ha ha, I love how macho you feel with this piece of equipment. I am sure you are the envy of the neighborhood. Where we live, thats kind of like the cute little walk behind machine as we use 50+ HP tractors and much larger snowblowers to move snow in Wyoming. I came across your video because I have a 328D I use for mowing our very large lawn and its an awesome piece of equipment. Interesting to see it used in this capacity. The 4wd is a very cool feature. Rock on.
I live in Fargo ND and you definitely see a few of these units around town working. All of them to my knowledge used to be mowers, the ones around here were the BIB mowers with 3 bat wings and the center assembly all that I see have turbocharged Cummins engines in them and all of them have been modified to run the blower instead of the mower decks. A buddy of mine just sold his last one and it had a 70" blower on it and it worked really well for him for years, he never needed to chain it up it just ran and ran very well. They make an extremely good mower but also do very well as a snow blower!
I loved the little wheelie you pulled at 7:38, and thought immediately of the weight box I hang on my Kubota when I need it. It's made from a steel wire milk crate loaded with old shot puts and lengths of chain, and weight about 200 lbs. I hang it with real heavy "S" hooks from my grader blade when doing heavy work with my bucket. Mounted that far back it has a tremendous effect on the tractor. For what it's worth.
I looked at Groundmasters at my last house, Was not aware they came with a blower setup. I eventually bought a used Lastec 3696. 1.5 Liter Kubota, turbo. Nice machine for cutting grass. Seems like a previous life. Good luck.
I would so love to have a toy like this...my neighbors would think I totally lost my mind as Id be out there every storm doing their walks and driveways haha I already do it now with a walk behind
Darn nice tool for sure to have for snow, especially for your area. Smaller space and good maneuverability. I love having a snow machine with heat and AC. Sure beats a shovel by far 😂
I used to live in the Shenandoah Valley in the mountains of Virginia, had 32 inches in 24 hours in 2010, what a nightmare to dig out from, finally moved in 2014 down south to the Carolinas, I don't miss the snow!
I have a ventrac with a little kubota diesel that is pretty cool but no cab. I can see a cab in my future. These are the little things that make winter a little easier to take. Beautiful rig !
I’d love a rig like that. Heated cab would be great. Every time I go out to clear snow I darn near get frost bite on my feet. (I have no feeling in my feet so I can’t tell when they get cold) My current setup is a John Deere x390 with a 48” blower. Usually takes me about two hours to clear everything.
Same here brother! I clear snow with a Kubota L3130 open station with a 5 ft. scraper blade on the back so yes I plow in reverse. It takes me about 2 hours maybe more depending on the snow to clear our driveway and you're so right I wish I had something with a enclosed cab! Lol
I've got a JD x595; no cab ☹️. It has the 47" blower. Never the less, as my father said many a time; "seems to get colder every year. He was right! I'm 20 miles west of Boston. As far as ❄️🌨️❄️🌨️ goes this year, we got a big break; less than 6" this far this winter. Paid the dealer $600.00 for pick up, full service & swap out the mower deck; put on the blower. Haven't used it once so far this winter 🌨️ ☃️ ❄️ ☃️ 🌨️.
Awesome man I take old snowblowers fix them up and sell them. This is the first year I've done this. I have 4 vintage snow lowers. 3 for sale. The Toro I'm keeping
Blizzard has a weird definition and is different depending on location, here in Atlantic Canada it’s sustained winds over 4 hours above 40km/h I believe.
He's oblivious to the fact that he was west of the real blizzard conditi9ns. This storm had a sharp cutoff line. My hometown got over 24" and actually hit blizzard conditions. I believe it's 4 hours over 30mph and under 1/4 mile visibility here in the states.
I have a Kubota F3060...30hp kubota diesel and a 52 inch snowblower with cab. It doesnt even compare to a 50hp diesel pto 72 inch snowblower. THAT is impressive
The 3990 we have, sorry. It is 39 HP. No blower is really good in wet snow. Thats why we also have the V plow on the Toro. They each have their place..
@@mattmargerum9618my WoodMaxx 72 inch blower on the 50hp pto tractor has been unstoppable...even in slushy snow. Coat the entire auger and chute with ceramic spray
I would like to ask you if you don't mind where did you get the Joystick from if you don't mind asking because I have a toro 325d 4wheel drive and I and problems with my toggle switch breaks off or doesn't work after 3 times of use
@@truckerray7533 yeah the F3990 is the biggest front mounted lawn mower in the class wich is powered with a 39.6hp kubota engine wich is a monster of a hp lawn mower
@@truckerray7533 yeah its about $27,000 at my dealer with the 54 or 60 or 72 or 108 inch decks or $30,000 with all other attachments included and ac and heated cab wich isnt bad and ten times way cheaper then paying rediclas $202,000 for a holder tractor with blade
No and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles will not give you one if you ask. Not suppose too have them on John Deere Gators or that type of vehicle also.
What brand snow blower is your 50 inch blower? Where in MA are you, I am in Boston. I have a Jacobson, almost identical to yours with the 24 HP kubota diesel. Looking for a place to buy and install snow blower for it. Thanks. Jim
What a badass set up. I miss my old groundsmaster.

it looks like you are having too much fun.
I couldn’t decide between this and a cordless SnowJoe.
Snowjoe?
@@karzygijose snowjoe is a little cordless snow blower.
I think SnowJoe would do just fine....after the 7th battery charge.
🤔🤣
Great video. I never saw one of those
Nice piece of equipment, thanks for the vid!
Looks like fun times 😃
I would lower the skid shoes. Seems like a left quite a bit on top of asphalt to freeze up again. Unless your driveway is gravel..?
Yeah it’s gravel 😝
#natick............john lennon glass very kool..........
where does the dog sit?
Watch out for those yard gnomes. They’ll take out a windshield!

