- Running a Metal Pless Agrimaxx 7-12 on a John Deere 4066R plowing parking lots. Unedited footage with pure tractor sounds. Enjoy the speed and agility of the plow as we maneuver around obstacles. This was just under 3" of snow on the lot, some of it packed down because of traffic.
Wow smooth operator for sure making it look easy at high speed!
Its eazy
WOW -- that was pretty impressive. By that, I mean not just the tractor and plow but also the operator who made fast work of the parking lot. It would appear that he has spent quite a bit of time with the equipment to be able to run the plow controls -- left wing, right wing, angle of attack and lifting the plow -- as efficiently as what we saw.
i was thinking the same thing. any idea what the joystick set up is? must have at least a 2nd joystick?
Whats crazy is on tractors they run over to a rear remote valve or 2 sometimes.
@@charlesbourgeois9029 sounds kinda risky but if it works i guess.
@@nocoolname32 Metal Pless controls is running on the loader joystick/remotes , then using the 3rd scv connector. At about the 7 minute mark on this video, you can see me explain whats up and how the wings work with the loader controls. th-cam.com/video/xHdOfp2YScA/w-d-xo.html
This really shows how well that machine works the power it has while in high gear is impressive and it covers a lot of ground.
I only have a few lots I can open it up on and windrow in C gear, otherwise in B 90% of the time....never in A low range blowing or pushing snow.
That plow is one of coolest things I have seen.
That was the coolest plow I have ever seen! Seems that would be even better than the back drag plows that have become popular over the last few years.
my grandpa would come unglued if i ran them rpms up so damn high! great work
Well it’s on auto throttle for the most part…and usually run about 1500 ish when plowing for better hydro response…with accumulator it takes a few extra seconds for lift/drop.
We just installed a three piece Boss rig on our truck and it’s so much more efficient and precise. You can move some serious snow and put it exactly where you want it. I cannot go back to a single blade rig after using the 3 piece
The live edge on those pushers is the coolest thing, wish they made a simple pusher for my kubota 2650
That is the coolest plow setup I've seen . Awesome tractor too . Must be nice to have a cab - my 2025r is an open station but gets the job done . Nice video .
Wow neat tracker, looks like your having fun, that thing moves fast, I need one around my shop.😃👍
I love plowing in a tractor. They’re so fast and maneuverable.
Awesome video and Tractor!
I highly recommend getting a knob for your steering wheel.
It was on order when I shot this video last year. Every plow after this I had it...sure helps a lot
@@jacobsonbros 👍 Keep the videos coming!
You’ve got some hours logged with this combo. Smooth! Productive pair!!
Brett Harrison it’s very productive! After tonight’s run I think it just turned over to 135ish hours.
Awesome! What’s the price tag on the metal pless for that size if you don’t mind me asking? I know for skid steers and mini losers they’re around 12k.
@@jacobsonbros at 3", what time it takes to do an acre?
@@vrcun I have a lot that is .93 acre, lots of back dragging and detail work with entrances and exits etc...can do that in about 45 minutes. If it was wide open i'd be 30 minutes or less I'd guess.
@@jacobsonbros that's pretty impressive. I like the video. You do a fine job with that set up. Thanks for sharing.
Time is money! Great operating!
I see a lot of guys don’t have a front Plow instead put a bunch of weights in the front ,I like your idea the weight is the plow , that must offset the weight of the blower in the back for a nice balance
Yes, it offsets perfectly. Also very handy.
Most people want a Lambo but that's what I want
Thanks for the reply it your equipment good luck 👍
We plow our DG in our town. They're always leaving them damn carts right in the way!!
Ain't that the truth. Can't tell if its just a stupid design flaw with their buildings or what. Why would you want them outside all the time.
Excellent
That sure makes short work of clearing a parking lot!
Impressive set up with a Hell of an operator
For sure not that guys first day on the job. Great operator, getting a lot done without beating up on the machine.
Yep right
He couldn’t operate my tractor I got one of 4044 cab
I could push snow all day in this beauty 💯👍
Great video!! Thank you!!!
Smooth operator!!!
Sounds like a fendt vario 940 😍
I run a 2000 model year John Deere 4200 with a loader in the winter as my snow dig out tractor and for our farm auger tractor. (Now it’s open station with hydro) and seriously it’s SUPER easy to run. You have to be a little careful around stuff with the loader and not to sink in the ditch overall it’s mostly common sense
OK COWBOY GREAT JOB NICE SNOW MOVER TO !!!
It’s official I’m jealous
Impressive
More videos! great operator, real nice set up, with snow tires.
1.) top travel speed?
2.) how are straight pushes with cement snow?
512high 20mph! Been fine pushing cement snow with wings forward, a little dicey with wings open...if super hard pack, you can beak it up with wings back first.
Also posted more videos on the channel if you want to check them out.
