- My Kubota LX2610 compact tractor gets fired up for the first time this winter. January brings a little snow at last. Sun's out and it's frosty but we need to clear the icy snow before the next storm comes tonight. Let's roll!

Good morning G.P., it sure is nice to have friends especially friends with the same interests. That was great. Since my wife passed away in June I really on my church bros. and sisters and it’s been a blessing. Another blessing is the church is right across the road in walking distance. Great video G.P.
Good morning Ronald. I am so very sorry to hear about her. I am very grateful to have good friends, like you, to help and support you. Be well and I will keep you in my thoughts. :)
You two boys are never going to knock off the fun. Value the friendship it’s not forever. Be safe.
If he put a piece of rubber on the gap from the chute and the top part of the chute it would help keep the snow going where u want and not blow any back into the driveway but thats always nice when someone is willing to help doing the driveway with u
Thanks Guys.
Not much Snow here in Central Wis. maybe 3 to 4"
Mike M.
Good Work Gordon and Guy ( ty Ron
Good call selling the snowmobile this year !
Morning C2! Thanks Yup, Forecst for more positive temps all next week again here. I miss it though. Have a good one!
You are definitely getting better with the Kubota.
I like Guy's thinking, maybe the last. I can't believe I've plowed my driveway once this winter.
Guy's tractor has a few battle scars, adds character.
Well, if I can't play in the snow with my LX, at least I can do it vicariously through yours. And hey, that way I get a cab too!
Cheers, my friend. 👍
What fun with two tractors? We got 2 feet of snow in northern Michigan and it’s snowing again and expected another 9 inches of snow. I waited a couple of days for my half mile gravel driveway to freeze then I got the tractor blower out. Will get it out again after the next storm. Winter has finally arrived and I thought it was gonna be mild all year. Took my backcountry, cross-country skis out what fun and there’s even ice on Lake Michigan. How beautiful.
It is so nice in the winter - pretty views - alot of folks don't get to see. have a great weekend BR!
That was great buddy awesome video really enjoyed watching . we haven't had much snow here in this part off New Brunswick not even enough for snowshoeing . very nice of Guy to lend a helping hand I am sure there was coffee after take care Gord
Morning Tom! Thanks fro saying hi!
We got 5" of snow on the 14 and it is still here on the roads.mostly 3" of solid ice now. Today was 35° first day above freezing since snow and by midnight back downbelow freezing and tomorrow night low is 9° will not melt off till Monday or Tuesday of next week very unusual for North Alabama. We get a inch or two every year or so. .we got about 5 years worth this year. Don't you just love this global warming. God bless and work safely
Anthony
LOL! Have a great weekend and hope that ice melts off.
Kubota is getting a lot of good reviews
Brrrrrr...GP!🥶🥶
The cold winters of the North Country bring friends together. The Kabota tractors with their operators are having more fun in the snow than the skiers and sledders. Snow and hot chocolate afterwards.
Lots of hot choco Bay! :))
it’s just different. I love working with my Kubota but skiing in the woods is also great. The Kubota just doesn’t get any glide ( hopefully) especially in the woods.
Boys and their Toys! I can relate. Stay safe and healthy up there.
Nice work, Cheers! ✌
Only snow I have been blowing here in Cape Breton lowlands is with the backpack leaf blower😜 Chains on the front tractor wheels, blade on the front, no blower attached yet on the PTO. Not enough snow.
Morning and great to hear from you Sherpa. I hope you are enjoying life in the East. Hopefully some snow will come your way soon. Be well and all the best sir!
In So. Calif we are just hoping to get some measurable rain this weekend, storms just fade out when it reaches us.
OH but it is 71°f or 21.6 c
I enjoy your videos
Tottenham, my tractor is anxiously awaiting some snow...it is getting lonely
Seems like guy needs a cab!
I keep trying to convince him. He is so tall and big that he can barely squeeze into mine, so he would need a Grand L. He should have a little comfort. :)
What a wonderful sight to see from friends up North. Awesome team work Gord and Guy. Great seeing this after a long dry spell. Looking forward to more of your snow removal videos this winter. Stay safe up there and stay healthy. Fred.
GP I think you have more snow than we do. Such a weird winter, now -29 and staying there for a couple days. But -2 on Tuesday forecast 😮. Cheers stay warm. Mark and Mari
Morning mark! I saw that in the forecast - very strange winter weather again this year. Stay warm and safe!
Gee whiz GP a 2 for 1. Nothing like good friends! Have a great time guys.
A two-fer!
Guy’s cab not quite as tight as yours, but friends helping friends is always good.
