Martin snow blower down a 300-400 foot lane, including a homemade baffle mod. Good for existing owners curious how a blade-and-blower combo handles tough, icy conditions in daily use.
Posted by Grampie's Workshop, an owner sharing casual, unscripted footage of his own tractor work rather than a polished or dealer-style review.
He holds the glow plugs for 15 seconds, kicks the starter over without starting to draw warm air into the cylinders, then adds 5 more seconds before starting.
It works great and blows a lot of snow, but you must go slow in low range 4WD with high RPMs since high range could not push through.
A piece of galvanized steel across the opening into the impeller keeps snow from flying back out the front into the augers, giving a better clear.
There was about a half inch of ice on top, powdery snow beneath, then two inches of slush, causing the wheels to spin and making it a full day's work.
