Great vid.... Thats the real deal. I've got a snow removal company here in Calgary Alberta Canada, and I feel your pain. I'm 25 years in and still stacking. Thanks for posting...
You ever consider buying a older truck with a service box and equipping it with a gas air compressor generator and tools so when you are on a site you have appropriate tooling for repairs. You could put a blade or a Salter on it also. With that much operating Equipment all at once things are gonna break regardless of your prep time. You could have drove up with air on board and pumped up tires on the spot.
I know it was rough at the time, but it's darn entertaining to watch now. Un-stucking the truck had me rolling. It is great to see Booger working, looked like it did well. That's the old grandfather among the plows, working like the old days. Seems like it would make a good children's book.
It's fantastic how you guys handle break downs and shitty situation. Positive attitudes make for a positive work environment. I like how you put that in your videos so people know it's not all rainbows and puppies. Thanks for another great video.
Shew.....Stan...I'm so glad we're down here in the mild North Carolina country! Thanks so much for sharing the content....you guys are very blessed up there! Stay safe and warm! Josh #stoneyridgefarmer
Well thanks to your channel i just bought my 1st brand new plow Boss DXT 8.2 plain steel no poly or stainless I've had a few used straight blades in the past so here's hoping for lots of snow this winter
Loved the time lapse! I grew up in hutchinson and now i live in Iowa. Not to much snow here. Ive always wanted to push snow! I hope this is the year! Thanks for the vids!
Yes to time lapse! I'm subscribed to 109 channels at the moment, your channel is the only one that puts out content at 4K, now that I just got two 43 inch TV/monitors to replace the about a 3 year old set of the same size, but only at 1080, I can now enjoy your content at the full 4k resolution, Thanks!
Sir you guys are a great lesson for all of us in Britain who are wimps as regards the conditions that you guys have to put up with is a lesson for us to build upon. So thank you 🙏 guys for this reality check 👍 Tam.
First season with a dodge 2500 2013 and a snow dogg vxf9511, so far good aside from an electrical issue with the lights and signal lights, have to take the plow in this week to have it looked at. Love the videos, always a great resource to learn stuff.
Ah, the "caught with your pants down" snowstorm! If you've done it long enough, you've definitely had one(at least!). Because the only thing more fun than hooking up plows and finding out what doesn't work is doing it in darkness while laying on the ground in wet slush! And for every passing minute spent dealing with "the work before the work" the snow is getting heavier and harder to move.
Really Enjoyed the Time lapse footage. Great Video! Aside from the night you had, hope you have a great season! This will be my 1st time plowing this year.
Hey, Stanley I really like your snow plowing videos and all your other videos and I'm 15 and I do landscaping with someone and we do all seasons and I love winter and snow blowing and all that fun stuff. Keep up the good work on your videos!
That's 2020 for you... I own a commercial construction company in FL. We are having almost 3 times the normal repairs this year than normal. If it can go wrong it probably will... But hoping next year we have less than normal repairs.
Tip for puncture on front of backhoe. Lift front wheels off ground, press down on good side and wedge from that side between axle and axle stop with timber, gently lower wheels back down the damaged wheel will be in the air so you can steer. The unit will drive on 3 wheels
We get wet heavy snow up here in Northern BC and we get stuck all the time. No chains, we just quickly get a bucket or blade full of snow and we use that as a cushion between the two pieces of machinery. Quick and easy and we haven't damaged anything yet.
Stan- this was definitely one of my favorite recent videos from you. I’m not wishing bad luck upon you at all but I will say I always enjoy watching how others solve problems and different approaches to problems. The snow plowing is alawaysbgreat but thee isn’t much to it but the problem solving is definitely something I can learn on. This video of course a a bunch of mechanical problems which allowed for that to happen.
Great video keep up the awesome work you and your team do. Our company uses JD 544's and JD 644's to do snow plowing we also use from 15 foot pushers to 30 foot pushers.
