- My John Deere 3046R tractor snowblows my neighbors driveways during a Northeastern snow storm. Sandy and Mark go house to house shoveling mailboxes and walks very nice people. GoPro Max does a great job capturing the footage. Please check out my book, "Mind Kill, Rise of The Marauder" at Amazon and Kindle. Thank you for supporting my channel be safe.
👏👏BRAVO, reminded me of our inner-city neighborhood (Minnesota) with 4 able sons around the house, dad would make us do the sidewalks up and down the block.
Elderly ladies stopping over to say "thank you, what do we owe you?" my father would say "a hot cup of coffee."
"When you go out into the world, hold hands and stick together!" - from Everything I know, I learned in Kindergarten
I love comments like yours...I've had so many especially with fathers...you are so lucky. Thank you Happy New Years.
I plan to do this when I retire next December help my neighbors by clearing their driveways
Bob I'm jealous...great for you just so great. Thank you for taking your valuable time to support my channel. Please enjoy retirement. Be safe
@@maraudermitchelli i plan on enjoying it helping my neighbors work on tractors and work part time enjoy life slow it down
You may have saved someone's life that day. Great job
That's very kind of you, I'm just sharing a great machine that helps other...she's the hero. Be safe and thank you
That Deere is a great machine.
And you Sir, are a great neighbor for doing this for others.
Thank you for making my night 😊 I’m surrounded by great people be safe
Just came across your channel. Love It! Love that you don’t speed it up and inform of us of little tidbits as you go, yet let us hear the machine work. Great Job!
Juliann it seems you are not alone, my viewers do not like music or too much time lapse. Thank you for supporting my channel my goal is to keep you interested.
That's what good men do. Help others by using their resources and talent. Giving back to our communities helps make our communities a better place. Much respect for you and what you are doing, my friend.
Thank you
@@maraudermitchelli Yup you are a great person. Subbed :-)
Good Neighbors Always look out for each other. . . . Remember . . . What goes around, comes around. Everyone wins!
So cool!! & correct to do!!
Exactly I don’t have a compact tractor much rather a backhoe with a snow pusher but if I pass peoples houses and see them struggling I’ll go and do it free of charge
Always loved doing tracker work back in the day in Florida. Grading our road, side work bush hog jobs. Great therapy Loved watching and i did hit that subscribed button.. Thanks
Dan thank you for subscribing I greatly appreciate that. I hope you're operating a tractor where ever you are. Be safe.
Great to see you having so much fun as usual Pete, we are having a run of 100 degree plus days down here in Australia right now so seeing the snow made me feel a bit cooler 🤣 I was out on the zero turn earlier thinking about how nice a Deere 3R would be with a belly mower and aircon cab!
Hello down under...when i use to mow with my tractor it was like i was in a new combine...loved it. Don't get too warm, we had two days in the 50's then back to 15'. Be safe and thank you
I have a friend living close to Spartensburg,PA. He sure could use a neighbor like you.
Tom thank you, didn't think much about helping it's what we do. Thank you for supporting my channel.
Great neighbor. I do the same for the older neighbors. Only thing I dont understand is the older couple with that HUGE house with a large driveway out there hand shoveling. They dont want to pay a service to do their snow? If you didnt do it for them, who does?
They tried. One neighbor had an electric snow blower that died, the other couldn't get his big new snow blower to run. This year the electric snow blower neighbor got a huge walk behind snow blower and did a great job during a blizzard. All my neighbors tried...btw the other Nieghbor had a bad plow guy which is a hard business. Be safe and thank you
Never really understand the power of a draft horse until you hook it up to the weight that it was ment to move.
Interesting i like your comment. Be safe and thank you
if you were my neighbor id rally a signup sheet for surrounding neighbors who want your service and collect a fee to help you maintain and operate the hero.
I love that, I really like that you called my tractor Hero that's the intent of the video and your the first to pick that up. Thank you for wanting to help be safe.
I do the same thing with my blower for my neighbors i don't charge anything. 😉
Good for you, and thank you for helping others I'm sure they appreciate that. Be safe.
Is this in Alaska?
Jim this is just outside Buffalo New York USA. Be safe and thank you for commenting.
Much respect to your choice of helping people. You are the hero for WANTING to do this! I find your work here so relaxing and rewarding to watch. And a big thank you for no music crap! That tractor is humming right along!
thank you for being so kind. My viewers don't like music wow they don't. The machines the hero couldn't do this without it. Thank you for watching be safe.
LOVE This action!! Great work helping out your neighbors! Man that was a LOT of snow!! Great work buddy!