I'm surprised by how many in the comments here that appears to never have seen a folding wing plow before, they're very very common over here in Scandinavia. Pretty much standard equipment when clearing snow.
Omg really your so cool! Here's an award 🏆 for being you.
How much does the this plow weigh I wonder if it would work on a Toolcat would need to weight around that 800 pound range
Talk to Storm Equipment. They have a model for the Toolcat. Not sure this is it, but they will match one to your specific machine. stormeq.com/collections/plowmaxx-std-height-27
That’s so cool I want that same set up so bad haha
Как игрушка, скорость, ловкость
Are you running snow tires and what kind of LED light bar is that on the back? Great video! Getting ready to move some snow here this winter!
Nokian snow tires, LED Bars from tractorpartsasap.com
Please keep the vids comin
We get 15-20 pushes a year. Most being 2-6" pushes. 1-4 pushes in that 6-12" range. Semi wet snow for most pushes. The snow out there looks like its usually fluffy? How does it handle snow around the freezing mark? Were probably getting a 4075r. In your opinion would a 7/12 or a 8/13 make more sense at that size? The weight difference is under 100lbs between a 7/12 and 8/13.
I'd go bigger. Seems like it helps more on the smaller snows...if you have issues on the big snows, fold the wings forward to box mode, or if really bad...I've folded the wings back to plow a path, then just box mode and just keep working it. I would think the extra heavy duty front end and extra HP would handle that bigger blade just fine. Handles wet snow just fine...this isn't live edge like our sectional.
Трактор огонь но у нас снег убирают пизже!

Nice set up!! I have a 3720 I'm considering putting a Agrimaxx on. I'm curious.....does that plow want to push you around at all with that size tractor? Is traction an issue at all?? How much snow can you reasonably push with that?
Tires will be your main issue. This setup has the Nokian tri 2 winter tires instead of the standard ag tires...makes a huge difference in the pushing ability. I'd talk to your rep or call metal pless directly and talk with someone on the best size for that tractor. I would think they'd suggest a 6-11 or so. This is about right for the snows I get here in North Dakota. In box mode i can easily push a full load around while using the angle feature to help steer the front around buildings. If I max out the plow...you can always fold the wings back to at least make a path, then start pushing. I usually end up going to box mode, then riding the plow a few inches off the ground to help just "bulk off" then come back with a scrape pass.
@@jacobsonbros I thought those were the Nokians you had on there, I've heard those are terrific. Do those tires work well in the summer as well?? I do primarily yard work with mine in the summer, I was curious what you thought of there summer performance. I'm seriously considering replacing my R4's with those.
Really appreciate the feedback! It's always great to hear from guys that are actually using this stuff. Helps people like me make good investments :-) Merry Christmas!
@@russburkholder7132 I do use them in summer. I don’t do a ton of work with it in the summer...wish I had wiser wheels for them in the summer. If you have factory wheels, you may have to go with the alliance 550s....these nokians require a taller rim. My dealer Nick from RDO has a TH-cam video on the difference. Look him up. Nick Arndt.
@@jacobsonbros Ha! I already had found his video through researching Nokian tires! He makes it sound like factory R4 rims won't work, have to go to a R1 Ag rim.....I'll check out those alliance. Be nice if I don't have to buy new rims.
@@russburkholder7132 yep so if you wanna keep rims, have to go with alliance AFAIK.
Nice set up!!
What’s the size of that metalpless blade?
What’s the width with the wings fully open?
7-12, 7 closed....12ft open.
If you don’t mind me asking how much was a setup like this cost?
What size is the blade? Very nice video!
Jerred Procee AgriMaxx 7-12 and just standard edge, not live edge
Great video! Where'd you get that fender kit?
John Campbell thanks, it’s the stock one from John Deere
Tes lumières allumer..... bravo -5% de power.... it sunny cloose the Light 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have never seen this before 3:15, a steam powered Semi truck.
Quick questin do you ever wish you had outside mirrors with defrost? I'm right now trying to decide one kubota vs JD
never been an issue, tons of visibility in the cab, hardly even use them unless i'm ripping down the highway.
Love the set up wandering what is the road speed on it. Thank you
about 20MPH on the dot. Gauge shows 20.5 MPH at times.
@@jacobsonbros Thank you
Why did you consider the tractor over a front wheel loader just curious?
If you check out my other videos...i have an inverted blower on the back for residential driveways. Small town and I have a half/half mix of commercial/residential customers to service.
How much did this setup run you?
Well he is trying to help make payments on the Deere with Winter work. I am sure he can knock out these parking lots in a hour.
how did you fix you led bar on the fiber roof ? can you send me photo
Devo116 I took the roof off, only 9 nuts I think...two person job for sure. Also ran all flasher wires up in the roof. When you put it back on make sure to get the weather stripping back on correct or you’ll have heat leaking out the sides instead of inside the cab.
Check my other vid for close ups
What kind of front hitch is the snow plow mounted to?
