Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

Almost 9" snow still falling steady,should be slowing up around 6pm.

Only 7" here so far.

I used some random pipe I had laying around, I think it was from a well drilling rig. It is 2-1/4" OD and about 3/16" wall thickness. I cut a slot wide enough to match the blade thickness and mounted it to the cutting edge. Then I made some tabs and bolted those to the backside of the bolts holding the cutting edge on, then welded the tabs to the pipe. Funny thing is I made sure to cut a nice straight slot in the pipe but when I went to mount it to the blade I discovered the blade had a slight curve to it. Took a bit of persuasion to get it on too, lol.

I tried using the plow backwards but it would not release the snow and I think the pics suggest why.

Part of today's project. I haven't set foot outside yet but there's a good 6-7" on the picnic table.
I use the SS with the push box around the house, shop, sawmill/firewood area, probably a half acre, it's faster than the tractor as most of the snow is carried (pushed) a long way.

Finished up changing the engine and transmission/hydraulic oil and the plowing equipment mounting yesterday.

1st snow of 2024, six inches........I was soooo miserable I grinned the whole way.

I would like to apologize. Despite me putting the blade on, it still snowed. The nerve.

First time out with this tractor, I'm impressed. Much more grunt in the push. Surprised there's still any driveway/grass beside the driveway left. Still getting used to the three point hitch lift controls. Oh well, driveway needed a new sealcoat anyway.

Out in it today. No, not much.

First big snow of the season and it's already getting old.

The heavy wet stuff weighs down the Hemlock branches, blocking the road in some spots.

One advantage of the FEL plow is, I can make a pass with the blade elevated and knock the snow off. I used to scratch the heck out of the pickup and tractor cab using a fixed blade plow.

I suppose I should trim back the Hemlocks but they are already stressed from a Woolly Adelgid infestation.

I remain an optimist? Kinda warm

We ended up with 10" here. I plowed our road that we share with two places down below that have a ROW and a camp about a mile down the town road.
