but, after watching the vid seems like you might have a flow issue with the hydraulics but if there's too much of a gap between the impeller and the housing it'll do the same! if not familiar with an impeller kit Google it, my blower hasn't clogged in the wettest of snow since I installed mine! impressive
a little tip about snowblowers, they need snow, if your trying to use it on anything short of well it varies for me my rule on my 36in walk behind is 2 inches for that big thing maybe three or or four, here's the trick instead of shooting off to the side shoot forward and build up the snow to allow it to properly clean itself out and once the snow is built up a bit turn the chute to the side for a bit then turn it back forward again, but like I said anything less than just a guess here three or four inches of moist dense snowball snow and like 6 inches of fluffy powder and there's not enough there to allow debris to float through and over all not enough to get the force behind it to throw.all the way to the side, if you have it turned to the side and it is just anemically making it past the side of the blower turn the chute straight.
GTL that was my thought looks like it’s intended for deeper snow. that is to raise the blade so it’s not picking up stones and stuff , and then mush through 3 foot deep drifts
It didn't even look like the snow was deep enough to get to where to gets sucked up and blowing out... I think it would move snow just fine in deeper snow
My thinking is that in 1 inch there is not enough snow to push it through the machine, therefore the snow just sits there and freezes. Whereas with more snow, say 2 feet there would be enough volume of snow to keep the feed up and push the snow through the machine not just sitting there freezing the auger/impeller. Then again that is just my thought, i live in australia and have never seen more that a couple inches of snow in my life
Thanks for sharing your family with us. Hope your able to spend as much time with the kids as you can. They grow up so fast. Our son is 18 and a freshman in college and our daughter is 21 and a jr in college. It seems like yesterday they were young like yours. Also thanks for showing your faith through actions and words. God Bless
These are the best . Please Bring us alone for more outtings. I also really enjoy your stories and the uplifting words you share. Blessings to you family. In PA it was 74 and sunny today I was happy the weather had lifted hope yours does as well soon.
Great video especially when everyone was in the kitchen together. I have a gift of understanding baby talk and around 21:45 when you were asking Sweetloaf what she had to say, she was just suggesting that you need to check your supply of LOCTITE in case if you needed to get more before the storm came. lol Thanks for sharing.
You have the same thoughts has me I feel the same way and when I was a young lad I loved the snow Dad said I would change as I got older I am now 63 and still love the snow your so right it brings back magical memories thank you for sharing your home and family with us and may the good LORD keep you all safe and healthy.
This channel used the be about homesteading, machinery, and self reliance, but now it is just a way for Cody to lord over us with his vast collection of Loctite. What a welcome change. I for one can handle it but for those that can’t, you need to grow up!
On the snowblower. I think you may have two problems going on there. First is low flow of fluid and the second is the relief valve is set at to low of pressure. The fan stopping indicates that as soon as there is a bit of back pressure the valve lets go. Get someone with hydraulic system experience to look at it. That power unit on the 3 PTH should have lots of power to run the blower.
A couple things came to mind while watching: 1)With blading, I have learned that you have to get behind the snow. This means planning ahead by placing sheds and equipment upstream of where you want to pile the snow. 2) Did you set the loader in float mode (full lever forward) or did you just bring it down to the ground? 3) What is the slip mechanism for the blower? 4) Math: haste makes waste. Thanks for the entertainment and the reminders of our numerous blessings!
I wanted to go snow plowing but you are making me hungry now! I can even smell everything cooking. You have a great spread and a great family. Thanks for all that you show. Sometimes I think you have taught groups of people before. Thanks.
As you started to plow I wondered what would happen if you picked up a pebble or a rock. The french toast looked yummy. Real butter, real maple syrup, it doesn't take a lot. Dee has beautiful eyes, you're truly blessed in her. Thanks for sharing.
Mr. & Mrs. Wranglerstar.....you have a great family, I'm always comforted and inspired when I watch the videos that include the whole family......I can see the love and care you have for each other in the way you speak to each other and enjoy being together. Also, thanks for saying & showing the blessing before your meal!
I'm not big on commenting but I don't know how else to reach you. I've only recently returned to Christ and I'll tell you straight up your talks after videos have given me so much strength. Keep up the good work.
Your Second Stage Impeller is rotating way to slow. My 550 PTO is on the Rear on the John Deere 1025 R the Mid mount PTO running the snow blower is 2000 RPM. That Second Stage will never move any amount of snow and will just freeze up every time.
All of your videos makes me learn something.Sometimes its about cutting trees, sometimes about repairing/diy and sometimes about the daily life of an American family.Thank you for shairing them with us, appreciate it.
I was expecting something similar to those snow plow trains. Bit of an anticlimax. Indeed, please show us again how it will deal with a larger amount of snow.
