I'm the guy in Florida missing out on all of that... Born and spent 18 yrs down here, joined the Coast Guard, and spent 25 years in northern MN and MI. Moved back to FL 10 yrs ago. I don't miss the snow all the time, but I do miss it enough to watch all your snow related content along with spending a couple weeks up the U.P. each winter snowmobiling with friends. Thanks for the shout-out 😉
I’ve been plowing for about 20 years with 5 off in the middle when my daughter was little. I almost feel like it’s in my blood and it’s something I’ll always do. Thanks for the videos. I’ve always enjoyed them
i like talk more then no talk / butt this video was fun and new / i enjoyed the view from in the loader and was neat watching ya stack the snow up with the pusher / makes me want to get my old 94 explore back up n going / off road use only but she can push the snow. thanks for the awesome videos .
On 1/1/23 we got 2' of snow. Last time we got that much was in 1993. It is a blessing to see so much, but still worry about what spring will bring for my business.
Hey, rain or not, it was just cold enough overnights to justify salt over here. I am done with salters though, were going to brine next season. I use brine now on our atv and utv and wow does that have a massive effect on customer happiness. Burn down is instant, nobody tracks in salt into the expensive lobbies and whatnot, I cannot tell you how much praise it brings.
One of my favorite videos from you Stan. Love the honest ups and downs and legit conversations of a snow removal contractors life cycle during a live event.
Yeah this snow storm really put a beating on my plow and thank god it held up. Great job Stan and the crew. You guys are really out there working hard. Especially maintaining those school lots clean.
I can't get over how many awesome employees you have Stan. You have to rip most those guys out of the plows and send them home, or else they'll just keep working haha!
Good boss = good employees. Don't stress your workers and they won't stress you. Boss has to know how to treat everyone right and not make anyone feel undervalued or over worked. Simple but missed by way too many people.
Lol I’ve done 16 hours running a walkway crew , went home for 3 hours , then went out for another 12, now THAT is a workout .. all we had were shovels and one snowblower cause our other one broke .. I could spend 24 hours in a machine no problem
I agree and I am lucky enough to have a boss like stan we keep going and going until he threatens us to go home 😂 keep up the great work From upstate NY
Well, alot of us here in Florida, were in your shoes many moons ago Stan... 😁 I pushed snow for way too long.. So now thanks to you, I get to watch from a distance! Great stuff. Be safe brother!
Stan, besides the great work that you and your team does. I wanted to let you know personally, that your edits are terrific. I love how you let us know who everyone is on video, and the song and band we hear. Please continue with your great work.
You're lucky to have all that snow so far this winter. I'm in Northeast CT and I have seen about 5 inches so far. My first storm in mid December had 4 and I had an inch on Monday.
I have really enjoyed your videos and have a ton of respect for you with the attention to details you follow through on. So I was very surprised when you drove off with a foot of snow on top of your truck like that. It even fell forward over your own windshield when you pulled up to the worksite. This may have been the only time you have ever done this, but how bad would you have felt if that had blown off onto some families windshield behind you and possibly killed them. I’ve had snow hit my windshield on the highway from that and I was lucky I did not do any panic maneuvers and everything was ok. I wish more people would think of this before jumping on the roads. I will continue watching your videos because you really display a lot of up standing qualities to everyone around you.
ive been watching your videos for years and i look forward to seeing them. after watching your snow plowing videos makes me want to invest in a plow and go start my own. cant wait to see more!
Man, that makes for some loooong days! But, ya gotta make hay while the snow flies.😁 Here in Illinois, just east of Moline, we have had a little over 6 inches of snow so far this season and about 2 inches of rain. We did have some below zero weather around Christmas. Just got enough to get some ice fishing in between Christmas and New Year’s Day and again the next week before it warmed up and melted along shore where we go. The storm you are in is supposed to be here tomorrow and dust us with up to 3 inches. Be careful out there.
How cool. Watching your videos makes me want to come up from Tennessee and help you plow for a week. Keep 'em coming! And talk/no talk, it's all good. Be safe.
Stan I do love how you take time to explain stuff and I enjoy the way you just quite an just Get-R-done watching your snow plowing videos is like a ride down memory lane, hmm you mentioned something about the school's my highschool would let me plow in the morning to get the busses out mainly inner city kids my first plow truck was a 74 International 1 ton p/u it had an ole Cummins 235 and pushed like a dozer . So thank you and all the guys at Dirt Monkey 💯 from Gaffney South Carolina formerly from Central Maine.
