Snowcat Drags Tractor Up Mountain! EPIC Deep Snow vs BR 400. Utah!

Check out part 2! • Post-Storm Snow Remova...
The old Bombardier hath proven itself again. Thanks for watching!! Utah!

[@MacGyver2154]

A little more information about this, where, why, ect. Good video of conditions.

[@samlovescars34]

Thanks! I cannot reveal the exact location to maintain some privacy for the residents, but it's a private cabin community up in No. Utah. Stu lives there and basically saves the day with his snowcatting, especially this season. He does some things for pay, but also just helps out constantly. More vids coming soon! Thank you for watching!!

[@samlovescars34]

Oh and the tractor had been broken, and needed to be hauled back to the top, after being fixed.

[@MacGyver2154]

@@samlovescars34 Thanks, not wanting exact location but general area like North Utah is great. You are doing a great job, keep putting up content and we will keep liking and subscribing. 👍

Ahhhhh… I miss Jupiter Bowl so much!

[@ropo772]

So cool to see that cat move snow. With all those cars buried its almost unfathomable, most people would never dare to venture in an area like that. thanks for sharing, definately fills the itch since i cant be there.

[@samlovescars34]

It is quite the scene up there!! More snow coming.. Thank you for watching!!

[@machine7767]

I was hoping to see the snowblower in action. You need to buy some Yankum ropes. They work a lot better than a chain. They make big ropes for farm equipment just like that.

[@NTM2009]

Kinetic ropes are great but in that case they would have spent way longer jerking on tractor then they did this way. Snow was just too deep and tractor too heavy. Not worth jerking on it when high centered and tires not helping

[@samlovescars34]

I think Stu is looking at different options currently! Thank you for watching!!

[@machine7767]

Kinetic ropes are also great for towing because they absorb the jerks that happen when towing a vehicle out.

Freakin' snowcat awesomeness, that thing is a beast! Lol @ tractor forgetting diff lock

You are living the DREAM! More POW to ya! ❄️

[@samlovescars34]

Thank you!! More coming soon!!

[@snowcatcowboy]

I would have had both Diff locks on the whole way! We’ve run Bi-Di’s for years! Great machines but the snowcat is handy for that much snow!

[@samlovescars34]

Yep, crazy snow depth! Thank you for tuning in!!!

[@octoberbaseballs.v.murphy7959]

The snow yielding to der Cat was cool, I wonder how much snow you had some other years, much less some years I know.

[@samlovescars34]

Yep, much less than the current amount. Thanks for tuning in!!

[@spacebike420]

Saw the thumbnail, thought how do they get a bi-directional stuck? I have farmed witha few of those for years and plowed snow with them commercially. Then you said 400 inches!! lol I get it now! we have only had one slide down a hill when plowing an overflow soccer field and pulled it out otherwise we can just wiggle the machine and push the snow away with the tires and get down to ground and drive out. That probably won't work on 400 inches and up big hills. That 145 with the 3 speeds sucks compared to the newer 6070 and a 7 speed, way better options. He should have locked that front diff the whole way and hit the rear as needed. I know I used to forget about both at times but they help tons in situations like this, especially if you have someone towing and turning you a bit. You don't really have to worry about the diff locks on on a machine like that in this much snow it is not going to damage anything. On dry pavement and both locked, bad idea. We have one 9ft schulte blower like that for a jd8530

[@tedhardulak7698]

I assumed it did not have Dif locks. Cant imagine not using them. And he keeps spinning and digging in.

[@samlovescars34]

Yep, wild conditions this year. Great info! More vids coming soon! Thank you for watching!!

Is this at Deer Valley? Nice New Holland tractor too. Love you videos.

[@samlovescars34]

Thank you so much! I cannot reveal the exact location in order to maintain some privacy for the residents, hopefully! Thank you for watching!!

[@williamgibb5557]

Turn the tractor around and start blowing. Keep the snowcat hooked up to help moving up hill. I was a private contractor and plowed for the state . To get to the state roads, I plowed the county roads. You do what you need to do the first time.

[@samlovescars34]

Interesting!! We'll keep that in mind. Thank you for watching!!

[@baddaddybrady2]

Where’s this ? Great snow!

[@samlovescars34]

Yes it is! It's No. Utah. Hate to leave people in the dark, but I can't reveal the exact location at the request of the residents and locals! Thanks so much for watching though, and major videos coming soon!!

If you work at a ski resort do you collect unemployment during the summer the opposite of a construction worker or do you get laid off for the winter and just work for them instead of unemployment just curious I do paving so I get winters off lol

[@smitedude]

I live in park city utah and i dont know one human colllecting unemplpyment.... You work to live hwrw not just sit.

Which resort or Canyon?

[@samlovescars34]

And hopefully watching my vids, haha. Thank you for watching!!

[@roballan4944]

I can't believe they have a tractor on a snow hill with no diff locks... And a snow cat without a winch..

[@hartstudebakerkid]

So now they can use that NewHolland to keep that parking area cleared and plow a section of that road so that you do not have to but you will have to plow that tunnel section down.

[@samlovescars34]

yep, precisely. Hopefully it goes well! Thank you for watching!!

[@waynetaylor5227]

well that should fill the reservoirs

[@samlovescars34]

Let's hope! Thank you for watching!! More vids coming soon!

[@bradh74]

So you had to drag a tractor to the top of a mountain to unbury cars (with the snow blower) so that they could leave the mountain, after he cleared the road with the blower? Cool! I want one of those but four season capable, with the ability to float and cross icy waters and rivers.

[@samlovescars34]

Exactly. And that would be nice... Some kind of river-fording snowcat. I suppose it exists, basically, called the Sherp, albeit without tracks. Slap tracks on a sherp, and there you have it! Thank you for watching!!

[@bradh74]

@@samlovescars34 Sherps are pretty awesome but I think that Snow cat has it beat on the mountain! I'm like a kid I want one of everything! Too bad I don't have the time or money to get all that stuff and play with it! That's a young fit mans game anyway, you can get yourself in a real mess and then you'd need rescued. So have fun and be safe!

pb100 with a blower would have been way easier. this cat is cute compared to 100s even with a blade. bison x or pb400 would drag that tractor up a hill sideways
