looking for snow pusher feedback for 35hp tractor

Not yet, but its on the list. All I need is time and money.

:laughing:my list is always ahead of me too. I just try to stay close enough to keep it in sight.

Thanks CJ. I like this: "All of our products are made with pride in Michigan with American made materials." I'll be checking into them further. How long have you had your pusher?

On my second season, clear about 4-5 drives and 1 large parking lot. It is holding up great, the only thing I will change is making the length of the sides longer. My tractor chained up will push a lot of snow so lengthening them will benefit me. CJ

No, not yet. Its a perfect time of year to get feedback on them and help narrow down the size/capacity, but I figure the best time for negotiating will come after the leaves are budding on the trees.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed feedback so far.

That's impressive. Can I ask how tall and deep the sides are?

According to the website it is 30"x30" on the side plates and 32" tall. We got 14" or so of snow in the last 2 days and I can almost use a 36" tall one. I will extend the sides out to 40-44" this summer. I would buy this unit again, pleased so far. If you go to the web site and click on the 6' it will give you the spec. CJ

Thanks CJ. I just took another look at their site and see those dimensions are listed. So that works out to basically a 50 cu. ft. box currently, and if you go to 42x30 it'll increase to 70 cu. ft. That helps.

The difference in our tractors is basically that yours has one more cylinder in the engine which gives it 49 gross hp vs. my 38, the weights are close. I would think that your experience with a 49hp pushing their 50 cu. ft. box should correlate closely to my 38hp tractor pushing their 6 ft pusher, which would be basically a 37.5 cu ft. box.

I think you will find its more about weight and traction then horsepower. Mine is a 6ft and only 27hp and I lose traction before it bogs down.

Agreed, I have loaded tires with 2 link V-bar chains and a 1100lb box blade so I am heavy to say the least. Traction is the key, horsepower will help you to get the work done faster to a point but weight/traction IS the most important thing. CJ
