- A little snow, plus rain and warm temperatures equals heavy wet packing snow. I warm up the Kubota LX2610 compact tractor and the LX2980 front mount snowblower for a run up the driveway to plow out the snow. What started out as a relaxing drive out to the Concession Road quickly became an adventure. I hope you will join me for a little while, here at the cottage, in the outdoors. Cheers!

There are only a handful of channels I watch that I know I can hit the thumbs up right at the beginning and will not be let down. This is definitely one of them.
Thanks you so much Darrin. I try my best for you good folks. You are awesome! Happy New Years!
@@GPOutdoors that wouldve sucked if was out in the open station be covered in snow
That cab protected you from the branches! Must be warm in there since you have no jacket on :-)
💥 Wow!! How gorgeous it is in the north woods. Those branches are really sagging with that snow. Bet you stayed nice and dry!
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Happy New Years to you and your beautiful family Jon!
Well done. You are fortunate to have the right tools for all your needs work safe have a great holiday.
Cheers Gary!
Had the same kind of snow here in Northern Wisconsin. I swing the chute back and forth when coming to those bent over trees. It knocks the snow off and many of them spring right out of the way. Luckily, I didn't need a chain saw as the properties I clear are not mine.
this look super fun
Thanks for taking me on a trip to winter wonderland. :)
Cheers and a Happy and Safe New Years to you and your family David!
I see a well placed scabbard on the Kubota and a small quantity of bar oil, fuel, scrench, and a file on board. Heck why stop there, bring a coffee pot and toaster oven. Awesome set up I did see clamp on scabbards somewhere on the internet. They go on the loader supports. Beautiful video thanks for posting. There are three kinds of people one complains how the weather is destroying the driveway, the second complains about how long it took someone to do all that work when the bill comes, and third what a great opportunity to spend some time outdoors enjoying the task at hand. I like your enthusiasm. On another note I put my dad's Kubota RTV to the test last weekend I'll try to get some video up. I was stunned at what it pulled. Probably 6 to 7k including the weight of the log trailer up hill. I wasn't even going to try it and thought I'll see how far it gets. It really didn't complain just walked right up the lawn onto the driveway and out. Amazing little piece of equipment. Happy New Year!
Wow. that's pretty great Mark! Thanks - Happy New Years!
Using the snowblower too clear off the trees is something I never would of thought of lol great technique
It's just one of those things you learn, snowblower or frontloader (if you have a rear mounted, forward facing snowblower).
Even better trick is to cut those trees down in the summer/fall, you'll have firewood for the upcoming winter AND won't have to step out of the tractor when clearing snow :)
Great job really did well
Thanks Mark!
Nice job getting the trees off the driveway
All of that white snow sure makes the Kubota Orange stand out. Very nice. Here in Peoria IL, we are getting our first little snow (other than a dusting)
Take Care, Jason
Happy New Years Jason!
@@GPOutdoors same to you
Love the long format videos. Love how you talked for 14min then completed the work.
Just a tid bit of info, when I snow blow and have hanging branches I maneuver the chute and deflector to deflock them. This keeps you from having to drive through them and more importantly gives you a bit of fun.
Reminds me of THE SHINNING
This guy is awesome
LOL! Thanks very kindly Greg! All the best!
That wet heavy stuff revealed a days worth of work trimming along the driveway. I try to get my end if driveway done first so I can blow all the salt/sand with fresh snow. Great video!!
Good video and I totally agree with you there are some days when you know you will be in the tractor moving snow in the morning, I run a rig similar to yours but with a PTO blower on the rear and loader on the front and some morning it just feels good to out doing this! Although by the end of the year I am looking to really NOT be moving snow anymore on a good snow year I get up to 60 hours in the cab moving snow and just about never less than 40 hours, by Spring I am ready to do something else with the tractor! Good video thanks for sharing!
LOL! Very true for me too, Karl. Thanks !
The winter time is always a good reminder that you will have some right of way and canopy work to do on your roadway.
Even better when you can take yer time and enjoy.thankz for sharing.
Good stuff! Funny how us tractor owner's sometimes look forward to snow! It's obvious you're digging the new cab! Nice!
I sure am Kap! So nice to have heat and shelter. Cheers!
Instead of the rear blade, you should have hooked up the wood chipper :)
I was thinking a carryall box that mounts on top of the rear blade would be good, could haul all that wood back for a nice bonfire in the spring.
