I lived in heavy snow country for a number of years (8+ ft. of snow in an average winter). I used a heavy duty 3-stage self-propelled walk-behind snow blower because my driveway was not long and there were places on my property to plow where a tractor-mounted snowblower would not fit. A couple of tips, no matter what size of snowblower one uses: 1. Keep an ample supply of shear pins on hand and know how to replace them. Particularly on graveled drives, etc., you will inevitably break shear pins sooner or later. I generally would go through a dozen to two dozen every winter. 2. To help prevent the chute from plugging with wet snow, regularly spraying the inside of the entire chute with WD-40 or even cooking spray can make snow less likely to stick in the chute. In semi-rural or rural snow country, I'm a big advocate of having a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. We had a 9K watt unit because we had frequent power outages, some lasting 12-24 hrs. or more. Between that and a good wood stove, we were always safe and comfy during power outages, and we didn't have to worry about refrigerators, freezers, etc. not operating.

Super SnowFall!👌

Nice video snow removal i love it dont know why

Très belle quantité de neige comme nous ici on ces amuser beaucoup à gratter

I am really impressed by how much snow you got, that is about ten years snow fall for us all at once. That looked like a really fun job to clear the snow and the snow blower worked great, much less fun not having any power.

There's something very ASMR about watching snow blowing. If only we could have Bob Ross Snow-blowing with a purring kitten. Instant Nap time! 😴🛌

Your property looks really nice covered in snow, great job with the Kubota!

Spotted your snow bunny helping out in the background. nice job to you both.dont miss the Lake Placid World University Games coming Jan. 12 to 22. support winter sports. thanks Luc

Loving Family nice toy i hope can explain your toy setup Model and tool need to make same like you.2024 blessings

Hi Luc Was waiting for a video and WOW😮! That snow storm was unbelievable😅! The Kubota BX took care of it super well! Even the trail, can’t beat that! 🎉 Look forward to all your videos and the upcoming variety of content you have in mind. They are very entertaining and informative. Cool that your wife helps out with the videos too - you are a fun couple!

Wowzers! What a huge snow. Must be fun ; )

I have this fantastic little tractor myself, but with the front loader and backhoe attached. We get snow here in the Puget Sound region,, but not often enough or in large enough amounts (usually less than a foot) to justify the expense of the snowblower attachments...yet. It does suck to move snow with the front loader, but in small amounts it can be done. Still want the snowblower, though, and enjoy watching it in action!

Boy you got nailed with the snow then the power outage. I’ll bet you’re glad you got that blower, good job Luc. Stay warm and I hope you’re power came on quickly.

Wow! That was a big dump Luc! Always so satisfying clearing big snow. Cheers!

Great video ! no stupid music just the roar of the equipment . Thats a real nice set up u have there sir stay warm !

No power? No problem! Luc is ready to work and provide awesome content! Very cool video, Sir!

Kubota sure makes nice snowblowers! The streams are always uniform and travel far, very impressive

Hey Luc! You sure got a lot of snow! The BX did some great work! Stay warm up there!

Great machine, great video. The laughter of the wife, when you slipped in the forest 😂

2:56 - Looks like a solid machine spitting the snow backwards :)

That was a lot of snow, Luc. I think you got us by about 8 inches on average. That bx blower seems to rotate those augers much faster than my b series. I'm sure it's how it's meant to be with what they can dispurse for the sizes, but that is one great snow displacement machine. Loved how you still make your wife laugh running around out there like a kid. The grandkids are going to have a blast. 👍🏻

great video and machine - thanks

Luc, Great video. I have a BX 2380 with a BX 2816 blower which works great except heavy snow likes to clog it. I am just south of Ottawa and also use Levac and power outages are why I love my Generac standby generator! PS I also like my heated cab.

Going back and watching some of your old video's. One suggestion if i might, buy a longer ruler.

That is a big snow. Here in northeast Georgia that would close us down .we don't get much snow. If we do it mostly ice. It was 27 this morning .enjoyed watching Have a blessed week and a merry Christmas

cool machine!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen that much snow in a single snowfall, good to know the BX can handle it! Great video, take care.

Don’t mind the snow when you’ve got the right equipment

You are dedicated to get some great video Luc 🤣 Well done 👍🏻

Man that was a big snow! The BX had a good workout on this one!

