Always wanted a snow pusher never thought about putting exercise on my bucket watch cheaper than buying a snow pusher

It works better than I thought

Watched this and immediately went out and bought a pusher. I got a 60" because I have chains and its a 23S with the backhoe. Cleared my driveway in about half the time of my UTV with a 60" plow. I was considering a 3 point pto snowblower but i think the pusher with the weight of the backhoe is the way to go. Id suggest chains and some suitcase weights if you find yourself needing more traction. Thanks for the video.

I am glad! I always have chains on. I tried last night without, and it wasn’t good. Crazy wet snow though. Suitcase weights might come next.

Thanks for doing all these comparisons. We haven't had to plow here yet, a very wierd winter so far, so a snow pusher is probably not in our future. But, when the snow does show up, I plan to be ready with your bucket side boards. All the best, Ben

They will probably work well for you. No snow at all? Crazy. I would be so sad.

Great investment. Now save up for a back blade to complete the snow plowing jem. They work so good together. Happy snow plowing and stay safe.

Good job 💪. I’m always impressed how much work these subcompact tractors will do 🤠

Really ougt to lower the loader when backing up. The stupidest littlet things will make these little tractors tip in a heart beat. I like the bucket wings idea. Good video

Pro's and con's for both. Snow pusher is fast but costs more than plywood. Snow pusher will last longer.

Agreed on both

Nice comparison video. I have a Land Pride Snow Pusher 60” as well with the back drag option for my BX2380. I gather you don’t have the skid steer two lever quick detach system on your loader as you made the comment that it was a pain to switch between the bucket and snow pusher. I have the skid steer quick detach and that is the way to go. Thanks again for the video!

I do have it actually. It was only a pain to constantly switch back and forth.

You are doing good. I even got schooled on the pusher. Can't wait to what other things you come up with. Stay well and God bless.

Buy taken the back drag of. You showed me its better pushing if you don't need to pull back.

Hey man good job on making your own.. pushers are awesome I didn’t finish the video only because I have to go actually go to work and plow. But honestly with the pusher you made with the bucket, I wouldn’t even bother dumping just because you have the length with the boards just not the hight. The snow in the bucket is minimal in the overall scheme of things. Just to keep the speed up overall awesome man.. I’m subscribing!

Agreed. I have tried that too and it is pretty quick.

I never heard of a dedicated snow pusher but is a great idea! I think that I might modify my a bit too large bucket for my MF35X to become something like yours. The bottom is rusted through at several places and I have been planning for repairing that but simply shortening it and moving the scraper blade back and reinforcing the sides will be better as I do not use it for anything other than pushing snow. Thank you for the video!

Great video. Well the wood is a bit cheaper 😂 than the snow pusher. And the bucket and plywood does a great job. A little shorter ply wood with some metal edges would help from breaking. Great comparisons. Have a great Sunday.

Wood is more expensive these days

Just put a couple of bolt on skids on the bucket and you'll solve the problem of it digging in. You could also put one of those boards on the face of the bucket to keep the snow mostly "outside" the bucketnto minimize the dumping. I'm going to give this a shot this winter.

Good luck with it! I use edge tamers most of the time when I do it. I think I had taken them off because I wanted to scrape things down a bit more. It works better with them on.

Interesting experiment!

Good mock up for testing/ proof of concept purposes. Definitely faster with the pusher but $1000 faster? I have a pallet attachment and I wonder if I take the forks off if I could weld something up? Add it to the list of things to do. Great channel and thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mike. PS congrats on the < 1000 subscribers

Thanks. I like it

You still are going to need an angle blade. You will get to the point that you simply can not push it any further and the only thing you can do is to cut into it stair step fashion till you have some place to push the snow to.

@BigGuyLittleTractor

Жыл бұрын

For sure. Depends on the amount of snow you usually get though. I find the rear blade works pretty well to get things started.

I think the snow rolls better with my snow pusher than it does with my bucket

It would for sure

I wonder how much better it would be with a composite or plastic instead of wood.

@BigGuyLittleTractor

7 ай бұрын

Metal would probably be best. If someone has scrap composite around I can give it a try.

If you're pronouncing the word 'About' as "Ah-boot"..you probably know snow and know it well.
