I truly admire how humble you are Mike. You mentioned how grateful you are for being able to own your skid steer. It’s awsome that you recognize things in life that we take for granted. We are blessed sir!!
Schools are closed today in the U.P.; planning ahead for another storm. Post offices are federal buildings, recordings are ok but some Karens will still say you're not allowed. We'll watch anything you post, I look forward to your videos. Where can we order Case quarter zips too?
I love the U.P. My moms family is from there and I've spent summers in Ontonagon as long as I can remember. Now I'm 37 and spend winters up there snowmobiling. Keep warm with a pasty my friend.
I work by Mike and we shut it down today too, some corridors are getting slammed, but closer to the big lake is getting less. Supposedly 17 inches according to AT&T haha
Mike, cool video. You can keep all the snow up there. Hope you and the family are keeping warm and safe. Keep up with the great video's, I see Fred was not out and about, he's smart to stay on these snowy days.
Great video Mike. Good seeing you, and crossing paths with Ryan (saw his video today, also, of the same storm). Don't worry about the frequency of videos, life is life and those of who watch and subscribe will enjoy whenever you are able to post. And, yes about the green strobes, kind of. Many state DOT's, if not the federal DOT as well, have researched the best possible visibility lighting, since at least the mid 2010's, and have found that Green is the best color to enhance visibility and reduce glare in reduced and impared visibility to increase safety and awareness of vehicles in such situations. So many, if not all state (if national also) DOT regulated vehicles have adopted the use of green strobes on vehicles operating in such conditions. Is it mandatory?! Not sure. But, at least, high recommended based on the research and information gather over time they have been put into use.
Glad to see you all finally got some snow :P I hope you're heads ok, looked like a nasty smash. Enjoyable video as always, it's fun watching you do what you do, also great music 👍
Nice video Mike. Enjoy watching you do snow removal and good to see you hook up with Ryan and catch up on the gossip. Good job and keep up the good work.
Great video again Mike! Here in ohio I use a little green Scott seed spreader as my sidewalk salter! It’s only about $50 for one give it a try you’ll be impressed!
Great video Mike! I had the same issue with my dome light in my Chevy it ended up being the headlight switch. The dome light button is built into the same switch and it develops a loose connection internally. Just a GM doing GM things lol. Hope that helps.
Hope you’re enjoying to storm today Mike, it’s like money is falling from the sky! Be safe today buddy, we shut down this morning at 4 am, hard to pull in massive copper cables on the north side of MKE when you have no traction haha
In Ryan's @VictoryOutdoorServices video I thought it was weird that you only talked for 30 seconds haha. Glad you put the full convo in yours! Love to hear what you and him have to say no matter if it is BS'ing haha.
I have an 04 GMC duramax that the dome and radio would stay on. It was similar to what @Bumpypaper1 mentions but the door latch that keeps the door closed. There is a switch in the latch mechanism that tells the radio and dome that you opened the door so they all should shut off. Found this out by opening the passenger door and the light and radio would quit. $300 part in Canada ugh
Something of note is that when they call for 5” of snow it doesn’t mean you will have 5” stacked up at the end. It’s just like rain where it can melt and compact as it comes down. They may call for 3” but you may only see 1”… we all love to hate on the weather man (including me) but sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know. Great vid though, love to see other plow contractors getting it done!
For your bucket strap idea, I did it myself a year or 2 ago and I love it. But instead of a ratchet strap, use an adjustable shoulder strap from a tool bag. Preferably one with a foam pad on it. If you do that I am sure you will be much happier with it. Also I put a gamma food grade lid on my bucket to keep it from spilling or getting wet in the bed of my truck
In Georgia, it is unlawful for any entity (except government) to operate a green flashing light on any vehicle. It is typically used for Command Center
Hey Mike from Canada 🇨🇦 Montreal here You have to work in and there with Ryan in next concrete season i think your skill, work ethic and attitude is a blast 💥 It I know you have your own thing now but I can dream of it still 😊 Keep the the great work ✌️
Reference the green light transition. There was a study several years ago, they discovered blue followed by green was the easiest to see at further distance. After that study, ODOT in Ohio and most counties switched to some kind of combo of green, white and amber. And a lot of law enforcement switched to mostly all blue with some red mixed in. I can't speak for other states.
dome light strong possiblity push button when door open and closes is sticking or wore out, 8.00 doalar fix , pry out unplug plug new in push back in slot or hole ur done
He's the same guy complaining to the city. Sends his roof water 20 feet to the property line. Here that's no no. My neighbor tried that the city made him remove it as it is against City by laws.
I noticed your neighbors sump hose goes all the way to the property line and dumping towards your driveway. Accidental of course. 😉 I'm just west of the Twin Cities suburbs and we just got 1/2" during all these storms. I cleared my driveway with my Gas blower. 😆
Ohio odot started using green light because you could see the plows better so if you're a plow guy you're allowed to use yellow white and green light on your plow but check with your state first Ohio allows it, Spencer lawn care uses green and white lights on his plow trucks
Try a canvass bag which will mold to your body and a lot more comfortable. I think your logic is good so never stop trying to improve things like Toyota "Kaizen" continuous improvement.
Maybe put the eyelets at the top of the bucket not completely opposite of each-other. This will keep the bucket upright and should allow you to reach in. After a while you might want a ratchet strap to distribute the weight on your shoulder.
22:42 we all wipe a tear of enjoyment from our eyes too after seeing Ryan 😂