Lol... love the loctite! I watch your videos because I enjoy seeing what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. I also like your family’s personalities, ethics and perspectives. I don’t watch so that I can try to disprove your techniques or argue with everything you do. If those were my reactions to your videos, I simply wouldn’t watch them. I enjoy seeing what you’re up to, and the content you put out. Easy as that.
Thank you very much for all that you do. I always look forward to new videos from you. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into them. I especially loved this video. It was nice to have a small insight into your lives. God Bless.
I enjoyed the end of this video because I agree the snow brings the best out in some of us. Being thankful for what you have and the fact you did all the prep work and now is the time to relax and enjoy a little.
Thank you for sharing your family gathered in the kitchen for a loving breakfast. The very best time. Your comments at the end were just right to end this wonderful video.
AWWWW!! Your little Sweetloaf is....well.......just so SWEET!! What a cutie! What a lovely family you have, sir. Be proud! Keep doing what yer doing, and I look forward to the next installment!
Cody, I am confused, are you running your tractor motor a 540 rpm? Or are you running your tractor motor at the speed Yanmar recommends to produce 540 rpm on the PTO output?
no, 540 rpm is standard pto shaft speed since forever. all tractors with pto have the pto speed on the tach or a separate gauge. he is not running his tractor at 540rpm, probably close to 3000rpm
Thank you Everyone, I was asking Cody a simple question to verify, as a Farm Equipment Mechanic. I could hear his machine revving up to a higher RPM, but I always ask, to eliminate the simplest of errors. I lnoe that a standard PTO runs at 540 RPM, except for the 1000 RPM John Deere PTO. I know that you have to Rev the Motor RPM's up to get the proper PTO speed of 540 because of gearing in the power transfer department.
Looking at the auger speed Cody it seems to be turning at about half speed from what the auger turns on the shops snow blower. I wonder if they geared the pump for 1000 RPM PTO speed. I'll have to try making French Toast English Muffin the next time I want French Toast. Thank you for the snapshot of an afternoon at the homestead and family life with the new addition to the family. I think Jack is going to make a good father when he get there... I wonder why? Not really!
You don't need to up you pressure but gpm your pump is capable of 22 gpm but only at 1000rpm Your pump seems to be a p55 (I actually don't know but that's what it looks like) type model (5.5 ci). The formula: Displacement of pump × rpm ÷ 231(cubic inches in a gallon)= gpm Let's see 5.5 ci × 500 rpm ÷ 231ci = 11gpm and only one of those you cam change and that is rpm
And your pump can handle it we run the same one at 2300 all the time on semis Your tractor can take it too because you need a minimum of 25 hp Psi×gpm×0.0007= required horsepower
To get the motor speed, you need flow. To get the motor torque you need pressure. From what I am seeing the system is lacking both. With each Quick Couple you get flow drop and pressure drop if they are sized for just enough for the flow intended. At any elbow you again get flow and pressure drops. If those elbows are milled with sharp corners they really restrict the flow over a bent tube making the same corner. I'm just stating what I'm seeing from the video and what I have seem in like equipment on a Skid Steer. If you go look at videos of the makers snow blower and watch them in action you will note they are running at much higher speeds than what Cody is getting.
Are you sure the pumps are turning at engine speed off the transmission PTO? As I remember they run from 50 to 75 % of engine speed depending on the transmission and PTO ratio. The PTOs are driven off the idler shaft in the transmission. Really what we are talking about doesn't change what's going on with Cody's snowblower. All we are doing is pointing at things to be looked at.
its incredible to see the evolution of Wranglerstar's video editing over the years! Everything is so smooth. Definitely one of the best produced channels on UA-cam.
what are you thinking? pto direct drive blower? I would bet pto driven is better, also not enough snow - but as everyone else says, the blades don't seem to be running fast enough. Any chance of getting high-speed footage or an optical tach on the PTO shaft and blade to check that speeds are as expected?
808jpm I use a PTO front mount blower I clear my parking lot and all of our RV spaces out and about 15 driveways all winter we had a hydraulic run blower even with the power pack set up it was horrible got away from that after the first year I now run a 43hp kabota pto blower it’s great
The Yanmar does not have a forward PTO and Cody plows long driveways so plowing in reverse would be a bother. That Yanmar only has 10 gpm hydraulics so he has to have a powerpack.
One of the problems of watching a rotating piece in a video is the stroboscopic effect between the shaft speed and the frames per second. You can change shaft speed so in the video it actually looks like it is not turning at all, or even running backwards.
Loved your intro music and loved your thankful heart in the end of the video. Top notch production! Better then anything on TV. Good food for the soul in a winter that has been driving me nuts. God Bless!
