What up What's up Turn off the backup alarm before your neighbors hate you. That probably won't mind the machine But the alarm beeping, that would drive Them crazy.👍👍👍
I agree once a person focus on it, for some weird reason it’s like water dripping from a faucet 10:30 was not bad. Actually here in Connecticut it’s allowed when it snows. There are no time limits. My husband would have come out to help you with the shovel/scoop problem. We’ve gotten tons of rain.
Gotta say I started laughing when Stan said he owed the neighbor a ham! Lol I’m Illinois the standard apologies gift is a case of beer. Maybe I’m getting old but the ham sounds better!
@Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek you were close Stan just a little tired, it's ham for those who don't drink and Hamms beer for the neighbors that drink, lol. We've got quite a bit of snow in South Dakota, but nothing like where you are. You're going to have a lot of water in the cattails behind your house after the melt. Keep up the good vids and take care.
Your neighbor is very understanding and good on you for going the extra distance and getting the ham for him. He seemed pretty cool about it, ham excluded. I really do not want to say this too loud for fear of jinxing it, but I'm in central NC and we've not gotten any winter precip yet so far this season. Mostly chilly, damp weather and rain every few days. At this point, I'm ready for 70+ degree temps, plenty of sun, and getting back to cutting grass!
Constant rainy wet weather doesn’t sound too fun. I can’t imagine sunny warm days anytime soon up here but as cold as it gets I’m still grateful for the snow 😊
I live in pretty much the most southern county in Georgia. It's In SE Georgia, the little thumb that sticks out into Florida. I was born in 1990 and I've never even seen snow. It snowed in 1989 but not a drop since. I have traveled to a few other states but never when it's cold enough to snow....

It snowed in 1989 but not a drop since. I have traveled to a few other states but never when it's cold enough to snow. So Stan if you need a extra Operator hit me up! I'd love to come see the snow and do some work while I'm there. I love your channel and the great work you do!
Hey Stan! Amazing video as always! I’m not sure if your skid has one but we have a newer kubota skid and in the back door has a plug for the back up sound. When we are working on our own place early or late we can just unplug it. Then when we go to a job site, we plug it back in. Just some food for thought! Have a blessed night! Y’all be safe!
I’ve never heard of the ham method, and honestly don’t know what I would do if I received a ham, but luckily it seems like you have great neighbors that appreciated the gesture. My default is alcohol lol.
Hey buddy it's your friend Rocco from Connecticut we can't buy a storm up here just been warm right now it's 0 degrees out but that will be short lived we had one plowing in Dec and one in January in all my 30 years of doing this is by far the worst winter ever for making money in the snow game well keep them coming there appreciated thanks your friend Rocco from Connecticut
Well, I'm down in your old stomping grounds and we don't have quite as much snow as you do up in the cities. Most of our snow has been blowing and drifting. It was blowing hard over 35 and more on 90 yesterday, but nothing was sticking thank GOD! It got down to -17 early this morning, saw it was even colder up north. Mighty white of you to be so neighborly! Much respect Stan!! God Bless.
Stan, you are such a good egg. That’s one reason I never miss a video. Also, I never realized the amount of technology involved in snow plowing. I live in Texas, where it hardly snows, which is good, because when it does on those rare occasions, people don’t know how to handle it.
I'm Thomas Trevino from San Antonio Texas. ThankYou for your videos. My fiancé and I are getting married next month March 18th...it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for guys like you teaching me. ThankYou.
We live in Harbor View Ohio (east side of Toledo Ohio ) no snow to speak of all winter, like eight inches all winter long. No plow money here! Great vidio👍
Stan on that big snow bucket. I have three that are made by Titan. They have the top of the back full of holes so you can see through the high back of the bucket. You stated that you had a weld shop straighten out that one. So it sounds like it is yours. I would take it back to that weld shop and have them take their plasma cutter an cut a pattern of 1 inch holes in the top of the back. I have also seen narrow slots cut in a pattern in the back side of the bucket too. That way you can see through it but not much snow will every come through. As for bothering the neighbors. I have accidently done that too. About ten years ago we did not get our soybeans cut early as they where planted late and where too green to harvest at the normal time. We then got an early snow. So here I still had a lot of soybeans out after Thanksgiving. We got a thaw, then it refroze so we could harvest. The trouble was I had a lot of acres and the weather guys said it was going to snow again before I had much time to harvest. So we are running 24/7 to try and get done. Well I kind of forgot about having to haul grain right through a neighboring sub division. It is the only way in and out of the fields. We do have a legal access through the sub division. Lets just say they where not happy about us hauling grain out all night long. I threw a block party the next July and provided an entire beef steer for the cook out. So your correct that meat helps smooth out tempers.
