Tractor Vs Skid steer: head to head Competition using a NEW snowplow system 4k

We go to Canada and test out a new snowplow system on a Kubota tractor and put it against a Kubota Skid steer. The Canadians Run a lot of Tractors with snowblowers on the back and claim they can beat a skid loader plowing lots. Let's test that.
More info on the plow in this system at : www.plowingequi...

[@ricepadi29]

That was pretty awesome and those rotating wings seemed super efficient.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for watching the video and glad you liked it !!

[@VIDEOCOTECH]

Thank you for stopping by to watch. Yes our CEO is amazing when it comes to design. Those wings are not the only part that is impressive on the PPCR. He thought about how to make it self De-Ice how to lower vibrations for driver comfort. There is quite a bit of subtle details that make a big difference in operation.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Looks like you guys had a fun time playing in the snow. Great video, Stan.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Don !

[@firecaptaintom6670]

The blower moving that wet heavy nasty was most impressive.

[@bubbamuddigger6252]

I’ve been running a similar setup for 3 years. Metal pless up front with a pronovast cyclone in the back. Perfect hoa machine

[@kobelcofan]

Comes to show you how well those dirt tracks work in the snow. It's amazing how well some of these little tractors handle in the snow and in the mud.

[@VIDEOCOTECH]

We have had lots of practice trying to get the best and most efficient means to clear out this way. We certainly get tested by mother nature around here.

[@stevewebb6021]

Great video, we had a pretty good winter in northern BC, Canada this year too. Very nice to see you put in some Canadian content with the guys from Coetech eh. I also have a plate on my tractor as do all equipment running on the road here. Considering upgrading this year to a similar tractor and setup as they have there with that tractor so very interesting to watch. Sounded like you were doing commentary at a hockey game there for a bit with all that excitement. Well done.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Steve!

[@VIDEOCOTECH]

Glad you stopped to have a look. We really do appreciate That Stanley made the trip for us. FYI we are also extending ourselves to dealers much past Quebec. We are currently working with a few to get down your way. If there is anyone you would most recommend please let us know. We are looking to make some quality partnerships. [e-mail]

The "whatever this stuff is" is glycol type 1. Its a heated de-icer to melt away frost and snow. Theres also type 4 which is a green goo which is an anti-icer usually applied after type 1 when it is snowing.

[@JCLandscaper88]

Another great video. Thanks again. I think your boots might have impressed me the most. Both machines slipping and sliding. But not Stan the Man.

[@michaelparkin8216]

That tractor setup is sweet

[@VIDEOCOTECH]

It is our favorite way to do things around here. Or do you mean how slick it now looks in black? Our John Derre is also done out black.

[@martinbelisle4961]

Man that kubota tractor looks real good in that colour

[@VIDEOCOTECH]

We like to think so as well. Our John Deere is also blacked out.

[@JDseller1]

The tractor has the weight on the backend with that blower stuck out so far back. Also they stacked the deck against the skidsteer by using one with construction tracks. One with even rubber tires would have pushed better than the construction tracks. I think their blades has possibilities. I would like to see it in more "normal" snow over this slushy snow. In this video the blade did a terrible job of cleaning the pavement. I would have a lot of complaints leaving that much slush on the pavement. Thanks for showing us these different "tools" that are out there.

[@Dirtmonkey]

You're welcome, thanks for the comments !

[@gurgisgutters725]

Tractor=no traction. On the other hand, Stan, I love the kweef recovery comment!🤣👊🏼. I may have said something worse. I see the snowblower almost hit everything. This is what i HATE about my pull plows. I hit a power transformer a few days ago with it.... scared the hell out of me!

[@travishaskell6897]

I like when you tell us time stamps... I always try to watch your whole video but sometimes I want to watch the action but I'm on a time limit.... like breaks at work... and like to know where to get what I want from the video!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Got it Travis, thanks for watching !

