Greetings from a snowy part of Canada. Appreciate all the extra time it takes to video while you're trying to work! We have a 35 year old Honda snow blower and every year it impresses me. We have no need for bigger machines like your's. Thanks again.
as a norwegian i am very impressed with the tv show highway thru hell on discovery its crazy how similar landscape we have
Well filmed under harsh conditions. I have to watch some of your videos.
Theses old tractors are built, not like today’s garbage!😊
I’m loving your videos! And respect for for walking through all that snow to set up your cameras and get those great shots. And the Norwegian accent is fun to listen to🤭 keep the great videos up and much love from the USA 🇺🇸
Hi! Thank you so much for the Super Thanks ☺️ Yes, it is a lot of work to make these videos as a “one man show”! Norway is to small for TH-cam, so I feel I will reach a wider audience by trying to speak English-ish! Most of my viewers are from USA and Canada. Stay safe!😉
Great work on the photography in tough conditions. Not to mention seeing some great equipment at work.
Thanks for the comment! It is a lot of work to make these videos as a “one man show” 😀 Moving the camera and adjusting settings to different scenes!
28 years old or not, your tractor is no joke, it gets the job done! Nice editing and stitching the video together too. Great camera angles as well! Nice video! Watching you scrape the inside of your rear window DOES make me grateful that my cab has a rear defroster on it though!
Yes, the heater in the cab is not the best on this tractor!
Thanks for the comment 😀
The struggles are real. Great job!
Thanks!
Greetings from Northern New York State. We are experiencing a wonderful thaw and our snow is melting.
Sounds good☀️I can’t wait for spring! So tired of snow!!
It looks very cold, but I'm jealous of the powder snow.
Yes, snow can be beautiful, but you got to tolerate cold and freezing temperatures if you enjoy the snow! ☃️🥶😀
@@InTheVise I agree. you are a great person
Love the snowblower never seen one like it i need it that this week here ..
hELLO from New Brunswick, Canada, wow, i have never seen a snow blower like that one before, its awesome.
Thanks. It is a Norwegian brand!
Fantastisk video som viser litt av utfordringene som må løses med riktige verktøy. Takk for at du deler!! Veldig lærerikt å se på.
Takk for hyggelig kommentar😀
Hey there! New subscriber here! Really enjoyed the video! Very well done! You folks definitely get lots of snow over there for sure! Great camera work an angles 💯👍. Thanks for having us along on this one! Take care! Andrew from NB, Canada :) 🇨🇦
Thanks! 😊
Greetings from the austrian alps.
We do need to install beefier snow chains and due to extrem snow hight we have our blowers mounted in front but other than that... i think this is the right machine for you.... it gets the job done.
Really good to see how chains are installed. Great work in those conditions :) One of my favorite plowing videos!🤩
keep the great videos going up and much love from Oregon 🇺🇸
Thanks😀
Fabulous video, watching from England, but in moving to Norway next year. Thank you I learnt a lot watching you. Takk
Be prepared for some snow and storms❄️💨☃️🌊🌨️😀
Welcome to Norway mate😊
Storartet video. Morsomme vinklinger med kamera. Bra redigering og informativt. Og en skikkelig påminnelse hvorfor jeg har flyttet til Thailand. Men topp underholdning. Hilsen fra 32 grader pluss...
Takk😀 Ja tror mange nordmenn lengter ned til Thailand etter denne vinteren!🥶☃️
You did a great job. You have more patience then me.. I would have taken the bucket off and put a plow blade on so I could go faster, then clean up with the blower. You did a great job filming also
Excellent, best yet snow removal video !
Thanks bud!
Круто! Мечтаю посетить Норвегию
У нас похожая природа, но сильно разные уровни жизни
Привет из Карелии!
Thank You for doing the video in English. A viewer & subscriber from U.S.A.
Thank you!😀
Flott film med ulike kameravinklar er det langt mellom 👍Godt gjort 😎🚜
Takk☺️ Det er en god del jobb å lage disse filmene!
