We've all been there Stan, after 20 hours of plowing, and level 11 frustration we get a little bit short with people, it's nice to see the other side of the coin too for the other viewers out there that haven't experienced this. Also it's really human of you to say I feel like a tool after you see her with the little kid I've experienced something very similar many times and it's humbling.
Tread Lightly Services LLC. Honestly having a little kid is no excuse at all, I have a toddler and I would not expect someone to go out of their way for me
Yes we’ve all been there and wanted to do the same thing but haven’t. On the flip side there are those of us that are out there supporting our little ones that we’d also like to get home to see. It’s a two way street, that most people who have never plowed ever think about.
Brent Wanamaker yep, it goes both ways, people (myself included) have a way of not seeing past their own nose and realizing how they are affecting those around them, easy to not want to be inconvenienced parking away from the door but it’s also easy to forget there’s a real person who now has to work around your car
OntarioRedneXXX one of my favorites is when you get to a lot and have a section cleared for people to move to a they come out and need to clean their car off like the are going home just to move it so you can clean the rest of the lot
@@Beandiptheredneck for sure! I don't have a toddler, but I can totally understand if you forgot to move your car because your looking after said toddler as apposed to the fact you just cant be bothered, ya know?
I'm sure she felt bad once she realized she was in your way. Your act of kindness helped ease a difficult situation. Love Thy Neighbor.... Great example Stan !!!
Thanks B rad !
I agree. In the end, you got the job done. And she got to have that spot.
Yep , it's tough to hold back the "Snowplowitus" developed after excessive hours of snow removal!
It's truly a skill to remain patient and courteous after putting in long hours plowing!
👍
you should do more plowing i love your plowing videos I am a snow plower myself I like to take tips from you and apply them to our operation and I am sure that almost every snow plower fells the same way you do myself included. God bless you and your crew and be safe. :)
Thanks Maxwell, I appreciate you watching !
Such a great guy! Love the humbleness
Man I don't miss doing snow removal in Eagan. A few years ago me and my guy we're the only ones to show up for the biggest snow event of the season and the company didn't prepare or get help for us we worked 80 hours straight and in a 7 day period had 123 hours in. Your body just goes on auto pilot you can't fell anything but exhausted yet once you get home there's no way to fall asleep. I remember one of the sites where there is a coffee place it wasn't even your site to plow and you see me and my buddy working when nobody showed up and you took time out of your day and back dragged all the sidewalks you could reach it was a site where we weren't allowed to use four-wheelers or the compact tractors so you saved me and my friend almost four hours of work and we were able to catch some sleep because of you I appreciate dit so much at the time and now that I think back on it I just wanted to say thank you
weird how that works, huh? the more exhausted you are the harder it is to fall asleep sometimes.
So much respect for you for communicating with the lady with the kid
Stanley! I love the humility and all the content,keep it up!
You showing your entire thought process of the suv parking out front of that building and then feeling bad because she had her child with her shows to me how real of person you are...
I always give a 👍 and it’s always moments like these that make me want to even more so...
Stan - Your attitude after that many hours of work is not a negative, but deserves a commendation. I doubt most of us could even be close to that calm after that much hard work.
Thank you
Mr. Stanley I agree with a lot of the comments below. Even tho I don't live where it snows. Iam grateful for people like you and your crew for helping keep the streets somewhat safer during the winter. Thank you for what you and your crew do just not during the winter but all year round. Hope y'all have a wonderful and blessed week and weekend. Sending love and hugs from the central coast of Cali. 💖🤗
Thank you fir the awesome comments and for watching !
Stanley, I been watching your videos for some time now. You have been so inspiring to me. I had a small excavating businesses, but divorce which led to substance abuse has brought me down. But 1 year clean now and I’m finally getting after it again. It’s not easy but I have faith in Jesus Christ! And I will make a come back even better than before. I had to start midway but I know, I will succeed. I’m only 42 I have a few years yet to make my best. Again THANK YOU for so much inspiration!!!
Heck Yeah Adam! CONGRATS ON ONE YEAR SOBER!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for being a gentleman! That is how professionals act even if they are in the right or wrong you held your composure.
