I want to see your giant aquarium!!! I am completely impressed that it is plant powered! Freshwater planted aquariums is my love. I don't know where in MN you are, but I miss the large number of aquarium hobbyists the Twin Cities has!
I almost forgot, if you bolt on some rubber paddles to the impellers and close the gap between the impeller and the housing will also improve the throw and mitigate some of the clogging. You will want to use some Loctite for the bolts and to leave a very small Gap so paddles are not actually rubbing on the housing. I'm kind of surprised this is not offered as an option by the manufacturers. May God continually bless you with abundance, go get them
The best machine for moving those piles back is a telehandler with a bucket. I'm partial to skytrack 8042 with a 8' smooth bucket. I like to line up on the pile and park it and use the hydraulics to power the snow back. Very powerful machines in a very maneuverable package. Taction is amazing as well.
I bet one of those stump buckets that are pointed for pulling stumps out would break up that ice wall. I love watching you guys do the maintenance to keep things open. it's one of the things that people don't think about.
Man thats a beast of a blower stan. Well mar 10 2023 we have 18 inches of snow on the way an 50 to 60 mph winds till sunday forcasted for us. Up here in north central ND . On the praire thats blizard conditions no trees uffta.
When clearing a jam, turn the machine off and push the equalizing button by the couplers, so nothing moves when you dislodge the blockage. Otherwise you can get pinched by the auger.
Hey Stan it's your friend Rocco from Connecticut we couldn't buy a storm around here this year we plowed 3 times all year worst winter in 30 years of doing this well always enjoy your videos and you stay safe my friend. Thanks for all you do it's appreciated
Gotta love a blower, they certainly have their place. & they've come a long way since 3 PT on the back of a tractor. Had a buddy, way back in '81, that bought an 8' for his truck that ran off a Kawasaki snowmobile 2stroke (oil injection) & hooked up to the truck. Was quite surprising! He had a city contract for Kalamazoo , for a bunch of dead end streets (5-6 streets /block for lineal parks) rather than dragging it back to the main street & the big city trucks, he could just blow it in front down to the park. Plus it put less abuse on his truck (figured a used truck would only last 3 years with employees driving). Thanx !
Hey Stan, maybe this could be tried for next winter, push the majority of the snow on the lot to one side and have a snowblower operator use the snowblower while the snow is still broken up to put the snow away from the lot. Maybe do it in a lot that has issues with space for parking, if the customer sees that you are keeping their whole lot cleared they might pay a bit extra on top of what you are charging for the snow removal
Whatever you buy doesn’t sit idle, that’s for sure. And it’s all tested tuff. Good to see you putting that blower through its paces and it’s taking what you dish out. We had our biggest snow of the season yesterday. Started at noon March 9th and ended about midnight that night. Officially got 7.3inches. Ground temps were in the 40s, air temp in mid 30s. Maybe half left when I went to work this morning. About 20 miles east of Moline, Illinois. Seams like a weird winter everywhere this year. Which skid loader is your favorite? I have an older ASV RC30 that is, for the most part, a great little rig. Heated cab is great for pushing snow. Had an eye on a JCB. I like the single lift arm and side entry, studying reliability and service and parts availability at the moment.
On your light issue, we have a 2017 T595 and we have seen issues with the relays in the past. Ours has the digital style ignition (not keyed) and we also had issues with the cab control module but it was also sunk in a pond to make that go out.
Check wire loom under cab, the one on bottom rear of cab can get pinched or rub through on the cab lift assist arm and you may have short on the wire for lights.
I drive truck cross country the state of Wyoming. It’s actually using snow groomers for ski areas in the mediums of interstate 80 because of the Highwinds and drifting snow just in case you didn’t know
