- I roll out early morning with the Kubota B2601 Compact Tractor and B2782B Snowblower to take advantage of the serenity of the forest. Grab a coffee, sit back and come along down the driveway through the forest with me, up at the cottage, here in the outdoors. Cheers!

That looks like pure enjoyment!
A great way to spend the early morning. No wind. No sounds. Thanks for watching and for the comment - have a great weekend. Cheers!
Good morning GP,
I've had plenty of opportunity to move snow lately. For some reason though, it always seems more enjoyable to watch someone else do it!
Thank you Sir, for the very relaxing start to my day. Peace.
LOL HH! It does sometimes for sure HH. But on a peaceful morning and with no wind for a change, that's my sweet spot. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for tuning in and saying Hi!
Wish I was closer,still no snow to blow,nice to watch you having Kubota time!
Good morning and thanks Mike. Was a beautiful morning. Soon! Be well!
love the camera work, and the subject matter. very empowering videos
Good morning and thanks Phillip! I am glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
G P enjoying your video as you say grab coffee and watch that what we are doing
God Bless
PaK
And a good morning to you too Peter! Thanks for watching and for saying hi! Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers!
Good morning gp thats a beautiful
Live over there im canada the snow the silence and on top traktor driving .
And a good morning to you too Michael! Yes, was a beautiful, calm morning and enjoyed the morning tractor run. Cheers!
We're suppose to have one feet of snow tomorrow. Can't wait to play in the snow guess your video gonna keep me waiting.
Morning Teddy! I am waiting for a good deep snow still. We have only had about 8-10 inches so far so cannot wait for a huge one so I can get out and really work the tractor! Have fun tomorrow !!
Music to my ears,ty for sharing
You are most welcome Mighty Moe! Thanks for watching!
Nice video as always! This is a very nice setup for your driveway. I could not see you driving in reverse 2.6km with a rear snow blower !!!
LOL Joe! You and me both. I think I would be heading straight for the chiropractor. Cheers and enjoy the weekend!
That is a fun way to start out the day. How does the tractor start in the cold? Do you use a block heater?
Good morning Roger. Yes sir. I always use the block heater. I usually plug it in after I get up and put the coffee on. That way it is on for an hour or 2 before I need to start it up. Starts up every time right away. Have a good one!
Where are you generally located? Helps to bring context to things.
Good day Mike. I am in central Ontario, near a place called Algonquin Park. Cheers!
Maybe a set of chains on the front wheels would help keep the tractor going where you want it to.??
Hey good morning Edward. Yes, a few folks have suggested it but not sure I should be using chains on this tractor so looking into it more. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. Cheers!
Good relaxing music 👌
You are gonna catch up to me soon Gord.
LOL AK!
Hi, love your channel. Question, are you speaking of temperature in degrees or Celsius? Thanks! Cold either way! I'm way down in South Carolina. I just finished cutting my grass for the last time of the year!
Good morning and thanks very much for watching Jason. Temp is in Celsius. I already miss cutting the grass! Cheers and all the best! Thanks for tuning in.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SNOW JUST SO I CAN GET OUT THERE WITH MY KUBOTA B2920 WITH THE SNOW BLOWER. I WILL SAY HOWEVER, THAT I DO HAVE A CURTIS CAB AND A HEATER ON MINE. FOR ME AT 70 YRS OLD IT MAKES THE EXPERIANCE A WHOLE LOT NICER. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING I REALLY ENJOY THEM.
Hey good morning and thanks Rich! So great that you have a cab and heat, and hopefully a good thermos of coffee. It was nice to be out without any wind for a change. Cheers and thanks so much!
That thing works great... Really blows the snow. Did you ever think about some kind of cab?
Good morning LJ. Sure did but my dealer did not recommend it , and I have to agree. My forest is pretty tight and dense so considering the all year use of it, I didn't get one as I am 99% sure I would be putting a branch through the glass at some point. But I think at some point I may consider an after-market cab that I can take off and on easily. Cheers!
Your going to miss all that fresh air in your "open cockpit" B2601 this winter. It can't be great trapped in a factory heated (A/C also) LX2610 cab. The new LX2610 front mount blower looks a lot beefier than the B2782B.
Looks like u have a pretty wicked driveway through the woods. I like your tractor. That grapple looks pretty handy. Thinking of getting something like it. Do u wish u had a cab?