Appreciate that Steven, thanks !N
Don't feel too bad we all get cranky after being out 20+ hours, it gets super annoying and frustrating when people park in the way if I see em I kindly ask them to move if they don't listen I back drag the best I can so be it if there's a windrow halfway up their door
Glad to see you made a good and wise choice of not plowing the lady in. LOL, it's ok to have plenty of tools in one's box without being one. Great video, my friend. Cheers!
It's always the "what could happen" effect that may make things better or worse, and I've been there.
Thank you !
I know I’ve definitely felt your pain on this. I give you a lot of credit for including your frustration in the video. I don’t know that I would have the self confidence to include that into the video. I give you a lot of credit
You're a good dude. Patience is a virtue. You did the right thing.
Stan I love the plowing videos as a entrepreneur in the plowing business I find them vary helpful! Thank you for doing what you do! Just recently went on my own! Out of a loader and into my personal truck! Keep the videos coming
More vids ti come Adam, and congrats and hope your season is awesome !
I had a guy who owed me for 4 snow storms. Pretty big driveway. Well he blew me off so I put a 10 foot pile about 10 feet long at the street. It froze cause it started to rain and he had to wait till summer to get out. Never did get the money. Just satisfaction. Deadbeat payers suck!!
I put a few piles right in front of their garage doors before for non payment .Payments were swift after that .
That could go really bad for you. Deadbeats tend to sue rather than pay. Doing what you did just gives him the opportunity to sue.
@@lakestatebullies7391 I sure the judge would side with us on a deadbeat not paying for services they wanted.
@@lakestatebullies7391 no contract with them. I put their snow back for them so they knew where it was
@@JohnR9965 Not if they were Democrats
Tire chains square links v bar studded etc all make a huge difference
A broken door latch isn’t a breakdown 🤣
For real
Lol I thought the same thing. But I’ve been there and some times the little things set you off
nephilly87 it is when it’s negative f**kin cold and the door is swinging in the wind like a flag in the wind.. it would make an already crappy night that much worse
You yelled at a lady with a kid
OntarioRedneXXX tie it shut and get on with the storm are you kidding me I have seen guys rip there whole door off skidsteers all the time they break the glass in pieces in snow storms no door the whole storm even seen guys rip a door off a brand new pickup while loading the spreader with the door open that is the most easiest problem you could have in a snow storm to rig up and keep going
I bought a Moose County plow in 2003. Held up to all these Wisconsin Winters. 5 car parking lot and many sidewalks and driveways and still going strong. I use a skid steer cutting edge on my moose plow, it will go down to the pavement always and lasts forever. Moose Cty plows are the best.
Every time I see your snow plowing videos it gives me the chills and I thank God that I live just below the Texas Panhandle. We were in the high 60's and 70's most of last week then 3 inches of snow Tuesday down to 13 tonight and then back to warmer 60's in a few days. Two days of snow is plenty for me for the year, now it can go away. I'd rather go west 2 1/2 hour drive to the west to the mountains to see snow then leave it there.
The snow is not for everyone , thanks for watching!
You handled that quite well , we all need to learn patients and understanding. Well done
Thanks Pete !
I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that crap anymore. Longest we’ve ran was 36 hours in west Michigan fighting lake effect snow. Got a couple short naps in the truck but man was that hell. Keep it up! It’s almost time for spring clean ups! Lol
Lol, almost Kenny !
The worst is when customers in condo parking lot decide to start moving cars when your half way done and get stuck on top of piles or ridges that you’ve mad to push then want your help to get the car off very frustrating,
Consideration is a rare thing now a days.... kinda sad.
Private lots can suck for sure, I do alot of city and some private and we have a system here called Know Your Zone, and alot don't hear about it or ignore it and last run was a complete mess. Graders did their thing and least 2 hours later we got down to that section of street and people were moving vehicles as we were blocking the street with snow, say the least we piled a couple piles making it difficult but do able to get out, wasn't 100% intentional just no where to pile snow after the directions we were given for certain criteria on that street and absolutely hell bound and no where to put snow we had to run it couple blocks away by loader....let's just say gong show for everyone
Im in a bobcat at a big warehouse complex that have their own trucks probably 150+ park in a couple lines. Never fails that one decides to drive in a big pile i have set off to the side for the loader to pickup and get stuck in. They always think they need to play in them
Just keep plowing the snow and keeping us in the loop when possible. No need to have special videos for certain things. Just keep it going - you're doing great!
