Perhaps, the most advanced snowblower! Never heard of these guys but it seems like they have one upped everyone who makes a standard snowblower. Just the ability to cleanly backdrag is a game changer.
I've never bought a snowblower for my equipment because of the inability to scrape to the surface. This solves the scraping & backdragging issues for sure - well done.
We got one of these this winter, fantastic machine! Whoever they used as a shipper was garbage (it was someone other than Muskox), but it was worth the headaches. We've had a couple of minor hiccups (mostly operator error) and the folks at Muskox have gone above and beyond to take care of us! Can't say enough good things so far about the attachment and the company!
Having more fins on the impeller helps clear the snow through the chute faster and more efficiently. My push snow blower got wrecked last year, so when I rebuilt the impeller I made it w/4 fins. Now I can clear the same amount of snow with less load on the machine and it also throws farther.
Disclaimer---- NO dirt monkeys were hurt while riding on top of a Skidsteer in this video!!! Only dirt monkeys with years of experience should try this. That is one mean snowblower. Thanks 😇.
1 is he running it in high flow? 2 can you see the tilt indicator with the old SV cab? 3 the sound on the video makes it sound like it’s bogging down. That snow isn’t too deep. I would think you could go forward quite a bit faster.
It's a really nice machine but I'm not sold on the three stage. Three stage might be more versatile but less power for the blower, more moving parts and higher maintenance.
Most impressive, I love the track system Incorporated and would love to see what it would entail to remove and replace! The snow blower is almost orgasmic and what I like about the blower's is A, you got to place the snow where you want it and B, you're not incurring more wear and tear pushing the snow a second time. I think the downside might be the slower speeds compared to plows. Property damage and liability is definitely mitigated with this machine! Thanks bunches Stan, go get them and God bless, abundantly
I have been seeing advertisements for these and glad to see a video with information and use directly from the owners themselves. I have a few places I could use a blower, now just to justify the investment for my hobby to make winter more tolerable. Thank you for your videos.
I will say, when we have deep snow, a normal blower can’t get right up to the garage door, which can leave a fair amount of shoveling leftover. With the back drag feature, this unit would save some effort.
I was wondering what looked different about that skid steer. Now it makes a lot more sense. Hey Stan, growing up we had Artic Cat snowmobiles. Nothing says the north like snowmobile trails that pull into gas stations. Lol That blower looks absolutely amazing!!
That thing is pretty rad! My uncle outfitted a diesel Japanese 4x4 "kei" truck on 4 tracks and he bolted/welded two 36" blowers attached to a hydraulic lift for a plow. He's got them wired up to run simultaneously and its fully automated.
Dammit Stan, ya keep hooking me into these dang snow plow/brush etc videos. I’ve told ya, I don’t even live where I can use these machines, no snow, yet again I’m right here watching lmbo. Great work bud, keep ‘em coming.
Good to see some people from the Mentor area making it. When you live up here plowing isn’t a good option. When the wind blows you get socked in, blowing gives you a fighting chance to make it into March. Then the sun can melt it away.
Extremely well designed but a little slow to cut through all that heavy packed ice bound snow . I'm wondering whether the engine output limits the blowers performance. The ASV RX75 engine output might be the operating cieling envelope. If the output was increased by 25% ,would the blower's performance also increase?
Great question, You would have to make an adjustment and could make your own marks on there based on the job. Our operators don't necessarily need the leveling wheel after some practice.
If your in the business to clear snow in parking lots this is the machine blowing snow while back dragging feature is great the hydraulic feature that stops the auger when obstructed is excellent
That thing is a snowEATER!! I don't have $$ to drop on one, heck I don't even have a skidsteer but 13k is really reasonable, I was expecting him to say, 20 to 25k! VERY NICE MuskoX!! 👍👍
I did feel it bogged down quite a bit and is weird sounding. None of the tractor mounted shaft/chain drive blowers ive run have sounded like that. Im assuming that ASV has about the highest flow you can get hydro wise too. With the tractor you just up the RPM slow down a bid and keep on chugging. Seems like it almost stopped the blower dead on that thing. I was looking at a used skid blower for next year but im unsure after seeing this. Can anyone clear this up for me?
