WOW! Bravo - this is one of the most honest, introspective, and insightful quotes I've ever seen anywhere! "...lucky for me, this year mother nature has been kind enough to review and and audit all my system dependencies highlighting all of the flaws and weaknesses..."
A new toy....you just need to build a cover over your tractor seat. It's what one would call a cold shower in the morning. lol I bet Heath appreciated you for plowing his road too. Stay warm!
I am a long time snowblower…40+ years. My current unit is 72” wide and 24” high. I’ve read many of the other comments and much of what they say is good info. I would emphasize; keep your rpm’s high ( I presume 540 rpm) and your ground speed low enough that your tractor doesn’t bog down. My snowblower’s discharge chute has polypropylene sheets lining it so snow will not build up in it. Polypropylene is very slippery. I have also heard of some folks painting the impeller area with nonstick paint. Don’t know how well it works but seems like it might be a workable idea. Keep a set of tools with you along with shear bolts. Regular preventive maintenance real important. Keep everything well lubed. Best luck to you!
Mark is a hardworking man with a loving wife who always supports him in all his projects around their place . Keep it up👍🙏 Nice and loved watching you both doing work together in your Ranch🥰❤️🥰
Its funny how that little voice was telling you again it was time to get a snow thrower... For me the little voice told me to get a generator (back in 2003). 2 weeks before the entire east coast of north america had a big power failure.. Course my power stayed on but for most went it was out for 2 days. Still glad I listened , its given me a lot of comfort.
"SWEET", a snowblower! How this will make a dramatic and positive change in your life. Food for thought, you should consider an LED light bar upon the top of your tractor roll bar, facing forward and backward; if possible. Fun video, "thanks" for sharing; until next time, stay safe and healthy.
Great investment for your homestead I don't know how you and heath do it in the winter keeping the road open and the wife's happy stay safe lots of love from ohio
Awesome find...you might be able to find a canvas cab with metal frame and plexiglass windshield it's not perfect but it keeps the snow out of your face and it directs the warm air off the motor into where you sit
It was nice to see the elk horn arch landmark in that little town! Don’t live there now but was born and raised about half of my youth years there. -Like always, really enjoy your videos!
That's great! My sister lived just outside (south) of there for several years before moving to Thayne and then Jackson. I spent many days visiting here and getting breakfast at the old lodge diner. It's surprising how much it's grown over the past 10 years.
@@MountainMapleRanch left there about 38 years ago. Was back a few years ago to bury my uncle. still love that small town. -but it just kills me what Jackson has become… sad to me. Star valley winter’s sure last a long time there, but I’m told they aren’t as severe as they used to be. Lived on a sheep ranch there and boy did we have snow. I remember my siblings and I going trick-or - treating and there was already almost 2 feet of snow on the ground. -The wife and I are actually thinking of moving back to cold country. Everyone says we’re crazy cause we’re not supposed to move to the snow as we age, but I got one more “call of the wild” in me that I got to appease before I’m really old, so if we can get our house sold we will actually be fellow Idahoans. We considered Star Valley but the only real jobs are in Jackson. And we don’t want (nor can we afford) to live there, but Idaho is a pretty nice place so that’s the plan. We will be west of you though (closer to the capital unfortunately) but got bought a little piece of raw land up in the mountains, so we will be starting over from scratch as well. It will be about 50+ min drive to work for the wife, as she is also a nurse. She drives 30 minutes now so she feels like she can adapt. it’s just the adapting to driving in the snow that’s got us a little concerned cause down here in southern Utah we don’t have to deal with it. We may learn that we are going to need a snow blower and something to attach it to as well. -That attachment to your tractor was a great find, and I hope it serves you well for many years! …Ah, my apologies, that was very long winded…
21:00 a real man.. just getting it done. Grew up on a farm in Iowa (always windy and extreme wind chill) when no one had cabs on their tractors. We used what we called a heat houser. It had a windshield (which would always fog up) front and sides and panels on the sides of the engine that would direct heat back toward your body. It did really well on the windy days to help block the wind and gave you a little heat.
Hey on those couplings just find the coupling that fits the snow blower and put it on one end of a piece of hose and then on the other end that features on your tractor then what you can do is have that short hose that you can just put in between the 2 and you won't have to buy a long long hose
im glad you got your heating shed up and going before the snow came. i love watching you guys.. brandon from Burton. keep warm and be safe
5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1
If you get winter like that each year you need something that is usefully designed to get you sorted, you need a warm cab on the tractor in those conditions i would suggest. Good luck .
wow i can see the smiles on your faces from here in Perth Australia ,we don’t get snow here but you certainly do there and that snow blower has removed a lot of stress in your lives cheers a great video gang
Just a suggestion. I know I'm late to the party but if you put an impeller kit on there it will go a long ways towards keeping your snowblower from slugging up with that wet stuff. Also you should do yourself a huge favor and look up a soft tractor cab for that thing that you can take off in the summer. I know they seem like a little bit of money but dang it they are so worth it mine's original tractor cab ,but there's another company called cover my tractor that also makes them. They look like pretty solid units too. As an added bonus in the summertime you have a sunshade is something to keep the rain off of you when you take the skin off. Anyway no criticism just a suggestion thanks for taking us along on the ride
I watch you and red poppy, I am sure glad you both are buddies and help each other. He is gunna love that new toy too. I bet he is next to buy a blower instead of a plow?
I just watched this vlog,and am now a subscriber, the voiceover narration explaining what you were doing is excellent, well done!! As a retired truck driver, I have the luxury of sitting in my warm house,in my chair,and enjoy the adventures of other people's postings here on TH-cam. Many moons ago while helping on my grandfather's farm here in the north central part of Pennsylvania, during the winter months, he would hang heavier pieces of canvas on the sides of the tractor,from the hood down to the oil pan,from radiator back to the steering wheel support, and leave it loose by your feet and knees,kind of a makeshift heater,as the fan pulling air through the radiator, would blow back to where you were sitting. Mind you not a lot of air flow,but when it's cold and snowy, any warm air was a blessing!! As others have pointed out, a homemade cab made with plexiglass and side curtains would greatly improve your comfort levels also. That's nice country where you live in,Eastern Idaho,I spent a few years in the military by Umatilla,Oregon, a drier environment than where your at,and a couple of sisters live in Montana. Looking forward to more of your adventures!!😎😎😎