Always great to hear from you Joe you make my day. Thank you my friend.
We need more people like you, may someone help you when you need it
Allen I'm blessed I'm surrounded with great helpers. Thank you for supporting my channel.
So satisfying to watch 👍
Used to love helping out neighbors when I was a younger man of fifty. Now at seventysix and in not so great health I wish there was someone like you and your JD in the neighborhood.
I love stories like yours. thank you for helping others. I hope kindness comes your way. You can watch me and others help our neighbors.
A man from my own heart! I love doing/helping the same way. Kudos to you.
Brown there's so many out there like you...thank you
Definitely the right piece of equipment for that job 👍 Definitely right about no music, good videos are always destroyed with crappy music - great job.
Thank you Rob I've really cut back on the music. Stay safe and thank you
Bless you for your kindness to your neighbors! I can only wish there were more folks like yourself!
Prionel Bless you...I feel guilty because it's just what I do. Thank you for the blessing and supporting my channel.
Being a JD owner myself, I know where your heart is. 50% kindness to neighbors, 50% joy operating an awesome machine😅. How long would it take to shovel that much snow!? Great video!
The machine is the hero because without it I could not shovel that much snow but you know that. She's a great machine, lol but you also know that. You're right on target thank you for supporting my channel I agree with you.
The pleasure you get from helping them must be immeasurable,keep up the good work 😊
Very very gratifying thank you and be safe....accurate comment.
Really appreciate what you are doing, helping others !!!!! That's what I want to do in retirement !!!!! We will see how the health goes ! 65 in June 😢 Thanks for bringing us along and the inspiration to keep going 👍🙏❤
Congratulations on your retirement I'm sure you've earned it. Please be safe and have fun...you'll enjoy helping others it's addicting.
@@maraudermitchelli amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the equipment and love the love shown !! Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
I'm very glad Brian thank you for supporting my channel.
Your a great neighbor Pete , this yr I started doing my elderly neighbors driveways and walkways because I had found out another neighbor was charging them crazy amount of money for every 3” of snow myself and another neighbor said we will fix this ridiculous price gouger and are doing them to help the 85yr old young lady and the 2 other senior citizens who can’t shovel there driveways and town walkways
Chuck you are a hero and that is very nice of you. Doesn't it make you feel great and is healthy for your mind, body and soul. Thank you for sharing this with me and supporting my channel.
At 85 years old I’d do it for free if they were my neighbors. We can only hope to live to see 80 anything. Some people will try to get over on the elderly with no shameZ
Thanks for the video Sir. I have a 3 acre lawn and volunteer to mow the grounds at my church which is a large parcel. I presently use a Scag zero turn but as I get older, the HVAC cab seems like a great idea. The 3046r is on my list to demo. I have to say I'm really impressed. I have a large farm and some large tractors but that size seems ideal with a snowblower and a 72 inch mid mount mower. Thanks so much!
Alex the tractor will not cut as well as your zero turn, and is very heavy maybe to heavy if the property is wet. I will tell you and I did a video years ago cutting my lawn the 3046R tractor does a great job mowing grass better than my previous machines. Thank you for supporting my channel.
I did 5 driveways with my quad on the last big storm we had. Like you I just smile and don’t expect anything. If they want to give me gas or some coffee I’ll take it, if not just knowing I helped is enough.
I’m so glad you get it. It’s amazing to help others and feel so good about it. Ride safe 😊
Awesome helping your neighbors. And yes I’d rather hear the machines than music. Great job
Bonzo no music...I hate picking music. Thank you for supporting my channel.
What a good man you are.!!!!
It so nice to see you help your neighbors out and have fun doing it. Great job…😊
thank you easy to help nice people
What a good man you are, we need neighbours like this, help each other
Nice tractor. Easy and comfortable for snow blowing
That’s for sure thank be safe 🙂
That’s one heck of a unit. I can’t imagine trying to blow that amount of snow with my thrower. The properties are really quite large and beautiful homes. That John Deere isn’t a cheap unit for sure. I just happened upon your video. Your a good neighbour helping out your neighbours. The ones complaining about the strobe light I certainly wouldn’t worry about. I’m sure you feel better helping out too.👍👍🇨🇦
Rick you're right on all accounts. No neighbor complained about the strobe a viewer did...he doesn't even live near me. Thank you
Any 8hp or larger thrower should be able to handle that. The break through is the toughest part. After that just take half bites of the snow pile. Drift busters on the sides of the auger intake should help or use a shovel to break down the drift to where the thrower can get it. Not as gentlemanly as this rig but it's certainly doable.
