Grading Below zero - improvised snow blade trick

[snowbound]

It's about as cold as it ever gets around here. The TC-35D started up with no problem.

On the other hand, the hydraulic quick disconnects seem frozen, and I couldn't budge them so I couldn't take off the plow to put the bucket on the loader. I could probably figure out a way to make that happen but it was too cold to hang around trying this and that. So I went over to what I was going to use the bucket for and figured out how to clear the snow using the plow in reverse to pull the snow out to where I could blade it away. It worked better than I thought it would - well enough to get the job done.

Nice. I haven't touched my 33d in a week, had it out last weekend to scrape some ice (using the loader, works surprisingly well to rough the ice enough to drive over it..).. It complained bitterly in the 0 +/- temps..
