A lot of snow to move with 1 dump trailer. I like the get it done mentality. No excuse and work with what you have in the moment to accomplish the task needed for the customer! Merry christmas
Hey, Stan! Thanks for all the great videos and shorts this year. I always pick up useful hints. I hope you, your family, your crew and their families have a Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year! God bless you all. STAY WARM!!
My husband comes home from work and I am watching your videos. He can't believe it. We moved to Northern Vermont in June and our house is a "fixer upper". I have learned about putting in a proper foundation (ours is currently on a basement that is a floating slab!), snow removal, and how to tell when you contractor is not up to the task. I am learning how to ask the right questions. Thank you for all the shared knowledge! Oh...it's 3 degrees here.
Hey Stan, I want to wish you and the Dirtmonkey crew a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for all the awesome content this year, looking forward to what you have in store for '23. You guys be safe and enjoy the holiday!
I also do snow removal with skid steer and dump trailer… first, add some 2x12 sides so you can haul more, Second, when load is stuck, grab a 3-5lb persuader and give a few good taps on the lower/side frame of the box. The high vibrations it creates almost always releases the entire load? I’ve tried other things like Pam, but if you wanna do that, you better buy a few cases as you need to spray almost every load… Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻😁
Awesome 👏 operation there Stanley! Love your way of running your business…wish you only the very best bud! Have a healthy, safe Merry Christmas 🎄and happy New Years to you and your family!
Merry Christmas Stan!! A liner helps those dump trailers a lot for snow removal in the cities here they use them for snow removal in all the parking garages it's all they can fit in there and actually load up to get the snow off the top levels . The other trick is never to push it down with the bucket, for that little extra half bucket you can fit in it isn't worth it getting stuck . For a pike like that ideally we use tri axles with heated bodies semi tractors with dump trailers and a cat 980 loader .
Hey 👋 Stanley, y'all be careful out there in that bone crushing cold 🥶 weather! Be Safe, stay warm. Merry Christmas to you and your family and God Bless you and yours my friend. 🕊🕊🕊 ~Jay~
Wonder if they'll back charge the guys that put it there? Lol... I've used silicone spray on blades, wings & snowblowers, works well, sticks around for a plow, or 2... Merry Christmas! & Thanx !
I used to put some deisel in the dump bed before hauling snow to that it slides out nice and easy. Especially if the loader operator would try to pack it down a bit. Retired now but watching you guys makes me miss operating laoders and dump trucks.
@@Dirtmonkey Sledgehammer underneath works mint, gravel truck I would get out and start slamming the tailgate till the load released. If snow or is sticking in a dump box I would chuck a couple handfuls of road salt in there to keep it clean.
We just hit -48c in Saskatoon SK. I'll be hauling Christmas Day with my trailer. I usually throw either a jug of window fluid, or some diesel in the trailer before I load up. She slides right out every time!
Ey hey stan, hope all is well, it is wicked cold here in NJ, I can’t imagine how cold it is where you are, I’m sure a lot of peoples nose pickers are frozen solid lol. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and Sunday is Christmas, hard to believe it is almost the new year, so much has happened in 2022, and i proud to say the good has outweighed the bad, and the most good was watching yours and Stan’s videos, they are so informative and i enjoy all the hard work you put into them, Christmas sure feels like its getting back to normal, sadly the snow didn’t stick around long, it snowed for a good 2 hours but after that it stopped, i was really hoping for a white Christmas, but hey, there is always next year, anyways stan, god bless and go get em,your pal and friend Alexander costa, and stan, Have a merry and bright Christmas with your family and that goes for everyone else too.
Looks like a nightmare. We are currently fighting 3 inch per hour in upstate NY! Feet of snow moved, no signs of it stopping over next few days. Feel for you man. Can only do what you can do.
Stanley if I win the Mega Millions tonight I'll just buy you a 1 ton dump truck, Merry Christmas brother your snow removal videos are awesome. Your guy did a phenomenal job with that skid steer and the dump trailer too. I could tell it wasn't his first dance.
Stan! I have a couple of tried and true suggestions that I have been taught about snow ejection in dump trailers and buckets... 1. Spray the entire trailer box interior with Pledge furniture polish (I prefer using the lemon stuff- Works Amazing) 2. Coat the box with "Pam" cooking spray- (works well) 3. A coat of WD-40 in the box works well too! All of these I have seen work well in person , and I've used Lemon Pledge myself, with great results. All 3 products are real cheap, and last a long time. GB&GG, Buddy. Stay warm, stay safe!
Great that you all could do this, but I fail to see the emergency here. So this tight, neat pile couldn't wait until reasonable working hours? Hopefully they paid for their emergency situation. One thing I've noticed in these snow videos is the lack of blowers. Those skid steers could be running snow into dump trailer at a rate 5x faster. Or just shoot it over towards the retaining wall and windrow it with the big pushers, then hammer it again with the blowers. They use snowblowers and blades on all airport runways for good reason. It is a super effective way to remove wholesale snow. I know they are expensive units, but necessary in big parking lots that are very similar to a runway. Great videos and lots of hard work.
Hey Stanley, bet about now Sun shine Green grass would look good B careful spray the box, or fight it a all Night that’s funny catch you later Tom, Thompson
Something that I've done in the past that works great is when the bed is clean and cold pick the bed up and give it a light spray of water. Let it freeze and repeat a few time till the bed is a sheet of glair ice. Also don't pack it in, keep it fluffy if you can. Another thing that works but it can rot out the bed fast is give it a couple of coats of liquid calcium chloride.