Thank you !
She was using the kid as a crutch, just to make you feel bad, don't feel bad,
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets pissed. At people parking in the wrong spot or pulling out in front of you when you're plowing. I've been doing this for 32 years. I am usually not a nice person to be around when I get home from plowing snow. Keep up the good work Stan good video
Appreciate that Brent, thank you
Thankfully for Volvo, they finally discontinued their ctl and ssl line or will be soon. In addition, Volvo contracted JCB to make their ssls and ctls so take that for what it is worth.
Studded Tires even on the loader and skid steers here. Moncton NB Canada. We get more freezing rain and snow mix then anywhere in north America. Last storm we got 36 inchs of wet heavy snow in 12 hours.
Great point, I love my Cooper Weather Master Studded Snow tires. They seem to go anywhere, anytime and through almost everything !
You're a good man, Stan. Much respect to you for your human compassion.
Appreciate that Don, thanks
Stan that was real plowing life there, having a moment with the cars in the parking lot. We all go through that
Keep it up Stan! Good night's sleep and 3 deep breaths usually have you swinging for another storm. Would love to see how your snowdogg is holding up after 1 1/2 seasons. They just came out with a smaller v plow, upgraded their electronics and now have me very interested.
definitely love the plow videos we have not had much snow here this winter. Watching others plow can help others learn to plow. 10 years plowing I'm hanging the keys up
Thanks Shaggy !
The worst ones are the ones that pull up and park when they see you working a area and you're backing up right towards them. I lost my cool on a few of those idiots.
When i worked in maintenance for a local Casino, we had to plow around the vehicles. Not what i was used to. Great vid.😀
Thanks Ricky !
We plow an Ikea... Have to plow around cars and shopping carts 🤦♂️
She was wrong! Don't feel like a DB. She was. Every body else followed the signs.
You are a true gentleman, truly enjoy your videos keep it up
Thanks Marcel, much appreciated !
Definitely want more plowing video's. Find them very relaxing when I'm sitting in 40 degree celcius heat in Australia, choking on smoke from the bush fires.
Hey Stan. I'm over in southeast michigan and we have gotten almost no snow. 8 in Nov 10-11 and 6 in of wet snow Jan 21. I only do residential so unless it's over 2 in no money. I'm jealous of how busy you are and at the same time Don't envy you on how frustrating and mentally taxing it can be. Take care. Stay strong😁
Thanks Chris and sorry to hear that you've had a bad winter. Hope it get better for you !
I like when you talk about how the machines and the plow work
This is awesome. I've always wanted to see how hard working Americans plow snow.
Glad you like it Michael, thanks for watching !
Great video. Very personal. It was like being there for a ride-along. Immersive.
Glad you liked it, thanks !!
I was having a stressful day one time. I was wall sawing a 14" foundation wall when the blade got stuck with a sliver of rebar. I was on a 10' ladder chopping out the blade cussing and swaring under my breath. When a guy on the job put it in prospective. In only a few words he said " at least you aren't getting shot at or blown up" . Ever since then it's been different when I feel frustrated.
You are a good man. God bless you! Stay safe!
Thank you Oliver !
@@Dirtmonkey You are very welcome. I don't comment much but I love your videos and appreciate all the extra work it takes from your day to make them. Keep up the good work and, again, be safe! God bless you.
Awww, in the end you've got such a big soft heart.
And I thought my day was tough because we are having weather in the 80's and tomorrow will be 84. South Florida gives us about 30 cool days a year then back to hot as a blast furnace. That snow reminds me of moving dirt that turns to mud from sudden summer rain.
Blast furnace is a great description. It literally feels like someone hits you square in the face with a flat, red hot shovel when walking out the door ! I sometimes call it Africa hot, lol.
I do love my Moose Plow, I got it in 2001 on my honda and it works great
Awesome Gregory !
I like the many different camera angles!
Thanks Garrett !
How is the camera mounted to the Loader and back drag plow?
Love it when people park in spots you clear for room for back and forth
Was in snow business for like 20 years. Don't miss it one day. Nice when everything goes smooth which is never the norm.
Thats true! Thanks for viewing
Guy I used to plow with made 1 million dollars in 10 years in a 1999 chev 2500 gas truck plowing and sanding.
