You are the good neighbor. ❣❣. We need people like you.
Thank you John 🤠
Лайк за упорство в работе!
you did that just like i would have done it. taking in consideration the wind direction and asking the blower to do its job for what it was purchased for, and caring for the machine at the same time. i would love to have you for a neighbor when my chips were down. nice vid and bless you for being a good human.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Cool to see someone is paying good attention to what's going on in the video! Thanks for your feedback, highly appreciate that! 😊
Thank you for your help to your community! If I had a snow blower, had I lived in a land where we have snow (we had but that is nowadays more a rarity sadly because I litteraly LOVE snow, always did, especially when I used to grew up with each year loads of snow) but I for SURE had taken you up on your Challenge #snowblowerchallenge !
But now I get to watch your video's, love it 😊
Keep on doing it, maybe when you start early next year again, more and more people pick it up.
Thank you for being you! Keep it coming, as long is possible! 😎👊
Thank you so much! Reading this really just gives me more motivation :) I highly appreciate your comment!! The challenge is a great idea. I will focus on that for next season -> a "youtube snowblower challenge" ;)
I live in the American South and I watch a lot of mowing and mulching videos. Well TH-cam suggested your first video just now and I love it. Snowblowing. Who would have guessed. It even sounds like a mower! Good people doing good things for others. That's my kind of channel. Now all you need is "Karen" telling you that it's too loud or you crossed the property line or something and then you would have a truly American style video. (I did Not miss "Karen") Great beginning of your channel. Newly Subscribed!
Thank you so much! So great to hear you enjoy my kind of content 😃
Indeed it will be interesting when seasons change, we have some really nice things planned.
That's a lot of snow to move with equipment that size. I give you credit.
Thanks a lot!
I would not even take a job like this without having a riding tractor. nice work.
I actually like to take on a challenge where other's would simply shake their head and walk on 😂 I'm sure some of the other neighbors did so when they saw me working there 😆
It’s quite an exercise
@@brynjolfureinarsson6038 for sure! I did have a good sleep that night 😄
I own a atv and I rarely ever use the blower if ever. I start my blower at the begining of the season and thats it..
Visst är det roligt att hjälpa till! Roligt att köra snöslunga med! 🥰🌨❄❄❄
Absolut!! Och ännu roligare med en liten utmaning ibland :)
She's a beast thats for sure
Yes she is doing a pretty good job 😁
Again, impressive work done and very efficient with both shuffle and blower. That machine and you do a great job, kudos!
Hej Dag! Nice to read another comment of you! Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated 🤠!
This is how I ruined my drive shaft on my snow blower. Helping neighbors who neglect their driveways and have to battle the ice build up. $450 repair later. They can hire a plow truck, shovel when it snows or buy their own snow blower and labor.
Sure I get your point. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was lucky enough and didn't get any problems.
The snow or ice didn't wreck your snowblower you trying to go too fast did, they are built to take on anything snow or ice winter wise. If you are blowing anything over 8" you should be in first idle up and feather your drive if you are at a bank and your wheels are spinning all you are doing is abusing your machine. I'm surprised the sheer pins didn't let go before the shaft bent.
@@dannyaustin7008 It was a bearing to the shaft and made the shaft wobble. It was barely throwing any snow. I will be treating it more gently.
Nothing better than free labor. Your friends sitting inside having hot cocoa while you freezing.
We live up by Lake Erie. That could be just one storm.
Молодец,что помогаешь своим друзьям.У самого подобный снегоуборщик,сам чищу улицу на даче.Что бы самому проехать и соседям
Спасибо за твою помощь!
my dad always had those and worked like a charm
I bet they did!
Dang bro! That was some serious work, even with a snowblower
Thanks for your feedback Jim! 🙌
I like that deflector thingy in front.
I do too 😂 such a fancy improvement!
Nice job. That’s quite a snowblower. And I would think you were worn out after all that. Hard snow. I’ve done that before using the shovel to break up the banks to blow them away. Not easy.
You're right, this was everything but easy 😅 but I like a challenge every now and then. Thanks for tuning in 🙃
Another very nice job
Thanks for the nice feedback!
Great Job..👏🏼
I appreciate your feedback!! Thanks :)
Порою эта помощь превращается в обязательным,не всегда и не везде надо быть добряком,иначе ты в их глазах наивное сущность,который не уважает себя.
Я добровольно принял этот выбор. Это был хороший тест для моего снегоуборочного аппарата!
@@chrisworkandmachines А где друзья с лопатой. Помощь есть помощь но друг мог лопатой подготавливать под снегоуборщик.
Всё красиво !!!
Nice job, great intentions! I do the same thing for my neighbors however, I think the good Lord their driveways are not as big as this one!
