generator and vent area is saw you and your son digging out wouldn’t take long to uncover. Plus it’s kinda fun to use. Or another brand is the snow Joe has added wheels to help while pushing it into the snow. Good job by the way.

[@william6526]

I Ran a Norland snow blower for over 25 years on the Willamette pass when I worked for the highway dept. The blower had two engines a 16 cylinder diesel engine that ran the blower head and a 8 cylinder diesel that ran the drive wheels and hydraulics to operate the blower . The blower head was 10 feet wide and 8 feet high. It had cutter bars on the side that cut the berm on the side of the road that were 20 feet high. Many times the snow was 6 to 8 feet higher then the 20 foot cutter bars could reach. Our regular shift was 10 hours but in a storm it wasn't uncommon to work 12 to 16 hours in a white out where you could only see a few feet in front of you . I really know how draining both physically and mentally running a blower in bad conditions. One thing I left out was how big this Norland blower was it was 35 feet long 12 feet wide and weighed 160 thousand pounds. It could throw a full boot of snow over 200 feet when you had the blower in high gear.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Holy crap what a monster blower I'm sure that was a handful to operate. I've only seen those in videos. I'm sure the citizens appreciate the work you did to keep them driving safe. I loved your comment please be safe and happy.

[@malelonewolf80]

Know very well how tired one can get from snow-blowing. Spent about 3 or 4 hours snow blowing recently. At first clearing / plowing the snow with my atv, and then using a snowblower (the kind you walk behind) to throw the snow further away from the road (which has edges of snow about the height of the box with the auger in, in my snowblower. Took quite a while, and all in a bit of sideways wind. And of course, when I was about done it started snowing again. Luckily it did not snow too many centimeters, so I did not have to do all the work over again. But the next day I did some research into tractors. A local dealer has a Lovol 504 50hk 4wd tractor which I would get if I had the money for it. But it costs about 3 times the price my ATV cost, and thus I would need to save up for 15 years to be able to afford it. And that is if my house do not need any big repairs during that time. So perhaps by the time I am in my sixties I may afford such a tractor. :)

[@maraudermitchelli]

Jens you worked so hard I understand I've been there. Tractor snowplowing is work but it is so much more enjoyable especially in a cab. I spent decades shoveling, tractor 2wd plowing, truck plowing, backhoe plowing, walk behind snowplowing including roofs, tractor open station blowing and cab tractor blowing. We've done it together brother. 5 years ago while blowing snow in my open station tractor wearing a snowmobile helmet snow plastered my face as the visor kept fogging and was open...instance brain freeze and pain. When I came inside covered with snow I told my wife I want a cab tractor and never looked back. No matter what we use the move snow we are in the battle together...as you've seen I join the work with my neighbors. You're probably my age lets not give up and keeping busy. I'm lucky to have you and your comment grounding me and my channel. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@curtcarter3945]

Hey Pete Curt here I’ve seen other guys lift there snow blower up if the snow is taller than the blower then drive into the tall drift a few feet up too your front wheels then back up and lower the blower and then take out the rest of the drift !! Quick question you plug your cab beacon light into the power port inside the cab where and how do you get the wire inside the cab ?? I was thinking as long as the ground is frozen like I’m sure it is under all those feet of snow you have gotten up there you don’t have to worry about scalping the lawn it’s hard as a rock !! No worries ! Only if it was not frozen it would dig in ? I can’t even drive on my lawn unless it’s frozen ! I can with my golf cart !! LOL ! But not a 5,000 lbs tractor !

[@maraudermitchelli]

Curt good questions. Although lifting the blower in deep snow is less dramatic on video I think it is a great idea. I think I did that many years ago after a 3 foot storm. Thank you for the great advice. I open the rear window to route the strobe wire from the roof into the cab...I can't remember if I tuck it into the window trim to neaten the wire management up...what ever I did it doesn't bother me. Even when the ground is frozen my blower will shave the grass and some soil and blow it across the yard. The more frozen the ground the better. Most damage grows and removes prior to the first mowing. I still feel bad and don't like scalping even my lawn. Usually by the time the snow hits the ground is frozen enough to support the tractor. Curt nice to hear from you with great ideas thank you for supporting my channel.

Looks like your tractor barely fits inside the garage door. You have mentioned that you use cetane boost in your fuel and you feel the engine is running a lot better. I too occasionally use cetane boost as well in my 6.5 powered truck. You might want to consider trying to tank full of off-road diesel it packs a lot more energy than the on-road diesel. That cab on your John Deere look so comfortable I had a Ford 5000 and 2000 tractors no cab. Not even a ROPS open roof.

[@maraudermitchelli]

My fuel is off-road fuel, and I do use cetane winter additive and this engine was rocking it out this day for sure. I ran an open station for 50 years...you don't have to remind me how could it is....but it was fun when I was young. Thank you.

Greg this is the same Northeastern snow storm that hit January 17...we received 20" overnight and almost another 12" during the day. I think opening the door helped get the moisture out of the cab...and I was in the tractor so long my cloths dried off. Over 4 hours of shoveling, blowing and moving cars the machine did great.

Have you had any problem greasing the front axle on the 3046?

Do yo still have this unit? Last video I saw a skid steer. How’s the weather back there this year?

[@maraudermitchelli]

James i no longer have this unit, I traded it for a track loader...which has a snowblower. The weather here is odd, a Christmas blizzard then 6 weeks above freezing, last two weeks sloppy snow March is blustery and cold...today is Sunny and warm. Crazy weather...oh we also had an earth quake.

[@tekker8308]

I love the 360 camera in the cab. Which one do you use?

[@maraudermitchelli]

Tekker thank you most viewers don't. It's a GoPro Max and it does a fine job. I like that it allows so much flexibility in editing. Happy New Year.