It is refreshing to hear someone say that there is a point when you need a bucket to get the job done. So many tout pushers as a faster do all attachment, but you can only push so much before breaking traction or crushing everything in your path. In my opinion when you get 2 feet plus a material bucket or a large blower is about the only efficient tools for most jobs and necessary to get all that snow tucked in piles out of the way. I hear you... When you get those deep back to back snows it takes a toll on the body and you get in that get it done mode. You have to, your customers depend on you to get them open, especially doctor offices and the like. Your own home is always the last to be open and is the place I get the most complaints clearing. One trick that helps a little is putting a switch on your backup alarm so you can turn it off, at least when your on your own property. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your videos.
Over here 30 miles into Wisconsin we have almost the same amount of snow as you!! I have snow piled up 10 ft high with my JD 3320.One thing nice about the 3320 is that the fuel system is self priming.I have changed the fuel filter and never had to bleed or fill the the fuel ⛽ system. The tractor has a Yanmar motor.Kinda nice.I keep a wide path to our LP tank.It is well off the road so the path needs to be wide enough for the fuel truck to back closer to the tank, so that does make a pretty big snow pile.I don't mind having to do that because is really like running the 3320🚜. Thanks 😊.
It’s good to keep the peace where you live .I completely understand how the time was the last thing on your mind ,my wife has to remind me all the time . I plow with the Town Highway dept ( I’m retired ) so when I come home in the middle of the night I usually clean my yard up . I live in a small village and can throw a baseball to all my neighbors houses. I’m in my town cause I was born here , but my neighbors are great they give the old veteran (1968/1972) space and I will help them anytime they need it . We love your channel Stan keep up the good work !
There was a guy behind me that was in the construction/landscaping business. Shortly after he moved in the upgrades began, and think the only tool he had was a skid steer. Every godamned Saturday and Sunday from dawn to dusk, and 3 or 4 nights a week he was out there using it for the entire spring and summer. Didn't mind the engine noise, but that backup alarm was intolerable. Definitely puts the operator in the dickhead category. Disconnect it in a residential area FFS.
@@salmonhunter7414 So You put the backup alarm on a switch. So it's off when you're in residential area like that and you can turn it back on whenever.
@@gliderp I was in heavy construction for twenty five years, it was amazing how many times we just disconnected the alarm. There was also the instance when some laborer accidentally smashed it with a hammer. One you can live with, but four or five at a time will make you go nuts.
I was thinking about you guys today, wondering how you were. We have had almost no snow here in middle TN. in fact we are supposed to get 50s and 60s for the next week. First of February, how strange is that. I saw that much of the north was going to be VERY cold. You guys be safe please. It's too bad about the new snow bucket. I assume the new truck is working out well? I hope so. Stay warm Stanley and God Bless.
I plow sidewalks at a couple of complexes for my company and I've had a few neighbors of the complex come and complain. Hope you are well! Have an amazing weekend!
I had someone from the post office complain about the way I cleaned out the group boxes a couple of years ago. I went to the postmaster and told her that that would be the very last time/winter I would clean them out and that I had done it for 25 years with zero complaints. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the peck.
@Swamp Rat I thought I was doing those ppl a favor, but 1 person ruined it for 25 other people. I would plow there snow off their walks for free because it was easier than lifting the plow. Guess they just can't take the W.
"Bribing with ham"... very interesting. I learned something today on UA-cam that I could use the next time we get another storm. Lol. Thank you, Stan. ☕️
Been there with losing track of time working outside at night, Not this year though, VERY little Snow so far this in lower NY. Another great video of snow removal, keep them coming!
Stan you are a good man. You recognize that we all can get focused on what we are doing and lose sight of our fellow man on occasion. I’d take you as a neighbor any day friend.
