Hardcore snow blowing 6 foot deep snow drifts with the massey ferguson 4609

- Today I did a 3ish km driveway where the snow drifts are 5 to 6 feet deep in some spots, way higher than the snow blower. this is what I did (with my MK martin meteor 7 foot, single auger snow blower)

It always surprises me that there are so many experts out there.
And on every subject under the sun!
Yeah, I liked how he made a snow fence for the next windy snowfall.
Get a camera and you become an expert!
They watch 2 videos and know everything about how tractors and blowers function, despite not having left their moms house for weeks
Dang dude where do you live where you get a dumping like that wow
It’s always a great feeling when you conquer your mountains. Great job!
Without that tractor and blower you'd be staying home awhile , a long while. Thanks for sharing !
I wish you would have recorded the whole thing. I can sit here and watch this for hours.
Wow, man I love plowing snow, but that right there would have wore me out quick. Hats off to ya for a nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Now I remember why I purchased a front mount snowblower!
Heck yeah dude! One of my favorite Massey/snow videos yet! I had to do the same this spring when I purchased my 1740/75" snow blower. This gets me excited for winter. Subscribed. I'll be making similar videos also. Thanks
no idea why youtube recommended this to me ( 3 years after it was posted lol ) but man did that look like fun! i think it would be hard to call doing that work. i mean, i would still call it work, cause i would not want folks think i was playing. but honestly, really, i would be playing, lol.
Weld or bolt on pieces of flat bar going up on both sides of the blower to cut down the taller drifts
I am very impressed. You did a bang up job. I just have a Aries rapidtrak, but I like throwing it a bit further. Great job!!
Nice vid bro! Love seeing that big snow... keep them coming thanks
Nice job. This is the first snow blowing video on youtube where the stated height of snow, 5 feet, actually looks like 5 feet of snow.
Title says 6 feet of snow but who’s counting 😂
This is totally kickass. That's a sweet rig
That was fun to watch, thanks for posting!
I think I would have called the closest airport and ask for their snowblower. That was a hell of a lot of snow and the drifts were awesome.👍👍
Was going to get an inverted snow blower but this reminded me that it would be a mistake. Thanks.
I will add this man is trying real hard , to good for family . That is a good thing.
Cool. I have the exact same Meteor snow blower on my 253 Massey. Have fun!
All I can think of is the Jimmy Hendrix song, Break on Through to the Other Side. Lol
Funny thing is I do plowing and blowing snow for a living in the winter. I just love it, it's almost therapeutic. My wife tells people that I get so excited when it starts to snow, that I'm like a new puppy that's about to wet the floor. Well she not far from wrong.
Damn...that’s my kind of snow removal...watching this is like staring into a fire...can’t look away
I would just wait for spring!
Awesome video. Thank you and if you get the chance for another one...PLEASE.
Lucky you have a nice rig to open the road.
that was oddly satisfying,, i could have watched the entire cleaning effort,, ended up watching the vid over again, i have a international 2500 b series with am IH-80 blower
Listen to all the pros out there awesome you guys know so much just by watching vid
You got a little trooper for a snowblower great job
I always wanted to use a Versatile/NH Bi-directional tractor on a snowblower like this so you could be facing which way you were going and you would have hydro-drive so you could control your speed.
THIS would be my excuse for a really nice used OshKosh 2206 blower truck!! One pass then just keep driving to town for breakfast!
I would agree, it would help to bring the engine rpm up a little. It doesn't look like your throwing the snow very far. 90 hp tractor should be sending that snow 75 ft or more. Curious what is your rpm in this video?
Your blower is doing and awesome job wow
Sounds good I can’t wait
Insane drift!
Great video!
that was a good workout for the blower
Snowblowing while backing up is always a pain in the neck (pun intended)
Some days I wish I lived in the country where I needed to use one of those, but I got older and am kind of glad I don't, maybe one day I will again but you have to have the money to get the equipment you need to take care of yourself. If that tractor struggled a garden tractor you'd be there all day.
you did well with that 90 horse tractor
Rear mounted blades and /or blowers are a big pain in the butt but they beat shoveling.
