Snow plowing

Plowing snow, March 2017, winter storm Stella. Using a 3/4ton Dodge pickup, Toro snow blower, and Cat d4c bulldozer

[@TXH1138]

One thing I've noticed. When your buddies need help, you're always there to help, but when you need help, it's your Dad there to help.

[@xmassan20906]

Can only imagine how happy Andrew's customer are. Going gets tough, here comes the heavy equipment.

[@brindongrammy5800]

I just fixed my 1994 toro power lite. (Bad ignition module) started on the third pull after not running for over 2 years. The sound was so nostalgic 👍

[@kentrush8250]

You're rough on equipment which is required for the tough work and situations you find yourself. Fortunately you seem to be able to fix most anything. Thanks for sharing!

[@mpccenturion]

Reminds me of being a 14 yr old and the holidays with my grandfather. The snow came and I plowed it with a 49 D4. Manual everything except raise and lower. Memories!

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

So satisfying watching the CAT push snow

[@jeff-pt8ep]

Haha, you're a beast Andrew!! So many gems in this video. For me this time it was the lil baby snow blower, haha, with all the toys you have, of course you have that lil fella... Pushing the truck with the dozer, Noice!... Curious how you have so many toys... Dozers, mini x's, big x's, dump trucks, skid steers, and I mean plural of each... I know you own a business and you work hard, but you have a lot of toys/equiptment… It's like you always pull some big machine out and i'm like yep, of course he has one of them... My man!

[@dloglesby57]

Loved the " New" snow plow with the Cat d4c. really needed that and so glad you had that up there.would like to see more of your plowing during winters. find it interesting..

[@tedtimmis8135]

Who would’ve thought that snow plowing could be exciting? Great video!

Thanks

I could have watched another hour of you plowing with your bull dozer! Excellent video. More plowing videos please.

[@ibrafull]

when you're cleaning snow like this, you need friends.)))

[@jeffherbel6269]

That looks like some serious snow... just what a dozer is made for!

[@BrianIsdale]

That was some sweet editing when starting the CAT. The engine cranking was to the rhythm and it started the break down or drop or whatever. Very nice. Little thing like that set you apart from any old person video taping their work.

Handyman Jack and a Come-a-Long, two handiest tools under the seat of the 1999 3/4 ton RAM. Cheers when you climbed on the Cat. We don't have snow like that here but just a couple of hours east our dump trucks have snow plows. Carry on.

[@gooch1013]

Cool Video!

Ram tough baby I've got a Meyer plow on mine a bit rusty but I like my truck!

[@baileymiller546]

Awesome video, just wanted to ask what kind of flares are those? I want to get some for my truck. Gonna remove some little bits of rust then put them on

[@ckm-mkc]

The comealong after sliding off the road - BTDT in Maine on a winding road up to a cabin - took 6 people 4hrs to get the Jeep unstuck....

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Rule of thumb when pulling a vehicle out is that it goes out the way it went in. So backwards in this video :-) Sure you knew that already and there were other reasons you went forward to get it back on the road. Looked like quite some work with basic tools. Marking the roads with guide sticks also helps with plowing (they are everywhere here at 63deg North during winter. They install them every fall and are like 5-10 meters apart) I have really enjoyed your videos tonight and learnt quite a few things from you. Thanks a lot!

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks. Yes, I agree. Markers would have prevented me from getting couple times here.

[@douglasknutsen]

Andrew, consider putting a posi-traction differential into the rear axle of your Dodge . It's most likely a Dana 70 . I found the best price for it on Ebay and the installation kit. A posi unit in the rear axle of that truck will back a huge difference in your plowing.

[@RBFR01]

wow the car is so much better and faster at snow plowing than a bulldozer

[@geekbot5000]

Awesome as always.

[@ohyeahthatsright3155]

[@johnkaunzner4326]

Cool video I feel your pain brother been plowing a long time with a 7'6" straight blade little tip dont angle your blade all the way to one side 3/4 angle is all you need unless you are just cleaning up you get more toss and further and it's easier on the truck, plow and steering and you can push snow further and taller and it doesn't get your tires as close to the edge of the road less chance of dropping a tire and getting buried trust me this is constructive criticism not shit talking coming from a guy that has made many mistakes and had to figure it out by himself with no friends or heavy equipment just trying to share some knowledge to make your life a little more easier and profitable keep up the hard work and the good videos

[@renof2505]

D4 snow pushin, good stuff!

[@polishfarmer7434]

Great video !

[@ryboflavin2160]

absolutely love your videos, and I've met you before! Stumbled upon them and recognized the light bar on your b50! Keep up the good work!

[@AndrewCamarata]

rybo flavin thanks, where have we met?

[@ryboflavin2160]

On Ohayo mtn road, there was a house fire(I'm a fire-fighter) right next to where you were working, later on we had a short convo about your b50

[@AndrewCamarata]

rybo flavin ok, yeah I remember that.

[@theepicgamingchannel9918]

One thing you need is a light for it to be legal

[@asphaltwarrior1]

If you look at the overhead shot of the truck you can see the amber strobe. Not all plowing situations and not all locations require the use.

[@christhorndike4614]

Hey Andrew, quick question. Do you plow every 6-8” or just after every storm? Been contemplating getting into plowing some residential lots, have a gmc 2500hd and it came with a plow when I bought it used from a landscaper and seeing what people recommended.

[@caderamsey8878]

That drone footage is awesome! what year is that dodge/Ram pickup?

