I live in AZ now but spent decades in MN. I immediately recognized Bryan's stiff face from the cold and blowing snow after snowblowing. ❄

Next investment would be a heated cab both for comfort and safety. Your driveway is real long a cab would make for a safer environment for you. Had one on the tractor at work allowed for longer work time outside and protect against frost bite for the blowing snow.

This is an amazing video you guys put together! Beautiful property! Thank you for the review. We appreciate your business.

the blower did a great job. glad it helped you. i could tell brian liked it by the smile on his face

Very cool. So glad it's working out for you guys. Looks like it's going to be a great investment. With a driveway that size, you definitely need the right tool for the job. Look forward to seeing more.

Amy your videos are improving every time you post...fantastic! That's a really good snowblower attachment!

Thanks for getting the end of the driveway!! Always appreciated.

That is awesome! Congratulations on another milestone in Mountain Living!

Nice wrench. Always comes in handy when you don't have a big enough open-end wrench. I rarely use mine but it's nice to know it's there! Looks as if the snowblower was a worthwhile purchase. I wish you continued good luck with it! The first snow I handled about four years ago with my new snowblower was 28"! That is a "dramatic" snowfall as you put it. I was blowing snow across the street into my neighbors yard. I was sold instantly!

Nice work Brian....A nice piece of equipment like that with all available attachments is invaluable in backwoods living...the amount of hours and physical effort saved will be equal to years in even short time... ...Loved the intro ... ..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....

Boy that's going to be a BIG help 👍 love the moose's great job. Stay safe 🎈

Good job Bryan, Amy good coverage on the snow blower. Love the snow.

Hello from Rockford, Illinois, I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. I find it very interesting, thank you for sharing.

Awesome snowblower! Game changer!

Nice! We actually ended up with 6 inches here in Rio Rancho NM!! That's the most I've ever seen here! Poor plants, we here in the south west usually don't have to worry about winterizing our plants to late November! Smiles and blessings...

Good video guys. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to future ones 💪

Hi Amy and Brain, if your having a problem with snow clogging the discharge or the auger spray it with Pam or an equivalent cooking oil spray. It works great!

Wow the kids will love it you must be well pleased with that

So jealous of you right now. I lived around Colorado springs/ Woodland Park/ Florissant areas in late '80s. Beautiful country!

Holy Cow Amy & Bryan.. that looks like a fun tool to.have.. and yes it does save a bunch of time. Stay warm there, and stay safe. I hope we don't need to pull any snow blowers out here in Utah for a while. You might ask why? Well because I'm staying in a RV right now became stuck when I had to move from where I had rented almost 4 years. The owner had to sell. So I'm praying the snow holds off. Also feel for ya Bryan.. I would look for some kind of a canvas cabin to put up on your tractor kind of like certain jeeps have. Then you wouldn't look like a frosted popsicle. L.O.L. Take Care.

That makes for great video! Wish I had need for one of those down here (Arvada).

That was fun. Video and music is great.

I see a nice shed in the future for the tractor. Protect that investment. The elements are so hard on equipment. I see a lot of use for that snow blower. Thanks for sharing!

The part where your Shepherd started jumping on you had me rolling!😂😂😂

Works Fantastic, Nice Machine‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Great snowblower. I have 2001 dk45 Kioti. My cousin has 2002 dk 35. You will enjoy many years off labor saving life with your kioti

That'll work look simply marvelous

Good stuff. Mighty smart getting the snow blower. Hope you don't mind me saying hope you get lots of snow soon.

Good addition for your homestead. A long driveway and lots of snow. Needs the right equipment to manage it.

That thing is epic!!! We need to make some jumps or hills and sled them!!! Great shots of the moose!!

We live in mountains of western md we get a fair amount of snow also. We spent the extra money for the front mount blower and a good back blade on the rear. Also a cab, we all have wants and needs. Just something you learn over the years.

We have one on the front of our skidsteer. It really shines when the snow is over a foot deep so the fan can create some suction. It will clear it down to the gravel. Less than 8” it just kinda moves it around a bit.

Looks Like a Nice snow Blower

Got the same snowblower, and the equipment to mount to a skid steer. Probably shipped in with the same batch as yours. Cannot wait for snow now.