How come nobody adds "Snow guide" boards on top of blower(for drifts)?
Thos reminds me of the winter of 77-78 growing up in the Midwest...
sweet video that was Def alot of snow lol. Def couldn't do that without ur tractor
Welcome to the tractor snowblowing world finals
Looks like a snow fence would be worth your time in the fall.
What kind of exotic magic shear pins do you have in those augers?
This is why I live in Florida. Did a good job clearing that up though.
Naw man, the snow in Florida sucks ass.
Welcome to my winters pet peeve also .
You could use some driff cutters on it
Now I know why I was born and live in Texas ! 🤣 I mowed my yard sunday in 70 degrees weather .😂
If this were music this would be heavy metal snowblowing
fine job what is that drive like in 2020
supper snow pill good job
December 19, 2023 he's still blowing snow.
That's because your using the shoot it is restricting the flow of snow. If your blower has a bail unit you should use it. It's the drum underneath the shoot it rotates left to right and it will fire the snow 3 times the distance
needs something for the drifts. Cheapest option is drift cutters. more expensive option would be mount the blower inplace of the bucket for easier manuvering. Kinda like the Bobcat UTV does.
How hard would it been to go out every 3 to 4 hours during the night and clear the drive?
time to weld up a snow bucket for the loader
Another is to add sides higher than the top side, tilted forward, which makes the snow fall back instó the breaker
thats one hell of a long driveway lol
Some drift cutters would really help you out. At least the road had makers to follow. The town just needs a v-plow they can mount onto a front end loader for this stretch.
Nice video! The highest drifts I've had this year are just over 3' and it was way too much screwing around to get out at night and set up a camera. The tractor isn't bogging down, what is the blower mounted on?
the 3 point hitch
Haha, what tractor are you using. Thanks.
its a massey ferguson 4609 .. its 90 horse power 4 wheel drive and im using a mk martin snow blower made in Ontario
Glad to see an action video from a fellow MF 4600 series operator.
what did you film this with? Brand/model of camera?
Please tell us if you finished it I know I’m curious sure everybody else would be
I wld get boss v plow on tractor then blower it on the edge. And add fence to help less snow blow over the driveway. Good reason to get out house to let ur lady take care of laundry, dinner etc:)
what part of ontario do you live in
Question why does the tractor beep when going backward is it due to traction or the blower struggling ?? Few time in video your working one beep ??
Very impressive. I know that this will not help for the first pass. Have you thought about putting on some knives on the edges? Very easy to do. Get some straight 1/4 x 2 inch stock and drill some holes and mount it at about 30 degrees. let it stick out about 2 to 3 feet. Makes second pass much easier. Look at the big boys, this is how they do it. I know, I use to run one.
Sweet.
anyway you can post the whole thing?
Are those direct drive snowblowers or do they use a piston drive motor. Also how many GPM does it take to run those.
78" Meteor? Looks like mine!
rear plows are ok, these units only have 540 rpm PTO too slow, this comes with a front bucket attachment so you buy a front plow the mounts with quick disconnect hydraulics and mounting pins and you will have a pump that will give 1000 rpms and more flexibility, most front mount blowers are max of 6 feet wide which is ok, they are still far more productive than rear mounts and as one reader said it is far more ergonomic and safer for the operator to use without neck strain and able to handle this 3 kilometre driveway much easier. good video
Looks a Great Blower for up to 3 feet but will deal with deeper with perseverence
You should add another chopper auger above the bottom one then chain drive it off of the bottom auger the blower would perform better. And an old pickup with a power plant on back and the blower on front would work so much better.
Remember the line in the movie "Jaws", "Your going to need a bigger Boat" Well, you need a bigger blower, and maybe a bigger tractor too.
Heck with all them deep banks .....I would have just made a trail in the field
How long is that road That you are blowing?
