Thanks a lot. My youngest son was a great disk golf player. He is off in college now but was just home using it over Thanksgiving. More snow videos in the next couple days as we are getting snow early this year.
She is a very active dog and chases cars but stays away from their tires. She is smart, but has to run 5 miles a day to stay calm. Have to pay more attention and keep her away from my blower for sure.
Red cans designate gasoline, yellow for diesel and blue for kerosene. It doesn’t matter to most people, until a fuel winds up somewhere it’s not suppose to be.
I'm the only one who uses my cans but I know what you are talking about. The new diesel spouts have a yellow cap and my gas can has a red cap. I'm pretty careful but will be sorry if I use the wrong can. Just trying to extend the life of the current ones until I have to buy new ones.
If my gas tank was filled from the top of the hood I might be tempted but it is low enough to lift the cans up until I get too old to do that!!! Thanks for watching my videos.
Thank you very much. Built this house in 1991. Been blowing snow since then every winter. Some deep, some years kind of light, but always fun. My kubota is only two years old and is a mighty helpful tool for my entire neighborhood. Thanks for watching my videos!
8:12 SHAME! There's nothing there to blow, and further You should be in fourth gear and RAMMING the snow into that blower. look at 8:12 and see how very thin the snow is coming out the top of the blower. (less than an inch from top to bottom) In fact that fluffy 6 inches maybe isn't even worth blowing. Just leave it 'til it amounts to something. Real shame to even start it! my god 8:44 it's not an inch, it's more like a quarter of an inch. What a waste. 10:22 you should be doing 15 or 20 miles per hour FORWARD, NOT IN REVERSE. 14:49 look at the auger... There's almost nothing in the auger. It's hardly working at all. Oh, TELL WID IT.
It's VERY Republican to attack the credibility of the witness, regardless of the factuality of the testimony. I'm confident to let my comments stand on their own merits, and the readers will judge the merits, not "name calling".
@@junkmail4613 I was an agricultural mechanic for 15 yrs and worked for John Deer and New Holland and Kubota and had a mechanic repaire road service business for a few years. What you say about ramming the snow onto a snowblower will only result in damage to the equipment.
Nothing should be done "To the extreme." A bit of common sense can go a long way, but sissy, babying the equipment would likely have it last forever, and it will have to to get the damn job done! because that operator, has had the Be-Jesus scared him silly. He really needs to have someone with some real experience at optimizing equipment capabilities teach him what the equipment can actually do, and obviously you're not the one to do it. Obviously you don't optimize equipment to make it work fast, you just want the equipment to "Have-A-Nice-Day" Ya Make-Me-Sick.
There's a product called a SHAKER HOSE it will empty a 5 gallon can fast and you don't have to stand there and hold up 5 gallons or 35 lbs will empty 5 gallon can faster then you can pour
How big of hole do you have to pour it down? Oh I looked those up. Nice siphon hoses. But my tractor has a low fuel tank and no where to sit a diesel can up high enough to siphon from.
@@markwholbrook I just ordered my grand l3560 cab model with front 64” blower and rear 72” box grader , there are a couple of long hills on my road but I don’t think it would be too much of a problem without chains
You are correct. I read in my manual to let it warm up 10 minutes if it is near zero out. I'll do what your recommend from now on. Thanks for watching.
Flying Bob, I think alot of us would like you to tell us how to change the timing on a diesel. Jd, case-IH and Kubota,too, and what to say when it voids the warranty.
Thanks for the tip. I've been looking for one but haven't found a cheap enough one. I went through a lot of diesel this snow year so it would have been nice that's for sure. Thanks for watching!.
I'm curious Mark, I read through all the comments so I apologize if I missed it somewhere. I saw the cord still laying under the tractor, do you unplug the block heater before starting? It appeared that it might still be plugged, if so, it is a much better practice to unplug it before starting the engine or you will eventually burn out the heat element prematurely. Good videos by the way.
Thanks for watching. I usually don't even plug mine in unless it is close to 0 degrees F. I haven't driven off with it connected but will unplug it before I start it from now on. Good ideas from viewers help me a lot.
@@markwholbrook No worries unless your electrical installation was done by someone who knew nothing about electricity and how to wire a building with circuit breakers and wire size. If a short occurs or too high a resistance, the breaker will trip and cut off the power.
@@markwholbrook In my years experience as a agricultural mechanic i have seen many an extension cord wrapped around the auger of snowblowers. It does nothing damage wise but does scrap the cord.I have done it myself while clearing a neighbours driveway and seeing a snake (extension cord)come into the snowblower, its a bitch to cut up to remove.
This video was shot a year ago and since then I've insulated my shop!! I'll have to show it off in one of my newer videos soon. Thanks for watching! Edit: Just looked at one of my videos and you can see the plywood up in my shop now. There is 2" of closed cell foam under the plywood! ua-cam.com/video/QwsMtp0VZPU/v-deo.html
I had a gas tractor before this one. I put yellow quicker spouts on the diesel cans so I don't get confused with the one red one I use for gas. I couldn't afford to get new yellow ones until these die from old age. Hopefully they will last until my tractor is payed off. Thanks for watching/
Good point. Just waiting for my red cans to die but the new spouts gave them extra life. I'll be sure and make sure the labels stay on there. But yellow cans would be safer.
Mark Holbrook good plan! Thanks for the positive reply. Good to see adults are still out there and not immediately defensive and attacking anyone that says anything. Also, living in the land of little to no snow I’m so jealous.
@@jarrodcavanaugh6735 Thanks. I'm open to good ideas and appreciate any that come along. Snow is fun until about March and then I get a little sick of it. Hope to have some better videos out there soon.
Why buy a 40g snow blower. Dude that is such over kill for that tiny plot. A Bx would have done just fine for that little lot of yours. That grand l is for 30 plus acres to be honest. I hope your using something like STANADYNE and a antigel in the diesel....
Because I blow out about 10 big driveways per snowfall. I'd have a lot smaller tractor if I just did mine. I need a bigger tractor for what I do. And I do use anti-gel in my tractor but it lives in an insulated shed so it starts out a little warmer than the outside temps. For example of why I need a bigger tractor go watch video number 22
"Cold start" videos are not a thing. Any time an engine had not been running for more than an hour, it's cold. Thre's nothing special about starting an engine.
@@greengolftee87 ,When I first read your reply, I almost got sarcastic and nasty, but then had second thoughts. I'm going to say this though. I am 70 years old, a military vet and a retired firefighter. While it is true that I am gay, your last sentence was uncalled for. Therefore, I'm going to do what you didn't, and ask for a little respect by deleting that sentence.
Maybe I can add some clarity here. The cold start he is referring to is when the temperature outside is cold and your machine hasn’t been plugged in or running for an extended period of time (at least 12 hrs). Just because an engine hasn’t been running for an hour isn’t considered a cold start it’s referred to as starting your engine, there’s nothing cold about it just because it hasn’t been running for an hour; it’s not at operating temps but not cold. The colder the outside temp gets the harder it is to start your engine unassisted (plugged in, heater or ether). Yes, cold start videos are a thing on you tube, guys showing how cold they can cold start there machines unassisted. The colder you can start your machine unassisted the more special and impressive it is so it becomes something of a brag factor. So in review you are wrong about everything you said ; cold start vids are a thing, it’s not cold when it hasn’t run for an hour and it is special cold starting a machine unassisted ( the colder the more impressive).
Hell of a setup! Looks like a beautiful piece of property & home... Also must note the disc golf basket in the yard, best part of the video! 👍
Thanks a lot. My youngest son was a great disk golf player. He is off in college now but was just home using it over Thanksgiving. More snow videos in the next couple days as we are getting snow early this year.