Stan im in suburbs northwest of Chicago welder by trade i feel bad for plowers around us they have to be hurting we've hardly had any snow enjoy your videos thank you 👍
I'm in the NC mountains. When we do get snow we take what plowing we can get no matter what time of night it is. Theres no point in buying snow tires here and it's usually days before we see a plow except on the highways.
When ya kept talking about late, thought you were saying 1-2:am, lol, not 10:00... BUT, certainly hate back up beepers! Liked the ham, nice touch! Thanx !
Well Stan🤨, I'm here in North Carolina and that constant beeping kept me up too 🤷♂️ so, I'll take a Butterball please🤣🤣jk! I'd love to have you as a neighbor Stan👍👍also, sounds like you have awesome neighbors up there buddy!!! Take Care and Stay Safe. God Bless you brother 🙏 Jay.
If you plow your neighbors the one on the right the 1 on the left and the 2 in front of you home Plow There properties They will love you And never complain that's what I do.👍👍
Where I am at in Northwest Oregon is at about 180 feet. No snow yet this year, but we get lots of rain. If we get snow, it is usually in January. Usually when we get snow, the whole State has it. They definitely get snow in the Mountains here most every year. I am about an hour from The Pacific Ocean. Great video Stan. Thanks for sharing, Russ from Oregon.
SW WA here. We could still get snow but we’re running out of time. Last year we had snow in mid April which put us all in a tailspin. It was only 6 to 9 inches as I remember.
Pretty much nothing for snow for two weeks now in Rhinelander, WI. Good thing I don't rely on snow to live in the winter. He didn't look to upset after you gave him his ham.
Down here in Grayson County Texas we just had 3 days of icy conditions. Three days below freezing. At least not as bad as the last time. We did have some outages but not here. Maybe I need to invest in a backup generator. Watching you and a few others just reinforces why I live down here.
Hey c'mon!! This is Youpper country!! Guess what, snow happens! ❄️ And really, you can't blame him for wanting his driveway clean. I am just surprised that those houses don't have enough insulation to dull out the sound. Take some Melatonin and some milk with whiskey, you'll be asleep in no time. Stan, I don't think a ham will do it. Maybe some Venison sausage will do it.
Stan, living in South Carolina 50's daytime 30's at night mostly rain and mud but no snow yet when we get any snow ❄️ it's an inch or 2 but yah gotta stay off the sidewalk cause people can not drive in that kind of weather here coming from someone from Central Maine oh yaht as always God bless y'all stay safe from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
Hi Stanly. I live in northern MI. Our winters here use to look like what you have there but not anymore. there is snow on the ground but nothing at all like in the past.
Stan I've run into issues with Takeuchi buckets not fitting onto bobcats quick tach because the lower mount is about a 1/4 inch closer to the top mount and will not hook up
thought that Bobcat had a self priming fuel system? or am i wrong to assume that means if you do run it out of fuel you dont have to manually prime it again.. or bleed it
Cliff seems pretty chill and definitely appreciated the ham, like you said - meat fixes everything. Except in Ireland - here - a bottle of their favourite tipple fixes everything, especially whisky....
Hi Stan I live in western NY about an hour southwest of Buffalo and we've been getting snow off and on over the winter though the temperatures dipped in the single digits the last few days and I use a bicycle for mode of transport haha
I’m on snow plowers hours right now! Just woke up, starting a fire back up, looking to see what the plan is. It’s easy to forget that normal hours are 9-5 lol! Especially like you said, night to day, day to night and back again. The amount of light doesn’t effect your purpose. Ha ha NICE!! 🤘🏻 Meat does make everything better
My younger years until I was 23 or 24 was spent in Minnesota on a dairy farm. Been thru many snow storms and shoveled my share when it was a luxury to have a machine to move the white stuff. Was back in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Since then it’s been in Kentucky and we have occasional snow storm every few years but I don’t miss the mountains like up there at all. Our days now is frozen ground over night and mud during the day.
Stan on that skidey for home. Should set up switch to shut off backup beeper. For neaighbors im sure open them up for free that will smooth things over a bit. Maybe anounce a neaighbor hood cook out when it gets nice out. Your treat that tends to help with understanding neaighbors.
