On July 31, 2022 many photographers enjoyed a full day of riding the rails, traveling though the beautiful countryside of Western New York. Our journey began at 0900 hours in Gowanda, NY. as the train shoved west to prepare for an eastbound run by as shown in the first clip of this video. After the run by, passengers boarded the train for a quick two minute ride east to detrain at the Cattaraug...
John Deere X380 with 44" Snowblower And a Tire Chain Wreaking Havoc With Traction
Переглядів 27 тис.2 роки тому
John Deere X380 with 44" snowblower attachment cuts though some deep end of driveway snow and ice while struggling to gain traction. It wasn't until AFTER THE VIDEO WAS SHOT I noticed one tire chain on the right side had twisted around, again. I'll be trying bungee cords next to try and keep everything where it should......AGAIN....I didn't know the chain was not right until AFTER the video was...
John Deere X380 Triumphs Over Deep Snow

John Deere X380 battles though deep snow with a 44" snowblower on a very cold January day. I woke up around 6:30am to heavy lake effect snow coming in from Lake Erie. We got well over a foot by the time it had let up. As you'll see, Mother Nature put up a good fight!
John Deere X380 Fights Deep Snow

Recorded on January 17, 2022 I got my John Deere X380 out to clean the driveway. I ended up having to piece two cleanings to appear as one. The first recording I couldn't hold the phone and operate the tractor, as seen in the start up when I dropped it. The first cleaning had well over one foot. Second was only a few inches.

Nice horn salute at the end
I have 4 -6 ft of snow on top of my 70 ft driveway, after a spring blizzard, that's deep.
I'm happy for you!

Do you find the snowblower clogs up at all like regular snowblowers do? Thanks
It has never once clogged up on me, it’s a great machine. Thanks for watching!
YOUR CHAINS are falling OFF!!!!!
You don’t say. Maybe the caption of the video would have clued you in to that. I didn’t know they were falling off until I watched the footage.
Thanks for Sharing
I have the JD 44" blower mounted on my LA115, it's worked *GREAT* for more than ten years in the southern Ontario (Canada) winters! Broke *ONE* belt so far, and have spares, just in case. My driveway isn't super long, but we do get an occasional *BIG* dump of snow, and when that happens, the neighbors are *super* happy that I and Martha (My Deere) are here to dig them out! Best wishes, everyone!
Nice work 👏 👌
Du starter i den forkerte side, så nr 2 band sne over på den 1 bane så lave dobbelt arbejde 😅
wow looks like you a re getting a bunch of snow...where are you from?(state) thanks.:)
New York. No snow yet, this video is from last year.
Great footage, I know I've seen that dog before but I can't quite put my finger on it 😂
Awesome footage!
Thank you, Eric!
@Don55443 You're welcome Don! 😊
Looks like Mr. Rogers was having a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Nice job!
Thanks. Do we know each other?
I have an x300 and I’m considering getting a snow blower for that to clear snow. Do you know what model number the snow blower is so I can search for one? Thanks
Bought my x390 back in February 2023. Blows snow good.. But mine goes through belts like crazy.. From Feb to April I bet I blew out 4-5 belts.

