For video style...I like both. I'm always learning how to do things better. Last year I did a lot of skidsteer pusher and sidewalk blower work. This year I'm doing loader &12' pusher. Absolutely love it. I'm still learning the most efficient ways to clear snow in large lots. Watching your videos has taught me soo much. It's difficult to explain things or ask questions. I need to see it. You've sped up my experience rate dramatically. Thank you 😊
Love the "I'm not easy on equipment at all" statement!!! That's why I love your channel you beat the bag outta things push them too show proof it's worth the tag price!!!! Keep it up and happy holidays and a safe plow season!!!
Stan the Man!! Honestly love both types of videos. Love learning how you do your job but at the same time, love the timelapse type videos! It doesn't matter if it's mowing, plowing, or building, I usually end up learning something from your videos!
Watching your plow videos has put my game on point ,we currently plow 32 acres of transport parking with 3 pieces of clapped out Iron and dont break a sweat . Always enjoy your videos and view points on work ,Thanks for the schooling .Cheers !
If you had a drone that could follow you around while you plow I’d honestly watch that for hours!! Love what you guys do and have learned an incredible amount from you that has really helped me in my business.
You are spot on, getting down to pavement as early as you can any sun will melt. But you don’t want any tire tracks if they freeze and oh man things will be hard to drive over. Clean and smooth 😁, it has started here in Wa state 😵💫it has begun 😵💫
Good Evening Gentlemen! I Like The Different Points Of View With Your Videos! So Whatever You Make I Will Always Watch👍 Stay Safe ! GOD Bless You And Your Crew 😊
I work in that office complex and saw your trucks working it today. You have your work cut out for you with today's snow. Maybe I will see my car when you show today's clearing. Good job with the videos.
I've been plowing the current job for 5 years... The new guy I'm training typically does office work but lives on site. After several sessions of shush and watch while ac/dc was blaring. We had a sit down. I asked him to tell me why I do it that way. His reply was.. you never back track and are always moving snow.. I gave him a cookie. I asked if he had a better idea.... nope Seriously. Watching and paying attention to a site manager is important. Not every site has the same manager so learning is eyes open n questions saved til it's chat time.
I might be looking at it wrong but as I see it the cylinder is pulling to disconnect the bucket, not pushing. If that’s correct. What ever happened didn’t happen during a proper disconnect. I would guess it happened the last time the bucket or other attachment was hooked up.
well to be honest I like a mix of views, in and out of cab. It gives a more complete picture of what is happening. Haven't had much snow yet in northwestern BC.
❤ Heading up to my place January 1st to check on things, while there I finally get to learn to use my skidsteer for snow clearing on my road!!! Only a bucket for now, blower later, but this sure makes me want to head up NOW!!! I miss snow badly!!!!!
Stan I'm going to be the odd duck and say both , time lapse and in-cab , just were ever you put the camera is cool with me, I did snow plowing in Central Maine it was quite the experience I'll never forget about it, loader with pusher we used ie CAT 28 loader an like you said too much down force can be a problem learned that the hard way Thanks for the trip down memory lane as always God bless y'all from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
I really like your snowplowing videos. I live in East Tennessee, South of Knoxville and we don't usually get a lot of snow. A snowplow business would not be a good one to invest in here. Some few guys do it, but there's not enough profit to do more than break even. I'd love to come and visit and see some real snow, for about a day, and then head back south.
Stan when I bought my 8’ arctic sectional it had thin rubber pucks on it broke 1 or two the first year when I reordered from dealer they sold me thicker ones that have not broken in a few years now although it’s a little stiffer and doesn’t seem to float as on uneven ground but still the best snow attachment on the market.
Another great video Stan @! No snow for me to plow yet but I think you would love the new Fords!!! Don't let the diesel shortage sway your opinion on what motor to get either trust me is there is no diesel it won't be long with no delivery before they are out of gas too!!!
Start a portion & switch before it gets tedious... make a good mix of'em. I enjoy'em as I'm able. Thanks for sharing. Hope y'all had a blessed Thanksgiving.
I've done that with my little John deere last year. Lift those steer wheels and you ain't turning, then you let of on that down pressure and you snap that direction. Learned the hard way on that lol
@@Dirtmonkey hoping this storm that’s going through the Midwest will give y’all some snow so we can get more snow vids. That’s my fave from your channel. My dad and I were just talking about the electric blower you tested in the swamp last winter. Lol