Maybe you’ve seen it by now but you should check out Erskine Extreme Duty Hydraulic Snow Blower, it eats ice for breakfast, a very versatile and well built looking blower, would love to see you make some content on it, great video as always thanks
@Honda sucks All newer equipment is cheapened up ,or made with cast aluminum now.I have a few old Gravelys that weigh so much when jerks tried to steal one last year they must of got herniated and left it by the road,hahaha.
Jealous… haven’t had to use my blower in 3 winters now 😢. Giving that blower a work out!! An open sided auger blower design works better for snow banks especially banks that are set up and frozen. Lets the auger chew into the pile vs the blower box just adding way to much traction resistance. As always, I enjoy your content, thank you!! 👍🏻
Even with all the rain and warm temps we have had lately still some monster piles out there and more to come. 🤑 can’t wait to see that new Artic plow in action.
Stan, I used to use a set of forks when the snow became iced up, basically u can make sections with the forks an move them where u need them, give it a try
How do you like the ASV does it require different tracks for summer and winter? Also, how was the maintenance part of it? The only suggestion I would make to them is a fold up door instead of open up. I see skid steer with a 2 piece folding glass door or Lexon
Hey I know your busy. Doesn’t it make more sense to take slivers of the snowbank versus riding on top of it and compacting it even more? Or are you just testing the blowing?
Dang electrical can be a gift and a curse the first place to check is the fuse relays. Check to see if power is reaching the lights and of course if you can check the bulbs doesn't hurt. Check to see if there are recalls and solutions to this problem. I tried to keep spare parts and tools available and just like shear pins I will keep spare bulbs and fuses. I will also add ancillary LED lights and illuminated switches to support to the existing lights which improve operations for me and or other drivers
If you are filtering your aquarium with plants, that's called aquaponics! Hope you give us a tour! I grow most of our kitchen greens for us on my 2000 litre one!
Stan you said in the last video what skid would we want to see. I see you and your guys prefer the ASV over anything. I think you should just get more ASV. Try the lower hp no def. Try the high hp with it. Def sucks but.
take your power rake across the top layers angled to toss it away until you either break the shell or get to the last couple inches for the dirt bucket
Stan in Canada before they clear there streets with large snowblowers always break it up before they load in tractor trailers put a 3’ bucket on the new mini and breakup those piles🤷just a thought
Probably don't have the resources but after a huge storm or an ice over we would load 10 wheelers and move it or dump off sit more room. Or rent a snow melting machine and load all it up and dump it into the closet sewer
Never, ever stick your hand down the chute with power running to it! Use a stick or some sort of paddle. I always spray the chutes, impeller and augers with something slippery; Pam, WD-40, silicone before and sometimes during operations
I get the skid steer value, need them, but why not have at least one Cat 950 loader with the 24ft metalpless? Or 2 of them? The large banks and or piles wouldn’t be a problem at all. Check out Snowboss channel, his loader has a big metalpless on it. Is it the money Stan? I get it. But by now, I just don’t know how you couldn’t have a big loader with a huge plow on it. Forgive me if I bother you with this. Love your work
Maybe break that down the pile with a steel bucket and then throw the snow. Or invest is a snow blower that airports use. They are a lot off money, but they are fun and shoot snow 50-60 feet. It is tuff when there is ice and you have smaller gear. Smaller gear, that is what she said. HAHA Not to me
Iv never heard of doing a job that's been done one way for a long time at a certain price then I decide to buy a piece of equipment to add to my machine now charge my customer a "premium " price.
The thing no one understands and I mean no one is when you compact snow II blower plow shovel or anything else you can pack it when you can pack snow you make ice ice is harder to move than snow snow is individual flakes ice is a solid

