L39 - removed backhoe for the first time and tried an unknown 96" pto snowblower. Worked great. Cleared all the 6' snow piles. Could throw the dense wet snow about 40'.

Made a snow run yesterday when 6-9" of wet snow fell. Mounted a camera on the ROPS to get some video on the 1/4 mile run. Less than 2 minutes for the three runs. Some cleanup at three turn-arounds for a total of about 20 minutes. That would take a lot longer with a snowblower, and with a blade there is no clean-up time.
Here is the first run. The run back up and the final run back down are on videos 2 and 3

The good thing about a snowblower though is that you don't get a build-up of bankings. Towards the end of this year I was running out of places to push it and the banks were so high the snow wouldn't go over them when I plowed.

That is why I built the wing plow to mow that snow back the few times it becomes necessary. :)

Yup, I know. That wing plow is definately cool. I live on a pretty big hill and I'm not sure I'd be able to plow up with that wing plow though; sometimes I have issues just with the 7 1/2 footer on the front. If I ever made one, it would have to be easily transferred from one side to the other.

That and I'd have to be careful not to biff one of the telephone poles with it! ;)