Nothing better than playing with the big toys. This year is a rarity for us in Winnipeg, Canada as not as much snow as everywhere else. You are a good man for helping out your neighbours. Go John Deere.
I'm sure you're a great person also. Thank you Andrea and be safe we love Canada!!!
Great job on the snow blowing. And yes the cetane and antigel are helping it run really well. This from a diesel mechanic. It looks like you have some great neighbors also.
Joe thank you for the professional comment. Engine just seemed to run a little smother and move snow easier. My neighbors are very nice, like my subscribers and viewers. thank you for supporting my channel.
Make sure your insurance would cover anything including one of your grateful neighbors suing you for some random accident that ends up killing someone, just ask Jeremy Renner if shit can go wrong in the blink of an eye. At least he will be able to buy his way out of it.
Brian I worry about that you are right absolutely you are right. I believe there is a good Samaritan law...to protect volunteers but I'm not sure.
@@maraudermitchelli I doubt that any individual hurt or even inconvenienced would consider someone a "good Samaritan" and there is a very fine line between a volunteer and a fool endangering lives like Mr. Renner.
I had a snow blower in the 60,s and just went up and down the block and just asked for gas money . 28 cents a gallon was to much for them to pay ! so I stopped ! Guess what people bitched first ?
Scott lol I get it I know...free sometimes is not appreciated or a heavily discounted. Let's keep the faith I think something will shine on you for that good deed. Be safe and let's both not stop caring.
@@maraudermitchelli I did it for the joy and elder neighbors . After a while they just expected it ! Sad but true even in the 60,s !
Another great snow blowing video, Pete! You are so kind to help your community. It will come back to you someday in your time of need. Great to see a good WNY dump. We’ve had good snow and snowmobiling in the UP this winter. But the Lower can’t catch a break - rain, snow, rain, repeat.
Thank you. We had a two day thaw and now 6" overnight with more on the way. Be safe.
How ya gunna live in such a nice Home and not have a service and be out there using shovels? Im speechless except You're Like Me...Ive Spent Hours helping my 3 Classy Snr neighbors always first...
They snow blowers didn’t run, I don’t have a service and my brother would plow my driveway for nothing I just choose to be independent. I get your comment and it’s a good one. My friends are responsible just things happen. Glad you help others be safe 😊
You're Like Me. Better than a Service, We Go Out Beatem to it. Ive been out for 6hrs when the weatherman got it wrong but ya know what - helping the neighbors ya grew up with when ya go back to your childhood home to take care of things its just something when youre done and dont accept $ but just enjoy it. I may be nuts i enjoy it.
@@Parabola_PJ you’re not nuts you’re a good guy ☺️
sir, you are a good man thank you for helping .
I'm a very blessed man for being able to help others...I feel so selfish that I can help and it feels so so good. My happiness shine on you.
Obviously I know this was done 10 months ago but it'll be the cetane booster that your using i'm in the UK and I use it all the time in my VW Touareg V10TDI just don't put too much in 👋✅👍🏻👌🏻
CJ I use a winter additive and a summer additive and I agree with you. Just don't over do it. Man she was singing in this video. Thank you for supporting my channel be safe UK rocks
I did the same as you're, I did 9 driveways for over 15 years, I know, it made me feel very good inside, and I didn't want anything in return.
But it came to a halt one year when we had 15" of snow, so I got out and started to clean
my neighbors ' driveways while all of them were cleaning their front doors, well, after three
driveways, I ran out of gas, lifted the tractor hood, checked the oil, grabbed my spare can, and told them out loud that I needed gas. NO ONE MOVED OR SAID ANYTHING.
BTW, my driveway wasn't clean yet, so got in my truck to get gas, came back, put gas in, and came back from a half-done driveway to clean my driveway, when finished, I parked, and grabbed a shovel to clean my front door.
Not one came to offer gas or to clean my front door, that was the last time.
OMH that's horrible...just horrible but I believe. We have neighbors that I blow their driveway they went house to house shoveling mailboxes. Then when we had the blizzard and the plow truck left piles at the end of the driveways they shoveled everyone's driveway out. I came home from work plowing and couldn't believe my driveway was clean. Then will shine on you as you're special. Don't let anyone tarnish your good deeds...no one. God bless you and thank you for helping others.