Good morning Mark. Handy gas can spout for sure - no spill. :)) Tractor works great and nice views. Good video - thanks for posting. Cheers!
Thank you again. New gas cans are a pain for sure. The kits you can buy can fix them.
You should try a transfer pump. 2 D size battery's. Think it's 3 gpm.
If my gas tank was filled from the top of the hood I might be tempted but it is low enough to lift the cans up until I get too old to do that!!! Thanks for watching my videos.
You have an awesome snow removal setup and very beautiful house and property!

are tire chains a must?
They are for me but you milage may vary depending on how steep it is where you blow

@@haus05 very cool
I would warm the tractor up before shoveling the snow away so when you do go to blow snow you're not working with a cold engine
You are correct. I read in my manual to let it warm up 10 minutes if it is near zero out. I'll do what your recommend from now on. Thanks for watching.

I don't know how to do that. Not much of a diesel mechanic here.
Why would you want to change the timing on a diesel engin? Don't confuse diesel with gas engin they work totally differently.
You need a diesel fuel tank with a transfer pump instead of running to town all the time to fill cans.
Thanks for the tip. I've been looking for one but haven't found a cheap enough one. I went through a lot of diesel this snow year so it would have been nice that's for sure. Thanks for watching!.
Kubota is where it's at JD is good but the gator can't hold a candle to the rtv. And the reliability and servicability is without match.
Good to hear. I love my Kubota but I used to run old JD's on a farm I worked on in the late 70's. They were very nice tractors back then.
@@markwholbrook They still are now,plus Deere keeps parts in stock for their tractors,Kubota takes 10 to 14 days.
I did the same thing and they work great
Cool glad it worked foryou
6.20 for the Action guys ! sweeeeet tractor makes easy work . cool video stay warm dude !
Thanks. More snow overnight here but not enough to blow yet for this years videos.
Plugging it in is not a cold start. That is a pre-heated start.
I guess you are correct
Is that shaft or hydraulic driven, I can't tell from here. If it's hydraulic how much flow is required
It is pto driven. The grand l tractors come with a mid pto. They don't have enough flow to drive a hydraulic blower. Thanks for watching my videos!!!

Tell how would you burn out the heating element in the preston's by starting or even running your engin while plugged in?
I'm not worried about burning it out, I'm worried about driving off with the power still connected. At 62 my mind isn't what it used to be!!

Love the red diesel cans.
I had a gas tractor before this one. I put yellow quicker spouts on the diesel cans so I don't get confused with the one red one I use for gas. I couldn't afford to get new yellow ones until these die from old age. Hopefully they will last until my tractor is payed off. Thanks for watching/
@@markwholbrook Just heckling...
@@timberray9572 No problem. I can take the jokes!!
Needs to invest in yellow cans. Sharpie wears off and pouring that diesel in something that runs on gasoline could be disastrous.
Good point. Just waiting for my red cans to die but the new spouts gave them extra life. I'll be sure and make sure the labels stay on there. But yellow cans would be safer.

Dude you should had it warming up while you were shovelling !

It’s his money and he can do anything or buy anything he wants with it. He doesn’t have to justify his purchase to you.
Change the timing on your engine, it will start better, be more quiet and gain 1 or 2 hp.
I'm not sure how to even do that?!?!? But my tractor starts pretty easy even in cold temps.