Great video Gord. Nice seeing Guy! Take care!
Who needs a man cave when we have man tools and tots?!?! That’s teamwork!! I’m in N.H. and thankfully, we really haven’t got beaten up too badly. Some small ones…4 inches or so, one at about 6 inches but heavy and wet…then unseasonably warm and inches upon inches of rain…and our last one, 12 inches of fluffy light stuff. Not the winters of my yute!!😎🤣👊🏻
Agreed - mine either. Shocked that the first decent snowfall happens in January. Cheers!
Hello from snowy Nova Scotia
Hello! I saw you folks got a ton of snow. Have fun out there!
How's she goin'? Nice to see some snow even though it wasn't ideal. Nice plan to check the conditions for using the blade. How about that Guy, he drops by to help. That's a good neighbor for ya eh. Take 'er easy.
You too Grampie. Say hi to Nana!
10 - 4@@GPOutdoors
Nice to have some help
Looks like next week a thaw will take us back to starting over building the frozen base.
We finally received some “real” snow here (UP) too. Finally was able to use the blade and blower. The ground is all but froze now so the blading is getting easier. Thanks for the video
Have fun out there Dude!
Good morning GP, please try pvc pipe 11/2" cut the length of ur rear blade and saw the whole length. Then slide on ur rear blade. It will stay up on gravel and grass. And put it on u tube u got! Thanks have agood day!.
Finally some snow.
Thank you for making videos.
I’ve been waiting since November for some snowblower videos.
Thanks for watching - have a great weekend!
Well executed plan, Gord. Nice that Guy plowed up to your place in time for a "Double Double Cafe". Cheap labour is hard to find!! lol,
LOL! Have a nice weekend Barry!
Finally some snow! We also finally got some in NE minnesota. Nice to use the tractor for the first time in a few months. Nice blading.
Cheers Dan!
I’m starting to like the rear blade
Ahhh, the two grand Orange Knights in a snow Joust! 😂 Loved the video, guys!
Morning Dean!
You, Guy, and when Husky Bob is around make-up a good team. It's great to have neighbors who can work so well together.
I use a front hydraulic angle snow blade. Haven't even put it on yet. And don't get me started about snowmobile. Another sad winter
Yes - so disappointing again this winter. The gates are still locked on our trails here, as of last Friday. :( Hope you get some soon.
Nice video looks like fun having good equipment
Great video. I live just 12 miles south of the Mackinaw Bridge in Michigan and I've had to plow 3 wonderful times in the last week and a half. We currently have in excess of 2 feet of snow. It snowed so much that the roof of my 12 X 20 portable storage building collapsed just 12 hours before I was planning to remove the snow. It was brand new so now I know how much snow it can't handle. I only have a Kubota 1880 with a rear blade and a front loader and haven't had any problems other than I need a heated cab. At 71 I think I deserve a heated cab. I did attach a 5 foot section of black ABS pipe to the rear scraper blade. I had a 5 foot section of PVC pipe but it cracked half way through last winter. The ABS is much stronger. Hope you get your 2 feet of snow.
Good day - I agree - you do deserve a heated cab. Hope you get one before the next winter - it sure changes things alot. Have a nice weekend!
Cool video GP. Guy is a good neighbor.
Morning W55!
It looks like Guy's blower is a home made unit. It would be nice to have a video on it and how he made it.
Morning Dennis - that one was built by a local Ontario company - he has had it for almost 19 years now but he certainly does all the repairs himself. Cheers!
👍👍👍
Good morning Gord! You 2 make a good team. I need to find someone to pair up with 😂
Meanwhile in Wisconsin, 2ft of snow and -10°f.
Your rear "half-V-blade" would work better if it had the other half, haha plus when you back up, it automatically becomes a reverse v-scoop blade. V-Blades are the best and the faster you go the better they work😊 take care
I love it how you guys up there all work together
Only used my tractor once this season, so far. Thirty miles further north, another world!
GP love your videos and I’m a recent viewer. I am downsizing from a 40hp machine to a lx2610 mainly because you convinced me I could get along just fine without the extra hp and lift capacity. Firewood might take a little longer to move, and snow might be a little harder to push but adding the backhoe which I really need and sacrificing the cab and horsepower for the same money makes sense. Keep up the good work.
Good morning and good luck Tim! Hope it works out for you. Cheers!
Good day GP! That was very nice of Guy to stop by and help out. Awesome job on your new channel! Take care!
Thanks very much JO! I think I need to start doing your workouts / exercise. The tractor does my work now and my tummy is getting bigger. :)) Have a great weekend!