Awesome, Mike. Thanks for the video. Hope your new baby is doing well!
Great hard work Mike! Thank you for the video! That was awesome to watch!
We love you Mike, you make sure to give out only quality content not just filler videos
Post every day .

I believe the little tractor heard you say she was gonna be gone, and she retaliated. 😂 Good vidja Mike ...keep em rollin!

Wtf are you talking about? No federal state or city vehicle in my state has green lights on them at all and never have!
EMT POVs run green lights in Indiana. And in Florida green is used with orange for security cars
Glad to see you all finally got some snow :P I hope you're heads ok, looked like a nasty smash. Enjoyable video as always, it's fun watching you do what you do, also great music 👍
Your plow rig looks pretty sweet Mike. I've been seeing you lots lately in Ryan's videos. Hello from Arizona.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always, Mike!!!!!
even with not much happening the videos you are putting out are still great
Hi Mike just saw you on Ryan's channel.
Nice video Mike. Enjoy watching you do snow removal and good to see you hook up with Ryan and catch up on the gossip. Good job and keep up the good work.
“That’s future Michaels problem” 😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos Mike. Stay busy and keep up the good work
That’s a headed seat. Look at this👍🏻! That was hilarious. Great vid Mike.
That was awesome seeing Ryan...and heated seats...ohh yeahhh the best bro!!!
You have a good channel
Keep the videos coming I enjoy yours just as I enjoy Ryan and Eric’s.
Great video again Mike! Here in ohio I use a little green Scott seed spreader as my sidewalk salter! It’s only about $50 for one give it a try you’ll be impressed!

Hey Mike I def wanna see how and what you do for lighting on your skid steer , love the content man !!
And you got a badass salter setup that truck looks sweet ✅
Great work Mike loves these videos
Nice video... Thanks Mike.👍
Was good to hear Jarren (?)is still working for you when you need him.
Great video Mike! I had the same issue with my dome light in my Chevy it ended up being the headlight switch. The dome light button is built into the same switch and it develops a loose connection internally. Just a GM doing GM things lol. Hope that helps.
Hope you’re enjoying to storm today Mike, it’s like money is falling from the sky! Be safe today buddy, we shut down this morning at 4 am, hard to pull in massive copper cables on the north side of MKE when you have no traction haha
Goooooood morning, Mike!
Great video I enjoyed it very much keep up the good work
Use Eric's pull along cooler for your salt
In Ryan's @VictoryOutdoorServices video I thought it was weird that you only talked for 30 seconds haha. Glad you put the full convo in yours! Love to hear what you and him have to say no matter if it is BS'ing haha.
Hey Mike, the dome light might be the door switch. Happened on my old Chevy work van, and took the shop two weeks to figure it out, was a 40$ part!
I have an 04 GMC duramax that the dome and radio would stay on. It was similar to what @Bumpypaper1 mentions but the door latch that keeps the door closed. There is a switch in the latch mechanism that tells the radio and dome that you opened the door so they all should shut off. Found this out by opening the passenger door and the light and radio would quit. $300 part in Canada ugh
“Maybe I’ll just leave the truck in drive” I love it I do the same
Goooooood work!!!!!!!!!!
West Covina Cal.in the house my brother ,stay safe out there.