That is a lot of snow. I live in north central Indiana, and I have only had about 2" so far. Not enough to even clean off.
Try spraying some liquid graphite where the tractor snowblower chute rotates to help it from freezing.
Thanks, will try that!
Great job
Great Job Pete!!!!😇
Prøv å fylle skuffa med snø så du får tyngde på framhjulene, og ikke slipp fresen helt ned. Da får du maks tyngde på bakhjulene. Du kommer til å se forskjellen i grep. Prøv også lavere gear, to-trinnsfresen er svært effektiv men den blir en stor brems hvis framdriften er for stor i forhold til utblåsingen.
Takk for gode tips!
Nice video, I would love to have as much snow at my place in Luxembourg :)
It is nice and fun with snow, but it can make some real challenges as well, especially combined with heavy wind!
Det er noe avslappende ved å se på snømåking gjort av proffe folk.. 👍👍 Bor midt i Oslo, så det blir lite måking her. Drømmer om snøfreser og eget hus en dag.. da blir jeg utendørs hele vintern😅
Takk for hyggelig kommentar☺️ Kjøp deg et småbruk, og kom deg ut av byen!!
@@InTheVise En vakker dag, min venn ✌
Quite the storm good thing you have a tractor it might take a while to do it with your Honda snowblower
Yes, but that Honda is a beast of a snowblower. Saved me so many times. Nice backup if the tractor breaks down!!
you amazing man bro. Du er en stor snøerobrer. Hilsen fra Istanbul.
Good Lutefisk & Lefsa weather when finished. Viewing from east central Alberta, Canada. Now that's some serious winter storm.
What make of tractor do you have? It sure started good in the cold!
Have a good winter keeping warm!
The tractor is a New Holland L85.
That was an impressive amount of snow that you cleared from those storms. It is certainly hard to beat an inverted snowblower on a tractor for clearing snow. I've used a silicone spray lubricant on my regular sized snowblower to prevent heavy snow from sticking. I suspect doing the same on your inverted snowblower would work just as well. Do you not have a building to store your tractor in? Having to dig out your tractor each snow storm is certainly inconvenient.
you need a barn to store and do work on that tractor. Thats crazy snow. And I live in central NY where our snow average is 115" a season .
Yes, absolutely 👍☃️🥶😀
Hope you are ok after the hurricane that came over Norway yesterday 🙏🇸🇪
No problem!
Replenish your energy with some good homemade lefse now. Yum.
Ja mye snø å rydde vekk!❄ fin video!😃D har vært 38 snøfall hittill denne vinteren her jeg bor. Vært ute med min Zetor Proxima Plus 10541/Fransgård Snøfreser og finpussen rundt hus og lagerbygg og garasjer har j tatt med Husqvarna ST 330 Snøfreser😃. Jeg satte kjettinger FØR vinteren😉
Pretty nice :) Where in Norway is this ? Our snow is gone now for a week -_-
I’m surprised that you didn’t put those chain on your tractor before it snowed out it would be a lot easier to do that without having to kneel on the ground in the snow
With the zero turn tracks, that Honda maneuvers very well in tight spaces. Impressive!!
Yes, it has electric drives on the tracks, so it is possible to run each track in different speed and direction. Makes it so easy to turn this heavy snow blower around!
good job !
Thanks! It was challenging with the heavy wind!
After each use you should find a warm building to put your tractor and snowblower in so the snow melts
Greatings fra Finnland. We had also problems last weekend with wet snow. Interesting to see how you managed to.
I did buy new 9 mmTrygg kedjor for my old Valtra 6300 , and i did shortcut for front axle old ofa 11 mm wornout kedjor. TRYGGS are really easy to put on.
Interesting to see how this thing works in Norway. Envy for your Honda blower, looks like the thing i need sometimes, but perhaps too rare. 🥶
Hi! Yes the Honda rocks! Have saved me so many times!
