Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
yes we have sugar snow up here. thansk
The dogs probably won't go anywhere. We have 3 dogs running around the farm and they always come when I call.
that is good. thansk
Thor is a damn snow plowing beast. Amazed at the size of snow drifts it blasts through. That animal should be kept on a leash .
the usa air force knew what they were doing back then. thansk
Howdy from the Northwoods of Minnesota, Love and Respect All.
Good morning lol. Haven't got snowblower done yet. Hopefully all be had tomorrow. 6.6 snowblower on my 83 1ton Dodge. Run hydraulically by 4-53 Detroit running pumps.
Have some hair of the dog that bit you lol
Or few shots of Vodka 😅
Stay safe n keep the greasy side down.
better hurry up winter is just about over and then when you think it is spring, it will snow again. thansk
Yeah I know the kind of head cramps you might be experiencing, i misbehaved once for 35 yrs😮😵💫
well at least you did not make it 36 years, lol thansk
That old school Cummins is doing a good job burning clean
yes and sipping the fuel and putting out way too much heat in the cab thansk
Boy I am really impressed at how high you can pile snow with that unit it’s perfect for snow! It’s nice to have a piece of iron that is good at what it was designed for!!!
Carry on Canada 🇨🇦😀
made for the USA Air Force so plowing in northern canada is not what it was designed for thansk
Thor is a 4 wheel drive monster
even better with the tire chains on the back then he plows like a D8 cat. thansk
I put 2 hydraulic Cylinders on 12' plow once to angle both directions.
Guy at Cascade Machinery told me how to set it up with chain so no matter how it was angled. Lifted straight every time, and never got out of the cab.
that is good that the fellow helped you out. Thor is an easy machine to operate and was well though out when they designed it. thansk
You're running out of room for snow banks. How much longer will you have to plow snow? Thor does a great job.
another 2 months of snow coming for us and we will just push it back thansk
I remember u from ice road truckers lol
me too, my 15 seconds of fame thansk
International,alway"s made,tough.overbuilt equipment,made for heavy work.
In the early days IH would build to spec, you could of gotten that truck with a 3 speed on the column. And A-78 13s, and a slant 4 gas job.
this one is usa air force speced so quite a bit more heavy duty spec. thansk
yes those were the days and now you buy what is on the dealer's lot. thansk
Video doesn't show much BORING
excellent, more to come when we get snow next month, lol thansk
Looks like y'all sure got allot of snow. Thanks for the great content an keep up the good work
yes we have lots and more coming too thansk
Those pay stars are great trucks. The new ones not so much with modern technology.
yes old school is the way to go, no computer and simple black wires to follow. thansk
What year is Thor? Sure pushes hard, as you say, built for the job. Do you have weight in the box too?
Thor is 1983 and speced heavy for the usa air force. there is a hug cement block in the box and with the tire chains on her will push and pull like a D8 cat thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 Thanks for the info. Sounds like the perfect recipe for success for sure! Your rescue missions have sure shown that this truck is a big time heavy hauler!
Thor is awesome moving snow! Your a real driver, heat on high, window down. You moved a lot of snow. Be well! Take care in the Kingdom!
Thor with the cummins motor sips the fuel and put out way too much heat not like the 8V71 Detroit in the Screaming Ford that loves fuel and oil and no heat unless screaming for mercy. thansk
Thor is a nice piece of equipment.
yes and handy to have too thansk
Impressive treads on the tires of Thor..... must be expensive rubber!
not bad back in 2019 when we bought a new tires which was about the same price as 2 single tires. thansk
It's about 6 years to the day from when me and my son came to Whoville to fix a light tower/generator that was rented from Cat Rentals in Regina. The rentals didn't know that the renter was going to drag it behind a truck all that way. The guard (for stupid people) that was covering the fan broke and the fan threw a piece through the rad, so we had to drive 17 hours up the so called road to spend 2 hours changing out a rad. (Would have been quicker if we hadn't of had to do site orientation) One guy's job was to stand and watch us to make sure we were safe. Then we watched 5 guys back up a truck safely. This was somewhere out in the toothpick trees out from the old mine. Someone sure plowed a bunch of snow with a cat to get into where the drilling rig was, maybe it was you Joey. This was about a week after the big storm in March 2017.
yes the big mine clean up that put more money in to our people pockets then it did for us locals. that storm will be well remembered thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 Did you tell any stories about the big storm in any of your books?
I’m from the north on Canada also AND drinking like that isn’t cool
Too each there own ,I believe if you work hard you’ll play hard, cold beer after a long day of work sets you up too work harder the next day, and hard workers are cool
excellent thansk
yes any song of the 1980s was work hard and party hard. thansk
I'm live in the deep south and we drink while we work on our own stuff and have fun. If your head smokes too then you got stuff done.
Thor has been a useful tool up there. I know you could plow with the cats but you are nice and toasty in Thor.
yes and Thor is fast and only takes a 1/3 of the time compared to the cats of loader. thansk
Really don't see many pulling snow with the blade but it does work. Traction and experience are the tricks when plowing snow. Stay safe and warm my friend.
yes it took a few tries to get the limits on Thor the plow truck figured out and now t does not take long to clean up the yard. thansk
Works better with back drag edge
thor is a hell of a beast
yes and doing a job he was not meant to do thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 would love to be up there and help do the plowing i miss thw snow so much
@@aaronhunt5001 yes snow can be fun but also get boring pretty quick too thansk
Cool looks great King Joey