Another good video, and of course I get to see my favorite ASV-S in action. What I just realized, is you are driving a Ford. I think I need to sit up straighter when watching. Thank You Dirt Monkey Force.
There are times I miss it, but days straight weren't always fun, lol. Listened to music &/or the cb, to rock the night away. When ya plowed at 2am & they're calling at 6:30 that a bus is stuck (& you're still plowing accts!), def stressed ya out... Lol... Nice work, good flow, & edit too I suppose. Thanx !
S-DM- G -- I am in CANADA - We get Feet of snow - Inches of rain - and we just move it. Almost a 1 km driveway here at Central! I wish you your crew health and wellness. Cheers! You ALL are an inspiration! Thank YOU ALL
Great plowing action, Stan. Talking is good especially if you are explaining what we are seeing. I actually don't mind it. Stay safe and warm up there!
Stan, I do believe you have the best employees around buddy! I remember back in the 70's and 80's my dad was a city mechanic up in WV, they'd call him out when it snowed and he might be gone for 3 or 4 days until all the roads were cleared. That's back when it snowed so much us kids could dig tunnels thru the snow from being so deep😄 Those were the good ol days... God Bless brother 🙏 Jay.
You know what would be cool? Maybe you can invent one Stan, but imagine a car/ truck cover, but it’s heated just enough for snow to melt and not accumulate on the vehicle! For those who don’t have garage parking! I’d buy one! Especially for taller vehicles and trucks! Love these videos always have lol. Wintertime plowing videos are one of my faves, then my second favorite is your skid loader and demolishing vids!
Ha. I had enough snow in 14 years of living in Vermont to last a lifetime. Moved there from New Jersey and loved snow when I moved. Nope, I’m done. We had a heavy frost here in N. Florida this morning but it got up to 60 this afternoon. Back to shorts on Sunday. 😊
Yeah that rain on top of snow is very common here in coastal Maine. As you said it goes from fun to something else fast. We had a nice snowfall recently, which in less than 15 minutes of rain, turned to a nightmare. Luckily I had swapped from a Wideout style, to the Fisher Xv2 for the battle ❄️
I have a Eden bass cab. Named after Eden Prairie. The Town the company was formed in. Awesome videos. I have to say. I’m not a fan of shoveling and snow blowing. U.P. Michigan Winters kinda suck. But we deal with it. It beats the heat in the south any day.
Sitting in California with a T-shirt on and shorts. I lived in the Midwest when I was a kid never will I Live like that again. You should see if you could get a contract with the cities for big trucks.
I definitely like the conversations you have with us while you’re plowing. The music, not so much. I was in the landscape/snowplow business for 23 years, keep up the great work,
Hey Stan, great channel, and I LOVE all the information you provide. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽 as far as talking, I love the commentary you provide. Y'all are a cleaner version of the Army lol. I know behind-the-scenes is a bit different but nonetheless, the comradery is definitely on point sir! If you ever find yourself on the way to the Upper Peninsula, drop a line.
Amen to "couldn't do it"!! Been in Hawaii almost 31 years, been building our homestead for the last ten so I can get back home to Alaska!!!!! Miss snows and storms badly!!!!
I'm a hour north of Niagara Falls in Ontario. We are yet to have a good storm been out twice both were 2 maybe 3 inches. Keep up the great work been watching for years now
I am 66 years old and as a kid I used to watch the guy come plow our neighbors across the street with his Jeep Wrangler ( I think that’s what they called them then) I still enjoy watching although that was in upstate NY just above Albany. I’ve lived in Salem Oregon now since 1975 in the Willamette Valley. The planets need to be in alignment to get snow here. I miss it
We had some stuff put in our 2wd tractor rear tires... I recall it being extremely expensive. But it wasn't beet juice lol. I remember them saying it was kinda like antifreeze.
I have lived here in Phoenix my whole life. It’s crazy to see the great lengths you go through to clear snow. I just get a frosty windshield 8 times a year.
The one thing I have found out in my years of snow plowing is that the more people and equipment in a lot the less efficient you are. You always have someone who leaves snow piles for the next guy to pick up with bigger equipment and someone will get stuck in the snow pile. One thing I would do is follow the trucks to the loading docks find out the dock they were going to plow it out and around it and get the hell out of the area. My job was to keep the trucks moving at the factory in and out. There was a public street not part of the plow contract I would plow it anyway free of charge to keep the factory open. The detention down time was $15,000 dollars a minute if you shut down production at the GM factory. It was a supplier for GM factory. Sometime more is not better.
