      i hear ya, I'm in the snow removal business myself here in Michigan, its nice to watch these kinds of videos instead of having to go out and do it myself. Were suppose to get about 5-6" here Thursday night-Friday Afternoon! Been a pretty slow winter for us here in Michigan.

    Good job Griff. Your skill with the machine is noticeable to professionals like me who have been operating heavy equipment for over 30 years. Don't worry about the comments about using a blower. Plow first if needed and you have the space to do so, then clean up with the blower if it saves time and money.

      My favorite snow pusher of all times. I grew up watching Cat brand loaders. I saw the quietest Volvo loader in my life experiences. 😮😮😮😮 It had a fork lift detachment. It created no exhaust & smell! 😮😮😮😮 But. I ❤️ the Cat products. I loved my Tonka loader as a child. It looked like the Cat product too. I'm not liking the smaller sized loaders. They slip too easily. Great video. Good luck w/ your Cat loader/ plow. 😊😉👍❤️💜🙏

    I run loaders, excavators, backhoes and pretty much all other heavy equipment in the Union. Never done snow plowing though. Looks pretty cool, but also pretty tedious with all of the driveways. Obviously you know your area, as to not hit anything buried in the snow! I go to Tahoe often to snowboard. Definitely interested in snowplowing in the winters since dirt work is very slow here on the Central Coast/South Bay. Cool videos, keep em coming!

    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..
