Breaking in a New Snowplow

[@EhhWhatsUpDocc]

Love the Video Stan, I really enjoyed running that plow and testing it out for you! Thanks again!

[@mikegarratt5963]

It was amazing to see stan let fan of the channel run a plow with his machine, dylan the look on your face was priceless when he asked ya to run it. I used to work for a company in kamloops bc canada 🇨🇦 ran equipment and wished we had a plow like this, would have made life easier.

[@davidsonlawn3035]

You did a nice job in the op seat! Well done Dylan.

[@iwuvmycolts]

You did a great job, young man!!

[@erinrobinson8930]

Looks like all that Bob The Builder really paid off, Dyl 🚜

[@traocheckbeforeyoubuy4609]

That was really cool to see that happen

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

I love how you actually hung out with the kid and talked to him. you could have just said hello and sent him on his way but I think it just shows that you are just a genuinely good guy Stan.. Keep it up man

[@doogie64]

And one of them has ink on their hands....they can’t be bad people...😉

[@doogie64]

@DD PN I didn’t mean to offend. I have many hours of ink on me too. It was a compliment actually. 👍🏼

[@CountrysideStrong]

Truely genuine Stan. Not many people would do what you did. You not only educated that kid today, you made his day and gave him an exclusive opportunity to brag about for quite some time. First class buddy💪💪

[@Dirtmonkey]

Haha it was awesome for me too ☺️

[@MEIZ5]

This young man that came up to you I can tell has experience. His a go getter for sure. His enthusiasm is awesome. Just saying... maybe put him on board next season. These young bucks are hard to find now a days. I’m thankful I found one...

[@frankie0222]

Tell me about it dads ready to retire im taking over our business i can't find anyone that wants to work at all im getting all the sob stories they last a week if that i need an employee like dylan

[@Dirtmonkey]

A keeper for sure 👍😊

[@MEIZ5]

I’ve been in the business for 34 years. I worked with my Dad through high school, My Dad started the business in1984, lawn and landscaping. Both of us were certified in turf pesticides for NYS. I keep my certification going.. I tried the college thing. It was night school at MCC. I was 18 years old. My last class would end around 10:00pm. We’re talking 1986. During the day before class we cut, split.and delivered firewood on the off season. I was green on plowing snow. Just my back story. 1989, five plow trucks. Mostly commercial, 40 or so driveways. Ya call the drivers in at 1:45am. Two of the drivers were a no show. Back to that young man that showed up to say hi and ran your equipment. That’s priceless. All of jobs are south, and,east of Rochester NY. I love your Channel. Donnie Meisenzahl

[@mattmakes8106]

Glad to see Stan take the time out of his (work)day to talk to Dylan. Love to see real people out there with a camera instead of acting one way and filming another. Great video Stanley. Keep up the good work.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate it 😌

[@Thatranchhand6.0]

Hey Stan you should get Dylan a job working with y’all he looks like he’s a hard worker and he pretty good at running a skid steer.

[@ethangrolbert2899]

100% agree with you

[@georgemcbride4858]

Pretty good interview if you ask me 👍 I'm thinking we might see Dylan in some more videos in the future.

[@dukebacher1216]

Stan & Sam- Great video... guess the extra time on the fittings was for a good reason, as you guys got to meet Dylan. I think more than anything, a friendship was made. I can tell you from experience that having friends with the right attitude and resources is beneficial for both sides. Dylan, by the number of positive comments, you've impressed a BUNCH of us on here... and Stan, as usual, you've proven (again) what a class act you are. God Bless and Go Get 'Em!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Love the genuineness! Thanks so much for the love Duke 👍 Appreciate ya & God Bless

Stan you are a great person. What a generous gift you gave to that kid.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for spreading the love Evan, appreciate it!

[@andrewthoman2930]

Awesome video! Nice to see a different perspective on the arctic plows! Very cool of you to let Dylan Test out the plow!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Andrew!!

[@Iamthathillbilly]

Man that was awesome of you to not only acknowledge the guy stopping and talk to him a bit, but then let him run the machine, get him involved and take him for lunch. The more I watch this channel the more I feel like you’re a genuinely good guy

Great video, Love the young kids enthusiasm. haven't plowed in a few years but at 66 I feel the same way, I miss working the snow.

