Hey good evening ODD. Yes, sure makes work seem more like play when you get to hang out with buddies to get the job done. That neighbour's driveway is as long as mine and kind of crosses two roads. Weird setup but sure makes quick work of it when there are two of us. Plus Guy's wife always makes us coffee when we get back ( with a little bit of a kick in it. LOL). Cheers and have a great weekend!

Thanks Chuck! You too!

Cheers Tom! Thanks :)

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Sean. Hope you are doing great and keeping warm too. We'll see how it looks come morning. Cheers!

You bet B! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Gary!

Was a good day Jack. So long as you are dressed for the weather, it's all good being out in this cold. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!

Thanks Both! Cheers!

:))

Thanks Danny. Always enjoy heading out with Guy! Always makes work a lot easier. Cheers!

Hey Al. Looks like everyone is getting it but us. Getting kind of sleet here on and off. Not really snow but more like ice. We'll see how it looks in the morning. Stay warm and be safe out there tomorrow!

Hey we're Canadian! LOL. And cheap. :)) You too Dave. Thanks so much for watching and for saying hi! Cheers!

Cheers Greg!

Yes indeed Chief! Pretty lucky for sure. Have fun out there and keep warm!

Good evening Eric. Thanks! Always enjoy working with Guy. He has a pretty hilarious sense of humour too so always leave laughing. Cheers and thanks again!

Hey good evening Henry. Good call. I am doing the same. We aren't getting a lot but the snow coming down is like ice and the winds have picked up quite a bit as well as the drop in temp. So doing the same as you. Going to wait till tomorrow. Stay warm and have a good evening!

You too Don! Thanks as always good sir!

Thanks Chris! Cheers and all the best!

Hey good morning Jackson. Yup, love catching them here and there. Not so much the wolves though. Got back to the cabin last night and about 5 minutes later had a couple of wolves out front tracking something. Very seldom see them this close to the cabin - usually more coyotes. Little worried about that. Harsh cold and I am sure they must be getting hungry to come this close. I'll be keeping my hatchet close while out for the next while. Cheers!

Hey thanks William. I'm pretty fortunate for sure. Hey congrats on the plow. Should make life a lot easier when the snow flies! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hey good evening Chris. I hear you will getting hit pretty hard there. Good call on the blower as sometimes I wish I could have as well, so I could keep the FEL on. But yes, the old back would not take being twisted for almost a mile. Have fun and be safe tomorrow. Cheers and thanks for watching!

And a good morning to you Houndsman! Yes, that blade is really good when we get crusty snow. It cuts it back out down to the base again. I will tell him. Have a good weekend!

Thanks so much Roy! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey thanks so much Curt. Hope everyone there is doing ok. Cheers!

Hey good stuff Peter. You got a chance to get out to play. Hey do you build and run model trains?

@@GPOutdoors I have large layout and run my toy trains mostly at club funchions like work on layout best PaK

Hey good day Roger. Yes, it is 14 years old and still throws it far and heavy. Good piece of equipment for sure. Cheers my friend!

LOL. Thanks Dave. Glad you enjoyed it! I think the weather folks tend to miss it often. :)) But great that you get some tractor time in tonight. Be safe and have fun!

Good morning and thanks Albert. I am going to try that new method today, and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good morning T44! LOL! I should try that move on my wife and see what happens. :)) Guy's got a great sense of humour so always makes work a little more enjoyable. Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week T!

Thank you sir, you do the same and have a wonderful week also and btw.... the above was a 100% true story !! LOL

Hey David. That's some good advice. I noticed a few times recently that it sometimes catches something and pulls me a little sideways. Thanks! Have a great week and keep warm with these severe temps coming!

Hey good stuff TPG. I'll look for it later. Be safe and keep warm!

Indeed Joe! Have not seen the snow fleet in action but will look it up tomorrow. Yes, the bigger L moves swiftly. Stay warm and good luck with the weather this weekend! Cheers my friend!

Wow! teddy. Good thing you got that cab heater finished. Just in time. Keep warm and enjoy some fun outside! Cheers!

