I’ve had one for 12 seasons now, best machine and blower in most snow and ice. In wet snow you must go slow and have chute cleaning tool ready because it does jam. If you have inside corners, loading docks etc it’s great. Got snow blade now for small amounts and wet snow.
@fulks19 I bought 2 5600 Toolcats, one with a v-blade and one with a 6' snow blower for use at a Virginia University last winter. During "Snow Meggeddon" in February they worked great, making the Kubota RTV 900 & 1100 that we had look like toys by comparison. BTW, every UTV would slip with that type of weight (like the blower) offsetting the center of load as it does. Even skid steers have the same problem.
@fulks19 I'm not happy with the way the four wheel drive does not operate as described on the Bobcat web site and when you do get stuck the hydrolics do not have enough travel to push yourself out. I do like the machine and I do use tire chains. This is at a small ski area at 2000 feet elivation where I use this machine for about 250 hours blowing snow during the winter.
What is your thoughts about this machine I have the opportunity to purchase one pretty reasonable person just wants to get rid of it low hours very clean machine how does it work good please comment back thank you
Every tool has its good points and bad points. It's very maneuverable. the hydraulic movement on the bucket does not allow you to tip it down far enough to push yourself out if you get stuck.
50 K.. WOW. I would go with a tractor. But I have to admit that little thing is cool. If I win Loto I will buy both. Oh fuck it I will buy one for each day of the week..LOL Nice video. Where in VT are you?
That is one of the nicest snow blowing videos I've seen. Your comment that the Tool Cat 5600 gets the job done "without too many problems" makes me wonder if you are not completely satisfied with the equipment. It sure made short work of clearing that deep snow from your driveway. The setting is very pretty! Were you using chains?
@flurpy123 About 50K with high flow, road lights, extra set of optional larger terf tires on wheels, high flow blower, high dump bucket, standard bucket and forks.
I generally would purchase something from a nearby dealer so getting parts and service if needed is easier. The width should be slightly wider than your machine mine is 66 in wide.
I would just have say : Its my money , I do what I want with it... Nice vid , do you have the HighFlow on your ? Mine doesn't and I quit regret when using the Snowblower to clear the snow at my airport.
Been watching similar clips by other owners, looks like such a versatile machine (mini unimog)...never seen one in the UK....thanks for posting, if you can please post more 👍
I have tried heated wipers on the truck and like them but have not tried them on equipment yet. I have switched things up and am not using the bobcat for blowing very much anymore just for loading blowing mostly with the tractor nowadays

Nice having good equipment to deal with big snow. Thanks for posting.
It sure is, thanks for watching!
if you can afford it, i highly recommend picking one up, they are so choice.
Finally someone that knows how to use a snow blower and not abuse the equipment.

@g5todd I have a snow removal business. If you watched some of my other videos you would see my other equipment.
Perfect. Make more videos like this!
@Mikes1000Toys It gets the job done without to many problems.
50 K.. WOW. I would go with a tractor. But I have to admit that little thing is cool. If I win Loto I will buy both. Oh fuck it I will buy one for each day of the week..LOL Nice video. Where in VT are you?
This is at the Bolton Valley Ski area. The base of the resort where I do a lot of plowing is at 2000' elevation.

Should I get a bobcat snow Blower or is there a better one and width?
I generally would purchase something from a nearby dealer so getting parts and service if needed is easier. The width should be slightly wider than your machine mine is 66 in wide.
Are you looking to sell it or no
I would just have say : Its my money , I do what I want with it... Nice vid , do you have the HighFlow on your ? Mine doesn't and I quit regret when using the Snowblower to clear the snow at my airport.
Have you still got the same machine?
Yes, 2008. 2,646 hours
