My gopro isn't working. Captured this on my phone, but I can't do a lot of turns and backing up with my phone in my hand.

Say, I thought you might appreciate that. I canceled all of my psychiatric appointments instead, I watch your videos by the time the video was over I never needed counseling. I feel better and more relaxed. Thank you for saving me money.

Happy New Year Mark. Great video as always. I was wondering what the size of your blower is and what the PTO speed is on your tractor to run the blower. I'm sure it's posted somewhere in another video, but also wondering with the really deep snow do you find you need to over run the blower in order to keep it moving at a reasonable ground speed.

Happy New year to you and yours. Thanks for watching. I run my pto at 400 to 540 depending on the snow. The wetter it is the higher I have to run it. In 8" snow I have to run about .5 to 2 miles per hour. My blower is 6 feet wide.

@@markwholbrook Thankyou for that info. That gives me a solid number to shoot for with this project. We are running at 2200 RPM on the blower engine and using about 85 horsepower. Problem is we are running the blower to fast, and bogging down the engine in 2 feet of snow. We have more speed then torque at this point. So I will be changing out the large sprocket on the main chain drive from a 48 tooth to a 60 tooth to get the blower speed back down to a reasonable 500 to 560 RPM and give me more engine torque for deeper snow. My ground speed is around 3 to 5 miles per hour, and we are not piling snow in front of the blower.

@@VikingShipExplorer I wish I had 85 hp! Good luck getting through 2 feet of snow. I have to about .5 mph and 540 pto speed when I do that.

Your phone takes good videos. We just plowed 11 inches with our bx2680. 😊 Lots of fun in a heated cab.

It this for neighbors or are you clearing snow professionally?

Yes just my neighbors and driving distance with my tractor since I don't have a trailer.

Hi! Mark, have you ever measured how much diesel per hour your L4760 uses on PTO use?
@markwholbrook Жыл бұрын
It uses about 1 gallon an hour from what the dashboard says.

@@markwholbrook That's not bad really, this shows common rail engines are quite a bit more fuel efficient that mechanical injection, which is what mine is (48.3Hp). I use somewhere between 1.25-1.3 gallons/hr on PTO.

@@tractortyme OK. Diesel is expensive so I'm happy I use only about 1 gallon an hour.

What is the grade on that driveway you’re going up?
@markwholbrook Жыл бұрын
It is about 10% grade. That's why I need chains on all 4 tires.
