- Snow has fallen and my snowblower is not on my John Deere 3046R Cab tractor. I scramble in the mud and roll around on my wet garage floor to get this tractor ready for snowblowing. Please check out my book, "Mind Kill, Rise of The Marauder" at Amazon and Kindle. Tractor in Peace

These videos are amazing Plainly and in a straight forward manner Less talk and more visual than most other videos
Awesome!
What a nice comment, thank you William please be safe.
Love that Deere!!
I miss it was a great tractor thank you James.
Bring on the ❄️!
Awesome, just awesome!
Nice to see the blower on there for the winter. You're ready!
Joe it's a relieve...thank you
That time of the year yet again soon be Christmas
Simon it seems like we're always racing to get things done and I'm always squeezing in additional projects. I hope your happy and well across the pond. Farm in peace
still a boy playing with big boy toys pete. very nice rig
Michael absolutely right you are! Believe me I never lose site of that...my wife reminds me. Keep jabbing you made me smile. Tractor in peace from this boy to you!
Nice job. Love my m12 stubby.
Jeff I agree i have both 12 and 18 volt and they get the job done.
Really like your tractor videos, keep them coming
Andrew thank you, I'm happy you get enjoyment from my tractor the star of my videos. Have a peaceful day. Comments like yours keeping me making videos.
good video. i really love your place . them houses are like dream homes very big house and big yard. maybe one day you should build a barn for that tractor that really nice tractor . very nice SXS to
David thank you, I work hard on my property and I am glad you noticed. Thank you for supporting my channel.
The worst thing about the warmer months is no Marauder snow blowing videos. I'm ready for winter now that you are!
Aaron lol you made my day awesome comment. Priceless making me feel so happy thank you. Read other comment I don't want to disappoint my viewers like you. Believe I know the tractor and blower are the stars of this channel. Winter in peace.
Thank You for taking the time to shoot this, and the details about loosening up the bolts to give some flex on the installation. I am going to be using the same set up for the first time this winter.
You're welcome Richard I have many videos of this tractor. You made my night I'm glad I could help you. Be safe.
Looks like someone needs a toy shed!
LOL...Matt i can't have one in my neighborhood, due to zoning I have to build a garage witch the same standards as a house which is expensive. We'll see what comes in the future. Have a happy thanks giving.
This is really great content. Thanks for sharing it. The filming and editing is well done. Your explanations are really nice. And I can tell from your toys and tools that you value quality and take your hobbies seriously. Great stuff.
Andrew what a nice comment...I have more money in the bank if I didn't value quality but I think you have the same illness. Merry Christmas.
Hello Peter getting ready for snow 20 feet in the mountains bc northern Ontario crazy New York yes it’s soft but not tracks look into tracks no one spot is heavy it’s well placed
Thanks CP I place all the topsoil on my property...ugh I'm hoping they'll frost out.
3046R looks great, Pete! I’m looking forward to your snowblowing videos. I hope you are feeling well and keeping your diabetes in check.
Thank you for asking, I'm feeling better everyday. Now have to get my drones ready for the snow...maybe a couple weeks away. I don't want to disappoint nice people like you. Thank you for commenting and caring.
Were we suppose to see that floor drain in your garage? That’s ok, I won’t tell. 🤫😜 Wish I had one, but…you know…. It would be very handy for all the snow that falls off my cars, instead I have to sweep everything off before I bring it in.
Each of the 3 garage bays has a floor drain works very accept when you drop something stay safe.
I'm still in shock your selling the Defender....we are still cleaning up from snowstorm we had in the Manitoba Interlake last Thursday.
Defender is a good machine, no one should regret owning one. I'm just very impressed with my Polaris machines. I didn't hear of your snowstorm...but you know how it is I'm trying to get ready for our winter. Hit or miss here some years I've used the blower twice. Stay warm ride in peace...nice bike!
LOOK MOMMY IM PLAAYYIINGGGGAAA
Tom absolutely correct...I miss this tractor. Stay warm.
Very nice. I have an open station 3046r that I recently purchased and also have R4 tires that I plan to fill with fluid for traction. I’m switching from my 2032r with a front blower and rear blade to a snow pusher this year. Fingers crossed. You remind me a lot of my dad and uncles. They all have tractors and ATVs like you and I. Enjoy the snow blowing this winter!!
thank you for the positive comment, I'm sure your dad and uncles are better men than I. Please let me know how the snow pushers works out I bought one for our 5090M that adjust from 6 feet to 10 feet.
@@maraudermitchelli that sounds very slick. Mine is an HLA fixed at 72 inches. But I’m excited about having the back drag feature.