In a pinch you could have used some plastic sheathing laid in the bottom and attached at the top, I'm sure you have been busy ,we didn't get as much as you here in Clarissa, mn. Hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas
I always loved hauling off snow. We would always put just a little bit of salt down at the bottom of our truck beds. That way the snow wouldn’t really stick.
later in the video where they were ramming the dumped snow it reminded my summer job in a farmers coop loading and bushing up larges amounts of grain with a telehandler it was a blast and also it was so different from what i do now i dont see paved roads from the machines i i run im in logging now and its just so awesome and i love it as long as im working in or around heavy equipment i love it at 19 yuears old ive worked on around 10 different pieces of equipment in last 3years and most in last year in the company i work in now i run anything they need me to and thats any piece they have and im about mastering all of them with time and i love the work i do
We have a light dusting that is whipping around at 40ish mph. The low right now without factoring windchill is -18 f and rising. Wish me luck, LOL! Hope you are staying warm!
Hey Stan I assume you guys know the little tricks of the trade to keep snow from sticking but I will tell you anyway first before you load out the first load in a trailer spread 25lbs or so and that one treatment will be good 5 loads. Used antifreeze workS well to
For efficiency backing at an angle to the pile would make loading a lot faster… and keep the mess closer to the pile… just like loading trucks in a quarry or pit
Stan, have you thought of using those large snow blowers that load into 16 or 18 wheel dump trucks that cities use when clearing major roadways very fast? It would sure beat time loading with the small bucket into your dump trailer. Don`t know cost of those large snow blowers, but they do move a lot of packed snow fast.
All the guys here in NE WA use marine antifreeze in a weed sprayer. Works for the dumptrucks hauling gravel and snow. It's also non toxic so no worries about EPA
spread some salt in your box before loading it with snow the first time and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. no more snow sticking for the rest of the night.. Same for loader buckets.. I worked for a municipality for 40 years in Ontario Canada, never had snow stick issues
You should invest into a snow melter and provide the removal right on site over a sewer drain. Some are the size of semi trailers but can melt loader buckets at a time, they use them in New York and large cities.
We use bagged calcium mixed in water in pump sprayers to haul sand and snow in frigid temps with our 28ft lined aluminum dump trailers - or you can use old used antifreeze in pump sprayers they both work awesome for stuff like this - Rock on 🤙🏻
I’ve used the Pam cooking spray might take a lot to do a dump trailer but maybe you could put like vegetable cooking oil from a deep fryer in a cheap pump sprayer to coat trailers pushers plows and such to prevent sticking then just power wash it out in the spring
In Concord New Hampshire any storm 8"+ the snow on main street was windrowed down the middle then loaded on dump trucks with a snow blower and dumped into the river.
Stanley. Next dump trailer. See if there is a way the box beams along the lower corners of the bed could be connected at the front. With a flex exhaust pipe over the trucks tail pipe to warm the lower sides of the bed to stop it from sticking
Nice video. I would highly suggest wiring up a remote control to your hydraulic pump. Your driver can be driving up the road while lowering the trailer, then close the back doors when back in the parking lot.
Not sure if you have a plastic liner in but that really helps too, i put 3 200lbs vibrator underneath the trailer probably an over kill one in the front, middle, an the back an it will slide out like a dream
I order a rhino plastics for all my snow hauling rigs! It was made for hauling sugar beats! I have lined all my trucks and trailers with it. Haven’t had a problem since
Would love to see a video on what you'd recommend for the average user. I have a 60x40 driveway in ND and while we don't get large amounts of snow often, I get an incredible amount of well packed drifted snow where 6" snow storm will result in 2' in the driveway. I don't have a tracked blower and the ariens 28" is kicking my ass this year.
@@jamesnm21 I would rather not be limited by someone else's availability. When I mention work, it's not that I have to work, it's that it's an excessive amount that I have to do, the snow blower won't go through it at all, like running into a wall. It feels like I'm not fighting the snow, I'm fighting the snowblower. That's why I'm looking for something else.
I always enjoy watching your videos and seeing how productive different equipment can be. Interesting observation, are the snow tracks on the SVL-75 on backwards? Reason I ask is Bobcat's snow tracks are directional, but I'm not sure if all snow tracks are. The Bobcat tracks have an arrow on the inside of the track. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the impact of the snow tracks being on in the correct direction vs. backwards.
Kinda early for this much snow.Maybe a long winter. I know I'm pushing my driveway snow way back!! Don't want to run out of room to put it later this winter. Darn cold ❄ too. If you want to live up here in the north you better be ready for anything!! Thanks 🥶.
Pam comes in gallon cans. To use it in a garden sprayer. Or a 5 gallon can of propane and a weed burner torch. You are likely only going to have to buy the gallon of pam as you should have everything else
You need to add a couple Mexican draglines to your equipment....guys will just love them ....helps remove ztuck material from boxes. Very fuel efficient and you don't need to check the oil or hydraulic fluid.
I've heard liquid calcium in a backpack or 2 gallon sprayer works well but after 3 or 4 loads you need to reapply, a thin coat of diesel works great but most places frown on it, I would try something like canola oil or biodegradable hydraulic oil that is used in heavy equipment near waterways. The key is to have the box clean and dry before you apply it. Or put a dump truck vibrator on the underside to help.
People standing in a pinch point between vehicles always confuses me. I won’t stand in front of or behind a running vehicle. A friend of mine was guiding a car standing behind it. He was pushed through a concrete block wall when the driver accelerated backwards. It was a good thing it was a weak wall.
You guys probably get more snow... here in Rhode Island, landscapers and heavy construction companies do most of the snow removal. (I do snow removal for the non-profit I work for. )our heavy construction companies usually get the large lots because the have the large frt. End loaders and 6 and 10 wheel dump trucks to truck the snow. He'll i don't even use our bobcat t190 with a bucket for snow, just the snow blower