Their blizzard is our friday afternoon dusting here in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Always rev it up after you engage the PTO never before!!! That's how thing break. Great video though!
Man that thing has some power so I'm assuming you can hook up a front bat wing mower or just a 72-in or 60 inch front deck and mow as well
Nice setup. 👍
I would kill to have one of these!
I think I’d set the skids on the blower so it would remove the additional 2 inches of snow you’re leaving behind! 🤷🏻♂️
It’s more like an inch, I have gravel under there that’s why I keep it high 😉
That baby is clean.
Nice!!! I have a Toro 418
Where did the muni plates come from?
I have the same question.
He stole it from his old job 🤷
Mass tax payers must love this
I hand stamped it 😊
You’d make a great neighbor
14 inches? Looks more like 6"
Where can you find one I want one just like yours with the cab and everything
Nice machine!
With what you have I'm very jealous lol
Sexy rig. Fuzzy dice 🎲 👍
Where did you get Mumbles Menino's official plate?
🤣🤣
I have a Kubota F3060...30hp kubota diesel and a 52 inch snowblower with cab. It doesnt even compare to a 50hp diesel pto 72 inch snowblower. THAT is impressive
I got the F3090. I think shes 39HP with the 52" blower. Its an awesome machine and kicks ass! I have videos of it
We also have an old 94 Toro 345 with the 48" v plow.
@@mattmargerum9618 I think thats 30 hp. I find that its not impressive with wet snow at all.

I feel bad for the Toro. It doesn’t deserve to live that long in Massachusetts. Set it free.
Haha actually I got it from PA!
@@MAsWorld1 that’s where I’m at, it must be a very fine machine then… hehehehe
Where in Pa did it come from?
@@RockStarKidsMom Sorry I can’t remember but you lost a good one ha ha
If I had this I'd do the whole small town here lol 4000 people live in this village or town whatever ya wanna call it lol
This dude sounds like Bill Belichick!! 😂
How much does it cost
Correct me if I'm wrong but from here it looks like it leaves about an inch and half of snow on the ground.
Gravel driveway set up about an inch
Nice toro
? DO YOU HAVE A CUP HOLDER ? For a COLD 🥶 BEER 🍺!
A beer? Really need something stronger and a lot of it! But yes cup holders.
2a Lexington
That’s just a dusting around here.
Cool how you were able to register it. I wonder if i can do the same thing in my state
I wasn’t
That is a municipality tag or plate. Perks of being taxpayer funded employee.
Супер класс 👍
How much did you pay for that setup? Or is it rude to ask?
I think $7k & it needed some work to get it in tip top condition.
Looks like you took state property home to make this video.
Looks can be deceiving 😉
I would like to ask you if you don't mind where did you get the Joystick from if you don't mind asking because I have a toro 325d 4wheel drive and I and problems with my toggle switch breaks off or doesn't work after 3 times of use
I got it cheap on EBay, you have to use four 12v relays too.
@@MAsWorld1 thank you for the invitation
Why do you make it sound like its yours when it has Mass public reg plates on it
Mass official plates
He just threw it on there for kicks
@@pitts3219 thanks for being soo smaht! ✅
Why is there municipal plates on this thing? And why are you doing private property with apiece of property that belongs to the city.
Absolutely not
I could certainly use this puppy to bury my noisy neighbors alive
Ego eater😂😂😂
Was this a mower at one time or is the official use for it?
yeah its a mower its a 4 season use machine its sames as the kubota F series multipurpose
@@michaelmactavish4445 Copy that, 10-4! It looks purty awesome, to be honest with ya!

You need to learn the nuance of pointing down when blowing snow
Does Mass. require license plates on lawn care equip.?
No, but don’t blink !
No and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles will not give you one if you ask. Not suppose too have them on John Deere Gators or that type of vehicle also.
Where I was, it was a kind lame blizzard.
Yeah I wouldn’t have called it a blizzard either!
It looks like it works good but what a goofy looking unit. I wouldn't drive that thing, Ill stick with my 1025.
Goofy indeed, but an awesome tool !
just had to watch this again ! did u ever think about antifreeze in the back tires for more weight ?
They’re kinda small it wouldn’t add much weight, plus it’s not really a problem
Lol.. That machine for that tiny tiny yard haha Do you also own a yacht that you sail in a retention pond
Livin’ large , haha
Mass state plate...why is it in your driveway instead of working for the state
State says as soon as I finish Logan airport I can do my driveway 🤣

Check out my channel there’s a video walk-around of the whole unit
Nice machine. I have a gravel driveway too. Gets frustrating when stuff packs and freezes into a sheet of ice. :/ Looking into the PCV pipe mod
Love the mini combine style, looks great.💯
Dream machine for sure
That thing is awesome
Hey i live over in reading ma been looking for one of these beasts any idea where i can find a clean one like this
I found it online
I didn't think it was 20 years old. Curious what did you pay fort his
I think 7k
movers suck because they are not designed for winter use. they break all the time chains and cables freeze up belts wear out
Not this one it’s very reliable if you take care of it , the kubota engine is a real benefit!
why a license plate on mower?
Need a plate to throw snow over 75’