Hi Stanley, I am seeking your expertise in foundation repair. First let me explain. I have a house that was built on a fresh water spring, I think, because when we have a lot of rain the corner of the house looks normal. However when we have very little rain that same corner opens up and I can literally stick my hand in the cracks. What makes it even more interesting is the inside of the foundation there are no visible cracks. I built houses for 25 years all across our great nation and I simply am stumbled. I am open to any ideas or suggestions or experiences you may have had. I live in a small town in Georgia called Ft Oglethorpe. This is a unusual situation, I have been unable to find any information on this. I just happen to think of you, with your experience in drainage and retaining walls. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! Timothy
I live in SW PA. We have been getting a lot of temp fluctuation. Like 40° one minute, -6° 12 hrs later. So we’ve gotten some snow but mostly ice and nuisance flurries. It’s been a slow snow year based on my average that I’ve compiled.
It happens. I know here there are exemptions on noise ordnances for snow removal equipment so it can be ran whatever time, but you do always wanna keep the neighbors happy. I wired my backup alarms on the trucks off the trailer plug on a pigtail so I can just get out and unplug it if it’s late. Most guys forget that one of the 7 way terminals on the trailer plug is reverse power.
Pretty nice of you to get your neighbor a free ham after he had to listen to the plowing. My weather In new england there is snow on the ground but right now it's -17 below zero but the temps are going to be in the 40s in a few days.
Is the backup alarm required on the skid loader or just a precautionary "nice to have"? The reason I ask is because you don't have one the pickup truck when each was being used for pretty much the same job.
Lol when you were in Walmart I was hoping you were gonna go to the hot wheels ile .. Super cool of you to look out for your neighbor. I live in NE Ohio. We haven't had any snow, just cold. It's sucks. I wish it would snow.
Nice gesture in being a good neighbor. He sure didn’t argue about taking the Ham and had to put his two cents in on how he had to get his sleep. I think Cliff is just one of the neighbors that loves to jaw Jack about nothing. I’m from a small rural community where the grain bins run all night long. The farmers in the field 24/7 and you here them coming and going. In the winter you hear the snow plows running all night, guys on RTV, snowmobiles 24/7. Coyotes howling all night. It becomes white noise. Put your big boy pants on Cliff. Eat your free ham. It’ll be alright.
The cutting edge for the bucket you can have both the bolted one you can change the cutting edge easier and one is a little more expensive than the other !! And on Friday the 3rd was doing -49 f it was a little chillier willy !!have a good one and god bless !!
We had sleet and freezing rain here in Western KY. Made the roads a skating rink for a few days. Had a system come through Monday night then another Tuesday night. Luckily Wednesday night it went south of us down in TN. Made a mess of things though.
Depends if it was on a weekday or weekend. Was it the machine noise or beeper that was the problem. ? It was worse with my neighbors last year during COVID. They would work from home or isolated in place. Not so bad now that they go back to work early in the am....it's 13 below zero here in NH now. Suppose to be 44 degrees tomorrow.
We have 30 to 45 mph winds today an last night -35 to -45 windchills .dusting of snow blowing snow. Feb 3rd 2023. Here up by turtle mts in north dakota. 83 miles north of minot north dakota. Have oh probly 24 to 36 inches on the ground for the winter so far. Ditches full of snow. Crust on what is here. Which is good on our open praireies.
Where I live quiet time isn’t till 11pm and people will routinely run their snowblowers and tractors with blowers up until that point in the night. I understand it can be frustrating but it needs to be cleaned at some point and many people don’t have the luxury of being home early in the day.
I live in SE NC and people here freak out with just the chance of snow , and 3 or 4 inches shuts everything down but we don’t see snow very often . In 1989 we got a record 18 inches and in the teens for several days , lots of frozen pipes that winter.
Southern mn here. Definitely more snow than previous years but it really tapered off at the end of December. Went out twice in January but I just do residential with a riding mower/blower.
I watch your show every so often. we received 4 inches and temp went down to minus 40 Celsius. any dampness before, then made everything turn to rock. oh sorry - saint john NB Canada.
You can tell Stan went into sleep mode after having his neighbor say something, he starts talking all quite and everything😂😂

@Swamp Rat I thought I was doing those ppl a favor, but 1 person ruined it for 25 other people. I would plow there snow off their walks for free because it was easier than lifting the plow. Guess they just can't take the W.
