squonk 43,736 #1 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Just a short video plowing snow at work during Winter Storm Damon Lots of ice falling with the snow. Really hard to shoot video while having gloves on and all the shifting and plow adjustments. This video is dedicated to Craig, Brian, Steve, and Jim D. Also special thanks to my wife and her amazing Chile and Brownies! Edited December 10, 2014 by squonk 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,744 #4 Posted December 10, 2014 It is very hard to be the equipment operator AND the camera operator! Nice job! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,053 #5 Posted December 10, 2014 GoPro (or chinese knock off!) with mounts. I hope to get one or two for this season... we will see if I can or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,736 #6 Posted December 10, 2014 I don't like getting ice on the phone. Everyone else in the crew had shovels in their hands Maybe I can get someone inside to film it next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #7 Posted December 10, 2014 Nice video Mike. Is that the one you took to work to plow with? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,736 #8 Posted December 10, 2014 Yes. That's the tractor Craig brought up and Brian brought the plow. We had the " mini Meet &Greet with you and the Dino on Skype. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #9 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) 2 things that I care about. AWESOME wax job on the horse, and what driveway are plowing? I see that massive dorm in the back, so are you being generous and plowing for free? Rob Edited December 10, 2014 by RMCIII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,736 #10 Posted December 10, 2014 First, i think Craig gets the credit for the Dupont Rain Dance finish! The tractor was a looker when I got it. We are required to help with snow removal at work. Well after my recent medical issue my shoveling days are over. So I brought Sqonk to work as part of all the other tools I have there.The hospital campus is about 15 acres with lot's of nook and crannies. Perfect for a garden tractor. We have a truck, 2 Kubota utes with plows and a loader tractor. I can cover more ground riding than walking with a shovel too. SAVE A COWBOY,RIDE A HORSE!!!!!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,929 #14 Posted December 11, 2014 Looking good there Squonk. Nothing better that a vid of a horse. First thing I noticed was the melted snow beading up on the paint! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #15 Posted December 11, 2014 Just makes me cold watching it ... Looks like it did a great job!! Can't wait for snow here though ... A cold show for sure. I like to watch out the window while sons and grandsons mount the Horses! Now the boys pray for snow, I'd rather be drinkin' fish and catchin' beer. Sittin' by the wood stove works fine while the boys "exercise" the Stallions! The 16 hp Work Horse, 416-8 and 520-8 are eager to please when the nasty, wet, cold, slippery white stuff hits the deck. I prefer the smell of fresh cut Kentucky Vita Bluegrass! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #18 Posted December 11, 2014 So let me get this straight. You are required to help snovel snow. Your recent medical issue, which I am sure, they are aware of, should allow you to not have to shovel snow. But you decide to still be the trooper and bring in 1 of your horses to help with snow removal. That is AWESOME! Did they give you a nice parking space for it also that keeps it out of the weather?

Ken B 3,189 #19 Posted December 11, 2014 Very nice Mike, now all you need is a snow cab! You are no doubt a true company man. I'm surprised the Brass hasn't thrown someone out of the plow truck or off one of the Kubota's though, especially given your recent medical issues. Maybe the guy in the truck has seniority or he is the boss, maybe he is over weight and old, or all of the above? Just guessing. Using a snow blower is tiring enough but having to actually use a shovel is a young man's job, cause let's face it, you ain't no spring chicken! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,138 #20 Posted December 11, 2014 The hospital campus is about 15 acres with lot's of nook and crannies. Perfect for a garden tractor. Might want to put in a requisition for a new plow edge!! Mike.......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,736 #22 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) AMC Rules " Plow Edges are Us. Have hammer will travel!" Doc said I can shovel. I refuse to do so. So if they want me out side, it's a Horse. I have a garage to keep it in. Kubota's are hard to see out of. Defrosters suck and the mirrors are sawed off. Grounds guy won't get new mirrors because all he does is break stuff and drives around in the plow truck yelling all day. 2 years ago he totaled out a car and put a woman in the hospital for 6 months with the old plow truck. And he did it in the parking lot!! Edited December 11, 2014 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