Admittedly, I know nothing about snow blowers because I live in the south. But, it seems like there could be a bypass issue if it’s stalling out that easily. But i know my knowledge base is very limited compared to some on here.
Sorry to hear about your snowblower luck, might only work for the deep stuff. Congratulations on the latest addition to your family!!! Absolutely beautiful!
your so blessed to have such a wonderful family . i only wish i could amount to half the man you have become . i dont have a faith i know you are a beliver in god maybe thats what im missing. thank you for all that you share. truly inspirational .
Zach The Ripper Jesus came to abolish religion. He went to the high priests flipped their tables where they were selling things in the temple. Believing in Jesus isn't religion. Im not Catholic and not Lutheran. I'm a believer in yeshua and I am a filthy sinner. I am Nothing without him and the grace he gave
Alex Butler my opinion is yes there might be a god but all the religions are made by humans for many reasons. I don't think that there's the right religion and the wrong I think that 1st of all we have to be good people and help each other and not only ourselves
regardless of weather it is real or not beliving in something higher than your self and also to spend time with your comunity in a church or what ever makes you a unit . nowadays most people done really even know there neighbour . im not saying i want to be christian im just saying im not doing aswell and im not as happy in my life as he looks to be haha. i am only 26 though
I’m just a kid so you can very well ignore what I’m saying but I myself am an athiest, and I just want to say that you should believe in what makes you happy, if you want to be a Christian, go out there and be one, do you want to be a Muslim, go out there and be one, etc etc, and if it’s the wrong religion, and there is an actual god who is from a different religion, I’m sure he or she will accept you, I myself find that being an athiest is the best way but I know for a fact that other people like different things so please, to simplify this weird message, believe in what makes you happy, have a good day 😄😄😄
Cody, the effort you put into your videos is really appreciated. Even a mundane task like putting on a snow blower you make visually captivating video.
Agreed. Margarine was never allowed in our home. Always butter. For a few years, there was country morning blend, which was 40% margarine and 60% butter. But in the last 25 years only butter. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping our family healthy. I enjoy your videos and sweetloaf is adorable.
???? That makes no sense, most PTO driven stuff has a shear pin in case something lodges up so it doesn't damage everything completely. You'd better check and make sure because a shear pin on that impeller was exactly my first thought. It should have a shear pin that holds that impeller to the shaft, if it's sheared then it'll likely turn until it gets a little load on it and then stop exactly like it did in the video. Check it out further and make sure, don't make an assumption like that.
My John Deere is hydraulic also , shear pin/bolt on each auger and one on the impeller .. your auger is turning so doesn’t make sense , but at the same time it shouldn’t move freely , you shouldn’t be able to move it with a pry bar
The impeller blades are too far away from the housing allowing stones to collect and lock it up extend the impeller blade by using semi truck mud flaps and cut them to size and attach to impeller blade leaving as little space as possible I did the same for my 5 horsepower Craftsman snow thrower and it throws snow farther and nothing gets stuck in the impeller there are UA-cam channels showing you how to do this have a good one
You are correct. Anything rotary needs high flow which means high RPMs. Whoever engineered that part of the system needs to be shot. But Cody should know that, because he was an "eskavation" professional. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! Cody, I love you and your channel, but you know beans about heavy equipment.
The first thing I said to myself was "that thing needs to be spinning faster" but I am not a snow expert either being as I have lived in Sunny Florida ☀ almost all my life 😎
I would suggest getting an actual snow blower, I understand you got that one for free though. An actual rear mounted one with drive shaft and chain. It seems that yours has trouble picking up snow, its not angled forward correctly. It looks like you get alot of snow in your area. Im a professional Canadian, have a familly owned snow removal company for close to 20 years now. Im trying to save you abit of trouble.
The problem is in the Yanmar Power Pack not the snow blower. Those hydrauic skidsteer snowblowers are a proven blower. This was a good time to show what the problem is and get Yanmar off their duffs.
Hi Kev. I am wondering... for a pebble to lock up the secondary auger... doesn't that mean they didn't put enough space between the secondary auger and its tunnel? I am also wondering if the secondary auger is fast enough... I am not sure what multiples of primary auger speed.
I am not sure what speed his blower is, the standard is usually 540rpm. His is hydraulic, so I dont know. And a pebble isnt supposed to get stuck. As you saw in the video, he barely put pressure and it unjammed. The problem is the hydraulic pack. It simply didnt have enough torque to keep turning. Ive passed huge cement blocks in blowers (because people dont know how to pickup in there driveways) and they never stopped turning( sadly). This is a bit long winded, but there must be a safety device on his blower. On the standard ones there is a saftey bolt on the main drive shaft and the smaller shaft connected to the chain sprockets in the back. These bolts usually break if there is any strain put on the equipment. His just jammed...