Luc, I'm happy for you! Happy for you to keep it all up there! Lol Glad you enjoy it and hope this winter brings you lots of snow with no more power outages!

we lost power about the same time as you, being heat pump run it was brutal, after dusting of the panels we only got 1kwh due to it still in the air, so thank god I kept the old log fireplace or we would have been in serious trouble, it took 36 hours before the utility could get to us to reconnect due to the roads, after the first night all the neighbours got together and discussed what to do as we were cut off and with drift mounds 6ft plus it was a daunting to say the least, in the end 50 of us got together with our tools and cleared a single lane in the road, the issue was we just couldn't put it anywhere there was just so much of it. After 7 hours we all needed a break. but at least the private contractors could then get to us to finnish rest of the drives, I would have loved to have had those attachments over my dual stage honda hand plow, its good but not for those conditions

Nice Job

César 🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️🌬️

Whoa baby! That was a good storm. Looks like the Kubota did a fantastic job. The little Toro put up a valiant effort, but alas...the little guy wasn't quite up to the task!

Love the channel name! That's awesome!!!!

This is when you need a wood burning stove my friend. Can’t believe you don’t have one.

I bought a Generac Guardian 14kW generator with the automatic transfer switch about 7 years ago and I couldn't be happier. My Ariens Deluxe 28 snowblower removes excess snow to the left side of the bucket so I never take a full bite and leave some extra room on the left side of the bucket.

Reminds me of Jaws: "We're going to need a bigger boat."

That is a LOT of snow, Luc!! I would like to play in with that snow blower for about an hour, then it would be time to come back to Florida!! 🥶🥶🥶☃

My 40 years of plowing snow thinks that using your back blade is much more work than just straight on blowing the snow into the woods. Maybe your just having some fun, but either way your Kubota setup is really quite efficient. Enjoy and Happy New Year

Looking good! Throw a set of chains on your rear wheels and you'll be shocked how much better traction you get.

Hi Luc Wow that is a lot of snow . All we got in Ontario was rain. The tractor did very well. Cheers

Lol look like he having fun snow blowing

Hi Luc and thanks for sharing! Wow I cant believe how much more snow you received than us just an hour south. Heavy wet snow but the Kubota came through again! That would have taken a while with the power shovel lol. Take care, look forward to the next one.

Nice job Luc. I’m near Buffalo and it does get very interesting when you get 3-6ft of heavy compacted snow in one storm. Doesn’t happen often but makes a guy happy to have quality equipment!

Awesome, Luc!

Crazy snow! Love the blower! You can keep the power shovel though! 😂

Great job, Luc! That was way more snow than I hope I’ll ever see! Yeah, that little electric snow blower wasn’t cut out for 20” of wet snow. But your Kubota and snow blower got it done! I have five words for you. The first two are “backup generator”. The last three are “move farther south”! Happy New Year!

Wow! That is allot of snow. I am impressed at how well the BX with the snowblower powers right through that. I hope your power comes back on soon. Stay warm if you can! Merry Christmas and have a happy new year!

Good Job Grampa, Grand Pere, Papa. The BX earned its keep again! Merry Christmas Lucy and family.🌲🎄🍷

You have a million dollar home ,a great little tractor and no generator worth between three and four thousand bucks installed ,

Was gunna say 20”. Looks like your going to have a white Xmas. Hehe. No snow here. Great to see a video Luc.

Front mounted blower is the way to go!

No fair you got snow. We didt get deep snow we got 4 inches of snow. Really. I have a cub cadet 2x snow blower ready for snow. Michigan hasn't gone snow in years.

The Orange works really well for smaller areas, but larger fields need large Green!

💥 You definitely have the right tool for the job. The snowblower you have just eats that snow right up. Could you imagine if you only had a plow. *Keep on tractoring!* Merry Christmas 🎄

looks like a pretty good. dump of snow

Хороший агрегат. Стоит наверное как ларгус.

That was a lot of snow Luc, I got home just in time for it. It was the biggest test for the snowblower and it did well… Have a great holiday 🎉

I would love a good storm like that, would be nice to get a day off work lol 😂 good job

G'day Luc: we had a lot of snow over in Petawawa also. I have a motor on my chute. It moves the chute up and down. Helps when the wind is blowing, to keep the snow out of your face. Also have a generac generator, which makes life better when the power goes out. That happens a lot here. You have the propane tanks so it would be easy for the hook-up. The generator does my whole house and workshop. Take care and stay safe.

