- What a day...we were not ready for this. We didn't even have a plow on our machine. I had to walk up the driveway, find a plow, try not to get stuck, and then plow the driveway. I also took quite the fall...

This video is a perfect example of why you should have all your equipment in a storage shed and not outside covered in snow.
Should have used snowblower to get rid that much snow
@@kevincole3352 $80K spent on that glorified side by side could have bought a high end blower and still have $60K leftover.
A little WD 40 or some power blaster on that blade will keep the snow from sticking and help it slide off better.
Two tool cats!
Two snow blowers!
And a plow
Yet you find yourself not ready for a late January first snow!
I dont know why people plow snow to the upper side of the driveway. Push it over the edge on the downhill side. I guess you have time to spend moving snow when your driveway gets narrow.
Great idea on the cart going down the driveway!
🤣🤣
Screw plowing if you have a blower, twice as efficient and faster.
And half as entertaining
Blower would have done a better job and less of a chance of getting stuck.
Bobcat did well, Good job
Snowblower much better then plow!😮
it's easy to pass Judgment when you're not there doing the job like the content.
Great video Bran! Thanks for taking care of the driveway while we were away!!
Try using a bar of paraffin that they use for canning on the plow surface before it gets wet or snow on it. The paraffin is basically wax and the plow will shed the snow and the snow won't stick to it as bad. It only takes 5 minutes to rub the paraffin on the plow and it will work better and save you a lot of work and frustration.
Take a hike!😊
Where in New York received that snow fall? Great video!🇺🇸
The right tool for that job would have been the snowblower imo.
That's why u should use the blower there big guy plow not working with all that snow
That's weird, I coulda sworn I got the driveway cleared 🤔
It took a lot longer. Plus your driveway is narrower. @@StollNCrew
Before plowing, you should spray the blade with WD-40 so that the snow slide off. It really helps.
I'll have to try that sometime!
Cross country ski wax will last longer.
That bobcat seems to handle the snow just fine great job
Yeah it does. With the snow tires on its even better.
Been watching your videos for a bit and when this one came out I was like, “I know those driveway pillars.” Live just up the road from you by the airport. That Bobcat did a nice job.
Haha small world! Let's keep it a secret please lol
I hear ya! Will do.
dam thats more snow than u got all last year lol
For real lol we gotta be way past last year's #s
The blower would have been the way to go. Leaving high banks will cause drifting and the next time you won't have anywhere to push the snow.
I'm likely wrong but this seems like one of those minimum effort and expecting maximum gain situations.
The snow melts here in 2 days. No need to worry about high banks when there's no more snow on the radar.
WOW, if you did it right the first time you wouldn't have to keep going over it and over.
If you built a v wedge out of 2/4 and 3/4 plywood you can leave on forks yo plow
Can you explain why you went with a plow over a snow blower?
If I had a blower I would use it. I think he didn't feel like doing the extra work to install the blower.
Simply for content purposes. The snow blower is the same thing for however long it takes to clear the snow. With a plow you have multiple different scenarios to deal with such as will it push the snow, will the snow push the machine left and right, will it plow up hill, you have power angle to change the direction you push the snow. If I used the blower, all I can change is the direction it throws the snow. People would have watched for a minute and then either fast forwarded or closed the video. As a creator you have to put entertainment before functionality sometimes.
@thepubliceye see my response below, but also there's not really a lot of "extra work" to put a Snowblower vs plow. Literally just 2 hydraulic hoses. The machine does the rest itself lol don't even have to get out for anything else
Had you used the blower youd have been done in half the time.
And the video would have been half as entertaining, if that
If you would have used the airport blower. That snow would have been blower into next week. That what it looks like outside of my house.
Haha maybe I can send some more from here all the way to you
I don't think that it would reach my house. I have seen them work . They are quite a site to see when they are using them.
Just use the skid steer next time lol
If it wasn't parked outside and covered in snow I definitely would have
I drove one with a 8ft diamond blade it was easier than using a one ton
Poor planning
You need a v plow for that thing it does good but a v would be nice they are a bit pricey but you only live once lol
👍👍
If you spray wd40 on blade no build up my grand pa trick
Can you say skid steer with tracks?
If it wasn't parked outside and freezing cold I would have used it
you need to just buy a plow truck and get ride of the tonka
Tell me you didn't check out my channel without telling me you didn't check out my channel
That was painful to watch!
May I suggest a snow blower ?
I guess you folks don’t have forecasts to warn you these weather conditions days in advance that are coming. If so you should have been a lot better prepared.
I guess you've never seen any of my other videos and made this comment without knowing what you're talking about lol
@@StollNCrewI’ve never seen any of your other videos, but the original comment above is pretty valid and how we operate our landscape business with preparedness in mind. With 8 plow trucks, 2 toolcats and 3 Volvo loaders. It’d be a great waste of time to have to put the plows, snow blowers or hydraulic brooms on the toolcats before we actually get plowing snow. Don’t worry about your sarcastic reply, this is the last video I’ll be watching of yours. You have a weird way of trying to gain a following and views by talking shit to your viewers. Lol
@Maddog165 that's fine if you don't want to watch any of my other videos. But I will clarify this for you. This video has nothing to do with our company. This is our personal yard. Plowing this driveway makes us no money. We actually lost money from doing this. I made this video simply to see how the toolcat would handle the snow. We have over 20 plow trucks and over 10 wheel loaders for our snow removal company. Those are what make us money. We do not use the toolcats to make us money plowing snow. That's why they are parked at our yard and not at any of our sites. Obviously the toolcats were not set up for the snow. But if you even clicked onto my page you would see that we are more than prepared to plow snow. My response to the above comment may have been a bit sarcastic but it takes less time to click on to my page and see whats going on than it does to type out a negative comment on here. People on the internet seem to think they know everything based off one video. The video posted literally the day before this one shows the type of work we do. We do not do driveways or anything small like that. We do roadways. We are more prepared for snow than anyone has to be. We have entire towns relying on us. Not one person trying to get out of their driveway. The algorithm ran with this video and a lot of people saw it who think this is the type of work we do when it is very far from what we actually do.
