- Sharing my thoughts on our new PB600 Level Red Winch cat, after putting over 1200 hours on it over the season (shared with another operator). There is some footage of the cat working, towards the end of the video.
I really enjoyed the machine, we had no problems with it for its first season, it’s been amazing. Looking forward to next winter!
Great joystick, epic stereo, awesome climbing and pushing ability, comfortable and good overall visibility for the operator. And very simple to operate, including the winch, which is, in my opinion, the best overall winch system on a snowcat. The whole package makes every job easier and every shift more pleasant. - กีฬา
Definitely need more vids like this. Love the cats!
This was so insightful for someone building a radio control 600. Modifying a Dickie Toys PB 600 to have full blade and tiller function on a budget (Not one of those crazy 5k euro kits by Pistenking, I just want to play in the snow haha).
Really really cool Video, big thanks for showing all of this, its really interesting
Awesome video! Snowcats controls have changed so much in the past 5 years even
The video I’ve been waiting for, for years. Would love to see more on your settings and why you change settings for different conditions
Thx for the video… I will drive one of these first time in winter… can’t wait for it
Ohhh Sälen
Many years ago i was passenger down Väggen in Sälen, think it was 45 degrees steap in one of these machines. I will never forget that feeling 😃
I've always wanted to drive one, see em at night on the hills. Looks so fun!!
Fantastic video!! 🔝🔝
Love your work brother! Ya make me very proud
Hey, I know you 🤣 Thanks bro
Beautiful machine.
Just had the opportunity to go back and watch this video. Great job!! That joystick is amazing and your description is outstanding. Wish I had gone back earlier to watch it. 🙏
I have always wanted to drive one of those. To the point that i am retiring and hoping to have that as my dream retirement job.
Just did that!
@@gordwiesner3753 Do tell! I would love a job driving at some big mountain out west
Excellent thank you!
Never knew these had winches?! Always assumed they were geared low enough to not need any system like that. So glad I found this channel! I’m a skier/boarder and equipment fanatic!
Yep, there’s winch-cats and free-cats (no winch). Free-cats are pretty capable but if you want to be efficient on steep terrain you need a winch or 2.
If I ever win the lottery I’ll def buy one of these bad boys!
So would I. Centrepiece in my mansion.
Great video! That reel out is super smart! I remember being around a Timberjack Log Skidder and I know that is not the same machine by a long shot, and the winch on it is vastly stronger, but it was 100 pounds of pressure to pull out the line - I was young and could barely move it lol....
Yeah logging machines definitely require a stronger rope and winch system. My friend owns a logging company which runs a couple of tethered falling machines and they require an entire excavator-based winch-machine to tether to. I would love to have a go in them but I’d have to dedicate a summer or 2 learning the falling machine first.
I remember when they had that half moon steering wheel.. Geez I'm old I guess. That joystick is awesome.
A lot of resorts in Western Europe still buy their machines with a yoke for steering. They’re bloody horrible compared to sticks, don’t know why anyone would buy them today.
What a Beauty!
very nice video!!!
Awesome video thanks for sharing. I run a grader or dozer and have always wanted to see what these things are like inside. They just seem like they would be really nice fun machines to work in
I run dozers and excavators in the summer. It’s similar but different. Like a grader crossed with a tractor crossed with a dozer. Amazingly capable machines.
Thats awesome that you have the perspective from the dirt side as well. I would imagine the material management part of it would translate to both. Thanks for replying
love this video make more like this, please !!!
nice piece. never saw one before, interesting.
Really Nice video 💪💪🕹️🕹️👏
Awesome machine.!! Thank you.
From what I see on the quick view of the broken stirrup, I wouldn't blame it on the steel or the bend in it. I would sooner say somebody ran that winch cable in too tight and the force from the 10k lb winch cracked it. A bungee cord would work and then the winch wouldn't be brought up too tight.
Just a thought.
It’s an interesting thought, but if the winch was brought in that tight one or two of the rope clamps would have to run through the pulleys on the end of the boom, which would destroy the pulleys. It’s not possible to put force on that bracket from the winch without doing serious damage to the pulleys and clamps first.
TH-cam sent me to your videos. Always found these machines cool. I run a concrete boom pump. How does one get into running these types of machines? Super great videos though and happy to subscribe can’t wait to check out all your other content.
Either apply and hope for the best or start off snowmaking. Sometimes just knowing the right person will get you a job. I was just lucky with an application a few years ago. It is quite a difficult job to get into as there’s only so many mountains around and a lot of staff do it every year. Never hurts to try though. Thanks for watching!
@@pushnpow thanks for the reply. I’m in the US in Oregon. We only have like 3 mountains that run maybe 4 months a year and I haven’t seen any man max snow here only down south. Super cool though and I enjoy watching how you guys do this. Definitely take a lot of skill.
Your pic quality is wonderful! What camera are you using???
This was my iPhone XR I think. I’ve actually got a better phone now but I use the GoPro 7 these days.
Ooooh, I see a couple new cats in there 👀. How’s the Prinoth?
No comment
It would be nicer and more interesting for the operator to explain in detail the work and technical processes of the vehicle during the processing phases.
Some of the other videos on my channel do explain more about the job, but they can be quite long…
@@pushnpowGood!
Sometimes when i see all those buttons i think steering the apollo module is easyer
Less g-forces in a snowcat 🤣
Du prata olika fräshastigheter beroende på snökvalitet. Är det vid kramsnö, sockersnö ect?
Ja, och med konstgjord snö, nysnö och under varma eller kalla förhållanden. olika förhållanden kräver olika inställningar.
What about the Jeremy Version?
Ventrian slider...OK!
What skiresort are you working in? What country?
now I saw the sticker on the door. I'm also a machine operator. but I work for skistar vemdalen
I’m working for Skistar in Sälen. Great company to work for.
Was in sälen do you work
Yes
Do you prefer pistenbully or prinoth?
Let’s put it this way, if this resort bought a Leitwolf winch instead of this 600, I wouldn’t be working here…
guessing you have to carry everything you need to either abandon a machine if there is a failure ?
Where do yall anchor those winches?
At the top of the steep slopes we have an engineered tower or a buried deadman to hook on to.
Imagine how much that cost wow
like 750,000 cad
Is this the one that took Jeremy Renners leg?
Pretty sure he got run over by his old 280D. Probably about 15 years difference between that and a new Level Red 600 🤣
Привет, дорогой друг! Пиши из России, я механик по PB400parkpro, pb 400 with лебёдка. Прошу больше информации по гидравлической системе, а именно, падение давления в гидроцилиндрах угла угла атаки отвала. Спасибо.
I am not a mechanic unfortunately, but I think the pressure drop could be due to a worn out hydraulic solenoids or maybe the hydraulic ram/s itself needs a new set of seals. As the 400 gets older they all start to get blade-drop eventually.
Спасибо, дорогой друг. Привет из Сибири, Красноярск. Трос лебёдки ставили не оригинальный?
Seeing them without a steering wheel feels weird.
Operating one without it is a game changer.
@@pushnpow The place i work at has what is suspected to be prototype pisten 600 that is constantly breaking down. Even got people from pistenbully had little result in fixing it. But its a nice machine to work on when it works.
Time to convert to Amish practice ;)))