Good morning GP. About same here as far as snow. It’s sure is nice to have it frozen so blades work good without digging gravel. Unfortunately we’re looking like a warm up next week 😡. Sure wish it would stay frozen. Good seeing you and guy out in the snow 👍✊.
Cheers Bob! Shorts and a T shirt again. LOL!
Great video 💯. Send some snow down south! I'm in northern Wisconsin and maybe have 4in on the ground. I just got a used x350 and a blower I'm dying to test out.
Yesterday was my second time with my JD blower of this winter, first time blowing just snow without gravel mixed in. It was fun.
I like leaving that bit of snow behind after clearing with blower only, it helps maintain that hard pack barrier over the gravel. If it gets too thick after a few snowfalls, I can blade it then. Ideally, to me, in mid-January, there's no dirt or gravel visible.
That;s an excellent point Scott! Good to keep a base down - all the best!
Here on the east coast we’ve only got a couple inches so far this winter in total. I haven’t had my bx out with the blower yet this year. I was hoping for a big storm to try out my “new” 1976 Ford 4600 tractor in a few drifts. Cheers ☕️
You were expecting centimeters,
Instead, you got inches.
Now you are talking feet.
Love these plowing episodes. You'll have to title the playlist "Plowing with Potter". The last storm here in New England, we only received about 4 inches of show. However the storm prior to that we got over a foot of the wet heavy stuff.
LOL! Morning Sonnic!
There must be a story behind that tree shaped dent on guy's hood! 😅
LOL! :)
Your blower shoots way farther than his blower!
We have had 2 feet of snow in two weeks,
I noticed something weird,
Not a single snow mobile has gone by.
But
A half a dozen side by side four wheel drives have been zipping by on a regular basis.
And there are no where near the number of snowmobile tracks that there used to be, in past years
Morning Jean. Here too - when I drove up, the gates were still locked closed on the skidoo trails. Have a great weekend!
Good Morning. I have the LX3310 with the front mount blower. It gets the job done. Plus the heat in the cab makes it nice. Enjoy your day. As always a nice video.
Great video of good neighbors & team work. I'm simply amazed at how well the back blade works at that steep angle. I'm guessing the weight of the blower keeps that front end tracking straight. AND those chains you guys are running are amazing. Those baby's bite that hard ice really well. Love it. Always enjoy your video's. Keep em coming.
Morning - thanks for the comment! That blade was about an inch away from pulling me sideways. I angle it and start pulling - I adjust as I go until it starts to pull me, then back it off. Good eye! have a great weekend!
Well, that is a hard pull and under the worst conditions, I am really impressed with both tractors and operators. @@GPOutdoors
Nice to have teem work when doing things like that. Between the two blowers and your back blade you guys can sure move alot of snow in a short amount of time. I kind of hope you get all that snow they are calling for. I want to see you take care of that. Ship some to Ohio. Nothing to play in but we have winter storm watch up for a wide area. Gave heard it before. Most of the time all B.S. we will see.
Cheers Rod!
Hope you are doing well Gord! Nice to see you finally getting some snow. Our winter in SW Michgan just started as well. Currently have about 8 inches on the ground with more expected the next couple days before warmer temps next week. Take care!
Hey Happy New Year Jeff! Thanks for dropping in - hope you have a great 2024!
Thanks for another great video. It was nice to see 2 blowers going at once. We had the same amount of snow as shown in the video and then shortly after we had 2 separate dumps of 15cm each from snow squalls passing over us as the wind shifted. Needless to say I have been busy clearing snow. On another note I watched your video on chainsaw purchase again and decided it was time for a Stihl 462 CM. That is one very powerful saw.
Good morning Andrew! You will love that 462 - noticeably heavier but worth it for the power difference. Be well and all the best!
Fill that up with crush asphalt. With that work better than gravel?
Morning Tim. I have been trying for two years now. My friend ( excavator) who brings my gravel also recommended I try it but he said the local quarry rarely gets it and it gets sold out quickly. Hope maybe this year he can get me some - I wanted to try it on the lower entrance driveway first to see how it weathers. Thanks - all the best!
Hey Gordon, quick question for you. Do you use the blade, and then the blower, to minimize the snow "banks" along the sides of your driveway?
I only ask, because a lot of us here in the midwestern US will use ONLY THE BLADE for snow removal.
Now granted, we don't get the FEET of snow that a lot of you up north receive, but I have bladed snow up to sixteen inches. The other factor supporting the use of the blade alone for us is that our snow does not stick around for months!
