Hey Jim, Oh yes… He would stay out and play in the snow all day if i let him.. First thing he does when i let him out is sticks his head in the snow and rolls.. making Dog angels in the snow. LOL Take Care buddy.. ❄️❄️
I live in Lower North Central Peninsula of Michigan... lots of light snow. I blow the porches off with my Stihl leaf blower every two-three inches... saves my back, I'm 74 yo and got heart troubles... Nice Snowblower outfit... Suggest you get a cab..
Hey Captain Seamus, Thanks for stopping by to check out the video. It's appreciated. Good idea !! I can see where using a leaf blower would definitely make it alot easier over shoveling.👍🏼 I have my eye on a Mauser Cab, maybe one day. The Mauser cab has full glass all around and heat and they're one of the nicest ones made for the 1025r's Take Care
Hey J, Welcome back buddy. Yeah it’s been dumping the white gold daily the last 3 days.. I’m lovin it. Picked up another 4-5” last night.. I’ll call my dealer this morning to find out the possible bad news that my T-cat got pushed out till mid Feb. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 THINK MORE SNOW ❄️❄️
Exactly the set-up I am saving for except I plan to have a cab. Seems like everytime I have to blow snow w/ my walk behind Ariens there is a west or north wind blowing it all back on me which is why I have a cab on it.
@@GDyer-cl8fl Hey G, Thanks for stopping by the channel. Yeah I hate when the snow blows back onto you..🥴 What type of walk behind do you have currently? Take Care. ❄️❄️
@@GDyer-cl8fl Thats what I had before I got the 1025r was a Ariens walk behind with a snowcab. I think it was a 13hp 30 or 32” it even had heated hand grips..
I totally understand snostm.. Dogs are the best.. Riley makes me laugh all the time.. He’s such a silly nut. He’s one of the reasons I retired early. I wanted to spend more time with him.. They never live long enough and I wanted to have as many days with him as i could. 😉❤️🐶 Take care buddy.
Ohhh yes… The snow is finally here. To bad my new sled wont be.. 😔 Just got the news I wont see it till first week in March. So it looks like I’ll be riding ole 900t faithful till then. Which is fine. 🤙🏼 Think Snow Mike !! ❄️❄️
That snowblower attachment is sweet 👍 My terrain in the Catskills isn't that nice and flat😆I had to make a Set of ice biter chains for the rear Tires off one if my old Chevy plow trucks! If I was on a smooth surface it's like riding in square wheels, but the traction is amazing 👍👍 Heading up to old forge in a little bit you guys have a great trip as well 👍
Yeah I imagine that out your way the terrain isn’t flat and smooth and you’d definitely need something for extra traction. Have fun up in Old Forge. I’ll have lots of footage when I get back 🤙🏼 Be Safe buddy.. ❄️❄️
Hey Yurapit88, Thanks for stopping by the channel to check out some videos. Oh Yes.. Riley definitely loves the snow.. Snow and Swimming are his passions. 😂 Take Care
I wish the snow he got was that light Did 9 inches and 16 inch drifts of heavy wet snow on black top It did well Just could not throw it far enough. Next time I will work from the middle out the tractor is like a bull dozer with the blower on it and the Atv ice screws and 500 pounds on the back made it push like a D 8 dozer your video was great to compare performance I enjoyed it
Thanks Frank.. I’m glad you like the videos. Yeah I’m pretty pleased with the little 1025r.. It definitely likes to work for the size it is. I’m glad I have it.. Makes quick work of the driveway. I use to have a Ariens walk behind and boy did I work up a sweat blowing the driveway once the driveway got packed down. Take Care ❄️❄️
Great...enjoyed watching that...Nothing wrong with that setup...Moved a lot of heavy snow ...fast...Perfect size for what you are doing...If you plowed out...you would have a mess of snow everywhere...and start running out of space quickly with the amount of snow you can get there...with your blower...it just disappears...I was thinking about having to use a shovel as kids...would take half a day to clear half as much snow as you just did...but it was fun...did you grow up in that area?
