Default A short snow plowing video

Please excuse my uber professional camera operation but as you all know, I was trying to drive, film, raise/lower blade, adjust speed, and pick my nose all at the same time so the video is what I could get one handed. I normally go a bit faster but since I was filming, I didn't want to get up some speed then find something nice and hard under to snow to smack into.

Anywho, the video is of me getting the last bits cleared off at work. The part I'm cleaning is a walk path for residents to use when the weather is nice but in the winter it doubles as a short-cut for me to get from the back of the building to the front instead of driving all the way around the large building on public roads. I had already been in once that day to clear things off but we got a few more flurries combined with some decent wind so a second trip was necessary. The video starts off with me trying to show my volt meter and switch panel (can't see the panel, too dark) in the cab then pans out front where I switch on the lights and get to work. I really love having built up the machine I have over the years for use at my job, I couldn't imagine being out in the elements for hours at a time clearing things off like the good cooperate office intended

Hope you enjoy the video, guys!

PS If you enjoy the video, let me know. A friend and I are debating trying to get some basic filming equipment and getting a youtube channel going with tractor (well, mostly Cub) videos, how to's, etc.