That Musk Ox does a great job.
One of the town workers lost several fingers reaching in a big hydraulic blower last winter here.. be careful
Hey Stan it's your friend Rocco from Connecticut we couldn't buy a storm around here this year we plowed 3 times all year worst winter in 30 years of doing this well always enjoy your videos and you stay safe my friend. Thanks for all you do it's appreciated
Great video. The test I had been waiting for with that blower.
Low and slow in compacted wet ice, looks like it did the job!
Stanley, if you were down here in Rochester, you would laugh your ass off at the amount of snow we have, which is almost nonexistent
Gotta love a blower, they certainly have their place. & they've come a long way since 3 PT on the back of a tractor.

Could really use that at my church parking lot over here in Wisconsin.

That blower attachment doesn't mess around.
Y’all make these fun Stan! Nice work fellas!
Great comment Stan about being able to add the snowblower to your services. One snow service I worked for was we sell clean asphalt not snowpiles
Hi zack try the lights fuse and also check wires for any breaks or splits and also check lights with avometer
Thanks ive checked fuses and bulbs I think I need to pull the cab up cuz it might be something under it cuz they were working earlier in the year
Check wire loom under cab, the one on bottom rear of cab can get pinched or rub through on the cab lift assist arm and you may have short on the wire for lights.
@@chrisheitkamp1672 thanks I’ll look
Love the videos!!!
I work for a city in North Dakota and you make me want to quit and come do snow removal for you 😂
I drive truck cross country the state of Wyoming. It’s actually using snow groomers for ski areas in the mediums of interstate 80 because of the Highwinds and drifting snow just in case you didn’t know
I can't help but think a bucket on your payloader would have made quick work of that. Had a few jobs we did that for here in Michigan.
Thanks for the content
Maybe you’ve seen it by now but you should check out Erskine Extreme Duty Hydraulic Snow Blower, it eats ice for breakfast, a very versatile and well built looking blower, would love to see you make some content on it, great video as always thanks
You guys are starting to get delirious with all the work hours.I think a front-end loader would have been better for that sidewalk job.
Worked 180hrs in 12 days bud🤘🏻
@Honda sucks All newer equipment is cheapened up ,or made with cast aluminum now.I have a few old Gravelys that weigh so much when jerks tried to steal one last year they must of got herniated and left it by the road,hahaha.

1:10 NO now that you showed the aquarium I wanna see more
Nice blower, I am jealous now
Is that a snowblower or an ice chipper?
Stan you need to bring that thing to my house. Half my driveway is taken up by a snow drift I can’t move lol
Even with all the rain and warm temps we have had lately still some monster piles out there and more to come. 🤑 can’t wait to see that new Artic plow in action.
the blacked out bobcat is a stealth machine. of course it refuses to turn on lights.
I bought the Muskox and love it for that reason moving piles, it reduces the space taken by piles.
Glad you are enjoying!!
Did you go into the settings on the ASV and adjust the hydraulics flow for to the required GPM for the blower?
Do you also do city streets? Looks like parking lots and maybe the private roads that lead to them. Good job guys I enjoy these videos.
Stan, I used to use a set of forks when the snow became iced up, basically u can make sections with the forks an move them where u need them, give it a try
great video
Natural filtration. That's radical! Impressive! Have water cress so you can eat it too?
Curious, was the snow pile removal part of the deal with existing clients or a separate contract job with randos looking for help?
It snowed for 13 hours straight from thursday morning into friday night but we only ended up with a couple inches and most of that's gone already.
We just got 10in in northern Minnesota
@@mcdiggers4306 yaa, it's real snowy up dair. But hey, didjya notice they're all sayin oof now? Yaaa. Ve got em started on it now. In the culture.
here to help

The fishtank/bird/pet update video would be a good rainy-day video
Ice banks? Is that the place your making "cold hard cash"?
Watch every video Stan!
You going to post more videos with the arctic front plow for trucks? Rather curious how do!
Hey I know your busy. Doesn’t it make more sense to take slivers of the snowbank versus riding on top of it and compacting it even more? Or are you just testing the blowing?