Good morning Tony. I sure do at this time of year but do a lot of work in the woods so need to keep a minimal footprint when weaving through the trees etc. But hey, lots of warm clothes and hot coffee help! Have a good week!
the skid shoes are accessories from land pride they bolt on , no drilling.
"There is no other sound except the sound of my Kubota and me smiling."
haha
(what kind of sound is your smile?)
A friendly sound Patrick. :)) Always a friendly one. Cheers and all the best!
Good morning GP. Just woke up your video was so relaxing to watch at the end of it I took another nap, lol Stay safe/ warm. Later
LOL! Hey, great to hear from you Mech. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for tuning in and hope you enjoyed the nap. :)) All the best!
Very good and beautiful video showing your surrounding and your differente view off the snowblower ! Did you find what was causing the left flasher not working ? and Thank you again for the very beautiful baseball hat and the personal note that you give to me GP ! I send you a email with pictures of me and your items and my Golden Retriever ( Scotty and Rubby ) !!! Cheers GP !
Good morning Dave. You are most welcome! Thanks for the pics. I will take a look shortly. I think it is a ground problem but haven't looked at it yet (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). Perhaps next week when I have a little more time. Thanks again - have a good week!
@@GPOutdoors Thank you GP ! Here today his raining !!! Sniff Sniff
Good morning GP! Very relaxing video to wake up to. The woods were still while you were blowing. I’d count that a nice little treat as you don’t have snow blowing back into your face. We’ve only had an inch so far, but more is supposed to be coming today. Winter is here. Surprising but true. The snow sports can now begin! Stay warm, and have a nice weekend. Cheers!
Hey good morning Jackson. Yes, not a breathe of wind the whole time - I didn't have to use my goggles! Yup, pretty soon we can fire up the sleds! Can't wait. Have a great weekend!
Yeah I hear you GP! I love seat time on the tractor! Have a good week!
You too LA!
Great shots, great scenery, great video. Thankyou I loved hearing the tractor responding to changes and terrain.
A side note, I messaged akdad and thankfully him and his family were far enough from the earthquake they are fine.
Again thankyou sir love riding along.
Hey good morning Bill and thanks! Yes, saw the news this morning and that was the first thing I thought of - good to hear his family is safe. Have a wonderful weekend!
What a perfect way to spend a morning, then going inside and enjoying the family and relaxing while watching nature’s beauty. Thanks for sharing with us GP.
Good morning ODD! Thanks for watching. Have a good one!
Enjoy watching you using your snow blower on your driveway. Just like it was when I had a snowmobile, you wear the right clothes you stay warm. Most all the 17 plus inches we had in southwestern NY State is all melted from the storm last week but did manage to plow mine and my neighbors driveway on my B2650. Sort of a relearning thing again from using it last year. Have a good week.
Good stuff Gary! So true. You have to dress for the weather and my snowmobile outerwear is the warmest stuff I have. Hoping for a great sled season this year - last year wasn't too great. Glad you got to fire up the 2650 for a run! Cheers!
What do you do when it really snows, I mean maybe two feet? I wish I could afford a tractor like you have, maybe some day. I guess you don't have cable with that long driveway. Nice video.
LOL! No cable or TV. But I have a DVD player and a screen. Usually by this time of the year we would have about 4 feet of accumulation. Love lots of snow. Snowmobiling, the kids used to skate on the lake when they were younger, ATV etc. Last winter was odd but this one is very odd. Had very little snow overall but apparently we are supposed to get a big snowfall this week. Fingers crossed. Cheers and thanks Charles!
Great video GP! Are you frequently positioning the blower up and down (for traction), or mostly using your floating position control? Did you have a frozen base before this snow fall?
Hey good evening Bryan. Some great questions. The base won't be frozen probably till the end of the month so I keep my skid shoes high for now. I always run in float but you probably see that whenever the driveway inclines I often have to pop it out for a minute and lift it a bit until I get over the hump and then I drop it into float again. I sometimes have to lift it for traction too on corners when the blower gets into deeper snow on the side - it tends to kind of pull you in. Thanks for watching and for the q's!
Nice tractor, I’ve been looking at a few models Branson, mahidra and the B26 still debating.
North bay, Ontario
Hey hey North Bay!! I have many friends there! Thanks for tuning in and good luck with the decision. Lots of great tractors to choose from. Cheers!
This is my first northern Minnesota winter with my B2601. Do you ever feel the need for, or have you ever considered chains up there in Canada?