Good thing I have some heat temperature suppose to be in -15°C LOL. This morning was -34°C was cold for a few days now uploading a video right now of what happen to you diesel when it get cold.

You need allot of coffee LOL

I'll check it out. Thanks Teddy! Good luck!

Hey good evening Mech. Shovel should do it I hope. The snow is falling now but kind of like freezing rain. Will see how it turns out tomorrow. We are not supposed to get much at the tail of the storm but we'll see come morning. Stay inside and warm my friend!

Good day TMD. I like it a lot actually. At first, I wasn't sure if I did but as I have started to learn how to use it, I am glad I got it now. Good for snow and for grading as well as shaping the ditches along the driveway etc. Still have a lot to learn with it but getting better each time. Cheers and have a good weekend!

Good stuff John! I kind of miss splitting wood. Maybe when I t warms up a bit we'll go back there and dig up a little forest work. Cheers and be safe!

Hey thanks Mark. I know it sounds nuts but man, I would love to get a couple of feet of snow. This winter up here has been almost bizarre. Good thing you have the cab though and a good machine to help get through it. Love your tractor and setup. Good luck tomorrow! Keep them coming!

@@GPOutdoors Thank you. I love my tractor too. You have good friends and they are invaluable. Worth more than a tractor!

@@GPOutdoors Starting to snow right now, but it looks like not enough to blow but you never know. I hope you get more if you want it. By the end of winter here I'm ready for it to melt. The cab is wonderful as I blew snow for 26 years on a open station, rear blower Alice Chalmers D14 from 1958. Once I started picking up customers I knew I needed a better tractor. Good thing the wife agreed!

LOL. So true. The captain has to agree for sure. Happy she did Mark. Cheers!

Good morning James! Thanks - it worked really well and quick running both tractors. The deer shot at the beginning was in front of Guy's place. They get them several times a day as his wife has a feeder there. I see them regularly at my cabin but not as often as they do. But every day you can see the tracks along the drive. Have a good week James!

Hey good morning Grampie. Yes, was a beautiful sunny and cold day but always great to be out. Yes, I finally, after months of researching reviews etc, decided to try out this Saramonic. Jury's still out until I use it a few more times in the wind to see if it successfully blocks out the wind etc. Cheers and stay warm Grampie!

Thanks for the info Gord!!!

Hey Eric. Normally it wold be 85% blower but this winter has been very odd. So I have now used the blade as much as the blower. We just have not been getting the normal snowfalls we should be getting. I am glad I got the blade as I barely used it last year and was thinking perhaps I should not have got it. Cheers!

Hey Tom. Funny you should mention. My back up generator wouldn't kick over. but finally got it going about 20 minutes ago. No generator , no power for me so glad I finally got it to kick. Hard for the propane to ignite in these temps. - 30 C tonight so I would be pretty chilly without it. Hope the power stays on for you. Cheers!

Good evening John. Good question. It's 14 years old so perhaps could use a little love. I'll catch up with him this week and see if he wants to plug the hole. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. Cheers and all the best!

God morning MNP! It sure makes the job a lot easier. Cheers!

Hey good evening Palmer. I know it's tough to decide, especially if you don't have previous experience like myself. I am no expert for sure but I actually planned on buying an L series. After spending time with each dealer and explaining the size of property, the terrain and type of property, the things I expected to be doing with the tractor etc, the dealer recommended I go smaller. I would say if you are not sure, then go bigger. Remember, you will have the tractor for 15-20 years or more. But ask each of the dealers for their opinions and go with their recommendations. I looked at Massey, Kubota and Deere. And I went with the best dealer experience. Second generation tractor dealer and knew his stuff really well. I wish I could help more but hopefully that helps a bit. Good luck and my only advice is if you are not sure, go wth whichever dealer you trust the most and their recommendation for your needs. Generally, they all agreed that if you have more than 8-10 acres, then you need an L series at least. I have a very small property here. Let me know how it turns out! And good luck!