Just keep swimming 😎
"Bribing with ham"... very interesting. I learned something today on UA-cam that I could use the next time we get another storm. Lol.
Thank you, Stan. ☕️
Been there with losing track of time working outside at night, Not this year though, VERY little Snow so far this in lower NY. Another great video of snow removal, keep them coming!
You bet. Hope you get some fluffy flakes before the season ends ❄️
So jealous with how much snow you have. Upstate NY Binghamton nothing here for the season so far. Quite unusual.
Same here in Albany
Sad to hear it. Wish I could send some around
Stan you are a good man. You recognize that we all can get focused on what we are doing and lose sight of our fellow man on occasion. I’d take you as a neighbor any day friend.
Stan im in suburbs northwest of Chicago welder by trade i feel bad for plowers around us they have to be hurting we've hardly had any snow enjoy your videos thank you 👍
I'm in the NC mountains. When we do get snow we take what plowing we can get no matter what time of night it is. Theres no point in buying snow tires here and it's usually days before we see a plow except on the highways.
Such normal courtesy, watching news and TV you would think it totally disappeared. GJ Stan.
When ya kept talking about late, thought you were saying 1-2:am, lol, not 10:00... BUT, certainly hate back up beepers! Liked the ham, nice touch! Thanx !
Well Stan🤨, I'm here in North Carolina and that constant beeping kept me up too 🤷♂️ so, I'll take a Butterball please🤣🤣jk!
I'd love to have you as a neighbor Stan👍👍also, sounds like you have awesome neighbors up there buddy!!! Take Care and Stay Safe. God Bless you brother 🙏 Jay.
Hey bro, 6 degrees on the jersey shore but no snow...I loved the ham thing, you have a headlight out on the steer......lol
Hello from Virginia . You all are on a different planet Stan. Are you going to retire to a warm planet/zone when the time comes? Great channel!
I use to bank on it but I’ve honestly been enjoying the winters here. But the jungle always seems to be calling me back! We’ll see
Good stuff Stan, stay safe ( from Canada )
check out Jenkins iron and steel snow buckets, made right in your back yard in long prairie mn. very high quality well built buckets
Cool will do 👍
This is how it is when neighbors treat each other with respect! kudos
If you plow your neighbors the one on the right the 1 on the left and the 2 in front of you home Plow There properties They will love you And never complain that's what I do.👍👍
I don’t know that guy might get upset if he didn’t get to use his snowblower
@@robertvannicolo4435 I'll be happy if someone did mine
@@willieslawncareservice.8436 oh I do not have to go out in the cold and clear snow. I call that good day.
If you haven't figured it out stan is a dickhead
@@masterbates7016 That's funny
Where I am at in Northwest Oregon is at about 180 feet. No snow yet this year, but we get lots of rain. If we get snow, it is usually in January. Usually when we get snow, the whole State has it. They definitely get snow in the Mountains here most every year. I am about an hour from The Pacific Ocean. Great video Stan. Thanks for sharing, Russ from Oregon.
SW WA here. We could still get snow but we’re running out of time. Last year we had snow in mid April which put us all in a tailspin. It was only 6 to 9 inches as I remember.
Pretty much nothing for snow for two weeks now in Rhinelander, WI. Good thing I don't rely on snow to live in the winter. He didn't look to upset after you gave him his ham.
Down here in Grayson County Texas we just had 3 days of icy conditions. Three days below freezing. At least not as bad as the last time. We did have some outages but not here. Maybe I need to invest in a backup generator. Watching you and a few others just reinforces why I live down here.
Hey c'mon!! This is Youpper country!! Guess what, snow happens! ❄️
And really, you can't blame him for wanting his driveway clean.
I am just surprised that those houses don't have enough insulation to dull out the sound.
Take some Melatonin and some milk with whiskey, you'll be asleep in no time.
Stan, I don't think a ham will do it. Maybe some Venison sausage will do it.
Can’t ever go wrong with some good ol venison 👌
This is why I am proud to be a Minnesotan! Both parties very reasonable, truly cared about each other.
And meat makes everything better!!!
