I'm new to tractoring, learning with each use (10hrs up to now) anyway I plan on using my tractor's FEL for plowing and snow removal. It's a steep driveway about 400' long, the area is in the NH "snowbelt". The tractor is 40hp, 4wd with front chains for the winter, and loaded tires. I also have a heavy duty back blade (7ft woods), I plan to use that to catch what the FEL misses. My olde plow girl has gone to Dodge ram heaven 1976-2004 thus a new tractor takes her place. I am familiar with the driveway, plowed it for two years and had a routine.
What kind of problems can I expect? Anything I should know before my first attempt? I'm low on $$ so snowblower attachments and plow attachments are not an option for this year.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