I have a suggestion. This comes from my time in Germany. Place poles along the driveways that tell you where the concrete ends. I would take 2x4's and rip them down into 2x1.5x6' strips. Then place them in the ground along the areas that will need to be plowed. Where you have a curb place the pole against the curb. When you don't have a cur, on your driveway, place the pole about 6" to 8" away from the paved surface. This way the distance you need to stay away from the poles is constant. Since you're saying that you get 4' drifts I would place a 8' pole. Put them in the ground in late October and take them up whenever you feel you've gotten the last snow of the season. I know this is a year after you posted this video but maybe you'll look and say this is a good idea. Or maybe you've already done this. Or maybe not. ✌
I do this on my driveway just as you suggested but I really don't want stake my neighbors driveway. But I suggested to my adjacent neighbor to stake her driveway and she's been doing ever since. Excellent comment thank you for trying to help be safe.

Thank you Craig, we love Canada and Canadians be safe Oh Canada!!!
I plowed snow for 4 years up in Buffalo NY for over 100 apartments ( both free and paid ) I found the best solution to this snow situation was to move to Charlotte NC and we never looked back. Now I just cut peoples lawn for 10 months a year. Stay warm my northern friends.
That is why you are much smarter than I...good for you as you've earned. Be safe.
When I moved into my house my noisy neighbor was trying to make a JA out of me about wait till I see the snow drifts I'll have to "shovel" when it snows. I didn't say anything. I don't know how he missed me bring my JD home. That first winter we had a duzzy of a snow storm with high winds, Opening the garage door the was a 6 ft drift piled up against the garage door and several beyond. I didn't think much of it as I got the rig fired up had the drive way cleared in about 10 mins and them proceed around the house for a doggie trail. 3 sweeps around the house pulled the tractor back in and had breakfast. Some where along the line that boastful neighbor came over and was knock at the door however I never seen nor heard him till later in the day I checked security cams. That was after dark that I check right before supper time. I walked to the front room and look down the road and that neighbor was still shoveling out his drive way. His was 3 time longer then mine...Hmmmm sometimes it not good to lead a hand. All though the first summer he would at a constant come and ask to borrow stuff. I've learn not to do that because I've always gotten stuff back broken with the promise they'd fix it...
I stemmed my willingness to not start doing those things. As it would/will lead to, "hey can I borrow the tractor" so as to tell them no as it cost to much to repair. Hopefully they'll get P'ed off enough and take the hint ...go buy one your selves...
However not to sound like an orger lady next door Husband was in the Hospital and I knew it and yeah i did her drive and the fire hydrant is on her prop and clean that out before she got home from the hospital....Different senecio all together ..
I agree with you. I believe certain people will take advantage of a nice gesture. I try to gauge when to help my neighbors and have done a pretty good job. But selfishly I enjoy sharing my machines with only me operating them. I enjoyed your comment and I understand. Be safe and thank you for commenting
Consider Public Liability Insurance coz Sh1t does happen !!
if some poor soul slips into the Blower or something.
Just a Heads up.
Great Job
You're right I get that. Thank you for helping be safe.
You’re a good man!! We use to get snows like that back in the 70’s in MN but not so much anymore, man I miss those days!! I really love the snow!! keep up the good work. Have a great day.
As are you thank be safe ☺️
I love snow. I have a massey 5455 with a 7' 3 point hitch luck- now snow blower and a 10 ft snow pusher on the front loader. Neighbors never even say hi. I let them dig there own snow. My motto is fur and feathers are the best, flesh not so much. People 99% $uck.
LOL okay that's a motto for sure thanks for making me laugh. It's amazing your reflection...a friendly hi means a lot. Hi to you and awesome comment. Thank you for supporting my channel peace.
I cleared several drives in the neighborhood when the contract was not in effect yet. The Chamberlands Beach Mountain club Board sent a nasty note to all it's members, threatening to be removed from the service list. I only clear the handicap, elderly and chronically ill neighbors in the neighborhood. Lake Tahoe has become a screwy place.
That's ridiculous they should've sent you a thank you letter. Stay strong and positive...I know it's hard at times.
Thanks for your insight to how the viewers perceive your video, as a lot of UA-camrs don't. We like some fast-forwarding in areas that repeat the same for a while, but the music can get very annoying at time that they play. Most of the times it is one of their favorite songs and does not work for background music. Too loud, or annoying, and some with singing, so you can't understand what the UA-camr is saying. Very poorly crafted. They are actually companies that offer soft background for a subscription, and seem to do well. Good luck
Excellent comment thank you....you're trying to help me just awesome be safe
It would be nice if people with garages actually used them for their intended purpose, but they don't, instead they use them to store junk, as someone who is not fortunate enough to have a garage it burns me up and why don't these people have their own snowblower in the first place, they must have money to live in what looks like a fairly affluent neighborhood they could afford one, what if this guy didn't have such a machine what would they do? I hope these people appreciate what you do for them, I understand the helping the neighbors thing but some don't even say thank you in my experience.
