A Little Snow Pushing Footage

[chesbaycruiser 82]

I know you folks up north are sick of the stuff, but here in central Virginia we are always the bridesmaid, never the bride, or put more accurately, we're always cold rain or sleet while people 70 miles north or south of us get the fun.  I guess I'm not the only one in these parts doing a victory dance!  Anyway, I figure we got somewhere between 8 and 10 inches.

I plowed once during the night while it was snowing, and then again this morning when I shot this video.  I used a GoPro mounted on the tractor and a Garmin Virb on a tripod.  Nothing earth-shattering, just happy to be able to push something!

Great workout video with the B-80 Chris!   They can really do the job!

[Tankman 3,515]

Neighbors used to laugh when they saw my 8 hp Horse plow gardens and snow too!

 

That was 40+ years ago! The Horse is still workin' today!

Very nice video, beautiful home.

Great video.Looks like that little B-80 does the job.I have one at our other house for lawn duty.They're a great little tractor.Is that a Harley front spoked wheel hiding under the cover in your garage?

That B 80 got it done and looked great doing it. Nice video...

Nice video.  Plows are so much fun when there is only 4 inches of powder!

Great video work.

Never underestimate the power of those little 8 horse power    tractors. Great video, thanks for sharing.

I agree about low horsepower for plowing.  It's a joy to use my CX-105.

Excellent video...something about plowing snow...I don't think I would ever watch a video of someone mowing their lawn.

Steve, now that you said that. I BET someone posts a lawn mowing video. Lol

Very nice videography and editing. The B-80 does a great job, but this video is really a neighborhood 16, 18, 20hp box store mower smackdown.   I love it!

[KC9KAS 4,741]

WOW, nice plowing job and the little B-80 didn't even have chains on did it?

The Go-Pro camera is a great item too.

 

Don't ever let anyone try to down-play a B-80...That 8 hp Kohler is a worker.

Yours sounding like it wasn't more than 1/2 throttle and pushing the heck out of the snow!

I did not watch it (yet) Craig...however...I am tempted to watch because of the reel mower.  Not fair mate. 

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,440]

Great video!

Craig cutting crop circles in his yard again. Homeland Security keeps flying drones over his house and think "What in the Wide Wide world of Sports is a goin on down there?"

After the driveway is plowed you flood it and break out the Zamboni!

Thanks Pete...although when I look at tractors today, I don't think there IS such a thing as a "little" Wheel Horse!  And yes, your sharp eye did detect a little Wisconsin Chrome peeking out under the cover...

Steve, I read your comment and thought "You know, he's right...who'd watch a video of someone cutting grass"!  Then I realized I had a clip or two of ME cutting grass on my YouTube channel!    

 

WOW, nice plowing job and the little B-80 didn't even have chains on did it?

The Go-Pro camera is a great item too.

You are correct...no chains, just rear wheel-weights.  I spun some tires but never had any real issues.  I plowed all five driveways in our cul-de-sac (and the cul-de-sac itself) and only had a problem with one of the three that are on hill.  Got it done though.

The cameras are indeed fun toys.  The camera on the tractor is my son's GoPro Hero III (White?), and the camera on the tripod is my Garmin Virb Elite, which has built-in GPS so when I use it on the motorcycle I can overlay data like speed, direction, mileage, etc on the video. 

 

Great video!

I assume you are talking about the car in front of the house?  That would not be "the car that saved Chrysler", that would be a different sort of boxy car...by son's 1991 Volvo 740, still running with over a quarter-million miles on the odo!

Amazing which way the conversation goes when your away from the keyboard for about 14hrs. Nice snow plowing video.

What program did you use to edit the video? 

[JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487]

What program did you use to edit the video? 

I like the tunes, how do you do that? And what is it?

ok, so much for the little red star of the video, now video class. Lol

I need to make a video with tunes.