[@zacharybrown2289]

Great video. I was wondering how tall your garage doors are? I’m think about getting a cab tractor but don’t want to leave it outside.

[@maraudermitchelli]

I believe it is 94.5"...if you can I would measure a machine at the dealership as sometimes the specifications listed are not correct. Thank you for supporting my channel

[@mr.redneck2715]

With the garage doors open you can literally get all the snow!

[@maraudermitchelli]

Maybe, when I use to plow I would open the doors. Thank you maybe I'll try that with the blower. Be safe.

[@Tahoe814]

Need to RAIN X the windows

[@maraudermitchelli]

Now I run the ac with the heat it really helps. Thank you

[@sonataq14]

I noticed when you were backing away from the garage, your snowblower continued to operate. Do you have the RIO disabled? Or did you hold down the PTO button while you were backing up? Otherwise, if you are backing up while using the mid PTO, the RIO will shut down the tractor and kill the engine.

[@maraudermitchelli]

The dealer installed a sensor on the mid pto that only worked one season. Many people told me how to program the tractor. A viewer told me to stick a cloths pin under the pto button...bam that was the best suggestion and I've used it for years...simple and easy. Scott have a happy New Years.

[@jam206AR]

How bad does that blower throw rocks? I use a bucket but would like a blower. Nervous about hitting windows and such.

[@maraudermitchelli]

My driveway is paved so I don't have many rocks. You can adjust the swing on the shoot so you don't hit things with snow or rocks. If you have a stone driveway I'm not sure I would recommend a snow blower. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@SMOKINJOE2898]

Are you like retired from a normal job or still working plus helping the neighbors when you’re off?

[@maraudermitchelli]

Trucker I'm still working, area was shut down this day due to the storm I closed my office so then I could help my neighbors. Normally I help them here and there...I'm surprised and please at the response of these videos, I never gave helping a second thought. I drive our Pete and Mack from time to time, 30 years ago I did longer distances. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@John-ze3vo]

What does a tractor n snowblower like your set up cost ?

[@maraudermitchelli]

It's been a while maybe 50k there was a trade. Be safe

[@nrobinson8713]

What's in the garage? I see a lot of vehicles parked outside. That tractor and blower do a great job. Great video. Thanks.

[@maraudermitchelli]

N I hope you watch some of my other videos and you see the garage equipment being used...Polaris Ranger, RZR Trail, RZR XP Pro, Ferris Zero Turn Mower...and just me lol. I hope you are well. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Most people like myself would rather use a rear mounted snowblower than a front mounted one

[@maraudermitchelli]

Josh you're correct, I I would not like going backwards to blow snow...too many obstacles in my driveway and that's not comfortable. Happy New years.

[@Captndarty]

You are incorrect. Most people would not like to back up with a crooked neck to snowblow.

[@maraudermitchelli]

@@Captndarty I get both sides of a rear blower. It depends on the property, blower type and if the tractor has an implement on the front like a loader, blow snow pusher....happy new year

[@jamesletsch775]

What year is your tractor? How much of an investment is a setup like that?

[@maraudermitchelli]

Oh boy James...i think the tractor was a 2018 I purchased new and traded another tractor on it. The new owner contacted me he uses the tractor on a large piece of property in Connecticut. Not sure what the tractor, blower, loader and mower would cost now...new I'm guessing $65k. I'm sure a dealer would price for you and JD usually has excellent financing. I hope you are well be safe.

[@Bward216]

I want one

[@maraudermitchelli]

I don't blame. Thank you for supporting the channel be safe please

[@joecostello5182]

use your ac on heat for fog up.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Joe I did not have the ac on...but should've. That's what I do know and it works well. Thank you

[@photosbychristensen]

The plow driver should back plow from the garge

[@maraudermitchelli]

Not easy to back drag with a snow blower...but thank you for the suggestion.

[@josephalberta1145]

Is this around Buffalo or Syracuse or??

[@maraudermitchelli]

Yes I live near Buffalo. Thank you for supporting my channel stay warm...peace.

[@Franisboche]

How is the snowblower powered? mid pto or?

[@maraudermitchelli]

WB yes there's a driveshaft from the midpoint PTO. You may want to watch my videos on installing the snow blower...ugh it's a lot of work. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@lounar482]

People don't realize how tiring doing something like this is....plus the constant stress of evaluating how to do it and worrying about buried objects.. Looks like you've sized your unit just right. Sometimes being bigger is a problem with access and maneuvering.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Boy oh boy are right thank you for understanding it is very stressful.

[@Patrick-kc5ur]

Don't even bother talking when using the blower, it's almost unintelligible anyway. You can edit in any comments you have as you did and they are way more understandable. That blower does a fantanstic job right down to 1/8" of the ashphalt!

[@maraudermitchelli]

Okay Pat I'll try not to talk. Thank you be safe.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

I have a massey 5455 with a 10 ft snow pusher on the front and a 7 ft 3 point snow blower on the back. I would never help anyone around me, they never talk to me or if they do they want something fixed. I told them to G F T S. People $uck.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Some people are not nice. But I will tell you for years I helped my neighbors and never received any recognition and would still do it all over a good as it was the right thing to do and made me feel so good. Sir give a try you'll be surprised it will come back to you in many ways. I actually felt so selfish as it was such a good feeling to help others. I'll pray that your neighbors will appreciate you...they must look up to you if they ask you for help...you have a gift to be able to fix things. We had a Massey when I was a kid great tractor be safe and thank you.

[@doomman700]

I won’t get within 24” of a garage door

Are you labeling yourself as a hero? Kinda arrogant don’t you think….

[@maraudermitchelli]

I clearly state in the video and first thing in the video description my tractor is the hero. I was very prideful of the job the tractor did this day…that may be arrogant or self centered but it is the truth.