Hondas and Yamahas are the things that you buy for lifetime and perhaps for your sons and daughters for heritage😅 I have 25 yrs old Honda Grasscutter, and electric aggregate, and Yamahas are outboard motor and Viking 2 snowscooter, still going strong both over30 years.😁
@@ohiampuja9246 yes, I can agree to that. Yamaha makes some really nice products! Top quality 👍
Invert your PTO shaft so the shear bolt is on the tractor side. Easier to replace when it shears
Yes I would, but the PTO spline is different sizes on the tractor and the snowblower. So the PTO driveshaft only fits one way!
@@InTheVise I see. That above zero degrees snow sucks. I always have to rev the PTO in order not to jam the chute. I carry a full size ice breaking spade to unjam it. 110hp on my tractors. Check my videos, I have the same setup as you on my commercial snow removal operations
Мое мнение: поворотный отвал спереди был бы намного эффективнее
Sometimes you get a storm and it asks you a load of questions and poises problems, all of which you solved well!🤛
I noticed an instance or two where you forgot yourself and wished you had a bigger tractor. But as always, for småbruk people like us the rule of thumb is unless you pay 2x more than the whole farm cost you'll never have a big enough tractor.
And then, with a bigger tractor it will devalue faster than the few hours you can put on it is worth
You can get a cheap big tractor, but that means it's driven into the ground. So it's better to just get a smaller well maintained tractor, and a smaller but well-designed, appropriately sized, 2-stage snowblower that doesn't overwhelm the engine, and learn to use it properly and patiently 😊
It's always a learning experience.
I don't like those chute guards either, no idea what they're for really, and never seen anyone else use them (except when they're new at snow removal), better to leave them off in case of wet snow underneath the fresh snow because that stuff will just "klæbb" on like glue and then you've got the ball rolling.
Tilting the chute flap downwards is also a sure recipe for clogged chute, it adds more resistance and opportunity for the snow to clog up, I've seen a lot of pro's here in Tydal (a tad North of you I believe?) operate without the flap at all because even when fully open it's still a point of resistance.
Finally, driving too fast, at too low a PTO rpm. I couldn't tell if your PTO has independently variable RPM, but I noticed you went faster than I do with a "Just in" Case 1290 & Similar size snowblower with that amount of snow.
Personally I would have driven much slower than you did on the first day, because too much wet snow enters the auger housing and gets the volume and time to overcome the impeller & clog the chute.
The way I look at it since I first started removing snow myself, at the end of the day it really is an ever-changing lesson in thermodynamics, friction, mass & volume. No two snowfalls, even at the same depth, is really ever the same, it's always different consistency and friction, new questions & problems.
Speaking of thermodynamics, for rear window icing up I found that it's best to put the cabin heater on windshield defrosting, and put one of those fans with cigarette lighter 12v input on the headliner on the roof, above your head, to catch that hot air up top, pointed right at the rear window. Really does the trick!
Hope I don't come off as negative, I really like your videos the way they are and the way they come, you've already put a lot of effort into them. No need to change a single thing on my behalf, this is your fun and experience to be had, and you've graciously invited us along for the ride 💪👌
Why would you not have chains on before the storm ?
😍 Awesome job. Nice equipment that gets the big job done. The tractor is a beast with those chains on. :-) Excellent video too. Some of the best shots in filming snow blower in action 🇳🇴🩷/🇺🇸
Thanks😊 Yes, the chains makes a huge difference. It was just ice with slush on it underneath all the snow. So very slippery conditions.
Just an little part of Norway
Lovely clip. How close to the ground does the snowblower scrape?
You can adjust it with the top link or the skid shoes
Kjekt å se. Det gikk fint med min lille 25 Hk Iseki også å komme gjennom uværet.
