How do you plow snow?

Inertia is a good thing!
Once he started the side to side jiggle (while bellied out) it can quickly end. Forward progress that is.
I didn't notice any kind of plow on that tractor!

My wife and I were watching the weather forecast, and I told her "It looks like you can expect to get a good 3 inches tonight." I thought it was funnier than she did.

Maybe she would laughed if you told to expect a good 8 inches.

We're at camp tonight and found 2+ feet of new snow here. Was rubbing the bottom of the 6x6 as I pushed it around. Will post pics when we get home.

Been wondering how a UTV plow was going to deal with your situation. I know mine was not great once it got over 12", but I do not have a lot of patience. Broke two shear pins on mine.

Love following your write ups. Makes me wish I was 30 years younger, but this old man needs things that take less effort.

Trust me, I can't do 1/2 the things I could, even 5 years ago. None of the plows we've owned have had sear pins. Looking for some plow to add to the 4x4 atv we are supposed to pick up Monday.

Assuming you mean the NH tractor then no. They were just plowing through the snow but it made for some good video. Now the dozer in the next clip, that baby was moving some snow!

We decided the base here is 3+ foot at camp and pulling slash into the woods has near impossible. Our 6x6 can still tootle around in that snow with its low, low psi but getting hungup on unseen objects becomes the issue. When we plow, we are near idle and never get out of low range for most of the winter. So its using its traction to push the plow. While going reasonably slow and on a atv, its easy to see your blade and miss things you didn't want to bite, like a building. But of course in soft, deep, snow that hids everything you still find that boulder. I've never plowed with a rubber tire equipped machine.
