I got my front end sunk down to the axle the other day while filling in a low/damp area. Tooth bar on the FEL backed me right out. had a pretty muddy tractor to clean though.

Yeah, I figured you got out pretty well. I just figured I would share my using snow to get you out of snow trick. I was a bit surprised when that first worked for me.

Want to post pictures of the snow blade you are using and tell me what you think of it? I have the same tractor and was considering something like that.

Sure thing... Its a HLA 2000 Series 7 1/2' snow plow. I opted for the 7 1/2' because I my driveway is uphill from the house. I didnt want something too big that I would be fighting in the snow drifts that blow across the fields than drift up on the driveway. At full angle the plow clears the full width of the tractor, so there are no issues clearing snow. It has a 1 1/2" lateral float with trip springs, making it forgiving when you hit the odd rock or whatever else comes out of hiding. I ran a set of hoses from the rear remotes for the power angle instead of installing a true third function.

It works great and I plan on using it for years to come!
