- Winter finally decided to show up in Lake Tahoe! We just got slammed with 7 feet of fresh snow over the course of 2 1/2 days. In this video, I am plowing in a Cat 938M loader with a 12 foot Balderson Blade. Enjoy the video!
I plowed snow with my dad from the time I was 18 until I was 46. He started before I was born. Now that he has dementia I cherish those days and he still remembers some of those times. Good luck with all that powder!
He's baaack! Dr. Griff, the snow surgeon extraordinaire.
Been watching all winter for Griff to drop a 2024 video. Congratulations on the new machine. Hope it makes you a load of $.
The glare on the windshield makes like a second camera- one facing forward, one facing rearward.
haha thank you! Im going to try some different things to help with the glare for future videos
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy a good plowing video.
Sir, this is a family channel. 😆
Yea buddy, good to see another vid from you. Nice work around the cars at 16:50 and 22:15
There were cars there?? lol
Back again, i love it! Nice CAT!
Greetings from the east coast
Griff, I'm impressed with all the snow!! I am also impressed with your new Cat Loader! How quite it is. All I can hear is the hydro drive. Amazing!! If I didn't know any better, I would say that it was hybrid - diesel/electric!
Its incredibly quiet!! Very nice machine to run for the most part. Thanks for watching!
Hey, glad to see an upload from y'all again!
Here's to hoping this season won't be as crazy as the last one. Roofs getting crushed ain't fun for anyone.
I was wondering when you were going to post a video. Thanks for sharing, and it's nice to see that yall got another CAT.
Good to see you back man! Great video!
Thank you!
Crazy how much you guys got out there
Good to see you back. I'm not a fan of those shiny new windows though.. hard to see anything with the glare from the back window shining on it. Might need to change the camera's position a little bit, that might help. Be great if you could run with the rear lights off, but that's no good. Well, stay warm my friend. Good job on the plowing. Don't you just love that new loader smell?
Thanks! I am going to try some different things to help with the glare. Hard to beat the smell of a new machine!
Just Discovered Your Channel And I Think It's Fabulous!! I Miss The Snow So Much, Spending Most Of My Life Back East, But Now Here On The San Diego Coast🌴 Not Much Snow, LOL!! Keep Up The Good Work, And Stay Safe!!!
Thank you!
I love your snow videos wish you would make more plowing ones. I like how you have the camera high on windshield so we can see the plow better
You need to make more videos of plowing I will watch all of them
Watching this back to back from last year with the 938G, I think this new 938 has more pushing power, but the G seems faster and the electronic traction control on the G was more effective than the limited slip diffs on the new machine. BUT a person cannot truly compare, every snow storm drops different snow and it pushes/piles different.
Boy I could have used something like that today at our cabin just south of Tahoe city. From the edge of the county plowed road it was probably 6’ tall banks where all the snow was blown off or the road. Our front door had snow was a little over 1/2 way buried, got that cleared out.
All of the people that I called that had done the plowing in the past were out of the business and retired or too sick to continue plowing anymore.
Years ago when my grandpa was alive he always talked about in the 40’s or somewhere around there having to park along 89, snowshoe in and come in from the second story.
Nice new kitty 🎉
Thanks!!
Awesome snow. I live in upstate NY where we get 70-110 inches of snow a year and we've gotten less then 2 feet of snow this season wish this snow would come to us
I live in Rochester, NY. These last two winters have been incredible for how little snow we've had.
Way to work Griff 💪🏻🇺🇸
lol that not snow , its dust. Lake effect isnt real snow
That's some crazy snow. You have to do something about the reflection in the window, it makes it nearly impossible to watch. Maybe turn off the rear light or mount the camera to the glass.
Enjoy the time with your dad can’t replace that what do you do in the warmer months
Is this the first real snow you have gotten this year? I just love watching this
We've gotten a few other storms, but nothing too significant. This was definitely the biggest storm this winter!
How much sleep did you get in the 3days
Woaw
AMERICAN CATERPILAR frontloader my always like it my dreams technic.
👍👍👍🌨️
I could do without the glare and skipping wiper.....but great video!
Loader seems to have great power/weight/traction.
I didn't realize how bad the glare was until I watched the footage afterwards. I will see what I can do to make it better in the future. Also, believe it or not, the wiper is on its slowest setting! One of my complaints about the new machine for sure. Thanks for watching!
👍🏽
With such quantities of snow it must be easier with a front mounted snow blower!!
We have one! We were having issues with it during this storm so we made due with the blades
Ok.👌
Are you guys renting these cats or buying them"?
is the new loader noticeably better? I think last winter was more snow, but this storm was definitely bigger more hard hitting quickly just from my meteorological perspective
I also offer value from a met perspective
The new loader so far a been a pretty nice machine, lots of power and the locker on front axle is nice for pushing out the ramps. My 2 biggest complaints so far is: 1 - the machine really likes to fog up inside the cab and 2 - the windshield wiper does not have an intermittent setting which is really annoying! The old loader is a tried and true workhorse with very minimal issues over the last 25 years and still going strong. Hard to beat the old iron!
気温が低くてパウダースノーだから未だ良いけど、この雪の量ならロータリー除雪機が欲しいレベルだな。
They do have one but it is having mechanical problems
Nice job, dude, but your inside cab lights have too much reflection on camera! 👍👌✌️🇺🇸
Thanks! Those are actually my rear facing lights outside of the cab. Super bright, but I’m going to just shut those off while filming because the glare is definitely pretty bad