It’s a full frame under mount that puts all the stress on the drawbar…where tractors are suppose to have the weight on. It’s from metal pless and comes with the plow.
Looks like this operator is also a subscriber to the Dirt Ninja channel. They're just running a smaller version of his Cat 926M and his 1248-24 MaxxPro MetalPless plow. Do you every use your snowblower on your commercial accounts to minimize the snow banks around the perimeter of the areas you snow plow?
I'm not a subscriber to Dirt Ninja, but have seen his videos and know what you are talking about. I sure do...not all the time where there is ample room to stack...however, on some of the smaller properties i build up a windrow, then just blow it all out into the lawns.
👍
Does live edge make plow to heavy for that tractor or is live edge over kill for this application ?
Dealer says it adds a ton of weight for this tractor. I’d love it, but probably have to move up a tractor size. There are times I wish I had it. I have an arctic sectional for my skid and that thing does clean a little better. Really depends on the sub straight you are plowing.
If you moved up the tractors size you would be missing out on that nice Hydro action forward and reverse?
Richard Rasmussen yep. This is the largest hydro tractor JD makes.
Do you run just a weight on the back?
Cyclone snow blower...check the other vids i have.
Is that the 27" or 30" high plow?
27”
@@jacobsonbros ok thanks. I'm definitely getting one..
@@terrymcgillicuddy8056Going to swap from the pusher? Get one. This will be my 5th season of tractor snow removal but first with the MP 7-27-12. It’s going to increase my productivity but I think 25% or more over a front pusher and rear blade setup.
@paybax I agree. The pusher is nice but some driveways need an angle plow. The Metal pless gives a person more options.
I am thinking of a front mount blower now. For the driveways I have, I think it's the best fit for me.
@@terrymcgillicuddy8056 Ya for residential it’s really the only option. I do Alamo exclusively Strata/HOA so doing private roads and parking lots. The MP will be perfect for that.
How hard would that set up be on residential driveways black top damage ?
Richard Rasmussen i would say none. I have a 1.5 acre parking lot that is all blacktop and there is no issues or damage. I back drag part of it away from the building and it works perfect.
🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍
What is your camera setup?
on this video, just gopro.
@@jacobsonbros thank you
How does that machine do in 8 or 9 inches of snow
Just fine...put in contain mode forward, or if its really bad, fold the wings back and plow a path first. On my largest account... I "bulked off" in contain mode, then did a second pass in high gear cleaning up the spills and leftovers. 16-22 storms a year...2-3 are big ones or blizzards.
She's done that before
What dealer sets up jd tractor, metel pless , rear blower ? I Will travel !!
Lots of dealers do up north. This particular one is RDO Moorhead MN...however I'd suggest going with your local dealer incase you have issues and need support. Ask for 4066R with snow package...comes with the Nokian tires...then the 80" pronovost cyclone blower and Agri-Maxx 7-12 with subframe mount.
Is that tractor a hydro
Yes, the biggest hydro JD makes.
Oh ok
Also it is live edge?
This one is not live edge...just standard trip edge...i think on this 7-12 its in two sections. I'm not sure you can get a Live Edge on an agrimaxx lite, that would be a questions for Jason, Paul or Bob at MetalPless.
Wait until he hits a curb going that fast! Slows u down in a hurry 😆
Funny! Unless you’ve done this location for three years and properly pre-seasoned your property. I wouldn’t be going this fast if there were curbs in my way.
but can this $30k setup outperform the poor man's rusted out Tahoe and blade all in for $5k ?
It's for sure a little more reliable.
What size rototiller and mower deck do you have on your Tahoe? 😊
Which transmission is in this tractor?
Hydro. I think its the biggest hydro tractor JD makes. I could be wrong.
@@jacobsonbros Feels similar like Fendt vario transmission
@@jancsss fendt tractors are a continuously variable transmission, different from hydrostatic.
must not be his. A little rough on the shifting guu
I think it's Hydrostatic.
Shifting? On a hydrostatic? 🤡
Wheres this at looks like a shit load of snow
East Central North Dakota.
@@jacobsonbros looks like Mayville
@@ttzie You know it!
Apparently you’ve never been to Buffalo, this is a dusting compared to the lake effect blizzards that Buffalo is infamous for.
@@jstoli996c4s Haha while this snowfall would just be a dusting for us too you're correct, Buffalo gets a lot more snow than we do. While the lake gives you more snow it regulates your temperature too, for our region it's how cold it gets that makes the winters so rough. I visited Buffalo in February a few years ago, would like to make it back when it's green, seems like a decent place even though I'm not a city person.
One thing I can say a good Operator don’t operate that fast good operator take his time Create less damage
A Good operator knows the limits of the machine and use it to enhance productivity.
You can tell he doesn’t own the machine
@@stevenrawinski sure do. You guys are all hilarious with your comments.
@@stevenrawinski you got that right
@@iracole7134 help me understand exactly what is wrong with this?