Really nice vid. Lovely family. Lucky man. I'm blessed with 3 kids and it is the best thing you can possibly have. Gives you a proper reason to work hard and provide from them. Well done Mr W and Mrs W.
I don't see why people give you hate for being religous. Your religion doesn't harm anyone, and if you find meaning in religion that's a great thing. I'm not religious but you have given me a better understanding of it. Thank you for making great videos.
Few things that caught my attention when you were trying to use that snow blower 2nd stage blower impeller & main auger seem to be way slow Distance it was throwing the snow and the fact that a small stone got between the 2nd stage impellers and the housing… to much clearance between them… so its ineffective Think about the Pump on your fire truck (pumper) that centrifugal pump housing is sorta oblong giving it has 7 points where it starts to take advantage of the incoming pressure which it gains another roughly 21 psi….(depending on your pump size) Try taking an old mud flap.. cut it down and attach it to the 2nd stage impeller and make sure its long enough to touch the housing around the 2nd stage impeller…. This will increase the distance it throws the snow and performance in general….. I got this youtube and tried it on my 28” snow blower and it works great even for wet snow Just my two cents worth
Kathy Bonadonna Probably not. I’ve got a new yanmar tractor and it took 6 months to get parts for its mower deck. 11 months old with 200 hrs and the loader valve is destroyed.
I realize that it may be the camera shutter but are you sure the 2nd state impeller is turning the right direction? Secondly, in reference to the impeller stopping due to a pebble. Hydraulic systems have a high-pressure bypass, which means that when the pressure gets too high, the fluid will bypass the pressure side and return to the tank. Some hydraulic motors have an internal bypass, which under high enough pressure, will bypass the high-pressure feed line directly to the low-pressure return line. In either case, if something was to block the impeller it would bypass, where normally that blower is run directly by a PTO and would just chew up a rock, you now have a kinder/gentler hydraulic drive system. The other possibility is that the bypass valve is bad and leaking pressure constantly. This can just be due to a faulty bypass valve but ALSO, it can occur when a pump is undersized for the power pack and there is constant bypass. Over time the bypass spring will wear out and allow more and more bypass. You'll see a relatively fast but gradual drop in power and speed form the drive motor. Whatever the cause, I hope you get it sorted.
It would probably go something like this "We will have a tech down there to troubleshoot this problem so 1. you have a working unit and 2. our tractor attachments don't look foolish on your channel.
Oh OK, thought you were meaning in the sense of something against Cody. It is surprising that they have not been more proactive in making their product look more spectacular with an available audience of over 900k. Even if only .25% of his subscribers would be in the market for purchasing a new tractor i would think they would want to look like the team to beat.
HERE IS A LINK TO OUR FAVORITE SUMMER BREAKFAST SAUSAGE goo.gl/hDfwi4 (this is an Amazon Affiliate link)
Wranglerstar put an impeller kit on the snow blower! makes a huge difference! I can't even stress the difference!
will not clog up no matter how slushy the snow is and throws the snow twice as far!
but, after watching the vid seems like you might have a flow issue with the hydraulics but if there's too much of a gap between the impeller and the housing it'll do the same! if not familiar with an impeller kit Google it, my blower hasn't clogged in the wettest of snow since I installed mine! impressive
Hey friend here is a link to what Paul is talking about. It is a long video but skip ahead to the good stuff. ua-cam.com/video/EMAgb3QNEE8/v-deo.html
Is that why you put that comment about your snowblower in the mean comment videos 🤔
a little tip about snowblowers, they need snow, if your trying to use it on anything short of well it varies for me my rule on my 36in walk behind is 2 inches for that big thing maybe three or or four, here's the trick instead of shooting off to the side shoot forward and build up the snow to allow it to properly clean itself out and once the snow is built up a bit turn the chute to the side for a bit then turn it back forward again, but like I said anything less than just a guess here three or four inches of moist dense snowball snow and like 6 inches of fluffy powder and there's not enough there to allow debris to float through and over all not enough to get the force behind it to throw.all the way to the side, if you have it turned to the side and it is just anemically making it past the side of the blower turn the chute straight.
Thank you for sharing your family life. That is a specific brand of bravery. I, for one, appreciate it. Thanks again.
I think that snowblower needs a lot more then 1" of snow to work properly.
GTL that was my thought looks like it’s intended for deeper snow. that is to raise the blade so it’s not picking up stones and stuff , and then mush through 3 foot deep drifts
I think if it doesn't work in 2 inches why would it work in 2 feet. It's something else that's wrong with the speed of it
It didn't even look like the snow was deep enough to get to where to gets sucked up and blowing out... I think it would move snow just fine in deeper snow
Right on buddy what a joke

Love the videos Cody
Just about my favorite Video, I hope to be a father of your caliber Sir. Thank You for such genuine inspiration.