Timelaps is pretty good. It compacts just as you compact the snow :). I like the way Andrew Camarata does his videos, where he shows in details in the beginning, how it's done and then move to timelaps, to make it more interesting and not "long" for the same action. Not saying I don't like long videos, but keep it interesting is key and with timelaps it's a good help for sure. I have no problems with your videos. You are full of energy and it spreads :) Cheers from Copenhagen, Denmark
Honestly Stan really appreciate that you guys don’t get too frustrated and turn the camera off when things go south because then people actually get to see what we go through on any given night when plows are out
Oh memories of plowing the big lots in Cleveland...we would those temp swings regular. An easy push would turn to all heck breaking loose real fast. And metal would twist and break quick when misjudging. Glad it was you guys and not us
Yes it was and we just had a killer twenty two inches in lyndhurst Ohio. Suburb of Cleveland. All heavy wet concrete like. Worst ever. But we survived it.
Ironically, we had quite the night up here near Toronto that same storm! Pin fell out of the arm of our Tractor -had to call in a sub to complete the work we were subbing on.
Had a situation like that before without a backhoe or assistants. What worked was deflating the tires on the truck and then using a portable compressor to get them back up. Also some Deoxit or similar products go a long way on plow connectors and trailer harness. For ice buildup under plows a digging bar helps.
Hey a trick for the flat tire on tlb is pick front end all the way up. Wrap a chain around the axel and the lift arm and lift up. It will hold the flat tire up and you can drive on the other tire. We used this trick all the time at the railroad and we were able to drive them to the tire shop or back to the shop.
Unexpected storm - Icy Being caught off guard - Dicy Carrying a portable air compressor that can do the job - Priceless Amazon - ARB (CKMTP12) 12V Twin Motor High Performance Portable Air Compressor. With all that equipment, I'm surprised you don't already carry something like this. Tip: Wire it up with quick disconnects to save even more time and get back to plowing sooner.
One of my favorite jobs plowing snow but wet heavy sucks no matter what. That cab style on the 310e is one of my favorite because it mimics the farm tractor of that time the soundgaurd cab
Just me but what i would do is shovel out enough room for a ramp that you use for oil changes and such and back got forward right over it. Might work. I might be wrong but hey. Thats what your here for stan. Lol. The lapse videos are great. Keep up the good work.
love time lapses. If you don't time-lapse I end up doing it myself by fast-forwarding when you are not talking. Also, love the director's commentary. I really did like this one, not that I don't like the others.
I do like the time laps footage, Danny is definitely getting better at editing and music choices are really good in this video. But I do wish Danny would let us see the outcome on things more often, like how did Alex's white truck get free from the packed ice.
Little tip, most farm tractors and back hoes will have individual brakes like that. Very handy at times especially like when your front tire was flat. But hey could’ve been worse! Be safe
Love these snow videos. I’ve been running western plows for the last 6 years but just bought a truck with a blizzard. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Would love to see your opinion of them if you’ve ever used them.
I shoveled through this storm in northeast ohio it was the heaviest snow of all time I was not ready either for it awesome vids dude much love from ohio
When mounting your sno-power, ALWAYS set the 4 5th wheel pins in first. Ignore the hitch mount. Once those are in, place a floor jack under the frame of the blade just below the pump box. Jack up the blade to align the receiver hitch ( the solid receiver block should already slid into the truck receiver as far as possible. No pins in it yet. Jack up plow until you can slide the block back to the plow frame and align all holes. Install receiver pins and you are done! Reverse this procedure for removal of sno-power with mount still attached.... The secret is the order and the floor jack 😁
lol first part of the video going by 5 I see they finally got it done and open lol I was working on the total shutdown on 5 doing patch & repair this whole summer east bound and west hope it rides smooth for yea guys!! love watching you're videos when Im layed off!!
@@Dirtmonkey the last thing I needed was a beacon for my lawn mower I put a cab on my lawnmower for this winter. Its a 1988 lawnmower with a 46" single stage snowblower that works well. I dont clear big lots like you guys and I definitely don't have big equipment like you guys so I blow all the snow it works well for me.