It just looked like the blade was cleaning your drive so much better than the blower was.
EDIT: I guess I asked my question too soon, as I watched when Guy showed up and saw that he was indeed taking that furrow of snow created by the blade and blew it into the woods. This makes me feel better about living where I do! LOL
Good morning Lonnie. Exactly correct. The trees line right to the edge of the driveway so no room for pushing the banks. If it is a small snow , I sometimes will blade to the side but the bank will build up to big over time and the driveway starts to get more narrow as the winter progresses. Have a nice weekend!
I can’t wait to see the big storm GP.. happy new year to you. .. definitely like the heater on Guys cab…
LOL! Cheers 690!
What a mess that made!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Lots of comments. I did not read them all so not sure if this was said by anyone else. We are so very fortunate to have friends that are willing to help us but i have to wonder if you might have been a little bit dissapointed that you ultimately ended up with less seat time than you were hoping for.
Kind of bittersweet.
LOL! Good morning - welll... we made up for it after the next day's big snowfall. Guy's blower broke down so I had a few other driveways to clear in addition to mine - it was a long day. :)) have a great weekend!
Nice teamwork guys! It looks great! Yeah, we got 14" of snow followed by rain! I am Sooooo glad I have my tractor! It was a wet sloppy, heavy mess! We normally get the most snow after December, so these next few weeks will be interesting, cold, warm, snow, rain! Bah!
I have the exact same setup than GP. It is the perfect config to like when it’s snowing in Canada! GP, do you use the block heater all the time or just when the temperatures are quite cold?
Morning. Anytime it is close to or below zero celsius (freezing). :) Have a great weekend!
would you ever upgrade to L3560? why or why not . interested to hear your take. thanks!
God morning and great question. I would love an L. Just spoke to the guys at Larkin a few weeks ago again. But I have a little property - only about 4 acres and this LX seems to fit the bill 99% of the time. My dealer keeps telling me an L is too much for what I need here, and I kind of agree. But a big L would be pretty nice to have. Hope that helps!
So do you think that the plowing was easier done by Guy and his bigger machine or would you have been able to complete the task with yours just in smaller bites? Have you ever broken a shear bolt in the blower? I think your taunting the snow gods might be a mistake😂. We picked up 11” last week and that was more snow than we have had in the last 2 winters combined. That cab looked awful inviting!
LOL! Morning BLT! Yes, I could have done it for sure. I broke several in the first winter, and only one last winter - I learned over the years to clear the limbs and bigger rocks out of the driveway each November before the snow, to minimize breaking the sheer bolts. Sure is nice to be warm for sure. Have a nice weekend!
Just bought a brand new LX 4020 to move snow in mountain resort. dealership put howes diesel treatment in it and sold me a bottle to treat diesel because the temp i around 0 degrees F at 10000 feet elevation. I have 17.2 hours on the tractor and the thing won’t start. tried for 3 days finally put 911 in fuel filter and added a little to the tank as per specs. still won’t start. had to tow it through 4 feet of snow 150 yards as the kubota dealership in my area wanted to charge me 8 hours of labor just to drive out to and from my location because i didn’t buy it from them. took it to a kubota dealership in a different state but only 1.5 hours from me. They told me the DPF is completely clogged due to the fuel. SOOO no warranty and no insurance coverage. $12000.00 to fix. the tractor was only $39000.00 WTF! Kubota service and insurance and Sales all suck. They blame it on the other dealerships, no one is taking responsibility for taking care of tractor. Read your manual and warranty and insurance form. If it is fuel related. NO COVERAGE. DONT BUY Kubota! LIARS and Fraudsters. Does anyone have any insight or help here ? Just lost over $20000 on contracts for snow removal. and looks like i wont be getting this tractor back for at least 3 to 4 weeks, even if i pay the extortion money to fix it. and then im sure it will just gel up again and and wont start and will have to go through this all again in another 17 hours. only about 15 total gallons of fuel have gone through this engine 8 of which was put in by the dealer and i only put 12 oz. of howes in the 10 gallons of ulsd i bout from costco. teir one diesel.
So sorry to hear that - wish I had some ideas to help you out but I don't, except to perhaps contact Kubota USA Corporate to raise the issue with them. I hope it works out for you.
So did you get the snow!?
Indeed we did. Over the two following days :))
Biggest fan out of Connecticut! Can’t wait for the next video
Nice machine how’s the blow back in the wind ?
Morning Brian. All good - I have the hydraulic deflector on it as well so it is quick to adjust both side to side and to direct it down when needed. Cheers!