Thank you Cody
Thanks for sharing your family with us. Hope your able to spend as much time with the kids as you can. They grow up so fast.

More random Loctite pop ups please 😂😂😂
i agree funny stuff right there.;-)
Like who complains about a dude that uses lock tight and has a place to put it.
These are the best . Please Bring us alone for more outtings. I also really enjoy your stories and the uplifting words you share. Blessings to you family. In PA it was 74 and sunny today I was happy the weather had lifted hope yours does as well soon.

Blessed!! What an amazing family.. You are all so blessed... And thank you for sharing with all of us.. We are also blessed .. Thank you..
It’s nice to spend some time with the family. Thanks for sharing that moment.
When I saw that locktite pop up I died lafing because of that other "reading bad comments" video. Thank you for making my day
I was laughing so hard when I saw it pop up in the corner. Love it. :)
You have the same thoughts has me I feel the same way and when I was a young lad I loved the snow Dad said I would change as I got older I am now 63 and still love the snow your so right it brings back magical memories thank you for sharing your home and family with us and may the good LORD keep you all safe and healthy.

Well it's -16F here this morning but after seeing the little chicka-DEE I am suddenly warmed up!
I love this just family sitting around and being yourself. Not just projects, but these little bits of family life...
hi Mr W, you should remove the egg seeds before cooking, they are toxic! 😆
I wanted to go snow plowing but you are making me hungry now! I can even smell everything cooking. You have a great spread and a great family. Thanks for all that you show. Sometimes I think you have taught groups of people before. Thanks.
As you started to plow I wondered what would happen if you picked up a pebble or a rock. The french toast looked yummy. Real butter, real maple syrup, it doesn't take a lot. Dee has beautiful eyes, you're truly blessed in her. Thanks for sharing.
These are the most wonderful blogs for us. Our family gathers with you guys as we enjoy the many blessings God has provided for us.
The Loctite. LOL
''well he had to make sure we seen all of his loctite''(so im waiting for the other formula,s in other vids) LOL
Mr. & Mrs. Wranglerstar.....you have a great family, I'm always comforted and inspired when I watch the videos that include the whole family......I can see the love and care you have for each other in the way you speak to each other and enjoy being together. Also, thanks for saying & showing the blessing before your meal!
I'm not big on commenting but I don't know how else to reach you. I've only recently returned to Christ and I'll tell you straight up your talks after videos have given me so much strength. Keep up the good work.
Adam Edwards agree
Way to go Adam!!
What a great example of a father and husband. You are a lucky man to have so many blessings.
You have become a meme, and I love it! Keep up the good work! Love the Loctite bit !
Thanks for the inside look at your family, precious! God bless!!!
Your Second Stage Impeller is rotating way to slow. My 550 PTO is on the Rear on the John Deere 1025 R the Mid mount PTO running the snow blower is 2000 RPM. That Second Stage will never move any amount of snow and will just freeze up every time.
What a beautiful and fun family you have. Thanks for sharing!!!
That Loctite thing is hilarious.
It was a motorcycle video, he has a nice Loctite kit with every formula. I have Loctite envy myself, I want one of those kits. I have red and blue...
A beautiful family Cody. Great video to take our minds off all the everyday stresses. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Need a Loctite warning before the vid! I am watching on my lunch break and choked on my drink when it popped up. Keep up the good work!
All of your videos makes me learn something.Sometimes its about cutting trees, sometimes about repairing/diy and sometimes about the daily life of an American family.Thank you for shairing them with us, appreciate it.
will check back when you get some real snow .
I was expecting something similar to those snow plow trains. Bit of an anticlimax.
Indeed, please show us again how it will deal with a larger amount of snow.
WOW what a blessing, thank you for sharing your beautiful family
Lol... love the loctite! I watch your videos because I enjoy seeing what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. I also like your family’s personalities, ethics and perspectives. I don’t watch so that I can try to disprove your techniques or argue with everything you do. If those were my reactions to your videos, I simply wouldn’t watch them.

English muffins don't have holes. They have nooks and crannies.
lol Thomas' English muffins
Dad always called them crooks and nannies. I still can't say it any other way after all these years
Thank you for sharing your family gathered in the kitchen for a loving breakfast. The very best time. Your comments at the end were just right to end this wonderful video.
Fantastic show . Loved it . God bless you all.
AWWWW!! Your little Sweetloaf is....well.......just so SWEET!! What a cutie! What a lovely family you have, sir. Be proud!
