Hi Sandy! Your commitment to quality content is something to behold.

On top of the Herculean task with the snow, you are also doing multiple camera angles and remaining cheerful in your commentary. Old son, you are showing us how! 🇨🇦 LIFE IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH 🇨🇦

Snow blowers are good for cleaning horse paddocks, too. Frozen horse apples fly good with a snow blower.

I also have a V plow for it.

My wife and I just took possession of her family's acreage in Maine. About 35 wooded acres for us to maintain. Currently I have an old Ford 2N, and intend to run that thing until it blows up. They are geared too fast for a snowblower, which is fine, because my neck hurts just watching you use this thing lol. I will be getting a back blade for snow plowing rather than waste money on another truck.

Hello again from Pennsylvania. Another fun filled video. That's the price you pay for having your own land. Some would say it was a lot of hard work. That, to me, would not seem like work. I would view it more as having fun in the snow. Especially when you have such a great tractor and snow blower to do "most" of the work for you. Can't wait to see how many big trees got pulled down by all the snow. That's the sad part in all of this. Heavy snow causes a lot of lost trees. But hopefully you will be able to use them for something after you mill them. It would be great to see you finally being able to ride your snowmobile after getting rid of all the deep snow. You should really make time for some "you" time, so you can at least have a little fun with all this snow. All work and no play. You know the rest. Well, thanks again for sharing. I was just wondering how many shear pins you had to replace while you were snow blowing the trail.

The one thing I wish for is a wiper blade on the back window. And, shear bolts, I keep wrenches and shear bolts in the cab! Last time it was the auger drive chain that gave up on me!

Just finished cleaning up my own snow mess! Now I'm working on clearing the roof of my house. I'm not big on working on the roof, but there's so much snow up there that my turbines are covered and I'm getting icicles and ice dams. It's supposed to get up to around 34 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow, so I'm hoping some of that ice will melt if I finish clearing all the snow. Just purchased a Wallenstein logging winch and I'm hoping to be able to pick it up next week. That will give me the ability to get logs out of the woods and to my driveway. (If I don't spend the rest of the winter plowing snow!) Got some dead oaks close to my house, so that winch will come in handy in guiding them down someplace more suitable than my roof.

I may have to check them out. Thanks Mark

Morning Sandy. Thanks for the videos. Lake effect snow can be brutal, just ask Buffalo. Being in the GTA (Toronto area) we only occasionally get a big snow.

Hey Clive! Yeah Buffalo sure knows about snow haha.

Well, like said last time, wowzer. I do like the snow blower. I have one that fit on my 4 wheeler 4' swath, it would have been no good at your place, but it works well for me so far. Your experience makes a person think, tho. 👍

Hey Del! Yeah those 4 wheeler blowers are great setups. Sure would be handy even here sometimes

The snow looked pretty heavy! I leave near Ottawa and although we received a lot a snow as well lately, it was only half what you've received. It's funny how snowfalls can greatly vary, even when we're pretty close!

I kept watching the news as well and wondering if everyone else was getting this big snow then realized that just a bit south or north quite a change. Hope all is well David. Thanks for watching

That was a Herculean Labor for sure! You got this phase done, I know you have a lot of trails to clear and groom for your snow machine.

Sure is keeping the tractor busy with all the trails and snow

I have the same tractor only 50hp. I use a front mounted snow blower from Sheyenne tooling in North Dakota, it allows me to use my front loader arms and the quick attach mount and then the swap back to a front bucket is a 3 minute job ! P.S. I love the tractor !

Amazing dear

Sandy, I can sympathize with you. My snow was as wet, or wetter than yours. When it comes out of the chute like a Slushy, with no powder whatsoever.... It's warm today... only rain. Stop... Listen... what's that sound? Ahhhh, it's a Bombay Sapphire, extra dry/dirty martini, shaken for 40 seconds and served in a frozen glass with three olives calling to me!! Catch you on the next one!!
