Enjoyed the vid. Have to say, I envy you folks up north who get to push some snow. We got none this winter. In spite of that old cliche that says, "Be careful what you ask for," I ask for snow --- and more snow -- every winter, but statistics, location, and more recently climate change seem to conspire to work against us as snowplow operators located in Central Arkansas, USA. And every year I wait for and look forward to winter to see if the white stuff will fall in our area. Sometimes it does, and then we get the crew out and enjoy our work. Keep up the good work!

Nice job. I will have to show our Municipal grader operator this video. See what happens when you put the blade down. Snow moves . Bloody amazing eh. Thank you for the video update eh.

Hi Tyson, I would guess that a Bobcat in the snow is the equipment that's the most fun for you. Clearly, you're enjoying yourself under that beautiful blue sky and the snow just the right condition to be blown easily. You're skilled so I know you've done a lot of snowplowing. Thanks and best wishes. - Dean from Minnasnowa

Your welcome

awesome snowplowing video. Stay safe

The Skid Steer did a nice job. I have a Myers plow for my Jeep, but I certainly don't move the snow that you move because I'm in North East PA. Was a good video, but I miss seeing Suki and Marley... Always good to see you Tyson and thumbs up on your video.... We have yet to get a snow storm here in North East PA. and I hope as always it's a mild winter. Take care....

Thanks for sharing Tyson Hope all is well👍

That's the exact setup I wish I had but side by side with blade works good enough

S650 does a fine job pushing snow.

It's no D8, that's for sure. I suspect it beats the fuel efficiency of the 8 by quite a bit. That's a very handy attachment to have. About four weeks ago, when I traveled up to Lake of the Woods, my cousin had to use his Bobcat to clean my parents' driveway since my dad was fishing with me. They got about 8 inches of snow, but places further north in Minnesota had a couple feet of it. It was bad enough in spots that they were windrowing it into the middle of the streets and then loading it out with an industrial snowblower and dump trucks. The snowbanks must have been seven feet high.

I like that little plow. Seems better than using a loader bucket

Slick little snowplow

Chains on your skid steer, good idea. I’ve been wanting to do that. I see you have good traction. Have you ever thought about over the tire tracks. I need traction in the spring for cleaning barns during calving.

Love your channel. Just curious, why don’t you put plows on your pickups? I live in Wisconsin, and it is very common here.

That little thing can move some snow

Any issues with traction? Looks like it does a good job pushing snow on the gravel!

How is that skidder for starting in the cold? It’s such a small compact unit you could almost park it in your living room but it must have a block heater in it?
