Well I have been using the rear blade to push snow in the years past. Got this snow push last year, and I cant believe I didnt have one of these before. This unit works so much easier than the blade. I have a gravel driveway and this surprisingly doesnt bother the gravel very much at all when pushing snow off. Plus I had it painted to match the tractor when I ordered it.

Looks like good thick steel. How wide is it?

They make it several sizes, I went with the 5 foot version. The outfit I bought this thru, is a metal fabrication shop, so they do offer one in 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 foot widths. Man this thing is heavy duty steel. It weighs like 620lbs, the FEL handles it okay, but you know have some weight out there.

Looks like a nice pusher. What size is your tractor you are using it with?

Nice, heavy duty implement. I use a HD Rhino rear blade on my M6040. Rolls the snow right off the driveway. I clear my mile long gravel driveway, mailbox area and yard with the rear blade.

Sengli, didn't the dealer tell you when you purchased the pusher that the snowfall would no longer happen. It happened to me whenever I installed my whole house generator because we were losing power at least monthly after the install the power grid has been very dependable. Go figure!:)

Lack of snow? I thought the same thing, but last year we got a multiple storms where about 6 to 8 inches plus inches dropped. I have a 250 foot driveway, and it drifted pretty good. The pusher worked a lot easier than the rear blade did, for a couple of reasons. Best reason was I didnt have to back up, to push the snow. My neighbors really liked the fact I wanted to play with my new tractor, and snow push. I did their driveways too. And I could move the snow in my t-shirt in the heated cab while listening to the radio. My open station I had before worked great, but it did get mighty snowy on occasion.