Thoroughly enjoy keeping tabs on the progress of your different projects. Always looking for tips & tricks from KZfaqrs, only wish I had a cousin, buddy or brother in law as handy as Bryan. Ha Heard ya'll mention maybe adding a light bar to the tractor, wanted to share my recent experience. I added extra lights to my 3 tractors last January. Pkg included one 20" LED light bar, two 4" LED flood pod lights, wiring harness/switch and all the mounting hardware. Still the same price I paid back in January $44.61 with free shipping for this 3 light pkg from Wmart.com We've put lots of night time hours on all 3 tractors since January - hay cutting, brush hogging and foodplot discing, dragging & planting, zero issues at this point. I can't put into words how much we LOVE all the additional lighting, especially beyond the tractor's standard lighting. My son joked we could light up a football field now and I think he's right. Admittedly I really didn't expect to get the quantity & quality that I received for that price, but it's far surpassed my expectations, and now after 10 months far surpassed any skepticism I had pre-purchase. Hope this info proves useful and maybe even time saving for ya'll. Best Wishes from The Ozarks. FYI here's a link to the pkg I purchased: www.walmart.com/ip/Nilight-20Inch-126W-Spot-Flood-Combo-Led-Off-Road-Led-Light-Bar-2PCS-18w-4Inch-Flood-LED-Pods-With-16AWG-Wiring-Harness-Kit-2-Years-Warranty/710552242

Nice. Good little test. Make sure you keep some shear bolts on hand. Way back when, growing up on the farm we had a blower like this and we got a LOT of snow. Breaking shear bolts was a common occurrance pushing into deep hard snow that was drifted over

All that snow dust makes me shiver.

How the heck is your Neck Brian? Smart guy Arny said get mirrors and use the mirrors😂 No way hoseA and no way hose b. You have to crank your neck as you do this to control the angle of throwing the snow and the up and down of the thrower. Anyway it will save time for sure and Amy will gladly massage your neck right??👍 Snow blowing with mirrors is funny, the mirrors will be covered in two minutes😂❄️

Well that looks like it works pretty good. Brian will need the chiropractor though that's a lot of looking back it really does throw the snow. So good that you got it you don't have to worry about the fire now

Glad I'm getting a front mounted snow blower. :-)

I can tell by your smiles on your faces what you think of your new toy. Just get a good snowmobile suit and you should be all set. I used to have so much fun blowing snow with my tractor that I would go around and do the neighbors driveways also. The neighbors would buy me diesel fuel and their wives were always bringing me homemade cookies and bread.

Wahoo...rent that out to the ski resorts..thanx Amy & Bryan...viggo is so well behaved around those moose..our huskies would be gone!🤣stay safe stay sweet!💜💕

Awesome and stay safe, God bless

Drive on it a few times before you blow it off. That way you have a base and not picking up rocks or digging in. First snow I usually still drag the blade around.

I put a little roof and a back window on mine and it sure did help the snow from blowing in my face

Good amount of snow you guys have. Where i'm at here in Canada, there are still leaves on the trees and 55*F days

I did not know Colorado has Moose!. That would be so cool to watch them.

you appreciate that thing now your really goin to appreciate it when you get those 2-3ft snows

When your dog jumps on you, raise your leg so your knee bumps into him, after a while the dog will get the message and quit jumping on you.

If you like the Woodmaxx snow blower, and you need/want a chipper, Woodmaxx sells some nice ones...I have the WM-8H....does great!

Next year or so, I bet Brian will get a front mounted snow snowblower ... 😎.

No more hours of fun to push the snow 👍

now thats a snowblower!

You can purchase snow plow casters to stop the snowblower from digging into the drive. We used to install 4 one per corners then run the tractor in float mode. We got them from O.J. Watson in Commerce City CO.

You live in a beautiful place

Snowblower looking good - maybe you should consider installing some driveway markers with reflective tape on each side of the road, just to make it easier to follow the driveway when the real winter sets in?

Bryan et le champion son tracteur fait du bon travail ca fait plaisir bravo 😊🤗🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷bisous de France

I told you you would love it.. now as you get into deeper snow you might want to put some snow in the bucket the kind of use it as a counterbalance that'll help you control that digging in to the ground. Also I don't know if you have a high and a low in your transmission but you want to run it in low gear so you can run up the RPMs to throw the snow a little bit further. You'll figure it out

One more thought here Amy & Bryan.. when you finally figure out how to close in your tractor one thing will be be a plus is no more icey Butt I know your warming the oil through where the dip stick goes, maybe you could put a heating pad on the seat to warm that up for you on a separate extension cord. Just a thought.

Subscribed! My advice, invest in a pair of ski goggles to wear while using the snow blower!

Lite snow doesn't take much power. Wet snow takes a lot more power but blows further. Somehow snow always manages to blow back on you. A cab to keep the snow from blowing back on you would be good. I wonder how a mirror or back up monitor would work so you don't have to look back all the time. Gets hard on the neck. Bad thing about a snow blower is that if it hits anything it can do a lot of damage with what it hits and the blower. I hope you have shear pins on hand in case you need them. Sometimes they brake for seemingly no reason.