Hopefully other people will get the hint and spread some kindness and love to the rest of those who are deaf and blind
Great to hear you're helping your neighbors too! Thanks for your comment and the kind words.
I really hope some others get inspired by it :)
Wow, Been there...done that. What a huge backbreaking job to have to break off slices, then blowing it off the the machine is so tedious. You have my respect my friend I have had to do it that way a number of times in my life (65yrs old in The Catskill Mountains) and man o man do you feel it the next day. Fantastic Job!!👍
Thanks Mark! You are right, I did feel my back after these jobs 😅
... just looked it up, beautiful area around Catskill Mountains 😃
@@chrisworkandmachines If your in the mood for looking up things.......Look up... Palenville, NY... population approx. 900. Not a city....not a village....but one step smaller....a Hamlet. That is where I live.
@@markg.2501 I did look it up right away but didn't get to reply onto your comment. Lovely place you're from! 😀👍
I do like this size of "village" as well. You won't find me in big cities very often... too many people 😆
I love traveling and Google Maps... haha, have spent so much time on it! Really interesting to see how youtube connects people from all over the world. Didn't expect that from some snowblowing videos 😅
@@chrisworkandmachines Ain't life Grand!
You know what would have been a perfect song after the oprah the intro to Monster a song by the band skillet
Such a wonderful friend to have. I love your snow blower, so much power and works so well. Is there a reason why you shovel the way you are doing?
Thanks for your feedback! I use the shovel whenever the snow is packed to hard or to icy. You wouldn't get through that with the blower unfortunately.
Where are you located? Sure is a lot of snow. Great job and videos
Thank you so much! We live in northern Sweden (Lapland). Appreciate your Feedback 🙃
Should have had a Honda!
It would be interesting to test one but I doubt it would have made a big difference (if it was one with same hp and width).
The neighbor owes you a hot chocolate!
Yes... and I do love hot chocolate!
What engine do you have on the snowblower?
It has 208cm3 and 3,9kW (5-6hp)
Помогаю друзьям, это когда друзья рядом с лопатами, а тут обычная работа по расчистке территории за деньги. Не пудри людям мозг:)
Ты думаешь неправильно
Друг, почисти мне пожалуйста 😂😂
Нет проблем ;)
What's the intake height on the blower?
That's about 20 inches originally.
Wolf Garten? German Brand? Is this in Canada?
Nope. We're situated in northern Sweden. ✌️
as john cena once said after beating waid at Tlc we get to see the footage on another Camra angle
😆👍
should look that clip up preatty funny
How many tankz of gas did that job use?
I think half a tank or so. A full tank is 2 liters. 😅
Чувак со времён неолита не был дома. Ну хоть так...
Да 😆 Тогда это был просто его дом отдыха... теперь он живет там постоянно и сам занимается работой 👍
By the time I got to the second video you made, I realized that you were having way too much fun . One driveway would have been neighborly. I hope the neighbors at least paid for the gas that you used. I didn’t recognize the brand name, but it sure looks like a MTD clone with a imported 6-8 hp ohv motor, 24 inches wide. Just enough width to do a good job and not kill the operator moving it around.
Thanks for your comment! You're right I checked and it is a MTD Clone just as you said. Works really well and reliable (hope I didn't give it too much of a hard time there!).
@@chrisworkandmachines Try to keep the whole blower cleaned off when not in use. The sand and salt at the end of the driveway really work on the paint. Make sure you run the carb out of gas in the spring. A dry carb never gets clogged with water and additives from the gas. A little dry gas in the tank helps also.
If you put chain on the tires can get better traction less wear and tear on your arms
That is right! Thanks for the tip :)
I noticed you straining to push the blower to give it more traction not sure where you can get them do they make them for snowblowers or do you make em yourself always wonderd that
How does she do on gas?
Hej Michael, I have never really checked that properly to be honest. On the other job which took me 4hrs it consumed somewhat between 3-4 liters.
Этим друзьям и не нужна эта дорожка судя по всему
Если тебя там нет, то тебе это, конечно, не нужно 😅
а тем временем друзья третью неделю бухают
Работа и развлечения, у каждого своя роль. Спасибо за комментарий!
Это не помощь а калым .
Некоторые вещи не имеют смысла для всех
Neighbor: hey you need content for TH-cam? Come plow my driveway…
TH-cam guy: okay. 🤔🤔🤔$$$$
(10month later, not even 1k sub yet. ) 👎👎👎😂😂😂.
No problem for me :)
Нахер таких друзей. Могли бы выйти и помочь лопатой бритве колоть… помочь- это не значит все сделать за кого то. Ну и засыпать очищенное снова , поставить авто на участок, до конца неочищенный- нафиг такой помощник
Владелец не знал, сколько снега было на территории. Я просто принялся за работу, так как до его приезда другого выхода не было. Спасибо за ваш отзыв