Keep doing what yer doing, and I look forward to the next installment!
at this rate youll get sponsored by loctite, not that thats a bad thing!
Videos are so inspiring! Your home and family is so beautiful! I watch your videos all the time! Keep them coming!
Sweetloaf....quick I've got to hug something. Anytime I watch her, that is my reaction.
I'll definitely have to try that French toast recipe out! Sweetloaf is so adorable, big baby blues like that always make my heart melt.

What a beautiful day to be home with your family. Thanks for sharing your breakfast and prayer with us. The family blogs are a treat.
Its not spinning fast enough.
I thought it looked like it was running slow to.
Looking at the auger speed Cody it seems to be turning at about half speed from what the auger turns on the shops snow blower. I wonder if they geared the pump for 1000 RPM PTO speed.
I'll have to try making French Toast English Muffin the next time I want French Toast.
Thank you for the snapshot of an afternoon at the homestead and family life with the new addition to the family. I think Jack is going to make a good father when he get there... I wonder why? Not really!

5.5 ci × 500 rpm ÷ 231ci = 11gpm and only one of those you cam change and that is rpm
And your pump can handle it we run the same one at 2300 all the time on semis
Your tractor can take it too because you need a minimum of 25 hp
Psi×gpm×0.0007= required horsepower
To get the motor speed, you need flow. To get the motor torque you need pressure. From what I am seeing the system is lacking both.
With each Quick Couple you get flow drop and pressure drop if they are sized for just enough for the flow intended. At any elbow you again get flow and pressure drops. If those elbows are milled with sharp corners they really restrict the flow over a bent tube making the same corner.
I'm just stating what I'm seeing from the video and what I have seem in like equipment on a Skid Steer. If you go look at videos of the makers snow blower and watch them in action you will note they are running at much higher speeds than what Cody is getting.
Are you sure the pumps are turning at engine speed off the transmission PTO? As I remember they run from 50 to 75 % of engine speed depending on the transmission and PTO ratio. The PTOs are driven off the idler shaft in the transmission.
Really what we are talking about doesn't change what's going on with Cody's snowblower. All we are doing is pointing at things to be looked at.
NoC it's the blower. He used a power broom a while back and it had no problems with flow
its incredible to see the evolution of Wranglerstar's video editing over the years! Everything is so smooth. Definitely one of the best produced channels on UA-cam.
You don’t have enough snow for a blower to work properly plus the hydraulic blower are horrible
what are you thinking? pto direct drive blower? I would bet pto driven is better, also not enough snow - but as everyone else says, the blades don't seem to be running fast enough.
Any chance of getting high-speed footage or an optical tach on the PTO shaft and blade to check that speeds are as expected?
808jpm I use a PTO front mount blower I clear my parking lot and all of our RV spaces out and about 15 driveways all winter we had a hydraulic run blower even with the power pack set up it was horrible got away from that after the first year I now run a 43hp kabota pto blower it’s great
The Yanmar does not have a forward PTO and Cody plows long driveways so plowing in reverse would be a bother. That Yanmar only has 10 gpm hydraulics so he has to have a powerpack.
One of the problems of watching a rotating piece in a video is the stroboscopic effect between the shaft speed and the frames per second. You can change shaft speed so in the video it actually looks like it is not turning at all, or even running backwards.
Thanks so much for having the courage to share your family giving thanks before eating!
What an amazing life you have.
Some of the beast content on UA-cam for me is right hear.
*Touché*
Thanks for your work. Love the closing comments.
Have *you* tried Loctite instead of butter?
Loved your intro music and loved your thankful heart in the end of the video. Top notch production! Better then anything on TV. Good food for the soul in a winter that has been driving me nuts. God Bless!
Admittedly, I know nothing about snow blowers because I live in the south. But, it seems like there could be a bypass issue if it’s stalling out that easily. But i know my knowledge base is very limited compared to some on here.
Sorry to hear about your snowblower luck, might only work for the deep stuff.
Congratulations on the latest addition to your family!!! Absolutely beautiful!
your so blessed to have such a wonderful family . i only wish i could amount to half the man you have become . i dont have a faith i know you are a beliver in god maybe thats what im missing. thank you for all that you share. truly inspirational .
Monster . im not talking about moeny .