Peter sometimes things happen…Both home owners have blowers one plug in electric just couldn’t do the job the other wouldn’t start. I’ve been there when equipment doesn’t meet your expectations. This day my tractor exceeded my expectations. It feels great to help others and enjoy doing so…I almost felt selfish. Be safe and great comment ☺️
Can you raise the blower up and make a high pass, then come back and drop it down all the way to get the bottom foot? Nice machine, though. Before I moved to a townhouse, I used to blow out several driveways with a big 2 stage snowblower. The neighbors followed behind me to clean off the last 1/4 inch. Then by 10am we were eating fresh cinnamon rolls that one of the wife's baked. It was a fun time.
Tractor can raise maybe 16 inches my track loader will go almost 12 feet. Excellent question it is much easier on the track loader.
OK! Ya got me! I'm jealous!
The way the village plows snow we get those really high mounds at the driveway. I have always thought about being able to do that for myself and the neighbors here in WI
Boy I had projects in WI you really get some weather there. Be safe and thank you for commenting.
If you get that much snow from time to time, those neighbors with those long driveways without a snowblower are just taking advantage of your good will. I used to do that in my neighborhood until after one snowfall I got a call wondering if was coming out and around to clear away snow because if I wasn’t then they would have to come out and do their driveway. I then realized that there are only X number of hours in a snowblower that I use, purchased and maintained. Volunteering is one thing, so is an expectation.
You are totally right I get it. My neighbors understand for sure. Thank you for helping me. Be safe
MR. Marauder Mitchelli You are the Hero The John Deere doesn't Drive and fill itself with Fuel, it takes a Great person to help his Neighbors.
Thank you I appreciate your supportive comment. I would never call myself a hero...I'm just a nice guy that wanted to share a great machine. Thank you and be safe.
If New York weren’t the next California, I’d move there. Gosh I just want some snow. No more than 4 inches of snow total over the last 10 years in central Ohio.
Wow I thought Ohio would get more snow than that. I hear...oh boy I hear you I hope for a reasonable government. Be safe...Ohio is great people.
I really enjoyed watching you use the snow blower on the driveway. Like you said, we like to hear the engine. Could you please show us what controls you use to activate the snow blower or raise and lower the bucket. It's very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing this video.
Please search for a video I made years ago where I review the controls on my tractor. I don't have it anymore...as I use a track loader to clear snow. You my like my track loader videos. Be safe.
I know you don't ask for money man but I think everybody should give you $100 for fuel cuz they are blessed that you are moving that every snow that deep if they had a contract with a company and it will cost from $300 for that so God bless you keep doing what you do and God bless you even more
Thank you Hotshot many feel the same way. Be safe
Geez, you sure are impressed with your little machine. If you said it once, you've said it a MINIMUM of three times about being a "hero", not to mention saying it again in the title of the video. You really think that little thing is the best thing since sliced bread, don't you? Okay, you are entitled to believe whatever you want to believe, I guess.
Jeff I'm not cool, when I'm happy I talk a lot, simple things impress me. Without the tractor I don't have the time nor the health make the impact my tractor had clearing snow for my neighbors. I've done this for twenty years in this neighborhood and 18 in my prior neighborhood. I was so please with how the tractor was functioning I couldn't shut up. The little tractor did a great job...I agree with you is little. Sandy and Mark who walked the neighborhood are also heroes of the storm. Thank you for supporting my channel.
Curious about your thoughts on plowing or snow pushing vs blowing with this rig or possibly a smaller unit such as a JD2032.
Have you done both?
For driveways I like blowing especially getting around cars, parking lots or really long driveways plows are probably better. 🙂
I remember in the 60s and 70s as a kid we'd do that by hand for free (maybe a cup of hot chocolate as payment) And it's what people did in for each.
It's so disappointing watching todays world so detached from each other. You'd not gonna see todays kids do any of that
Thomas I love stories like yours...lets hope kids of today see the light...let's hope.
No disrespect but anyone with a home like that, and driveway 1/4 mile long and well into their pension years and they are shovelling??? Doesn't add up ....... anyway nothing runs like a Deere and your kindness
They want to be self reliant, their small snow blowers were just overwhelmed. I think only 2 houses in my neighborhood have a plow service.
