- My house is ground zero for a blizzard with 75 mph winds, 6 feet of snow, the blizzard will put me, the Bobcat T66 Track Loader Snow Blower to the test. The chute kept getting clogged when I got to the street...some of this was the wind and operator error. Please checkout my book, "Mind Kill, Rise of The Marauder at Amazon and Kindle. Please stay safe during this storm happy holidays.
This setup was always the perfect machine for your neck of the woods. Was never overkill. Absolute perfection! Thank you for all the time you spent making this video in the most inhospitable conditions imaginable. This is truly the footage so many here wanted to see. You and this beautiful monster kicking mother nature's butt!! 💪💪
OMG you made my day i can't thank you enough. I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Happy New Year
WOW that is one impressive piece of machinery! You are SO very kind to help a neighbor or two out. Bless you!
Thank you Susan I'm surrounded by kind people like you. Be safe.
@@maraudermitchelli, I know it’s nuts for a woman to appreciate big equipment, but I do! Wish I had all of them!
If possible, I’d be like the little ole retired men who would bring their lawn chairs out and spend the day watching, why the city repaved the road. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What an incredible piece of equipment for the task! Very nice of you to help your fellow neighbors out!! GOD BLESS and stay safe!!
Helping my neighbors out will be the next video thank you Happy New Years
Suggestion : Once you’ve made your initial pass , you might want to limit your following passes to 3/4 of a full pass , yeah it’ll take you a little longer but you might be able to avoid some of the clogs & near misses !
I agree...I have to remember that and I'm serious thank you. Happy New Years.
We do what we call a "skip pass" with heavy snow like this. If you make the initial pass, the next pass you leave roughly 2/3rds of a row uncut. Then next pass you move that 2/3rds that's remaining... goes really fast and you don't leave a wind row on either side. Just a technique from Colorado.
Also, if you see the material loading up in front of the box, just means you need to slow down a little bit.
Great content !!
Looks like he was doing better just plowing.
Yeah but the way he's doing it, the bobcat snow thrower doubles as a plow!
It doesn’t take longer to leave the 1/4 of either a plow or blower because you aren’t getting the spill over on the side so no need to go back and do final clean, plus in heavy snow you can actually move a bit quicker. No brainer.
This is what those of us in the snow deprived South have been waiting for. Thanks for a great video, Peter!
I love to hear that Aaron...although I don't wish for snow I don't have a say what so ever. Happy New Year keep commenting
For all those in snow country from another snow country veteran. Get a bottle of 100% silicone and spray your snow blower and shoot or whatever other equipment you are using to move snow including your scoop. Water ie Snow and Silicone do not stick to each other and it will go a long way to prevent your clogging trouble. With this level of snow simply spray it all down before each use. Blessings and thanks for your work making a nice video.
Thank you I explain in the Blizzard Christmas Day video that's what I did.
✔️This Gentleman really impresses me.!!! We so need more like him.!!! ®️
Well Randy you made my day as I was feeling down this morning. Thank you so much and be safe.
@@maraudermitchelli ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
love that you were worried about the camera blowing over then proceed to blow snow at it - brilliant setup for that shot!!!!!
lol I know I still can't believe any of this video worked. Thank you be safe.
"Where does he get those wonderful toys"
Joker
His wife asked the same questions...the toys just show up. :)
The perfect year to have a new toy like that!
I didn't see this coming...but have to agree. Happy New Year
Been blowing and plowing snow in western New York (near Buffalo) for over 50 years. One suggestion..slow down on your first pass to allow blower to keep itself clear. You don’t want the snow coming over the top of the blower housing and spilling out the sides. Then on subsequent passes do a 3/4 pass.
Thank you are right. I appreciate your help.
This guy doesn't play around! 🙀 WOWWWW!!! FREAKIN AWESOME! ✌️🇺🇲👏💯
Thank Osita Happy New Years
I'm appreciating your efforts to record this - I love the cold & snow and am feeling mighty disappointed with our winter!
Looking forward to seeing more, take care...
Dave strange winter Dave...just so strange.
Well sir, I see there are still some naysayers regarding this machine and it's blowing capability. I say to them, this isn't a normal snowfall, this kind of snow and the depth of it is going to challenge even the best machines. Nice job, my heart goes out to all of you affected by this storm, looking forward to the next video.
