John Deere 8430 Plowing through 6 foot snow drift

[tractorboy31]

im sorry but even from a johndeere fan ive gotta say that was ridiculous i need to get some wheel wieghts for my jd 520 and could have done that easier with a back blade

[The08Chevrolet]

need some chains!

[TheJackassKidsGang]

wow lot of power!!!

[fendertelecaster8225]

great job, great machine, no "truck" could have done that. saved about 2 days of shoveling by hand. go john deere!

[PirateSygnal]

That must have been one heck of a snow storm! If that's your oldest tractor, then you must have some very nice equipment.

[sloupyhangon]

to me that looks like a very nice tractor........ good job plowing....... nice iron

[generationll]

What other tractors on the farm do you have?

[farmboyjd9400]

just havin a little fun with the plow..



[Swifty7897]

You named your Tractor? Are you CRAZY?? My tuck could plow better than that pos!

[ilikehairytoast]

@Swifty7897 While the tractor is a POS, I doubt that.

[BillTheTractorMan]

@ilikehairytoast a truck weighing LESS than half what this machine weighs couldn't push nothing this could.

For better results, try removing the outer sets of tires. Floatation is exactly what you don't want while plowing snow. The added tires don't do what most think as adding more bite, they actually keep the tractor up on the soft snow more causing more tire spinning.

@BillTheTractorMan

We seriously put less than 10 hours a year on this beast, it pushes the snow and goes back in the shed.

@ilikehairytoast i bet if it had a v blade it would have blasted through in one swipe

[jimulomotocrosser]

@ilikehairytoast I love how all these people are tryin to tell you what to do haha cracks me up.. The thing is a fuckin beast haha the best part was the begining right outa the shed roalin coal!!!! keep it real man

[TheFarmerfitz]

@BillTheTractorMan exactly. Not only that, but when they fill up with packed snow or mud it makes it even worse...I have an old 7020(prelude to the 8430) that I use to plow snow with... Have the bigger singles on it(Same as an 860 massey combine tire) and a 12' degelman blade it works great for plowing snow!!!

[mathiastheok]

@Swifty7897 1) "the old gal" is not a name, but a reference to the tractor. 2) No your pickup couldn't push the amount of snow this equipment could 3) your a dolt.

[MrJdsusername]

@Swifty7897 hahaha i would like to see you try. you would touch the snow bank an spin out. this tractor is pos. a 9320 would easly do this

[bjbridge907]

@Swifty7897 that is some deep snow,its doing a great job.it would be spring time before you could shovel that out,and youed be all day with a little pickup truck.thats at least a 100 hp tractor or more.great video

[thegreenerthemeaner]

@Swifty7897 I have plowed snow with everything out there save a railroad snow blower. You couldn't even begin to get done in a day what he did in 2:47. By the way don't get behind one of these if they back up as they will about flaten your little "tuck". Could you drive over this piece of iron? Pickups have speed and the ability to transport faster, but in this depth of snow, you will be staying home.

[BIGBEASTYBURGER]

0:25 NO SHIT

[mrsigvelid]

worst plowing ever...!

[mdr8088]

Dude, ya'll got some snow....



[kpdsza]

The thing about people like "skioorevman" is they're never around when you need them. They only show up the work is done to tell you how great they WOULD have been.

[MrBombastic16]

@kpdsza Agreed lol

[catonmtn]

dont you just like it when someone else can do it better???????????

[skidoorevman]

man i could plow better with my 3020 you suck

[BrodyFarmBoy]

@skidoorevman dude through a 6ft snow drift???? And not to mention there is probably frozen gravel or dirt underneath