I do kind of miss that diesel rattling sound of the old John Deere during winter weather :-) let's see how you do with this project good luck
Oh you mean your jealous of something I have...I'm running with Joe and not looking back. You are the absolutely king of the John Deere Montage...Happy Thanks Giving!
Oh Pete you had me LMAO !!!!
I just saw your #97 in the cab during blizzard blowing snow 2-28-20
I lost it on your “paper clip” suggestion !!!!!
Lol !
Yeah we all knew it was a clothes pin and we knew what you was talking about !
Your a hoot keep up the Awesome videos you do a great job explaining in detail and just letting all of us ride around in your heated cab with you while you’re snowblowing is so cool !
In fact I got all fired up and went out and ordered me a brand new 2022 3039R with deluxe cab and a 320R loader with a heavy duty bucket also got the Balis box with the 9 inch extension apparently it adds 200 or 300 pounds on top the 850 so that should add at least a 1000 pounds of ballast Weight !
I also am waiting for Black Friday to get my bora 4 inch wheel spacers also and a 72 inch drive over mower deck I went with the frontier 3 point imatch hitch attachment it’s a SB1164 with the hydraulic chute and deflector attachments .
This way I can keep my loader on during the winter and use the loader if I need to pile up or push snow in places.
My John Deere dealer
(AG PRO )that I have here in Mount Vernon Ohio told me they ordered a new 3039R loaded back in November of 2020 !
Apparently AG PRO has sold over 50 new 2022 3 and 4 series tractors but none of them have a promise date of delivery ?
This is only for the state of Ohio by the way and just AG Pro .
The only reason I’m getting mine is because my dealer ordered it back in 2020 of November over a year ago and they ordered it with all the bells and whistle‘s and I even added the fender extensions and the front wheel fenders and instead of the R4 tires I went with the same size tires that you have but I ordered it with the R14T it’s a Goodyear Titan tire ! Check them out !!
Get them while you can you might not be able too the way things are going in this country ????
So they just got a promise date or delivery date no later than February !
But I keep hoping I’ll have a new tractor for Christmas I’m very excited !!!!
Of course with 10,000 employees being on strike at the moment with John Deere I’m sure I’ll be grateful for the February delivery date my salesman says as it is now a lot of these people that have ordered Tractor‘s won’t be seeing them until mid summer or even next fall !!
I was wondering how well your book is selling you say it’s a good read ?
I might have to pick it up !
Again thanks for the great videos you seem like my kind of people for sure !!
I live down by the Cardinal Center Marengo,Ohio right off of State Route 61 right off of interstate 71 by Columbus Ohio if you’re into trap shooting or shooting sporting clays it’s an absolute blast it’s another one of my hobbies !
I also build & fly RC air planes and if you got the September issue of AMA magazine the AMA president Rich Hanson reached out to me and wanted to put an article that I sent him in the September issue it is under the presidents perspective !
Take care !!
Happy Holidays !!
And never be ashamed of saying Merry Christmas and God bless You and Yours !!
I’m David Curt Carter Ziems !
Always fly high and hope you have a tail wind both ways !!
If you’re shooting always keep that breach open and empty until your up !!
PULL !!
Lol.
Nothing I could write could equal your comment...you're just amazing. I hope you get your tractor soon...please email me a picture. We had to wait 4 months for the loader for our 5090M and 6 months for it's snow pusher. I'm excellent with a pistol...not so good with clays but I'm sure I could improve. Clays are quite the sports many of my good friends shoot clays. I haven't flown RC planes in 3 years, but I am hoping to start next summer. Most of my planes were 4 strokes, I will be selling them for electric...maybe not my cub. That's a big deal AMA wants to feature in an article please let me know if this happens. Merry Christmas, and Happy thanks giving and God Bless your family...just awesome!
Alright Pete, us snow jocks getting ready for more snowremoval. This year I have a little bit different approach than last year when I started out with the loader and inverted snowblower (And got very little snow). So THIS year I'm starting out with a hydraulic blade up front and my 6'' box blade until I get a good frozen base on the gravel driveway. Then later the inverted will come on if it is warranted. Wow lots of prep to get that nice front mounted snowblower ready to go.
I’m use to it. As now I don’t use the mid mower I could leave the most of the snowblower accessories on but they would get beat up from dirt work. I like your blade set up 🙂
Great video and very informative! Have you given thought to possibly building a shop/pole barn to store the toys and work on your equipment! You have a nice property!
Thank you i work hard on the property. I wear many hats...one of them as a builder real estate developer. Market is very expensive to build and i cannot justify the expense.i cannot build a barn in my neighborhood zoning so a storage building is constructed like a house and is very expensive. I have a detached garage designed I may price in the spring but the return on investment is poor. I like cab machines because leaving them outside does not bother them. Good question.
