- Snow blowing. L series Kubota clearing snow from the first storm of the winter. I use the L series Kubota to blow snow from my driveway and my neighbors driveway. This was the first significant snowfall of the winter here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The temperature was mild causing the snow to be very wet and heavy. #kubotatractor #winterstorm #uppermichigan
Always impressed when a person uses the proper tool for a job. Good vid
Thank you. The tractor and blower work well for what I need to get done.
That's a really nice piece of machinery Mike! Gotta love that! Neighbors sure appreciate you! Thanks for sharing ✊ have a great weekend!
Thanks Derek.I really like this set up for snow removal.
Wow is that snow ever wet and heavy 😳 Kubota working really hard in that ❄ snow
Yep just gotta take it slow when it's that heavy.
Mike your lucky , in my days pushing snow use 988 , 950 , 920 cat loader for pushing snow . In the big land we get 6’ to 15’ a snow fall . ALL THE BEST IN 2023 and in good health to everyone.
Thanks Leonard.
hi there something about snow blowers fun to watch john
Thanks John
Your a good neighbor Mike ! Helping the neighbors out 👍
Thanks Andre. She's a good neighbor and I'm glad I can help. Plus it's more tractor time for me and that's a bonus in my mind 😃
Thanks for sharing this Mike. Practical use of good equipment goes a long way. Thanks for lookin' out for your neighbor too!!
Thanks Tom
Great ride along vid. I can’t wait to try mine out- just got an L5460HSTC with front blower. That pretty much guarantees that we get a mild winter😂
That is definitely the way to keep the snow away for the winter 🤣
Mike nice snowblowing video. We have a snow blower at the farm. It hooks up to our 3 point hitch! We havent had to use it in the last 3 years due to llack of Heavy snow fall! Great job blowing snow. It helps whhen melting using the blower over blade. Neighbor helping Neighbor is what it is all about! I bet your Neighbor appreciates it greatly.
I really like the blower over the blade because it allows you to put the snow where you want it. She's a great neighbor and we help each other out when we can.Thanks Craig.
Hey Mike! I just love your snow blowing videos, so cool! Thanks for sharing, great job! -Brad
Hey Brad. I thought of you when I was editing this video!
I'm from Northern Michigan too! I like ur channel !👍Soo Michigan !👍
Looks like you did a pretty good job of clearing snow, getting ready for the next one
Thanks Oldtimer. You need to be ready all the time around here! Thanks for being here I appreciate it.
Hi Mike! That's a really, really nice setup you have. One - the cab on a tractor blowing snow is a must!! Two - that two stage throws that snow plenty far enough that you won't have to deal with it ever again. Just a great setup! Thanks for sharing. Take care! WST
Hey WST thanks. The cab is really nice when blowing in extreme temperatures. Thanks for stopping by Mike.
Definently looks like the blower is the way to go for you!! Makes quick work of a lot of snpw and dpes a great job. Of course the operator is a hugebpart of the qualuty of the finish product too. Gotta love winter.... STAY SAFE Mike!!
Thanks Travis. The tractor and blower definitely makes blowing snow enjoyable
@@Lifeinthe906 yea im sure. Ive never ran a blower on a tractor. Moved a lot of snow with box plows buckets and blades though. The blpwer woulda been nice in a lot of those places. The cab sure males it better too. My skiddy is open. -20 isnt fun plowing lol.
@@307j.o.a.t9 Yeah the cab is a game changer! Heat radio and a cup holder!!
You look like your having so much fun
It is a lot of fun with the tractor 😃 Thanks for watching Amanda
Great work, Mike! Great camera perspective from inside the cab as well. You guys really know how to handle your snow up there! 👍💪
Thanks John. Ya gotta be prepared for the white stuff in this neck of the woods. Take care my friend.
Nice job helping out the neighbours like that, fair exchange is no robbery.....
Thanks Honda .!
Nothing better then good neighbors 👍👏🚜🥃
Good neighbors are priceless!
Nice to have the right equipment on hand to be able to do the job and help out others at the same time..😊👍
Thanks Daniel
Really like your video , just found your channel, I have a L series Kubota and I live in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia just north of Washington State, now I have my snow blower mounted on the rear and a snow blade on the front. Reason ,I have a 600 ft driveway steep uphill with a switch back. When we get a good snow like today I plow downhill first pass then blow the rest. You have to note that the change in elevation from the bottom of my driveway is 300 ft lower than our top parking by the house. I snow blower on the front is great but the snow blade on the front in the beginning of the snow season does not throw rocks everywhere. so I blade for the first while and when she freezes up good then I blow it all a way. I also have to chain up all four wheels.
You did a great job.
Hey Bruce . Welcome to my channel. I have some gravel in my driveway and I usually pack the first couple inches of snow we get to avoid relocating it into the woods. Thanks for watching.
Another good video buddy. I miss the northern michigan snow storms. Hey have a great weekend and thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
Good Day Mike. Thanks for the snow prep. The weatherman is calling for a Blizzard here in Eastern Massachusetts on Saturday. 1-2 feet of snow up to 60 mph winds. I hope they are wrong. Looks like fun. Be safe!
Oh man thats some crazy weather!! Stay safe out there!!
Got to love the heated cab.. after many years of Open Stage tractors I'm really enjoying mine. Enjoyed the video
The heated cab is great. The main reason for buying this tractor was for snow removal. Of course it has a ton of uses on the property. Thanks for watching
You can tell that stuff was heavy, that engine really bogged down sometimes. But she got the job done, sure beats a shovel 😆
Hey Logan. It sure was heavy . Thanks for watching.
👍👍👍
Good dumping there brother!!