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

They have a great system with the blower on the back where the weight is distributed pretty evenly throughout the tractor giving it better traction on ice especially. I'm not sure what tracks were on the skid steer, but it was definitely at a disadvantage in this case. That was fun to watch, especially watching the blower at the end getting the snow out of the way. I'd just the to see what would happen if a stone got picked up and where it might end up. I bought an old Arien's blower, about a '79 model for $60 that had a blown head gasket. I replaced the head gasket, tuned it up and made my own custom chains out of 5/16" chain as the chains I looked at were pretty cheap looking and I would have had to cut out half the chain to fit my tires and it works quite well and for the same price. Also had to replace the impeller shaft bearing and added reinforced rubber pads to the impellers which seemed to help it out a bit. I also took the tires off, cleaned the rims and all the rust out and then after painting the rims cut some old bicycle tubes to use as liners to protect the tubes. Thanks for sharing.

[@tom95521]

Living all my life along the coast of California where it never snows this seems really strange. First time I saw a pickup with a plow on the front I thought it was for pushing dirt. Looks like the tractor with the variable width plow and snowblower attachment is really handy up north.

[@patdenney7046]

I have wheels & tracked skid steers once 99 horsepower in the other ones 86 horsepower my 48 horsepower tractor will out plow in most conditions the skid steers For lot-less operating cost. And if he had a plow on the back of the tractor there's a lot more tricks you can do. You don't so much control the tractor with the steering you control it with the brakes and you can get extremely close to things accurately at higher speeds momentum is your friend. That's awesome the way that plowed goes in and out like that it gives you even more control. Yeah if the traction is good and you get a v type of plow or an angle Dozer and the track skid-steer will kick ass. You can also Drive the track skid steer on top of the snow if you're pushing back snow. No way with the tractor. The wheel skid steer will work really good if you have to scoop and dump to the side because the snow so deep and you have to lift it. In really deep snow where you can't push it. the snow blower I think on that tractor would be the ticket in deep snow There can be so many variables. I lived at place by Lake Tahoe , called Soda Springs in California in 1983 we got a hundred and two feet of snow. The snow was pushing houses off the foundations and propane lines we're also breaking and the house would blow up. For two weeks three to five houses would blow up a night.. It was easy to get a job for $50 an hour shoveling snow that's with a shovel. Ski resorts had a hard time keeping employees are even finding employees

[@98_ksxj]

HaHa, I was on pins and needles waiting for one to hit a car. But I could see the plow being handy in that you can trailer the plow and skid together but still have a 10ft plow. Better for those small businesses or residential accounts.

[@richscott2952]

Stan loves it he does the old huck Finn trick on these guys , maybe they’ll paint your fence this summer

[@BannerCap]

My rig is a LS 4155 with an angle blade up front and a 3 pt box scraper in the rear. I would trade out the box scraper in a heartbeat for that plow. My route is mountainous single lane paved and gravel roads. One of the neighbors has a skid steer, he struggles on anything with a slope, my tractor runs circles around it.

[@jktrenching9181]

Have you tried the QuattroPlow by SnowWolf? We have two of them. One on a skidsteer and another on a tractor with a blower similar to the one in your video. They are a bit slower when changing between push and pull but we love the ability to angle them while pushing/pulling.

[@karatejoe5049]

That's a lot of moving parts on the business end of that thing. And you're supposed to store it outside in the winter?

[@DanMarcelino]

Those tracks on the skiddie are just making icy patches all over.. tractor could really use some chains and be an awesome machine.. maybe better with a model smaller or two

[@Veerless]

8:36 “....I think that’s a girl fart” 😭😭😂

[@TheTomkat13]

Does that tractor not have cutting brakes? I feel like you need them to turn when the bucket or plow is down.

[@rhadden8976]

Just so you know, planes are deiced using a process known as hot water deicing. Depending on manufacturer and weather conditions they will be spraying a mixture of hot water 180 degrees f and ethylene glycol or propylene glycol.

[@906patriot6]

How many cars did the tractor back into with the blower ?

[@alphonsotate2982]

You get special equipment tags for driving on the road just like any vehicle with insurance YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WORKING STROBE LIGHT ON TOP TURN AND BRAKE AND HEAD LIGHTS ON IT GOT TO BE STREET LEGAL .

[@FredMinville]

our driver is quite good and very comfortable with his accuracy at a high speed. We are not allowed to take our time around here. If it needs to be cleared it needs to be fast.

We are a canadian company and just to let you know we do much more than just the one featured. HLA is well known brand with a great reputation as well. We just do different things.

In all honesty, if the skid loader had snow tracks. He would have smoked him. The skid loader with snow tracks is just so maneuverable.