ECA you are awesome...34 dead this is the worst storm of my life and I remember the blizzard of 1977. I hope you are doing well Happy New Years from my little property
You should slow down a little. Give your machine time to throw the snow so it doesn't push it. Or take 1/2 or 3/4 plow width so your machine can keep up with the snow that it's taking in. You shouldn't blow the snow into the wind. Blow with the wind and the snow will go farther and not on your windshield. If you have to blow into the wind put your shute down low so less snow gets caught by the wind. There for cutting down on the snow on the windshield. If your shute clogs your probably going to fast and the machine can't keep up with the amount of snow it has to move. Otherwise that's a really nice machine and it does a great job. I wish I had a nice newer machine like that for my snow removal jobs. I have an older one with an open cab from the 90"s. It works good but it gets dam cold with the open cab. But it's still better than a shovel.
I agree with you but in this storm chute direction and angle just did not work. Changing deflection on the chute clogged the shoot. The wind direction kept changing, and no choice in direction in front of garages. I do agree with taking smaller bites definitely. Thank you for helping happy new years.
Totally agree with this comment…he’s going to fast for such deep snow. I use my Fendt 828 with a Schulte RDX front PTO blower at 5x the HP the bobcat CTL has, I would be going half that speed.
Always a couple internet experts that need to add their $0.02🤦🏽♂️
@@redstone5149 too funny but sometimes they’re right 😊
@@maraudermitchelli your doing a fine job
What a machine! I enjoyed your previous John Deere tractor snow videos, but this Skid Steer is on another level. Enjoy, and thanks for posting the well done video.
Kubota…I love that name. Thank you for commenting please continue. Happy new years
Glad to see your safe, dangerous storm that one is, that machine is a beast Peter, the RPM barely draws down on it.
Brent you're very observant, thank you Happy New Years
Hello, new to your channel, love your video, We live in Lake Tahoe. Last year we had a record winter with over 600 inches of snow. I bought a Bobcat S220,high flow with a 84 inch Bobcat blower in 04, as we have a 620 foot drive and a large pullout onto a busy highway, half of the driveway has a 7% slope. It’s a life saver for sure. On a 2 foot snow fall it usually takes maybe 45 minutes. In 19 years, with regular service I have rarely had an issue. I agree with others about slow running and after 1st pass take half a bite. The only time I’ve had a clog is with heavy wet snow. I usually clear road when I have 2 to 3 feet, last year we had a 10 day run with over 10 feet. I will probably post this year, my granddaughter taught me how.😂 hears hoping for a good year. No snow yet. Bob Go 9ers
Bob thank you for joining the channel. Boy you Bobcat clears a lot of snow that’s impressive. Last year we had 133” nothing compared to Tahoe. This year I have to remember to take smaller bites…tough remembering as I age be sure to remind me. Please comment and be safe you live in a beautiful area 🙂
This is the best neighbor to have. A wonderful man.
thank you
That thing is so awesome!! It eats that snow up like nothing and gets it far from the driveway and then you wont get great big piles everywhere too. Super nice
Agreed Steve it places the snow...kind of. Happy New Years
whoever said that Bobcat T66 was overkill for home use must now eat their words. Hey wait a minute. YOU said it too! Well, enjoy your meal! CHOMP CHOMP!
You are awesome you called it right...lol super cool thanks for sticking up for the T66 I remember your comment. You called it! I wasn't expecting to have a storm like this to hit the doubters and I. Take care buddy have a happy New Years.
Glad you like the bobcat there built in Statesville NC by great people
They must be great people making a great machine. Happy new year be safe.
Yeah that setup you have sure does move the snow. Love those blowers. Had one one a JD325. That was great and saved a lot of areas from being little mountains of snow all over.
I love your name. I agree she's done a great job this year. Thank you and be safe
If someone lives in an area that gets lots of snow and needs to move it, the Bobcat T66 with a snow blower is the answer. Great video!
Agreed Russel I'm learning how to use a great machine. Happy New Years thank you for supporting my channel.
Back in the day...1960s...Southerntier of New York State...my dad had a construction business.
Whenever a blizzard came through, he would head out with the front end scoop tractor early in the morning to assist our neighbors with clearing their properties.
