Neighborhood Hero John Deere 3046R Snow Blowing My Neighbors Driveways GoPro Max  

That's what good men do. Help others by using their resources and talent. Giving back to our communities helps make our communities a better place. Much respect for you and what you are doing, my friend.

We need more people like you, may someone help you when you need it

Used to love helping out neighbors when I was a younger man of fifty. Now at seventysix and in not so great health I wish there was someone like you and your JD in the neighborhood.

Much respect to your choice of helping people. You are the hero for WANTING to do this! I find your work here so relaxing and rewarding to watch. And a big thank you for no music crap! That tractor is humming right along!

Really appreciate what you are doing, helping others !!!!! That's what I want to do in retirement !!!!! We will see how the health goes ! 65 in June 😢 Thanks for bringing us along and the inspiration to keep going 👍🙏❤

Definitely the right piece of equipment for that job 👍 Definitely right about no music, good videos are always destroyed with crappy music - great job.

I did 5 driveways with my quad on the last big storm we had. Like you I just smile and don’t expect anything. If they want to give me gas or some coffee I’ll take it, if not just knowing I helped is enough.

MR. Marauder Mitchelli You are the Hero The John Deere doesn't Drive and fill itself with Fuel, it takes a Great person to help his Neighbors.

A man from my own heart! I love doing/helping the same way. Kudos to you.

Nice tractor. Easy and comfortable for snow blowing

The pleasure you get from helping them must be immeasurable,keep up the good work 😊

sir, you are a good man thank you for helping .

Being a JD owner myself, I know where your heart is. 50% kindness to neighbors, 50% joy operating an awesome machine😅. How long would it take to shovel that much snow!? Great video!

LOVE This action!! Great work helping out your neighbors! Man that was a LOT of snow!! Great work buddy!

Bless you for your kindness to your neighbors! I can only wish there were more folks like yourself!

Reminds me when we bought our house. I bought a 32” snow blower/thrower. EVERYONE even the neighbors asked why the heck did I buy such a big snow blower? Mind you I have a 80’ one and a half car driveway driveway, 100’ of side walk plus 30’ walk to my front door step. That first snow storm brought 15” of heavy snow. I brought out my snowblower/thrower like a champ! I did the entire block’s side walk, both sides, and took care of my elderly neighbors driveways. It was fun, I’ll admit that. I’m still waiting for another big snow storm!!

The engine was running beautifully because it loved helping others. It's about that simple.

Nothing better than sitting in the cab of a tractor blowing snow. So fun!

New viewer here , love it. This is something I would, I was a volunteer firefighter for 8 years so I love helping people.

👏👏BRAVO, reminded me of our inner-city neighborhood (Minnesota) with 4 able sons around the house, dad would make us do the sidewalks up and down the block. Elderly ladies stopping over to say "thank you, what do we owe you?" my father would say "a hot cup of coffee." "When you go out into the world, hold hands and stick together!" - from Everything I know, I learned in Kindergarten

Your a great neighbor Pete , this yr I started doing my elderly neighbors driveways and walkways because I had found out another neighbor was charging them crazy amount of money for every 3” of snow myself and another neighbor said we will fix this ridiculous price gouger and are doing them to help the 85yr old young lady and the 2 other senior citizens who can’t shovel there driveways and town walkways

You are a good person that's what is important.

Welllll,,, ya knowwww. She IS a hero that day, but there’s an operator that is a pretty decent guy taking care of the neighbourhood hero!!! How’s that?? 😂😂. Sure told YOU!! 😮😮 😂. You’re a good guy. Great for noticing what others are doing as well and saying something about them publicly as well! That diesel and additives didn’t just pop up. Working a tractor like this does go through the fuel!! They LOVE being worked harder. They hit the right temperature, have all the right stresses and are in a league of their own. We did cultivating, discing, seeding, baling, snow removal, grounds maintenance, pulled bale wagons, worked the heck out of our 4 series and 3 series John Deere tractors. Now it just a 3046R like yours that I use a lot. Snow removal, mostly plowing as there’s not enough here in Alberta to warrant putting the snow blower on yet. The blade is attached to the loader and tilts either direction as well. Love it. The blower is a rear mount pto driven unit. I have the greatest wood splitter I can mount on the back that’s PTO driven!! My mill has a 2 cylinder 4 stroke engine, but 8 should have gotten the PTO driven unit as a mill instead. No sense leaving the tractor sitting while I use another motor,,,,. Those tractors are great machines.

I did the same as you're, I did 9 driveways for over 15 years, I know, it made me feel very good inside, and I didn't want anything in return. But it came to a halt one year when we had 15" of snow, so I got out and started to clean my neighbors ' driveways while all of them were cleaning their front doors, well, after three driveways, I ran out of gas, lifted the tractor hood, checked the oil, grabbed my spare can, and told them out loud that I needed gas. NO ONE MOVED OR SAID ANYTHING. BTW, my driveway wasn't clean yet, so got in my truck to get gas, came back, put gas in, and came back from a half-done driveway to clean my driveway, when finished, I parked, and grabbed a shovel to clean my front door. Not one came to offer gas or to clean my front door, that was the last time.