He never put a cent into it then put 2000.00 into it and got t-boned the next day. Don’t matter if it new or old it’s how you use it. Love your vids they show people just a taste of what you go through.
Thank you and hoary to have you here and watching !
"Well the spot I parked in was cleared"... In front of the giant pile of snow... Nice to know it's not just me that gets like that.
Great video Stanley! Snow plowing videos always keep me entertained.
Awesome to hear, thanks for watching !
Why, oh why am I watching a video about plowing snow when I have to wake up in 4 hours to plow for the next 2 days?!
No sure but thanks for being here !
@@Dirtmonkey have you ever thought of putting studs in your wheels on your big equipment for when you have ice?
I plowed with a 10 wheeler for the city and it was one of my favorite jobs ever. But also one of the most frustrating, I have been that guy who plowed people in, or after getting a street curb to curb the guy who fires up the snowblower at 3am with the massive driveway would make my masterpiece of a street look like crap so I would come back after the street was covered again and plow everything into his approach. I rarely felt good after and sometimes I would go back to fix what I did.
My city its an arrestable offense to put it back in the street.
@@heyyou5189, mine also.
I can see you have a GREAT CREW !!!! Good move on not getting " OVER HEATED " with all the hick-ups going on !! Keeping your cool with the woman's car holding up everybody plans is not easy and very frustrating , but you handled it the right way !!! I can appreciate the way other people inconsiderate actions can make you feel but again you nailed it on a professional and mature level !!! I can totally relate . I just made a comment on an ongoing issue I have with DOG POO . I left it on your pool garbage clean out video . Thanks , B&A .
Yeah- I would have felt like a jerk if I reacted the way I wanted to.
I used to plow for a major ski resort. We had chained up front end loaders with 12foot wide x 4 foot tall blades that weighed 10,000 lbs(just the blade). I remember one time a car had stayed for DAYS in the same parking lot, had been ticketed, and told not to park there. Well finally I had had it and one morning I was plowing out the 10 inches of fresh snow that had fallen and turned the blade towards the vehicle, and a tsunami of snow buried the undercarriage.
I've done some stupid things in my life, but this is not one of them.
We have plenty of mixed bag storms in New England, nothing new for us. One is happening right now. Last storm was the perfect storm, 6" of powder that started falling at 5 PM, finished at 1 AM and had everyone done by 7 AM on a Sunday. Snow was good and cold and back dragged easily with no packing. And we run Fisher Extream V plows mounted on Ford F 350 diesel pick ups.
I know the feeling Stan, I used to plow for a living before it stopped snowing enough to be profitable here in Ohio.
20+ hr events. Been there more than a few times. Never easy but a good reminder that a little time spent on game planning for staffing shifts and possible equipment breakdowns does pay off, especially when managing extended snow events.
Your a good man stanley
Thanks Cody!
Been there done that and have plowed in a few cars.
Especially working around handicap parking spots clean enough just to get a good push then some jerk that didn't even have a handicapped tag.takes that one spot too work around again.
One push we had in Indianapolis in been a few years ago almost 30 hours in the cab.
We may had 10" in last two years. Not much snow work here this year.
As the hours are more the shorter the patience. Be safe and keep your patience.
Good comments Donald, thank you !
We just got a 30+cm dump in Montreal and it's still snowing. It's been snowing for about 48hrs. Our clients are calling us non-stop wondering why the snow isn't completely removed from their sites. People just don't understand how long it takes to remove snow. Some days can be very frustrating.
For sure Matt, good luck and stay safe out there !
Keep plowing snow, keep growing & keep making money. Like the plow video.... Sometimes peoples is hard to live with. I was parts man for over 40 years. From lawn mower to semi trucks....
Thanks Gene, happy to have you here !
The devel on one shoulder and the all mighty creator on the other ,it's a tug of war thanks 4 being kind it's hard sometimes ♥️♥️♥️The channel
Thank you for being here and watching !
They always leave when you're done plowing around them. Lol. I feel your pain
That's real life for a plow man. I'm in northern New Hampshire and we got 13 to 19 inches coming they say.
More snow videos there cool
Thanks Alan !
