BEST WAY TO PREVENT STICKING SNOW (Kubota Tractor vs. Snow)

[@Mike-Wisconsin]

I use that on underside of my truck. Snow an salt doesn’t stick at all. I put on 2 to 3 bottles under the truck before winter an have zero rust. It works like a dream.

[@jh9855]

Jon, you are hitting the snow bonanza. Be safe.

[@ritterjon]

We’ve had a decent amount but we’ve also had some ridiculous cold windchills. I’m ready for it to warm up a little. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@smeefamily54]

Jon: thank you for the info. I was out at 05:30 this morning moving the snow. Got soaking wet, so can verify that the snow was wet. Lots up here in Petawawa, Ontario. Canada EH! Take care and stay safe. Enjoy the Holiday.

[@ritterjon]

I hope you're having a little fun moving snow like I do. Making the most of winter is better than being miserable. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

Hi Jon! Thanks for the great tip. I never would have thought of that! Love your videos as always!

[@ritterjon]

Thanks! Give it a try, I bet you’ll find it will make a difference. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

We just got 31 inches of snow and high winds were under a blizzard for 2 days it was fun moving snow yesterday... Merry Christmas to you

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Slick Trick ! Thanks for the advice I will try it on my blade and bucket for sure

[@ritterjon]

It should help a lot! Hope all is well Phil. Tell the girls I said hello and Merry Christmas! Keep on tractoring!

Good evening Jon Thank you for the tip.. Wishing you and your wife and girls a very Merry Christmas.. Stay safe and always be kind.. Cheers

[@ritterjon]

Hi Gus, Merry Christmas to your family as well. Keep on tractoring!

[@KubotaTractorTherapy]

Always love your *rear blade* action Jon ! The first year I got my BX, I broke a bunch of sheer pins, and I realized why... I was running my RPMs way too low, ( around 2200 ) now I crank the thing up until I'm at the beginning of the PTO range on the instrument panel of the tractor and haven't had any problems. Thanks for the video ! I'd do the Turtle Wax thing, but at $8,999 a bottle up here in Canada I can't do it LOL LOL

You reminded me I gotta pick up some more . Works good I use on front and rear blades 👍🎄🎁

Good to know, and I will definitely give it a try on my loader mounted snowplow blade.

Undrdog quick detail is next level and you can use it for all kinds of things I use it in my windshields and it better then rainx

[@doomman700]

What I found that works best. Get the tractor outside as it is warming up to get the blower or plow cold so the snow doesn’t collect on it right away. Then I have a little mix I spray on.

[@DnMcDy]

Hope you're right. Just ordered a couple bottles for my new battery powered snow blower. Switched from my 40+ year old gas blower.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Evening Sir, that major winter storm is causing major power loss ( 300 000 houses in Quebec alone). Yes I BELEIVE about waxed your snow equipment, but I'm a kind of oily man 🤣👍OUTSTANDING Snow plower 👍👌💪😇 Cheers 🍻🍻

[@ritterjon]

The wind, cold and snow are making it a terrible mess for so many. I bet you're surviving fine and I hope your neighbors around you are doing ok. This will pass and you'll be very appreciated because I'm sure you'll be out there helping clean up. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@MrTks1959]

Thanks Jon, great tip about the spray wax! Have you had any issues with it freezing either in the bottle or after it lands on a frozen surface? Having the snowblower clog with snow has always been the biggest issue that I've ever had with snow blowers. The way that I deal with it (after it has clogged up), is to clean it out with a strong jet of water from a garden hose. My routine is to always wash the snow and ice off after I've finished using it.

[@jimmcknight3021]

Yes indeed, great tip. We don't get enough snow for a snow blower, but I will use it on my bucket if we do get a little bit of snow. I would like to get some edge tamers so I don't mess up the Gravel.

[@tylerd4522]

Hi Jon! Have you ever tried a product called "Slip Plate"? I saw it used on a mower deck by another KZbinr back this summer, seemed to work pretty well! He did say it's a bit expensive, but worked really well. Stay warm, stay safe!

[@paacmysleta7761]

Merry Christmas to all the family. It's raining in Poland now, there's no need to clear the snow.

[@DnMcDy]

Tomorrow will be my test the spray turtle wax arrived and I soaked the inside of the EGO blower heavily. Snow forecasted tonight.

