How do you plow snow?

Can someone show us “fake” snow as opposed to “real” snow?

Up until this winter, I've used my open cab bucket with shoes. Wife wanted an option for her, just in case. UTV with 5' plow does well in the couple of powder storms we've had so far, nothing more than 6". I imagine breaking out the tractor mid winter to move banks back a bit.

Upgraded to an 8' Woods Rear Blade a few years ago.

When I first bought the land, I plowed the private road with a 7' Western plow, modified to fit the FEL on my open station Kubota L3010HST. As I got older, the exposure to Winter weather began to take it's toll on my arthritis and I switched to a 7 1/2' plow on a pickup.

When it came time to replace the truck in 2021, I was going to transfer the plow from the old truck to the new one but changed my mind when I wrote the check. New pickup trucks are just too dang expensive to beat up by plowing snow.

Instead, I traded my Kubota L6060HST open station for an L6060HSTC cabbed version and started using an 8' LandPride FEL plow.

My latest upgrade was to swap the Fressori ash spreader with a self loading HLA scatter shot aggregate spreader.

Due to the economy during the Covid years, the low hours & miles on the trades and their excellent condition, I got great deals on both the truck & tractor. The total cost for both trades was just under $16K. Well worth the cost since these old bones can now plow & spread anti skid without leaving the comfort of the heated cab.

I don't post here much as I really mainly use my tractor to clear the drive but, I have used it for smoothing out the yard after getting the lean-to built and reclaiming the parking area from grass along the edges. This will be my second year with this.

Real snow is when we have to shovel the roof.

I've seen lots of fake snow on TV.

In the last 5 years I've used this, after trying ATV, truck with a plow etc. 2019 TYM T474 with a 2.3l inline 4 n/a mechanical injected diesel with 48.3Hp. VERY satisified with this machine. Currently 625h on it.