dont you just love the key board plow drivers. Always have a better way of doing what you are doing. If they gonna be dicks,,,, who needs them to watch. @@StollNCrew
@miked19831988 hahaha they're the best! My favorite part is how they're allowed to leave sarcastic comments on MY channel, but when I reply with sarcasm it becomes an issue lol
Aplus x100
Always push downhill 23:12
Those things are totaly useless here in north western ont. You go no were in snow with them even all 4 wheels chained up. They dont have the weight. With regular weekly storm of 6" to 6" 25 to 45 below high winds snow drifts 3 to 7' are rock hard. A 4x4 3/4 ton a huge struggle. Sure maybe a tiny city driveway maybe ok. But even there good luck with the 3 foot high road grader banks an side walk plow banks 3 in a row. These tool cats are just a spruced up UTV. be like trying to pull a full size car out of a 4' deep drifted in ditch with a 1/4 ton 4x4 ford ranger or similer brand. Snow pack on a drive way all winter turns to ice and stay until late April eary may. Also you would never get away having a driveway that norrow here. But mid January you would have no driveway even my 32' wide drive way can be a problem. Have to push the banks down into the ditch at least 2 times every winter. If you dont start the winter off pushing the snow as far back as posable you end up screwed. My 9' wide snow blade rolls the snow over great. The faster you go with blade Fully angled the farther it throws it
slovakia oke jes.
snowblower would been better
😂
you need a blower for the machine they do a better job and it gets rid of the snow one trip and its gone
Did you even watch the video? There's literally 2 blowers in it. Blowers are half as entertaining though. You would watch 30 seconds of the video and get sick of the constant humming from it and click out of the video.
Do it yourself luge
Might have to open up a business for it
Rookie mistake not having equipment ready, learn from it for next time. Live in an area that gets snow, be prepared for it, even if you never use it, at least you have something that is ready to jump in and move snow.
Check out my channel. We have a lot of more important equipment to be getting ready. There's only so much time in the day. Very far from a rookie. I've personally been doing snow removal for over 10 years. Things that make us money come before things that don't.
Oh I agree there, but still its better to be ready for it. Where I am at just got 60 inches of snow this week. I fully understand, what makes money takes the front burner over what doesnt @@StollNCrew
You should have used a bower attachment. When you said it doesn't want to plow up hill...... dude rewind your video it didn't want to plow down hill remember. As soon as you. Chipped the drive way you should have not even tried to used a plow. You didn't even clear the snow off everything before trying to connect the plow to the front of your vehicle.... how much stuff are you trying to break in one video?? It's like winter addition of whistling diesel
Not sure what a bower is. Maybe you mean blower? You clearly have no experience with plowing snow based off this comment. And you definitely don't know how the driveway was paved in piece's which left a lip there. Yes I did hit it, which I could have VERY EASILY edited out of the video. Things happen, and I am not afraid to show them. This machine was on summer tires in a foot of snow. If you think it was going to plow flawlessly then you should come and try it sometime. Also, WhistlinDiesel and me are nothing alike LOL, but ill take it as a compliment. Thanks for your view :)
@@StollNCrew oh my god I'm so sorry for misspelling one word... I don't proof read my comments usually. Thanks for calling me out on that, I'll try to do better in the future. And if you want a lesson in snow clearing let me know where you're at and when you get some more snow I'll gladly come out and show you how to do it right. And I've worked on paving for plenty long enough to know what a pavement seam is.
There's a lot more than one grammatical error in that comment buddy. Maybe you can also show me how to be an internet warrior just like you. You should make a channel as well and post all of these things that you're an expert in doing. Have a great night!@@hollywoodredneck8565
That's a real kick in the ass you have all that equipment there but nothing was ready for your own house , you did pretty good with the toolcat is that the machine you usually plow that driveway with ? Do you switch out tire on them for the winter ? I know you said it had turf on .
Yeah we have snow tires for it. They're sitting on a shelf in the garage LOL. But yeah it is what we usually use for the driveway. It works very well
To much talking!
Too*
Too much "advice" from the backseat drivers in You Tube Land. There's more than two ways to get a job done. RE: Blower vs. Plow - As a teenager I plowed snow in Ontario County NY with a Bolens garden tractor and plow. Never owned a blower [our town highway department didn't own a blower either - neither of us could afford one] and was only snowed in once, with two inches of glare ice under sixteen inches of snow. Now in my sixties I live in PA and have both plows and blowers. IMHO I still prefer plows because I've found blowers tend to break down at the most inopportune times. Haven't had a plow break yet.
@evanstauffer4470 haha everyone on the internet is a "professional". You seem to understand the business pretty well. Wish more people were like you lol