Hey long time viewer. Season after season I see you guys getting better and better . I think you guys can REALLY benefit from farm tractors and snow blades ... Here in Quebec canada pickup trucks are super rare with snow blades . You have #1 ag tractors and #2 loaders . You don’t even need to own the tractors just rent them from farmers for the winter period. Low running cost and lots of power
Awesome video brother! BTW... we love the time lapse videos! Thank you and your amazing team for what yall do and especially for sharing with us. Stay safe and God bless! The "clickbait" title pulled me in big time... but it was very worth it. We all enjoyed watching it here.
Awesome video. Try to put more weight in the back of that loader and you probably will be able to push better. And of course snow tires help. Dealing with the same stuff up here in Winnipeg Manitoba CA 👍👍👍
@21:00 that's why I carry a normal dirt spade or square nose shovel. Alot of people always make fun of me for carrying a dirt shovel but there's been many times where I have been stuck and a normal snow shovel would just break or even a grain shovel just is to big to get into tight space and to big to be able to dig deep into hard packed "concrete" snow like what made that truck stuck. And for the sldg have you ever thought about those chains or heavy nylon strap chains that are all safe for using on tar and concrete? I mean with loader tires and ag tires unless condition are perfect unless s guy runs chains
I can't believe that you don't have a service truck with a air compressor and fuel tank as big of business that you are you would think you would have 1
One of my friends makes this thing called “ workskid” has compressor fuel tank welder torches hose wheels power wheels everything And you can load it in with a Skidsteer or TLB
@@Dirtmonkey the cost of a fully equipped service truck is underestimated by most people that are not in the industry. Most of your equipment seems new enough to be reasonably reliable, or even borrowed/loaner/demo type stuff where you don’t need to deal with the repairs. So, honestly I don’t think the cost of a service truck would really be justified for you. Regardless, If you want to see some nicely equipped heavy equipment service trucks, check out cottontop’s videos on his experience kitting them out AND wearing them down. Let his half million plus investment and experience with them give you a heads up if you do go that route.
You got ALL the problems out of the way! No more problems the rest of winter! I'm wishful thinking! Making me tired just watching it. LOL! On the plus side, nobody got injured in the making of this video!
Great title! I got my new 36” plow markers from winter last week, no way anyone could not see those things. They do look good on my stainless fisher xls.
Get yourself a small cargo trailer and put it a genny, small welder, torch and air compressor and keep it at your staging area. Would make your life a ton easier.
@@Dirtmonkey It is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. We have a trailer that is used for the shoveling crew, extra shovels, clothes, gloves, heaters and necessary equipment for emergencies. I am sure once you are switched over to snow you will be more prepared.
Nice to know I'm not the only 1 to run a bussiness like a s..t show. Just kidding. We all have issues that come up at the wrong time. Your guys kept a good attitude. Nice to read the comments and see everyones opinions on what they would have done. We can all learn something.

Since you asked, the time lapses are GREAT!
Cool...thanks for that
Love the plowing time lapse
Agree 100% love em
I agree 👍
Agreed, the time lapse are awesome
Great vid.... Thats the real deal. I've got a snow removal company here in Calgary Alberta Canada, and I feel your pain. I'm 25 years in and still stacking. Thanks for posting...
Right on
The attitude you have when so much is going wrong just blows my mind. I would have been losing it. Good on you Stan.
Thanks Jake!

You could put a blade or a Salter on it also. With that much operating Equipment all at once things are gonna break regardless of your prep time. You could have drove up with air on board and pumped up tires on the spot.
Even a baby Honda generator and small pancake air compressor would be better then nothing.
I used to have a service truck but retired it.
Great video Stan! I've learned from experience that it's always best to have the plow on the truck before the snow starts to fly.
Very true!
Love your videos! Watch with my boyfriend every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Always get a good laugh!
Love that bonding time haha
Great vid Stan thanks for showing us that not every job goes without a hitch
You bet
I know it was rough at the time, but it's darn entertaining to watch now. Un-stucking the truck had me rolling. It is great to see Booger working, looked like it did well. That's the old grandfather among the plows, working like the old days. Seems like it would make a good children's book.