Wow! Kinda excited for the day that I ‘miss’ snow lol

[@BestBettsPools]

That’s awesome you took the kid out to lunch with you. Hope you guys had some good eats. You should hire him.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Nothing like playing with leaking hydraulic fittings and freezing temperatures! Nice work boys thank you !

[@jerrystott7780]

There used to be a thread sealer for hydraulic fittings that was a red liquid called a anaerobic sealer we used on ships. You put it on similar to locktite, but it was a sealer instead of thread lock. Have a great day.

[@Verifraudreports]

loctite makes a version of this, i think its green for hydalic

[@AndyFromm]

Anaerobic sealer is red and it is recommended sealant on the supercharger connection on a 89-97 thunderbird sc (aluminum to aluminum connections). I have some sitting on my tool box.

[@Asphalt_Cowboy_815]

You're probably thinking of Loctite 510. I use it on flange style fittings with a gasket as well. I've never used it on hydraulic fittings. For hydraulic fittings I've always used Loctite 545, 5452, or 567.

[@AndyFromm]

@@Asphalt_Cowboy_815 518

[@jerrystott7780]

@@AndyFromm I was using it in the early to late eighties, wasn't sure if it was still around, we put it on hydraulic fittings in the shipyards and later on I used it in construction equipment repairs.

[@ronmacdonnell4793]

The view on the blade that shows how this plow works is awesome! Great video, and even more great that this young fella came in all cowboy and got to try it out!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the love 😊

The kind of boss everyone wants. Then again I'm the boss, so thats cool too 😆.

Nice to see a young guy with so much humility , Great guy and good for Stan to talk to the guy in a nice easy manner, i would employ him in a heartbeat

[@Dirtmonkey]

Aw appreciate it 😌👍

[@josephplatt9677]

Love the video and it was awesome to see you interact with a fan on camera

Dillon was pretty damn good at running that skidsteer and plowing. Seems like an all around good person.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Agreed 😊

[@JustinEdinborough]

That was awesome letting him run it. And how he loved it. That speaks for Artic.

[@Dirtmonkey]

He’s amazing!

[@chrissheerman]

Stan you realize the 3 hours messing around with fittings was just ment for you to meet that fan. Timing. At least thats how I look at such things the past few years. Thanks for all the work you do you inspire others to do great things

[@gabeoverley1191]

Love how you let him run skid loader and take him to lunch too so nice

[@vryce6322]

Say what you will. The fact that you were willing to let a random kid run your equipment after talking to him for a couple of minutes was really cool. Sure he said he knew what he was doing but it was still a gamble. The cherry on top of sundae was when you asked if he had time to let you take him to lunch. Stanley, you are a true gentleman and I hope that you never change. I wish more people were like you.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate that immensely brother!

But I love how your so cool if a fan comes up to you and your so cool and let him plow. Awesome

[@Dirtmonkey]

Felt right 😊

coming from a plumber theres special stuff called leak lock we dont use it because it works too good and wont let anything leak put some of that in your truck and i promise you if theres an emergency that stuff will last a life time also big fan. Keep working hard !

Time to hire Dylan. Looks like a team member already!

[@ktcustom778]

You talked me into Wolfpaws in one of your videos a couple years back.. Bit the bullet for last season. Wore them out inside of 1 season. This year running 235/85R16 Toyo M55's. Yes radials. I will never go back to regular skid steer tires pushing snow. The wolf paws were great but hard to source in my area. These TOYO M55 radials have been bullet proof. (used to sell hundreds of them in my tire jockey days). I run a 10,200lb 97HP skiddy pushing a HLA 8'/13' snow wing. Ice is still ice and can be tricky. Until last season, I had NEVER stalled my machine pushing snow. Now it's a regular occurrence to run out of power rather then the typical spinning out. Appreciate all of your candid feed back and honest opinions.

[@DouglasUphoff]

DUDE, I hope you got that kid's contact info. He'd make an awesome employee. He jumped in and started kicking butt and taking names. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

[@georgeking5746]

I used to manage a hydraulic hose and fitting store and have replaced tons of that type of hydraulic quick connect. I am betting some of your leak problems is that the hydraulic hose end is not female pipe thread and your adaptor between the hose and quick connect looks like male pipe thread on both ends. You may want to check that out.