Har en liten Iseki TX1300 her også med motorstopp nå. Jeg lager en video om reparasjonen. Trodde toppakningen var røket pga dårlig kompresjon. Men byttet den idag og slipte/justerte ventilene uten hell. Så mistenker nå stempelfjærene. Blir nok litt mer jobb enn fryktet!!
Turn the air conditioning on while ur in the cab it will dry the moisture out of the cab. If tractor is equipped
Har du også snøentreprenad?
Heres another suggestion get some heavey rubber and attach it to the impellar tight to the wall and it will help with clogging and throw the snow farther it can be done with a snowblower too but there u can use an old mud flap lol
Could invite a lot of trouble with impellers that size, and that wasn't the issue here.
@@ToreDL87 actually it wouldn't be a problem as all the rubber does is clean the wall of the impeller which throws the snow farther .
Kule video. 🙂 Hvor mye turtall kjører du med når du freser ?
Hei! Prøver å kjøre PTO på 540 omdr. pr min. Er som regel merket av på turtelleren.
@@InTheVise ok. 👍
😊
👍👍👍
I have never seen a rear mounted snow blower that has a forward facing inlet until now.
That is the most common type in Norway. Won’t get you a sore neck 🤣😂
@@InTheVise You dont get a sore neck from a front mounted snowblower eighter as long as its buildt for taking in snow from the front.
So that you can drive forward while blowing..
We had one late 1970s in northern norway, but as you mention i often wishd we had more power than the SHILTER UT 5000
tractor we had that had ONLY 50 hp, spesially one spring where we used it to make road thru an around 50 meter wide and 10 meter high avalange,
that blockd our village from the outer wourld and the people that regularly plowed refused to remove it bbefore spring, in case it came more avalanges.
And had to remove it by working down from the top just taking 10-15 cm each trip and 1st low gear to not stall the engine.
But yes you right, front mounted snowblowers are quite rare, most i have seen have been on say big wheel loaders and trains.
Spesially on trains it makes sence with FRONT MOUNTED becouse its hard to drive thru say 1-2 meter snow with a train EVEN
IF IT TOW A SNOWBLOWER! 😁
These are the most effective equipment imho. You just have to remember to spray the snow in the direction you are going to clear and not where you just have cleared up from snow. 😅
The problem is that when you shoot the snow on the snow you haven’t cleared yet, it will get to heavy for this tractor to clear. When you have this amounts of snow, sometimes you have to go twice anyway. And the wind can be a big challenge for the visibility when you decide the direction of the chute.
Biggest "problem" with this setup I see is that tractor has to plough through the snow before the blower clears it. Seems counterintuitive to me, but I guess it works up to a point.
@@AllajchaSibir It works when you live in a country that only use that setup, we head out early and often to keep the roads open so people can get to their jobs, get groceries and have access to emergencies.
Snow removal over here is notorious overtime work because letting people snow in, especially if/when they pay you to keep their roads clear and they depend on you, is a bad show of due courtesy & humanity, and it's what you Americans call "huge liability", can invite a lot of legal trouble, as I'm sure you very well know.
What brand is your small snowblower? That thing looks great
Honda
Do you think with a snowfall like this could you go without chains. Was thinking of getting an inverted snowblower. This could be a typical snowfall here for me in Canada. Thank you for the video and your advise.
Hi! As you see in the video, the tractor really struggles without the snow chains. This storm started with rain, so it was just ice under the snow. Really slippery conditions. And I drive in some steep hills as well. But if you only drive on flat surfaces, you could probably go without snow chains.
@@InTheVise Thank you. Very kind of you to get back to me.
Har skjøl en Westbjørn 2450 . Eg har satt min opp til rygging , så eg slepp å kjøre oppå snyen . Har og satt inn en plate i den nederste delen at utkastertuten slik at han ikke strør så mye sny oppå fressen . laga den slik at eg kan med enkelheit ta den at om den går tett .
Hei! Fresen jeg bruker har ikke mulighet til å snu rundt dessverre! Det er en Westbjørn E-2200.
