You could add a pulley in the winch line and do a 2:1 pull so it moves slower up and down with half the stress on the winch. Its what i do on my sxs plow 😊

[@GPeterson-jw5sp]

Kind of a "snatch block" principle.

[@danjaeger854]

Dr. Riley the mad scientist at work. I admire his imagination and ingenuity. You three are special. Thanks for sharing!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I love watching Riley problem solve. Everything is a puzzle with many different solutions!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

He can draw pretty good pictures too. @@AmbitionStrikes

[@anthonyfry5927]

You come up with some great and crazy ideas..... I can't imagine what all is going through that mind of yours!!!!

[@stephenlachance8448]

When you put Ollie in the UTV in his seat, and he turns to the camera and smiles, He looks so happy! It made me smile too. Ollie is going to have a great life and you two are going to teach him soooo much! Love your channel and all the things you guys build. Thank you both. (And Ollie too!)

[@DJMmaker]

I am always impressed by the ingenuity of you two!

[@roundstone2020]

I love how when Riley realizes how much fun he is having, his first thought is hey Courtney you should drive.

[@SeanBlader]

"It's really fun to see an idea in my head start coming together in reality." -Riley I relate to that a lot as a guy who just finished siding my tiny house on wheels.

[@billrimmer5596]

What an unbelievable amount of work went into the editing and filming of this vid. Let alone Riley’s fantastic work ethic!! I was glued to my iPad.

[@Jetiexperte]

How many snow blowers do you need for one property? Riley: YES!!!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Amazing excited Riley at work, your enthusiasm shines when you have an idea, truly a Genius in my 75 year old eyes. Courtney is so wonderful with her support on Riley’s projects. Awaiting next stage. ❤️💙💙xxx

[@susanhollis5015]

Not being mathematically inclined, I enjoy watching how you translate higher math into really cool mechanical tools! It is also refreshing to watch how setbacks only serve to spark even more creativity in your mind... because of Courtney's patient encouragement. Plus I adore little Oliver's captivating smile! 😊❤❤❤🙏

Oliver has the sweetest face EVER!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kaidenstowell8487]

Dude is a genius!!! The skill level from his brain to putting all that together in real life holy smokes I wish I could do that!!

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

I believe that you should mount some 1-2” nylon blade guides to keep the blades off the gravel by a little bit to help save your gravel. I agree with another comment here too, put on a couple of pulley loops to slow the up and down speed. Great job with this project!

Patend it Riley before someone steals the idea.😁😄Love how Oliver smiles that smile when he's on Camera. Noticed you built a garage for youre vehicles to keep them out of the snow, saw the excavator sitting in the snow, and all those cars too!! Run out of space in there?. Thanks for the video Love from UK x x x

[@hendo19742]

ASAP 👍👍👍👍

[@bobklaege5569]

Once again, you have outdone yourself! But then again, most people don’t have acres to snow to move. And another note, don’t worry about waking the baby. That’s how he learns to adjust to noise! One week before our second son was born we bought our first child, a drum kit. Our second son can sleep through anything now! he’s 21 now!

[@mybeckett74]

Love watching Beautiful snow can't wait to see next episode

[@kurtludwig6962]

I like you guys video’s with showing what you can do off grid to make your home operate like your not off grid

[@ralphcroker4889]

Now, we've only talked once. I've been with y'all since the very beginning, or almost. I've watched every video you've produced since you started building the RV. I've watched his ingenuity and her creativity grow, and it has been a pleasure and an honor. Thank you for hours and hours and hours of pleasurable distraction and education,folks. KZbin was made just for y'all. Hope I get to meet you one day, and shake your hand.

That's talent!!! Using what you have and adapting it to function at full capacity!!!

[@billroberts3864]

Riley, great imagination, engineering and fabrication skills used to produce a fully functioning product. Blessing to you three.

[@stephanebelisle7695]

Good morning from Canada, I've been watching your channel for a few years and always enjoyed them, a little hack for the snowblowers not dig into the gravel is to cut slit along a pvc pipe and sliding over the intire length of the cutting edge of the snowblowers

[@bernardjones6162]

The projects that you can come up with when you are located in the wilderness! LOL Keep making these videos they are enlightening! Deo Gratias. Oliver is looking great!

[@alfblack2]

Just love Riley in his engineering action.

[@donalddodson7365]

Looking forward to the battery life while moving forward and blowing wet snow. Great problem solving. Could be an application to medium sized roads and parking lots. Franchise opportunity??? Boone posted he wants to drive ... 😂

[@cayankeelord3730]

Oliver is just too cute for words. I can't wait for him to start talking. He's going to grow up to become an amazing person.

[@lambobuilder]

Love the engineering. Good Job. Videographer does a fantastic job too!

[@mazdarx7887]

lot of work and money, plus fab skills needed to make I bought a used 1994 Honda 300 4X4 with a 48 inch 15hp blower kit , about 5 years ago for $7500CDN. Got to blow about 0.5 klick of road in northern Ontario. A little hard to start at -25C but it's been very reliable so far with normal maintenance . Not bad for a 30 year old machine. Best thing to avoid most rocks is to grade road before the cold weather comes, I use a box drag

[@IanH-fn1gn]

Riley you are so clever !!! Love the way you and Courtney work together !!! Wishing you guys all the happiness and success you and your family can handle. I so look forward to your new episodes !!!

[@jbgamblin]

I continually am amazed by your ingenuity and Courtney’s support and willingness for your experimenting to go full course. You folks are a wonderful team. Such a joy to watch

[@scottgates4616]

I always enjoy your engineering and fabrication. I appreciate that you show your mistakes and obstacles so we can see what really happens when designing something never done before. It's also nice to see how you adapt and problem solve. Also, thanks for highlighting the diesel heater. I have been considering adding one to my cutaway van that I work out of in residential construction.