[@threeleggedog4140]

Yes, and anytime you work on hydraulics, wear PPE. Ever see hydraulic injection into flesh.. baaad stuff...

[@dennyk2585]

I’m not a snow plower or landscaper but for some reason i still live to watch you videos. It must be because of your drive and online personality Stan. Plus i enjoy your equipment tests. Also im a fellow Minnesotan. Keep making great content

[@lukekoch19]

3:00 Did you get a new skid-steer? Looks like some nice orange paint!

[@dexewing1]

That's the Manitou skid steer he misplaced the video footage of. Hopefully he can locate it and upload.

[@MrBigblueford]

I love my plow on my skid, Its awesome for tight areas, I can sweep in angle plow and scoop snow out of super tight areas, no back dragging and floating over snow. The plow digs right in and scrapes down wile scooping snow out of the area needed, plus if I need to I can still wind row snow as a regular plow would do on a truck. By far id rather have a plow on a skid steer than a box blade.

[@iwuvmycolts]

At the 17:00 mark, I'm dying laughing because I said to myself, "Stan has put this fan to work!" Great upload!! Ps... And Dylan, the fan, did a great job!!

[@jayroberts5705]

I have a tip that will make connecting your hydraulic fittings a little easier. Grab a can of carburetor cleaner and spray on the ends. It'll clean everything off and it dries very quickly. I've used this on the farm for years and won't go back. Hope this helps in your area too. 👍

[@royamberg9177]

Teflon tape gets into valves and causes problems. I use good pipe dope when possible

[@Chris_at_Home]

I found that out years ago. A plumber once told me thread tape is to lube the threads, pipe dope seals them. I have done a lot of propane and gas plumbing over the years and when I went to using pipe dope leaks went away.

[@electrohacker]

Yeah we had a contractor use tape on a test cell fuel system and the pumps jammed with ripped off pieces of tape

[@thomaspaquette9991]

@@Chris_at_Home correct. It acts as a lubricant to allow for deeper seating of threads and that’s what actually keeps leaks from happening. It also keeps it from seizing therefore making it easier to take off.

[@lancerasmussen8580]

Great video! One of my favorites so far! Love seeing another fan stop by to say hello and get a chance to plow with you. Never happen to me here in Boise, ID. No snow.

[@Dirtmonkey]

[@damoose1829]

Just a fyi. You don't need tape on a O-ring fitting. And yes. The thread tape or paste in a hydraulic system is Very Bad!!!

[@kenirving5268]

Nice way to get some free labor. Dylan loved it. Everyones happy.

[@vonkanon3091]

Alright while I concede the artic has great scraping ability but cmon. You’re comparing a box pusher with a solid cutting edge to a straight plow with the sectional Moldboard and blade. SnowWolf created the ActivEdge AND the flexFrame that drastically improved scraping over the standard cutting edge. Good stuff though. Thanks for sharing.

[@aaronbrown1992]

I was just telling my wife that while watching this…the kid had the straight edge, which is the cheapest option. You dnt get the activedge, unless you have the AR400 or carbide edges. Thats why they were wearing out the edges so quick.

[@Farmingfrommyangle.]

This was awesome. So cool to see you let a "random" guy give a real POV that is in the business. Keep doing great things.

[@FishFind3000]

If you use Teflon tape you need to use the yellow one since that’s for petroleum. The white one won’t hold up to it.

[@xenonram]

It is Teflon. There isn't anything you're going to be running through pipes that will degrade it in any way, and def not petrochemicals. We use Teflon in the lab for that very reason. The difference in color is the density of the tape.

[@allendorf82]

Dope ain't going to work when it looks like a orb flat face coupler with a npt adapter lol

What’s that orange skid steer in the background when your messing with those fittings

[@stewbird]

I think it is a Manitou that he is testing. He had a look at it a couple of videos back. I think it was when he picked up the broom for the mini loader.

[@harveylong5878]

yes, nice to see a plow on a skidsteer. pushboxes for bulk work, skidsteer plow in tandem with plow trucks for detail work. We took a retired Western Unimount, a blank quiktack plate some hydraulic fittings and made our own skidsteer plow