He would return in the evening....after being gone all day.
He never charged anyone.
But, over the next ten days or so the checks would come rolling in!
Ithaca I love that comment...it's classic memory of both our childhoods. Thank you for that. Happy New Years
Clearing your driveway with that magnificent machine is awesome BUT WHEN THE ROADS ARE IMPASSABLE leaving you stuck in your house……
damn thats cool bobcat, perfect job for heavy winter, heating etc, very cool
Thank you
I think you win the prize for the most awesome toys, I mean “equipment”. You know what they say, “The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys”. I love that Bobcat skid steer. They have attachments for everything. Keep up the videos.
I agree with...thank you. Happy New Years
A bobcat was needed for sure for that amount of snow. During tbe video I though about how long it would have taken me, with only an atv with a snow plow and a walk behind belted snow blower, to clear up that much snow. I came to the conclusion that it would not be a matter of hours, but how many days, if it were possible at all. I will be clearing away some snow later today, but only small amounts as it has been mild weather in my part of Norway the last days, and a bit of snow during last night. And because I have been diligent with removing snow earlier the small amount of snow that has fallen during the night should not be much of a problem. And now it is actually quite nice weather. Not windy, but clear, cold and sunny. I hope the weather has improved in your area as well by now.
Jens i think you are right, if someone is diligent and clears snow every hour or two it is possible. The problem is we have wives and others, news weather people not to go out due to hazards of weather and our age. Last week someone we know died shoveling their driveway before the storm. Great comment I agree with you. I'm interested in motorsports and my equipment is part of that...I wanted to be self reliant for the last 35 years...especially in emergencies. Happy New Year thank you.
Thats not 6 ft. a foot at the most
@@breadfan9 I think what he means is over the duration of the storm they got 6ft....but he was going out and blowing the snow ❄️ before it accumulated too much every so many hours
Sweet looking machine. I would love to have one myself. Would be perfect for snowblowing my long driveway
BB she did well this storm...what a mess. Take care be safe.
We went to Amazon ,found your book and my wife zona said I'm going to read that,I'd much rather watch you blow snow ,thanks for the videos.
Awesome! Thank you! I believe it is an interesting story. characters are largely based on my family and my alter ego...which could be you. I hope you enjoy. you made my day
Man, you don't mess around when it comes to removing snow! Ran one for over 30 years but didn't have the blower attachment.
Thank D it was put to the test during this storm. Thank you for watch be safe. You know more about this machine than I.
Looks like a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
I laugh every time I read your comment…so true and very funny 🙂be safe
Thanks for sharing ! God bless you! JESUS SAVES!
Greg God Bless you and I agree Jesus Saves...praise the lord. Happy New Years
IMPRESSIVE machine Pete, I'm sure it helps with 20 more HP in your toolbox and hiflow hydraulics, the right weapon of choice for this kind of weather system. I always feel privileged that I can own a piece of equipment that makes me so self reliant and also being able to help others when needed. So sad about the 37+ unfortunate souls that perished in this meteorological event. Stay safe Pete, and you're a model neighbor we need more of in the US of A. -Ronny-
Definitely agree with you. Self reliant is the key in this storm so many we held hostage by the snow. Very sad I'm glad to be on the other side of this storm.
You are living my dream wish I could be out there.
LOL I don't know that I thought it was a dream at the time but it was pretty good. Be safe.
This also works great in your vehicles when you're only dealing with snow. And when stopping for food or whatever on a trip, about 1 mile from where you'll stop, switched off your heat and let cold air enter and the windshield will quickly get cold and snow can be easily brushed off when you leave.
Interesting Denis I may try that thank you
Good Lord, I feel for ya. I'm in SE Texas & it's 78°f from X-Mas into Jan. 7th. 2023. I love snow but can't live in it, lol
If it even flurries down here, they shut everything down. Like schools, work, etc. 🥶
I know Mike...but the big state is great. I hope you're enjoying that Big Country stay warm.
Whoa, that beast just clears the garage top and sides. Super nice machine
Justin thank you, she's a beast...the operate needs more training but the machine is great Happy New Year
Fabulous UA-cam video.. 😁👍
Thank you Mike...thank you
Love the American flag on the back of the Bobcat!!!