Wow, what a maze of roads around those buildings. Why do they put so many areas with curvy curbs and raised areas in the middle of the parking lots. Not as asthetically pleasing, but rectangular parking areas with less obstructions would make more sense to me.
That cylender didnt bend when pulling in. That bent extending. Thinking the pivot on the end of the cylender seized so when it extended it twisted the end. It should realisticly take almost no force to move the locks. I built one using a 300 lb force electric actuator. it is slow but it works. It literally uses 1/4 bolts in a single shear configuration. As well as a short piece of pvc pipe as a designed faiure point. Repairing that cylender should be easy. Cut the rod off and weld a new piece in place. If it was removed it likely could be straightened. I wouldnt beef it up too mich haveing a failure point other than the moving rod is better than distroying the rod.
I like the ride alongs better, I like to know why you're doing what you're doing. I know almost nothing about plowing so it's nice to learn why you do the patterns you do or why you use the tools you do. In this video for example for me it would have been nice to know why you switched from a truck to a loader using a blade one second and a pusher in the next
With ABS, all wheel drive, traction control, and vehicle stability control, all most people know how to do is get in, push the “go pedal”, and point it in the general direction they want to go. Then they are surprised when they get on a wreck or wind up in a ditch.
Hey Stan! Rain-X makes a water repellent for plastics! Check out their website! Give it a try and let us know in a video how it works! I’m sure the person could see the road they prolly wanted to test the new tires! Or they like to go off road.
Only guy I know that breaks pucks on the Arctic’s. Uses them to push back frozen piles. We all keep trying to tell him to use the bucket, But he knows it all, he owns it, and it’s the pusher according to him.
Yeah, best you can do is scrape down that slop and keep the surface smooth then hope for a few degrees below the freezing point. That way you'll have normal powdery snow to push around. But right now I think we're still at the point where the weather can't make up its mind........black ice, sloppy grease or hard packed with a coat of freezing drizzle.
the kubota is such a step up from the chinese loader but does it not have boom suspension? I think theres nothing worse than bouncing around in a loader without boom suspension. And I love the ride along videos its very relaxing to watch snowplowing
Saw one of them new snopower on the road Today and it looks super cool. I think it would be super interesting to try and make a mini version of it to put on my 4 wheeler.
@@Dakotalogger gotta make your own metalpless-knockoff edge system. Patents won't allow sno-power or others to copy it. They can't stop you making your own though.
Bristle broom attachment or the rubber paddle wheel sorry but my phone is messing up I really do enjoy your videos I just like how you have an honest opinion about things thank you so much and sorry about the phone
We can't zipper merge. When my dad saw it, he called the guy an F'n A-hole. Of course, the guy didn't hear him. My dad has been driving since 1963 he first drove back road in the late 50s bring his grandfather to the bar to buy a bottle or beer.
Did 41 years of plowing snow. This will be my second winter not plowing. Still miss it sometimes but than I give my head a shake and that feeling goes away
My bet is up the hill from the driveway and down into the parking lot I’d expect more turf damage going up that steep hillside plus it’s easier to slide off the driveway than to drive up the hill out of the parking lot the way the tracks went
I believe arctic updgraded the lower blocks in 2018 to 1/2'' thicker, we have both versions and the older one seems to break blocks like crazy. The newer one is a2019 an have not broken a single one.
Hey Stan , have you tried to use salt brim to precoat the main entrance, it should make plowing easier because the snow or freezing rain will not stick , In ontario Canada the mto sprayed before a storm hits on Hwy 401 . Also have you thought about trying a Ford lighting as a plow truck?
I think you should try the Kage AdvantEdge when the snopower edge is gone.I was going to do this If I got an F14 but I stuck with my Boss 9.2 DXT /Snopower rear plow setup.
@@Dakotalogger maybe you can buy one from metalpless and have them install it on a sno-power. It's already heavy enough though. 1250lbs on your front end with the f-14 has gotta suck.
@@jamesnm21 I don’t have a F14 I have a boss 9.2 Stainless DXT I was just thinking a sectional cutting edge on the F 12 or 14 would be sweet cause it’s so wide that AdvantEdge from Kage looks like it would do the trick. I don’t think it would add much weight either
I like both time lapse and ride along. Having a mix ensures it never gets old. Keep up the great work, Stan and Co.!!!
variety is the spice.
Thanks Dan. I appreciate the work you put into these videos.

