@@JohnnyMow I sure will. Don't get a lot of snow but we get alot of ice. However my commercial contracts want me to up my snow removal game this next season
We in Cincinnati use Calcium for walkways etc. Bulk for Chevy 3500hd with 9 foot boss and under body tailgate spreader. 3 pickups with boss plows and 3 boss tgs 1100. I just ordered a tractor trailer of rock salt. We use every bit of 16 pallets and Lord knows how much bulk lol. We service alot of "NO TOLERANCE " properties. Its my son and i and a friend of mine who helps us every winter...he only plows for us. We're at 17 commercial properties as of today...8-3-21
I just added salting to the plowing been out 6 times salting and 1 commercial up high to plow . Salting is we’re the money is at sense the winter have been so bad up north no snow ❄️
@@JohnnyMow major consistent money come spring. We aren’t huge into snow. A 2 incher is only worth a couple grand of revenue to us. We can easily do over $5k/day in season.
Btw I’m glad to see you have stocked up. I’ve ordered four more pallets for pick up Monday and we are now on a waiting list for beyond that. The salt crisis has returned. 2014/15 was the last time it was this bad.
I’m currently using a 2 yard VBox spreader for the last 5 years that I get loaded at a local landscape supply yard for $105/cu yd but before this I had a 10 cubic ft western pro flo tailgate spreader. I could never justify the cost of bagged salt so I only used bulk. I got a free used home oil tank that I cut in 1/2 and strapped down and it held about 1 yard of salt that I just shoveled in to the spreader and bungee corded a heavy tarp over it to keep it dry. If it ever did freeze up on me I’d dump a couple gallons of washer fluid over it and let it sit and it would soften it up but that’s only when it was super cold out. Years ago I also used a open trailer with wood sides on it that I’d store a few tons of salt in to have on hand if I needed it, in that case I burrito wrapped it in a tarp to keep it dry. It worked well but too much shoveling for me lol.
@@JohnnyMow Yes sir. If I have left over I’ll dump it into some green landscape barrels if i know it’s going freeze but this season I’ve been going out constantly so haven’t had to worry to much. My landscape supplier is open during events day and night so it’s convenient.
Definitely a good year for salt runs. I think I’ve done 25 so far. Only plowed 7 or 8 events. February is looking like a busy month to finish it out too!
I’m in the same boat. I’m convinced at this point to go to bulk salt before next season. Storage and delivery are problems I need to solve and the main reason I’ve never gone to it before. I get my bagged product at wholesale for $225 a pallet for the winter melt and love my vendor. The drive down to Indy sucks and at this point is burning time and money for as much as we have had to get this year. However, I’m not banking on it being this busy next year. Can’t bank on any of it! I love diamond crystal winter melt. It’s clean has a nice consistency that crushes and lasts with traffic on the lots. Lately with the cold temps I’ve been using my “premium” blends like Pro Slicer and now Industrial Strength Ice melt which has both calcium and magnesium chloride in it... it ain’t cheap but it works twice as good/fast in the low temps and I’ve covered the price increases in our contracts. However it’s dusty as crap and cakes very easy. So winter melt is my jam when temps allow. Bagged is convenient and stores easy. But bulk is less time and money if you have the storage and loading figured out. I will for sure do a video on my current situation and thinking for the future. Appreciate the video. Just uploaded for the first time in awhile on our current routine here lately. Man I miss that tgs1100 for ease of hook and unhooks. This SnowEx 1075 sucks to take off and on and no swing mounts in stock that I’ve found. 👊🏻 Ps: I’ve been studying up on brines/liquid solutions and applicators. Seems like a healthy option for certain occasions and really minimizes product usages. Still a lot to learn but it’s something to consider.
I buy treated(blue) bulk salt from my local supplier $100/ton and haul it in my Cam Superline dump insert. Then I dump it on my driveway and cover with a large tarp. I back my truck up to the pile, and shovel my SnowDogg TGS07 full by hand. It only takes about 10 minutes to shovel it full, my salt run takes 2 spreaders full. It’s not super ideal, but much cheaper than buying a 20-30k used skid steer. I’ll take some pictures for you next time.
