Canadian Mom Clearing Snow with a Pronovost Inverted Snowblower

- Hey all!
I'm a mom with a husband who travels out of province for work. While he's away, I'm left to do the heavy lifting when it comes to chores. We recently had a little storm and I needed to clear some snow. We used a plow on a older Chevy in the past, but we spoiled ourselves and got an inverted blower. There's not that many in my area, so naturally, people were curious and somewhat skeptical. I made this video to explain why we chose this kind of blower and to show why I think the Pronovost inverted blower is awesome!

Good game out there mom!!
Very beautiful the snow and tractor also
Deans a lucky man ❤️ awesome video dear
Great job, be safe and great video
Thanks!
Good job ! and good idea on the metal screen -
Thanks! Those cab windows aren't cheap!
Great job, and great video.. I must admit, I was chuckling in the beginning when you were making the semi-panic faces.
Thanks! Laugh away! 😁
@@chris.tine_b_ It was still a good video.
Keep it up!
Look at you go! I've read many of the comments with interest as I've not heard of a rear mounted inverted snowblower that works driving forward. Many great comments and replies about the tractor and blower, but the first thing I noticed is you, the operator. Head on a swivel, and eyes always watching everything! That's the way I am as well when cutting and baling hay, etc. Great video, thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Love snow blowing videos ,I have an 8 foot back up blower and no cab on my blower tractor .
Cool! Must get cold in storms eh?
Soo Greyhounds that's awesome, I live in the Sault. Did a great job.
Thanks dude!
Good job on the snow clearing with the inverted blower. As long as you can drive through the amount of snow you need to clear with the tractor, they are really hard to beat for the number of advantages they offer over the regular tractor snowblowers.
Thanks! Yeah, they're pretty awesome!
I find this interesting since I'm 57 years old and now have the same Erskine snowblower when I was a kid on my tractor. It's 3 point and you drive forward blowing.
That's awesome!
Glad to see your not intimidated by the big machine. Nice job figuring it out and I appreciate the video of your experience. Not edited for perfection... “bump”...lol.
Dean might want to be home for a snow or two. :-) Not always working.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I'll show it all, no use being prideful right?
Pretty awesome job
Thanks!
I use the bucket sometimes but don't like to leave banks catch s the snow next storm like your blower ,I have a backup one 7 ft wide
I’d be interested in seeing more of these videos. There’s not many out there.
Thanks! I can certainly try making more. What kind of videos would you like to see?
Christine B A pros and cons video of the inverted style of blower, any issues you’ve had, how long does it take to blow your long driveway.
@@Onthebluffs Those are excellent suggestions! I'll have to keep this in mind when the snow comes. Thanks for the ideas 😊
Check out nick bohner Owns a snow removal company in Stratford and London Ontario. Has a lot of great informative videos on equipment
Fabulous job!!
Thanks!
Must be a pro this year
@@mp3625 there's no snow! Lol
Great tractor!
Thanks!
love your channel
Thank you!
Cool
Ottimo lavoro 👍💯🔝💪
Thanks for the video, we were debating on a mid mount PTO for a front mount or an inverted blower. Definitely not going to be using a rear facing blower. Like you, i have about half a kilometre of driveway to do. The advantage is that you can face forward and comfortably see where you are going and you still have your bucket should your require it. Thanks for answering the main question, “Doesn’t it pack down the snow?” Having seen one of these inverted units up close, I don’t know how you not be able to clear the snow that your tires have compressed. If you see any other Pros/Cons, please let us know. The difference between a front mount and an inverted is about $8,000
Glad the video could help! We thought about a font blower but loss of the bucket is what made us go inverted. Last winter was our second year with it and it has no issues cutting through packed snow/ice. I'm really glad we went with it!
Nice!
Smart person, instructions everyone needs them. Can’t be an expert at everything. There is no job that is a mans or woman’s job, they are just chores period. East or north of Sault, I assume with hounds toque. Was wondering how it does in deeper snow falls.
Absolutely! This is an older video but those instructions were definitely helpful to learn the basics. I 100% agree that chores are chores. We share 'em all here!
I'm actually on the east coast but it does awesome with the dumps we get here. I find that it's pretty similar to the Soo though.
so how dose the tracer handle? great video merry christmas
Pretty good!
I'm looking at a Pronovost PUMP-64-IV inverted blower for a Kioti CK2610. Does your blower have adjustable shoes? I'll be on gravel & don't want to throw rocks. Great Video BTW
The blade is adjustable.
Great job using a very unique snowblower. My first time seeing this type of blower. One inquiry though what is the model number of the Mccormick tractor, lovely engine sound. The arm of the hydraulic loader is partially covering the number. Thanks if could tell me! Have a nice day!
X421. It's an amazing machine!
Thanks for the information Christine, I am a enthusiast for technical facts. Love to see more videos of the tractor and blower in action. Have a nice day!
No worries! Hopefully I'll be able to post more since winter is upon us!
@@chris.tine_b_ Thanks for fast reply. One thing is the tractor series number 430? The model number on the hydraulic loader then is 421? The tractor hood shows a 30 in the video.
The tractor power would about 70 horsepower. Thanks I am enjoying your biking videos.
@@christopherrogers86 I had to go check but you are correct. The tractor is an X4.30. Thank you! With the winter months ahead, I'm sure there will be lots more now that I have time to put them together 😁
Interesting setup, I haven’t seen one like this before. Do you float the attachment when use it, or does it tend to ride up and over packed snow if you do? Thanks for posting, and stay warm.
No worries! It cuts in the packed ice. You can angle the attachment but if the blade is too aggressive, it'll pull it down even further.
Some of them are equipped with an additional down pressure cylinder. I like the safety screening installed so you don't end up tossing a rock through your cab glass.
Ya handle that tractor like a champ..you go girlfriend!!!
Thanks! 😁
@@chris.tine_b_ All I have is a snow shovel....bummer
Hahahahaaaa! We had a plow on an old chev before. It was pretty much just a notch over the shovel, and I had to shovel 'er out often! 😂
Pronovost make good gear but personally I prefer their PXPL line over the inverted .
Awesome hat from soo.mi.
Thanks but it's Soo ont thought 😁
Thanks for posting. Enjoyed it. What Province are you in?
Thank you! I'm on the east coast.
Hi, I have pine trees along my driveway. Do you think the force of the blower will damage the trees and take off bark?
So what if it does? If the trees are that close to cause damage they don't belong there.
You can shoot the snow higher if needed
What is that mesh screen for?
It's so that ice and rocks don't hit the back window
nice hat Go Hounds great video thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Is it front mountable also ?
No, back only.
Still nice !
@@jsimm4587 Thanks!
@@chris.tine_b_ back only huh lol
Chill little one chill and be as one with the machine 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Hahaha 😁✌
moi je te leve mon chapeau pour avoir conduit le tracteur pour aider ton homme ......
Merci! Mais c'est pas pour aider mon homme, c'est pour que j'peuve sortir de ma cours 😊
Ahah dans ce cas ça te prends juste un Subaru :p
Seen these blowers before. Wouldn't work well for me as I'd have to drive over deep snow
We get nasty snow dumps and I haven't had any issues at all.
@@chris.tine_b_ a larger tractor helps
For sure! I don't think anything smaller would work too well.
