If the snow gets any deeper I’ll be shopping for a bigger Kubota! IMG_1112.JPGIMG_1113.JPG

Ours keeps melting before I can touch it. Had 4 inches yesterday. Bare ground by the time I got off work tonight.

It's deep around here, 5ft in the woods and more on the way, the deer are yarded up across the street under the pines, I don't normally feed them but I bought a pallet of feed to help them through the next month or so, boy are they thankful for the food.. They were looking pretty rough..

Yup, a blower would be the answer for that driveway..

I'd be looking for a 3-point blower. I'd say you have just about reached the limit of your current tractor and rear blade. My Kubota M6040 with its heavy duty rear blade could probably push it wider but it wouldn't be fun.

My Kubota with grapple, loaded rear tires and heavy duty rear blade weighs 10,100#. But there are limits even with it.

Had an opportunity to play with the plow yesterday. About 4" of very dense snow with a drizzle going on. This is a shot from the cab of one of our church's parking lots at about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. Still waiting for some real snow.

I'm sure we're talking about the same snow. Atglen is just over the border into Chester county. I didn't go out last night. Didn't feel like getting wet, plus it was dark by the time I was done work thanks to the clouds.

Beautiful. Skiers south of Vermont have been a frustrated bunch this year. Snow always followed by rain and then ice. I think you are a good candidate for a 6ft snow blower. There are MANY on the market and many used if you shop around. Of course off-season is a better time to do that unless you have a compelling desire to to do it up right this season. Up there you probably have a good month of snow season left, sometimes more.