He has in a past video
How he built it
Stan are you going to be at con expo this year?
Hey Stan, why. It use the SlDG or the Kubota to bust out those piles?? TIA
Very common for the relays for the lights to quit try replacing the relay I know with my s510 that was the problem I had
Stan you said in the last video what skid would we want to see.
I see you and your guys prefer the ASV over anything. I think you should just get more ASV.
Try the lower hp no def.
Try the high hp with it.
Def sucks but.
I have a Kubota L6060 with a 74" front mount blower and love's blowing that ice (50 to 75) feet
Yes I'm thinking the ASV isn't properly adjusted in the settings for hydraulics flow. It should be throwing snow 50 feet.
Stan your killing it as always awesome content thanks for your time to do this video
take your power rake across the top layers angled to toss it away until you either break the shell or get to the last couple inches for the dirt bucket
Stan in Canada before they clear there streets with large snowblowers always break it up before they load in tractor trailers put a 3’ bucket on the new mini and breakup those piles🤷just a thought
Lights on skid usually halogen..any water contact blown
...replace with led...did so on my 2010 s150..
....contractor ottawa ontario
I spent 5 hours plowing today, and I’m pooped! I don’t know how you guys do it!
Since you do a lot of night work, why do you not have light bars on your machines to brighten things up?
Hey I recognize that SA, I have 2 town house complex I plow just north of SA. I have to keep a out for yea..
Ill tune in for a video on you tank
The musk ox blower are bad a$$!! Do you have the 4 blade or 6 blade blower fan?
Six blades
What brand work pants do you wear in most your videos?
Cool thanks
Stan, thinking outside the box here but. What about hitting ice with rotortiller attachment 1st then moving or blowing
Or that brush clearing thing you used up north.
Check for bad ground or bad fuse.
Main big fuse. Had same problem.
👍👍👍👍
Probably don't have the resources but after a huge storm or an ice over we would load 10 wheelers and move it or dump off sit more room. Or rent a snow melting machine and load all it up and dump it into the closet sewer
Zack Get a LED lite bar
Have thought of the idea
Middle of the year an they'll still be plowing snow... ik we had a white Christmas but dame that snow will last ya
Sounds like what's going on here in Wisconsin 🤣🤣
Never, ever stick your hand down the chute with power running to it! Use a stick or some sort of paddle. I always spray the chutes, impeller and augers with something slippery; Pam, WD-40, silicone before and sometimes during operations
I'd like to see the aquarium
Don’t you have a bucket for your loaders?
Winter is over start putting the plows away. 😂
hmm... i bet the mini ex with a rock shovel would break it up pretty good. or maybe haul over the big ex
idk..i kinda wanna see his aquarium now lol
Fuse???
Gotta check the fuse or change the light bulb it happens to me fews time
This is a year when we will still have snow piles on the 4th of July.Thanks😧.
I get the skid steer value, need them, but why not have at least one Cat 950 loader with the 24ft metalpless? Or 2 of them? The large banks and or piles wouldn’t be a problem at all.

We had to put a light bar on our bobcat. Junk
Maybe break that down the pile with a steel bucket and then throw the snow. Or invest is a snow blower that airports use. They are a lot off money, but they are fun and shoot snow 50-60 feet. It is tuff when there is ice and you have smaller gear. Smaller gear, that is what she said. HAHA Not to me
Tell Alex to quit that tobacco. Had a friend that had to have his entire tongue ripped out
A mini dozer like a d3 would have roller all that no problem
My question is why in The Living Jesus your state puts handicap on the outside of parking lot
k but id like to see a video on the aquarium
Seems like u guys need a snow melter
Starting to make me sick how much snow you've gotten. We haven't even had 1 plow event all season
Because it's a bobcat and they are junk for the most part. Cat makes the best skid loader..
Iv never heard of doing a job that's been done one way for a long time at a certain price then I decide to buy a piece of equipment to add to my machine now charge my customer a "premium " price.
Actually I want to see the fish filter system
Never ever stick hand in chute
The thing no one understands and I mean no one is when you compact snow II blower plow shovel or anything else you can pack it when you can pack snow you make ice ice is harder to move than snow snow is individual flakes ice is a solid
First and foremost check the fuse
Here's a link to one of his aquarium videos. There's more. It is amazing! ua-cam.com/video/HFZu04gf9F0/v-deo.html
If you will do a video on on your tank and filtration it will be a big video trust me once. If it isn't I will never suggest anything again
Great business plan. Buy expensive equipment thats not fit for the job and charge the client more per hour.Appreciate the honesty
