- A little snow, plus rain and warm temperatures equals heavy wet packing snow. I warm up the Kubota LX2610 compact tractor and the LX2980 front mount snowblower for a run up the driveway to plow out the snow. What started out as a relaxing drive out to the Concession Road quickly became an adventure. I hope you will join me for a little while, here at the cottage, in the outdoors. Cheers!

Thanks you so much Darrin. I try my best for you good folks. You are awesome! Happy New Years!
@@GPOutdoors that wouldve sucked if was out in the open station be covered in snow
Reminds me of THE SHINNING
Well done. You are fortunate to have the right tools for all your needs work safe have a great holiday.
Cheers Gary!
this look super fun
💥 Wow!! How gorgeous it is in the north woods. Those branches are really sagging with that snow. Bet you stayed nice and dry!
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Happy New Years to you and your beautiful family Jon!
Had the same kind of snow here in Northern Wisconsin. I swing the chute back and forth when coming to those bent over trees. It knocks the snow off and many of them spring right out of the way. Luckily, I didn't need a chain saw as the properties I clear are not mine.
This guy is awesome
LOL! Thanks very kindly Greg! All the best!
cheers
Great job really did well
Thanks Mark!
Thanks for taking me on a trip to winter wonderland. :)
Cheers and a Happy and Safe New Years to you and your family David!
Making work fun.
I see a well placed scabbard on the Kubota and a small quantity of bar oil, fuel, scrench, and a file on board. Heck why stop there, bring a coffee pot and toaster oven. Awesome set up I did see clamp on scabbards somewhere on the internet. They go on the loader supports. Beautiful video thanks for posting. There are three kinds of people one complains how the weather is destroying the driveway, the second complains about how long it took someone to do all that work when the bill comes, and third what a great opportunity to spend some time outdoors enjoying the task at hand. I like your enthusiasm. On another note I put my dad's Kubota RTV to the test last weekend I'll try to get some video up. I was stunned at what it pulled. Probably 6 to 7k including the weight of the log trailer up hill. I wasn't even going to try it and thought I'll see how far it gets. It really didn't complain just walked right up the lawn onto the driveway and out. Amazing little piece of equipment. Happy New Year!
Wow. that's pretty great Mark! Thanks - Happy New Years!
That cab protected you from the branches! Must be warm in there since you have no jacket on :-)
I like that batterysaw. I usually spend the first 25 minutes mixing gas and trying to get the saw started(without spilling mess in cab).
Just a tid bit of info, when I snow blow and have hanging branches I maneuver the chute and deflector to deflock them. This keeps you from having to drive through them and more importantly gives you a bit of fun.
What a beautiful place. Most of the time if you shut your PTO off you can push those small trees off of the road and not hurt anything finish the job later.
I have 2 gas Echo chain saws and 2 Dewalt cordless, I love the cordless, for small stuff... Nice vid...
You sure had your work cut out for you (no pun intended). You did a great job clearing your driveway,( probably the longest driveway I have ever seen) Hope you enjoyed your coffee after all that hard work,
. Nice job and nice equipment God Bless.
Great video! Really enjoyed it!
Thanks Mike!
Using the snowblower too clear off the trees is something I never would of thought of lol great technique
It's just one of those things you learn, snowblower or frontloader (if you have a rear mounted, forward facing snowblower).
Even better trick is to cut those trees down in the summer/fall, you'll have firewood for the upcoming winter AND won't have to step out of the tractor when clearing snow :)
Nice job getting the trees off the driveway
Wow! Neat toys!
Awesome videos
The winter time is always a good reminder that you will have some right of way and canopy work to do on your roadway.
That wet heavy stuff revealed a days worth of work trimming along the driveway. I try to get my end if driveway done first so I can blow all the salt/sand with fresh snow. Great video!!
Sure is pretty . Wet snow is a pain. Looks like,e blower did well.
She did great Bob! Similar to the old one, you just have to watch how fast you ingest the snow - especially this stuff. I had no idea how wet and heavy it was until I started up the driveway and saw the trees bent over. Have a wonderful and safe New Years with your family!
Yep sure looked wet. Bet you would’ve grab a saw if you knew also. I’ve had to use my back blade before to push limb out of the way when I forgot a saw.
Love the long format videos. Love how you talked for 14min then completed the work.