I live at 6k feet here in CO and strangely we don't get much snow here anymore. Global warming or shift in the weather, I just get 1 or 2 snowstorms a year when I need my snowblower...

What’s that white stuff? Haha. I haven’t seen that much snow cumulative in my life. Snow blower did a great job. Happy New Year.

Good morning Luc. Looks like you guys up north got hammered. Paul Pelosi would be jealous 🤣🤣🤣 Looks like we are in for it here over the weekend. Our Merry Christmas could turn into a “buried Christmas “.

Just use your shop vac, it should do the trick.

Fantasikco show Good work Best friend thans the video 🚜🧹👍✅☕❄🔥🎆💯🎈

I guess you could say old man winter is here. We received about 12 inches or so. I was hoping you would do your whole driveway with your new tool. LOL. Your tractor and blower sure got a workout. THAT'S A LOT OF SNOW! More on the way I guess. Our snow was very wet and heavy, unfortunately. Take care

Well I don’t have to worry about the white fluffy stuff but we’re supposed to drop to 10F on Friday. Last time we got this low was Feb 2021 Big TX Freeze. We had 2 pipes burst and flood the house then. We spent the weekend getting ready but not much we can do about pipes in the walls. I second the recommendation of putting a generator to work if you lose power to the house.

Wow!

🇳🇴👍👍

Great vid! I only got 4 inches out of that storm but you guys around that side of the lake got hammered pretty good. Instead of using my BX I used my Case D45 with 6ft blower because it was -11 and I wanted to get it over with. So my upload vid was fairly short. Keep those vids coming---there is something therapeutic about watching snow being relocated through the air from one place to another! 👌👍

A big tractor might not fit where you made that little trail for the grand kids that was impressive !

Wow that’s a lot of Snow ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years 🎉!

“I’ve got a fire going huhuhuhu …” You kill me buddy hahahaha I would love a snowfall like that … once. I’ve got a 120vac power shovel and it’s amazing!! I have no idea why it hasn’t broken yet because I beat the hell out of it! If we’re patient operators - a BX is a very capable machine. That’s one hell of a lot of snow! Great job!

How's she goin'? Wow Luc, you got a LOT of snow. What a way to start the plowing season eh. We had some flurries last night, maybe an inch or 2. They are speaking of snow this week so I may be out plowing soon too!! Merry Christmas to all you good folks and we'll talk to yas ...

The power shovel is a toy for kids. Now the Kabota is a snow blower, great.

We ended up getting 20" here in NH on that last one on Friday. Really heavy snow though and there's lots in town still without power.

Hey Luc looks like you got snow from the same storm we got. Pretty wet and heavy. One day when I grow up I will get a snow blower like you😂Thanks for the video Happy Holidays!!!😁👍🚜💨🎄🙋🏻‍♂

hey brother. Glad to see you back with another vid. Boy that was a humdinger amount of snow. The Bota BEAST lol handled it well. Always look forward to your vids man. I pray you and your bride are well and blessed. Heres wishing you a very merry christmas. God Bless. PS: Looking forward to your content.

I think towards the end you were just having fun! Or maybe just making B roll lol

My friend, I’d say you need a little bit bigger of a tractor. I know I would if, if I owned that property. I would want to get out there and get it done as soon as possible and not BOG the equipment down. It’s just a little bit under powered. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years working in the logging industry, growing up in a logging family here in NW Montana, 5 miles from the Canadian border. Up off of what is called, THE YAAK RIVER ROAD. And if you have Google Earth, you can easily find it the last 4 miles is not paved all the way to the border. Our private road / private drive, is just under a mile. Our county takes care of the pave road on a regular basis, but not the un-paved. So, just by this information alone tells you that we’ve got quite a bit to plow. If there is one thing I’ve learned about equipment it’s better to have something that will take more than you will ever put on it. And then still, don’t come close to putting too much, and it will last you a lifetime. I was just looking at the Kubota Tractors, And the one that you bought I looked at on their website. Snow is always heavier to mess with, than yard clippings / yard waste. If I was going to buy a Kubota, here’s the one I would get for living there. I would buy this one because you could easily make more than enough money off of it, by charging folks to do there driveways. It would pay for its-self. “4WD HST TRACTOR W/CAB LIMITED TRACTOR”. apps.kubotausa.com/configurator/BuildMyKubota.aspx?pgId=1&bmId=1234&sId=125 Like I said previously, I’ve spent my entire life around equipment, so I would think I know one thing or 2 about it. If we was brothers, this is the one that I would buy for your birthday lol 😆 also, many times you will get better deals rigging one out the way that you want from dealers that deal in snowblowers for tractors then the manufacturer will. Kubota is HIGH ON BLOWERS AND HIGH ON ALL, ALL ATTACHMENTS!!!!

