Snowcat Digs Out Cabin! 10 ft Fresh Utah Snow vs Bombardier BR 400

[@tomrogers9467]

I drove one of these beasts for 10 years, grooming snowmobile trails in Ontario. Loved it most of the time. Breakdowns were a real deal miles out in the middle of nowhere. Our biggest challenge was keeping enough snow on the trails. Long hours of pleasant boredom punctuated by minutes of sheer terror! 100% slopes can be really interesting when icy!

[@samlovescars34]

Oh man, sounds fun! These old machines are great.. Though they do break.. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting! More vids coming up!

[@markbaker3172]

Dropped a double diamond once woopeeee!!

[@schwags1969]

@@samlovescars34I have been working on these machines for 25 years, never a dull moment. Remember, money takes care of all the issues ;)

[@hoophil]

So cool! Love the snow and your equipment! What a great job clearing out around the house. Thanks for the video!

[@samlovescars34]

Much appreciated!! Yep, the perfect machine on a beautiful day. Hoping to film more soon! Thanks for watching!!!

I used to run a BR 400+ at Killington, They were the best cat on the mountain. I miss it every winter.

[@samlovescars34]

Nice!! Yep, they are great cats. Stu is gonna hang onto this one. Thanks a bunch for watching!!!

[@samhklm]

Without this type of help folks in Utah and most of the west will not be getting into mountain cabins this year until August.

[@samlovescars34]

Precisely! This year, it's 100% needed. More vids coming soon! Thanks for watching!!!

Yeah, I’m late to the party here but - outstanding video! Love seeing the younger dudes setting new standards of….gettin’ it done!

[@samlovescars34]

Oh yeah!! Thanks a ton!! More coming up!

[@dozerboy67]

I used to go up and run sno cats at resorts all through the Rockies and the sierras grooming ski runs and snowmobile runs and such. It was great winter work when construction was slow and it was a great time too! I would get baked and I had a bota bag full of schnapps to keep me warm and a Blaupunkt stereo to rock out all night grooming with ski bunnies! 💪👊🤙🤘

[@samlovescars34]

Sick!! Sounds pretty amazing... Snowcat culture is truly something else. Thanks for sharing!!! And for tuning in!

[@dozerboy67]

@@samlovescars34 yeah, it was wine women and song back when I was single but my old lady knows better so no more party time!😂

I love the sound of those pumps when they sing to you.

Oh yeah!! Thanks a bunch for tuning in!!

[@jeffjansen582]

Great vid, love my 02 330xi with Michelin winter snows, it's a blast to drive with a foot of fresh powder. Cheers

[@samlovescars34]

e46, EPIC. That must be amazing with those tires.. BMW is the best. This channel is named after my old e34 530i 5-speed.. It was taken out by rust, sadly... More vids coming soon! Thanks for watching!!!

[@jeffjansen582]

@@samlovescars34 The rust belt killed mine after 20 years, also a 5 speed, executive, sport and winter packages.

[@TheClifford78]

I’ve missed you not posting; then bang! Thank you!😊

Next year I'll have a truck and my mountain access will be much better.. I really appreciate you tuning in!! More vids coming asap!! Thanks for watching!!

[@tricster17]

Just discovered this video…I’m the shoveler in red and amazed I survived the trauma that was winter ‘22-23! Stu was a cabin-saver!

[@samlovescars34]

Hi there! Thanks for having us over to push snow and film the outrageous snow depth! This video has become quite popular, so thank you for providing the subject matter. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you guys are having a great winter!!

[@markbaker3172]

if you pump your blade up and down that could help, ran groomer for a few years in idaho

[@samlovescars34]

True! Thanks a bunch for watching!!! More vids coming soon

[@altacat9702]

: ) ....what did you two do to that 2002 !! Hahaha!!! ...flawless!!!

[@samlovescars34]

Stu custom-made that hoodscoop himself, using materials in his garage, as I recall.. That m10 sounded amazing... I thought he was joking when he decided to drive it through the winter, living/skiing in No. NY/VT. Those tires were a few decades old, also. HAHA! Thanks for watching!!!!

[@davidheitman7004]

insane young pepole running these machines!

[@samlovescars34]

Darn right! Thanks a bunch for tuning in!!

It's a good thing California's going to out law diesels and gas. WTF Mr. Gavin.....

[@matthoward923]

Welcome to California, please remember Don’t touch anything!

[@samlovescars34]

Oh boy.. Yeah, pretty much everything that uses diesel is VERY far from a competent EV replacement.. Especially snowcats, I reckon. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Jimmy-Legs]

Don’t be ridiculous

[@daleolson3506]

Our politicians are idiots

[@dozerboy67]

Yeah, relax, it ain’t never gonna happen

[@Bleeh8]

Do you maybe have an instruction manual for BR400 and can share it?

[@samlovescars34]

I just asked Stu and will try to get back to you soon! I'm guessing no, but maybe. In any case, thanks for watching, and I'll get back to you soon!

[@ropo772]

How deep is that snow?

[@samlovescars34]

There had been about 100 inches in the last 2 weeks.. Tons of base under that. The snow is about 15 ft. behind Stu's cabin. Total insanity!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@macbook802]

This is the machine that nearly killed Hawkeye in the avengers movie?

[@samlovescars34]

Yep, basically. Thanks for watching!!!

[@buyamerican3191]

If there is a heaven this must be it!

[@samlovescars34]

It certainly is amazing up there in Cabinland. I'm very grateful to hang around such beautiful surroundings. Thanks a bunch for watching!!!

[@attilalako9491]

What state was this in ? It looks beautiful there. I love it no neighbors around

[@samlovescars34]

It's up in Northern Utah, though I can't say the exact spot. It is amazing.. There are some neighbors, but they're well-spaced. More coming soon! Thanks for watching!!!

[@bamariverrat4095]

What does it cost to do something like that? How do people pay for it?

[@samlovescars34]

Approximately several-hundred dollars+... Pretty much in-line with what it costs to have any large equipment come to your property and do a couple hours work. So, fairly expensive, but clearly, there's NO replacement for such a machine/service. They just pay Stuart, and hopefully factored this into their house-building budget. Money well-spent in this situation. Thanks for watching!!!

[@jacksalisbury2604]

Com on Man U can run that equipment on solar.

[@samlovescars34]

haha yeah! Gotta love diesel power. Thanks for watching!!!

[@jacobspranger1267]

Grand solar minimum much?

[@samlovescars34]

Something like that, for sure. I wonder what next winter will be like... Thanks for watching!!!

[@proton9551]
