JOHN DEERE GATOR VS TRACTOR PLOWING SNOW IN STYLE! 🚜🐊😎

WANT TO SUPPORT GOOD WORKS TRACTORS? CHECK OUT THE LINKS BELOW!

We finally got a bit of snow here in Michigan, so this morning we're plowing drives with a six-way plow attached to a John Deere Gator XUV865r and pushing snow at the shop with an HLA 2500 Snow Pusher attached to a John Deere 4066R. We've got lots of footage so you can see how to handle a few different situations and drive types, plus get a better insight as to which you might prefer.

Crazy how satisfying this video is. Your camera person is on point.

The Gator did well with the driveways and I agree about keeping the snow off your neighbors property. The pusher did well in the open lot clearing. I was surprised that you have to plow your own area when the landlord has the upper lot plowed. Its also crazy that you have to bring it up the hill. (No place for it in the lower lot). Both plow & pusher did well for there tasks, good job and thanks.

Awesome video! I think I’ll stick with my 1 Ton Diesel and 9’-2” Boss V Plow though. I almost never push snow towards the road it all gets pushed back up the driveway I’m plowing. Also don’t put banks at the end of the driveway by the time winter comes to an end you’ve decreased the width of the driveway pulling in and obstructed visibility pulling out.

I've found that the verticle angle on the edge makes a difference when you want to scrape. A slight tilt away from the direction you are plowing causes the edge to float slightly. I adjusted my tilt to perfectly vertical and it scrapes both directions. Also when going backwards your skid shoes will hold up the blade since they are on top of snow where in forward the snow has been removed.
By the way I like your brother's camera work. Nice job!

Rosie looks like she enjoys the snow - she has a lot of energy! My BX loader bucket works great for my small driveway, but not nearly as fun as my ATV used to be (before I sold it to get the BX...)

[ralphjelomono]

Agree not to push snow and debris into the neighbors yard. But believe I would have to use manual shovel near the garage door to give the gator a start point and push down and to the sides. Still think the 4066 is the ticket

[justinotten]

Yea we always had clean scraping issues with atv/ utv blades. It worked a bit better when we added weight right on the plow. It's a delicate balance...too much weight and you will damage the plow, not enough and it just floats..

[ducksp]

Tractor and pusher all the way. Just retired my ATV from plow duty this winter in favor for a compact tractor and pusher. Never going back. Hydro and the extra weight make all the difference.

A forecast of a dusting closes schools here (coastal NC). Today was 65 with nearly a foot of sunshine!

[brandonmurphy]

Hey nice plow. Is that the same as the Boss V plow???

[bryanworth]

Funny how they disguised the brewery across the street as a church ! Your video makes me wish I'd spent the extra $ on a cab for my 2025r - it was 12 degrees this morning when I plowed my driveway ! Steering brakes would have been nice too .

[steffen-]

Whoever you plowed around @9:00 that looked way nicer than your driveway. You should do more snow blower videos this winter. I prefer those to a blade.

[joeynadley]

Have you tried putting chains on your front tires, on the 4066r.

I do with mine and it turns like a charm

[AdamTDelisle]

I feel like this is one of your better videos you have put out recently. Maybe that’s just because I like the vlog style better and a sales type video. I like seeing your day today operations and making the videos more personal. Either way love the channel and keep up the good work!

[jonathanleonard]

So now I understand why side load garages are good.

[TrentWZ]

Got to use that cutting edge to break the snow up first then back drag it for the best results

[jimmyjohn]

It all depends on the size of what your cleaning and how much snow the bigger the lot and more snow the tractor will work but smaller and a little less the gator will be perfect

[jocalafarms]

The johndeere plow looks identical to the fisher plow i have for my gator. I bought my 835r 2 years ago and deere didn't have that plow available yet.

I always sweeten the deal for my neighbors when I need to stack in their yard. Wait til the city plow comes by and leaves a dense row at the end of their driveway then knock it out for them, for free. Friends for life and they will bake you a pie too.