Great question for us. I already had a compact tractor with a bucket so we put up a salt shed and I get bulk delivered. I believe I paid 66.50 a ton delivered, but size wise I’m myself and one employee which is where I plan on staying. We’re doing about 80 tons of salt a year south of Buffalo
@@JohnnyMow thanks! Sounds like your really at the point where you need to try and capture some of that cost effectiveness of bulk but I get not wanting it to take up your entire garage. Tough decision
@@JohnnyMow if it’s more of a storage issue for your bulk salt buckets could you justify buying a shed for just salt and then getting a couple tons at a time like you used to do? Just a thought to keep your garage space free
I been using jumbo trashcan s for years use them for everything imaginable keep ten and rotate .. love them cus wen they get too heavy just take zero turn and push them around as needed anyways great video.. if u buy from a trash company they about 90$
I must say that is a lot of events in a winter. I am not sure what our guys average here in central Illinois for salting. As far as snow I would say we have about 8 to 10 plowable events. Have had a lot more this winter only Jan until now. Nothing in December. We average 25 inches of snow a winter. I do know a few guys that just do residential who just use a push spreader for salting. But I see that would be very hard for as many as you are doing. I don't salt at all and only do about 6 to 8 driveways. I just feel there are too many variables and u will never know exactly how much salt u would need. Everyone of our snows has been different this year from super wet to now powder. At least it is paid for and worst thing is you have to rearrange and store your extra.
I use Hot Rock EcoGuard. It is a Magnesium and Sodium Chloride blend. It runs a few dollars more a bag than standard rock salt but I’ve had pretty good success with it. I use a Meyer push spreader and have no desire to put a tailgate spreader on my truck.
I use American rock salt. But I keep the pallets outside and tarped. Never had major issues w them freezing up. I have Bobcat mt85 which helps w loading bags. Elmira, Ny it’s 240 per skid. There 50 lb bags.....noticed your were 40
Thank you. We get 49 per skid @ 50lb per bag the calcium mix is 63per skid @40lb. I pay about 225 a skid is 234 a skid. The calcium is 363 a skid for 63 bags
I’m solo as well. Not sure the cost savings of bulk salt outweigh the cost of storage and the need for machine to load it. Also it seems to be fluke year w salting events.
Two things that can work one is if you choose to go the vbox/inbed route you can see if you can get loaded from a local supplier per storm. If you want to keep the tailgate spreader my buddy goes to the supplier and gets a super sack with about a yard of bulk salt and keeps it in the bed and shovels it into the hopper as needed he also has the same salter as you.
When I buy my bulk salt I fill the truck then transfer to large green landscape barrels. Put them on furniture mover dolly jobbers from harbor freight so you can move em. A ton (scoop) usually fills about 3 of them, plus 15 five gallon buckets. I use the 5 gal's during storms, then refill them from the green barrels by hand. Little tedious, but everything is in the garage.
I'm pretty sure I got them at home depot. But any landscape supply should carry them. They're the big green (sometimes now orange) landscapers barrels that a lot of guys use.
My western tornado throws over 40ft pattern easily. My bulk salt is in a small bin setup with concrete blocks and covered with a tarp. Nothing fancy. I load it with a front loader tractor. Literally never touch the salt by hand. Not worth hurting my back. I'm close to you in youngstown area. Payin about 80 per ton delivered. I've got a flatbed, it allows me to also have a snow blower with me and shovels onboard. I'll be prepping tomorrow for monday's storm if your interested in checking it out.