Beautiful! Got the same tractor. That blower would be a great purchase, along with the cabin. Do the skids adjust? My gravel driveway is a pain for my current machine.
Yep. Skids and possibly cutting edge can be adjusted.
Heavy duty zip ties also work well to keep chains tensioned and in place....
Great video and you've shown exceptional patience answering questions and tolerating the knucklehead at the bottom of the comments section. Good advice on plow vs. blower. Plows don't work well unless there is a lot of weight to provide traction. Better to blow it once and never touch it again.
Thank you for the kind words. Responding to some does take a great deal of patience! I enjoy anytime I get to spend in the seat. The blower is a beast and I have a ball using it. However, I have it off the tractor now with my fingers crossed I won't need it until next winter. I'll see about maybe getting some grass cutting videos to see if I can find those critics! ;) Thanks again for watching. Cheers!!
I wouldn't call that deep snow at all. I'd love to see one of these videos with snow that is really deep (like a foot or more) and the end of the driveway with at least double that from the road being plowed. That's a little snow where I live and doing it before the snow plow has been around is totally unrealistic.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ll be sure to ask Mother Nature for more snow next time I want to make a video! Cheers!!
Got my x390... Came with chains, weights, the 54" deck and 44" blower came green, not yellow like your x380... Only thing yellow on my setup is the wheels and seat. Very nice riding machine.. I will probably get the cab yet. Still getting used to pressing yellow button to back up.
Congrats on your purchase! I was at my local John Deere dealer a couple weeks ago and noticed attachments are now green. If you can get some video, I'd be interested in seeing it in action.
Since I commented last, I had a snowblower installed on my X380 and it's absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing your video... from Duluth MN, Andrew.
That's great, congrats!! You're going to have a ton of fun. I look forward to seeing some video!!
Do you have a block heater on that?
no
Coal everywhere
I want there in 2022
My Craftsman tractor has a Kohler 7000 series 22 horsepower 725cc V Twin engine..use a two stage snow blower
That x3 worked great in that deep of snow! My x500 doesn't do any better and I have more than 370lbs of extra weight on it not including myself, I thought yours performed pretty darn good!
It's a great machine. Thanks for watching!
Real benefit of the X500 series is the locking differential which is gold when needed
@@mattdeilke1142 totally agree. This can be a pain during snow season. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video... Currently looking at a new x390 54" deck and 44" blower.. Not very many videos on the x390 in snow.. But the x380 has the same engine and mostly the same setup. Looks like it has no troubles with clearing out a deep driveway.
Nice setup, works great. Its amazing how important rear weights and chains are. Especial straight, secure chains :).
Great video and replies. I have an X380 and was debating between a blade or blower. I live in Duluth MN so we get 1" - 24"... what's the most it could through for both plow and blower?
Hello! The X380 is a great machine with plenty of power. Though It does have some limitations when it comes to snow. I'm about 30 minutes south of Buffalo, NY and we get hammered with several feet of snow. Getting a snowblower was the only way to go for me. After considerable time spent in the seat moving snow around, I don't believe the tractor has what it takes to push though any deep snow with the blade. The engine has the power but traction is its largest opponent. A couple things to consider: Is the snow light and fluffy or heavy and wet? Is your driveway flat or on a hill? My driveway, in the video, is on an ever so slight up hill climb to the road, so minor it can't be seen in the video. Even with that slight incline the tractor has a hard time getting traction to push through, that's why I have to make a cut to the road and work back to the house so I'm working on the downgrade. Another thing to consider with a blade is each time you want to push the snow in a different direction, left, right, center, you'll have to get off the tractor, pull a pin and manually adjust the blade. Everything is done from the seat with the snowblower I vote you go with the blower. Regardless the direction you decide to go, be sure to get chains and weights, dress warm and have fun!! I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
@@Don55443 thanks Don!! I should have said, we get 1" - 24" in one snowfall, but annually we get at least 81". I think a snowblower is warranted at this point.
Wow, great footage Don!
Thanks, Eric! Hope you're staying warm.
@@Don55443 You're welcome! I'm trying to! lol
@@ericcoffedgp40 That's all you can do! :)

