Thank you sir! Your comment really touched my heart. I'm glad you like them as I share my tractor seat virtually with others. Who would think that people find this interesting! May God Bless you and your family!

Wow 45 years!! Thank you for your service to your country. I know thats usually reserved for military members but people like you make America the great country it is. Weather you are keeping the roads clear for the trucks that transport food and merchandise or driving those said trucks without you America would collapse so thank you for 45 years of your life in service to your country and fellow Americans!

Same thing I was thinking. I am also OCD. I would have removed all the snow off your vehicle to reduce weight. I agree with the person that said to plow drifts in opposite direction so winds won’t cause increased height if your drifts!! Is that ALL YOUR LAND??? It is gorgeous!!! Looks like you live in Gods Country!!! It takes a lot of machinery to take care of a spread that big!!!

Fully understand. It's a good blade however sometimes I need to push going down hill to the left with the bulk of the snow. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you too

Thank you very much!

I've been very blessed to find this machine and it works very well. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your memories. What I find amazing is that it changes all the time. God's handiwork produces some amazing views and some wildlife along the way.

Glad you enjoyed it!

welcome and thanks for the comment. Open cab is another whole level! that's dedication for sure!

Thanks 👍

Alan, I really like this idea! Do you roll a belt around a loop and bolt it back to the blade? Do you have any pictures as this is a good idea. thanks so much!

@@almosthomeranch8447 The application really depends on what width and thickness of belting you can locate. Typically, it runs about 3/8” to 3/4” thick and can be a myriad of widths. Let’s say you found some 3/8” thick x 24” wide. That would likely be pretty flexible and you might not be able to extend it very far. Let’s say your plow blade arc measures 40” from the top of the cutting edge to the top edge under your rubber flap. You would want to cut a 40” x 24” piece and lay it in against the end of the blade, with the 40” length running vertically. Try clamping it down temporarily with a couple large welding type clamps near the top and bottom. Then experiment with how much you have extended out beyond the end of the blade and still have it quite stiff. Remember, the snow exerts a lot of pressure, so the thicker and stiffer the belting, the better (to a point that is). We found it’s best to use a piece 3/16” or 1/4” steel strapping, hammered to match the blade arc to bolt thru on top of the belting to help prevent tear-out. Keep your bolts fairly close together (like 6”), but that spacing will depend on the belting’s thickness. Also, you don’t want to bolt very far away from the inboard edge of the belting to prevent snow from wedging underneath. Sorry, I sold my plow so no pictures. Hope this helps!

I just thought of another pretty important tip, be sure to bevel the inboard edge of the belting to help snow slip up and over the belt’s thickness. If the belting does not have steel reinforcing in it, you can bevel that edge with a circular saw. Cheers!

A few more very heavy snowfalls and high winds filling in the roadway and even that machine won't be able to clear the road. with the blade. Only a snowblower can move the material far enough away that the machine is not working against itself.

I've got another video in the sun that you would love. It premieres tonight at 7pm. stay tuned!

Yeah, that would be nice to find that type of blade. Appreciate the comment.

thank you kindly!

it is fun usually for the first couple of hours then it's a job. :) but I enjoy it

Greetings and how's the winter been in Sweden this year? I've always wanted to see that countryside.

That's a good suggestion and if anyone comes across one setting in a field I'l love to know about. Or, of course if someone would like to donate one that would be even better! thanks for the comment!

Thanks!

thanks for the note. Very little traffic up here (especially when the road get's snow shut). Very peaceful sometimes in the solitude. :)

Some good comments and here's a shout out to another ND neighbor. You know how hard those drifts can be back there. I remember going snowmobiling in the ditches thinking it would be soft but it would be like concrete. What memories!

I was about to say the same thing lol

That's what I think. Plowing up ridges will leave you with a potential disaster. as it will drift in worse than ever!

I don't take your words lightly and I fully understand what you are saying. Things happen and I hope/pray that things go well each time I go out. I don't take risks when I'm plowing. sure appreciate your comment sir!

too funny... I didn't think my cap was that clean. Now I need to clean it!

Yeah, I'm sure they had very heavy chains. It really saps the power though. When I have them off in the summer it's like I'm free!

Glad you enjoyed it

I was reading all the comments to see if someone was thinking this as well. Definitely at the top of the ridge it needs to go to the opposite side. Looks like fun time though thanks

Never push snow into the wind

I plowed roads for over 20 years.....he also should be driving a little faster to throw the snow off the road further

Yup sure is lmao

The man who showed me always said dirt up hill snow down hill that way it will dry faster and not spend weeks melting over the ditch