Amen are used to help out an old woman two doors down for me when I got real bad I saw her out there shoveling one time in bed windows to get back back in the house. Let me push the snow for you. She was happy. I got a nice home, baked apple pie out of it I was even more happy.
You are a hero that was very nice of you. It makes you feel so good helping others...we win in the end. Be safe thank you for sharing.
I do the same thing for my neighbours when we get a huge dumping. One thing that I try to do is not hit the maple trees with the snow. The salt in it will kill the trees. It eats the bark. Nice that you can do this. I use a BX23S with the blower on the front. I do not have a cab on it, so I make sure I aim away with the chute.
BX is a solid machine. Thank you for the tree advice. Be safe and keep helping others with your tractor it feel so good but you know that. Be safe.
I used to clear my neighbors’ driveways with my little Toro. Enjoyed it immensely but since moving to Texas from northern Illinois I don’t miss the snow at all!
Dave I completely understand good for you.
You know what you could do is give him 50 bucks for helping , pay something towards the maintenance.
A neighbor gave me a lot of cash...I still haven't done anything with it. It's always nice to be appreciated, a thank you, many times a Christmas roll, bottle of wine. Frankly I feel privileged to be able to own these great machines and share them with nice people. Your comment is good I appreciate it. Be safe and thank you.
Found your channel today and have enjoyed watching your videos. Is this upstate, NY Lake Effect snow?
This storm traveled across the country and then I believe it was effect by the lake. Snow bad over my house for 3 straight days. That's never happened before. i hope you stay with the channel thank you.
I'm watching from Tasmania Australia, your doing a swell job for your friends , we don't get snow like that in Tasmania.
Great town name...as a kid I loved watch Warner Brothers Cartoons with the Tasmania Devil...is there such a think. Be safe and thank you.
To make sure you clear the fire hydrants. They get left behind during winter a lot of people forget about the fire hydrants. Great job you do thank you for the video God bless
Nathan a customer was telling me Christmas day her neighbor was digging out a fire hydrant and broke it shutting down the neighborhood water Christmas day for 8 hours....please don't be offended but I'm staying away from hydrants with my machine. But Maybe I should hand shovel them. Thank you be safe.
I've got 3 farm neighbors that do this for us to with there skid loader or blower behind farm tractor I've got my own blower on a lawn tractor but when it really bad it takes awhile but the neighbors come and just pull in and do it it good to have good neighbors
I love stories like yours thank you fond memories.
Hope some of the people throw a little money your way , for fuel, tractor got to be guzzling doing that hard work!
Hi Shawn I agree with you it is very hard work, stress and wear on the machine and fuel. I have no complaints most of my neighbors thank me in their own way. Be safe.
I used to do the same when I had my old JD 750 (1984) with front blower. I regret every winter that I sold, even though I moved out of the countryside. However, for clean up, I actually used a box blade on the back to pick up the remnant from the blower (as I blew the snow) or pull up snow driven on or get close to garage doors where I couldn’t blow. I needed the back weight too. I’d clear several hundred feet before my mine and my neighbors drive too, just so the plow didn’t create more work for me later. Either way, you’re right, JD is the hero. I was just lucky enough to drive it…it gave me a ton of satisfaction too 😎.
Keep up the good work!
Tony I've had many comments like yours which I love reading. Life goes by fast but it seems we remember our tractors. Thank you for supporting my channel, you may want to read some of the other comments like yours and replay. stay safe.
Great fun and great job. Lots of home-made jam for you, I suspect.
If I was a neighbor, I would take up a collection. For a $100 fuel card at the local gas / diesel station.....!!!!!
W2 awesome comment thank you. I like jam we'd have a great breakfast. I'm sure you're a great neighbor. Thank you for supporting my channel and making me smile.
Awesome job. An act of kindness doesn't cost you anything. People are struggling nowadays and simple things go a long way.
Thomas Dutkiewicz
I agree Albert and thank you be safe.
The engine was running beautifully because it loved helping others. It's about that simple.
Great comment I like that be safe 😊
My neighbors love it when I show up with my little Wheel Horse blower. It is not half the size of your but we have smaller driveways and usually less snow
Awesome Bob I'm sure they do. Thank you for helping others we know it's gratifying. be safe
New viewer here , love it. This is something I would, I was a volunteer firefighter for 8 years so I love helping people.
Welcome to the Channel, Volunteer firefighters are heroes I'm lucky to have you watch my videos. Please fight fires safely.
I added a chut control. I can real control where I put snow 1025R with cab
I feel your enjoyment
Jeff you have a great tractor, I've researched a hydraulic chute control but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Thank you for supporting my channel.