Good day Joe! Very timely question. Several subscribers last year and this year suggested I get them. Some people have said it is ok to put them on, and some say that the compact and/or more recent tractors are not as strong, so to speak, as the older ones so not to put chains. I will bring this topic up in an upcoming video. I finally spoke with my dealer and he said not to put chains on it - apparently it will damage the transmission over time. They said that if I feel I need to , then to only put them on the rear tires only, and never to use 4 wheel drive while the chains are on. So I would offer that maybe you can call your deal er and see what they say and let me know. That would be great. Cheers!
You are fun to watch and I enjoy the fact that I don't have to do the cold! A good heater in a toasty cab is my idea of enjoying the winter forest. To each their own I guess, anyway have good one!
LOL. Man , I would have loved a cab with a heater. If I had one, I don't think I would come out! Thanks for watching Rick and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
It's a pretty view with the snow an trees
I really enjoyed this video you have the longest driveway I have ever seen I will say that. I am sure that is very relaxing and a good way to take your mind off of things. I do have two questions though.
My one is how do you keep the snow from blowing back in your face when you are using the snowblower? I know when dealing with snow that can be challenging.
My second question is have you thought about putting something on the back of the tractor that spread either salt or sand on your driveway so no one gets stuck? With that long of a driveway you wouldn't want to get stuck in the wrong spot that is for sure
Hey good evening James! Some great questions. Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoy them. re: 1 - This morning there was no wind at all so it made for a wonderful morning. On a normal day there is always some wind and I always end up looking like Frosty the Snowman when I am done. LOL. For some reason , I never turn the chute fast enough to match the changing wind direction - that's why I wear the goggles. LOL. re: 2 - I absolutely have, since last winter, and I have something - I will introduce it soon over the next few weeks. Very happy with it as I think you will see soon. Thanks again for watching and for the questions - Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors Thanks for the reply I am sure that on windy days that would be a cold job that can't always be fun
Great video GP! What program or app do you use to edit and upload your videos? Thanks in advance
Thanks so much Derek! I use iMovie - just the basic program and I am still learning how to use it. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Did you know the rear left lights are not working. The right side is on and flashing. Cheers
Hey good morning Wayne. Yes I do know - thanks! Need to have a look at it. Cheers!
It’s really starting to look like winter up there. Nice video.
Good morning and thanks K! It sure is - time to get the xmas lights out. Cheers!
I need to sell my rear blower. Hard on the neck. Nice setup you have there. 👍
Good day and thanks Laurie. Very happy I got the front blower. Cheers !
Awesome. Makes me look forward to some big snows in Michigan.
Should be coming soon Terry. We have some warm weather coming through this week but then some snow towards the end of it. Cheers!
That is a great setup. Is that a 2 stage thrower?
Morning MJM. You bet. So far has worked really well for me. Thanks for tuning in!
Very peaceful morning GP.......awesome......have a great weekend my friend....... :)
Sure was. Thanks Don - you too!
it looks so nice untill you are out in it that is why i live in the south lol
LOL! You don't feel the cold watching it eh Mike!. Thanks for watching - all the best!
kinda narrow driveway.....must be brutle on a windy day with all them trees dropping snow on you....a cab and heater may be a great investment?
Hey Trouble! Stop teasing me LOL! Yes sure would be nice but saving now for a garage one day. But at some point I think I will get one of those cabs you can take off and put on (Curtis cab?). Cheers and thanks for saying hi!
about how much are them cabs?
I think they are a few thousand for sure - I haven't really priced it out properly so it will be a while Trouble. But hey , i have warm clothes. :)) Have a good one!
Hey Gord, I like your seat warmer in the opening shot!! How long is that lane you are blowing out? It looks long. The blower sure throws the snow a long ways. It looks to be working good for you.
Hey good morning Grampie. Works great so far. The drive is about 1.3 kms. Great clearing it on a day with no wind. Otherwise, I come back looking like frosty the snowman. LOL. Cheers!
Hi GP, great video there. One of my favorite things to do is work my tractor. Ever so peaceful especially at night. My second favorite is mowing with my Scag Tigercat zero turn mower. I have a 30 plus acre lawn plus I mow the neighbors which is about 5 acres each week. It’s relaxing for me. Keep the videos coming
Good morning and thanks John. That sounds like my kind of pastime too. Wow , that's a lot of lawn to care for. Love mowing grass. Wished I had enough lawn to warrant a zero turn. They look great. I like it best in late June, early July when the grass is growing really fast so after I cut it, you can really tell the difference. I also like the smell of fresh cut grass. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the week!
