it really all depends on your equipment. i run a larger tractor than you, but i used to run a b2400. when i used that it took more planning than the L3800 i use now. but in general, i start the season, blowing as far as the blower send it, i only move it up to clear the edge, and keep going...

I go to Walmart and buy a bottle of cheap ceramic car coating. That stuff they advertise on YouTube that shows a guy squirting out on his car and then nothing sticks. I do that. Lasts the whole season. Nothing sticks. I've never had a clogged chute since I started doing it

i like your setup man. i run a l3800 with a 60" woodmaxx. i'm at about 7000' on the back of the wasatch range in utah (typically light and fluffy if i can beat the county plows around). i clear snow from about 25 driveways/storm. i've been doing it for the past 10 years commercially (and...

well i bought some baffin eiger boots. they showed up yesterday, and they were waaaay too (%#&)*^% small! i had read all the advice about ordering them a size larger, so i did. i normally wear a 10, so i bought 11s. i need frickin 13s! i reordered, and returned the too small ones (waiting...

i recently changed tractors. my old one didn't have one, but it would have been nice from time to time, especially when using bucket forks. the new tractor has quick attach, but my view, and feel with all the various attachments is limited. so i built my own. i also have an adjustable top...

Sometimes my butt gets cold, but it's usually when i forgot to flip my seat up before it snowed. my suit is a few years old, and i need to spray it again. my sorels are something like 35 years old, they aren't cutting it. i was looking at them the other day, and the rubber at the toe is all split.

i typically use a set of fleece thermals, under an occumex hi-vis snowsuit. wool socks, and my old dead sorels (which i want to replace). up top, i have a fleece balaclava, hi-vis hood. hands i have a set of heated gloves the wife bought me last year. the gloves are supposed to be touch...

I have some heated gloves the wife bought for me a few years back. They last about 4 hours. But the batteries are a bit clunky. I have Reynaud's syndrome, so my fingers and toes are always suffering. Maybe electric is the way to go

That's that I have now. I've been reading reviews and from all I can tell, they don't make 'em like they used to. I'm looking at Baffin Selkirks. Anyone have experience with them?

i run my high all the time. i only turn it off when traveling between driveways. running high is great for moving tall snow piles, like roof dumps. hit it high, then drop it and hit it low. i've been doing this for 10 years, no big problems with the driveshaft or the tractor.

i need new boots. i do snow removal in an open station Kubota L3800. i spend about 2 hours a day when it snows clearing neighborhood driveways. i have a pretty decent snow suit, balaclava, heated gloves, etc. but my 30 year old sorels aren't cutting it anymore. my toes are solid chunks of...

usually when dealers put in calcium chloride, they pump it into tire tubes to avoid the corrosion issue. i've had it in my old B2400 for 26 years with no issues. putting it in tires without tubes is just irresponsible. the only way to know for sure, and to fix it, it to drain the tires, and...

i upgraded last fall, i'm looking to sell my old rig. '96 Kubota B2400HST with 60" snowking 600 3pt blower. ~1100hrs on the tractor. tractor looks a little rough, but runs great. Snowblower needs a little TLC. comes with 54" mower deck and bagger, chains, and bucket forks. PM if interested.

here you go. i made them about every 3/8" and about 3/8" deep (10mmx10mm for people happier with metric)

i clear about 20 driveways. until last year, i used a kubota b2400 with soft cab, and a 60" farm king snowblower, and a bucket on the front. i'm in PC utah (~300" annually - light an fluffy except for early and late snowfalls). almost all my driveways are asphalt of concrete, only one gravel...