Right on- you know BOOGER! So cool!!
When it rains it pours when it comes to equipment breakdowns! Great video as always!
You got that right!
It's fantastic how you guys handle break downs and shitty situation. Positive attitudes make for a positive work environment. I like how you put that in your videos so people know it's not all rainbows and puppies. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Bro!
Great plowing viedos. Really happy with this new format. Commentary + Action. Time lapses are great. Also love seeing those loaders work too.
I love these videos, Stanley has got the best plowing videos by far. Keep up the awesome work man!

That's 2020 for you... I own a commercial construction company in FL. We are having almost 3 times the normal repairs this year than normal. If it can go wrong it probably will... But hoping next year we have less than normal repairs.
"I promise i'll give it back in a bit" has to much fun and Stan never give it up :D i dont think i would have
Thanks...support is awesome & needed😉
And he made sure the hear was working b4 he took it lol
Heat
@@birdhunter2754 haha yeah why take it if the heat isn't working i bet Stan would have gave it back if it stopped :D

I love the time Laps in the videos and love the awesome music 😎 this is some great content!
I'd love to live in a place where property owners actually care about their parking lots in the winter
Same it would be sick they only plow it at Canadian tire
You have never paid to get a parking lot cleaned huh?
yeah me too
@9:55 I am very impressed with that. That is extremely heavy snow too. Wow. That thing is going to be badass when you get a fluffy stuff.
Alot of area to clear last storm we had was projected no snow glad i put on plow. Thanks for video
Great video keep up the awesome work you and your team do. Our company uses JD 544's and JD 644's to do snow plowing we also use from 15 foot pushers to 30 foot pushers.
That is awesome!
I wish we could plow as fast as those time lapses are!!!! Life would be great :)
i like when you talk on top of the videos and explain how and why you do things because im 15 and i am one year in to landscaping this past summer

Stan as always I love your plowing videos they are a true work of art with all of the challenges you guys over come.
Glad you like them!
@@Dirtmonkey Also Stan when it is summer spring or fall where do you store all the plows?
Oh memories of plowing the big lots in Cleveland...we would those temp swings regular. An easy push would turn to all heck breaking loose real fast. And metal would twist and break quick when misjudging. Glad it was you guys and not us
Yep- sounds like this one. Was it similiar?
Yes it was and we just had a killer twenty two inches in lyndhurst Ohio. Suburb of Cleveland. All heavy wet concrete like. Worst ever. But we survived it.
You’re absolutely killing it. Us in northern IL just waiting for a little snow! Going to be a horrible year here!
Love the time lapse videos. An I sure do wish I could come join ur crew. 👍👍 Been watch y'all for a year now just don't comment. Keep it up
Nothing better than twisted plows/frames. We have one we get 1 pin in. Then we have to push other wing into curb to lock the 2nd pin haha!
Also maybe get 4 Chinese to American Air converter! Then all tires will be ready for American Air!!!
3 guys with shovels would have cleared that glacier in the time you guys screwed around.
Ironically, we had quite the night up here near Toronto that same storm! Pin fell out of the arm of our Tractor -had to call in a sub to complete the work we were subbing on.
Those pins are tough to do during a storm and at night. and thats when they always give you a problem.
Had a situation like that before without a backhoe or assistants. What worked was deflating the tires on the truck and then using a portable compressor to get them back up. Also some Deoxit or similar products go a long way on plow connectors and trailer harness. For ice buildup under plows a digging bar helps.
Hey a trick for the flat tire on tlb is pick front end all the way up. Wrap a chain around the axel and the lift arm and lift up. It will hold the flat tire up and you can drive on the other tire. We used this trick all the time at the railroad and we were able to drive them to the tire shop or back to the shop.
ABSOLUTELY KEEP THE TIME LAPSES COMING. I LOVE THEM
Unexpected storm - Icy
Being caught off guard - Dicy
Carrying a portable air compressor that can do the job - Priceless

Tip: Wire it up with quick disconnects to save even more time and get back to plowing sooner.
