Mike your lucky , in my days pushing snow use 988 , 950 , 920 cat loader for pushing snow . In the big land we get 6’ to 15’ a snow fall . ALL THE BEST IN 2023 and in good health to everyone.

Mike nice snowblowing video. We have a snow blower at the farm. It hooks up to our 3 point hitch! We havent had to use it in the last 3 years due to llack of Heavy snow fall! Great job blowing snow.

Really like your video , just found your channel, I have a L series Kubota and I live in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia just north of Washington State, now I have my snow blower mounted on the rear and a snow blade on the front. Reason ,I have a 600 ft driveway steep uphill with a switch back. When we get a good snow like today I plow downhill first pass then blow the rest. You have to note that the change in elevation from the bottom of my driveway is 300 ft lower than our top parking by the house. I snow blower on the front is great but the snow blade on the front in the beginning of the snow season does not throw rocks everywhere. so I blade for the first while and when she freezes up good then I blow it all a way. I also have to chain up all four wheels. You did a great job.

Fellow yooper here also. This winter hasn't been too bad I don't think. My driveway is about as long as yours but I use a 31 year old Craftsman tractor with a berco snowblower to clean it.

G’morn’n Mike, sure is a nice rig you have there. We do commercial snow removal here in The Deep South of Michigan. We use walk behind blowers for sidewalks. The blowers obviously do a much tidier job than a plow and it’s a service I’d love to offer to our higher end clients. However our residential drives are so scattered that it wouldn’t be practical for us. Sure is ideal for your application though😎 Bless’ns to ya my good man!