Zach The Ripper Jesus came to abolish religion. He went to the high priests flipped their tables where they were selling things in the temple. Believing in Jesus isn't religion. Im not Catholic and not Lutheran. I'm a believer in yeshua and I am a filthy sinner. I am Nothing without him and the grace he gave
Alex Butler my opinion is yes there might be a god but all the religions are made by humans for many reasons. I don't think that there's the right religion and the wrong I think that 1st of all we have to be good people and help each other and not only ourselves
regardless of weather it is real or not beliving in something higher than your self and also to spend time with your comunity in a church or what ever makes you a unit . nowadays most people done really even know there neighbour . im not saying i want to be christian im just saying im not doing aswell and im not as happy in my life as he looks to be haha. i am only 26 though
I’m just a kid so you can very well ignore what I’m saying but I myself am an athiest, and I just want to say that you should believe in what makes you happy, if you want to be a Christian, go out there and be one, do you want to be a Muslim, go out there and be one, etc etc, and if it’s the wrong religion, and there is an actual god who is from a different religion, I’m sure he or she will accept you, I myself find that being an athiest is the best way but I know for a fact that other people like different things so please, to simplify this weird message, believe in what makes you happy, have a good day 😄😄😄
What a blessing to see a family unapolegetically pray together
That’s some good looking loctite!!!
Grant Ottaviano I hope Cody can give us a good deal on it! 😂
Grant Ottaviano agree
Damn I missed it in this video. I must have been distracted. I was looking for it though.
Best yove done for a while. Showcased all the the work done over the years I ve been watching you. Best to ALL of you!!
Have you checked the hydraulic lines that connect to the blower on the tractor? To me they look like they don't have enough flow
You have raised one of if not the best families on UA-cam. Good job to you and your wife
That is a nice family you have there, You are a very lucky man.
Cody, the effort you put into your videos is really appreciated. Even a mundane task like putting on a snow blower you make visually captivating video.
You just had to show us all of your Loctite. :D
I can feel the jealousy,
Loctite is the only thing needed to live
I hope to have a wonderful wholesome family like you one day, God bless
Still waiting to see a video on the snowblower..... just being sarcastic
Agreed. Margarine was never allowed in our home. Always butter. For a few years, there was country morning blend, which was 40% margarine and 60% butter. But in the last 25 years only butter. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping our family healthy. I enjoy your videos and sweetloaf is adorable.
Busted shear bolt on the impeller ? That thing should be throwing snow 40 feet ..weird
It's hydraulic there is no shear pin,
???? That makes no sense, most PTO driven stuff has a shear pin in case something lodges up so it doesn't damage everything completely. You'd better check and make sure because a shear pin on that impeller was exactly my first thought. It should have a shear pin that holds that impeller to the shaft, if it's sheared then it'll likely turn until it gets a little load on it and then stop exactly like it did in the video. Check it out further and make sure, don't make an assumption like that.
My John Deere is hydraulic also , shear pin/bolt on each auger and one on the impeller .. your auger is turning so doesn’t make sense , but at the same time it shouldn’t move freely , you shouldn’t be able to move it with a pry bar
Shear pins are meant to fail first as not to damage the PTO , should have them .. great vid Cody
I actually think you have helped me majorly fix issues I had with my faith do to life circumstances. Thank you and please keep posting videos sir.
The impeller blades are too far away from the housing allowing stones to collect and lock it up extend the impeller blade by using semi truck mud flaps and cut them to size and attach to impeller blade leaving as little space as possible I did the same for my 5 horsepower Craftsman snow thrower and it throws snow farther and nothing gets stuck in the impeller there are UA-cam channels showing you how to do this have a good one
This video was a great start to my day! Thank you for sharing.
It’s just plowing the snow
I love watching, tractors, cooking and family!
seams like it needs to have high flo so it spins faster but im not a expert i repeat not a expert
You are correct. Anything rotary needs high flow which means high RPMs. Whoever engineered that part of the system needs to be shot. But Cody should know that, because he was an "eskavation" professional. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! Cody, I love you and your channel, but you know beans about heavy equipment.
the kubota m tractors has great flo for running snowblowers
The first thing I said to myself was "that thing needs to be spinning faster" but I am not a snow expert either being as I have lived in Sunny Florida ☀ almost all my life 😎
yeah my GF said its sunny in florida were she is
Major G agree
Just wanted you to know i just restored an hatchet ive had for years and your vids taught me how! thanks great vids!!!
I would suggest getting an actual snow blower, I understand you got that one for free though. An actual rear mounted one with drive shaft and chain. It seems that yours has trouble picking up snow, its not angled forward correctly. It looks like you get alot of snow in your area. Im a professional Canadian, have a familly owned snow removal company for close to 20 years now. Im trying to save you abit of trouble.
Kev Gunner I am a professional Canadian too. I put a back blade on and have the loader in front for when I cannot wing it back anymore.
The problem is in the Yanmar Power Pack not the snow blower. Those hydrauic skidsteer snowblowers are a proven blower. This was a good time to show what the problem is and get Yanmar off their duffs.