Ha! Improvise! Let's throw heavy snow on the trees. Love it.
Sure is pretty . Wet snow is a pain. Looks like,e blower did well.
She did great Bob! Similar to the old one, you just have to watch how fast you ingest the snow - especially this stuff. I had no idea how wet and heavy it was until I started up the driveway and saw the trees bent over. Have a wonderful and safe New Years with your family!
Yep sure looked wet. Bet you would’ve grab a saw if you knew also. I’ve had to use my back blade before to push limb out of the way when I forgot a saw.
Great video! Really enjoyed it!
Thanks Mike!
Exactly why you need the rig you have. Beautiful
great idea blasting the branches with the snowblower! :)
lol my buddy uses the blower and pushes them off useing the blower bucket
Love the long driveway! Mine is 1200ft and almost as beautiful in the winter as yours. I wish it would stay cold down here so my driveway would freeze and stay frozen for the winter as every time I remove snow I also remove a layer of stone as well. Have a happy and safe New Years.
Maybe you are using your snow removal equipment too low to the ground. Some snow blowers have adjustable skids to keep from picking up the rock. Please consider what you are doing and why it picks up a layer of stone.
Hi GP. I just realized that you have a new tractor and a new Snowblower. I missed the transition to the new equipment. This video highlights the good and bad with a cab. If all you had was a roll bar, you could go under/thru some of those low hanging branches. But with the cab, you have to take the time to get them out of the way so not to damage your cab. Hopefully you only have to clear the trees and branches out one time per season if you have a big storm. I love your videos and hints & tips. Stay Safe my friend.
Great points P. But I must say the heat is awfully nice. :)) Have a great week!
Looks more like an exercise video than tractor use. We didn't get that much ice snow combo here , glad of that. Cheers
Wow! That was quite the operation!!
Glad you had the gear and knowledge to clear it all up!
What a beautiful, winter wonderland!! Happy New Year! Stay safe.
Great job on the video edit. Good to see you improvise as you go, and adapt when you need to. When you're out clearing, and trees are coming down, you can't hear the "crack", so the "I shouldn't be out here alone" rings very true. I notice you take a good look around at the trees near you, when you're gonna start chainsawing.....well done.
Wow, that is indeed an adventure! First time I ever see a snowblower shooting for limbs so they can clear the way. At some point, it looked like a Nintendo game! Lol! Thanks GP!
LOL! It kind of turned into a bit of fun Joe. As you can see, I need more practice. LOL! Can't wait to see you clearing that new long driveway! Hope you and your family had a good New Years Day!
Just an FYI, I watched a video yesterday about putting on a ceramic coat on ALL the parts that the snow comes in contact with.
Must have a clean, dry snowblower, then clean with isopropyl alcohol first. I'm sure you could find videos if you are interested.
The guy had virtually no snow build up after using and it's supposed to last all season.
“Engage!”? Gord, would you happen to be a fan of Captain Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation?!?! BEAUTIFUL there!!
LOL! That is too funny. Yes, I am ,and moreover, after I watched the final version, I laughed thinking exactly that. LOL. Cheers Dean!
that was great enjoyed watching I didn't have to do anything you did all the work thanks for sharing Happy New year to you and your family take care
@@GPOutdoors WOHOO!! Okay, mandatory favourite episode question? Mine is “The Inner Light”!! 😁
Cought that as well Number One!
You sure had your work cut out for you (no pun intended). You did a great job clearing your driveway,( probably the longest driveway I have ever seen) Hope you enjoyed your coffee after all that hard work,
. Nice job and nice equipment God Bless.
GP the night of the storm, "I can't wait for morning and a nice relaxing ride up & down the driveway in my cab"
Mother Nature, "Ha...think again buddy!" lol
Wow that was an adventure, sure did look cool with all the snow on the trees, but the clean up is a mess. In the extended play near the end there was a tree hanging over that looked like it was gonna come down.
Thanks Dan! There were a few. Honestly, I should have called Guy or Bob to come out. Literally, while I was out there, tree tops and limbs continued to crash down around me. I didn't want to make the video too dramatic, but that's why I went all the way back to get my Helmet. Happy New years to you and your wonderful family my friend! I look forward to hanging with you in the New Year!
I like that batterysaw. I usually spend the first 25 minutes mixing gas and trying to get the saw started(without spilling mess in cab).
