How do you plow snow?

Gee, many of you folks are pushing snow, we'd leave.

I use my grandfather's old 3010 with an 8' Woods blade on back. Cab is ... not heated

Kubota L4060HSTC with a 9 foot Meyers I bought for $450.00 from a guy that picked it up at a MD state equipment auction. I fabbed up the mount for the tractor and I use the loader valve to angle and raise the blade. The drive in mount is raised with the rear remote I normally use for controlling the grapple.
I keep the box blade on which is handy for cleaning up while backing.

We get a lot of heavy wet stuff here and I found that a loader mounted blade tended to push the tractor around dues to the "lever" effect of the loader's length.

B3030 Hydro/Cab with 63" front mount snowblower. I will never* plow a driveway that butts up to nice lawn/gardens - too much damage repair required to offset the time savings (JMO).

*Unless I absolutely have to for some reason...

I have over a mile of gravel road and a couple of driveways to plow. When the ground is frozen and I have a hard packed snow road established I use my 2001 Ram 3500 with a 9' Fisher straight plow. It is fast, warm, and can throw snow over the banks.

When things are soft or I want to push back banks or at the end of the season when the banks are too high and the road too narrow for the 9' straight truck plow I use my M5640 with a 7.5' Fisher.

ReHabbed and SetBack 7.5' Fisher on M5640

We have an 800' driveway in the woods with no place to heap the snow so a 3 pt blower on a Cub Cadet SC2400 (subcompact). Oh yeah, we are on the south shore of Lake Superior with its lake effect snow.

Neighbor asked, "Why do you used a skid steer to clear your driveway?" Because I have one.

3rd tractor [Mahindra 2645], 2nd blower [LandPride 60some" wth hydraulic chute rotation. All I need yet to do is put on the rear chains. Just east of the last big lake, we typically get 120" over the winter [sometimes from both Erie and Ontario at the same time!] You oughta hear the neighbors cheer when I bring this puppy out to play in the neighborhood.

We used a Moose and bent it. We found all atv blades to be on the lighter side.

Not surprising, given what you are pushing it with.