Reminds me when we bought our house. I bought a 32” snow blower/thrower. EVERYONE even the neighbors asked why the heck did I buy such a big snow blower?
Mind you I have a 80’ one and a half car driveway driveway, 100’ of side walk plus 30’ walk to my front door step.
That first snow storm brought 15” of heavy snow. I brought out my snowblower/thrower like a champ! I did the entire block’s side walk, both sides, and took care of my elderly neighbors driveways. It was fun, I’ll admit that. I’m still waiting for another big snow storm!!
I love stories like that Jerry, I just love them be safe and I hope you get enough snow to make you happy.
@@maraudermitchelli exactly!!!
And as you mentioned in your videos, keeps them from complaining about things of yours!!! 😂
You are a wonderful and kind human. We need more people like you! Love your videos. God bless.
Thank you back at you
I grew up in Erie, PA lived in Scotia, NY before moving to SW VA, hated shoveling snow & had to take call (RN). I miss my D180 Lawn Tractor with a 44” snow thrower. I could do 2 passes in 5 minutes and be on my way. Large amt. of snow is unusual but I was prepared.
I love stories like your Stephen...best part of this video series you should read some of the other comments. I started plowing on a Massy Ferguson when I was 10 years old. Be safe and thank you for supporting my channel.
@@maraudermitchelli we left Erie when I was 9, only used a walk behind snow blower once or twice. We got a new “Sears” walk behind that I would clean out our driveway & the house was on a curve with an intersection and a great place for the snow plows to dump their snow. That was made worse by my big brother and I throwing snowballs & hitting the cab and often times the driver if they were smoking with the windows down. I probably owe someone in their 80’s or 90’s a few apologies. In VA I bought my wife a riding lawn tractor as she was mowing our lawn & our neighbors lawn (WW II Vet.) My wife gave me a snow thrower attachment for Christmas the same year.
Nice set up. It would more fun if diesel wasn’t $5.50 gallon in NYS!
Love your name and thank you. The tractor is pretty good on fuel...my bobcat guzzles it oh boy. Thank you for supporting my channel be safe.
I like the 360° view on the camera. How do you do that? Thanks
The Gopro max captures a 360' view then in edit I select where it points and zooms. It really allows me a ton of post production choices. Thank you for commenting and supporting my channel be safe.
it's against City of Calgary by-law for Citizens (non-Contractors) to clear snow on public streets, in case of damages caused to City property, City only clears bus routes, Main Drags, i spend 200 dollars on Ice Melt to thaw a path so i can get to open pavement in April to get out on the Harley
You would rent a front end loader in April to get the Harley...I would. I understand Calgary's law...but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and in a state of emergency most municipalities understand. During a storm our local governments actually hire contractors to help with snow removal. I can't wait for you to get your bike out ride safely.
@@maraudermitchelliCentral, East Coast, Ottawa, Montreal clear ALL Street, it costs 200 million dollars, In Calgary i use to get out in January for a ride, Natives called it "chinook" means "melter of snow" temperature change as much as 40-50 degrees warmer it would last 2 to 3 days, winters here are getter cooler, with longer Artic Vortex, -30 for a week or more, I have a 2003 Road King, and 2010 Sporty
Your neighbor was trying brush snow off his car and you basically blew snow on him and the car. Lol
Oops I really didn't see that...oh boy thank you for telling me. Be safe.
plowing snow has been one of my most favorite things to do over the years, my 3720 John Deere was the first to have a cab making it so I could plow snow in a tee shirt. plowed 99 driveways for fun the last year before I moved to AZ, I really miss the snow plowing. Enjoyed your video.
Bless you Dale that's awesome! I'm trying to get to Arizona is been a goal of mine for years. Next winter will be here soon and I'll post more snow videos. You had a great tractor. Thank you for supporting my channel.
Good man, but we really know the truth is just playing with Big Boys Toys 😂
Well of course...lol don't tell anyone just between the two of us. Be safe
i HAVE A CURITS CAB WITH HEATER. i DO MY SNOW REMOVAL WITH A THIN JACKET. i HAVE IT ON LOW AND IT IS REALLY WARM.
Cutis makes a good cab from what I've heard. Good for you stay warm and enjoy your tractor be safe.
Great Video! What RPM are you running the tractor motor at while snowblowing?
You know I can't remember....I think it one video I say 2600 rpm. Be safe
I agree, we should help our neighbors and have a Christian attitude of loving our neighbor as ourself. Great job! This philosophy and ideal taught by Christ is something sorely missing in our society today. Your John Deere tractor makes quick work of this. BTW, you are the neighborhood hero.