That 6 blade fan is awesome I want to see it on an RT-135 at 50 GPM …how many GPM can it handle, Or a T86 at 45 GPM looks like a great unit,probably have to buy one. Well I commented to early 50GPM that’s Awesome
Stan's reaction to it not having sheer pins was great. He was holding back a "are you fucking serious?" I feel like I'd be the one to break the hydraulic clutch feature. With a sheer pin, I just pop a new one in. This clutch thing breaks, it's weeks in a shop, expecting since there's only 400 out there being used so your local guy won't have these parts sitting around. If he can even fix the thing.
I was actually glad their weren’t sheer pins cause I think the hydraulic clutch is a much sturdier option. I also feel like it’s too soon to jump to conclusions about parts availability. I’ll keep you updated and informed as I use it, but I already put 40 hours cutting solid ice banks with this machine…that video will be out soon! The performance was kinda nuts.
Glad to see an extended video on this, seen the "short" on it...this is on my short lest of attachments. Although my Gravely XT with attached blower is very hard to beat.
Time will tell if this blower is, in fact, worth the $13k price tag. Prob gonna b about this time next year when this blower has proven itself or, failed. Stan has alot of snow to blow between now and then. Market this thing to the folk in the Sierra Nevada’s and Utah mountains. If their winter next year, is as bad as it has been this year, that would b a good test.
Omg stan. Your killing me. This blower as amazing. And when r u posting a full video on the arctic sectional truck plow. Like dam. I need to see that plow. I need to dam well own that plow. Come on man. Out with all the videos. I can't wait anymore.
@upallllnight oh yeah dude. Take a look at stans short videos. He posted it earlier today. And said at the end of a video last week that he was putting a plow on the ford truck made by the company that makes his favorite pusher. And of uve watch enough of his videos ull know his(and anyone who uses one) favorite pusher of all time is made by arctic sectional pushers.
Wow.. that back drag blow really makes this special. Never seen that before. I may adapt that plumb bob angle indicator idea to my bucket. I have a little RT-40 and wow, sold on ASV. So far a Grapple, Forks, Tiller, Trencher, Snow Blade. Never gets bad enough here for a blower like that in DC area. Next attachment may be an Auger.
So, can you float this and let it follow the grade bumps up and down a bit ? How about left to right. When you don't want to hard scape or chew up an undulating gravel dive ??
So about 3 years ago I bought a mk Martin inverted snow blower for the 3 point hitch on my tractor I only take care of my driveway/farmyard and a few driveways on my road. I showed it to my buddy the landscaper who has several condo complexeshe does driveways for and he replaced 3 trucks with tractors and snow blowers his guys can get within 2 inches of the garage doors and it proved more efficient than a truck plow in the complexes
Neat features but from the cheap seats it sounds like it is lugging down too often. Like you I think the system needs a strategically placed sheer pin or two if nothing else a good backup.
I've been following this company for 3 years. I'm in talks right now for one of these on my Rt120 but they're approaching 25-30k CAD and it seems pretty excessive. Maybe I'll wait until they get their dealer network up here.
Perhaps, the most advanced snowblower! Never heard of these guys but it seems like they have one upped everyone who makes a standard snowblower. Just the ability to cleanly backdrag is a game changer.
Exactly 👌
some of the best engineers are farmers. country boys. this story is no different.
I wasn’t expecting to be this blown away. Wow, what an attachment.
🙌
I've never bought a snowblower for my equipment because of the inability to scrape to the surface. This solves the scraping & backdragging issues for sure - well done.
That’s gotta be the best blower for a skid steer and it’s made by a father and son in the US. Can’t get any better than that.
Right 👍
Hey Stanley, you’ve been grinding out the content for a long time man. Congrats on approaching 1M. You’ll be there soon
Much appreciated brother 🙏
Awesome. Definitely going on the wishlist.
❄❤
We got one of these this winter, fantastic machine! Whoever they used as a shipper was garbage (it was someone other than Muskox), but it was worth the headaches.

