March 2023, Lake Tahoe California. The old AT&T building just outside of Tahoe City collapsed from snow load. Everyone has been scrambling to shovels roofs with more snow and rain the way.

Our loader mount snowblower has a broken drive shaft, so for the next couple storms I resort to square blading the roads and ramping where I can. Snow storage if definitely getting tight in some spots. Thanks for watching! New GoPro and more mounts on the way. Big thanks to @griffgranger for getting me his roommates GoPro. Go check out his awesome videos of him opening up the roads!

Snow just keeps falling up here at the lake. Haven’t had a day off in quite some time as the forecast only gives us a day or 2 of clear weather t catch up between our week long storms! This footage is from the middle of our last 5 day storm cycle in Tahoe city. I plow a 102- home private HOA and we provide service from the roads to the walkways. It is quite the task. More snow is on the way and...

Plowing more snow in a #caterpillar 938M with a 14ft balderson blade. Started with a little shot of me plowing out the shop and worked my way up the hill. Camera work isn’t the best but i am hoping to get a new camera and put together some better footage soon. Awesome little shot of a Tahoe sunrise there in the middle.

    Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

    @terrytenley9327 Рік тому

    Yep and folks at Lake Tahoe who live there wonder why property tax is so high.. There are 2 diesel motors running here and expensive repairs too. But plow trucks and front end loaders can’t be used as there is no place to put the snow.. Thus the snow blowers l8e this one can still function.☺️

  • @terrytenley9327
    @terrytenley9327 Рік тому

    It’s so hard regular plow can’t move the snow anymore..The snow banks are too high.. A front end loader is now limited too.. The only way is to blow the snow with this big auger..This snow at 4 feet deep is very heavy.. Nice video showing front end loader and snow blower☺️

    Hey, I thought Californians are supposed to use electricity powered equipment. Hey man, Get with the program.

    • @TheHonestPeanut
      @TheHonestPeanut 8 місяців тому

      No they just use the right equipment for the job instead of holding onto some lame, outdated fantasy and then complaining about how much they have to pay for gas or diesel or repairs or whatever. If you commute 15 miles to an office and don't leave the city, get an EV. If you're job is to move the world, use a huge diesel powerplant.

  • @terrytenley9327
    @terrytenley9327 Рік тому

    The snowblower is big and it has its own diesel motor powering auger.. The front end loader just moves and and has the capacity to pick up the blower too.. Extreme equipment for extreme jobs..☺️

      more than likely hes been plowing/blowing snow here long enough to just know where his do's and don't's are. Ive been plowing our parking lot for about 12 years and even though its covered in snow your brain still has an idea of where things are

    • @Jfenley
      @Jfenley Рік тому

      Snow stakes in some spots and a good memory of the area! It’s inevitable that some stuff gets messed up on a huge winter like we have had, especially with the banks melting out between storms. But we try to keep it to a minimum and not get greedy when cutting banks in the blower!

    The heavy snow, with the additional rain, becomes a sponge, which then becomes too heavy for the roof.

      @Justin Fenley I lived in Montreal in the late 80s, and that was snow but honestly, what you're dealing with is on a whole new level. Those drives look like they'll need another clean in about 10 minutes. What a cool 🥶 experience.

    Do you ever get stuck when plowing up big piles? Do they build the houses there stronger to hold so much snow? I love the video

    • @Jfenley
      @Jfenley Рік тому

      Sometimes I sink in on the ramps but never really get stuck. When you have to much snow and start to spin just lift your blade a little bit. The houses are definitely struggling this year! Thanks for watching!

  • @dhenschel4
    @dhenschel4 Рік тому

    Beautiful views, thanks for taking us along. There are really no bad views in the Tahoe area, winter or summer. With the lake in the background you can't go wrong. Seems you lift up the blower by articulating the tractor rather than lifting the implement itself, is that true? I have never seen a loader articulate in the axis before, but I don't know the loader you are using.

    • @Jfenley
      @Jfenley Рік тому

      Very true! I feel very lucky to work where I do! The blower works like a regular loader attachment. It hooks on the quick coupler and is all self contained with its own diesel motor. thanks for watching! More videos to come