You know it 👍
Stan, living in South Carolina 50's daytime 30's at night mostly rain and mud but no snow yet when we get any snow ❄️ it's an inch or 2 but yah gotta stay off the sidewalk cause people can not drive in that kind of weather here coming from someone from Central Maine oh yaht as always God bless y'all stay safe from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
Southwest Louisiana. Down here we don’t get much sneaux. Love the videos
Hello from Conway, AR. We had a little bit of ice and our city went in to shut down mode 😂
Is the skid loader better with tracks or wheels with option to put tracks over tires?
Hi Stanly. I live in northern MI. Our winters here use to look like what you have there but not anymore. there is snow on the ground but nothing at all like in the past.
Stan I've run into issues with Takeuchi buckets not fitting onto bobcats quick tach because the lower mount is about a 1/4 inch closer to the top mount and will not hook up
hi no snow where in ny . just alot of rain here .how uou like the snow plow you got
Lord God bless you brother .wish i had neighbors like you
thought that Bobcat had a self priming fuel system? or am i wrong to assume that means if you do run it out of fuel you dont have to manually prime it again.. or bleed it
Cliff seems pretty chill and definitely appreciated the ham, like you said - meat fixes everything. Except in Ireland - here - a bottle of their favourite tipple fixes everything, especially whisky....
Dumb question, but would a snowblower be faster? Much less back & forth & dumping, as long as the snow wasn't packed / tracked down
Nope no snow in southern Alabama. But I enjoy watching you play with it!!
Hi Stan I live in western NY about an hour southwest of Buffalo and we've been getting snow off and on over the winter though the temperatures dipped in the single digits the last few days and I use a bicycle for mode of transport haha
I’m on snow plowers hours right now! Just woke up, starting a fire back up, looking to see what the plan is. It’s easy to forget that normal hours are 9-5 lol! Especially like you said, night to day, day to night and back again. The amount of light doesn’t effect your purpose. Ha ha NICE!! 🤘🏻 Meat does make everything better
Lol yuuup. Take care of yourself out there brother 👊
Before midnight, its a ham...after midnight its a brisket. 😁😁
My younger years until I was 23 or 24 was spent in Minnesota on a dairy farm. Been thru many snow storms and shoveled my share when it was a luxury to have a machine to move the white stuff. Was back in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Since then it’s been in Kentucky and we have occasional snow storm every few years but I don’t miss the mountains like up there at all. Our days now is frozen ground over night and mud during the day.
Stan on that skidey for home. Should set up switch to shut off backup beeper. For neaighbors im sure open them up for free that will smooth things over a bit. Maybe anounce a neaighbor hood cook out when it gets nice out. Your treat that tends to help with understanding neaighbors.
Hi Stanley, I am seeking your expertise in foundation repair. First let me explain. I have a house that was built on a fresh water spring, I think, because when we have a lot of rain the corner of the house looks normal. However when we have very little rain that same corner opens up and I can literally stick my hand in the cracks. What makes it even more interesting is the inside of the foundation there are no visible cracks. I built houses for 25 years all across our great nation and I simply am stumbled. I am open to any ideas or suggestions or experiences you may have had. I live in a small town in Georgia called Ft Oglethorpe. This is a unusual situation, I have been unable to find any information on this. I just happen to think of you, with your experience in drainage and retaining walls. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! Timothy
I have to ask. Why dont you have a few blower attachments for your skid steers? Could have done all that in less that 15 min.
I live in SW PA. We have been getting a lot of temp fluctuation. Like 40° one minute, -6° 12 hrs later. So we’ve gotten some snow but mostly ice and nuisance flurries. It’s been a slow snow year based on my average that I’ve compiled.
I just can’t stand snowless but still well below freezing temps. I hope you get some fluffy stuff soon!
It happens. I know here there are exemptions on noise ordnances for snow removal equipment so it can be ran whatever time, but you do always wanna keep the neighbors happy. I wired my backup alarms on the trucks off the trailer plug on a pigtail so I can just get out and unplug it if it’s late. Most guys forget that one of the 7 way terminals on the trailer plug is reverse power.
We had virtually no snow in my part of NY. Hopefully it will stay like that till spring 😀
Wild! I heard parts of NY like buffalo & such have been getting railed with snow
I reckon your bucket was made InChina.
I’ve purchased kit like that.
Fxxxxxg frustrating.🇬🇧
Pretty nice of you to get your neighbor a free ham after he had to listen to the plowing.
