I sort of liked everything, but I think having the half of the cylinder on that first plow charged with Nitrogen (basically air but more stable across temperature changes) for a faster compression on impact to help keep things in good condition is a fantastic addition. It's so simple but seems like it can do a lot to help extend the life of a pretty expensive bit of metal.

The yellow push-blade, the walk behind model. I own one. I like it. Best for small amounts of snow. It's held up well. One note, put thread-locker on all threads. Finding bolts in the snow is the only issue I've had. I use it on my 20'x40` driveway. During a snow storm, I find it works best if I move 1/2" or less. So I go out frequently. As always Stan, I appreciate your videos.
@Dirtmonkey3 жыл бұрын
That yellow pusher seemed pretty light- does it hold up well or fall apart much?
@Grumpy_old_Boot3 жыл бұрын
@@Dirtmonkey The bolts keep falling off, but as Brian said, some thread-locker will help. Apart from that it's a decent tool for 1-2 inches of light snow, less if it's wet snow. Once you go over that, the wheels don't really have enough grip to move the snow to the side, because it's so light.

Stan. This weekend I was finally able to get up to my cabin and take a good look at the driveway and I definitely over sold how bad it is. I thought it would be terrible but since there was no rain this year all the driving on it has helped it not be so bad. Also I totally thought the rocks were bigger but after I went rock picking I saw that most of them were a little bigger than my hand but there is a few big ones but not the size you probably want. Sorry about getting you super excited to come out. But maybe if I can still convince my dad (who is way easier to convince than my grandma) then maybe you can come shoot a video or two with my tractor if you want. Anyways I was super excited to finally get up north and I spent 99% of my time on the tractor doing things like grading out an old barn pad to mowing a field in three hours. I also found out that the tractor makes a great bulldozer for making trails to deer stands. I also started school today and holy cow will I have to put my nose to the grind stone and get good grades. Hope you had a great Labor Day Stan.

The Holder equipment uses fully biodegradable hydraulic oil. Each bucket of oil is about $489.