1. You are a really good guy for doing that. 2. That is a nice neighborhood. 3. I am sure the older people think you are a saint. 4. Nothing like being able to spend time in your toy (a really nice toy) while helping people

Nothing better than playing with the big toys. This year is a rarity for us in Winnipeg, Canada as not as much snow as everywhere else. You are a good man for helping out your neighbours. Go John Deere.

Neighbour’s helping neighbours is what counts

God Bless you. You are entitled to the pursuit of Happinesses.

Awesome helping your neighbors. And yes I’d rather hear the machines than music. Great job

Nothing like a good neighbor

I absolutely love helping people. Plowing my friends driveways, i think, makes me happier than it does them.

Making friends and having fun at the same time

It’s always good to have a good neighbor to help out

You’re a good man!! We use to get snows like that back in the 70’s in MN but not so much anymore, man I miss those days!! I really love the snow!! keep up the good work. Have a great day.

Love the equipment and love the love shown !! Thanks for sharing with us ❤️

I used to clear my neighbors’ driveways with my little Toro. Enjoyed it immensely but since moving to Texas from northern Illinois I don’t miss the snow at all!

We need more people in the world like you,,helping other's, that's what good man do,, helping naughbour love watching videos like this

To make sure you clear the fire hydrants. They get left behind during winter a lot of people forget about the fire hydrants. Great job you do thank you for the video God bless

A heart of gold saving many lives. That’s you friend!

Good to see people looking after each other

Well done brother, There's nothing like being in a position to be able to help others and knowing what a difference your able to make in someone else's life

What a good man you are.!!!! It so nice to see you help your neighbors out and have fun doing it. Great job…😊

You are a righteous individual and thank you for being you.

The smile is always worth it. My two favorite words, “tractor good”

Thanks Mitch!! You're a hero too !!

"There is no wisdom greater than kindness"! ✌️❤️

Thanks for the video Sir. I have a 3 acre lawn and volunteer to mow the grounds at my church which is a large parcel. I presently use a Scag zero turn but as I get older, the HVAC cab seems like a great idea. The 3046r is on my list to demo. I have to say I'm really impressed. I have a large farm and some large tractors but that size seems ideal with a snowblower and a 72 inch mid mount mower. Thanks so much!

Seat time! Is good time on a John Deere doing anything,but doing it and helping people ,its even better!

That Deere is a great machine. And you Sir, are a great neighbor for doing this for others.

That’s one heck of a unit. I can’t imagine trying to blow that amount of snow with my thrower. The properties are really quite large and beautiful homes. That John Deere isn’t a cheap unit for sure. I just happened upon your video. Your a good neighbour helping out your neighbours. The ones complaining about the strobe light I certainly wouldn’t worry about. I’m sure you feel better helping out too.👍👍🇨🇦

I have a suggestion. This comes from my time in Germany. Place poles along the driveways that tell you where the concrete ends. I would take 2x4's and rip them down into 2x1.5x6' strips. Then place them in the ground along the areas that will need to be plowed. Where you have a curb place the pole against the curb. When you don't have a cur, on your driveway, place the pole about 6" to 8" away from the paved surface. This way the distance you need to stay away from the poles is constant. Since you're saying that you get 4' drifts I would place a 8' pole. Put them in the ground in late October and take them up whenever you feel you've gotten the last snow of the season. I know this is a year after you posted this video but maybe you'll look and say this is a good idea. Or maybe you've already done this. Or maybe not. ✌

I know your having a blast, I'm having one also watching the video

What an incredibly decent human being you are, you are the true great American indeed. Australia would be proud to welcome as one of us

Your helping a bunch of rich people who can afford the own snowblower’s. Your a hero! Lol

Great Job Pete !! I can only imagine how many people watching your videos wish you was their neighbor !! LOL !! My brand new 3039R showed up at the dealership and they had to wait on back ordered hydraulic lines for the diverter valve kit I ordered ! It might have been the grapple lines for the loader ?? I did have them install the 3rd & 4th hydro couplers on the rear of the tractor also it might have been those lines ? And guess what as soon as those lines showed up they stated too prep her and yet her ready for delivery to my house and the master tech told my salesman that the belly mower is missing the mounting brackets straight from John Deere !!!! So somebody forgot to put all the hardware with the belly mower !! OH MY ! This really just happened just got a text from my salesman met me at 2pm today to do the paperwork your tractor‘s ready !!!!! That’s what I’m talking about ! Watching your videos has been good luck to me !!!! I’ll send you a pick Pete !! Talk soon ! Curt

I used to do the same when I had my old JD 750 (1984) with front blower. I regret every winter that I sold, even though I moved out of the countryside. However, for clean up, I actually used a box blade on the back to pick up the remnant from the blower (as I blew the snow) or pull up snow driven on or get close to garage doors where I couldn’t blow. I needed the back weight too. I’d clear several hundred feet before my mine and my neighbors drive too, just so the plow didn’t create more work for me later. Either way, you’re right, JD is the hero. I was just lucky enough to drive it…it gave me a ton of satisfaction too 😎. Keep up the good work!

