[losantrax50]

[weasel884]

some day my kinds gonna do that! and it might be with a 60 year old skid steer too! (mines 35 years old already)

[flipskatter678]

give the kid a break god damn nice job kid keep it up....soon if you stick with i tyou can make good money

[TheDirtBikeMan23]

[MVRTA108]

This kid gets to use this machine !!!!!!! He is very lucky :)

[wilatemodel]

the kid is better than some of the dumbasses i work with,...parents should be proud!

[rwolfert1]

This is very good plowing your son did.I have a snowplowing video to.It had a big excavator doing the plowing.It made a big mountain of snow on my street.then they removed it and I have a video of that too.Very cool

[awojtacki]

Machine is giving a code, that's the beeping. Not bad for a tooth bucket, I'd expect much more leftover than that.

[josh216882000]

That machine throwing a code?

[farmer864]

kid does a decent job running it. although its best not to run the loader full power. it is easier on your hydraulics, bushing, pins and its just better overall not to

[TheGunner1021]

Are you stopeid you shoud not you us a tooth buket ass hole

[farmer864]

@TheGunner1021 if you got ice, it makes it much easier

[cummins881996]

@TheGunner1021 learn how to spell asshole and they probably didn't have anything else

[smokininthewoods1]

There's really not a lot going on in Pennsylvania....huh?

[LincolnSP150]

I would suggest a little warm up time, and less engine rpm. Way to much revs for the job at hand. That will increase the life of the engine as well.

[LincolnSP150]

I would suggest a little and throttle it back a bit. Way to much RPM. This will teach him to be a good operator.

[maalketh34]

dang kid! keep on goin your doin good. im 15 and only have a ford skid steer its an old one and one of the cylinders was bent on it. so i fixed it but i still want to try it on snow.

[fox13z400]

well u gotta give him credit he's learning

[bobcats330]

i work for a bobcat skidsteer dealer in oklahoma and in the winter we get more ice than snow. we scoop off snow a little but i just take forklift and tilt forks forward and set on ground and boogie. breaks ice off ground and move with buckets. we sell a jillion bucket edges also and i HATE installing them. removal is the kicker, theyre worn out and generally have to be lopped off with torch, then set the new one on ground with a bolt thru holes and drop bucket on it.

[JOHNDEERE1234567890]

First of all for clearing snow with a bucket u need a bucket without the teeth so u can scrape the ground better

[GotBait]

Great vid. Check out my channel to see my 773 with a meyers 7ft truck blade attached. I did the bucket deal for a couple years then stepped up to the truck blade & cut my plow time by over half. It works great & I can stack snow 12ft high with my setup. I ordered a bobtach plate & fabbed my own mounts on it.

[tscholent]

When that kid hurts himself or somebody else...that father is going to rethink his M.O. for the rest of his life.90 % of all HD accidents happen in construction and farms.

[GotBait]

@tscholent I have over 2000hrs operating bobcats & that kid is doing just fine. I bet you are against the gal sailing around the world also. Sux to be your kid all wrapped in foam pads with kleenex stuffed up each nostril

[beyondupnorth]

@GotBait Better to raise him in a rubber room so he does not know how not to hurt himself until you turn him loose at 18? I doubt thats the first time that kid drove that skid or that his fathers only instructions were to tuck his boots in. My sons is 6 and has been plowing snow with me since he could stand (not walk) between my knees.

He will be pushing snow soon and by the time he gets his drivers licence he will have some understanding of the laws of physics

[GotBait]

@beyondupnorth I am guessing you were replying to @tscholent's comment.

@beyondupnorth I am very much Pro getting the kids operating equipment at the youngest possible age. I learned so much as a kid just watching dad & others. Thats great that you are training your son he will be amazed how much he picked up over the years when it's his turn to fly solo. Kids need to be exposed to this stuff otherwise like you say they wont know anything when unleased on the world at age 18. Snow coming soon!

[rentsikas]

I hate that, when I work, and someone films or takes picture of me.

[strassj]

U need to replace from tooth to straight on bucket.

[cutterdowner]

i agree with liltrout14 i dont know any kids that use bobcats and this kid is lucky to even have one

[liltrout14]

You guys come up with the stupidest things to bitch about just let them have fun.

[DamnStraightM35A2]

also I see no need to have the motor revved up at full song...it works just as good at half speed

[DamnStraightM35A2]

skid steers totally suck in all off camber snow situations, got mine stuck twice yesterday....they also don't work good in over a foot of snow....

[GotBait]

@DamnStraightM35A2 I chain up on the back & never get stuck here in Alaska with my 773. sound like you are experiancing the effects of operator error ;)

[DamnStraightM35A2]

@GotBait I don't chain, when the snow compacts after driving on it it turns to ice, without chains its difficult to operate on a hill.....

[zanzderf1]

what does 773 stand for ??

[heavyequipment2009]

thats mean makin yer kid do all the work in a open cab that should be yer job

[czarandmaeve]

nice spin at 2:46

[dkchapss]

god damn give the kid a break for his age he is pretty good and u gotta use what u got

[TIGERCAT660]

@dkchapss wtf, hes horrible, im his age and i plow drive ways all over my town, i plow the fucking side walks all over the town and he cant even go in a strait line

[dkchapss]

@TIGERCAT660 well good for you do u want a cookie or something maybe he doesn't have as much experience as you. there isn't very many kids that even do this shit anymore

[tuber242424]

i dont know why you would use that bucket to push snow with......

[DamnStraightM35A2]

what else are you gonna use?

[tuber242424]

a blade thats made for pushing snow...... you dont use a toothed bucket to push snow....

[DamnStraightM35A2]

i agree that a toothed bucket makes it hard...I am using a bucket with a straight edge, it works pretty good...it doesn't work bad enough to make me want a plow

[hudyfootball]

Caterpillar Skid Steers are way better. That Bobcat must be older, since it didnt even have the enclosed cab. Next time get a Cat and you wont have to dress warm because Cats are enclosed and heated. And easier to operate!

[Troysthebest]

Personal Preference and not all Cat skidsteers have enclosed cabs either.

I have to say the Cat and ASV machines are by far my favorite though.

Also not sure why you're using a tooth bucket for snow, must be all they had available at the time?

[sarahhx3babee]

I like Cat the most, then Bobcat. I'd have to agree that its stupid he is using a tooth bucket.

[eureka800]

@Troysthebest enclosed cabs are better cuz they have heating and cooling

[maalketh34]

@eureka800 pussy

[mkooms01]

@hudyfootball and its really expensive to just buy a new one, duh, maybe u have balls loads of $ but some ppl dont!

[rolldani]

beep, beep, beep sounds like you have a fault code.

[101dunerider]

i want to do tht

[acz370]

i did the same this summer with my uncles old 742 bobcsat its awsome.

[grassman1818]

my son das the sme stuff looks the same age i own a bussinness i would recomend removing the teeth before rpping up your driveway

[132rickyownu]

great video

[swankfarms]

thankyou it is alot of fun

[eureka800]

@swankfarms he did such a good job

[eureka800]

@swankfarms hey someone just spammed

[sanitaire800]

@swankfarms is his dad getting a new skidsteer?

[barriejimmy]