@@GPOutdoors It looks like regardless of what size I should get it with the 3rd function and a grapple! I agree with getting a larger one now that you mention it. A big part of the tractors use will be pushing back snowplow banks and I think it will be good to have size and weight on my side for that task! Thanks GP!

B2601 or L2501. 2501 is very nice for the money! both don't have dpf or def fluid. the L2501 is a very nice nitch! can accomplish so much work. lsrger frame lots of torque. the B2601 is smaller than the L2501.

LOL Andrew! Not at all. You'll be warm and comfortable. Good call on getting out before the rain comes. I'll see how it looks here come morning to figure out how to tackle it. Safe tractoring!

GP Outdoors, well, I was only warm for about 15 minutes! Then the PTO Shaft blew apart!!! Well, it broke off and flew into the snow!! Thankfully didn’t hit anyone or anything. So much for my first ever Kubota!! Completely assembled at the dealer and has 12 hours of use! I don’t think I can ever trust their tractors again. Interesting to see what goes on tomorrow when I go see them. Right now I’m exhausted and soaked from shovelling 15 cm of heavy snow in the now pouring down rain! I am fit to be tied. That thing cost me $23,000 and I bought it because my Sears lawn tractor wasn’t reliable enough. Ha.

Wow Andrew. That is a tough one. Glad no one was hurt but man I certainly hope they come get it and fix it properly without issue. Be interested to see why the shaft came apart. You must have had a long tough day for sure. I'd be fit to be tied if it happened to me. Hang in there. Geez that is terrible. I'm 15 months in now and not a single issue with anything. Let me know how it turns out Andrew.

Good to hear that this isn’t a common issue. I’ll let you know what I find out.

You bet. Good luck Andrew.

Morning Fit. No, just a rear PTO. Cheers!

LOL ! It is long alright. I use float at this. time of the year. Very seldom have to take it out of float now that we have good hard ground. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Oh these people live out in the boonies, for sure. Looks like they have huge acreage, they're living that dream.

Hey 10essee! Long time. Hope you are doing great. Not as much as a normal winter for some reason this year but we'll see how it looks in the morning. Be well and all the best to you! Thanks for checking in!

Good morning and welcome D2! I appreciate the support. Yup. That's pretty much it. LOL. Have a great weekend and thanks for subbing!

Men and boys and their toys.

Hey DIY. - 25C or so through last night and - 27 today plus the windchill. It's cold!

Yikes, GP! No thank you! My 20 F suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. Stay warm and safe, GP!

LOL Michael. Good point. I have been sliding a little. I'll get it in on the next ones. Thanks for watching and for saying hi! Cheers!

Hey good day Jokumuu! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Finland! That's great. The tractor works great for me - I only have a small property so do not need a bigger tractor. Keeping warm is easy. I wear good thermal clothing and a snowmobile suit ( it is rated for - 40C) so it keeps me very warm in the cold. Of course it would be better to have a heated cab. :)) Thanks again and all the best to you!

Hi thats awesome. Cool tractors still,snow is nice to have sometinmes when have good warm clothes and macines for that. Keeep up good work :)

You bet. Thanks Michael and thanks for participating. You did great. Be well and all the best!

Hey Michael. We have a lot of deer in the area among other animals. But they come every day at Guy's feeder. Have a great weekend and thanks!

Wow. 3 ? 3 tractors too? LOL. Thanks!

@@GPOutdoors yeah I got 3 tractor, but really only use 2 of them. 2003 Cub cadet 7305 1998 Kubota B2150 and a 1957 Massey Ferguson F40. Only time the Massy plays is in snow since it can push what ever with tire chains and duel wheel weights. I got doubles of a few implements too..lol

Good morning Dale. Many subscribers have said the same thing. I just don't get it though. Where does the snow go when you are pulling it along behind me? With the blade, the snow gets channeled off to the side but with a box blade, when I pull it, doesn't the snow just pile up in it? If you have time, maybe you can describe kind of what happens. I am happy to try it but perhaps if you can tell me how to set it up or use it, then when I try it, I will have an idea of what to do or what to expect. Thanks very much!

LOL WC!! I'd take those odds any day. Cheers!