11:14 Frist Time!
Welcome on board
The white bottle of Power Service is for winter with an anti-gel in it. The silver bottle is for summer use. The red is for when you forget to use an anti gel.
Ron thank you so much…my memory is not so bad…we’ll it’s not good either 🙂 thank you again!
Thanks for posting. I can always use a refresher. Here in northern Wisconsin we awoke to conditions very similar to your opening snow scene. I too am very far behind due to the long beautiful fall during which time I spent piling miles on the RZR instead of prepping my 3039 for winter. Luckily I don’t have to wrestle with the front drive shaft since it remains on all year. I especially liked your portable work light. What make is it?
I use the same blower and I love it. It has never given me a problem. I also have a rotary broom which I use in the early season. Talk about a great tool! We get a lot of nuisance snow off of Lake Superior and since we’re at the southern end of the lake effect range we get severe dustings almost daily in the early winter. The rotary broom works well. I’d say it does an even better job than my blower since it gets down to bare pavement every time. Since I can turn the head both left or right it makes cleaning in tight areas a breeze. I’ve regularly cleared up to 6 inches of wet or dry snow effortlessly. Some years it’s all I use. You might want to check it out. The broom can also be used to freshen up your lawn in the spring. Take care and thanks for the great videos.

John I changed all my cordless tools over from 30 year old Delta to Milwaukee. I have three cordless lights all are excellent. Some malls use brooms for their sidewalks here they do an awesome job but are becoming rare. Every couple years I work in Wisconsin (Wauwatosa, Bayshore, Racine) we usually get your weather a couple days later. Thank you for commenting tractor in peace.
I used to leave the mid-drive shaft front bearing mount in place with my 3320 TLB. I just removed the lower draft arms when using the loader. Also was able to leave my Deluxe Grille Guard in place when using the front 3 point hitch. Made winter changeover to the front plow much faster and easier. That being said that front bearing carrier was fairly low which could have been a problem where ground clearance was a concern.
Frank that' s why I remove it, but maybe I'll leave the bearing carrier on this year. Thank you again be safe
@@maraudermitchelli you're probably wondering why I'd leave the bearing carrier on year round when it's not needed for the plow....... At the time I also had a 59 Snowblower waiting in the wings but the 3320 being an open station, the 2032R cab was my go to for blowing snow.
Thanks for the very informative video. I am thinking about getting a 3039R or 3046R. I wondered if I should consider a front mounted snow blower. After seeing this video I have decided that it is a non starter. I have a JD 4115 with a front mounted snow blower that I have to put on each year. That is a "piece of cake" compared with the process you have to go through. I also hate losing my loader during the winter. I will definitely be rethinking my snow removal options.
Steve I'm glad it helped you decide, be safe please hope you get your tractor soon.
Hey Peter how’s it going I see you’re a little late putting your snowblower on I’m surprised you leave your tractor outside like that mine sits in the garage all year round but if you don’t have the room that’s understandable I can’t believe how dirty you keep the tractor you used to keep that so clean but great video I’m glad you got your snowblower and that’s what I’m going to do this weekend
I know you Dean, I knew I was going to disappoint you with the dirt on the bottom of my tractor, please don't change. She moved, loaded and graded a lot of dirt this year. I'll get her cleaned up and think of you while I'm doing it. Good luck with you blower install, as alway thank you. BTW Dean do you like the intro?
How great are those 12v Milwaukee stubby rattle guns! Best money I’ve spent in years I reckon, use it every single day
I agree...people poo poo 12 volt cordless but i like them as much as my 18 volt. tool in peace
Okay, this is not your fault of course, but why does there have to be so much tool and equipment work to change implements on the front? Why can't they make the snowblower plug-and-play play like so many other implements? Cheers, I'll keep watching, thanks
You would think there should be an easier way that John Deere number one could make this work...Kubota has a quick attach blower setup but it's very expensive and may require removal when using a loader. Other's have blower mounts that have to be mounted to the frame almost to the rear axle. I'm not upset over the blower install the cup holder is horrible...seriously just horrible! have a great thanks giving!
Great video. You're right, it sure looks beautiful out there when it snows. What LED lights did you purchase for your 3046r. Did I miss this in a past video? I'd be interested in doing the same thing with ours! Thank you and God Bless!
Steven I purchased bulbs from Amazon but i cannot remember. I should edit and post the video.