LOL thank you Frank but I don't think so...maybe a nice guy not a hero. Awesome comment I'm embarrassed I've never heard, "Love our neighbor as ourself" just awesome. Thank you for making my night. Be safe.
@@maraudermitchelli More correctly, Christ commanded Christians to love YOUR neighbor as yourself. It is the second highest commandment in Christianity. The highest commandment in Christianity is to love God with all your heart, mind and strength.
at 10:00 i said im happy this guys shows all the content this long footage helps me understand the process that much more more great video too
thank you sir that seems the most popular. Thank you for supporting my channel.
I'd say it's the mix you put into it that's making it run so well. I only use BP gas in my small engines, I can tell the difference in how they run. Great job helping the neighborhood.
Thank you!
Hate to sound like a kill joy but in a neighborhood with million dollars houses you'd think they would have a service clean their driveways, usually the same one so they can hit all the driveways at once, or at least invest in a snow blower. It's funny how you're out clearing driveways for free in a wealthy neighborhood and hardworking people can't get the work. I would love to have 40-50 thousand lying around for a toy but the people that use that stuff for a living can't afford it. It's a free country so have fun! Weeee!
Brad they all have snow blowers, the electric blower burned up, the gas blower wouldn't run. They tried to be prepared and I was so happy to house. 2 house have plow service but they are unreliable and don't do a good job most of the time. The other neighbors have equipment of some sort that works. In a heavy snow fall with a driving bad the plows just don't show or cannot move the snow and the homeowners have to hire heavy equipment.
@@maraudermitchelli I'd charge them all. lol. They wouldn't be at my BBQ on the weekends. lol. It's great to help but many don't want to spend a dime. The young couple helped everyone with their strong/young backs.
You d best!!! I ran a 1960 Kodiak for a ski area clearing the parking lots. That thing was miserable to run all night. Yours looks fun...and warm! Be safe. Don't find any yard knick knacks or concrete gnomes with the rotary.
I found a tow strap once...not fun. Thank you
I hit a dead dear and a set of skis and poles.
The same machine I ran that winter ran over a guy sleeping in MT Bachelor parking lot the following winter. Snow plow hit him first in his tent. It is a convoluted story but a guy did lose his life. That machine was cold AF and windows would fog up and ice over. Be safe, my dude.
Seat time! Is good time on a John Deere doing anything,but doing it and helping people ,its even better!
Dave I like that seat time is good time...great comment! Thank you for taking your valuable time to support my channel.
Great set up you have with this machine, I have a much smaller version of your set up , "05 Lt150 with Bercomac snowblower on front, she works quite well for what I need, and she has helped neighbors as well, you're correct, we need more nice helpful behaviors by our neighbors for each other in this World. Thanks for videos.
Donald you're 100% correct, we must help take care of each other. I'm glad you're tractor gets the job done, that makes us feel great. Thank you for supporting my channel.
i see youre a cop....... well those people are paying aalot of money in taxes so the least you can do is snowblow their homes
I was a reserve Deputy for 19 years. All my duty work was volunteer no pay at all except for the Buffalo Bills games (I think the Bills Reimburse the County). I was grateful to volunteer for the Sheriff's office it was a privilege and my training was outstanding....cost me a lot of money personally and time with my family. It was a community service my father wanted me to be involved with.
I would NEVER do that in america because if even a small twig is broken you will get sued,only if they actually sign a paper asking for help and they will answer themselves for any damadges to machine AND their property
Well I understand your opinion and your probably not wrong. I'm nervous about that more than what the video shows. But in time of need we have to help others...hopefully fate will be on the good deed doers side. Be safe thank you for supporting the channel.
@@maraudermitchelli ansolutely i understand you,many of the issues we have in the world is too few is caring about others... be safe
Looks like a great setup. I clear with a bobcat 3650pto with blower and a rotary broom this season I’m at 400+ shear pins. We have a lot of blown and drifting snow. Great job taking care of your neighbours
OMG Jason that's a lot of sheer pins...I've never replaced one. Thank you for supporting my channel.
I can't speak for anyone besides myself but I like straight through videos not time lapse , I also like to know what the equipment is you are using and the attachments . I can see your using a front mounted snowblower but as for the model of it I can't say . If it wasn't for the snowblower I wouldn't be watching.
Well I hope you consider watching some of my other videos. Us older people have to stick together ;) Be safe Tank and thank you for supporting my channel.
@@maraudermitchelli will do