Awesome!! Buying a used piece of equipment most always comes with it's own challenges.. Glad you figured it out.. Looks like it will work out just fine. Stay safe my friend.👍🤓👍🤓Randy.
I know exactly what you mean. For years I've been wanting a walk behind snow blower like the one you recently got. Keeps getting put off for stuff that seems more important when I don't have snow to move. LOL
Have you seen impeller kits ? Impeller/fan having tighter fit in impeller/fan housing throws snow further. You can make your own with thick rubber bolted to impeller/fan.
Game changer Marc, great to see you getting a much needed snow equipment. This will sure beat just pushing the snow around. Be safe stay healthy and God bless
That snow blower is a great new tool to add to your collection. Even though it clogs every once in a while, it should do a fine job once your hoses are installed.
We got the hoses installed and its working great. Its at the end of the video:) Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch our channel. We sure appreciate you. Ola❤
Very nice setu, love snow blowers, do not have the buildup at the edge. My friend showed me a motorcycle helmet and shield work great to keep sow off of your face, warmer too. Happy New Year!
Seems the Snow Blower needs more Power and Speed to the Snow Blower itself. Is there a way to up the speed on the Blower without increasing speed on the Tractor ? When running snow Blowers here we always make sure the Blowers are throwing the snow 25 to 40 Feet to get the snow of and away from the road. Of course you know all this. Maybe away to Hear proper speed to Blower. Great Show I'll watch some more. Place seems really nice. You can make a cab. On the tractor. Run a 12 volt Heater they work better then you might think. Happy Travels stay safe.
That's good you found one I would not have a snowblower that mount on the back of my tractor nether that be a pain in the nick lol if i cud not fine one I would have look for a brush hog or find a trans and a snowblower that mount on the back and some steel and made it into a front snowblower. Maybe later on you can fine a older 4x4 tractor that you can put the snowblower on and your newer tractor you can put the back blade and the front lift. If you get some block of wax melt it an brush it on the snowblower it will help a lot from the snow a slush sticking. Wow you do have a lot to snow remove
Hello from Saskatchewan. The Schulte units are made here. I made up a pto loader mount blower for my Massy 1742. Lots of work to build, worked well. Needed a ssqa so I could still use the loader to handle deer feed.
My husband used an old backhoe without a cab to plow! Always felt bad for him. Be saved up money to buy a nice backhoe with a cab, heater and radio!! He's styling' now! Be also bought a flatbed Ford from the city and put a plow on the front! He's all set! I guess in trying to say is hang in there, one day you'll have a blower with a cab!! Looks like you're in the Afton area. Love it up there!
Maybe look into attaching strips of heavy rubber to the ends of the impeller blades. With heavy wet snow, it has a habit of sticking to the sides of the tunnel and plugging it up. With the rubber strips being closer to the tunnel walls, the snow gets scraped off and gets throw further. Just a thought. If you try it, screw or bolt the strips so they are just before touching the walls. Don't want to wear them out.
WOW Mark, great job with the new purchase and I hope it lasts a LONG TIME. So glad Ola wasn't hurt or the truck damaged in the snow drift. Always good to see a new video and I pray you both have a GREAT year ahead, WITH A WARM VACATION somewhere lol. Stay safe my friends
Be tough living where you do without that neat little tractor. The front mount blower is nice but having the loader on the front and blower on back is handy also.
Put rubber extenders on impeller which will help throw farther and especially will keep chute from clogging. I cut my rubber pieces out of an old mudflap, drilled holes in the impeller and rubber then bolt together. I did the same thing to my little self propelled and it works awesome on it as well 😊
My heart goes to the both of you. Please tell the misses always wear something warm over or under those scrubs. My Late Wife was a Nurse in the mountains of Tennessee until we moved to Lower Michigan. I know the snow was no where what you are getting their so God Bless and please be careful. PS We moved to South Carolina a couple years before she passed.
I have one mounted on an industrial Ford tractor with cab. Works pretty good. Only downfall is, the tractor is only 2 WD. So I have to carry a rear weight.
First time viewer. You must have quite a bit of property. I don’t envy you having to clear that much snow. I think that snow blower would have been higher on my list of things I need. I hope your wife is appreciated at her job, most people would have turned back.👍👍🇨🇦
Did not know they made such a setup with the rear pto and front mount. Nice. Then if your tractor has a float function for the loader once you get that hooked up I know it'll do you good. Looks like you might need to turn the rpm's up a little and go a little slower in the heavy stuff, but other than that looks good.
from what i was looking at it seems quite common to have a sub-frame for a front mount pto as most tractors don't have one it seems. and unless you have a independent driven snowblower then you more than likely will require it .
@@romeoneverdies I think you need a pretty modern tractor to have a front PTO. It's a real luxury to have a front mounted blower. Last time I checked prices, the rear mounted ones were often considerably cheaper at new prices.
@@l337pwnage rear mount are way cheaper. In addition to front mount blower you also need the subframe which makes it even *more* expensive. And you don't get a loader. But the front mount sure looks convenient.
You can purchase front mount kits that attach to the frame for the John Deere and Kubota subcompacts. You then run the front mounted snow blower to the mid pto. The front mounting of implements on compact tractors is more common in Europe because they typically don't have loaders.
WOW! Bravo - this is one of the most honest, introspective, and insightful quotes I've ever seen anywhere! "...lucky for me, this year mother nature has been kind enough to review and and audit all my system dependencies highlighting all of the flaws and weaknesses..."
Front mount rear PTO drive blower.
I'm 62, lives in North Ontario and been around tractors all my life.
Learned something new today.
its rare to see this. I knew it existed but hardly anyone has it
You do a very good job narrating the vid. I hope more people appreciate the quality of your channel.
His narrating and story telling is what I like best about this channel.
I love the way that blower mounts, very clever. Never seen anything like it before. thanks for posting....
You and your wife are amazing! God bless you all and your family!🥰❤️🤍💙🇺🇸💒

