Nate, of course you have a Toolcat 😂 Been looking for a 3-4 year old used one with low hours forever.. using a JD 318 with the Model 47 “refrigerator” 2 stage blower for now.
Hey Jordan I’ve watched this on repeat so many times these last few days. Hope if you get a good snow this season you can tack your phone up in the back window and give us an extended video. It’s so relaxing to me. This is a dream machine of mine even though I have a small house!
When I move snow for my neighbor I use his tool cat with a blower we chain up all 4 tires and that machine does a very nice job, very decent power and extremely comfortable, when your working it hard it does go through a fair bit of fuel but its worth it in every way!
⚠ Awesome video Jordan ! I opened up YT this morning and your vid was right at the top as a suggested vid 2 watch. Ontario yeah ! Nice to see. We just got nailed a few days ago in the Ottawa area with a ton of snow. Not sure where you are in Ontario, but that is a hell of a lot of snow, and your new machine did a great job. So much power. I have a little Kubota BX2380 and I love it, but this is one sweet ride you have there. Thanks for posting ! 🙂
Whats not mentioned is that this rig is between $90,000 and $120,000 new to buy. The average person could hire a contractor to plow snow for many, many years and not spend near that amount. Fun to watch, but out of reach for many.
Who gives a rats ass what it costs. He’s not trying to sell you one. Look at all the private aircraft videos, some costing up to 4 mil. They’re not trying to sell you one either. Suck it up dude, don’t chirp this guy just because you’re living in your 20 year old Honda.
I was thinking the same thing. Well over $110k worth of equipment with no caps, meanwhile my $200 Porta Power has them. you would think it would be standard equipped at that price range.
Техника просто супер, не каждому по карману, у вас красивые ели в снегу, как в сказке, я пользуюсь обычным снегоуборщиком патриот, у нас высота снега достигает больше полуметра
hi there wish we would get a snow like that , wanted to try my new toolcat out . i got the blower and plow also . good fun show . my back bumper works , and adds almost 200 lbs ballast to the back, best to all john
I used to put those together when I first started at the Bobcat factory in Gwinner, build the R series loaders now. I always wanted a Toolcat. Still do. lol
Snow blower (looks like a 32x74) proudly made in Litchfield MN, Tool cat... Gwinner ND. Excellent Products! ** take my word for it** as a Quality Tech, spending time at both plants.
I was trying to determine where this was being shot from. I'm thinking maybe Guelph or S.S. Marie because I can recall getting major snowfalls like that when I was living there. Impressive machine.
On this unit I find it slows the auger down when the chute is pointed down and it doesn’t throw the snow far. When it’s pointed straight up there’s less resistance for the snow shooting out
It moves a lot of snow, at a pretty fast pace. We have a 30hp Kabota with a front blower. It would never move that fast with a full cut. Very impressive
IF you know you can not secure the equipment out of the elements, use a protective insert for the couplings and cover them with a plastic bag and or a tarp with a bunch of bungee cords. It will prevent ice from freezing in the couplings and lines. Try and spray down the augur, empower and chute with something slippery like WD-40 or silicone. I haven't tried it yet, I hear the new stuff for the cars is good also. I can't remember the name of it and want to say ceramic wax. There may be something even better...
Good place for the Kubota hydraulic quick connect system.... Just poking in some fun. All the hydraulic connectors will be a pain when they get wet and freeze. Nice unit though. Does it have a front mount finish mower attachment? Hesston used to make a similar setup back in the seventies with all the attachments.
Yeah you can buy the hydraulic quick connect for this machine too. The one option we didn’t get yet haha. Yeah you can use any attachments skid steer can use pretty much including mower. www.bobcat.com/na/en/attachments/equipment/toolcat
On your case drain line do you have a check valve on that line with the flow going from the machine to the blower? Try to figure out if I have a correct setup. Thanks
I have ag tires bought studs on Amazon 2 rows each tire , goes anywhere anytime ,only makes scratch if you spin tires like crazy on pavers, concrete, I wii get turf tires ,rims for summer I hope it easier on grass
My neighbor has one of these out here in Tahoe. Has saved my ass many times when it’s gotten too deep for my bronco with a plow. That thing is a beast. I’d love to find a good used one. And make some side cash.
What is the model number of the snowblower and the model number of the v plow ? I have tool cat need snow stuff what do you use more blower or the plow ? Do you have 24 inches of snow you can lend me ,great video !!
Snowblower is the SB32x74 and plow is the 96” bobcat v plow. Use both fairly equally. Use the plow early season more when the ground is still soft and there are lots of rocks on our gravel driveway then blower we use more mid season when all the white fluffy snow comes and the ground is nice and frozen. Kinda need both. They are both very capable. Haha we need all the snow we can get! Lots of snowmobile trails around us.
