John Deere 60″ Snow Thrower on a JD 1585

It’s fixed! And best of all the fix held up to 10″ of snow. This is a follow-up to two other videos I have on plowing with a broom and plowing with a broken snow thrower on my John Deere 1585. Having two augers working, instead of one, makes a huge difference! Who would have thought?

The JD HD 60″ snow thrower is still much slower than the broom, but it can handle a lot of snow. Best of all the spout lets me place the snow where I want it, throw it over guard rails, and build snow forts for the kids!

Enjoy the video and be sure to check out the other videos of my snow plowing endeavors with the JD 1585, it will help you better understand the journey I have been through 🙂

As always, subscribe if you feel compelled. It makes a huge difference for a fledgling YouTube creator like myself. Thanks!

The Fun and Fast Way to Snowplow – John Deere 1585

I have a JD 1500 series front mount mower, the 1585 with AWD, that I purchased a snow thrower, 72″ rear discharge mower deck, and a HD 60″ broom with…I find I almost always use the broom for snow removal. The broom allows me to travel at a fast speed but it starts to get overwhelmed if the snow is 4″ deep or more, so, sometimes it requires multiple times out plowing. The broom is gentle on the driveway, but I would not recommend for gravel driveways as it will remove your gravel quickly. As a bonus, the broom is very handy to clear leaves with in the fall. Take a look for yourself and see what you think. If we start getting tons of snow I will put a video up of the snow thrower too.