I really enjoyed that❤❤❤
All of that white snow sure makes the Kubota Orange stand out. Very nice. Here in Peoria IL, we are getting our first little snow (other than a dusting)
Take Care, Jason
Happy New Years Jason!
@@GPOutdoors same to you
Thank you very much for a very nice video I really appreciate how you take care of your tractor just don’t run over things
a lovely place where you live
have a happy and safe new year and I look forward to your next video.
Well the skeeters didnt seem too bad today.
LOL. Too funny - Cheers!
Even better when you can take yer time and enjoy.thankz for sharing.
G P great it's how things go when you heavy snow we are to 5 or 6 inches tonight with 35 mph winds so tomorrow morning when it's light we can move the snow looking forward to it
God Bless All
PaK
It sure is Peter! Happy New Years to you and your family my friend!
I like Kubota products, because I've used their tractors, and attachments. When It comes to lawn care I prefer Cub Cadet, they offer shaft drive lawn tractors and they make really nice finish mowers! 🇺🇲👍
Man how nice is that cab now
:))
Exactly why you need the rig you have. Beautiful
Good video and I totally agree with you there are some days when you know you will be in the tractor moving snow in the morning, I run a rig similar to yours but with a PTO blower on the rear and loader on the front and some morning it just feels good to out doing this! Although by the end of the year I am looking to really NOT be moving snow anymore on a good snow year I get up to 60 hours in the cab moving snow and just about never less than 40 hours, by Spring I am ready to do something else with the tractor! Good video thanks for sharing!
LOL! Very true for me too, Karl. Thanks !
Makes me wish I had PTO on my Terramite tractor/loader/backhoe.
Wow! That was quite the operation!!
Glad you had the gear and knowledge to clear it all up!
Cool, target practice!
Like the snow but not the branches leaning into the drive. Easy to damage the tractor.
Great job on the video edit. Good to see you improvise as you go, and adapt when you need to. When you're out clearing, and trees are coming down, you can't hear the "crack", so the "I shouldn't be out here alone" rings very true. I notice you take a good look around at the trees near you, when you're gonna start chainsawing.....well done.
Just an FYI, I watched a video yesterday about putting on a ceramic coat on ALL the parts that the snow comes in contact with.
Must have a clean, dry snowblower, then clean with isopropyl alcohol first. I'm sure you could find videos if you are interested.
The guy had virtually no snow build up after using and it's supposed to last all season.
Looks more like an exercise video than tractor use. We didn't get that much ice snow combo here , glad of that. Cheers
It’s fun 🤩
Happy New year to you all
Happy new year
What a beautiful, winter wonderland!! Happy New Year! Stay safe.
And the purpose of an adventure is to have one. Fun to watch your blower
HOLY WINTER WONDER LAND !
THINGS LIKE A SNOW CANNON !
TAKE THAT OLD MAN WINTER !!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Happy New Years Bubba! I hope you had an awesome Christmas and wish you and your family the very best for 2021! Keep people smiling. You are a positive force :))
Thank You , you as well G.P.
Keep them , vid-z , coming. ............... OH !!!
better not let Carol see you out there play'n around in the heated cab , list-en-in 2 winter songs..........
......... u-ll B cleaning the proch and cars with the shovel and scraper and YOU KNOW WHO will bee do'n the drive.
... Next time make it look like us-n this new tractor is like go'n to the dentist............ CHEERS !
....... and lets get the hell rid of 2020 !
Love the long driveway! Mine is 1200ft and almost as beautiful in the winter as yours. I wish it would stay cold down here so my driveway would freeze and stay frozen for the winter as every time I remove snow I also remove a layer of stone as well. Have a happy and safe New Years.
Maybe you are using your snow removal equipment too low to the ground. Some snow blowers have adjustable skids to keep from picking up the rock. Please consider what you are doing and why it picks up a layer of stone.
Amazing how a little moisture can change the forest. Stay safe, Happy New Year, and thanks for the great cup of coffee
great idea blasting the branches with the snowblower! :)
lol my buddy uses the blower and pushes them off useing the blower bucket
Impressive that blower is able to handle so wet snow. Many typical rear V-blows used by farm tractors would be in trouble.
I guess one advantage of the snowblower is it throws the snow away from the road where a plow packs it against the sides. I know when I plow and it gets deep, the road gets narrower and narrower. This is because I have a fence on each side.
Always enjoy your video. Lots of work I know.from oregon.