My weather In new england there is snow on the ground but right now it's -17 below zero but the temps are going to be in the 40s in a few days.
Sounds pretty similar to here. I’m about ready for some warmer temps 🙏
Hello from the coast of NC love the snow as I am from NJ. Alas the temp will be 72 Friday.😔
Is the backup alarm required on the skid loader or just a precautionary "nice to have"?
The reason I ask is because you don't have one the pickup truck when each was being used for pretty much the same job.
Lol when you were in Walmart I was hoping you were gonna go to the hot wheels ile .. Super cool of you to look out for your neighbor. I live in NE Ohio. We haven't had any snow, just cold. It's sucks. I wish it would snow.
Nice to listen to neighbor's concern, but 10 PM isn't that late! We try to follow our city's anti-noise ordinance that goes from 11PM to 7AM.
for real!!!
No snow in Massachusetts I’m in central ma and we have only had 9” total all season 😢
Nice gesture in being a good neighbor. He sure didn’t argue about taking the Ham and had to put his two cents in on how he had to get his sleep. I think Cliff is just one of the neighbors that loves to jaw Jack about nothing. I’m from a small rural community where the grain bins run all night long. The farmers in the field 24/7 and you here them coming and going. In the winter you hear the snow plows running all night, guys on RTV, snowmobiles 24/7. Coyotes howling all night. It becomes white noise. Put your big boy pants on Cliff. Eat your free ham. It’ll be alright.
Great video, love watching !
Awesome content 👏 love that garage
The cutting edge for the bucket you can have both the bolted one you can change the cutting edge easier and one is a little more expensive than the other !! And on Friday the 3rd was doing -49 f it was a little chillier willy !!have a good one and god bless !!
Man, my neighbor can run all night if he brings me a ham!
We had sleet and freezing rain here in Western KY. Made the roads a skating rink for a few days. Had a system come through Monday night then another Tuesday night. Luckily Wednesday night it went south of us down in TN. Made a mess of things though.
Sleet and ice are the absolute worst. Stay safe out there 🙏
Depends if it was on a weekday or weekend. Was it the machine noise or beeper that was the problem. ? It was worse with my neighbors last year during COVID. They would work from home or isolated in place. Not so bad now that they go back to work early in the am....it's 13 below zero here in NH now. Suppose to be 44 degrees tomorrow.
It's pretty incredible the amount of snow you have thus yr.
You’re a good neighbor for getting him something as an apology
Over in southcentral pa we have had two minor snows. Miner as in 1in
We have 30 to 45 mph winds today an last night -35 to -45 windchills .dusting of snow blowing snow. Feb 3rd 2023. Here up by turtle mts in north dakota. 83 miles north of minot north dakota. Have oh probly 24 to 36 inches on the ground for the winter so far. Ditches full of snow. Crust on what is here. Which is good on our open praireies.
Just disable the backup alarm when doing night work? isnt that hard. but you had a nice neighbor that where understanding. ^^ another nice video!
Where I live quiet time isn’t till 11pm and people will routinely run their snowblowers and tractors with blowers up until that point in the night. I understand it can be frustrating but it needs to be cleaned at some point and many people don’t have the luxury of being home early in the day.
Love the videos
I live in SE NC and people here freak out with just the chance of snow , and 3 or 4 inches shuts everything down but we don’t see snow very often . In 1989 we got a record 18 inches and in the teens for several days , lots of frozen pipes that winter.
only at 10 o'clock, there's nothing they have to deal with but... the reversing alarm must meet its fate of death
In New Jersey we are not allowed to do make noise at residential properties when we are plowing snow with equipment beeping at night.
I bought that skid plow from you, just used it to plow my resort. Made a quick video on it for my channel😁 works great! I wanna put some wings on it
🙋🏼♂️ Sunny So.California. 70* 🌞 full moon for all 🌕
Southern mn here. Definitely more snow than previous years but it really tapered off at the end of December. Went out twice in January but I just do residential with a riding mower/blower.
I watch your show every so often. we received 4 inches and temp went down to minus 40 Celsius. any dampness before, then made everything turn to rock. oh sorry - saint john NB Canada.
I live in Houston Alaska Stan and we've been dealing with alot of snow also but it looks like you guys are dealing with a touch more.
A bunch here! I’d imagine alaska to be pretty snow too though