Great to hear that you are enjoying your machine! Thank you for the kind words, glad we are able to help! ❄
What kind of hiccups?
Having more fins on the impeller helps clear the snow through the chute faster and more efficiently. My push snow blower got wrecked last year, so when I rebuilt the impeller I made it w/4 fins. Now I can clear the same amount of snow with less load on the machine and it also throws farther.
Disclaimer---- NO dirt monkeys were hurt while riding on top of a Skidsteer in this video!!! Only dirt monkeys with years of experience should try this. That is one mean snowblower. Thanks 😇.
the monkey lives another day and doesnt complain about the tropical weather either , he might just prefer the shovel in the bucket
Should the dirt monkey from now to be called the snow monkey?
OSHA did pop into my thoughts for a brief moment wondering about PPEs and I had to laugh!
1 is he running it in high flow?
2 can you see the tilt indicator with the old SV cab?
3 the sound on the video makes it sound like it’s bogging down. That snow isn’t too deep. I would think you could go forward quite a bit faster.
3. Not enough horsepower
It's a really nice machine but I'm not sold on the three stage. Three stage might be more versatile but less power for the blower, more moving parts and higher maintenance.
Most impressive, I love the track system Incorporated and would love to see what it would entail to remove and replace!

Thanks bunches Stan, go get them and God bless, abundantly
That machine is awesome. Thanks for sharing Stan.
You betcha 😊👊
I have been seeing advertisements for these and glad to see a video with information and use directly from the owners themselves. I have a few places I could use a blower, now just to justify the investment for my hobby to make winter more tolerable. Thank you for your videos.
Very Well Designed , Snow Blower 👍 Alot Of Testing And Technology Invested In This Awesome Snow Blower, Also Love That ASV 😊
Couldn’t have said it better 👊
I will say, when we have deep snow, a normal blower can’t get right up to the garage door, which can leave a fair amount of shoveling leftover. With the back drag feature, this unit would save some effort.
Agreed 👍👍👍
100%! Thanks for checking us out!
I was wondering what looked different about that skid steer. Now it makes a lot more sense.
Hey Stan, growing up we had Artic Cat snowmobiles. Nothing says the north like snowmobile trails that pull into gas stations. Lol
That blower looks absolutely amazing!!
Wow , fantastic snow blower. Fantastic video !
So Wise ,Thank You For showing another fine Minnesota Company.
That thing is pretty rad! My uncle outfitted a diesel Japanese 4x4 "kei" truck on 4 tracks and he bolted/welded two 36" blowers attached to a hydraulic lift for a plow. He's got them wired up to run simultaneously and its fully automated.
Stan is always bringing the best stuff
Now that's 1 awesome mechanic, wish I had that back in Montana. 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
That is a very impressive snow blower.
This equipment was something that I've been waiting for someone to built.👍👍👍👍
Dammit Stan, ya keep hooking me into these dang snow plow/brush etc videos. I’ve told ya, I don’t even live where I can use these machines, no snow, yet again I’m right here watching lmbo. Great work bud, keep ‘em coming.
Hahah thanks for making it back anyways 👊
Good ole Arctic Cat. I am from Red Lake Falls just south of them and had lots of friends and family work for them. - And race for them.
This thing is awesome! I love hearing that asv machine! Happy friday, my friend! Wishing you a great weekend!
Thanks buddy hope you have a good one yourself
Maybe a few more ponies on the skid steer?? Never was a fan of drive chains on equipment in the frigid winters, but Ill take one!!!!
Brilliant. Articulation and backdragging are phenomenal.....no shear pins??? 🤯
I live in Fl, grew up in Mich. All I can say is I want one! This is cool as heck.
Good to see some people from the Mentor area making it. When you live up here plowing isn’t a good option. When the wind blows you get socked in, blowing gives you a fighting chance to make it into March. Then the sun can melt it away.
Now that's a good skid-steer snow-blower. Those cutting edges are mean and look perfect for the ice.