A suggestion and a question. . soak the chains in oil off season then hang to dry under a bucket prevent rusting and the problems that come with it also have you thought so a snow blade on the front instead of the bucket .
That's just light surface rust, proper tractors weigh a lot so chains clean up really shiny on the snow after a few sessions anyway. The studs on the chains wear out looong before rust actually becomes an issue. And then with the oil you'll compromise your gloves too.
Blades do come in handy, but with a blade that's all you can do. With a bucket you get way more options than I can fully detail here, you can tilt it whichever way to scrape, blade, and shovel, and pick up things that you have to move around, tilted all the way forward you can lift the front end of the tractor up or hook it under a slab to lift the rear end up, etc, you can even use it as a crane when you work on rooftops etc (us Norwegians do get creative).
At a similar price to a good blade you get dozens more of areas of use and the added weight means you get more traction (depending how you lift/lower the loader) 😊
I think I would park tractor closer to house 😊lol
Good tip 👍
Use JOHN DEERE CORN HEAD GREASE on the discharge spout where it turns and should solve your problems of it seizing up and not turning.
Я бы простым отвалом быстрей все это расчистил.
Then you would need a much bigger and heavier tractor. And on some narrower roads, you have nowhere to put the snow with a blade or by ploughing when you get heavy wet snow in amounts in the video That’s when the snowblower has some big advantages! But a blade is much faster in ideal conditions and wider roads for sure!👍
Der snakker vi skikkelig vinter ja, må hvisst flytte hjem til Norge skal man ha skikkelig vinter? Vi hadde 2 uker vinter med en halvmeter snø og minus 40C, og siden har det blitt mildvær her i Montana.
Ja, ble skikkelig vinter igjen her! Det er litt gøy å oppleve!
The things you wish you would have done before the storm.
Angret du på at du ikke la på kjettingene før snøen kom? 🤣
Ja! Men uværet startet på nyttårsaften, og jeg hadde vært bortreist i juleferien.
Why do you travel with the bucket raised in the air?
For visibility!
I enjoyed your video
@@lwkinne Thanks 😉
Also with the frontloader up you get more clearance in tight corners and weight is moved to rear wheels so you get more traction which counts for a lot when snowblower is in floatmode.
Nice to met you English please and thank you.
It seams like you are running a bit to low rpm on the blower.
Trying to run the pto at 540rpm.
Toisilla on neljän tuhannen euron laite, että pääsee traktorin luo!
Korjaan 10 tuhannen euron
Worth it! That Honda is a beast! Saved me so many times, and a nice backup when the tractor breaks down!
@@InTheVise vaikuttaa tehokkaalta!
"Little"
Thats a 10000 dollar snowblower
Worth it!
@@InTheVise you can get the same effect by buying a impellerkit on a 1500$ blower btw 😅
@@nerothostv You'd be taxing the engine more than it can handle trying to get those amounts of snow with a smaller snowblower, so now you're going through smaller snowblowers and more expenses than just paying and crying once.
problem is the producers leave a gap inside by the impellers. If you fill that gap with rubber it will never clog up + it will throw the snow much much further.@@ToreDL87
Probably easier to do in early fall
Easier said than done. Sometimes you need the tractor without the chains as well!!
Den traktoren kan du stille opp ganske mye, da blir det andre boller😅 regner me at du merka forskjel når du tok av gitteret på tuten å da går det meste gjennom
Ja, den har ikke nok punch når det er tung snø.
@@InTheVise vi har tl100a som da e litt større men ca samme greia, skrudd opp til ca140 hest å den e så godt som ustoppelig😅 men i mye tung snø går det seint med alt utstyr😁
@@nilsbondaltveiten7828 ja, det er utrolig forskjell på tung og lett snø. Her får vi nesten bare tung snø, og masse vind når det først snør. Ser ingen ting når man er ute og brøyter i føyka🤣 Bare håper på å ikke havne i grøfta noen ganger!