Thank you so do I. I can't believe someone criticized my for flying the flag...I just don't know. Be safe thank you
Perfect example of much more money than brains. Am I the only person screaming at the TV saying to turn your chute down, slow down, only use half the width of the blower and finally, YOU’RE BLOWING IT THE WRONG DIRECTION 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Jeff I explain this in the Christmas Day video. But I will do a recap on the blizzard videos separately
Nobody has more fun in this neighborhood than Peter
lol...no doubt...no doubt...please don't tell my wife although her and the kids already know. happy new years
I'm from the Alden area and that machine would've been handy here also. Nice job and thank you for sharing 🥶
Alden is pretty, thank you and Happy New Years.
Your Bobcat is a real brute. I can't imagine what you folks must be going through over there near the lakes. What do you think the spring melt will bring for your area? Stay safe and see you on the trail. P.S. I love the American flag! Take care Peter.
Jerry by this weekend it’s supposed to be above 50’ so most of this snow should melt by then…oh boy we’ll see. I hope it’s not a flooding mess. Fly the flag of our fathers right, I love when farmers put it on their tractors. Stay safe my friend 😊
Really enjoyed this. Much better than the movies they are putting out now!
Susan that's a special compliment thank you. Be safe and thank you for taking your valuable time to support my channel.
What a fantastic set up just love it.
Omg Simon where have you been. I was worried about you😊 I was concerned you were I’ll. I hope your big JDs are great and the weather is warm in England 😉 miss you and I hope you are good health. Please check in when you can happy new year and thank you for the compliment
To solve the problem with snow melting then freezing on your windshield, just prevent the warm air flow to directly hit the windshield, it should swirl within that area but without heating up the windshield as the air movement will still keep the windshield clear and this will allow the outside cold air to prevent the windshield from icing up and the snow will just fall off or be easily pushed aside.
Denis you have another interesting suggestion thank you
I use heated wiper blades in my tool cat works perfectly
I LOVE THAT MACHINE!❤
That's awesome she's a beast. Be safe thank you
Yeah your right Pete ! Your 3046R would have struggled with that much snow !!
You chose a great machine there !!
Like you said it must have 100 HP diesel or more !
And with the skid loader if the snow is higher than the snowblower you can just lift the whole snowblower UP and start at the top go into the pile a few feet and back up and lower it down taking out the rest !!
6 FEET NO PROBLEM !!
WOW !! Is all I can say !!
Your neighbor wasn’t messing around either !!
A huge Escavating front end loader DAM !!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Years !
Home run your comment is...I'm learning to do just that. I wish I could say I was this confident when I first purchased the loader...but i wasn't. It's been a learning process. Thank you Curt happy new years keep commenting.
JD 333G with a 🌨️ blower 🌨️ would ♥️ a storm like this!
Oh yah go for it. i hope you get some snow. Be safe thank you
@@maraudermitchelli you have Avery nice machine set up; did a good job. Didn't you have a JD 3000 series with a blower before? No snow yet here in Massachusetts. My JD x595 is at the dealers; driveshafts, battery, tire tubes for front tires, tune up, transmission filter & oil, drop mower deck & put on blower,,,,,,,,Never Ends!
I'm sure you're a little tired of all of the snow, but, it's awesome. Wish we'd get some of that here in Chicagoland.....
Glad to see you’re enjoying your new purchase!
Thank you, Happy New Years
I recall my dad spraying cooking oil on his WheelHorse garden tractor’s snow thrower and v blade
PAM is the winner in the comments
Although expensive setup a lifesaver at that great machine
Thank you
Macho man with a heavy duty machine/tool! The dude!
In my dreams I wish I was macho...but it's good to dream. Power on full throttle little buddy.
@@maraudermitchelli You “is” the envy of all men who must demonstrate to their households of conquering the snow storm downpour. You will remain in the history book as the dude that conquered the mountain of snow around the house. The stud!
Ah man, I wish we had some snow like you guys, here in Eastern Canada, the grass is still green. Let it snow so I can play with the JD.
Happy New Year to you.
⛄☃❄🌨🏔🏂
We love Canada I hope you get snow and enjoy your JD. Happy New Years
Hahaha...we got your snow JD322 and it was great. Took the snow blower out and put all that snow into the field. Then I drove through the field and blew it back onto the road...lol...then I drove down the road....You probably know what happened next. Cheers from Saskatchewan.