Yes sir ! The first of many I'm sure. Thanks for watching Andrew
Really nice of you to help out the your neighbor. I could use a toy like that up at my property. I feel like I'm in the snow belt of the UP, we've got almost 20 inches of snow. That's to early for that much snow for us.
Early snow usually means a long winter!! We will see if that's true
@@Lifeinthe906 I hear you.
I see BIGFOOT tracks in the snow! 👣🤣
Haha you might have 🤣🤣
If you weren't in a heated cab I say I feel sorry for you. But you are so I won't. My "heated cab" is whatever I'm wearing. Not a problem until the wind blows the snow back in my face. Why don't you come to my place and clean out the driveway? It's only about 800- 1000 miles.
Good video as long as I'm in the warm house watching it.
Dave
Dave thanks for watching from the comfort of your warm house. We bought the tractor for two specific reasons. Clearing snow and collecting sap to make maple syrup. So the cab was a priority. Merry Christmas
Very cool video , that tractor make clean up pretty nice . It doesn’t snow like that here .
Thanks Del!
Fellow yooper here also. This winter hasn't been too bad I don't think. My driveway is about as long as yours but I use a 31 year old Craftsman tractor with a berco snowblower to clean it. I do have a cab on the tractor and a mr buddy heater for it. Works great but do wish I had a little bigger tractor.
Hey Eric. More horsepower is always a good thing. Thanks for watching
@@Lifeinthe906 my Craftsman has a 18 horsepower Briggs and Stratton opposed twin engine. It does surprisingly well. I have yet to kill it blowing deep drifts. I live in the wide open so I get drifts bad here. Yeah more horsepower would be nice but it's hard to give up on something that has been super reliable since 06 when I got it used.
My drive is 2/10ths mile out to county maintained road. A blower like that would be a great piece of equipment to have. I just have a open tractor and blade. Nice vid.
The blower is a great asset to have for sure.
Just found your channel ! *Awesome* video ! Thanks for shooting it ! That was some heavy snow ! Really enjoyed that, it was relaxing. This sort of video is becoming so popular with the Kubota gang here on TH-cam. Subbed and liked ! Thanks ! 🙂
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
G’morn’n Mike, sure is a nice rig you have there.
We do commercial snow removal here in The Deep South of Michigan. We use walk behind blowers for sidewalks. The blowers obviously do a much tidier job than a plow and it’s a service I’d love to offer to our higher end clients.
However our residential drives are so scattered that it wouldn’t be practical for us.
Sure is ideal for your application though😎
Bless’ns to ya my good man!
Good morning Tedd. The best part of the blower is NO snowbanks. Thanks for stopping by the 906 this morning.
Sure beats a shovel !
That for sure Bruce!
I Like your channel ,did a good job showing snow clean up. Takes commitment to take time video this after a 12 hour day at work. Most anyone else would just get driveway open and head in the house. Found your channel after firewood frenzy.
What is your day job?
Thanks cut 4 fun. I work for the local power company.
👋
Hey Eddy
Hi Mike!!😀😀
Having a blower on the Kubota is the only way to go. That baby really moves the snow nicely!!
Are you guys in the snow belt up there were you get a bunch of lake affect snow?
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
Yes sir lake effect is the name of the game here.
Sure is nice to have a cab, especially when you have a blower.p
Hey Harry. The cab is awesome when blowing snow.
Just found this channel, sweet video. Which area in the yoop are you in? We ride a lot of snowmobile up that way, mostly in the keweenaw from mass city to Houghton.
Welcome to the channel! I'm in the Marquette area.
So what was in the letter ' Just another bill
or was it something good ' maybe a Xmas card with some cabbage in it.
Haha 😄 Just another bill!! Thanks for watching Keith
Can't agree with you more about money changing hands I've always been the type with horse Trading... normally works out for both parties.. and kind of gives you a good feeling... kind of the old school way of doing things
I agree. Seems to work well.
Hi Mr.906 I have a question when you use the rear blade on your tractor I see you had the curve side to the rear tires dose it work better that way I'm new looking for a little help or advice.
I use it that way to pull snow from door openings
At last, some one man enough to measure the snowfall and not guess it to be twice as much as it is. 6 1/2", better than nothing.
Thanks Gary
Sounds like you need more HP to run that blower it really bogs down
It does alright. Never can have enough hp.Thanks for watching
Sorry about that, seeing snow coming out of the chute is kinda boring. Best shot were of using the plow, but overall, bit and pieces and no results really showing, backing in the garage without clearing the front of it even. It a start...
Thanks for watching Denis. Have a great day!
How does that snow blower work is it hydraulic driven or pro driven
Hey Larry. The auger is driven by a mid pto. The chute and up and down function is hydraulic.
Snow can be work! Nice to be able to blow the neighbors out (for the mower). Leave the mailbox snowed in….they can keep their bills 😂🤣😂
Haha thanks Dave!
How much did the whole tractor cost you?
We bought it used about 10 years ago. I think it is a 2004 model. Somewhere around 20k is what we paid. It came with the loader,front blower,rear weight box, and a 3 point mounted wood splitter
Nice work with the Kubota L. I noticed you are running only front wheel chains, how is this working for you as opposed to chains on all 4? I have a 4060L and debating whether to buy chains and if I do, whether I should start with only a single pair and see how it goes.
Hey Chris. We went with the front only because of clearance concerns on the rear. I've heard if you want them on the rear you need to install wheel spacers to clear the fenders.The front chains seem to work pretty well on their own.
This storm collapsed my tarp shed.
If you knew someone with a sawmill you could build a better shed!!!
cant believe u plowed the neighboor lady
What size L-series is your kabota?
3430
Thank you, very nice rig!
Ya i was noticing people driving stupid fast in ur vids. Selfish people these days.
Man it's crazy how fast they travel on that road.
