      They obviously haven't driven a 4wd tractor in deep snow. Can you lock a differential, or drag 1 wheel brake slightly to get power to more than 2 wheels? Get those chains on. A small tractor doesn't weigh enough to get traction without chains( front and rear chains are best!).

      @@MountainBeaches I don't know what your definition of expensive is but a rear blower facing backwards is cheap IMO. If you're looking for a front mount blower or rear inverted blower they are a lot more expensive. Plus, you seem to be very gentle with the tractor but a plow on the loader arms isn't the best combination. You can bend the loader arms fairly easily.

    Way to keep with it. Chains are usually better, but as you said, if they were new then try what you know. Well done! Also when you were in the ditch, it looked like you were were turning your front wheels too sharply where they were sliding and not helping. But I do agree that chains are probably the best approach.

    Does your tractor have diff lock? Mine had it under your right heel, step on it and it gave better traction also if your blade has power angle you can put it down on the ground and use the hydraulic angle to push yourself backwards little by little, time consuming yes but doable. We look forward to your videos.

Also a lot easier to put on when it is dry and warmer. All in the learning process. Your are doing great.

  • @peternm4883
    @peternm4883 11 місяців тому

    Congrats on getting unstuck! When this happens again (and it will) try this. Place the truck in front of the tractor in the middle of the road in 4WD Low. Put a tow rope (longer than what you have) on the left rear wheel. Brake the front wheel (left or both). Pulling will rotate the tractor back on the road. If you purchase another rope you might want to condider one of the kinetic ropes (works like a bungee cord and multiplies you pulling power with a firm yank). We're in a drought now in New Mexico, but when we used to get serious snow (we're at 7,000 ft altitude) this worked great. Love your channel! Good luck!

    Hey Norm. Wouldn’t the Snow Markers help with guiding you when you have those massive amounts of snow so that you know exactly how close you can get to the drainage easements? I’ve seen lawn care and snow removal companies in Northern Ohio use them to mark curbing and drainage ditch lines because of the heavy Lake effect snow they get from Lake Erie. You put them out before snow season and collect them back up in spring. Just a thought. Great video! I just love Eagle Ridge! Y’all could not have chosen a more beautiful piece of property.

    My guy...that one was difficult to watch. If one is plowing snow in Idaho, please GO FASTER. Once you begin to move the snow the momentum you gather will keep the snow flying. I was a large Kubota tractor owner with a 200 yard driveway in snow country. The faster I went the more snow I threw with minimal berming. Also, I am guessing that your Yanmar does not have a locking rear differential. I was ready to jump in my truck and come help...but I do not think your videos are to date. 😂😂😂 love the content and wish I had bought up north on property. Living in a neighborhood in SW idaho is great, but I am am outdoorsman and love it up north. Love you guysand your content!

      Absolutely. I’m almost afraid to admit it but I forgot to put the differential lock in place until the end. My bad and newness with the tractor. Won’t make either of those mistakes this winter. Thanks!

    Always put the chains on when winter comes. Leave them on till spring. This would not have even happened. Thanks for sharing

    A yankum rope and learn how to use it properly and be way more aggressive with the truck.

    Norm, I agree with everyone above about chains but....the whole time I was see her try and pull you out I was thinking...
    Why don't you get yourselves a Yankum Rope from your Idajo neighbor. They're manufactured in idaho and probably built just for your conditions. Since you have such a popular youtube channel, he might even give you a set. He does for everyone else on youtube. Good luck.

    Your problem was ignorance in the operation of your tractor !!! Most good tractors have a rear differential lock, a pedal on the floor to step on to lock both rear wheels together so they both get power, ALL the time you only had one rear wheel spinning, check your tractor and READ the owners manual to learn where the pedal is, makes all the difference in the world. Also when backing and you need a push use your front end loader curl back as far as you can lower frt loader, and as you start backing use the front curl to push back, should work even with the blade, but use your chains and even chains on the front tires, you also might want to invest in one of these new snatch tow straps that have some give and use the momentum of the truck to snatch it out, back, get some slack and gun it, and the momentum of the truck is more than the traction.

    Snow is beautiful to look at. But... nasty for living in.
    Surprised you didn't alrwady have chains on the tractor & that after your 1st trek up the driveway after your Hawaii trip, you didn't put uo snow markers.
    Lessons learned!
    Last lesson >> be a snowbird next year so you don't have to deal with all the snow challenges & so you stay well & healthy. Do NOT want to see y'all with any ❤ or other cardio issues caused by your snow doings.