I toss a hd trash bag over mind to keep it dry. Cold show is right haha. Nothing worse than a cold wet seat! 😮

RPR sent me here. Your videos kept me here. Good job on your narration
Awesome, thank you!
Never saw a snowblower set up like this. Very curious and ingenious.
You and I have different musical taste 😅
Good informative video
TY
I could tell this winter you prepare everything, white snow make your land more beautiful
Nice looking snowblower Mark

Alot of work , effort and money just to access your land. Now you are rocking with your snow blower.

Plexi glass and wooden frame, at least in the front to keep the snow and wind off you……. Love the new snowblower just in the nick of time.❤❤
I think you have just found a game changer. What a neat peace of kit. Looking so much forward to the next video.
Can’t wait for the next video!
That blower is going to be nice. That way you blow the snow over the banks and down the hill.

We really appreciate that. Thank you
Wow Red Poppy Ranch is your neighbor. Love that Channel.
Definitely a cab is a good idea.
Great video. That blower seems like a game changer. Good luck with it
Another great video, thanks!
Best time to blow snow is middle of the night when the snow is crisp and frozen instead of wet
Awesome, just what you needed
I like your choice of music. 😎
I watch you and red poppy, I am sure glad you both are buddies and help each other. He is gunna love that new toy too. I bet he is next to buy a blower instead of a plow?
He had a blower and sold it
Man, I have watched a few of your videos and in the first minute I know that you should be a VoiceOver in the movies.

Baler belting has reinforcement. Works so well its a crime they don't come with it.

Buy several spray bottles of the Turtle Wax Spray and coat the whole blower and chute with it, that'll help keep the snow from sticking to the metal.

@@l337pwnage rear mount are way cheaper. In addition to front mount blower you also need the subframe which makes it even *more* expensive. And you don't get a loader. But the front mount sure looks convenient.
You can purchase front mount kits that attach to the frame for the John Deere and Kubota subcompacts. You then run the front mounted snow blower to the mid pto. The front mounting of implements on compact tractors is more common in Europe because they typically don't have loaders.