Good to see you again Mike, saw you on Ryan’s video earlier.😂 How are you liking the solid tires on the skid loader? Keep the videos coming.🇺🇸🙏
Great video and don't forget to breath! Your family needs you! Stay safe! Peace
In Georgia, it is unlawful for any entity (except government) to operate a green flashing light on any vehicle. It is typically used for Command Center
Omg!! Be careful Mike..COME ON!!! JEEZE LOUWEEZ!! LOL
We all want Wisconsin Winters back! Nice Video!
I'm just watching you're video right now 👍its -21 and it's cold up here Northern Ontario Canada
Hey Mike from Canada 🇨🇦 Montreal here
You have to work in and there with Ryan in next concrete season i think your skill, work ethic and attitude is a blast 💥
It I know you have your own thing now but
I can dream of it still 😊
Keep the the great work ✌️
Hi Mike, in the UK the green strobe signifies the operator has there seat belt on 🇬🇧👍🏻
Awesome video

Thanks for the content, Mike! I think every doctor will agree...whenever you have head trauma, the best thing to do is go to sleep. 😂😂😊
Not true. THE WORST thing for things like a concussion is sleep.
@helium5912 I was being rhetorical.
I've heard if you don't lose consciousness then you don't need to worry. I could be wrong.
False@@Nate_E
-43 where I live 2 feet of snow, school buses are still running.
Gotta love Canada
Get it Mike 💪
Road Commission and city plows have green lights in the U.P., too. At least on the western end anyway.
lmao😁 future mikes problem
I always say the same thing when I don’t feel like fixing something on the spot
- future me will fix it
Our county plows have had green strobes on them for a few years. I will say I find it easier to see green strobe in a snow storm than the amber.
Great video
2👍👍 up bro stay safe out there
Great video! I miss the intro though, that’s one of my favorite parts of your videos.
👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty slick video 🫡
I'm glad you've got the heated seat , nice 👍👍👍💯❤️
Mike check your door latch’s for that dome light sometimes the pressure switch go bad
dome light strong possiblity push button when door open and closes is sticking or wore out, 8.00 doalar fix , pry out unplug plug new in push back in slot or hole ur done
My 2005 Silverado cab lights do that. I gotta hit the round interior button but head light switch few times n goes off
The slings you get with stihl weedeaters work wonders for that!
Mike, I'm curious to know...do your accounts pay per storm or per pass that you do?
How do you feel about your neighbor draining the water to your property? (Black corrugated pipe) 3:30
He's the same guy complaining to the city. Sends his roof water 20 feet to the property line. Here that's no no. My neighbor tried that the city made him remove it as it is against City by laws.
Do you guys charge per push or per contract up there?
I noticed your neighbors sump hose goes all the way to the property line and dumping towards your driveway. Accidental of course. 😉
I'm just west of the Twin Cities suburbs and we just got 1/2" during all these storms. I cleared my driveway with my Gas blower. 😆
The state started running green strobes a couple years ago around here, now every private plow truck on the road has em.
All right, all right it is what it is
Let’s go mike!!!
Ohio odot started using green light because you could see the plows better so if you're a plow guy you're allowed to use yellow white and green light on your plow but check with your state first Ohio allows it, Spencer lawn care uses green and white lights on his plow trucks
good video can i just say plz can you do more real time snow plowing
You should use the scott lawn spreader
Try a canvass bag which will mold to your body and a lot more comfortable. I think your logic is good so never stop trying to improve things like Toyota "Kaizen" continuous improvement.
Maybe put the eyelets at the top of the bucket not completely opposite of each-other. This will keep the bucket upright and should allow you to reach in. After a while you might want a ratchet strap to distribute the weight on your shoulder.
I like it lite up when I plow snow I have work lights and a amber light in top of the cab
It is a new thing for municipalities with the green lights. They are the only ones that can use them. It is to make the plows more visible.
Here in Canada green lights mean volunteer firefighters.
@@613rob Where I live they have green color on fire department equipment. It signify the command of the truck.
Here in Des Moines area or state of IA for that matter, DOT plow trucks have white and blue strobe lights
how do you get commercial contracts?
Remember you can record in any public place that’s open to public and the post office has a poster #7 that also tells you can I enjoy your videos
That heated seat is the only way you’ll ever have a hot hind end! 😂
Enjoyed the video Mike but I was disappointed you didn't show Fred!!!!!
jr will give you two thumbs up
Mike for Wisconsin Governor 2026 !
Is using "borrowed" in place of "lend" a common thing for WI folk? Just a curious question :)
Yup
You might need to dim down the dashboard light switch could cause the dome light to stay on
For the bucket
Get a good rifle sling with so Clips should work just make sure it's a strong sling maybe even a little padding
Green strobe lights cause less accidents for the motoring public in my opinion during a storm
If Earnie from Sesame street were a person…
Worked this storm all week and I am excited to say my back is officially broken for the hours I spent in my skiddy and loader
IMO place a tight cover over the salt lest it spills over into nooks and crannies of your truck
You need a rear blade on a truck to make it worth it.. one like a 16 ft swing wing controlled by a clutch pump not electricity
hay mike how do you like the snow machine with blower on it?
It gives him a headache LOL
use the bungee strap and bucket for light weight grass seed.
i just got a kage plow for a skid loader it is a game changer definetly consider buying one
