Perhaps, the most advanced snowblower! Never heard of these guys but it seems like they have one upped everyone who makes a standard snowblower. Just the ability to cleanly backdrag is a game changer.
I've never bought a snowblower for my equipment because of the inability to scrape to the surface. This solves the scraping & backdragging issues for sure - well done.
Having more fins on the impeller helps clear the snow through the chute faster and more efficiently. My push snow blower got wrecked last year, so when I rebuilt the impeller I made it w/4 fins. Now I can clear the same amount of snow with less load on the machine and it also throws farther.
Disclaimer---- NO dirt monkeys were hurt while riding on top of a Skidsteer in this video!!! Only dirt monkeys with years of experience should try this. That is one mean snowblower. Thanks 😇.
Most impressive, I love the track system Incorporated and would love to see what it would entail to remove and replace! The snow blower is almost orgasmic and what I like about the blower's is A, you got to place the snow where you want it and B, you're not incurring more wear and tear pushing the snow a second time. I think the downside might be the slower speeds compared to plows. Property damage and liability is definitely mitigated with this machine! Thanks bunches Stan, go get them and God bless, abundantly
We got one of these this winter, fantastic machine! Whoever they used as a shipper was garbage (it was someone other than Muskox), but it was worth the headaches. We've had a couple of minor hiccups (mostly operator error) and the folks at Muskox have gone above and beyond to take care of us! Can't say enough good things so far about the attachment and the company!
I was wondering what looked different about that skid steer. Now it makes a lot more sense. Hey Stan, growing up we had Artic Cat snowmobiles. Nothing says the north like snowmobile trails that pull into gas stations. Lol That blower looks absolutely amazing!!
I have been seeing advertisements for these and glad to see a video with information and use directly from the owners themselves. I have a few places I could use a blower, now just to justify the investment for my hobby to make winter more tolerable. Thank you for your videos.
That thing is pretty rad! My uncle outfitted a diesel Japanese 4x4 "kei" truck on 4 tracks and he bolted/welded two 36" blowers attached to a hydraulic lift for a plow. He's got them wired up to run simultaneously and its fully automated.
1 is he running it in high flow? 2 can you see the tilt indicator with the old SV cab? 3 the sound on the video makes it sound like it’s bogging down. That snow isn’t too deep. I would think you could go forward quite a bit faster.
I will say, when we have deep snow, a normal blower can’t get right up to the garage door, which can leave a fair amount of shoveling leftover. With the back drag feature, this unit would save some effort.
Dammit Stan, ya keep hooking me into these dang snow plow/brush etc videos. I’ve told ya, I don’t even live where I can use these machines, no snow, yet again I’m right here watching lmbo. Great work bud, keep ‘em coming.
If your in the business to clear snow in parking lots this is the machine blowing snow while back dragging feature is great the hydraulic feature that stops the auger when obstructed is excellent
Good to see some people from the Mentor area making it. When you live up here plowing isn’t a good option. When the wind blows you get socked in, blowing gives you a fighting chance to make it into March. Then the sun can melt it away.
Glad to see an extended video on this, seen the "short" on it...this is on my short lest of attachments. Although my Gravely XT with attached blower is very hard to beat.
I am a harsh critic and strangely I can't find anything here to critique negatively. A rare winner indeed and you should at this point be very proud of your efforts and accomplishments. There is still the more testing of this new design in practice and how it holds out and the upkeep and overall costs to consider. From what i can see though i have little doubt they will be minimal and redesigned if there are any issues. Amazing in todays market though
Very interested in this product (for the double auger function, not the ability to clear snow close to a building), but also strongly considering an Erskine (also sold by QuickAttach) 2420XL. Do you have any experience w that snowblower and can you provide any comparisons or recommendations for either? Thanks in advance.
Stan's reaction to it not having sheer pins was great. He was holding back a "are you fucking serious?" I feel like I'd be the one to break the hydraulic clutch feature. With a sheer pin, I just pop a new one in. This clutch thing breaks, it's weeks in a shop, expecting since there's only 400 out there being used so your local guy won't have these parts sitting around. If he can even fix the thing.
I was actually glad their weren’t sheer pins cause I think the hydraulic clutch is a much sturdier option. I also feel like it’s too soon to jump to conclusions about parts availability. I’ll keep you updated and informed as I use it, but I already put 40 hours cutting solid ice banks with this machine…that video will be out soon! The performance was kinda nuts.
Wow.. that back drag blow really makes this special. Never seen that before. I may adapt that plumb bob angle indicator idea to my bucket. I have a little RT-40 and wow, sold on ASV. So far a Grapple, Forks, Tiller, Trencher, Snow Blade. Never gets bad enough here for a blower like that in DC area. Next attachment may be an Auger.
That 6 blade fan is awesome I want to see it on an RT-135 at 50 GPM …how many GPM can it handle, Or a T86 at 45 GPM looks like a great unit,probably have to buy one. Well I commented to early 50GPM that’s Awesome
That thing is a snowEATER!! I don't have $$ to drop on one, heck I don't even have a skidsteer but 13k is really reasonable, I was expecting him to say, 20 to 25k! VERY NICE MuskoX!! 👍👍
I did feel it bogged down quite a bit and is weird sounding. None of the tractor mounted shaft/chain drive blowers ive run have sounded like that. Im assuming that ASV has about the highest flow you can get hydro wise too. With the tractor you just up the RPM slow down a bid and keep on chugging. Seems like it almost stopped the blower dead on that thing. I was looking at a used skid blower for next year but im unsure after seeing this. Can anyone clear this up for me?
So about 3 years ago I bought a mk Martin inverted snow blower for the 3 point hitch on my tractor I only take care of my driveway/farmyard and a few driveways on my road. I showed it to my buddy the landscaper who has several condo complexeshe does driveways for and he replaced 3 trucks with tractors and snow blowers his guys can get within 2 inches of the garage doors and it proved more efficient than a truck plow in the complexes
Omg stan. Your killing me. This blower as amazing. And when r u posting a full video on the arctic sectional truck plow. Like dam. I need to see that plow. I need to dam well own that plow. Come on man. Out with all the videos. I can't wait anymore.
@upallllnight oh yeah dude. Take a look at stans short videos. He posted it earlier today. And said at the end of a video last week that he was putting a plow on the ford truck made by the company that makes his favorite pusher. And of uve watch enough of his videos ull know his(and anyone who uses one) favorite pusher of all time is made by arctic sectional pushers.
Great question, You would have to make an adjustment and could make your own marks on there based on the job. Our operators don't necessarily need the leveling wheel after some practice.