If that happened in Acadia Parish down here in south Louisiana we’d be shut down faster than you can say pandemic. Anyhow it’s really good to see an employer that actually cares about his employees. Guys don’t stay at their company if they ain’t treated right and you have guys that have been with you for years, tells me a lot about you as a man.
Enjoyed the video format and music .. also like when you explain your methodology for whatever you're working on .. I'll never have experience at clearing and landscaping and enjoy watching pro's get it done . Make sure to get enough sleep and food .. those long shifts are difficult to keep focus and be alert .
I love the work environment that you’ve created as a boss and with your employees. We need more people like you
I'm the guy in Florida missing out on all of that... Born and spent 18 yrs down here, joined the Coast Guard, and spent 25 years in northern MN and MI. Moved back to FL 10 yrs ago.

Thanks for taking us along Stan. Appreciate it

Great Snow plowing as always ❄️👍
Appreciate it 👊
These snow videos are so relaxing to watch! I love watching you all snow plow. The more snow the better!! Love it!
loved the kick back with tunes and ride!!!
I love the ride along like this
Cool beans 👌
On 1/1/23 we got 2' of snow. Last time we got that much was in 1993. It is a blessing to see so much, but still worry about what spring will bring for my business.
Great Stuff, keep them coming, you guys are excellent!
Thanks man and you bet!
Stan, you have to clear the snow off the roof of your truck too!
My areas "record breaking snow" was almost 2 inches of rain. Hope you are recovering your sleep Stan! Keep up the great work!
Hahah wow hope you’re recovering from that record snow hit
Hey, rain or not, it was just cold enough overnights to justify salt over here. I am done with salters though, were going to brine next season. I use brine now on our atv and utv and wow does that have a massive effect on customer happiness. Burn down is instant, nobody tracks in salt into the expensive lobbies and whatnot, I cannot tell you how much praise it brings.
great video and you have a great day of snow plowing
Thanks Brian 👊
One of my favorite videos from you Stan. Love the honest ups and downs and legit conversations of a snow removal contractors life cycle during a live event.
You guys are working your tails off. Good thing your making money. Good stuff Stan, you have a good crew, thank you for sharing !!!
Thanks for bein here 👍
Stan, tanks for the ride along 👍👍👍👍👍😾🤨🐺
Thanks for tagging along
Yeah this snow storm really put a beating on my plow and thank god it held up. Great job Stan and the crew. You guys are really out there working hard. Especially maintaining those school lots clean.
Thanks man we appreciate it! Sounds like you know what goes into this kinda work. God Bless 👍
Talk or no talk, both are good. I always watch till the end, thanks.
I can't get over how many awesome employees you have Stan. You have to rip most those guys out of the plows and send them home, or else they'll just keep working haha!
You know you got a good team when they actually kinda enjoy what they’re doing!!
Good boss = good employees.
Don't stress your workers and they won't stress you. Boss has to know how to treat everyone right and not make anyone feel undervalued or over worked. Simple but missed by way too many people.
Lol I’ve done 16 hours running a walkway crew , went home for 3 hours , then went out for another 12, now THAT is a workout .. all we had were shovels and one snowblower cause our other one broke .. I could spend 24 hours in a machine no problem
Agree! He’s professional, thoughtful, cares about his crew/employees, they seem happy! Amazing! Keep up the great work!
I agree and I am lucky enough to have a boss like stan we keep going and going until he threatens us to go home 😂 keep up the great work
From upstate NY
Up at 2am.....putting in 15 plus hours/day. I have a new appreciation for plow drivers.
Not the most luxurious thing 😂😅
i wouldn't change the vid style. nice ballance of both. Enjoyed the school snow day analogy ;)
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
6:58 This is what happens when you DO NOT take ALL the snow off your truck!!!
Well, alot of us here in Florida, were in your shoes many moons ago Stan... 😁
I pushed snow for way too long.. So now thanks to you, I get to watch from a distance!
Great stuff. Be safe brother!
Love the videos
I enjoy just watching the plowing. Thank you so much for these videos.
For almost 800$ that sure is a small box of parts. Thanks for the videos
Glad your not suffering the effects of global warming like we are in New York. We only have 3 inches of snow on the ground
I like the talk. Makes things more interesting.
