Can the "Sledge" Mini Loader out plow 2 tractors, a skid and a Truck?
Ойын-сауық
We decided to have a head to head heavy equipment snowplow contest when Lucas from Arctic Pushers made a bold claim- He said he could out plow 2 tractors, a Pickup truck & skid steer combined by himself in my compact wheel loader with just a 15'6" sectional pusher. So I made him put up or shut up. Who will win?

This is equipment level porn.... That curb shot back drag was AWESOME!
I'm really loving these plowing videos. I've plowed a few seasons in my life and its become part of me i swear. Any time i watch someone plow I'm a critic. Keep up the great videos! Love from NW Ohio!

Thank you Austin ! Appreciate you watching !
Hats off to Lucas,he wins hands down!
In my opinion, Lucas won. The four machines finished first, however, Lucas hung with them and was basically done as well. So to me, they didn’t overlap his progress enough to justify the win. That pusher is worth every penny.
Lucas’s lot looked way cleaner at the end, so clean! I run a 908 cat with a Kage system, but I wouldn’t mind one of those. Very cool
I’d lose my mind plowing with all those machine in such a small parking lot nothing sucks more than playing dodgeball while your trying to work

I LOVE this it keeps the job fun and everyone full of energy .... snow removal can get so mundane for the crews, it also shows the company who can operate in a crew, lead and the learning curve of the workers.

That Arctic Sectional Lucas is running is sweet! Never seen anything like it before, pretty cool. Of course, don't plow anymore as moved to FL. Wish I had that though when I did plow, would have been awesome.... Thanks for these kinds of "in your face", "hands on" type videos. It's one thing to see a plow, vehicle, tool etc...in shop/store, but completely different actually seeing it in action & getting feedback👍🏻 Cheers, A
Good vid Stanley. We’ve done the same “speed and quality” competition in my line of work. Found out all my coworkers can perform their tasks 3 times as quickly without hurting themselves or damaging equipment. Was a great way to build morale and lessen the gripe factor.

Northwest Pa has not got squat for snow this season. We maybe got 3 inches since Monday! A few saltings and that's it! From what I see here, when i can get one machine and one operator to do 90% the work done as 4 men and machines in the same time; that Arctic and small payloader is worth gold! Granted you have a good operator running it.
Lucas saved how many gallons of fuel and man hours?
I use a 14' Artic Sectional in front of a john deere 544k for Valparaiso Community Schools. We are located in Northwest Indiana. I am very pleased with the way they clean. And even with a large loader when the box bites in it grabs and slows down the push
4 men and 4 machines doing 10% more than 1 man and 1 machine in the same time. If my math is correct that’s almost 400% more efficient so who actually won?

Stan won? Stan was the one that paid 4 wages, equipment costs and the many other hidden costs behind paying each guy per hour. His guys are efficient yes, but man power can only do so much over a bigger and better tool. Can I spread a 22 tonnes of dirt by hand? Yes of course I can, or I can use a machine and do it much faster

How did stan win? I'm completely confused? Yes his guys were faster and he certainly won the bet, but the point is long term efficiency here and overall cost. One guy did just as much as four did in just a slightly longer amount of time
I'm not going to get into the snowplowing game until charging by the inch becomes the norm again! HAHA
thats really slick! bet you guys are absolutely loving all this snow so far this month here! as a body tech i pray for this kinda winter every year to keep the shop full. guess we just had to wait till the end of winter for all the work. can't wait to see what sorta heavy wet nasty snow march will bring
too funny. I worked for Lucas's mom and pops when he was in his baby chair. Cool to see him taking the helm.

Nothing better than the AS. Been running a 18 footer on the property a couple years now and could not be happier. They are also easier on the pavement when it becomes a little uneven
Used a 15’ Arctic for a few yrs and loved it. #1 push box choice. Used to do Walmart’s with it. I had a 966 cat loader and with weight it didn’t slow down on ice. The tiltable moboard made it great for scraping snow pack because you could tilt it and get a more aggressive scrape when needed. First year with it cut my time down 40-60% compared to other pushers I used. Means more time for more contracts.
I hauled a few of those sectional pushers when I was trucking, they were really impressive and I always wanted to play with one!
we got arctic pushers at work, they are AWESOME. we have two front end loaders and a skid with arctic pushers. ive been impressed as hell with em
I love how engenius that "sledge" pusher is, with its sections and floater design, imagine how that'll do on slopes.... its just sooooo slick.... no wonder it can do soooo much more then the rest.... though I don't think he planned on how good the rest of your equipment is.... like the back end plow on the truck...
Lucas won hands down, 90% done with one machine against four ? Not even close considering the fuel, wear and tear, man hours. Simple math, Lucas kicked your Ass !!