Thanks for the all the videos. They help immensely! Do you find the L. E. D. bulbs have trouble with snow freezing to the clear lens as they don’t heat the bulb lens cap as an ordinary bulb would? I’ll push my luck and ask what L. E. D. bulbs you used to replace the ordinary bulbs with. Thanks again
Tim my LED bulb video will be available tomorrow morning I just finished it. I have no issues with bulbs freezing due to LED. Peaceful holidays to you
I don't understand why you tale off your front bearing housing. I have a 3039R and that bearing housing stays on year around.
Another thing I do is put a box blade on the back of my tractor for pulling and pushing snow in areas that I can't get the blower into.
I really enjoy you videos.
Is your strobe wired in the the 12V socket inside the cab by the back window.
Bob I got in the hobbit of removing the bearing assembly for the midpoint mower...I don't have to remove it for the loader and I bought a zero turn mower. I believe you're correct and will experiment this year. Yes I plug the strobe into the 12 vote socket and it has a switch...I still unplug though. Merry Christmas
Love the channel, hope your health is good!
Looking at a JD3046, garage I have at the house is 7’ (84”) tall… listed height of the tractor is 85”… what is the height of your garage door? If 84”…what modifications did you do to your tractor?
94” a 4 series would not fit. 3046R is a great tractor. You made my day I’m glad you like the channel
Was that the Milwaukee stubby 12V impact wrench you used? If so, I think I'm going to add one to my list of Milwaukee 12V tools.
Yes great powerful tool. The big impact is good, but not as handy as the small impact. Happy Thanks Giving!
Would you need or ever thought of running weights on the REAR for more traction or do you run snow chains? I'm pretty new to the channel. Like the content so far👍👍
Scott thank you for watching. The rear tires are loaded with rim guard...about 400lbs per tire. The rim guard is more than enough weight. I have an old video with the rim guard being installed. Thank you commenting.
@@maraudermitchelli well I had no clue that was a thing. That's cool stuff. Learn something new every day.
WY not leave the loader on and go with rear mount snow blower. I have my 950 JD set up that way . I get snow drifts 5' + in North Dakota.
I never wanted to snow-blow backing up too many issues with my back and going around cars not easier. You probably have a longer driveway my guess. Good suggestion though. Thank you 🙂
While you're getting snow, the PNW has received over 6" of rain. This has caused major flooding and volunteers are needed for rescue and recovery. I have a question for you: what's you opinion on a safe water clearance for our tractor (3046r with cab)??? What should I consider after going into deeper water? Thank you sir! God bless!
FC I'm sorry I just don't know...you would think minimally 24" but I've never contemplated operating the tractor in the water. I've be worried about submerging the transmission and vents. Also consider measuring the transmission and crankcase dipstick height. The last 3 years at my property have gotten wetter and wetter...ugh I'd rather have a dry summer and more snow. Please be safe and have a happy thanks giving.
Leave it melt a night
It melted!
Pete, A month ago I ordered a 3046R w/ deluxe cab, loader, snowblower, backhoe and some attachments etc. it’s supposed to have a quick connect for the snowblower. I guess my question is am I gonna have to go through all that work on the snowblower every year to switch it from the loader back to the snowblower or can some of that snow blower items stay on the tractor? Thank you and I enjoy watching your videos all the time especially since you have the same tractor I ordered. Because of you I think I’m going to get my tires filled with rim guard and thinking about Bora 4” rear spacers because I have the 72 inch heavy duty loader.
Pete some of the black metal underneath my tractor is for the midpoint deck, if you don't have a deck your tractor won't have that. It use to be harder look at my older videos as I had to remove the tractor lift trapeze. I don't know the exact front hitch you'll have. If you don't have a mid mount mower you could leave the prop shaft support on, and the blower shaft but I'd recommend removing the lifting arms which may be mandatory. As I'm no longer using the mid mount deck I could leave the prop shaft support on and the blower shaft but I don't want it dragging and pushing through mud, dirt and rocks. In the video you can see the dirt on the bottom of my tractor...even the transmission and front axle. I would highly recommend rim squared and spacers if you're doing loader work...it's an absolute in my book. I hope you receive your tractor soon. Tractor in peace!
Todd I'm so sorry I called you Pete in my response. I know you and your tractor, my wonderful niece made me aware of my mistake. I'm getting old and forgetful i hope you accept my apology.
Todd I did the same thing !
Pete got me all fired up and I ordered a new 2022 3039r with 320r loader HD bucket and the Balise box with the extension piece and a 72 inch drive over mower deck and I wanted to keep my loader on in the winter so I went with a frontier three point imatch for the rear !!