Great job!! Was in the plowing business for over 20 years. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks for sharing!!
Stan, besides the great work that you and your team does.
I wanted to let you know personally, that your edits are terrific. I love how you let us know who everyone is on video, and the song and band we hear.

You're lucky to have all that snow so far this winter. I'm in Northeast CT and I have seen about 5 inches so far. My first storm in mid December had 4 and I had an inch on Monday.
Come and get ittt 🥶
You can have the snow from the Keweenaw too, lol. It'll be mindblowing though, fyi
I have lurked on your channel for almost a year and just subscribed, but by far your snow removal content is my favorite.
I have really enjoyed your videos and have a ton of respect for you with the attention to details you follow through on. So I was very surprised when you drove off with a foot of snow on top of your truck like that. It even fell forward over your own windshield when you pulled up to the worksite.

I will continue watching your videos because you really display a lot of up standing qualities to everyone around you.
I just shake my head!😵💫. Glad you like it.🥶 Phoenix👍
Love watching the action. No talk but still enjoy your talking.
ive been watching your videos for years and i look forward to seeing them. after watching your snow plowing videos makes me want to invest in a plow and go start my own. cant wait to see more!

So thank you and all the guys at Dirt Monkey 💯 from Gaffney South Carolina formerly from Central Maine.
I don’t mind when you talk over a Timelapse but it is nice every once in a while to just hear the machines running with no other sound. Great video 👍
I like to watch snow plowing videos before sleeping
Another awesome video
Another good video, and of course I get to see my favorite ASV-S in action. What I just realized, is you are driving a Ford. I think I need to sit up straighter when watching. Thank You Dirt Monkey Force.
Man you guys are killing it. Hope for no snow for a week.
That’d be nice 😅
Glad someone is getting snow. Northeast Indiana, we’ve only had to plow twice this season
Have a blessed Sunday Stan!!!
These are the videos i like to watch not much commentary just plowing with a little back music. Keep up the great work.
Man you guys have been getting hammered! I’m across the big lake and we haven’t gotten no where near that much
There are times I miss it, but days straight weren't always fun, lol. Listened to music &/or the cb, to rock the night away. When ya plowed at 2am & they're calling at 6:30 that a bus is stuck (& you're still plowing accts!), def stressed ya out... Lol...
Nice work, good flow, & edit too I suppose. Thanx !
Stan you are Blessed to have the Men you are Grooming! Stay Greatful! Be safe and Good Orderly Direction prevails Friend!
When you get a free coffee, man, it makes a big difference to you on the job. Thanks for all those in the food service industry helping us out!
Looks like you need to start buying fords and option them with the new seat option that lays flat and turns into a bed so everybody can sleep onsite.
Haha just might
I love these videos Stan they are super peaceful to watch. Plus we get to jump in machines not all of us own.
Another great video
That was very relaxing Stan. I'd love to see more.
S-DM- G -- I am in CANADA - We get Feet of snow - Inches of rain - and we just move it. Almost a 1 km driveway here at Central! I wish you your crew health and wellness. Cheers!
You ALL are an inspiration! Thank YOU ALL
Like how Alex is go big or go home on the number of bolts for the install.
Great plowing action, Stan. Talking is good especially if you are explaining what we are seeing. I actually don't mind it. Stay safe and warm up there!
Good to know thanks bud 👊
@@Dirtmonkey you're welcome!

I like some talk! I like the music too. I like that it's family friendly.
Ha. I had enough snow in 14 years of living in Vermont to last a lifetime. Moved there from New Jersey and loved snow when I moved. Nope, I’m done. We had a heavy frost here in N. Florida this morning but it got up to 60 this afternoon. Back to shorts on Sunday. 😊
Soak up some sun for me 🥶
Here in Indianapolis about 5 inches of wet snow
Did not start to accumulate about 9 am Wednesday by the of the day your pushing soup
What fun!
Yeah that rain on top of snow is very common here in coastal Maine. As you said it goes from fun to something else fast.
We had a nice snowfall recently, which in less than 15 minutes of rain, turned to a nightmare.
Luckily I had swapped from a Wideout style, to the Fisher Xv2 for the battle ❄️
Ice is the worst. Sounds like you were set though
I have a Eden bass cab. Named after Eden Prairie. The Town the company was formed in. Awesome videos. I have to say. I’m not a fan of shoveling and snow blowing. U.P. Michigan Winters kinda suck. But we deal with it. It beats the heat in the south any day.
really enjoyed this.
talking or not talking is both fine imo. a mix of both.