I was looking at your window trim with the big screw heads showing. I would of used finishing screws. With tiny little screw heads to help hide the screws and also on the house siding where the screws are showing.

You could use cooking spray oil like PAM. To help slick up the snow machine

WINTER HAS COME..... We've had our first snow fall here too

Just idea, when ever I go out to play on the BX I use ear plugs to help kill some of the noise. I hope you are wearing something to help you so you don't loose your hearing.

I read through comments... such good suggestions from your viewers. So how was driving 'backwards'? Question. Do you plan on putting snow poles in to mark the driveway? Or maybe you've found that poles are not necessary where you live. Snowblower is a monster... Congratulations 👍💕😎

Proformance will very on how wet the snow is and if you can shoot it with the wind

Its not bad to try out tools under easy conditions to get used to them. The heavy days will come.

We had 10” in the way, 14” off The deck...🧙🏻‍♂️ The Blower - It’s the way to Go!....👍👍 🌬 💨 Videos Gettin Better:..🧐

Yep get that flow control valve for that chute before it tears it up!

glad it works, maybe a sand salt mixture in the bucket ,to add a little ballast to them chained wheels couldnt hurt and you can sand troubled areas, oh yeah bring a shovel

Maybe see if you can move the skids it might help from digging into the ground. I highly recommend setting the bucket and snowblower on pieces of wood so they don't freeze to the ground. At work we have spent half a day thawing our mini excavator on the very cold days in the winter.

i would bet you could hook the snow blower to the front of the tractor .. maybe that would make the job even easier .. good video

It's good to clean out the snow blower after using it every time so it doesn't ice up and freeze which can be a real problem

Viggo seems to take it all in stride... just another thing his humans are doing.

You need a hydraulic lift arm and center link for that tractor. It will make the tilt and pitch adjustment easy. It will help a lot with the box blade also.

Use the bucket to back drag around the steps, then blow the snow away.

I've got a detailed video of me mounting a really good and cheap light bar. And you may laugh, but the best defense of a snowblower with no cab is a full faced snowmobile helmet. Warm and dry.

Pure Liveing for Life mounted some light bar on his tractor some years back. 2 years ago. Teststing pod light bars. Under testing tools. Go check out his video on it.

Great video. Is there a float mode on the 3 point ? The best thing about snow blowers is no giant piles. Thumbs up.

Since it goes in reverse, to void Wry Neck - Torticollis - Stiff Neck, install on the tractor a cheap, big, pair of Side Mirrors with Adjustable Arms. Probably well spent $15-30.

Now that's a Snow Blower You can maybe do the entire state of Colorado with it 😱

Hey we got snow this morning woke up cold trying get warm

Leave tractor seat tilted forward to avoid a wet or snowy seat.

that was awesome...how long is your drive way???

Can you put a reducing valve on the rotation part of the deflector shoot? What about tabs/bolts to restrict travel?

Did we ever find Viggo's ball ?lol

it will get better when the frost hardens up the process stone. i have no doubt bryan will get better and better, then he can get amy involved

The blower puts on quite the show. Stay warm. Go inside drink some Hot Cocoa.

GREAT VIEDO! YOU MIGHT CONSIDER PUTTING A BAR ACROSS THE FRONT OF PLOW SO YOU DON'T SCRAP DRIEWAY. PUT BAR UNDER THE PLOW. OR MAYBE WHEELS?

That snow looks like a dry snow. Is that typical for your area, or do you sometimes get the wet, heavy snows?

you have that calf moose right there and it is open rifle right now and calves are fair game, with any moose licese, unlike the adult draw tags needed, and you didnt pop it..

Try piling snow with bucket and then blow pile. Much less neck strain.

Now you're talking. Sure beats scooping it away with the front loader. You'll get the adjustable feet set to where it doesn't pick up much gravel. And good that you have tire chains. Those R-4 tire treads are terrible in snow and ice.

It looks like the top link is not long enough and it's not sitting level on the ground? Maybe just the video angle but I would probably make it at least level if not tipped the other way to dig in a bit.

I ran a rear blower like that once. No thanks. My almost 60yo neck was getting seriously tweaked. A plow is so much better, but you have the room to push it into.

Ski goggles will make it more comfortable when the snow is blowing around.

You need a cab now. They have bolt on heavy nylon ones. 7yrs on my atv with blower. Cab!

Looking for front chains . How do U like yours and what kind are they. Just looking a good pair that don’t cost a whole lot.

Hey Brian, it sure looked like a pain having to have to drive looking over your shoulder, how was it driving that way?