I miss MN almost year I been back Michigan MN is beautiful state. Love video keep um coming God Bless
It’s been a winter wonderland lately!
Awesome machine, the real question is did you buy one?
Cool info about ASV as well, glad you questioned Ron on that.
Extremely well designed but a little slow to cut through all that heavy packed ice bound snow . I'm wondering whether the engine output limits the blowers performance.
The ASV RX75 engine output might be the operating cieling envelope.
If the output was increased by 25% ,would the blower's performance also increase?
Very innovative piece of equipment, one question though. How will going up or down hills and/or inclines through off the gravity indicators accuracy?
Great question, You would have to make an adjustment and could make your own marks on there based on the job. Our operators don't necessarily need the leveling wheel after some practice.
I built a snowblower that as I blow the snow it immediately turns into perfectly formed snowmen as it falls. Now that's advanced!!
Just me or does that blower need more HP behind it. Seemed like it was really bogging down the ASV
wow that is a neat setup.these guys are real engineers
Edgar Hettens grandson currently is an engineer for polaris and races their snowmobiles all over minnesota.
It is winter and nice to see new ventures coming along.
If your in the business to clear snow in parking lots this is the machine
blowing snow while back dragging feature is great
the hydraulic feature that stops the auger when obstructed is excellent
It seems slow compared to a tractor with a Cyclone. Is it a lack of power from the hydraulics? The ASV sounded like it was really struggling.
Agreed. Not enough flow to keep that big of a blower fed.
That thing is a snowEATER!!
I don't have $$ to drop on one, heck I don't even have a skidsteer but 13k is really reasonable, I was expecting him to say, 20 to 25k! VERY NICE MuskoX!! 👍👍
Me too. Not bad especially for the price at all 👌
I also thought 20-25k. Not a bad price if youre already spending 70-100k on a new ASV lol
I did feel it bogged down quite a bit and is weird sounding. None of the tractor mounted shaft/chain drive blowers ive run have sounded like that. Im assuming that ASV has about the highest flow you can get hydro wise too. With the tractor you just up the RPM slow down a bid and keep on chugging.

😂👍
Probably the coolest snow blowing attachment I’ve ever seen……👍 the throwing of the snow your back dragging feature is so helpful.
You should put a link in your description with their website.
YES!!! I want to buy one. Where can I locate where it's at to buy it?
Coolest snow blower iv seen! 👍✌️
Stan's reaction to it not having sheer pins was great. He was holding back a "are you fucking serious?" I feel like I'd be the one to break the hydraulic clutch feature. With a sheer pin, I just pop a new one in. This clutch thing breaks, it's weeks in a shop, expecting since there's only 400 out there being used so your local guy won't have these parts sitting around. If he can even fix the thing.

I’ll keep you updated and informed as I use it, but I already put 40 hours cutting solid ice banks with this machine…that video will be out soon! The performance was kinda nuts.
sound like it could use more power on the engine.how many hp does it have?
What a great machine. This is the best exemple of men building and creating instant of fighting for no freaking reason.
Wish I had a snowblower like that
Maybe you will one day 👍
One of my goals
Glad to see an extended video on this, seen the "short" on it...this is on my short lest of attachments. Although my Gravely XT with attached blower is very hard to beat.
Pretty gnarly 😎👊
great machine and great video
Stanley, why are you making me contemplate buying this? This thing looks absolutely amazing.
Love it! Some real innovation!
Thats a sweet unit for sure !!
I love it 😎
Time will tell if this blower is, in fact, worth the $13k price tag. Prob gonna b about this time next year when this blower has proven itself or, failed. Stan has alot of snow to blow between now and then.
Market this thing to the folk in the Sierra Nevada’s and Utah mountains. If their winter next year, is as bad as it has been this year, that would b a good test.
Now that,s a snow blower wham bang, Stan-- hope you got yourself one of these puppies
Omg stan. Your killing me. This blower as amazing.
And when r u posting a full video on the arctic sectional truck plow. Like dam. I need to see that plow. I need to dam well own that plow. Come on man. Out with all the videos. I can't wait anymore.
arctic sectional truck plow?