I have one- doesn't work on bigger tires like the loader
One of my favorite jobs plowing snow but wet heavy sucks no matter what. That cab style on the 310e is one of my favorite because it mimics the farm tractor of that time the soundgaurd cab
Thanks for the input...Nice!!!
That back blade is a cool set up. Very impressive how much it was able to plow in reverse.
LOVE THE TIMELAPSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
I sure like all your videos and time lapse videos😎
Just me but what i would do is shovel out enough room for a ramp that you use for oil changes and such and back got forward right over it. Might work. I might be wrong but hey. Thats what your here for stan. Lol. The lapse videos are great. Keep up the good work.

Yep- very small area that it hit in
@@Dirtmonkey hopefully they are right about tonight and not getting much. Have a good season man.
Man that storm dumped on you guys! Not sure we even got rain here! Great video!
Hey long time viewer.
Season after season I see you guys getting better and better .
I think you guys can REALLY benefit from farm tractors and snow blades ...
Here in Quebec canada pickup trucks are super rare with snow blades .
You have #1 ag tractors and #2 loaders .
You don’t even need to own the tractors just rent them from farmers for the winter period.
Low running cost and lots of power
I run my own lawn care business here in Indiana and I felt you pain on a lot of these things lol keep on keeping on brother and keep up the content 💪🏽
Love the time lapse. 👍
Love your videos man .....god bless go get them
Awesome video brother! BTW... we love the time lapse videos! Thank you and your amazing team for what yall do and especially for sharing with us. Stay safe and God bless!
The "clickbait" title pulled me in big time... but it was very worth it. We all enjoyed watching it here.
Much appreciated! U too!
Like the timelapses! Hopefully you guys get all the breakdowns at the beginning of the season and get it over with!
Thanks! I like it too. And that would would be awesome!!!
Awesome time lapse!
Thanks a lot!
Time lapse is great. With your commentary at the same time, it works.
If I owned a business in that complex I’d bring your crew coffee and donuts....you guys do great clean up on that place......
Awesome video. Try to put more weight in the back of that loader and you probably will be able to push better. And of course snow tires help. Dealing with the same stuff up here in Winnipeg Manitoba CA 👍👍👍

Right?!?
This sounds like a great idea
SAME BRO IM LIKE HOW DO YOU PLOW WET CEMENT
Then I realized they meant heavy wet snow loll
That was some heavy snow, it was like pushing a giant slushee.
Yes- exactly
You got ALL the problems out of the way! No more problems the rest of winter! I'm wishful thinking!
Making me tired just watching it. LOL!
On the plus side, nobody got injured in the making of this video!
Keep plowing on, wishing here in ND would get snow soon!
Best of luck on the snow
@@Dirtmonkey thanks Stan
I thought the same about the forecast, it was a scramble for sure. At least everybody else was in the same boat as us.
Totally!!!
Great title! I got my new 36” plow markers from winter last week, no way anyone could not see those things. They do look good on my stainless fisher xls.
I am surprised you haven’t bought tires yet for the loader for winter! Love this channel
Get yourself a small cargo trailer and put it a genny, small welder, torch and air compressor and keep it at your staging area. Would make your life a ton easier.
Great idea
He has one somewhere he use for storage
Until someone steals it
I used to have one on site but didn't really use it much.
@@Dirtmonkey It is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. We have a trailer that is used for the shoveling crew, extra shovels, clothes, gloves, heaters and necessary equipment for emergencies. I am sure once you are switched over to snow you will be more prepared.
Nice to know I'm not the only 1 to run a bussiness like a s..t show. Just kidding. We all have issues that come up at the wrong time. Your guys kept a good attitude. Nice to read the comments and see everyones opinions on what they would have done. We can all learn something.
True and true Ken. Thanks and God bless brother!
You could’ve had the lot plowed with just the front plows by the time you hooked up back plow 🤣
Seriously. Then reversing to plow I've never seen it before.
No- we plow 2.1 million square feet- The Back plows are MUCH faster on that type of square footage.
I love how some of your videos show the reality of running a business, not everything runs smoothly
