Will all you losers stop criticizing this young man. Well done young man I been running 992 loaders in oil sands for years your videos are great
Best advice I have for plowing is: Just do it. You're never gonna learn the best way to use your plow or the fastest way to clear a site if you haven't done it before. Practice makes perfect.
Honestly the most important thing on a loader when plowing snow is good snow tiers such as the maxam snow xtra or any waffle pattern tiers!
Wow you sure can get large parking lots done fast with the wheel loader! Thanks for taking us for the ride with you! Very interesting!
Thanks for watching!
I love blizzards when the roads are at a standstill and the highways are blocked and your clients want to know why the lots have snow on them... lol
im using a front loader also on my 2nd season i love that job mine is a reg 12ft push blade with solid wings... i do a few parking like this with a few lawn island. great video...
i love doing the roads also but mostly doing parking unless its a major storm and the others need help clearing road for emergency access
Nice video, Work and nice to see that you are using a similar plow on the other side of the Atlantic as we do here on Northen Sweden. But you should have had a Svab or Engcon joystick like in the excavator also in the wheel loader so you can move the blade freely just when you want.
And good that you talked about learning your plow district and equipment.
That's one of the reasons
why I often wait until January / February before I start filming the snow removal :) the first snow comes here in November and we still have snow :)
Great talk and Have a Grate day :)
Thanks for watching!
it takes me an hour to do my driveway... about 15-20 foot wide, and 300-400 feet long which is curved and on a steep slope. granted, i got a 47 inch snow-blower on my 1026r John Deere, so its bound to take more time. i do like however that i can go through really deep snow with it, even if it takes longer with a small machine like this, its all that woudl fit in my garage haha (car goes outside LOL) i also do my neighbors business lot when the regular plow guy doesn't come, but i have a nice gorge i can blow snow into that goes down about 20 or so feet. so i never loose out on places to put snow hehe. i love to watch these types of videos, its so much fun, and always learning too.
Sweet set up wish I had 1 been plowing 8 years just got a 18 f250 w Fisher 9 foot hd2 hope my next piece of equipment is one of these just a little smaller nice work. I'm in northern NH
I could use one as well, me being one man show , no place to store. It helps also to be able use it yr round. I hv 2 western wideouts work great most of the time until a snow storm. Loader would be better to carry more and stack higher.
fantastic advice! I wish my company would buy me a plow for my loader. All I have to plow tho is my 10 acre business yard which is mostly gravel and sand as I run a concrete batch plant. I just use my bucket and give in a little more aggressive angle to scrape the snow but not the gravel and sand underneath it. I am trying to convince them to buy me one anyways and contract me out to some businesses in the area to make more money for me and for the company
That loader with the pusher is the balls !
You should be looking at getting a shortstick steering on your left hand. Kinda like you can get in a Volvo. After many years opperating a wheelloader your shoulder will go out
I am a firm believer that those people who design parking lots with all of those medians and islands must all live in areas that get no snow. Bloody obstacle course. I've often wondered why in shopping malls and outlet mall complexes why the snow gets stacked in huge piles in the middle of the lot taking up valuable parking spaces. Heaven forbid you push the snow to the back of the lot furthest away from buildings to make it easier for more cars to park.
haha I totally agree! All the designers must be in Florida
Medians & islands stop tractor trailers from busting up the lot by parking to sleep when too late to get a spot in a rest area, or truck stop, pavement there is sometimes not as thick as the shipping area. Retired now but manny a time slept in malls, Walmart (who now chases out trucks using their lots as truck stops) to bad, use to by supplies, food and replacement clothes that got ruined. After 27 years I spent a lot of money in their stores makes you wonder. 🤔
Do you charge per hour or a flat rate price per push? Or per inches? I’m just curious you get things done so fast with the big machine but it seems like you would have to charge a lot.
more longer plowing videos
Depending on how your contract is piling snow on an incline can be beneficial with the salting it's hard to give advice because everylot is different every contract is different, school boards ect. here In Ottawa people just come in underbids eachother and don't end up doing the job and it fucks over the people that actually do good work. And then the customer wonders why nothing is getting done.
I plow in Ottawa aswel and thats exactly it haha sometimes what will happen is the company that did a crappy job will get the boot and another will come in and have to fix their poor job haha
I plow with a Cat 938H and a 19' MetalPless live edge box pusher
I do very large parking lots for Grocery Stores
I generally do the entrances for each section last just to keep cars away from my work area
Because for some reason people like to drive close to a snow plow in a parking lot ?
Cheers
How big is the lot? / how big is the loader? How big is the push box? / how much time per acre you think you get with the metal pless for a little 1-2 inch snow fall?
The car ruts are hell on the bladder
i do plow the snow off the harbour area im working on. I freakin love this stuff. But the tools im working with could be like 10x better to be able to do it faster...Also there is traffic there 24/7
May i ask you how much does cost diesel by hour C.A.T?
By the way you work very good!
Did u get hammered w snow last weekend? Weather called for 7 inches got 16 of heavy stuff can't complain though another great winter well over 120 inches started in October still going hopefully we get a few more good storms
No we didnt get any snow last weekend
THAT METAL PLESS WITH LOADER IS THE ONLY WAY TO PLOW ALOT
Are we going to get a new plowing video with storm that just hit?
have you had to replace the cutting edge yet? how long has it lasted ? how much is the new edge?
thanks for video
What is a wind row?
Imagine a pickup truck with say a 9 foot plow vs your plow on the same lot 🤣
lol. It would take all day!
Do u have any experience w metal pless plows for pickup trucks
No I dont, just on loaders
We use a 14 foot box with trip edges. What set up do you have on the front of that?
He has a Metal Pless MaxxPro 1248-24. 12' main blade, 6' wings each side and 4' tall.
What bwillan said
my biggest concern operating such a huge powerful machine, was not to wreck and destroy all the invisible road (stone)edges covered with snow, duh!
First 👌🏼
Picture for the video a little deceiving?
Lol the audio sounds cheap