Good morning Jordan, I know you have the trolls commenting here so I’m not going down that whole!!! One thing I would like to ask you is, … what size orbit motor did they install on this blower??? It probably is a Char Lynn motor but there should be a nine digit number on the tag. Many times the dealer unloads whatever they have on the lot and it’s not correctly matched with your machine. I say this because that blower should be able to throw the snow a good 45 feet!!! I know this was a lot of snow and anything is better than a shovel!!! Lol I ran into this issue with my snowblower and it is costly to swap out the motors. For me it was $1,300 just for the motor to be placed on the counter!!! Those toolcats are a nice unit but extremely expensive to repair so if you are using this commercially, … keep that in mind!!! I seen guy’s snap of the casting on the boom where it attaches to the plate from pushing snow with a blade and hitting things!!! Great video and I wish you well!!! Art
Haha thanks for not trolling! We ordered the snowblower from the factory and it came with a Danfoss 160cc 26-31 gpm motor. Thanks for the information and shared experience!
It always seems like the impeller is undersized on hydraulic snowblowers. The auger seems to push the snow out front rather than draw it into the impeller which spills snow over the side, the machine doesn't seem to struggle much. I'd guess my rear 3pt blower on a tractor could go about the same speed, throw the snow much further and have hardly any spill out the side. What's the diameter and RPM on the impeller? Still beats shoveling or a plow truck 😁
Yeah watching this I was disappointed by how short the throw distance was, my walk behind Toro throws twice the distance with heavy wet snow. I was kinda disappointed to see no teeth as well, smooth sucks when the snow gets hard
Yeah snow is always flying into and sticking to the windshield but there’s a windshield wiper button on the joystick to give it a single wipe which is super handy
It's getting to the point where some individuals that have a bit of mechanical know how are just going to build their own or take broken down ones and replace everything in them.
@@Cadaverine1990 That's what I did. I can't afford something like this, and even a tractor and blower is out of reach with only a few years left till retirement. So I put a 6 foot Frontier blower on a truck and put an engine in the box to run the blower. It's all PTO driven and throws snow 60 feet. Cost was around $6,500.00 tax in. It's strictly a dedicated snow removal machine and works very well on my 1/4 mile acreage road with our Saskatchewan winters. A tractor would have been nice and would get more use out of it, but $$$ in the bank, dictate what toys you get to have.
Man, rich people have the best toys. Not only is it awesome but i can't imagine if my family has this level of security. Maybe one day i'll be born into a privileged home. That would be so cool to play with these tools.
Actually, you’re correct when I bought the thing I put down 10,000 and the rest was a loan that was the longest five years for something that only gets used when it snows , if I had half a brain , I should have bought a condo in Texas and rented it and I would have been passive income , I knew I made that mistake on the first loan payment was due ! but seeing that I work six days a week 10 hours a day for the last 42 I recovered ,you should see my Asv, RT 75 at least this machine makes its money back tenfold that’s why I love to go to work , the kids that went to college. They’re the rich kids. If you hang around people that work in the trades you two will be rich with the knowledge of repair it’s the best job security in the world impossible to get fired and you will still have work in a depression. That’s how my family got through the last one and the one before that , my grandfather’s quote , get to work and quit crying.
Yeah rpms are up. All depends on how wet the snow is. In this video It may be hard to tell but it was getting a solid 30-40ft in horizontal distance away from the machine.
@BigBodyPresence I can see that. Wet or not, it's still not far for such a big machine. How many horsepower is it? Could it be hindered by the hydraulic flow rate?
@billthompson8182 61 HP with high flow 27.9 gal/min hydraulics. Hydraulic blower is great for us because you can lift it up to full height (8 feet ish) and chisel away at snowbanks and what not. We had a PTO blower on our last bobcat and it was significantly worse than this hydraulic blower.
Nature doesn't have bad weather - Every weather is a grace. Rain or snow - any time of the year We must accept it gratefully. Echoes of spiritual bad weather, There is a seal in the heart of loneliness, And insomnia sorrowful shoots We should gratefully accept, We must accept it gratefully. Death of desires, years and adversity - Every day the luggage becomes more and more unbearable. What is assigned to you by nature, You should gratefully accept. Change of years, sunsets and sunrises And the last grace of love, As well as the date of your departure, You should gratefully accept, We must accept it gratefully. Nature doesn't have bad weather, The course of time cannot be stopped. The autumn of life, like the autumn of the year, Must be blessed without sorrow. It is necessary, without grieving, to bless, It is necessary, without grieving, to bless..