This is probably the best winter I’ve had in a few years. It’s been snowing every week. I’ve never worked a blizzard yet. Most I’ve done was 18 inches. It sucked
Only thing I can suggest is look into a sea container retail for the winter and perhaps a stand on skid steer rental sometimes you can get them for a good price in the winter this way your not going to pay in all the repairs that they will cost you from salt but this would only work if you have a bit of extra space
Hey Johnny, Little if topic but is that a milwalki back pack on the wall? Getting into spraying this year, starting first year with back packs, dont wanna spend 10kcad right now on full system until I'm sure. What do u like or dislike about it? And do u spot or blanket spray with it? I need to get 1 +a backup for this year
I have to give you guys with bag salt alot of credit loading those bags after each stop in the cold up and down out of the truck.I have 2 salt dog pro 3000 spreaders and a saltdogg dump insert with a tailgate salter they get the job done the 3000 have the kids nice option, we have a salt bin with some slicer and blue salt we load with a compact tractor with a skid as our backup
What’s up Johnny. I switched over to bulk salt for the first time this year. I’m using the Boss 6500. I’m never going back to bags. I built a rolling table to slide the spreader on and off. No machine. Check out my setup video!
@@JohnnyMow so; I built a table with wheels. It always stays on the table unless it’s on the truck. I just push it into the garage to store it. You could also store it outside if you wanted to.I can make a video showing the table if you’re interested

I’ve went to bulk salt and put a western 1.5 yd spreader I just go out to the supply yard get loaded up before storms and during storms etc I have access to 3 places that sell me bulk salt in my area that’s about both same descent from my place of home base etc
@@JohnnyMow yup, I got enough but closet salt is in Dayton Ohio which is about 1hr 30min drive. I’m just hoping I have enough to get me through the season.
Stick with the tailgate salter. Your supplier might not be there at the wee hours of the middle of the night to load you up; then you got problems ... maybe do what @countryside used to do a few years ago and grab bulk and transfer into Pales on your off says for a little cheaper product
Were you the one that bought all the vaporizer from Lowe’s? I was their looking for it a few weeks ago and I found out that the Vaporizer was vaporized. 🤣🤣
Jonny, This year so far has been my best year in snow, I run an 03 F250 with a Western straight blade and a the same boss salt spreader as you, I run an additional truck for sidewalks that does have a plow but it’s main purpose is sidewalks and residential driveways, I have 2 guys that sub for me on a couple bigger commercial accounts I have. At those bigger accounts I am allowed to store bagged salt on site, my big purchase I will be making sometime this spring is a brand new F450 dump truck, as far as the direction I want to move into is full bed salt spreaders.
I switch to (ice be gone) so I didn’t have to be mix different products due to temperatures The only problem is that the tailgate Spreader will not work that well I ended up putting a vibrator so work so so will Buy snow ex v-maxx 75550. 1.5 yard sander/salter for next season I have a small driveway so I just put everything in buckets and have it covered outside (www.ibgmagic.com)
@@JohnnyMow Oh man I really don’t know they do sell it in bags but is quite more expensive I pay $130 per ton Since I used is I don’t have to worry about temperatures is incredible I don’t have to worry about what time I am applying it so much flexibility it’s just really cool search here in UA-cam for you will see I am also debating because I might go liquid next season with the same ice be gone Go in the website and find a dealer near you hopefully you have one so you can give and Get prices
We have the Snow ex V-maxx 7550 on one of our trucks, and we love it! It's our 8th season on it, we run about 50 tons thru it a season.. We use to run bagged salt (15 years) thru tail gate spreaders & it was killing us (psychically & in the wallet) We're lucky we have a great bulk salt supplier a mile from us @$116. a ton. In 8 years they only ran low one time (we keep about 4 pallets of bagged salt on hand for emergency's).. Good luck out there!
Nothing more fun than pushing a thousand pound trash can up trailer ramp

We have the Snow ex V-maxx 7550 on one of our trucks, and we love it! It's our 8th season on it, we run about 50 tons thru it a season.. We use to run bagged salt (15 years) thru tail gate spreaders & it was killing us (psychically & in the wallet) We're lucky we have a great bulk salt supplier a mile from us @$116. a ton. In 8 years they only ran low one time (we keep about 4 pallets of bagged salt on hand for emergency's).. Good luck out there!
@@nickd5591 Yes I don’t know if I could get a new one but a buddy of mine has one so he might sell it Or otherwise I will get something really similar
Johnny, you married? No one can help you? Any kids?
Yes my daughter carried 6 bags of the four pallets 😂
@@JohnnyMow lol. Oh well. It was a thought
