Using the Bobcat Utility Vehicle for Snow Removal

you just have a lot of control [Music] i mean it was you felt like you were on uh ice skating rink on wobbly wheels right you were just like get me off this this thing this has got white it's got i mean this is this is because when i saw you running it and you were putting it pushing a pretty impressive pile of snow i just got to say and then i'm like how is he getting any control out of that thing right because i've seen them i've actually yeah i've actually tried mowers that have plows on them and they they're terrible yeah it would probably be a little bit better if you didn't have suspension on the boss this has got suspension front and back and that's one of the reasons why i have to have the weights on the back so show me the suspension so we know exactly what you're talking about that's what you call suspension two three inches of travel on each wheel and they've got the same thing on the back wheels which is really nice on my rough yard when you're mowing okay but uh here i'd get i get a little bit too much squat on the front when i picked up the plow and the way these casters were on this model year when it would flip from front to back it tries to lift a quarter inch and so you're trying to lift this entire plow out here when you turn because the caster needs to rotate and they didn't want to turn very well because there's too much weight on the front wheels so how did you solve that we got almost 400 pounds on the back behind the wheels and now the front is basically coating on the flowers i mean there's no weight so you've balanced the machine out by adding the rear counterweights where did you get those from i bought them online i think they're i don't even know what brand tractor they're from they're probably an ih thing but i just needed something that i could easily hang on there one of the things that some guys don't have that puck style suspension and if they're going to try to do this it actually i think would end up being better because really you don't like that float with the plow right but it runs a utv with the big brother of this plow yeah and that one weighs about 500 pounds and the problem he constantly has is with the big travel on the big utvs now you pick it up and the front just goes to the bottom that's what i was saying like if like i've seen mowers that have a pretty complicated suspension system in the front and in my mind i'm thinking that's not gonna fit a set up like this you want something you want less less is more…