Hi Courtney,Riley & the star lil Oliver! You guys’s are amazing! I am always intrigued at what you are rebuilding or building! Stay warm!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@michaelfowler8289]

It's not about ugly it's about functionality and besides that once the blowers are sitting on it even if it's not painted up nicely😮

[@michiganengineer8621]

Riley, since you have a gravel driveway, maybe shorten the "lift chains" for the blowers to hold the front slightly off the ground when they're in the operational position. That way you don't need to worry as much about throwing a rock at Courtney (or a random window/windshield) while you're getting the snow out of the way.

[@ronarant2897]

Good idea!

[@MrEgigas]

Also thought the same. The blowers could be elevated off the ground just a hair. Pre-tensioning the chains would be easier than building spacers. Another idea is to put a pin on the front of the tire cradle for ease loading/unloading the blowers. Connect all of the wheel cradle fronts to one bar for a single pin operation. Like lowering the back gate of a trailer to drive up the gate as a ramp.

[@dmwi1549]

All those rocks! Ouch! They said once the driveway freezes it gets better. However, if you put each blower on the concrete floor and adjust the runners down on each side so you can slip a paint stick between the bottom scraper and the floor, the snowblower won’t eat as many rocks.

[@questionblechoices]

I was gonna say just adjust the builtin runners.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@questionblechoices That works if what you're clearing is quite flat and pretty level. Not so much if there are lots of bumps and ridges. I found that out the hard way when clearing a "racetrack" in the snow for our dogs in the backyard, 3 rather short legged dogs that didn't appreciate having to do their business when the snow was halfway up their sides!

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Since you are so good at making stuff and can weld you should definitely build a tall V to put inbetween the snow blowers!! That would help direct the snow to both blowers and not leave a pile inbetween the snow blowers!!! I’m actually surprised that the snowblowers are just sitting in the cradles that you built for the snowblowers!!! I would definitely think that they would have a tendency to lift and possibly come out of the cradles??? I think that I would build a couple hook spots where I could hook a strap in front of the tires for tire and wrap the strap up and over the top of the tires and hook into another anchor spot behind the tires!! This would definitely help keep those expensive blowers in place and not have a tendency to jump out of position!!! Definitely a very cool build for sure!!! I’m always coming up with cool ideas my self to make things easier on me or anyone else and I can build most of the things that I have in my head but I just don’t have all the necessary tools to make it happen!! I’d definitely love to get a plasma table along with a good size lathe and those two things would definitely be able to make any parts that I would be able to use!!! A metal lathe is definitely a awesome piece of machinery that can make just about anything!!! It’s the only tool that I no of that would be able to make its self!!! Awesome video!!!!

[@AdamKalbasz]

This was an awesome unexpected project. Right up my alley. Keep it up guys and your channel will explode. Hope more subscribers find you in their algorithm.

[@user-fy7ru4ii1i]

December 2022 (South Ontario, Canada), the news started scare-reporting about a big snow storm coming in a couple days. After watching tiny homes/van life videos for years, I wondered if I could venture into solar power. SO, I bought 1x 100 watt panel, 1x moto master deep cycle battery, 1x 2000 watt pure sine inverter. It worked...it was fun...but no where near powerful enough to power house basic needs. So, I spent a lot of 2023 investing in more panels and more batteries. Currently, i can power the major appliances (fridge, washing machine etc) via solar...mostly during the day.

[@AC-pr9vr]

"I used it as a pry bar"😂 If I had a dollar for every time.......

[@michaelraabe3401]

You guys are having way to much fun!

[@toddtraficanti4832]

Beyond cool, that’s one of the craziest and well thought out projects you’ve done so far. Really impressive with the thought and design. Riley you have impressed so much with everything you do and the design and alterations of equipment. I have been involved with working on projects with engineers and your #1 in my book for someone who thinks and can get it done. Keep up the great work. The two of you have impressed me greatly and the only thing that you have made the has out done ALL your projects and hard work is that bundle of joy by the name of ( Oliver). One cute kid, must be from mom’s side. Ha Ha

[@Crewsy]

I had one of those snowblowers and returned it because the 2 batteries barely completed my driveway with the little snow we’ve had so far this year. Sure you can add a 3rd battery but at $500 for the battery alone and the high cost of the blower itself I’ll stick with gas. It did throw the snow very well and I’ve heard Toro also has a 10Ah battery now so battery life will be better. My new gas blower will work in a power outage and it takes a minute to refuel as opposed to several hours to recharge. The main reason I bought the Toro was how quiet it is and working shift work I could use it at 2am and definitely not disturb my neighbors.

[@slarti42uk]

Great video. How about electric seat heaters. Heat the people not the air??

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That would be a great addition! I think we still need the diesel heater to keep Oliver toasty warm in his car seat.

[@Pyroteknikid]

Electroboom has a good video on heated seats.

[@bradpogue3448]

That was a very cool video. Riley and Courtney y’all did a fantastic job on that project.

[@williamramsey6027]

Nice experiment, but at what cost? 2 blowers, new batteries, what's the cost of the electric sxs? Spending thousands of dollars and it can barely get out of its own way. Seems really impractical.

Thanks for sharing. Nice build. Big Hi to Oliver and his Mom and Dad. 60 days to Spring and warming up here already. Ron PTL USAS

[@jamesanderson958]

Add a removable wedge mini plow in middle to push snow out of the middle. Add a Snatch block will help with lift.

[@keithfrazier2558]

Another idea is to add weight to the rear. It will help for traction/counter balance to the added weight on the front. Might also look into wheel weights like they do for lawn tractors when people add snowblowers and plows.

[@kcbguy57]

Your knowledge and how to it mentality snow blows me away!