Pam cooking spray works great to

[@ritterjon]

It works well also but doesn’t last as long. Keep on tractoring!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks for this tip Jon. I'm gong to try this as the Fluid Film or cooking oil spray trick is not getting it done for me. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas buddy!!!

[@ritterjon]

Because you've been using fluid film and cooking spray the wax will have a hard time sticking at first but once it adheres if should work great for you. It's also cheaper than fluid film. Hope all is well Mike. Any snow yet? Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@ritterjon No snow here yet Jon. It blew some hard and lots of rain last night but we had no issues. No trees left to blow down I guess!! Merry Christmas!!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hey Jon. Here's a good one for ya: The Turtle Wax in the US is 12.99usd for a 2 pak and a micro fiber cloth. The same item, a 2 pak with a micro fiber cloth, in Canada is, (Are ya ready?) 41.29cdn. How's that for free trade eh!! Ya gotta love Canada eh!! Merry Christmas!!

[@earlyriser8998]

NICE WORK

[@WheelchairLiving1]

I bought some to try but haven't had the chance to see if it works yet!

[@davehumpf4479]

Next time at the store going to pick some up! Thanks for the tip.

[@Sam-pw8zh]

With super cold temperatures 🌡. How warm is that cab?

[@botabob]

Thanks for the tip John. I will pick up a bottle of the spray and wax, sounds like a good idea. The fluid film is expensive in my opinion. Living dangerously I see. What do I see at the 1:34 mark in the video? Did you forget to protect that under carriage? Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@ritterjon]

I don’t use is in the winter for two reason. It would collect more snow than it’s worth and I can’t anyway because of the PTO shaft for the snowblower. 🤷‍♂️ Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@williamfenner9915]

Have you ever tried DuPont Teflon Snow and Ice Repellant, 10-Ounce by DuPont?

[@ritterjon]

Didn’t know they made it, but now I’ll be looking. Keep on tractoring!

[@wildbill23c]

Don't get enough snow here in southwestern Idaho to worry about snow removal most of the time, and I didn't even bother putting the snow blower on my lawn tractor this year. Figured if we actually get enough I might put the blower on, otherwise I'll just wait a day or so for it to melt and go away...worst case I can hookup the rear blade on the Kubota, but so far haven't needed to, my BX hasn't moved out of the shop since the end of October, and don't see it moving until mid to late spring most likely.

[@ritterjon]

Sounds like you’re overdue for a little tractor seat time. I’m surprised you don’t get much snow where you’re at. At least when you do you’ll be ready. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@wildbill23c]

@@ritterjon In the year and a half I've had my BX I've managed to put 63 hours on it. The more it sits the happier I am, it means I don't have a huge project list to try and tackle LOL. I'm hoping to pickup a flail mower this year and if that's the case it's going to get much more use. I have a couple of 1/2 acre properties that I have to keep mowed down as the people who own them don't have equipment to do it....I've been using the mid mount mower on the BX but that's hard on a lawnmower deck, need something more robust to keep the weeds and small saplings at bay.

[@ritterjon]

@@wildbill23c A flail mower will be the perfect attachment for that job. 👍

[@wildbill23c]

@@ritterjon I think so too. Not trying to cut brush, just grass and 1/2 inch or smaller saplings occasionally. I was going to get a 48" rotary cutter but don't really need something that heavy duty, and all that mower hanging off the back of the tractor in a smaller fenced area would be cumbersome. The flail mower is a much smaller unit to have on the back of the tractor.

[@ryanvalleyirrigation]

Hello jon I am not happy January is rain. Really what happened to deep snow for Michigan I miss it a lot. How much snow did you get jon we got 4 inches of snow I want deep snow 10 inches of snow 6-10 10-20 10-15 snow. I wish we could get it again like we used. I hope we don't get rain In February. I want snow please. Deep snow. I want snow like we used to get.

We have over a foot of snow on the ground and it's blowing all over creating drifts everywhere right now. Should be some fun cleaning it all up this weekend. Keep on tractoring! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@terryk3118]

I've already tried WD-40. That was disappointing. So after a couple weeks, are you still a believer in spray wax?

[@ritterjon]

I’ve been using wax for two seasons now. It works better than anything else I’ve tried. Go for it 👍 Keep on tractoring!