Ex VIA 6758 FPA2u
X580 here in southern Erie county NY. Love the power (hydraulic) steering and lift. 3rd season. Had x530 before, for 10 years. recommend the ‘weather enclosure’ (cab). I will never understand why so many insists on blowing across area already cleared??? Makes no sense. Too much backing and followup time.??? Blowing into the road?? Poor planning!
I'm also in southern Erie county, (Eden). If you're referring to me blowing snow across one pass is because the driveway is on a slight uphill to the road. The tractor has a hard time cutting though the end of the driveway left from the county plows. I cut one path to the road so I can work downhill. Because of the house and landscaping, I can't blow snow to the left of the video - causing me to have to blow it over the path I just cut, into a large open yard. Hopefully this helps and makes sense. Thanks for your comment! Go Bills!
👀 The chains on the right tire are falling off! 🙄
Yes I know - thank you. Hence the title of the video. 🙄
Good job
Thank you
thanks gentelmen! great video!
have these been retrofitted for block heaters? do they use either assit...how long till they reach op. temp.?
They're put on heat at night in the winter months to keep the water from freezing. No either. Depends how hard they're being worked before they reach temp. When taken off heat, they're always warm. This video is unusual as we started them cold. Thanks for watching!
@@Don55443 good info...thanks!
I also have a 370 with the 44" blower, 2 weights and a gravel driveway goes uphill 25 feet out of the garage. Last winter I had traction problems and was going to add 2 more weights but found a video on UA-cam about Rim Guard which is beet juice and it goes in the rear tires. It weighs 12 lbs per gallon and the 370 rear tires take 6 gallons each or 72 lbs per tire. The cost was $3.50 per gallon but it was only $1 more per gallon to have it done by the dealer so it came to $54 + tax. I jacke up the back end and took the tires off and brought them in since I don't have a trailer. It was easy getting them off and in the truck at 35 lbs each but had to roll them off with a ramp and up to the tractor. Then adjusted the tractor height to line up the axel and wheel - no lifting of anything needed. So far it's working well and I've had no slippage but we haven't had freezing rain then snow like last year or a major snowfall yet. I also replaced the skids with Armor Skids which you can see at snowblowerskids.com or Home Depot.
I have an x370 with the 44 in snow blower and even with 4 weights and chains it won't go very well on a gravel surface. I'm going to replace the chains with vbar chains and see if it is any better. If not, I'll sell or trade it in on something else.
I have a blacktop driveway and have the same issue. Good luck and hope you’re able to get it figured out. Thanks for watching!
@@Don55443 It will be awhile......colder than hell and lots of snow and I don't have a garage to change the chains in.
I have a JD x580. Watched a few videos the last few days. In this video..started on right then blew snow from the left over the previously blown path. Why not start on the left??? And blow from both directions to reduce backing.
There are a few reasons why. The driveway is at a slight incline going to the road. That believe it or not, makes it hard for the tractor to get traction. For this reason I have to make my first path to the road so I can work back to the house, using the down hill in my favor. Reason I blow the snow in the direction I blow is so that I'm not blowing it into the house. Blowing snow over the one pass I made to the road can't be avoided. In addition, the reason I start on the right side rather than the left is because of where the tractor has to come out of the garage. I know this might seem to not make scene but it's the only way it can be done. Thanks for watching.
Just bought a new 350 with a blower 4 weights and chains. I do more than just my own driveway so hoping it works as good as yours! Maybe a 700 next year if I can afford it but looks like the open diff and chains does just fine. Keep the videos coming!
I'd love to see video of your new toy in action! A 700 series would be amazing to have. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet with something bigger. Thanks for checking out my channel. Cheers!
Think you so much for that Information
Of course. I've been using it all day as I'm in the Buffalo, NY area. We're getting hammered with this storm right now. The tractor is handling everything I've thrown at it. I'm about to go back out to clean the driveway, again! Cheers
How much did you pay for tha snow blower and chains...because iam thinking about buying a new x390
Two suitcase weights, tire chains and 44" blower ran about $2,000.....worth every penny!
Just got a new 44” blower, wheel weights, 4 rear hanging weights & chains at my JD dealer - $1700 installed. They ‘threw-in’ a brush guard as well.
@@misterl2875 that’s fantastic, congrats!! You’ll have a lot of fun while saving your back.
Im in the market to purchase. Had no idea a lawn tractor was so capable with snow removal. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome machine, you’ll love it.
Should've gotten a x500 series with rear locking differential 😏
shouldvr gotten a 2000 series blah blah blah
Shoulda gotten a kubota
Great footage,sure does bring back a lot of good memories when I worked for Dingman.Good times.Does he still own the railroad?
Have you considered a In closure?
Yes, every single time the wind and snow whips around and hits me in the face! Lol
I have the same tractor 🚜 what is the snowblower attachment model number. And how much will it set me back. Trying to prep for my first Northwest Pennsylvania winter. Just relocated from Vegas. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hello, good choice on the X380, you'll be very happy with it. It's a 44" snowblower. Your John Deere dealer will know. I'm in NY and got mine from Land Pro. You might also have Land Pro in PA, I know they cover a few states. My recommendation for add-ons, tire chains are a must, you won't go though even a couple inches of snow w/out them. The other thing are suitcase weights for the back. I have two now and will be buying two more. My last suggestion is to spend some money on really good winter clothes, you'll need them. I've been on my tractor when it's -10 degrees, it can be brutal. Hope this helps thanks for watching.
