Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

First attempt with a FEL. Disappointed but I understand there is a learning curve. Snow was crazy heavy. Just got 10" of light powder but went with the plow truck because I was pressed for time. Looking forward to trying FEL on a regular storm. I haven't given up yet.

A FEL is not an efficient method to move snow. Blower and/or blade work better. FEL is last resort when snow is so high it can't be pushed and must be carried out of the way.

First post here. After blowing snow for years with my B6200 and rear mount snowblower, I am tickled as can be to be blowing snow while looking forward from my heated box!
That is an L2052-1 blower on the front of my F3060.

Welcome to TBN. Nice setup you have there. Agree rear snowblower is a pain in the neck.

Well, it works for me but a front blade would be easier.

Never had a chance to try it, but I think a v-plow on FEL arms would work pretty well. A plow on FEL arms would be able to stack snow high and push over the tops of piles. The v-plow would make it easy to corral the snow for cleaning off wide areas.

I use the FEL bucket and a rear PTO blower, that combination gets the job done too, but a v-plow running in float might be faster I think.

With a little practice the FEL will do fine.

+1.
Takes forever to clear my driveway using the bucket.
I do it with a loader mounted snow blade in a fraction of the time.

 

[grsthegreat]

i still have to put on the bucket to clear the berms around the gates, close to buildings, etc.

I wouldnt like to think about having to go back to it for all snow clearing like i did when i got my first compact tractor back in 1996

I've never seen a Razor with a plow. I bet that's fun. Does the RZR have locking rear diff? Those two machines together make a nice combo.

i found these from a couple years ago. forgot i ever put the videos on. the Volvo loader is now replaced with a Deere 644H which i have to get a video of that. the one lot for the loader is close to 1/3 mile long, it takes 3 pickups to keep up with it. the backhoe is in a yard which is fed by 2 Bobcats with plows

The supervisor, Winston, approves all snow removal. Mainly he just likes to ride .

Two thumbs up for Winston. :thumbsup::thumbsup: :laughing:

Wow,

You guys have some nice and big machines - mine are modest but get the job done.

The Cub Cadet 1811 has a plow and chains but was retired once I got the Kubota for winter duties. The Cub was just getting too cranky to start when its below 50*.

Getting much snow is a uncommon event for us. Couple of days ago we were blessed (it's moisture) with about 5". It was my first chance to play tractor in the snow. After doing the drive, I did nearly 3 miles of roads in our development. It was fun, but will probably last me for a few years. :laughing:

Here is the new toy that I got a few weeks ago.