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks, its a 1999

[@bbqpitboybillyricker-pitma9415]

That’s a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Sweptline pickup truck with a Western snowplough in the front of a pickup truck.

[@MM2009]

Whats the drone used? Nice captions

[@Danv941]

That was a fun video!

[@cubleycat]

I notice everyone in the states seem to use chains or steel cable for towing, is there a reason for this only I find a heavy duty nylon tow rope is less violent and helps in these situations.

[@briangagne6085]

Looks like you get a lot of snow up there Andrew, you should add a grader with a wing and Dozer to your Fleet I have three of them myself and keep very busy in the winter plowing snow in Canada

[@tedwpx123]

do you have lockers on your axels?

[@lebleup]

Use a 2007 RAM 1500 4X4 with an 8ft Western plow myself. At high altitude , chains on all 4 and about 600lbs of weight in the bed, bring on the snow!

[@dwanepaul4237]

Meeeow. the CAT don't play. Great vid.

[@-Battle-Cry-]

I know what you were thinking during this day. "I'm definitely not charging enough.."

[@masshole1373]

Good amount of snow there, you still getting out on the sled? I made it to NH last weekend and got some sledding done. Pushing the truck was so worth a tail light fix.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Mass Hole yeah I have been out a few times, I didn't bother making more snowmobile videos because people would probably be bored of that. The tail light got hit by backing into a tree during the hard snow when I couldn't see, and the first time I didn't make it up a steep hill, and slid backwards/sideways into a cliff, not when pushing that out. Those lights are cheap, they break often.

[@BarnStangz]

Great video man! That drone is making for some fantastic shots! And good thing for the dozer! Snow is always a challenge when you get dumped on like that! And I have the same two stroke Toro like you, baby gets on the pipe nice when the snow is deep like that! :D

[@AndrewCamarata]

BarnStangz yeah, it was a bit much snow, needed chains for many driveways, that Toro is nice.

[@BarnStangz]

Do you put chains on the front of the truck too? Wide open playing bobby hammer time is the best! Man I miss snow, we didn't get any this year. I like to play in it a few times, then it just becomes a pain in the ass. What other projects are you working on?

[@AndrewCamarata]

BarnStangz I never tried the front, I was thinking about it though. Just a bunch of repairs now. I want to start my tower soon. And I have a "how to build a heavy duty auto bumper" video almost finished.

[@BarnStangz]

Looking forward to that bumper, if I get that dump truck I'm going to need to modify the tailgate like your F800. I'll have to send you an email. I'm going to try and get that truck today.

[@brianmaguire528]

"Like the hat" Big cat to the rescue. Ta!

[@deanmeyer1815]

A recovery strap works so much better than a chain and is easier on equipment, too.

[@justinaulgur9812]

I agree but they get frozen and hard to use sometimes

[@Smittyschannel]

You really need a V plow to bust thru deep snow & keep your truck on a straight path. It breaks the pressure of trying to push deep snow off to one side

[@bd8026]

Like how you pulled it out. Forward won’t work. Raise and pull back onto road. Like heavy rescue.

[@MrSaemichlaus]

This looks like Topgear are testing a plow :D

[@haasgaatjeniksaan9018]

Can u put same collor on all your verhicles so its regogniseble

[@johncase2974]

I’m just curious, with all the snow plowing and other work that you do, whether on or next to the roads, why no safety lights on your truck ? I’m taking about LED strobe lights ? I’m only asking out of concern for safety and definitely not trying to be a hater.

[@daddysteel3514]

Good as new!

Recovery operations can be very dangerous, even deadly, lots of videos with shackles coming in the windshield or the back window; take care and stay safe!

I could have used a dozer when we got 6'+ several years back home. Back in 90 we had over 11 feet! Thats when us normal people just kick back and hibernate for a month and a half.

Lift the low side of the truck with the high lift, then use wood blocks to put under the tire, also you need at least 1,000 pounds of weight at the tailgate.

At my age snow isn't as much fun anymore. You seem to enjoy knocking it out. Is that one days snow storm with more coming or is it just finally time to get done with all the stuff you have going??? I can see you letting it build up for the challenge it gives you with small equipment. Now that is where a six wheel drive grader would shine big time or a plow on the ten wheeler and a mid plow under the truck to dress as you go

[@38911bytefree]

Seems like you might get better use out of those chains if you put them on the front... because it's so much heavier. (I'm not sure though, I've never used chains)

Tell ya what the new trucks now a days as in a 2019 I dont care what model when there the age of your dodge you'll not get away putting it through the paces your putting your 90s ram through. I used an 08 chevy zmax 2 years ago to plow plus I had my 95 with a plow I broke I went through 3 sets of cv axles truck only had 70000 on it. 95 I've used for 6 years it had 192000 on it when I started plowing only replace front and back u joints and a alternator. If you haven't got rid of your dodge I wouldn't you wont be happy with a new one. Good video though.

[@dw1985]

what were you plowing a field? LOL

[@41dodgee300]

Don't know much about 4x4's - you never chain up the rear first, it's a good way to blow the transfer case and drive lines

[@AndrewCamarata]

41dodgee300 what? Always put chains on the back tires. I've never put them on front.

[@41dodgee300]

Your gear ratios in the front are a point smaller than the back, when you enlarge the diameter of the rear by adding chains you can override the front causing it to put strain on xfer case and possibly break stuff, I've operated 4x4's and plowed snow for over 35 years and seen many people break drive trains doing what this guy is doing, lot of $'s to fix !!! If your going to chain it's front or both, you'll never break