Amazing how a little moisture can change the forest. Stay safe, Happy New Year, and thanks for the great cup of coffee
Impressive that blower is able to handle so wet snow. Many typical rear V-blows used by farm tractors would be in trouble.
Tractor vid, argh, argh, argh! :) How to get snow heavy trees out of the way? Sno blo them. Or drive through them.
Well the skeeters didnt seem too bad today.
LOL. Too funny - Cheers!
HOLY WINTER WONDER LAND !
THINGS LIKE A SNOW CANNON !
TAKE THAT OLD MAN WINTER !!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Happy New Years Bubba! I hope you had an awesome Christmas and wish you and your family the very best for 2021! Keep people smiling. You are a positive force :))
Thank You , you as well G.P.
Keep them , vid-z , coming. ............... OH !!!
better not let Carol see you out there play'n around in the heated cab , list-en-in 2 winter songs..........
......... u-ll B cleaning the proch and cars with the shovel and scraper and YOU KNOW WHO will bee do'n the drive.
... Next time make it look like us-n this new tractor is like go'n to the dentist............ CHEERS !
....... and lets get the hell rid of 2020 !
Makes me wish I had PTO on my Terramite tractor/loader/backhoe.
I really enjoyed that❤❤❤
Watching GP blow snow is therapy for your soul . Happy new year GP and to all your viewers.
Happy New years Mark! All the best for 2021!
Man how nice is that cab now
:))
Looks like you're having a great time. Love to see you are doing well.
Thanks TJ!
cheers
Lovely driveway Gord. Much better to be driving forward and not in reverse. Be safe.
Happy New Year Sunjay!
And the purpose of an adventure is to have one. Fun to watch your blower
G P great it's how things go when you heavy snow we are to 5 or 6 inches tonight with 35 mph winds so tomorrow morning when it's light we can move the snow looking forward to it
God Bless All
PaK
It sure is Peter! Happy New Years to you and your family my friend!
Making work fun.
I like Kubota products, because I've used their tractors, and attachments. When It comes to lawn care I prefer Cub Cadet, they offer shaft drive lawn tractors and they make really nice finish mowers! 🇺🇲👍
Hate the wet heavy snow. It’s a bit slower going but it gets done. Great video 👍
Very nice idea of clearing some bent trees by shooting them with the discharge! Looks like it worked pretty good too!
Nice work on the uphill run. Wasn't sure the 'other' orange tractor was going to make it 😁
LOL. Me either Kap! Thanks for tuning in - Happy New Year and all the best for 2021!
I guess one advantage of the snowblower is it throws the snow away from the road where a plow packs it against the sides. I know when I plow and it gets deep, the road gets narrower and narrower. This is because I have a fence on each side.
I have 2 gas Echo chain saws and 2 Dewalt cordless, I love the cordless, for small stuff... Nice vid...
Greetings Gord, Lee here, those snows suck big time, imagine doing this without a cab, no more snow down your neck. I like your trick with the shute, moving the bent over trees. Your road looks like it has a nice base now after blowing it out, you and your family keep well, Happy New Year, Later
Hey good evening Lee! So great to hear from you. Yes, it was a fluke- but now I know I can hit those branches and make the tree retract out of the way. LOL. Always new things to learn. I hope you and your family had a nice Christmas! Have a Happy New Years!
Love your homestead...
Snow looks super
Thank you very much for a very nice video I really appreciate how you take care of your tractor just don’t run over things
a lovely place where you live
have a happy and safe new year and I look forward to your next video.
Wow! Neat toys!
I don’t think I will ever complain about my driveway again! Great scenery!
The tractor did fantastic with that heavy snow. 👍
LOL! Cheers LC!
Awesome videos
Wonderful video of the snow! I have a 1300 foot wooded driveway and the 3-5 inches of snow we got for Christmas was beautiful as well!
Haha for a minute there it just looked like you were just straight-up snowblowing through the woods. Great video! I love these kubotas
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place. Most of the time if you shut your PTO off you can push those small trees off of the road and not hurt anything finish the job later.
The blower handled that heavy snow better than the trees did.
LOL!
What a chore! Folks who use the concession are lucky to have you. Maybe you and your buddies can work on clear cutting it about 10 feet more along each side in the summer? Happy new year! -Ed
I need to get a snow blower for my tractor! Great video!
Cool, target practice!
Excellent video & to have bonus video too. Awesome.
