White 6125 and Schulte Snow blower

We got somewhere around 8 inches of snow that made some drifts, time to get the snow blower out. First I had to take the duals off the White 6125.

[@derrickzenner9300]

Those are great looking tractor's

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

Hey Chris nice video. Say high to the camera man. Blowers lasted 40 years doing a fine job and in one pice have a great day

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Will do! Somewhere is an old home movie of the camera man, less than 10 years old. Dad was running the snow blower and turned chute towards him. Pegged him right in the back and knocked him face first in the snow pile he was on!

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Nice video glad your back can’t wait for it to finally thaw out and be nice and warm again

[@billhigh7359]

Great snow blower, I have been using mine with a 2255 this winter it works great.

[@dalewalker2315]

Thanks for the video, Chris. I love a snowblower, we used to have one that attached to the back, but I couldn't use one now, can't look back to good anymore. I think your blower needs an over-haul. Saw a video about how to improve your snowblower, of course that was on a smaller walk behind unit, but he put plastic extentions on the blower paddles, so they would just clear the blower band, what a difference.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I think I watched the same video. I was thinking about doing something like that, maybe with round baler belt. It's been a couple years since I have used the snowblower, I should have painted the chute or oiled it to keep the rust down. It definitely throws better when shined up.

[@stephenfonder7409]

Your 6125 looks like a whole different tractor with the duals off. We are finally getting out of the cold snap here. Next week is going to be in the 30's and 40's for the highs. Thankfully we didn't receive much snow during the cold snap. We had enough stuff to deal with!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It does, and with the wheels in on 30s, you feel the contour of the ground a lot more. I'll be putting the duals back on in the spring. Yesterday morning was our coldest yet. I drove my daughter to school, it was 5 below there, 18 below about halfway between and 10 below here, all in a 8 mile (one way) drive. We still warmed up to 21 the same day.

[@robertheinkel6225]

We had one of our farmers, who put a snowblower on his hydrostatic IH tractor. It had twin five foot impellers, so it would cut a ten foot wide swath, and take drifts up to ten feet high. He hired himself out to the county and was getting paid $100 an hour. That was back in early eighties. Great unit until he backed into the end of a guardrail.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

A hydrostat tractor would be perfect for this job. Being able to slow right down to match the load, you could take on about anything.

[@robertheinkel6225]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris the. Guys with their John Deere’s were destroying clutches and reverse gear. Seems JD chose to put a bushing in reverse gear instead of a bearing. The only modification to the tractor was a better air cleaner system to keep he snow out of the intake.

We all should stop using Diesel engines cause it's getting hot on the planet! ;-) Thank you for this cool content and greetings from Lower Saxony in the north of old, cold and frosty Germany. We look forward to reach 16 degrees Celsius this Sunday, so spring is comming. :-)

[@kevinconover2108]

You could have made quite a good living down here in East Central Texas this week. We had 10 inches and most county highway departments don't own a snow plow. But you would need to bring your own diesel and groceries. We have none of either. Or gasoline. Or LP. And darn little electricity. My midwest roots helped us help others, but its been quite the story. Texas will be years recovering. But we will. And be stronger with Gods help.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I've been watching unfold on the news. It has amazed me to see Dallas colder with more snow than we have here in Michigan. I'm hoping things warm up soon!

[@davenhla]

Sure beats pushing it around eh?!! I have a 7 foot Lucknow I run with a 50 horse Moline. Mine will blow the stuff triple the distance what yours is doing. Not an exageration. I see some comments about the gap in the fan blades.... that can fix things but it is basically a bandaid on a design flaw. Not the gap, the blower itself. Forage blowers have a gap too, and they can throw stuff 100 feet straight up. Really though, if the unit moves snow and doesn't clog or sheer pins etc, i wouldn't sweat it! Beats pushing it, and it's fun! Adding the rubber to the blades might make it more fun though. Just remember, you do NOT want it to rub, you need some gap! 1/4" to 5/16" at least, IMO. The gap is there to prevent things rubbing, but also prevent things from pinching. Rubber flaps can pinch stones if you are working gravel drives. Once you start getting that, you will start getting broken sheer bolts! Blowers work best when they are at capacity also. Your set up looks a lot warmer then mine does! I have to be very mindful I don;t blow into the wind or I get a rude awakening! (no cab)

[@ollie-lk5dx]

I bet that 6125 is a darn good tractor for moving snow plenty of power and a power shift

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It does work nice. The 3 point hitch control in the late models like mine make it nice to run as well. The power part might be too much. If I open it up full throttle, by the time it acts like it is starting to work it will shear the bolts. If I run it a little under PTO speed, I can hear the engine start to work and hit the clutch quick enough to keep the shear bolts from breaking. It doesn't throw quite as far that way, but it beats getting out of that warm cab.

[@ShainAndrews]

I find the best stuff with a snow blower. Phone books, and live extension cords. Both on the same neighbors place. I'm pretty gun shy about doing it for others anymore.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

A few years back we had a 20 inch snow, so I was cleaning a lot of drives, someone would catch me before I could leave from the last one. One guy had drifts as tall as the main part of the snow blower. I didn't hit anything, but the whole time I'm thinking this guy forgot to tell me about the stones on the edge of his drive, or something like that.