Stan if that is you grumpy I could work for you any day! Stupidity is like a disease these days. Add in 20 hours plus straight of tough work! You were very humble to the lady. Your a good man. Remember it’s not always how we start that matters. It’s how we end.
Thank you Mike and good advice !
You are a good man we all lose our cool after 20 hours of aggravation have a good day
Thanks Chris
We’ve had storms that don’t produce a lot but they fall at perfect times to the point where you’re up for days and then end up plowing around parked cars, so yeah I get it man. It adds a whole other level of stress.
You bet Pedro, thanks for watching !
That guy on the Atv was a boss.
Just full throttles out drifting lol.
Stanley, with the snopower when carrying a heavy load turn off the traction control. You will pull 10x better. Did you adjust the rear wings like you're supposed to? 1 inch off the ground closed on the ground. So easy. Man if you want a perfect scrape you have to with the rear I have it perfect. One swipe grab and go and I dump in the street. Push in reverse with the rear 16ft wide that gives the best scrape on the ice for getting it up so much better than the front plow. That rear plow is so damn bad ass it is ridiculous!!
Love all of your videos! More snow power!
Thank you Andrew !
Yuz should definitely get spikes or chains for your tires.
We put a set of blizzack on or company pickup for plowing snow and it’s a game changer!!
I used to plow in the late 80's early 90's. One of my accounts was a a few White Castles. I was just about done with the lot and some drunk comes and parks where I was plowing. I told him hey, I'm in the middle of plowing here. He said I'll be right back. After 20 minutes, I took all the snow that I could and buried that car in and went off to my next lot. Came back an hour later to clean it up and the car was gone. Was one of those plowing moments I always said I would do and finally did. Very satisfying. LOL
I defiantly want more plow videos lol these are my favorite
Bro good job man. A lot of people react instead of holding back and waiting. Most of the time everything turns out just fine. Most of the time. Your conscious is good stuff.
Thank you Sean !
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek You’re very welcome.
Glad it never snows here! Summer tires all year!
I like pushing snow and I like to see what others are doing.
Hey Stan, its just another reasons why I hate snowplowing.
I run nokiens on our loaders but also fill all heavy equipment tires with liquid for added ground weight its cheap and helps alot.
more snowplowing yessss
Thank you !
Nice, really nice Stan. Were all proud a ya. 'N ya didnt bury the woman 'n her car. Been there know the feeling. Just keep on smiling. Remember yer not alone you know. ♥️🇺🇸♥️ 🏁🏁🏁👍
Thank you Barry !
Love the Grizzly !!!! I have two 2018 Kodiaks . One with Warn ProVantage 60" snow Plow and the other with Warn ProVantage 54'' plow bucket . Not too much snow here in Ocean City , Maryland , but the snow plow moves sand , mulch , manure , etc. very well . Hey , A PLOW IS STILL A PLOW . The bucket is indispensable for everything , I am using it now on a property to move mulch . Again , nice video !
Your commentating is a mental dialog we all go through when plowing.
Love your videos buddy.
All the different ones.
God Bless.
Appreciate that Justin!
Love a good plow video and so dose my cat.
Thanks to you both for watching !
i enjoyed this video far more than I thought I would.
subscribed.
Awesome to hear, thank you !
Love the snow pushing videos!!!
Thank you Justin!
I love watching the snow plowing videos cause we haven't really had any snow here in West Virginia.
Glad you like them Joseph, thank you !
Man this is the best snow plowing channel! Love your videos! Keep up the good work
My son loves the gopro's on the he's two years old and one of your biggest fans
Thank you Matthew, glad he enjoys the vids !!
Oh I understand the frustration! It seems like everyone wants to drive behind me when I decide to back drag...I can’t see them and almost hit them!!
I’d like to see a few videos or whiteboard discussions about plowing a lot efficiently with the least amount of passes. I always wonder if there is a better way to do my lots.
I know the pain and will be experiencing it again tonight with the storm hitting Michigan soon.
Hope the night goes well for you , thanks for watching !
We have the same issue with parking at one of our plants. The employees no that day shift and night shift park in certain areas. Yet they can’t figure it out and even with us giving security tag numbers they still park in the wrong lot
Enjoyed the video...get some rest buddy. Y'all be safe and careful.
Glad you enjoyed it , thank you !
