Hi! I also have a snowblower, which I use a lot in the winter, as I live in Finland. In my experience, the snowblower needs to be moved outside in time so that it is as cold as the outside air before you start. It usually saves you from that blockage.

For a little more than forty years, my F250's could punch a mile hole in our seasonal roads pretty fast but, if you don't have good push-offs, by the end of the season, you can be stuck with a very narrow corridor. I'm now in the market for a UTV with good HP/Torque and caught this video. Your demonstration of the Rammy was great; ease of install, easy of detach. It also shows us the power and versatility of UTV's. It's a game changer for me and I will be checking out Metsa Machines. Thanks for the great demonstration!

Seems to work pretty good for a single stage snowthrower. If you have a gravel driveway like I have, it’s a good idea to to pack down the first and sometimes second snowfall. It really helps hold the gravel in place. That way you don’t have a lawn/yard full of rocks to clean up in the spring. Unless you’re planning on making a video on rock in lawn removal this spring.

@thelews4 it was on a skid steer mount on my tractor. It couldn't process 2 inches of snow that my walk behind did easily. I took it back to the dealer who told me that it would take "much longer" to clear my driveway than my 28 inch walk behind. Honestly I would advance about 6 feet and it would slow or stall. I sent videos to Bercomac and spoke to them...they recommended "crawling and pausing." If the snow is like powder it will do a half decent job. It was an $8000 mistake with a 22hp Honda engine. I bought it to make driveway clearing easier. It took at least 3 times as long as the walk behind. I ended up with a rear pto blower that's unstoppable...at ANY speed.

I can blow all the snow on my driveway and parking areas in about 40 minutes and freeze my butt off, or I can plow everything in 12 minutes with the heater running. The only thing I use the snowblower attachment for is cleaning up the piles that the plow makes, about twice a winter. Otherwise I don't waste time with my snowblower attachment.

I live in Sheridan Wyoming and we were hit with the artic blast with the temps never getting above-20 and it got down to -40’s with a 2 1/2 day blizzard. I have a walk behind snowblower and had to make multiple trips snowblowing the driveway off during the 2 1/2 blizzard just to keep up with the snow and wind drifts and it was pretty miserable because I could only do 1/2 of my driveway at a time and have to go into my garage and warm back up before finishing the other 1/2. Your enclosed UTV with the front mounted snowblower would have been perfect for that situation and I’m going to have some serious talks with my wife about getting one.

Don't waste your time and money honestly, I have everything and used them all, I also have a large tractor yet without a snowblower for it, but the best machine mankind has ever made to clear driveways even extra extra large like ours is believe it or not a dam Garden tractor. The garden tractors have big vtwin engines, atleast 40-44" blowers that throw the heaviest wettest snow atleast 35 to 50ft. The little cabs you get for them are figure 4-500 bucks. Find a used tractor like I did honestly an Ariens HT-16 for 500 bucks with the snowblower and she's bulletproof tho ugly as all hell. First year I had it I had my Big Deere tractor ready for the really deep and heavy stuff as I figured no way that little tractor could handle it but she did, 2 1/2ft of deep heavy wet snow in the deep Northern New England mountains I have never used my John Deere"Real" tractor again using that little Ariens garden tractor Point is these blowers for utv and ATVs are cool for them but honestly even the berco blowers which are the best are shit. They break a lot they do not throw nearly as well as a garden tractor and they're double the cost so honestly do not waste your hard earned money, just find a used but clean Garden tractor with snowblower for say 500 to even 2000 grand if that's what you want to spend for a clean one, and you'll have the absolute best machine there is for driveways. Yes a payloader setup with chains and a 8ft front mount snowblower is the biggest most powerful badass setup, being honest even my 500 ft long drive with well over 150ft open parking area is nothing for my old Ariens garden tractor with just the 40" blower

@CuriousKL2 жыл бұрын
I learned many years ago, that if you live in an area that tends to get more than 3 feet of snow annually, you're much better off to use a snowblower, regardless whether it is on the front or back of a tractor, a walk behind or attached to a UTV. Pushing snow is OK except at some point you'll run out of places to put it. There are 3 things to deal with using snowblowers. One, wet snow can be a problem. It tends to clog up the auger. Two, How far you can blow that snow is something to consider. The last thing you want to do is to blow snow onto snow that you need to remove, especially the heavy type. And lastly, running into a large chuck of ice can wreak havoc with a snowblower.
@Michael-iw3qq Жыл бұрын
The tractor 3 pt rear snowblowers can be at a major disadvantage as far as rpm. If the PTO only spins 2500 rpm, that’s not throwing snow as far as a 3700 rpm on a walk behind. Some of the tractors have dual speed PTO’s, but you need the power to spin that.

