Your a lucky man i keep dreaming and looking forward to the future of my snow removal business and can't wait to grow my business to be like yours. Keep on growing and posting videos please i appreciate them.
Thanks Daryl. Growing with purpose. All my decisions are heavily weighed out and calculated. I've got lots of things going on. This was just another piece of that puzzle.
Cool montage, boss Chris! 💪🏽
Thanks Gino!!
Buy when there's blood in the streets they say.. or snow equipment when there is none!
Nice machine
Thanks Grumpy 1. And yes the best moves are made when the years are like this. You wait, another month and most guys will be unloading all kinds of equipment. Maybe I pick up a nice Arctic or MetalPless.
Even if money is not an issue I would go Arctic. And you never discussed cost comparison between the two machines. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks Kent. The machines where only $20K difference. And for that little money, I went with the bigger machine. Not even close.
I ran a 930k for a snow contractor it was a great machine love it the cab was huge I could stand up in it to take my coat off
Yes, the cabs are awesome. I am 6' and can almost stand straight up. Lots of room.
Bye the time next year comes, I'm def. coming up for a snow event!! I don't care if I have to sleep in da barn. I'll do it in order to whip one of those bad boyz around!! Hoping all is well Barba Xristo!! Dirty Jersey out!!
Bro, you be working for me next year driving that 914 LOL. It's really nice.
Hi, i am fellow strawberry farmer from Finland and i am curious to know about how did the runner cutter work last fall, did you used it? Is there lot of strawberry farms in your area?
My fellow greek, my friend has a CAT 910M, they sell OEM mud-flaps for the 910M, 914M & 918M worth buying(my two cents) in fact I made some and installed on my 908M, I-reached out to Dirt Ninja (Tom) and was kind enough to come down to my shop and help me install my Metal Pless (8-36-14), he agreed perfect size for the 908M ,regarding your pusher on the 908M, YES was to big 12FT, especially in cement snow, would not go larger then a 10 ft. box on that machine, at least with the wing plow you can cheat with wings if real heavy etc. Anyways looks great & congrats!
Hello Philip 🇬🇷. Yes 12' way to big for 908. But regardless, it was just too small of a machine for that property. The 914 will serve us well. Paul from MP suggests putting either the 10-36-18 or the 12-36-18 on the 914. We'll see. Where are you located?
Chris, located in Nashua ,NH , my friend is running a 10-42-18 , see,s to be a good combo
@@512high7 Hey, he's running that on a 914? Also are you the same 512high from plowsite? I am ford550 on plowsite.
@@SnowBoss yes 512high, he’s running that on a 910M, same hp as your 914M however, you have more counterweight I think, I don’t have that much knowledge on those machines
I hope they paid off a bit this year
I love the 908 it’s the perfect size machine. I’m thinking of getting rid of my 906 and buying a new 908 it’s just the right size for what we do
The 908 is a great machine! Just too small for what we do.
@@SnowBoss I got a komatsu wa 100 about 5 years ago about the same size as the 908. I just fell in love with how easy they are to drive down the road. Also the maneuverability is awesome to. I love your new machines love the channel to
@@allied1394 Yes they are tight machines. Thanks for watching, glad you like the channel, means a lot.
The 914 cat loader is a better machine for bigger properties. I would choose a arctic sectional snow pusher it still saves a lot of salt you already have one Metalpless pusher so you should purchase the arctic snow pusher that's what i would do both snow pushers are a great combination
Yes the 914 is a lot more machine. It's basically brand new with only 168 hours. I got a great deal basically +30% off new. I am highly considering the Arctic. The scrape is very good (second only to MP) and about half the price. But, the MP is definitely more adaptable because it can be all things at anytime, where the Arctic is only a push box.
agree on having 1 of each, 2 metal pless on the same property is a bit of overkill if you ask me. get a 17' wide sectional, good lord you'd be doing some work.
Is this a different site that you tested the loaders on?
Yes, it's another site I have. Same warehouse as last year. No snow this year, but check out some of my videos from last year. You can watch me plowing this site with my truck and see the layout of the site.
What kind of blades will you use?
I put a metalpless 12' LiveBoxx pusher on the 914M
I am glad that i saw your tube you are full of energy i did some quick numbers you spent 400k all new you must be the only guy in your area to get all those big places no disrespect but I couldn’t get that work here in Chicago glad for you and your family shoot me your email so we could talk keep up the good work thanks glad to be a new sub
Welcome to the channel Michael!! Thanks for leaving a comment. My area is the second largest warehouse distribution area in the country. There is tons of work to be had. And they are building 10's of millions sf more. I didn't buy those loaders new for that reason, that's crazy money. I buy them out of the rental fleet at my CAT dealer, they are practically new and low hours but, I save about 30%-50% off new. Again thanks for the sub!
The one reason why I would never buy a Cat wheel loader is because they eliminated the FNR lever on the left side of the steering wheel. If they wanted to put the FNR button on the bucket lever fine, but don't eliminate the left hand lever all together. They should give us a choice.
So I used to drive a backhoe for many years and felt the same with the left side stick. But I gotta be honest, myself and the operators would never go back. The FNR on the right is just so easy. But, my 950GC's do have the left shift stick plus the FNR so CAT still has it on some models.
@@SnowBoss I understand. And everyone is welcome to operate the way they want. I myself, don't like the FNR on the bucket lever because we use a lot of side dump buckets around my area and when operating the bucket, plus, the side dump feature and throwing it into neutral, or forward and reverse is just too much for one lever. And the left lever was working great for many years, plus I don't really see it as an improvement. Cat in recent years cat doesn't know the difference between motion and progress. I think Cat went way down hill with their Excavator line. The Dozers and loaders are still premium, especially track loaders. But everything else, is junk.
Oh, and by the way, I wish you a very busy and profitable snow season. Good luck.
@@scottmcquarrie7295 I could see where all that would be cumbersome. But with what we do for snow and the wing plows it's perfect. We haven't had any problems with our loaders and skids, but every manufacturer has their issues.
@@scottmcquarrie7295 Thank you!!
Nothing scrapes like a sectional
That is a true statement 👍
@@SnowBoss not even the metal pless live edge? i honestly don't know as i've never used either.
I hope all three machines will be working all year round making money. Otherwise its pointless having 3 machines just for snow when it isnt gonna snow. Not hating just saying my opinion. Cool machine.
I don't disagree. However if you know what you're doing with snow, you are making money even if it's not snowing. All business for me, I don't make these decisions lightly. Every decision is a very deliberate and calculated risk. 👍
@@SnowBoss oh nice great on your part! Don't u do farming or something in summer? Could use them for that too 👍
@@evank7444 Yes, I have some big things in the works at the farm too, which I will need them for too. Also, expanding the snow brand into some construction. Big things coming 👍
Metal pless
Kage is junk I own two.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I have heard both ways on them. It's is way down on the list.
Easy.
906hp
Metal pless
Got the 914 and have a 12' metalpless liveboxx on it.