Sitting in California with a T-shirt on and shorts. I lived in the Midwest when I was a kid never will I Live like that again. You should see if you could get a contract with the cities for big trucks.
I definitely like the conversations you have with us while you’re plowing. The music, not so much. I was in the landscape/snowplow business for 23 years, keep up the great work,
Noted thanks for letting me know 👌
Love this content
Ford is that what I'm seeing, no plow yet
Good working crew, sanit Paul my old neighbors live there,
TALKING
Stan you do what ever you want to do. I like the talk but its up to you.
Sounds like a plan man
Hey Stan, great channel, and I LOVE all the information you provide. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽 as far as talking, I love the commentary you provide. Y'all are a cleaner version of the Army lol. I know behind-the-scenes is a bit different but nonetheless, the comradery is definitely on point sir! If you ever find yourself on the way to the Upper Peninsula, drop a line.
This makes me realize how much snow we really get up here in the Colorado mountains. 170" so far this season with plenty more to come
In NYC no snow at all by the way only few times I used my heavy coat... Happy New Successful Year Stan!!!!!
Hard to imagine that!
I am in michigan waching this as its a white out snowing now, lol its amazing how you can go from green grass to 6inches + of snow in a little time.
Love the content I think it would be awesome to see you guys try out a metal plus snow plow
Noted 👍
Amen to "couldn't do it"!! Been in Hawaii almost 31 years, been building our homestead for the last ten so I can get back home to Alaska!!!!! Miss snows and storms badly!!!!
Both ways Stan! you make some good video's both ways!
I miss snow like that. I don't remember the last good storm we had here in Pennsylvania.
Nice. Music was great!
I'm a hour north of Niagara Falls in Ontario. We are yet to have a good storm been out twice both were 2 maybe 3 inches. Keep up the great work been watching for years now
Sometimes you not talking... is good. However, I want to hear more of the noise of the machine :) -- Makes me feel like I am in it haha.
watching these plow videos make me miss plowing and i miss the money
I leave the bumper off my truck as well. Makes it that much easier to power wash the front end components after a storm. Reduces weight too.
More Snow!!! We love it
I am 66 years old and as a kid I used to watch the guy come plow our neighbors across the street with his Jeep Wrangler ( I think that’s what they called them then) I still enjoy watching although that was in upstate NY just above Albany. I’ve lived in Salem Oregon now since 1975 in the Willamette Valley. The planets need to be in alignment to get snow here. I miss it
We had some stuff put in our 2wd tractor rear tires... I recall it being extremely expensive. But it wasn't beet juice lol. I remember them saying it was kinda like antifreeze.
I have lived here in Phoenix my whole life. It’s crazy to see the great lengths you go through to clear snow. I just get a frosty windshield 8 times a year.
The one thing I have found out in my years of snow plowing is that the more people and equipment in a lot the less efficient you are. You always have someone who leaves snow piles for the next guy to pick up with bigger equipment and someone will get stuck in the snow pile. One thing I would do is follow the trucks to the loading docks find out the dock they were going to plow it out and around it and get the hell out of the area. My job was to keep the trucks moving at the factory in and out. There was a public street not part of the plow contract I would plow it anyway free of charge to keep the factory open. The detention down time was $15,000 dollars a minute if you shut down production at the GM factory. It was a supplier for GM factory. Sometime more is not better.
Good stuff ( from Canada )
Awesome snow talk but i think they are going to have to come out with a heavier bracket for those 14 ft sno power plows
If that happened in Acadia Parish down here in south Louisiana we’d be shut down faster than you can say pandemic. Anyhow it’s really good to see an employer that actually cares about his employees. Guys don’t stay at their company if they ain’t treated right and you have guys that have been with you for years, tells me a lot about you as a man.
Enjoyed the video format and music .. also like when you explain your methodology for whatever you're working on .. I'll never have experience at clearing and landscaping and enjoy watching pro's get it done . Make sure to get enough sleep and food .. those long shifts are difficult to keep focus and be alert .
Interesting watching you guys plow snow over here in Finland we do it way differently.
Hey Stan! New follower from VICTORY’S channel. Love your content. Used to plow myself, tough gig bud! Cheers 🇨🇦
Send some of that to Virginia. I love SNOW.