Once my base is down I lower the feet down on my John Deere blower. I have a general fully enclosed with heat. No cab on the JD and when you douse yourself in the blower powder you freeze your butt off. A cab on the Deere or this for the general is about the same cost. I need to see this blower under max load. I deal in feet of snow.

The other situation where snowblower are a gamechanger are dead end driveways like your friends house where the driveway dead ends into the garage with retaining walls and no place to plow snow other than to do a crap ton of back dragging which is a huge waste of time. I would love to have a 98" blower mounted on the front of a cabover medium duty truck with a separate 200 HP diesel engine mounted in the rear just for powering the blower by way of a PTO shaft and reduction gearbox. The wide width and high hp means fast working speeds doing driveways. In Canada they use blowers on tractors for clearing driveways and can do 200 driveways in approx 4 hours, these big AG blowers can move some serious snow. Merry Christmas

Living up in Northern Canada I've seen the whole progression of driveway snow removal . Starting with steel shovels to aluminum then plastic shovels . When residential snowblowers showed up on the scene that was a game changer . One of the overlooked benefits of a snowblower is the mechanical action it puts into the snow that actually reduces the total volume of the snow that goes through it . If you really let it get thrashed and bashed going through the snowblower more than once there isn't much volume left if space is an issue .

Great video? That snowblower is pretty sweet. Would your rather have the vblade plow for the side by side or the blower?
@HometownAcres2 жыл бұрын
If I have a full cab the snow blower. If I don’t have a cab probably the plow

Big job, big tool. Nice snow blower. Good to put it to work when when the snow depth is not so terrible.

I could see it being useful in confined areas with few places to put the snow, but they are pretty darn slow, your video was on nice powder snow too.

We run both, plow and blower, every winter and it's definitely the way to go.. plow is much faster, and then when the piles get too high and the tight sections get too tight, then the blower comes out after we plowed as much as we can.. much faster and less wear on the blower and tractor 👍🏼

I think the difference but I am seeing as we used to call that a snow thrower not a snowblower it does not have the blower fan in behind the auger when you have that it will throw the snow twice as far and mostly takes less horsepower and will clear snow much farther but looks like a good unit

Looks nice, I have a 6' rear blade on my bucket tractor and no cab but winter usually only last a few long months in Eastern Oregon. Happy New Year and thanks for sharing!

That’s pretty impressive for sure !! Brings back memories at my first home here in Illinois we had a 1/4 mile lane and I used a 340 John Deere garden tractor with a 42” blower and it worked awesome ! That was back when Illinois got winters lol. 1 trip down and 1 trip back and it was good for a car or pickup 👍

Always thought the blower vs. plow was the way to go, seen guys plowing with side by sides, and spinning wheels after just a little push because of the mass of the snow in front of the plow.
@hp70332 жыл бұрын
I have both. I have a 30 year old F250 with a plow and a snowblower attachment for the tractor. The plow makes quick work of the snow. The blower is good for periodic cleanup. If there's 2 feet of snow, then the blower is definitely the right tool. But for the other 90% of the time, the plow is the answer.
@deanstackhouse87752 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't plow without chains all the way around cuz I've been stuck too many times that way. Spinning wheels, then grabbing into soil or pavement will trash your drive train. I've rebuilt transfer cases and replaced rear ends with teeth knocked off.
@hp70332 жыл бұрын
@@deanstackhouse8775 I don't have any chains on my F250. The 4wd seems good enough and the thing is heavy enough that deep snow pack doesn't push it around. Can't say the same for my Kubota though. That thing needs chains.
@melissasmess27732 жыл бұрын
My angled rear tractor blade and 2100 pounds works but I bought chains for the front wheels because they don't have a lot of surface area or weight on them.

@@melissasmess2773 Somehow (maybe Google changed it, I didn't catch it before sending my comment). In any case, the change was re : with,/or without chains and conveyed the exact opposite of my intent. A vehicle with chains on the smaller front end (pumpkin) and not also on the rear at the same time creates a possibility of taking that set of significantly smaller gears out by overloading them. Balance and distribution of load is critical when hard work is demanding. Chain em' all up is my suggestion.

Thanks Adam! Merry Christmas! I have been following the Rammy snowblowers for a while (for an ATV) so it will be nice to see some real world testing & feedback before investing. I like the fact that they lift off of the ground completely and don’t have a carriage & casters that carry the weight - much more mobile.
@Glide19922 жыл бұрын
I had a 2 stage blower with the casters you describe. Not handy but with a 20 HP engine and 2 stage it threw snow a long ways. I too like this type much better since it lifts everything off the ground. I didn't know there was a single stage that could throw snow like this one.
@lutomson34962 жыл бұрын
We have deep snow here and blowers are mandatory and self powered units on trucks and large front loaders the ones on the small loaders hydraulic don't work that well as they don't have enough power the Kubota front PTO ones work decent