Thanks 👍 Matt! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy New Years , God Bless
Happy New Years!
Hi GP. I just realized that you have a new tractor and a new Snowblower. I missed the transition to the new equipment. This video highlights the good and bad with a cab. If all you had was a roll bar, you could go under/thru some of those low hanging branches. But with the cab, you have to take the time to get them out of the way so not to damage your cab. Hopefully you only have to clear the trees and branches out one time per season if you have a big storm. I love your videos and hints & tips. Stay Safe my friend.
Great points P. But I must say the heat is awfully nice. :)) Have a great week!
Very nice idea of clearing some bent trees by shooting them with the discharge! Looks like it worked pretty good too!
Boy GP that Stihl is sharp !!!
Watching GP blow snow is therapy for your soul . Happy new year GP and to all your viewers.
Happy New years Mark! All the best for 2021!
Looks like you're having a great time. Love to see you are doing well.
Thanks TJ!
You have all the toys--I love it!
Excellent video & to have bonus video too. Awesome.
Gord, I appreciate that with all the snow clearing and to have to deal with all the downed trees you took the time to setup all the great camera shots.
Awesome job. You have a great channel. It shows that you do enjoy doing what you do to provide us with great content and enjoyment. 😃 👍
Good morning and thanks kindly Daniel. I really appreciate the support and am very happy you enjoy them. Enjoy your Sunday!
Love your homestead...
Snow looks super
Isn't that a perfect way to describe 2020. AN ADVENTURE ! I sure didn't expect what we got this year. To all my fellow subscribers & GP. Have a Happy New Year, Cheers to All. We deserve a better 2021, lets hope that's what we get.
Hate the wet heavy snow. It’s a bit slower going but it gets done. Great video 👍
Wonderful video of the snow! I have a 1300 foot wooded driveway and the 3-5 inches of snow we got for Christmas was beautiful as well!
Lovely driveway Gord. Much better to be driving forward and not in reverse. Be safe.
Happy New Year Sunjay!
Nice video. New sub. The snow blowing the low-hanging limbs was a good trick.
Thanks and welcome Phil! LOL. It was a little fun, I have to admit. Cheers!
Good stuff! Funny how us tractor owner's sometimes look forward to snow! It's obvious you're digging the new cab! Nice!
I sure am Kap! So nice to have heat and shelter. Cheers!
GP the night of the storm, "I can't wait for morning and a nice relaxing ride up & down the driveway in my cab"
Mother Nature, "Ha...think again buddy!" lol
Wow that was an adventure, sure did look cool with all the snow on the trees, but the clean up is a mess. In the extended play near the end there was a tree hanging over that looked like it was gonna come down.
Thanks Dan! There were a few. Honestly, I should have called Guy or Bob to come out. Literally, while I was out there, tree tops and limbs continued to crash down around me. I didn't want to make the video too dramatic, but that's why I went all the way back to get my Helmet. Happy New years to you and your wonderful family my friend! I look forward to hanging with you in the New Year!
Happy New year to You and Yours !!!
Happy New Year Bruce!
Ha! Improvise! Let's throw heavy snow on the trees. Love it.
Greetings Gord, Lee here, those snows suck big time, imagine doing this without a cab, no more snow down your neck. I like your trick with the shute, moving the bent over trees. Your road looks like it has a nice base now after blowing it out, you and your family keep well, Happy New Year, Later
Hey good evening Lee! So great to hear from you. Yes, it was a fluke- but now I know I can hit those branches and make the tree retract out of the way. LOL. Always new things to learn. I hope you and your family had a nice Christmas! Have a Happy New Years!
Good evening Gord great video, I remember days like that, just like Mama said ! 🤔 Glad you got through it safely . Thanks for sharing with us, Happy New Year to you and Carol and the family. Fred.
Happy New Years Fred! All the best of happiness and success for next year my friend!
“Engage!”? Gord, would you happen to be a fan of Captain Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation?!?! BEAUTIFUL there!!
LOL! That is too funny. Yes, I am ,and moreover, after I watched the final version, I laughed thinking exactly that. LOL. Cheers Dean!
that was great enjoyed watching I didn't have to do anything you did all the work thanks for sharing Happy New year to you and your family take care
@@GPOutdoors WOHOO!! Okay, mandatory favourite episode question? Mine is “The Inner Light”!! 😁
Cought that as well Number One!