Wow you got just a little bit of snow there. Lol. That BX handled it like it was nothing. We are supposed to get hit with a hard storm tomorrow into Friday. We will see what happens! Nice job and merry Christmas!

Here in the UK the media went crazy with a level 3 weather warning with just one inch of snow. 😂

20 1/2 inches of snow!!! Man, that snowblower paid for itself in one outing!!! I did feel bad for that little Toro. Also, I laughed around the 20:25 mark...I though your hearing protection was prosthetic elf ears! (You can see where my head is at right now! 😂🤣⛄🎅🎄 Merry Christmas Luc.

You hit the jackpot! Send the snow to Southern Maine. That BX machine moves a lot of snow. Thank you for sharing! Are you forecasted to receive more snow?

The MIGHTY BX2380 does a great job in heavy snow, that snow was as tall as the intake of the blower.

I thought you were English speaking, because you don't seem to have any French accent. When I heard your spouse say (Oh mon Dieu - Oh mon Dieu), I understood that you were a French-speaking couple. So I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season. - Alors je vous souhaite de très joyeuses fêtes à vous et votre famille. *** By the way, you should equip yourself with a self-starting Générac propane generator. This is very practical in wooded areas, where power outages are more frequent due to branches falling on the wires.

It’s a bit odd that you guys have gotten so much snow there and Dave@RCAFpolarexpress really hasn’t gotten much yet. Did you see where he came close to running over one his dogs? That would have devastated him for sure. We had such a mild fall and then suddenly, things drastically changed. We started getting freezing fog that coated all the trees. Our power lines were weighed down with ice but fortunately thawed off before power went out. I take it that you have gotten a generator by now.

Nice video! Lots of snow! And the BX was a champ. I'm going to do my trails this week. Merry Christmas and will watch whatever you post :) great filming by your wife :) she should do more commentary :)

have l6060 kubota with front blower..put chains on front tires..world of difference..now i can steer

20 inches of wet snow... is sure tough on machinery. I am pretty sure your electric shovel will perform better in a "normal" snowfall! Thanks!

Your wife is in the house laughing at you. Oh, so am I.

Be careful of the shaft on that front mount blower. They can grenade easy if you happen to hit something hard. I switched to a inverted blower for that reason because I had trouble with two of them.

Merry Christmas Luc

You now need a PTO powered generator and you're all set, get done with the snow blower and hookup the generator for emergency power and let the tractor power the house. Been tossing that idea around VS a standby generator...I think its about the came cost either way, but I'd have to run a standby generator on my propane tank that supplies the house furnace so I'd need a much larger propane tank if we had a long power outage, VS the easier diesel fuel for the tractor method LOL. I have a snow blower for my lawn tractor. Got the lawn tractor and snow blower long before I got my Kubota, otherwise I would have got the same blower you have. The lawn tractor/snow blower works great, but the snow blower is a pain to install and remove and for no more snow than we typically get here in southwestern Idaho I didn't even bother installing it this year, figured if it gets bad enough I'll install it, or I'll just put the rear blade on the Kubota and use the tractor. With my snow blower on my lawn tractor I install tire chains, and 4 of the 42lb suitcase weights and it does quite well since its not pushing the snow itself, its just sucking it up and blowing it out of the way there isn't much of a load on the tractor. Most snow we've had since I got the snow blower was 9-10 inches last season, just enough to give the blower a try, it does great, but unless you have more than about 6 inches of snow the blower don't do quite as well as you can't go fast enough to feed the snow through the blower quick enough for it to really work like its supposed to, its a 3 stage snow blower so its great for deep snow, but not so much for the little bit of snow we typically get which is usually an inch or less at a time, and in a day or so its all melted anyways LOL.
