Thank you for your videos. About three weeks ago, my husband had foot surgery and has been housebound. Luckily, before his surgery, we mounted the snowblower on the tractor which is Kabota M9540, and the rear mounted snowblower is a Buhler farm king. I don’t often drive the tractor and have never used it to blow out our half mile, shale-covered road. I made sure the skids were raised high because the last thing I wanted to do was replace a shear pin. We live in Wyoming and had quite a snowstorm with many days of wind, so it was a daily occurrence to open up the road. We always keep the tractors (we also have a little John Deere 3046 R) plugged in and add diesel treatment before it gets too cold. Anyways, my point is that of all the snowblower tractor videos I watched to get some information, yours was the only one that talked about lubricating, diesel fuel additive and how to blow out a crowned road correctly. I use the John Deere tractor to clear under the gates since I use a box blade as ballast since we feed our horses bales that weigh 600 lbs. Just wanted to thank you again for a concise and informative video.

Gord, I used to truck for a living and we used to go to James Bay, the Saguenay and Labrador and we were not allowed to have fuel conditioner with us. Methyl hydrate is the only thing you should add to your fuel. At the gate to James Bay at Mattagami Qc. our trucks were inspected to make sure we had all the proper equipment. Shovel, jack, chains, spare tire, rope, sleeping bag...etc. If they found fuel conditioner they would confiscate it. Apparently, it attracts moisture. Methyl hydrate removes moisture. Never in 25 years of trucking way up north did I ever have a gelling issue

Up here in the mountains of Montana, the snow blows and creates huge drifts on my driveway which is one mile long and drops 1000 feet in that mile and has several twists and turns. Good advice on turning and avoiding being a gravel sprayer. Been there and I've broken countless sheer pins. When I service my road I minimize the crown, water still flows laterally and have raked off all of the big stones. No more sheer pin breaks...yet. There"s easy going down, but tough going coming up in a 25 HP tractor. I've found that adding ballast to the rear by holding a concrete weight which I made, on my 3 point hitch has made traction much better going up. My rear chains are the same as yours but for some reason when the temperature is just right for making wicked snowballs, the snow sticks to my chains and makes big lumps and negates the chains. Good practice for bronc rodeo riding though. Have you had a similar experience with your rear chains? My front chains are a different "V" configuration and they do not collect snow. Thanks for the tip on chain lube, also if you spray the augers and chute with WD40 it helps to keep snow from packing and sticking. Very much appreciate your videos. Thank you.

Another great video Gord. I hate being cold. I was wearing long johns in October for the last 3 weeks of cutting season. I have a few different pairs but the best one's I have are made of smart wool. My daughter worked in a higher end ski shop during university and got me the top and bottoms. I walk her dogs everyday in the winter through the bush 5 km and I'm always warm. Clearing snow for yourself is relaxing for me. When I did it for 25 years clearing schools it was nothing but stress. People's expectations are far too high.

Another excellent video. I live on 40 acres in northern Minnesota with a B2301 and a 3-pt snowblower, and I have gotten lots of use from this channel, so thank you! It should be noted (at 2:52), the wheel spacers will push your tires out about 5" on either side. I bought chains for my machine, but my driveway is flat enough that I don't need them, and the spacers push my tires out farther than I'd like for my summer trails. (BTW, anybody local looking for cheap tire chains, let me know. Used once.)

@GPOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Thanks kindly. An happy they have helped a bit. I just bought the Kubota OEM spacers ( 1 3/8" on each side) but I have seen many others available on the market that will offer wider spacers. Good luck selling the chains - I am sure they will go quickly. Happy Holidays!

To prevent the blower blade digging into the ground it is a good idea to have shoes or slides on the bottom. The first blower we had I had to install shoes. The one we have now came with shoes installed.

GP, great video! A lot of words of wisdom, and great tips. This video is very useful, especially for people who are new to using a tractor to remove snow. Never knew about gravel and letting it freeze before snow blowing over that area. I am very spoiled with pavement, which is a different experience. Mostly, the biggest issue is plowing when the ground has not frozen. The danger is ripping up the expensive pavement. Hmmmm. I guess pavement and gravel have the same issues! Anyways, still no snow and still warm here in Southern Maine. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

I'm in Northeastern Ontario where we haven't had much snow yet but the little bit we did receive was handy to get a feel for floating the plow which works great. My snow blower is a rear mount forward driven type so I don't always have to have my head looking out the back. Thank you.

Hey Gord! Great video! A lot of great information!!! I’ve never used a front mounted blower so those tips and tricks, now that you pointed them out, make a lot of sense. Regarding traction, on your B series, you had industrial tires…. I didn’t notice what you have on your LX, but if you have industrials as well, that is most likely why your traction is lacking. I had an LX2610 like you but with R14 tires filled with liquid ballast. I now have an MX5400. I have about 2km of roads around my property with extremely steep hills…. Although I did and still have a rear mounted and facing blower. I’ve never had any issues with pushing through the snow without chains or studs. Up or down the hills. Something to keep in mind when it’s time to change those tires. 😊. Keep up with the great content!!!!

Hi, GP. I've already figured out a lot of the techniques in your video but you did bring up a couple that I hadn't considered yet... like the pin punch to knock out the broken shear bolts. One extra thing that I did that makes a huge difference when clearing snow around obstacles was install a backup camera that I bought on Amazon. The combination of the side mirrors and the camera have decreased my twisting around in the seat by about 90%. And I also look forward to clearing snow in the winter, now that I've added a cab model Kubota (B2650) to my inventory.

For snow blower and mower applications you might like using Fluid Film. It's a lanolin-based agricultural lubricant that weathers well and keeps snow, grass, etc from sticking to the walls or blades of your equipment. For mower decks, keeping grass from clumping on the underside helps prevent rust from forming.

Gord, I have a 2019 B2650 with cab similar to yours. Doing my winter prep as well, let’s talk wiper blades. Front is a 16” standard J hook direct replacement. I called my local dealer about the back 12” blade, apparently the assembly arm and blade come as a unit, $110 US. Any thoughts, solutions, options? Keep up the great work! Len

Wow - I didn't know that - I am sorry I can't help but thanks for the heads up. Boy that seems awfully excessive. Best of luck and thanks again for sharing the info!

@@GPOutdoors so after looking at it closer the blade does come off and the connector is similar to the round bar style like a Subaru. Lift the wiper arm off the rear glass, gentle tilt the blade off the arm. Many of the wiper blade manufacturers for 12” rear blades come with various mounting options to accommodate. The Trico replacement blade worked and for $14 US that’s much better than $100+ for the entire arm. Cheers, Gord

Is there any way to order the jacket you have with the patch on it?

@GPOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Morning Ben. So sorry but I don't sell them. I had a one time order a few years ago that I gave away to you folks at Christmas and the wholesaler no longer carries them. All the best!

I did indeed. I had the dealer install them when I bought the tractor. Cheers!

My driveway is down hill. A steep down hill. So far I have not needed chain or anything else. My drive is also Black top so my first pass down hill I take it as low as I can clear it. Most times my black top is totally cleared. Coming back up for the second pass one set of tires are on bare payment. Again so far I have not had any problems. But I will tell you every time I make the first pass down hill MY butt tightens up.

:)) Good evening Bear! LOL! Yup, probably very different for paved driveways. But it sounds pretty steep. Have a great weekend!
