A John Deere 324L compact wheel loader showing what it’s capable of doing commercial snow removal equipped with Nokian snow tires and a Metal Pless Plowmaxx non live edge plow.
I think these can be factory spec'd on the JD (Leibherr) compact wheel loaders now. Your JD dealer should be able to price these Nokian's out for you. Sit down when he gives you the number lol, they are extremely worth it though!!
@@tator05 I knew they were pricey but can’t find anything online for the 365/70r18 that’s on the loader so they must be a different size. Even on nokians site I can’t find anything, just wondered if there was a cross over size!
I just finished a 13 hour shift in one of these things; exact machine but with 10' HLA box plow. The word cramped now has new meaning, and at about 2am I began to wonder how much my employer hates me. It is step up from a JCB, which they inflicted upon me two seasons ago. 🇨🇦
Nice video, what size metal pless are you running. Is it a good size for that machine? I just bought a 12' live box for a simular size loader. Looks like you have snow tires. Do they help a lot?
Not my machine or MP. Looks like an 0830-13 which that 324 would handle well. The pushers are super nice too, you’ll be happy with it. The Nokian tires make pushing that much better and work really well with how clean a surface the MP leaves for traction.
@@tator05 Ok thanks for the info. I do like mine so far but only have one push in with it. I was using a rubber edge box before. One more question, with my livebox, when I put it in float then go forward, the mount does its thing but it seems to lift the front tires off the ground and I lose some traction and turning traction. Do you notice that?
@@joeskowronek6416 What machine are you running with that 12 ft box? I have a CAT 908M, I have a metal pless 8-36-14 wing plow with live edge, i was told from day one , DO NOT OPERATE in float mode! Pretty sure that's why its digging in (at least for wing plow) You can go to metal pless check out all the videos, they state so in one of them. Hope this helps
@@joeskowronek6416 I’ve never been around a Livebox yet but would love to see one operate. Don’t they have a slip hitch where your coupler and the blade meet? In that regard you wouldn’t want to put your loader in float mode, that would defeat the slip hitch and cause extra wear on your LiveEdge. These plows all have to be taught how to set down on the ground just right where you get the right “music” from the cutting edge making that pingy, rattle noise.
Even though it’s quite a bit more money there is ZERO comparison on Live Edge vs Non Live Edge. This blade on this unit is a solid performer but doesn’t hold a candle to Live Edge.
Best blade ever made, my co worker got one and after using it I really hate going back to a normal rubber edged pusher
Do you have a tire size for these tires? Having trouble finding a good winter option for my 244

Great video! Greetings from Espen in Norway👍 Nothing runs like a Deere
Tator05 😎 ya gotta new sub
Nice vid just got a 910Cat and a 10-42-18 I’m a Deere guy but couldn’t find a 344l till the end of Feb I’m liking the cat though
Awesome video
For a little machine it plows pretty good. Just gotta be on it. ✌
So much more efficient than a pickup.
Tell it has to go across town
@@229chrisdthese do 23 mph going across town is fast. My truck just sits as backup these mini loaders with a Pless will plow circles around pickup

Snow tires are the next best investment other than the blade. They are a game changer.
Handy in a tight spot....great footage thanks
i got a non live edge too and have the same shit scrape. too bad their B product tis more like a D product.