Gosh, if only there was a way to make the planet warmer.
This guy has it made in the shade with his eqiuipment!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍❄❄❄❄.....
Cynthia please my wife thinks is work...no she doesn't she's smarter than that. Happy New Years.
H Peter, another great Video from you.
We have just 13 degrees plus here n Germay. For saturday the weather report reported 18 degreees plus.
Stay healthy an a happy new yeart to you and your family
Markus thank you. I thought Berlin had weather similar to Buffalo New York USA. When I was a child after the Buffalo Blizzard of 1977 German set blankets to our city...I'll never forget that my mother read it to me. If your temps are Fahrenheit that's cold. Stay warm Happy New Years.
Way more maneuverable than the 3046r too. More weight and more horsepower never hurt either. You guys got hit about a day after we did here in Minnesota. Heated wiper blades for both pieces of equipment would come in handy this time of year too. Wouldn't they? Stay warm and Blessed New Year
Patrick you have a Happy New Years also.
Great Machine ! On top of its Job.
Like a Boss
I love that, "Like a Boss" I may use that as a title. Be safe thank you for the positive comment.
Wow. Now, THAT'S a machine. Amazing. I guess this puts my little Ariens snow blower to shame that I bought last month, huh? LOL. Born and raised in Buffalo, now in Cleveland so I only watched that incredible storm from afar.
D an Ariens is a great machine I have many storms behind a walk behind blower. Clevelands a nice city I have projects there from time to time. Happy New Years
@@maraudermitchelli You TOO my friend. LOVING your property and awesome machine. Stay safe, God bless you, Happy New Year and GO BILLS.
This is an award winning video! 👏
Kaye that's my greatest compliment thank you...thank you. It makes my day when people appreciate the videos. Happy New Years.
I want that snow Panzer!!!
That’s what I call a perfect white Christmas!🥶❄️☃️🎅🏻🎄

Samuel i have no idea what you wrote...but thank you and Happy New Year God Bless you
Nice job ur doing with that mach
James it's awesome to receive positive comments. Thank you be safe
Sorry to say , but I am a tractor guy and living in northern Ontario < also worked doing snow removal in town , mostly condos (large parking lots) All the guys are switching to tractors and only using bobcats for tight small areas. the tractors blowers almost never plug up . pto vs hydraulics on turning things not lifting is no competition . Also you say it dose not bog down the motor at all but in every video I can see and hear that blower slowing down and it s actually pushing the snow not blowing it as you can see . maybe the motor for the bobcat is not bogging down but the motor from the hydraulics turning the blower sure are ! I have seen walk behind blowers with bigger shouts on them maybe its a design flow and it restricting the flow of snow going out . Sorry to be so negative but just what I see, its a great looking machine and great video and videos .
Your points are very good, yes the engine does not slow down...but I agree the hydro auger and impeller may. No worries good comment. I'll do a recap video.
I have a walk behind snowblower. Lots of power! When my brother Darrell runs it and I stand infront of the snowchute it will blow my cap clean off my head with the snow!!
Captain power to you some walk behinds are just amazing as are the operators. Keep that machine puffing have a great day be safe.
Man,that looks fun! Take me awhile with my 21in. Toro😂
RMS I know people that did it with walk behind blower...they were out every 2 blowing snow...not fun but they did it. Thank you for taking your time to comment. Be safe
What! No drone shots! How disappointing.... LOL Nice Job, looking forward to the next video ! I didn't even attempt to clear any snow over here on Strickler until Christmas day after the wind stopped, that wind driven snow was no joke!
Lol too funny…viewers prefer the tripod shot they told me. Smart move waiting you got hit hard. Happy new years 😊
That blower is like an infant you can’t feed fast enough, need twin discharges then it would be a total monster !
You could be right Chuck...maybe. Happy new year and be safe.
Great video. What a beast of a machine
Thank you Jay
When I run in similar conditions, I use the best aspect of a front loader mounted blower, and that is raise it up, and eat chunks working top down. It might take a little longer, but I've never had my 262 Cat stall out or plug. Less stress on machine. But this stuff is hard to move no matter what when using hi flow vs PTO. Love the vids. Still thinking toolcat for you...😉
You'll that I do that in my neighborhood hero video coming soon. Happy New Years.