You should set up a camera and timelapse it so we can see your technique and any tips you have for plowing lots which require multiple machines.
That sounds fricken cool! Good luck to ya and go get emmm man 👊
Good evening Stan. Great video today! Have a good week ahead. 👍
Thanks buddy and you too
That Arctic sure cleans well. Seems to beat the plow on the truck hands down. Another good one, Stan.
A bit of both is good, thanks for the video Stanley.
HanKook Winter i Pike S2 Best snow tire i've ever plowed with! Loud on the highway.. Love your channel. JB
Woohoo! Snowplowing videos are back! Love this part of winter! Can’t wait for the long snowplowing videos again! Stay safe out there boys! 😁🤘🏻
Love in cab and listen to you teaching! Have a blessed day!
Love the videos
Thanks brother!

Patiently waiting for snow.
Come and get some from us 😅
Stan, I love the In-Cab ride.

Yup! Winter. Is. Here. I have mixed feelings about it too 🙂🙃
Hey Stanley 👋 winter seems to be taking its time this year. Ontario Canada we have yet to see more than a few inches. Really love your content.
Have a look at the weather networks winter forecast that just came out .. i'm in ne on and its going to be a rough one looks like .
Good Evening Gentlemen! I Like The Different Points Of View With Your Videos! So Whatever You Make I Will Always Watch👍 Stay Safe ! GOD Bless You And Your Crew 😊
Thanks man! God Bless 👍
I do love watching your snow plowing videos!
Cool video, love watching. Keep them coming, and Thank you !
Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴🏴
Ole man winter is officially back once again!
Here to stay 👍
Love all the information and content DirtMonkey provides us!
Stoked to hear it 😊👊

Hahah I seriously love this. You said it.
I can practically feel the transmission wearing out. Plowing is so hard on trucks. I'm glad I live in SC!
Any snow video is a good one.
Y’all about to get some decent snow!! Can’t wait for the videos 😁
I might be looking at it wrong but as I see it the cylinder is pulling to disconnect the bucket, not pushing. If that’s correct. What ever happened didn’t happen during a proper disconnect. I would guess it happened the last time the bucket or other attachment was hooked up.
I don’t miss plowing parking lots.
Also, the video on that tilt bed trailer was great. I like that trailer
Smaller ones that you can do once after its done snowing are the tits. Gotta have a winged plow or a loader of course.
Me too 🤓
Amazing video Stan! Keep up the awesome work my friend.🤝
I like a bit of everything, to be honest. In-cab, time lapse, out-of-cab. Been enjoying the plowing videos every year.
These videos are so relaxing lol nothing more satisfying than clearing snow
well to be honest I like a mix of views, in and out of cab. It gives a more complete picture of what is happening. Haven't had much snow yet in northwestern BC.

Snow plowing content!!! Yahhhh!!!
Finally here 😎
Well....Yes is the answer.
Some days it is great to ride along
Other days the up close and detailed
talking is great.
Nothing better than sitting on a tropical island beach, watching Dirt Monkey PLOW SNOW!!!
I envy you!!!
Lol that Kaleidoscope scared me 😂
Another great video Stan @! No snow for me to plow yet but I think you would love the new Fords!!! Don't let the diesel shortage sway your opinion on what motor to get either trust me is there is no diesel it won't be long with no delivery before they are out of gas too!!!
I hear ya there. We’ll see what happens
“Crackhead square” is hands down the best name ever for Wescott.

Pucks brake from stacking 15 foot piles of snow.

Waiting on the snow in southeastern WI ! You keep getting the systems on Minneapolis
Love the videos brother god bless more plow videos!!
Awesome content thanks for your time to do this video
You're a cool dude. Keep up the great videos 👍
Both 👍
Sounds good!
Ride alongs are pretty cool
It's close to a boss controller but not identical. My personal favorite is still the hiniker controller even though I'm running a boss currently.
I liked the ride along
Sweetness 👍

Snow plowing is my favorite. I run my parents skid steer on the ranch with a 6 way blade to remove snow on our driveways and yard.

I’m sure the person could see the road they prolly wanted to test the new tires! Or they like to go off road.
I miss plowing with the 5 yard bucket Volvo loader (16 foot Arctic sectional)…now i use a toro snowblower doing driveways cause i had to move!!!😂😂
Only guy I know that breaks pucks on the Arctic’s. Uses them to push back frozen piles. We all keep trying to tell him to use the bucket, But he knows it all, he owns it, and it’s the pusher according to him.
Inside the cab view 👍
If the relief valves wasn’t messed with - this wouldn’t happen!
Someone cranked up the relief valve.