Gord, I appreciate that with all the snow clearing and to have to deal with all the downed trees you took the time to setup all the great camera shots.
Awesome job. You have a great channel. It shows that you do enjoy doing what you do to provide us with great content and enjoyment. 😃 👍
Good morning and thanks kindly Daniel. I really appreciate the support and am very happy you enjoy them. Enjoy your Sunday!
Love the smell of 2 stroke oil and fresh cut pine in the winter. It's almost intoxicating. lol
Good timing. It snowed here last night and when I finish my coffee it’s out on the Kubota and clear the lane. Cheers GP.
Have a great time out there Terry!
Nice video. New sub. The snow blowing the low-hanging limbs was a good trick.
Thanks and welcome Phil! LOL. It was a little fun, I have to admit. Cheers!
Always enjoy your video. Lots of work I know.from oregon.
Thanks 👍 Matt! Happy Thanksgiving!
Looked like a video game hitting all the trees with your discharge! 😂
LOL!
Good evening Gord great video, I remember days like that, just like Mama said ! 🤔 Glad you got through it safely . Thanks for sharing with us, Happy New Year to you and Carol and the family. Fred.
Happy New Years Fred! All the best of happiness and success for next year my friend!
We use to have a lot of cedars along the side of our 2/10 of a mile driveway. But over the years ice storms and heavy snow have caused me to have to cut them down to be able to get out and go to work. What is really bad is when they are touching the driveway and it is freezing rain and the get stuck to the driveway. That makes it that much harder to get them cut and out of the way. Enjoyed the video with the snow. Let's hope that it is a Happy New Year! Be safe out there!
You have all the toys--I love it!
Happy New year to you all
Happy new year
It’s fun 🤩
Isn't that a perfect way to describe 2020. AN ADVENTURE ! I sure didn't expect what we got this year. To all my fellow subscribers & GP. Have a Happy New Year, Cheers to All. We deserve a better 2021, lets hope that's what we get.
Whatever you paid for that setup... it just paid you back !! Awesome setup !!
Wow!!! Beautiful video. Well you wanted an adventure and you got it. But, you forgot to cue the deer, to walk down the driveway, and appear in this video. Maybe next time. I’ll bet you were loving that heated cabin on this adventure, and stayed much dryer with it. Money well invested. Have a safe and Happy New Years.
Like the snow but not the branches leaning into the drive. Easy to damage the tractor.
That wet snow is putting the bogg on that engine. Seems to handle it no problem though. 👍🏼
Great video gp. I was gritting my teeth as you drove through those branches😃
Until 4;45 I was yelling at you. You have the best toy to hit those sagging branches with. You got it.
LOL! It took me a bit but I did! :)) Cheers!
I realize it gets miserable and cold...but I'd love to do that just once.
Your lucky here in southern New Brunswick,we may have had 5 cm and ground is now bare.
Gord, another great video. Love the "extended play". How relaxing that must be - Tractor Therapy to be sure. Think it's time for a SAWHAUL on that bad boy. Yes, "Engauge", loved it. What a absolutely beautiful property you have. Peace.
Wow, seemed like she was bogging down a bit. GP thank you 🙏 for the content you’ve put out this year. Also thanks to Guy, Koda, Bob and anyone else I’ve missed for their expertise and contributions. Here’s to brighter days ahead in 2021. Happy New Year. 🎊🎈🎆
Thanks Sonnic! I appreciate all your support this year. Have a great New Years!
Great video !!! Thank you !!! Happy new year. !!!! I hope you have a great new year !!!!
Thanks Mark. You too!
Happy New Year's Day⛄🍲🍷🍷🐾to your whole family!
Thanks Beth! Happy New Years!
You have to be loving that cab buddy!
LOL. I sure am Tim! Happy New Years, buddy!
GP out at the end by the gate you could hear the tractor bogging in down in the heavy wet snow. That is a beast of a tractor.
Sean, Gord’s cottage is in the Haliburton vicinity. Those last rains and above freezing temps we had in eastern Ontario were mostly snow and cold on the west side of a lineline running from the east side of Toronto northeast through Bancroft. On the west side of that line, it was either snow or a snow/rain mix. That cold/warm line ran from Toronto due south through the US. The western part of Pennsylvania was all snow, with rain in the east. It was colder in northern Florida’s on Christmas Eve and Day than it was in the whole eastern part of Canada. Strange weather indeed!
Happy New Years , God Bless
Happy New Years!