Hey Sean, Yes.. grew up out in the country not far from here. When I was young I remember having to shovel “ALOT” of snow. I can remember there being 4 to 5 foot snowbanks at the end of the driveway from the plo, and it was hard packed. Took me hours just to shovel that part. Then when I got in my teens my granddad taught me how to use his John Deere 140 garden tractor with a single stage snowblower on it and that was a Godsend.. No more shoveling. 😁
Hahahahaha.. Thats a great idea.. I have a GoPro dog back mount for Riley.. I should throw it on him next time. 👍🏼 He’ll be all over the place. 😁 Take Care will f . ❄️❄️
@@SometimeIsNow hope you have a little windshield wiper for that gopro. I could see it going completely white with the first shovel full he tries to eat! That guy is a Wildman!
Have a Craftsman T240 Turn Tight tractor 5" turning ability Kohler 7000 series 22 horsepower 725cc V Twin engine..46" Snow blade it's fantastic..dry weight on my tractor is 630 pounds..
😂 He’d love that.. knowing him though he’d think its funny chasing me with the tractor.. will f had a great idea of putting a camera on Riley.. I have a GoPro dog mount I should put on him next time. 🤙🏼 Take Care buddy..
Not everyone gets the shovel out before the tractor. You do good work young man. I really enjoyed watching your dog. Not his first day on the job, is it?
Hello a simple horseman, Thank you for stopping by the channel to check out my videos. It’s greatly appreciated. Oh yes..😁 Riley has been doing this since he was a small puppy.. He’ll walk back and forth with me on each pass of the snowblower, waiting for that perfect opportunity to grab some snow. 😂 If I don’t take him out with me when I’m shoveling or blowing snow he’ll drive my wife nuts whining and running to each window wanting to go out with me.. Take Care 👍🏼❄️❄️
I stay in the back woods of rocky N.W. Arkansas have had 2 deep 8 inch snows live @ 1/4 mile from the highway have a JD 1025 used the front end loader with a 1" front rack built out of RR spikes run like a dozer the rack leaves an in print how deep I'm going so I don't hit a rock
Looks like a great snow removal rig! Been trying to convince my dad to upgrade to something like this…. In the Lake Superior snow belt also with a lot of big snows. Have you done any comparisons between the Deere compared to similar from Kubota and Bobcat on their compact tractors? Have you been happy with the size of yours or ever wish for bigger for snow removal? Thanks in advance.
Hey Hound Stuff, Before this 1025r, I owned a new JD 2520 which is a larger framed 25hp tractor with the same 54" snowblower but with more lifting capacity. The 2520 lifted more with the bucket but it also took up a lot more room in my garage and that is why I sold it and downsized to the 1025r. As far as Kubota or Bobcat, you'll find a lot of opinions on what's the best depending on who you talk to.. Since I've been doing RUclips one thing i have noticed is tractor guys are some of the most opinionated people around when it comes to brand loyalty, Aside from snowmobilers !!. 😀 I chose John Deere because I was raised on them. My Grandad owned them as far back as 1968 and when I was old enough I wanted to own one. IMO...John Deere has one of the best "Ease of attachment installation and removal" Compared to some other brands. But Like I said, It's just my opinion. The 1025r has been a great little tractor for me with zero issues and that right there is worth everything to me. Take Care and thanks for stopping to ccheck out the videos 👍
@@SometimeIsNow Awesome, thanks! I appreciate the insight. I hear ya on both counts of tractors and snowmobiles. My grandparents on both sides of the family are/were small family farmers but both mostly had JDs with the occasional old Case or Farmall. Sleds are a different story with the classic Polaris/Arctic Cat split and a few Yamaha’s in more recent years. The debates can be fun when they stay friendly but they sure go sideways easily on these topics!
@@HoundStuff Hahahaha Oh I heat ya.. Jokin is one thing but some can get sideways real quick.. One in awhile I have guys that like to tell me how I should clear my driveway. One even said they had been snowblowing longer in his life, so he knew more about snow removal than I did.. 😂🤣

In the spring before you take off the blower you should feed the blower tennis balls for your buddy.
Hey No worries, 😂 Thanks for stopping by the channel. Thats a great idea.. I do have a case of tennis balls.. 👍🏼 Riley would love that… Take Care
Now for your next trick, teach Riley to run the tractor and he can blow the snow for you
