Hi Gord, I feel your pain. We had a similar winter storm last year in Manitoba for the first real snow of the season. It was wet and heavy going to get it cleaned up, but you had to deal with way more. Seeing you try to run without chains made me realize just how important they are for you. I am really enjoying the videos and really grateful that you took the time to capture the video. I’m sure taking time to setup those shots cost you some meaningful daylight. Can’t wait for part 3!

When the snow builds up like that, and you have a smaller size tractor, you can't beat a front snowblower (and I'm pro-rear lol). To get the chains on, lie them out flat and straight, back onto them enough that you can tie them onto the wheel with rope (thread through the wheel), then slowly keep backing up until you get them all the way around about 1/3rd the way up for easy access to simply add the shackles = Good to go. There's probably videos on it, a few minutes of research and you'll save yourself a lot of heartache! Good thinking bringing the chainsaw right off the bat! As for the hard packed layer, a few more years and you'll get it down to where you'll almost never snap a shear bolt. As you've picked up on it saves you unnecessary expenses. You're aware of it and that's more than I can say for others that just scrape right down to the boulders and gravel. I know some contractors who've had the same snowblower for almost 20 years and never did anything but pure maintenance, never touched it up with paint, looks almost fresh inside the chutes = They know what they're doing. Some guys never want to learn, and switch out every 5 years.

I had a similar experience last week (Northern NY). I hadn't been up in two weeks. Towards the bottom of the snow, it was packed and nearly ice (presumably from the ground heat). I hit some large rocks from my driveway, too. Took me 4 hours total to get the place opened up satisfactorily. The end of the driveway had a nice 2.5-3 foot pile of snow from the plow. Just used the bucket to move that stuff. Had a tree down across the driveway that needed to be removed. Lots of work. I have a rear-mounted blower on my B2601. Cheers to 2023. Looking forward to seeing more of your content!

While recognizing how troublesome it can be to clear the long driveway, it sure is beautiful up there. We had similar conditions at our northern property but I haven’t tried to clear it yet. It has melted down significantly with this extended (and record-breaking) warmup, but according to my cell cams, there’s still a good chunk of snow up there. Sadly, it’s totally melted down here at home. Looking forward to Part 3! Happy New Year!

Great job GP! We are south of the border in Washington and have had the heavy snow, warmups then freezes and more snow. I have been pushing heavy deep snow, wet slushy snow and ice dams across the end of the driveway left by county road plows (graders) with my Lx2610. It is a lot of work but this tractor with cab makes it much easier and enjoyable than our old open cab L2801. I look forward to Part 3. Keep plowing and blowing!

Thanks for the tips. I use my cross country skis to ski into my property then I fire up the Kabota tractor with the snowblower and go. I have a hill but it’s not as steep as yours and So far I haven’t needed chains. We had 20 inches of Cold snow and the Kabota worked beautifully and luckily no downed trees in my half mile driveway. Beautiful skiing for a few days then a warm up came and melted all the snow in northern Michigan. I was lucky to find my property and I’m a tree farmer on 50 acres. I did not know what I was getting into with the half mile driveway but it’s certainly worth it because it’s very remote quiet and private. After a Ski in I get the Kabota tractor out to do my driveway and drive in. It’s an adventure in winter and quiet in the other seasons. Hope I stay young

I hope all is well and you got it done today. Years ago back in Nebraska we had an uncharacteristically large storm system roll though our area. The plows had a hard time getting through the 6-10 foot drifts caused by downed trees. They ended up dragging the trees out to a staging area to be dealt with later. As I watched today it seemed like it would have been nice to have an area like one of your pull offs to drags trees to so it didn't take as long cutting up trees along the way. I would also be the guy that would rent a small dozer and clear the tree line back 5-7 meters back on each side.

I enjoyed this video! We have 40 acres in Northern Idaho. My snowblower is on the 3 point hitch so I'm backing to blow snow. And, my chute is all manual so it's climb off and adjust every time I need to blow snow in another direction. Having hydraulics on the chute would be marvelous! I do have the hard cab and heat in the cab. We have had 2 and a half feet of snow so far this winter. That keeps me busy keeping the long driveway to the county road open.

That heavy wet snow.... Slow and steady wins I guess. I think I heard Tim Allen's "Tim the Toolman Taylor" grunts when you hooked up to that tree and yanked it down the trail a ways. Looks like your Kubota is more than up for the task, just needs those chains for a little more traction. Looking forward to part 3. I see what you meant from your fist video, though - getting back into your cabin and getting the driveway cleared for access is not for the faint of heart.

Greetings fellow deep snow sufferer. As a mountain dweller here in the Rockies of Montana I have learned a couple of things regarding clearing my mile long driveway which drops 1000 feet or climbs continuously when going the other way, which I'll pass along to you. 1. Put chains on the tractor early in the season and leave them on, when snow surprises come you're prepared. 2.Put good spiked chains on ALL FOUR TIRES, front tires without gripping chains are almost useless and the front chains do help with steering especially in 4 wheel drive. Since you and I have the same rear tire chains, I'm interested to see if you experience the same snow packing around the chains/tires that I do when you are working the type of snow you're in at this time. Snow packs on my chains and I find myself trying to drive with snow slicks, (doesn't work worth a darn). Like you in this series I've had to hump up my mile long road in the past in deep snow, (why was it always uphill), but at 80 years old its no longer fun...it's still possible for me but its accompanied with a lot of growling and swearing. I wish you well Gord, you've got guts!!! So far I've seen no evidence of mountain lions, wolves or bears in your videos, come on down and I'll share mine with you. Makes walking the road so much more interesting...

I have a couple of neighbors that I wouldn't even attempt their driveway until I used the R14's and they worked without a slip.

At the 10:30 mark you were using your rear blade, angling it, to pull the snow off of the road. What I suggest is that you can ALSO PUSH THE SNOW off of your drive by keeping the same angle of the blade and driving in REVERSE to PUSH the snow to your left. So you will be PULLING the snow off to your right, and PUSHING the snow off to the left. This way you are not "dead heading" and making wasted trips to. A lot more efficient and no wasted time. Just a suggestion, as this is what I do and it works well for me.

We had the same storm in Vermont and got 20+ inches. No fun. 2. I never assume that the ground is frozen until mid February. 3. Chains go on the first week in November regardless. Do you like the electric chainsaw. Looking at the 60V Dewalt. Good luck on the rest of this adventure Mister. Get a few Molson Red Labels and sit next to the stove. Best

ALWAYS enjoy your videos Gord ! re: Angling the snowblower up when blowing (so as not to touch the loose, not-yet-frozen base gravel) There's lots of recent talk of this over on the OTT forums about premature wear on the coupler. (not sure of the exact term for this coupler)Kinda looks like 2 big fat "plus signs" that mate together with a spring-loaded handle when first installed for the season. "Some" folks are saying there is a SLIGHT movement when angling (raising) your blower. One fella wore his out in 20hrs (I guess). On my BX, I have the smaller version of the (I think) same/similar K-connect system you have on your LX. Not sure of all the facts(are these even facts?), but one forum member apparently has done some measurements. Anyway, you may want to do some research-- I have no working knowledge that this is the truth or why a few people are seemingly wearing out these couplings. I have lots of snowblowing on mine and they seem fine. Good luck Gord ! Cheers from NB - Mike

Mother Nature gave you some snow to play with. We got rain and lost all our snow. 50's this week too. Crazy Happy New Year 🥳⛄