We've been pretty lucky this year GP. We are into our second week of deer season and only had snow for 1 day. Got maybe 2 inches Thursday night into Friday morning then rain on Saturday and 50° then today it got upto 65°F. Not complaining though. Take care my friend.
Hey good stuff Dean. If you are hunting then good luck and keep warm and safe out there! Cheers!
How long is your driveway GP? Ohhh never mind you said it at the end! 😁
God morning Jim. Actually a little under a mile to be exact. (1.3 kms). Cheers!
Thanks GP love the video it remind me wen Younger in the 70's I work in the woods ,love ervery minutes of it and love the sound my chains on my tractor .ding a ling .so quiet and Beautiful .
Good morning Leo. That sounds nice. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great week!
ah !! Tractor time 👍
I hope you get royalties for having that big dealer decal on your hood. I cleaned those off my 1025 as soon as i got it. Nice snow to blow. Keep up the good work. Kent
Hey good day Kent. Thanks for tuning in. No, no royalties but super great people there so happy to leave it on. :)) Have a good one!
Ahhh nice! Gordy....do you ever blow at night? I love plowing at night. Good job keep up the videos
Good morning Tom. I think I will soon. I have blown it out in the early morning darkness last year and I find it really peaceful and relaxing and was thinking of doing it late at night so I think I might just do it. Thanks and Cheers!
Excellent video.
In case you hadnt noticed your left turn signal on top of rear fender beside you is out Has been since firewood video's Just fyi would be hard for you to notice as its right beside you when you are driving Have a great day
Hey good morning and thanks Larry. I did finally notice it recently . Appears to be a grounding issue I think but I will have to take a closer look at it soon. I drive across the concession road a lot and don't want to get stopped and fined. Thanks again!
I agree with you there is nothing better than driving a tractor anywhere but especially on your own road.
Good morning Bruce. It sure feels good. Have a great week!
Awesome vid, you need to put on a set of front chains. I put a set on my b2601 for the winter and it makes a world of difference. It will definitely help you steer and go up your hill with the blower down... have a good one! Mitch
Hey good morning and thanks Mitch! I have been thinking about that over the last couple of weeks and may look into it. BTW - did you check with your dealer to see if it was ok to put the chains on it? And if so, what did he say?
GP Outdoors I used to work for New Holland years ago and we would chain up front and rear axles for customers and never saw and driveline issues. I have chains for all my tractors and I also have never had and issue. If you where rammy jammy maybe you might have a problem but as I’ve watched all your videos your not hard on your equipment.
If you found a set of old lawn mower ( rear tire) chains they should fit your front tires. I made mine out of a set of old light truck chains(had them laying around).
It would never hurt to ask your local dealer and see what they say. When you purchase your b2601 did you buy the kubota insurance ? I would think if ( can’t see it happening) you broke a driveline component that insurance should cover the damage as you the owner installed and chains. I would also check with your local dealer on this as well. They do have a very good insurance policy.
Anyhow keep the videos coming and good luck with your research.
Mitch
Hey thanks for the info Mitch. I will check with them and see what they say. Thanks again for all the help above. Cheers and stay warm!
@@GPOutdoors imo Use chains with caution, if absolutely necessary, otherwise?. Today's drive train components don't have the meat of older 2wd tractors. That is why , today's tractors are mostly 4wd. Run a little softer tires and reduce gears if you need a bit more traction. I cringe to see a wheel spinning with chains on. Something has to give $$$. Chains are made for low gear and rough terrain as in the woods for working or towing something out of a situation. My 2 cents. lol
wait till spring, to do that. The weather is alot warmer.lol
Good call Michael! Cheers!
We love the videos.
Truly but you are running that unit to hard.
Having to improvise a seat warmer and burning out flashers faster than shear pins.
For the love of all that is tractor and beautiful scenery...we plead you give the old girl a break.
What do you think of the opening for a novel idea about a secluded tool nerd somewhere in eastern Canada?
LOL WC! You're right. I need to give her a break. :)) I think that is an excellent idea. Tool nerd, complete with pocket protector and honest, down east friendly rapport, taking us through his weekly escapades and adventures - I like it. It's got legs I think. It will be a lot of work but you should give it a whirl. I'd watch. Cheers!