I don't know everything....but that is slow going...Nothing will make good time through that much snow.
500 or 1000 Rpm blower ?? It works
Nice video, you couldn't have done that without that tractor. Where are you located? I'm in CO and just ordered the MF4610 with Woods 96" 2-stage blower, 38" high. My driveway has a lot of rocks so I had to go with the 1000 RPM gear option with a clutch assembly instead of using shear bolts for protection.
I'm in Ontario Canada. there is only 2 seasons in this country.. winter .. and construction.. ha that's a Canada joke for ya. we complain both times of year..ha anyway. ya ive been driving an old ford 65 horse tractor and its really sweet too but I can tell that the massey is way stronger and ha ya that day I was wishing I had a bit bigger snow blower .. but I got it done so I guess I had the perfect tractor for the job...by the way, what engine is in the 4610
Tar Nation what part of Ontario cause I need to come there for sledding
pretty much the middle of southern Ontario but you could go sledding anywhere north of london at this time of year
Tar Nation I live in Midland (1 hour north of barrie) and we have little to none snow
i used to put a 85.5hp kubota m8540 through 5 feet high of snow one winter but took long time while blowing snow backwards so i ended up modified the rear blower and made it into a front mounted on to a loader and made some difference
gute Arbeit!!
Nice tractor
you need a giant 3 stage high snowblower big heavy tractor that don't need to reverse & foward.just drive straight through in slow move.
Buy him one
I can tell you been doing that for a while !
I'm just curious, why do you wait until you get that much? I would think it would be much easier on the machine if you went out and cleared when you have a foot or 2, not to mention it would probably actually take less time.
Wouldn't make a video then
Had your work cut out for you. What is the beeping noise every once in awhile when you are backing up?
the beep is the tractor telling me to stop riding the clutch. but I don't want it to stall and I've got it in high revs so the snow will throw faster and farther but that makes me go to fast in reverse so . it is what it is ..
Tar Nation My 4608 has that same beep, but I decided that even though it happens when I'm standing on the clutch, it's actually the seat sensor yelling at me for getting off the seat while in gear. Try keeping more weight on the seat while clutching. It's tricky but the beep will stop.
mine beeps because of the seat too, but I think it also beeps if your in gear and have the clutch half in for more than like 10 seconds. check it out on yours
Yeah, I'll have to check it out when it comes back from the shop. Transmission issues.
Long ass driveway
That tree line needs to go lol
should definitely get a dual auger for drifts like that lot easier
This is the road from my ranch and why I go to Yuma in the winter now
Did you ever finish the road as well I’d like to know I’m surprised you didn’t do a part two of this video
i did finish but my camera didn't have enough film to keep going and it was crazy the whole way.. don't worry there will be more coming as soon as the snow gets here
Tar Nation Where is your other video watch 2018 buddy you live north of me and you’re more likely to get snow
..I remember seeing wooden snowfences put up and taken down every year up here...
Whats the beeping noise?
Drift cutters Sir.
Any reason your running 1600 rpm instead of the rated 2k rpm for 540?
To not burn the clutch up.
No snow fencing?
Those trees are gonna do you in every year
I dont want to sound offenssive, but did it cost a lot of fuel?
You are from northern Ontario. Creamor is our local beverage up here. So I naturally thought every one should be drinking it liberally. And that's the only liberal thing we need to do. Cheers.
haha ill agree but theres more drinks than just creemore
I'm thinking of getting a snow blower. I get about 4ft of snow per winter. I'd prefer 6. :P
Why do you blow the snow across your field of vision ? doesn't seem windy that day, so why
not have the chute going to the right side ? never done this--just wondering....
SailorAllan that's where the snow came from. That's probably the prevailing wind direction. If he blew it to the right it would make the drift larger the next time it blows
When you blow snow, you blow it down wind to get help from momma nature....
I don't know why he doesn't attack the small side drifts first and then the large ones. and yes cutters would help!
He was........