Did you get a date yet when yours will be delivered to your dealer they haven’t even made mine yet apparently I will be getting an email or Text when they’re going to make it ?
great video. i like watching your videos i just ordered me a 3046r with backhoe not sure when they will start building it. about year ago i bought a 59" snowblower the front hitch, pto shaft, bearing bracket at great price. just ordered all new nuts and bolts for it. i have a question, on your pto bearing bracket can you tell me what the wire on it dose and do i need it and also dose the tractor wiring harness have a place to plug it into. thank you
Martin good question. The dealer installed that sensor at the bearing housing so the tractor engine would not shut off when the PTO is engaged and the tractor is reversing. It worked for one season and has not worked since. Many viewers have sent me directions how to reprogram the tractor so it will not shutoff reversing when the PTO is engaged...but i simply put a cloths pin under the PTO button. Maybe I'll make a video fixing that sensor. I think the dealer ran the plug to the sensor I don't think the tractor came with one. I hope your tractor comes in soon.
By the way Todd who commented on this video has a tractor ordered with a backhoe maybe you want to ask him when his is arriving.
@@maraudermitchelli thanks so much i enjoy watching all your videos you do a great job getting info out to people like me. thanks again
Just for my curiosity are your garage doors 7 foot or 8? Just want to know if I can get one to fit in my garage.
Clear height on my garage doors are 94.5". i would ask the dealer to drop the tractor at your house prior to purchase to verify. Happy thanksgiving!
How tall is that garage door in order for the cab tractor to fit?
94.5"...I hope that helps you . Be safe
Hi I have a question regarding the rate knob in the hydraulic line leading to the front 3 point actuator. My first time using my new blower left me wondering if I needed to adjust the rate knob because the lifting and lowering of the blower is so quick and jerky. It was the first snow of the year and I carved up my gravel driveway quite a bit with the blower shoes since the 1/4 mile driveway is a little soft and not totally level. Frequent fine adjustments with the stick were difficult and somewhat frustrating. Turning the knob seemed to help but I have gone 4 full turns now and the difference is negligible if at all.. I'm not actually even sure if the knob is in the send or return line and consequently which way to turn it to soften the action! I will not likely be using the front PTO for anything other than the Blower
MB I don't fiddle with the knob anymore. I think we just have to get comfortable with the sensitivity of the stick. Not John Deere's best design as the loader stick has cables which run to the valves...my stick has a lot of play in it. Take your time and get use to the sensitivity I hope this helps. I would also adjust the cutting edge and angle to what is best for your driveway...which may be not scraping to pavement or stone. Have a Happy Thanks Giving
I’m looking at getting a 3039r and I’m just curious what kind of clearance you need to get your tractor in you garage. Thanks!
My garage door is 94.5"...but i would confirm measurements with a dealer and if possible test a machine. My tractor clears by about an inch with the strobe light. have a merry Christmas
How often do you add the diesel clean
Allen a little every time i add fuel. A little goes along way. I started using it in my pickup truck...that i would only do every 5-10 tank fulls. There are other similar product which are probably great. I hope this helps.
Question I was always told do not use a power grease gun because you will blow out the seals?
Todd I don't believe that to be true in all cases...you probably generate more power than this pump when you're pushing hard. There is something on my excavator that they told me not to use a power grease gun...and i can't remember what. So i think what you were told is partially correct for certain applications. I hope you put a lot of miles on your Harley bike. Have a peaceful holiday.
@@maraudermitchelli Thanks I did 1,000 miles this season
What blower is that? Im fixing to buy that exact setup for next winter
JD's front mount 59" front mount blower. The design has been around along time it is very reliable. Stay safe.
@@maraudermitchelli thanks
What kinda work did u. Do
Builder, Developer, Construction Manager, Real Estate Broker, Reserve Sheriff Retired, trucker, mechanic body man...on and on and on...oh and I just to occasional drive our trucks! What do you do?
Not no more u don’t
Okay you're probably right
Why do you have to remove the grill guard?
Mark with my front hitch the blower hits the grill guard when i raise the blower...good question!
@@maraudermitchelli thanks I just put my front three point on my 2021 3039R and mines stops before it would contact the grill guard. So I was confused.
Why can’t you just keep the whole drive shaft assembly on year round?
I don't want it beat up when the tractor is doing dirt work...but i may leave it on next summer as it should be a light season for the tractor. Thank you
@@maraudermitchelli Oh okay you’re welcome.
@@beartechdeck my viewers are awesome!
@@maraudermitchelli Thanks!
how much was that tractor with blower....we needed that set up in Buffalo NY this week since that 7 feet dropped
Pauly which is my favorite name, I traded a machine and it was 4 years ago...maybe $43k. She was a great machine. I Don't know how it is priced now
@@maraudermitchelli ok thank you sir