Awesome Easy work for you and your DEERE looks like your having a ball too

I love your comment in the beginning of the video where we all need to help one another that is one hell of a statement we all need to work together first time to your Channel

You are a wonderful and kind human. We need more people like you! Love your videos. God bless.

I plowed snow for 4 years up in Buffalo NY for over 100 apartments ( both free and paid ) I found the best solution to this snow situation was to move to Charlotte NC and we never looked back. Now I just cut peoples lawn for 10 months a year. Stay warm my northern friends.

So awesome to see both the care given to neighbours as well as the tractor at work. Thanks for posting.

thank you for not speeding up the film and being in real time I liked it

OK! Ya got me! I'm jealous! The way the village plows snow we get those really high mounds at the driveway. I have always thought about being able to do that for myself and the neighbors here in WI

Absolutely. We all need to help each other

You may have saved someone's life that day. Great job

Your a very nice person to give your time to help your neighbors.

My neighbors love it when I show up with my little Wheel Horse blower. It is not half the size of your but we have smaller driveways and usually less snow

Yes we need more people like sir you are a great person ..The good Lord will bless you for this you are doing to his people (He said who do things for my people is also doing for me )..I am very happy to see people like you.. The way the people in this world are turning bad ..God bless you Sir and all your family and neighbords from northern mi

Just came across your channel. Love It! Love that you don’t speed it up and inform of us of little tidbits as you go, yet let us hear the machine work. Great Job!

you are a hero,god watches over people like you.awsome

If you get that much snow from time to time, those neighbors with those long driveways without a snowblower are just taking advantage of your good will. I used to do that in my neighborhood until after one snowfall I got a call wondering if was coming out and around to clear away snow because if I wasn’t then they would have to come out and do their driveway. I then realized that there are only X number of hours in a snowblower that I use, purchased and maintained. Volunteering is one thing, so is an expectation.

Awesome job. An act of kindness doesn't cost you anything. People are struggling nowadays and simple things go a long way. Thomas Dutkiewicz

So cool having tools like this to help people!

So happy I found you. 💕 your Hero!

Good man, wish there were more like you!

Thanks for sharing this video. We in the Midwest also help each other often. Keep up the good work.

Having the equipment to help is a great feeling, doing something without being asked that’s why we do these friendly jestures

plowing snow has been one of my most favorite things to do over the years, my 3720 John Deere was the first to have a cab making it so I could plow snow in a tee shirt. plowed 99 driveways for fun the last year before I moved to AZ, I really miss the snow plowing. Enjoyed your video.

Good neighbors do good things for sure. Our neighbors are managing our triple car driveway because hubby can't do it right now. It is a good thing to have good neighbors for sure. God Bless you and your wonderful hard working John Deere. We have a John Deere rider and that this is awesome for sure.

You, Sir. Are an amazing man. So nice to see someone helping people out. I admire what you do. I sometimes wish I would have pursued a tractor before I retired. I to myself help others when I can. All I have is a 1998 3/4 t Cummins . But it does what needs. That for sharing. 🙏

I'd say it's the mix you put into it that's making it run so well. I only use BP gas in my small engines, I can tell the difference in how they run. Great job helping the neighborhood.

I do the same thing for my neighbours when we get a huge dumping. One thing that I try to do is not hit the maple trees with the snow. The salt in it will kill the trees. It eats the bark. Nice that you can do this. I use a BX23S with the blower on the front. I do not have a cab on it, so I make sure I aim away with the chute.

Another great snow blowing video, Pete! You are so kind to help your community. It will come back to you someday in your time of need. Great to see a good WNY dump. We’ve had good snow and snowmobiling in the UP this winter. But the Lower can’t catch a break - rain, snow, rain, repeat.

You're a great neighbor

That's so cool! If I had a tractor and set up like that, I would do the same.

Tractor therapy is real

You are a good man sir!!

lol, I want to be your neighbor! You are a good man. Thumbs up!

Sir you are a scholar and gentleman!!! You Looking out for neighbors is awesome!!,

Great job on the snow blowing. And yes the cetane and antigel are helping it run really well. This from a diesel mechanic. It looks like you have some great neighbors also.

You d best!!! I ran a 1960 Kodiak for a ski area clearing the parking lots. That thing was miserable to run all night. Yours looks fun...and warm! Be safe. Don't find any yard knick knacks or concrete gnomes with the rotary.

That's quite a rig. Appreciate your willingness to help others too.

God bless you for helping out. First driveway would have taken literally all day, if not longer.🥰

Lots of Fun I am from Minnesota.

Bless you! BRAVO!!!’

Thank you....!!

wow, nice work they would have been shoveling until spring : )

at 10:00 i said im happy this guys shows all the content this long footage helps me understand the process that much more more great video too

Take care 💕

I agree with speeding the video - I can't watch them as it upsets my vertigo! Love hearing the machine, too.