I don't think anyone was surprised as that was exactly his reasoning for buying the SDLG in the first place.
possibly the best sales ad ever, now you have me looking at these instead of a metal pless
Would love to see an aerial video of ALL your vehicles used for plowing snow; do a synchronized "dance" to music while plowing at night.....think would be just great, & show off how awesome your guys are at maneuvering the machines👍🏻

That piece is so effective it almost, I say almost makes me want to go back North to get in the snow plow business again. My last unit was a 72 power wagon with a seven and a half foot power angle Meyers plow on it that I modified. Before that it was a 69 Scout with a six and a half foot modified Power angle Myers. Most of my work was residential with a few Light commercial in central New York state.
WOW! Bunch of Great Sports and that Arctic is a bad machine! Nice video and thank you Stan! Sonny (CT)

We’ve been running nothing but Arctic pushers for years and once you get really good at them, nothing touches them. You can backdrag and swipe curbs wicked fast
Jesus, how much cheaper is 1 loader vs 4 pieces of equipment? Man-hours, maintenance, fuel, insurance, wear items, plus an increased chance of collision (with 4 vehicles). I mean PUH-LEEZE the profits will go thru the roof!

I was just about to say can't wait to see the next video from todays snow.. got 9 inches in the metro and plowing is about to be fun tonight lol
Didn’t you test an artic pusher on a Case skid a while back?
I will say the Arctic pushers are really nice to use. I run a Bobcat with a 10' pusher. It does well even with wet heavy stuff.
The group of four had a huge advantage for the curbs if you know how to operate a back blade. Especially the expanding style.like you have. Leave the wing that is on the curb side folded in and extend the other the drive down the curb.
Even though it's 82 here in Cabo, I kinda wish I could be there to have all that fun in the snow. Enjoy your vids.
It's a bosses dream when the employees are racing to make you more money haha
I feel like anyone who didnt snowplow all night till day light with whoever wouldn’t understand why this is the best plow video ever

I've never seen anything like that before. That snow pusher is a thing of the future. Poor Lucas though. His claim seemed very promising and in my opinion, he really won that contest because he did all the work of the other four in just about the same time. Not to mention that he used less fuel than four other pieces of equipment. So I say Lucas, overall, won, hands down. Love your KZread videos and I learn new things all the time. Thanks a lot Stanley

Hi Stan! Just a quick heads up-I tried your dirtmonkey thermal link a few times and it did not appear to work.
We've had one of those at old work had one that was the size of L70 Volvo then half year later got the little one we call the SDLG shing long ding long lol suites it well and there alright the bigger one had regen issues though little one been decent but slow as can be compared to most loaders
The Arctic pusher is good, but I've got a couple years experience running a loader with a Metal Pless blade and It's quite a bit more efficient. Little bit more cost and learning curve but you've got so much more control. Nice comparison!

Sectionals are by far the best. I can plow a 5.5 acre gravel steel yard in a hour and a half. The sectionals are needed for gravel areas so they don’t dig in as hard
We have a arctic sectional plow and we love it
There are several tyre manufacturers, mostly European, that have special snow/all weather tyres for loaders - better tread design and rubber compound for winter conditions - might be worth checking them out and seeing if you can have them fitted to new equipment, if found suitable? Easy to say, looking from overhead and as an observer, but several times Lucas left snow that needed later cleaning up when a little diversion would have done it at the time?
Curious on how you are liking the new rams keep us updated
Can't believe you don't edge those Backhoes together on the long runs.

I ride a John Deere 6250R, with extendable push plows, the front one is 8 to 16 feet, and the back one is 6 to 12, it hauls snow like crazy, we clean an airport parking's and some tarmacs with them...awesome! Their only problems they have standard tractor tires, so they slip on icy surfaces....
Lol came down from Chicago. And your in Michigan... so he can UP!
I love your videos. I watch all the time. But the caption says "2 tractors, a truck and skid steer" the picture shows "2 TRUCKS, tractor, and skid steer. Just pointing that out. Lol but the video really is 2 tractors, skid steer and a truck. Lol
Stan doesn't that Volvo skid loader have a telescopic boom why not use that to push the snow piles higher
i might be nieve... but is that snow considered haz waste? just curious. In my shop i cant scrub the floors because of the possibility of HAZARD waste from cars.