While you’re still healthy and making money you should build yourself a pole barn to put all your vehicles in if we have a nice clean free driveway
Pat good comment. I can't build a pole barn in my neighborhood but i do have a garage drawn...very expensive but we'll see.
Your house is lovely!!
Thank you Judy, there's so many nasty comments, it's awesome to have a comment that is kind. Happy New Years
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers
Dan I have great subscribers...thank you Happy New years
That's a beautiful bobcat-blower set up. You should have let it chew the nose of that terrible looking new BMW. Think "Fargo". What were the designers thinking.....the BMW ones, not the bobcat ones.
Fargo is a great movie...I don't remember a snowblower chewing up a car but it does sound familiar. I know longer have that BMW although it was a great car. Thank you for commenting. BTW I watched the end of Fargo a couple of weeks ago...just awesome I think it's based on a true story. Be safe.
Thats one epic machine to have :D
Thank you Happy New Years
great machine i liked the john deere but this is a awsome machine greetings from the netherlands
Dutch thank you, she proved herself this day...more to come she will be the neighborhood hero soon. Happy New Year God bless you and the Netherlands.
Your lucky, senior apts. Snow shovels only Maintenance couldn't come in
Mike I am thank you.
I kinda wish we would've gotten a foot or two of that in Wisconsin, we only got like 1.5 inches and some bitter cold wind. I got a new snowblower two years ago and only used it 3 times. At least you got to use your toy, which is admittedly much cooler than mine.
Walk behinds are cool believe me they are life savers. Happy New Years.
I miss those lake snows and big storms since I’ve moved from WNY to Virginia…every time I see videos on the news, I wanna be up there. I miss it!
Awesome machine!
Also I have a suggestion. If you are gonna be out near the road, you may want to consider a green strobe. They are so much more visible in blowing snow than amber. Just check and see if there is some stupid law in NYS that permits it.
Virginia is beautiful country. Great suggestion, I have some Sheriff's vest I should keep in the machine. Happy New Years.
@@maraudermitchelli I grew up in the near Canandaigua Lake and miss that area!
Hunting, fishing, change of seasons, winter storms, snowmobiling, etc…so beautiful! hopefully one day I can make it back…even if it’s just for hunting seasons and a few snow storms🤞🏻
Alot of snow! What a job. Lol. Hope you have a great new year!
Happy New Year LM...it can only get better right.
Thats some wicked storm
4 days it kept me busy. Thank you for commenting.
Very good job a lot better than doing it by hand for sure
Thank you Tom, Happy New Years
Now that's a flex!
Thank you Happy New Years
That is a very nice setup. Shudder to think how much it costs.
Mike over the last 35 years I've traded machines up and this is the final purchase. It's not cheep but I put it to good use and it makes a little money also from my business.
Little tip to do with the blower is to leave it outside so its the same temp as outside so snow and stuff dont stick to it as bad iv went thru wet snow and all kinda stuff with mine and it never gets much snow stuck to it. I live where it snows alot and learned a warm blower is more of a pain than a cold one it might not look as nice as a fully dry one but it works better everytime i also clean off all the snow that gets on it and covers it up so its not buried in snow when i need it
Thank you RCman I agree after this video I've been leaving it outside to acclimate to the cold. Thank you for helping
@@maraudermitchelli ur welcome i noticed alot of snow getting stuck to it so figured id let u know for the future if u leave it outside just keep it covered up with a tarp or something so rain and stuff dont freez it up
I got about 2 feet of snow with 5 foot drifts in my neighborhood even the snow plows from the village I live in were struggling they had the highlift make a pass down the center then the big dump truck come by behind it and luckily I never lost power or heat at my house
Dave this was a bad storm, thank you for sharing glad you made it.
Every buffalo residential should have this vehicle come standard!
lol to funny Kenny...agreed let's make it happen. Happy New Years
No snow in Albany yet this year so I had to watch it again
Too funny...thank you for watching be safe Merry Christmas.
