129 - Kawasaki ATV vs Kubota Compact Tractor Clearing Snow | Which is better?

Ойын-сауық

In this video I do a comparison between a Kawasaki Brute Force ATV with a snowplow and a Kubota LX2610 compact tractor with a rear mounted snow blower and a front loader bucket. Which one would I choose if I could only have one of them? Watch this video to find out!

Spending time outdoors doing projects with various machines and tools - anything from cutting trees, firewood, clearing brush, milling wood, plowing snow, reviewing, repairing & fabricating equipment. Doing landscaping and maintenance on my forested property using my Kubota tractor.
And its not all work!! Gotta take time to play - after turning my pond into a skating rink, and a whole bunch more of outdoor activities.

    It is great that you have both Paul. They excel in different conditions. You really do make plowing with the ATV look like fun. My wife said you are going to cost us money. 😁👍 Have a great weekend, Ben

    I am fortunate to have both and they most certainly complaint each other. Lol, I think that there is a good chance that your wife is right on that one. The cost of the ATV plow is relatively inexpensive in comparison to tractor attachments and implements. If you don't already have a winch and are thinking of getting a plow I highly recommend a warm winch. Have a great weekend Ben!

    I do have more fun clearing snow with the ATV. I think that the blower on the front and the blade on the back like you have is the best configuration for clearing snow with a tractor, and then a cab would make it the ultimate. You too have a great weekend Luc!

    Good afternoon Tod! They are both fun. It really comes down to your needs and there are many other ways and pieces of equipment that can be used. We all have different landscapes and what works for me may not work for others. You too have a great weekend!

    You've got the best of both worlds! I use my tractor with a plow for all the big stuff but I have a Toro electric snow thrower for the sidewalk and the tight spaces 🤠👍

    Both do a good job, the blower is better in deep snow. ATVs are always more fun than tractors. Another good video Paul. Brent

    Thanks Paul. I was surprised you chose the atv over the tractor but you used both and your decision was based on usability and needs. I've never plowed with an atv but those who do really like what they can do.

    I really enjoy the benefit of having both the tractor and the ATV to clear snow. Most snowfalls are light to moderate and there are so many aspects to clearing snow that better fit the use of the ATV. Especially on the pond, the trails and tight spaces. Have a great weekend Kenny!

    Thanks! Yeah for me the ATV is definitely my 1st choice. It is nice to have the tractor blower for big snowfalls and really heavy wet snuw. Having snow in the winter is nice and it does make the surroundings picturesque. Have a fantastic Sunday!

    Paul, good food for thought. However, I will not be giving up my tractor. The other factor folks need to consider is their needs. You have the unique need to clear your pond which could be done with an inexpensive single stage snow blower. Great video - I've never been a big fan of ATVs, but I could really buy into a UTV. IMO, they have a lot to offer on a homestead or farm. One of the things I've come to realize is everything in life is a compromise. I enjoyed your presentation and you do an excellent argument. Enjoy the journey - cheers

    Thanks Bob! You are absolutely right it really comes down to your needs and there are many other ways and pieces of equipment that can be used. I have the pond and trails where the ATV is boss for me but others may have wide open lots etc. The ATV can't handle the heavy wet snow or the really big snowfalls as well and I am fortunate to have the blower on the tractor for those instances. Have a superb weekend!