Well done guys! Very impressive!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us!
No problem! Thanks for being here
As always awesome content thanks for your time to do this video very informative and very big fan of your channel
More horse power needed for that blower.
i heard this snow blower is a big game changer
Wow.. that back drag blow really makes this special. Never seen that before. I may adapt that plumb bob angle indicator idea to my bucket. I have a little RT-40 and wow, sold on ASV. So far a Grapple, Forks, Tiller, Trencher, Snow Blade. Never gets bad enough here for a blower like that in DC area. Next attachment may be an Auger.
Who can see that plumb gauge in real time blizzard conditions 🤔
Edgar Hetteen. I read his life story a few years back. Great book.
The inventor of Polaris left Polaris and invented Arctic Cat.
Much nicer than stand behind , warm , comfortable and easier to drive
Great, now I want one..
Enjoyed the top view,great Information
Cool beans
You can also get poly cutting edges for your snowplows. No more scratched driveways.
Beautiful machine. Thanks for sharing.
Cool history tie in on Artic Cat! Interesting to learn that. Thanks Folks!!!
So, can you float this and let it follow the grade bumps up and down a bit ? How about left to right. When you don't want to hard scape or chew up an undulating gravel dive ??
I’ve seen you tube videos of this beast.
Looks badass!
Sure is 👌
It's cool for sure, but it isn't clear to me what skid steers it is compatible with. I did look around on the web site.
Enjoyed the top view. Great information
Glad you liked it!!
How much horse power in the tracked skid steer used? I'm 86 hp.
what about California snow where we measure it in yards, not inches? Say you have a 9’ berm you gotta chew through, will this machine handle it?
Man this is COOL!
😎👊
# 1 how much does this snow blower cost? #2 Doing a ride-along IS NOT SAFE!!!!!
So about 3 years ago I bought a mk Martin inverted snow blower for the 3 point hitch on my tractor I only take care of my driveway/farmyard and a few driveways on my road. I showed it to my buddy the landscaper who has several condo complexeshe does driveways for and he replaced 3 trucks with tractors and snow blowers his guys can get within 2 inches of the garage doors and it proved more efficient than a truck plow in the complexes
That is an awesome blower!
hell of a presentation adam.
Dirt Monkey can rock with the snow as well. Great video, thanks.
Very nice piece of equipment but how affordable is it. That skid steer with that attachment I would guess is over 200,000 dollars?
The Compact track loader is about $70-80 K and I think the blower attachment is $13K
This is a cool creation.
I would be interested in attaching this to one of our CAT 289-299 platforms?...
Neat features but from the cheap seats it sounds like it is lugging down too often. Like you I think the system needs a strategically placed sheer pin or two if nothing else a good backup.
@Victory outdoor services Ryan should get this. 🙏🙏🙏💪❤️🇮🇱🇺🇦🙏🙏
Is there Going to be a Unit for the Home Owner, at reduced Price $$ 🙏
OMG! Stanley said' EXTREE!!!" 14:02; My dad said that, too!; I don't know why: I don't know why
Did you bring this to cali?? 2023? at leat 15 feet of snow
I have an old craftsman driftbreaker snowblower from the late 60s that's built like that with that top augers and it's all chain driven, no belts
I like the back drag feature.
It sure is easier than shoveling!!
My concern is the open roller chain and sprockets for the second auger. Better have an extra chain and master link in the cab or support truck.
Get out your bicycles boys. Time to practice putting your chains on!
We've been running ours in some pretty nasty crap and gotten some stuff stuck with no chain issues. Time will tell!
We have had very few issues w/the chain. Also have a stronger, tighter chain system in development!!
What a great idea. I like the gauge indicator, I need to watch my discharge chute on my Erskine to judge my approach angles
I've been following this company for 3 years. I'm in talks right now for one of these on my Rt120 but they're approaching 25-30k CAD and it seems pretty excessive. Maybe I'll wait until they get their dealer network up here.
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
Really nice equipment!
How does the explosed chain drive hold up?
