I was buying hay spears from Titan Industries (which, by the way has some excellent prices on the limited number of things they make), and saw they made an 8' snow pusher. I bought the pusher and the adapter to convert from skid steer to JD loader mounts. I was interested if it would do a good job on the driveway rather than using the back blade or snow blower all of the time.
It's heavy, and after I chained up the front as well, it does pretty good on dry snow of course, but too much for my tractor with anything heavy.
Any ideas on "cutting weight", I was thinking of taking a hundred pounds or more off of it. Cutting the side skirts at a bit of an angle, maybe cutting some small holes in the rear that won't affect strength or snow capacity but shed weight? Any ideas?
All in all, I am impressed with how quickly a pusher can clear an area.