Hi Kev. I am wondering... for a pebble to lock up the secondary auger... doesn't that mean they didn't put enough space between the secondary auger and its tunnel? I am also wondering if the secondary auger is fast enough... I am not sure what multiples of primary auger speed.
No it just means that the blower is under powered. My MTD walk behind will toss small rocks 15 feet.
I am not sure what speed his blower is, the standard is usually 540rpm. His is hydraulic, so I dont know. And a pebble isnt supposed to get stuck. As you saw in the video, he barely put pressure and it unjammed. The problem is the hydraulic pack. It simply didnt have enough torque to keep turning. Ive passed huge cement blocks in blowers (because people dont know how to pickup in there driveways) and they never stopped turning( sadly). This is a bit long winded, but there must be a safety device on his blower. On the standard ones there is a saftey bolt on the main drive shaft and the smaller shaft connected to the chain sprockets in the back. These bolts usually break if there is any strain put on the equipment. His just jammed...
Really nice vid. Lovely family. Lucky man. I'm blessed with 3 kids and it is the best thing you can possibly have. Gives you a proper reason to work hard and provide from them. Well done Mr W and Mrs W.
You just had to show us your loctite, didnt you?
🤣🤣
It's good to see a wholesome family. Greetings from Cape Town.
Love the channel. #loctitelove
LOCTITE IS LIFE,
(っ◔◡◔)っ ❤ L O C T I T E
I don't see why people give you hate for being religous. Your religion doesn't harm anyone, and if you find meaning in religion that's a great thing. I'm not religious but you have given me a better understanding of it. Thank you for making great videos.
Why do I have loctite on my screen
It's an inside joke,
Wranglerstar I know, just joking 😊
You are very smart 😊
Few things that caught my attention when you were trying to use that snow blower
2nd stage blower impeller & main auger seem to be way slow
Distance it was throwing the snow and the fact that a small stone got between the 2nd stage impellers and the housing… to much clearance between them… so its ineffective
Think about the Pump on your fire truck (pumper) that centrifugal pump housing is sorta oblong giving it has 7 points where it starts to take advantage of the incoming pressure which it gains another roughly 21 psi….(depending on your pump size)
Try taking an old mud flap.. cut it down and attach it to the 2nd stage impeller and make sure its long enough to touch the housing around the 2nd stage impeller…. This will increase the distance it throws the snow and performance in general….. I got this youtube and tried it on my 28” snow blower and it works great even for wet snow
Just my two cents worth
so are the yanmar people going to come and fix your equipment?
Kathy Bonadonna Probably not. I’ve got a new yanmar tractor and it took 6 months to get parts for its mower deck. 11 months old with 200 hrs and the loader valve is destroyed.
yikes 6 months for parts lucky my kubota dealer keeps parts for 100% of every equipment out there in stock all the time and his 5 service trucks too
I've never thought of frying summer sausage, but it looks delicious! I'm going to try it for sure.
What's your favorite Winter Olympic event?
The one where athletes don't lecture me on politics,
Wranglerstar me too 😂
And they don't understand why people are tuning out,
I bet you & Jack could setup a great Biathlon course. Y'all do cross country skiing right? And I know you have rifles.
Captain K-man combine both activities to create father/son ski-shoot!
What a wonderful family you have, Cody. Love your videos
I think it's back to the drawing board a snow plow I would have been a lot quicker
I realize that it may be the camera shutter but are you sure the 2nd state impeller is turning the right direction? Secondly, in reference to the impeller stopping due to a pebble. Hydraulic systems have a high-pressure bypass, which means that when the pressure gets too high, the fluid will bypass the pressure side and return to the tank. Some hydraulic motors have an internal bypass, which under high enough pressure, will bypass the high-pressure feed line directly to the low-pressure return line. In either case, if something was to block the impeller it would bypass, where normally that blower is run directly by a PTO and would just chew up a rock, you now have a kinder/gentler hydraulic drive system.
The other possibility is that the bypass valve is bad and leaking pressure constantly. This can just be due to a faulty bypass valve but ALSO, it can occur when a pump is undersized for the power pack and there is constant bypass. Over time the bypass spring will wear out and allow more and more bypass. You'll see a relatively fast but gradual drop in power and speed form the drive motor. Whatever the cause, I hope you get it sorted.
If I was Yanmar we would be having a discussion.
about ?
French Toast
It would probably go something like this "We will have a tech down there to troubleshoot this problem so 1. you have a working unit and 2. our tractor attachments don't look foolish on your channel.
Oh OK, thought you were meaning in the sense of something against Cody. It is surprising that they have not been more proactive in making their product look more spectacular with an available audience of over 900k. Even if only .25% of his subscribers would be in the market for purchasing a new tractor i would think they would want to look like the team to beat.
The blower is not a Yanmar product!!!