Hey Peter, you did amazing job. That’s an awful lot of snow. Great video enjoyed watching. Even with that machine it went through it, but it was tough for it, but I did a good job. I still think your other machine through the snow farther. Even at full throttle at the end of the driveway you were pushing the snow it wasn’t going into the blower like it was supposed to, but still it did great great video.👍
Dean there is no way my tractor blew the snow as far as the bobcat, nor could manage the snow as easily as the bobcat. In my next video you may see that better. I have 35 years of experience blowing snow in a JD 3 series tractor...great machine but the Bobcat is in a entirely different league. there is no loss of engine rpm when this is blowing snow...if it looks like it is struggling it's my error. This blower is a foot taller, and 15 inches wider. I will get better, this would have taken my JD twice as long to blow. I always look forward to your comments Happy New Year.
@@maraudermitchelli well, Peter, it is a powerful machine don’t get me wrong, but I still think there’s something messed up when you’re blowing the snow it seems like it’s still not going into the blower like it should if you look at your video towards the end of the driveway where you were snowblowing, you were pushing a lot of snow and it wasn’t going in the blower like it was supposed to. I’m just letting you know what I see. It’s a great machine but I still think somethings not right. I’ve been working on machines for a long time but anyways happy New Year’s to you and your family. Enjoy watching your video.
@@deanmoore420 I will Dean, are you a professional mechanic for a career? I'm a hack mechanic. Thank you for caring you are the best. ☺
@@maraudermitchelli yes I am and I know there is something wrong with your blower
@@deanmoore420 I agree, and the video shows the snow compacting near left and top left around the thrower opening inside the scoop. I'm sure the snow was sticky, but wondering if treatment of the scoop's inside surface would've yielded a better result. I'm totally sure it's a powerful machine capable of more than we actually saw... but it has to be fed. Snow was sticking to the auger shaft as well, reducing the amount of snow it could gather and feed into the thrower hole... which again was probably 30-35% blocked. Love the machine combo. Maybe try spraying so Pam non-stick cooking spray into it first. (LOL, JK!) Nice video.
Amazing what $80,000 can do with snow. 😮
Yes it is
Rule one when using a snow blower don’t stick your hands into the shoot no matter what use a stick, now that that is out of the way nice machine I want one. may I offer up a few tips, blow with the wind it will help keep snow from blowing back, and get some Pam cooking spray or fluid film and coat the blower inside will help with the sticking snow
Mike you keep commenting those rules as you are right. Today the gust kept changing directions, and when I'm blowing infront of the garage I am limited on where to blow the snow. When I blew snow Christmas day i sprayed the chute and blower with Silicon and it was a tremendous help...maybe I'll try pam. Happy New Years good rules and tips thank you
@@maraudermitchelli just don’t want to be watching a snow blower video and see red snow with meat chunks, a another rule if your interested is never ever trust a machine even if it’s new. I understand about the wind we didn’t get the amount of snow you did maybe a few inches but we did get the wind and oh boy did we get the cold -35 with the wind blowing 60-70. I do landscaping and snow removal for a livin and I have to tell everyone to keep hands and feet away from all spiny things, you would be surprised at how many people will stick their hands in the shoot when it running. We have a old 2 stage blower we keep on hand to show people what will happen if they get a hand, we take a rubber glove fill with red water put in a old winter glove and run it thru the blower it helps get the point a crossed but we still get some that think they can still do it and be careful.
@@mikeboring1293 all good Mike I agree with...how can I not. Thank you again.
Something you might like is heated windshield wipers and they make a heated windshield film that goes on the glass and will keep all that snow off of there with those two items you would have no problem
NM great suggestions will research both thank you. Happy New years keep commenting
Use the bobcat around the perimeter of your house too! We do that with our regular snowblower....
Yes …. So we can watch him cover his house windows and roof with snow. This absent minded guy has zero clue what he’s doing. Good thing is, as a family we are sitting around and watching his snow videos laughing harder than we were watching Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story movies
You lucky dog, I might get good snow, something close to a foot once every 5 years or so. Smaller machine, Deere 1025R and a JD snow blower. Nice machine, and I see someone already pointed out taking half of blower after the opening pass I call the keyway.
We got 24” and I pushed it with the 3520 bucket. Something to consider when the wind is blowing like that. Great video
Husker believe my I had my doubts...my 4N1 bucket is just off my driveway by my truck. First year using this machine and I wasn't sure what it was capable of. Thank you
