- A Cat 966K loader with a large self powered Kodiak snow blower working along the railroad tracks near Big Lake, Minnesota. The last minute of the video shows the machine running full bore throwing three foot deep chunky snow that was plowed away from the tracks. The plume of steam and smoke seen in the distance towards the end of the video is from Xcel Energy's Sherco power plant in Becker, Mn.
Here is a link to more info from Kodiak.

Now, that's what I call a snow blower! Great engine sound! I just love it! Thanks.
Glad that you like the machine, Donald. I think it's pretty cool, too. Thanks for commenting!👍
@@TomandJulieMineExploring I couldn't do otherwise! When there's a good quality video, I will comment. I could have listen to this snow blower for hours! Thank you so much for such a great video. Hope for more like these. God bless! ❤❤
@@donaldgodin3491 Thank you, Donald!😊
Oh wow....I live in Annandale area for the past two decades and havent seen one of these yet. Cool blower. Theres something so mesmerizing about watching snow cleanup in action. Ive never seen a train ploy or blower either...even though I cross a track every day. Weird i say
I can hear the whispering pines of Annandale from here. Thanks for the comment, Sharon.
Love the engine sound of that mean machine! :)
That blower is a BEAST! Thanks for the video. I subscribed
Yes it is. Thanks for the support, Mitch!
Our city has a fleet of these, as does most cites I would think.Especially in the snow prone areas of the country. They make great spectator 'sport' to watch in action.
Reg Sparkes Yes, fun to watch Reg.
Must be No. 2, as I remember my childhood in Montreal and St. Laurent the Sicard Snowmaster was THE machine.
If you’re from Quebec you have brain damage anyway. No one cares.
its a 100 today in California, i ate some ice cream and watched your video, now i am cold. LOL
That’s a good idea. This blower was working on the RR tracks just a couple blocks from our house in Minnesota.
@@TomandJulieMineExploring that's what I was thinking. It can be cold there
Hey that’s me lol thing is bad ass and was fun to run
That's great to hear from you, Mat. Were you working for the railroad?
I wonder what would happen if a person fell in front of this while it was chewing up the snow. I imagine there'd be a flash of red in the plume being blasted out of the exhaust.
I think there would be. It wouldn't take long that's for sure.
I saw you joined HPG so came to check out your channel. You have a nice mixed bag of content too. Cheers!
Thanks for coming over to my channel and I'd love to have you as a subscriber.
Absolutely! Im number 884
Thanks I appreciate it.
That’s a cool piece of yellow Iron. Thank you👍
You're welcome and you think a lot like I do. That's one cool machine. I'd love to have you as a subscriber for hiking and RV fun.
I subbed but you wont see it on your Sub list, I have it set on private. you have a great channel, got to get to 1k 😀
Thanks, John. I really appreciate it!
No problems, I like channels like yours. Good luck.
He is playing, that is what he is doing.
With a big toy.
So why can't they just use the payloaders power to drive the blower does it not have hydraulic hook up or enough power
Not enough power. These are very powerful engines driving the Kodiak. In the video description there is a link to stats on the blower straight from Kodiak. Thanks for the comment! .
Hey there Tom, what is the horse power on the engine that drives the auger? It sure gets the snow out of the way. Take care and Merry Christmas
Greg Adomeit Thanks for the question. I never did know exactly which model this was but I believe it's around 500 HP. If you want more detailed information here is a link to Kodiak. Merry Christmas to you, too! www.kodiakamerica.us/snowremoval
in montreal airport we have a couple of them that are alot bigger and crazy .... one sounds like a jet engine when it eat heavy snow lol cool vid tho
+Marc-andre znarcuss Thanks, Marc.
Is Julie gonna drive that thing in the next episode?
Haha, you better stay back if she does. I'll run the video camera.
The end of the video looks like my ex-wife talking and eating a snow cone at the same time....
Okay, now that has me laughing. I'm guessing she was an active talker? I don't want to say anything bad about your ex.😂
I wonder how much the snowblower attachment weighs? 10,000 pounds wouldn't surprise me.
+Boyd W I'm not sure which model this is exactly but the biggest Kodiak blowers weigh over 18,000 pounds.
A bucket full of dirt could weigh that much also.
+Boyd W Good point. I can say from standing next to this machine that both the loader and blower are very hefty.
yep
That's so awesome I've never seen those before oh and Im Zleezo greyZ the person who was talking to you about that scary mine that had broken timbers I changed my name and profile pic
Yes, this is an impressive machine. I like your new name. Thanks for the comment.
Could you imagine that thing chewing on a car.
That would get a little ugly.
I would presume all snowblowers to be...cool.
Good pun. All kidding aside, yes they are, especially when you want to move a lot of snow. In this case one is moving the length of a long stretch of railroad track. Tons and tons of snow. Thanks for the chuckle!
Seems lika overkill for a few inches.😆
Three feet.
👍👊😎
Thanks, George!
Note these machines are throwing the snow not blowing big difference . Even my toro throws snow please people use right word
Good day .

Its technically both since its throwing as what you saw near the end, blowing when he maneuvered and stopped to do a final tail cleanup before doing the latter.
looks like typical inefficient american technology
I can appreciate someone being critical about American technology. Hopefully, you aren't hypocritical, because I'm guessing that you are using several important American technologies in your everyday life.