I remember him using it on the 2-105. He had a big Degelman blade on the 2150. There was a drift in our back yard as high as the eaves after the blizzard of 78. It was the most awesome drift a kid could hope for. By the afternoon that drift was a pile in the field thanks to dad and the 2150.

Oh and excellent camera shots by the blower!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thank my brother for that.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Chris how much clearance do you have between the blower fan and it’s housing? If it’s not tight the blower fan will work at less than 50%. I had this problem and added rubber strips to the blades and now it blows 2 times more distance and never plugs with wet snow.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

There's quite a gap in there, I'd say at least a half inch. I watched a video where someone did that and it made a huge difference. I have thought about doing it, but it never seems important until I need to use it.

Did you have bitter cold weather too? Here in southeast North Dakota we've been very cold, worse was last Saturday night into Sunday morning -28 below. Hardly any snow this year so frost is going down deep, lots of drain fields freezing up.

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

Do you have adjustments on the blower paddles? It doesn't seem to be blowing the snow very far

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

No adjustments available there. I didn't have the tractor wide open, and there's a fair amount of rust in there slowing it down.

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey I see, well it's way better than a shovel lol take care

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I've seen videos and gotten suggestions for adding rubber to the paddles to improve the throw. I'm thinking people want to see how far it will go.

[@burningdinosaurs]

What make/model is that snow blower? Is it melting yet? We're finally in the double digits again after being sub-zero for a few days earlier this week. Might hit 26 tomorrow and have to push some more snow here. Thanks for the video! Stay warm!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It's a Schulte RM700. There's a little melting today, we're at 22 degrees and it's sunny right now. With somewhere close to 20 inches on the ground, it's going to take awhile to melt. Thanks for watching!

4:58. I added a rubber flap ( about 130mm wide or high and the length of the blower) to the top of my blower to lower the amount of snow the auger throughs back in front of the cut. It helped immensely.

[@AJmx2702001]

to keep snow from sticking i spray some antifreeze or diesel fuel it keeps snow from sticking to my my blower and my plows that way they can stay in heated building

[@Adam_Poirier]

AJ that’s a good idea. I started spraying my plows with fluid film this year. It works ok but it’s kind of a slimy mess lol

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Good idea. I bet used oil would work good too. I wipe rusty moldboards down with it and they scour up quicker because it keeps the dirt from sticking.

We had been quite warm and dry most of winter up until a couple weeks ago. The snow came before the cold, so we don't have much frost in the ground. We've had a couple of cold nights, but only a couple that got below zero.

[@dennisnadler4784]

Chris is that a good snow blower ? They have one at Archbold for sale . Looks like yours .

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

We've had this one for over 40 years, never given any trouble. It handles wet snow, but if you don't keep it fed it can plug the chute. Once it gets shined up it does much better. Cold dry snow like in the video is no problem for it. They are built heavy, so you either need a decent sized tractor or plan on putting some front weights on. Mine is 7'6" wide, I've seen the one at Achbold, I think it is another foot or more wider.

[@Adam_Poirier]

This was awesome! Lol I just stared at my tablet for 18 minutes oblivious to my surroundings. This video could have been 3 hours and I would have loved every minute. Whoever did some filming for you got some cool shots too. That’s a good snowblower Chris. I have been looking for a good used one for about 5 years now, but people either want way more than it’s worth or it’s basically destroyed lol. Thanks for the video really enjoyed it. You have a beautiful piece of property there. I’ve always wondered what buildings and houses were what, but I’ve never asked because that’s kind of invading your privacy. Plus I’m sure you don’t want every weirdo on the internet to have a detailed description of your property lol.

My brother did the exterior shots, he's not afraid to get in there! That Schulte is a well built and heavy. I thought about putting it on the American, but I bet I would have wanted a set of front weights. Thanks!!!

1. Your neck is probably sore from all that looking backwards, speaking from experience. 2. Snow blowers on tractors don’t like to blow Tonka dump trucks, Tonka road graders or bicycles. (Also speaking from experience) 3. Make sure everything gets picked up before it gets buried in snow.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris We have had 14" in 3 days. The old IH with the blade had frozen moisture in one cylinder, so I went to my favorite snowblower, the 54" ZTR mower but it could not make it out of the solarium. So I just made tracks with Frankentruck so we could make it to the road. Of course, the road was not plowed because of all of the oil wells being shut in around here the road commissioner figured he would plow out those who voted for him. We got plowed out yesterday when a 6" water rural main in the field across from us broke and had to be dug up and fixed. I hope the farmer, who lives 40 miles away knows that big hole was dug because he might drive his 100' JD sprayer off into the mud pit this spring when he puts on his burn down. I am sure that will be the first time he will see the field before he zero-tills it. As usual, the road commissioner plowed the snow into our drive and mailbox as he does everyone's.
