This is how I ruined my drive shaft on my snow blower. Helping neighbors who neglect their driveways and have to battle the ice build up. $450 repair later. They can hire a plow truck, shovel when it snows or buy their own snow blower and labor.
The snow or ice didn't wreck your snowblower you trying to go too fast did, they are built to take on anything snow or ice winter wise. If you are blowing anything over 8" you should be in first idle up and feather your drive if you are at a bank and your wheels are spinning all you are doing is abusing your machine. I'm surprised the sheer pins didn't let go before the shaft bent.
Nice job. That’s quite a snowblower. And I would think you were worn out after all that. Hard snow. I’ve done that before using the shovel to break up the banks to blow them away. Not easy.
Thank you for your help to your community! If I had a snow blower, had I lived in a land where we have snow (we had but that is nowadays more a rarity sadly because I litteraly LOVE snow, always did, especially when I used to grew up with each year loads of snow) but I for SURE had taken you up on your Challenge #snowblowerchallenge ! But now I get to watch your video's, love it 😊 Keep on doing it, maybe when you start early next year again, more and more people pick it up. Thank you for being you! Keep it coming, as long is possible! 😎👊
Thank you so much! Reading this really just gives me more motivation :) I highly appreciate your comment!! The challenge is a great idea. I will focus on that for next season -> a "youtube snowblower challenge" ;)
you did that just like i would have done it. taking in consideration the wind direction and asking the blower to do its job for what it was purchased for, and caring for the machine at the same time. i would love to have you for a neighbor when my chips were down. nice vid and bless you for being a good human.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Cool to see someone is paying good attention to what's going on in the video! Thanks for your feedback, highly appreciate that! 😊
I actually like to take on a challenge where other's would simply shake their head and walk on 😂 I'm sure some of the other neighbors did so when they saw me working there 😆
Nice job, great intentions! I do the same thing for my neighbors however, I think the good Lord their driveways are not as big as this one! Hopefully other people will get the hint and spread some kindness and love to the rest of those who are deaf and blind
By the time I got to the second video you made, I realized that you were having way too much fun . One driveway would have been neighborly. I hope the neighbors at least paid for the gas that you used. I didn’t recognize the brand name, but it sure looks like a MTD clone with a imported 6-8 hp ohv motor, 24 inches wide. Just enough width to do a good job and not kill the operator moving it around.
Thanks for your comment! You're right I checked and it is a MTD Clone just as you said. Works really well and reliable (hope I didn't give it too much of a hard time there!).
@@chrisworkandmachines Try to keep the whole blower cleaned off when not in use. The sand and salt at the end of the driveway really work on the paint. Make sure you run the carb out of gas in the spring. A dry carb never gets clogged with water and additives from the gas. A little dry gas in the tank helps also.
Нахер таких друзей. Могли бы выйти и помочь лопатой бритве колоть… помочь- это не значит все сделать за кого то. Ну и засыпать очищенное снова , поставить авто на участок, до конца неочищенный- нафиг такой помощник
Wow, Been there...done that. What a huge backbreaking job to have to break off slices, then blowing it off the the machine is so tedious. You have my respect my friend I have had to do it that way a number of times in my life (65yrs old in The Catskill Mountains) and man o man do you feel it the next day. Fantastic Job!!👍
@@chrisworkandmachines If your in the mood for looking up things.......Look up... Palenville, NY... population approx. 900. Not a city....not a village....but one step smaller....a Hamlet. That is where I live.
@@markg.2501 I did look it up right away but didn't get to reply onto your comment. Lovely place you're from! 😀👍 I do like this size of "village" as well. You won't find me in big cities very often... too many people 😆 I love traveling and Google Maps... haha, have spent so much time on it! Really interesting to see how youtube connects people from all over the world. Didn't expect that from some snowblowing videos 😅
I noticed you straining to push the blower to give it more traction not sure where you can get them do they make them for snowblowers or do you make em yourself always wonderd that