Good timing. It snowed here last night and when I finish my coffee it’s out on the Kubota and clear the lane. Cheers GP.
Have a great time out there Terry!
Instead of the rear blade, you should have hooked up the wood chipper :)
I was thinking a carryall box that mounts on top of the rear blade would be good, could haul all that wood back for a nice bonfire in the spring.
Great video !!! Thank you !!! Happy new year. !!!! I hope you have a great new year !!!!
Thanks Mark. You too!
I need to get a snow blower for my tractor! Great video!
I realize it gets miserable and cold...but I'd love to do that just once.
Love the smell of 2 stroke oil and fresh cut pine in the winter. It's almost intoxicating. lol
Tractor vid, argh, argh, argh! :) How to get snow heavy trees out of the way? Sno blo them. Or drive through them.
Wow!!! Beautiful video. Well you wanted an adventure and you got it. But, you forgot to cue the deer, to walk down the driveway, and appear in this video. Maybe next time. I’ll bet you were loving that heated cabin on this adventure, and stayed much dryer with it. Money well invested. Have a safe and Happy New Years.
Wow, that is indeed an adventure! First time I ever see a snowblower shooting for limbs so they can clear the way. At some point, it looked like a Nintendo game! Lol! Thanks GP!
LOL! It kind of turned into a bit of fun Joe. As you can see, I need more practice. LOL! Can't wait to see you clearing that new long driveway! Hope you and your family had a good New Years Day!
In the mid 70s I had a Kubota about the same size I had a bucket on the front for going up the driveway and blade on the back so didn't even have to turn around. No heated cab. Us Canadians are very tough.
Canadians are tough...But I think I'm getting soft Gerry...LOL!
Your lucky here in southern New Brunswick,we may have had 5 cm and ground is now bare.
Gord, another great video. Love the "extended play". How relaxing that must be - Tractor Therapy to be sure. Think it's time for a SAWHAUL on that bad boy. Yes, "Engauge", loved it. What a absolutely beautiful property you have. Peace.
What a chore! Folks who use the concession are lucky to have you. Maybe you and your buddies can work on clear cutting it about 10 feet more along each side in the summer? Happy new year! -Ed
Another great video!
Haha for a minute there it just looked like you were just straight-up snowblowing through the woods. Great video! I love these kubotas
Glad you enjoyed it!
GP out at the end by the gate you could hear the tractor bogging in down in the heavy wet snow. That is a beast of a tractor.
Sean, Gord’s cottage is in the Haliburton vicinity. Those last rains and above freezing temps we had in eastern Ontario were mostly snow and cold on the west side of a lineline running from the east side of Toronto northeast through Bancroft. On the west side of that line, it was either snow or a snow/rain mix. That cold/warm line ran from Toronto due south through the US. The western part of Pennsylvania was all snow, with rain in the east. It was colder in northern Florida’s on Christmas Eve and Day than it was in the whole eastern part of Canada. Strange weather indeed!
Wow, seemed like she was bogging down a bit. GP thank you 🙏 for the content you’ve put out this year. Also thanks to Guy, Koda, Bob and anyone else I’ve missed for their expertise and contributions. Here’s to brighter days ahead in 2021. Happy New Year. 🎊🎈🎆
Thanks Sonnic! I appreciate all your support this year. Have a great New Years!
The blower handled that heavy snow better than the trees did.
LOL!
I don’t think I will ever complain about my driveway again! Great scenery!
The tractor did fantastic with that heavy snow. 👍
LOL! Cheers LC!
Good morning GP.
It sure was pretty.
But the cab made the difference. I am not sure if your blower dose the same but mine if you crank the shoot all the way to the right( sitting in the seat) you can blow the snow behind you. That is such a big help .
The little things. Hahahah
Happy New Year my friend.
Stay safe and always be kind.
Cheers...
Happy New Years to you and Sally, Gus. Hope you have a good 2021. I can rotate it pretty far backwards - more then the old one for sure. Cheers!
You have to be loving that cab buddy!
LOL. I sure am Tim! Happy New Years, buddy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, WE ONLY WISH WE HAD YOUR SNOW NEAR TAHOE!
I don't think you're too old to build a snowman, Gord. I doubt you had the ambition once you cleared the drive, though.
LOL! Indeed. The urge went away by then terry. Happy New Year!
I want a driveway like that.
