Worked pretty good, but not perfect. I think later in the season it might work better, when the ground is actually frozen. Currently lots of wet and soft spots, so I did tear up a few places.
My only real complaint is with the way the loader floats. When I push into float on the joystick, the back of the bucket drops to the ground, but the pipe on the edge keeps the front up a little, making the angle of attack wrong. It works much better without using float, but that requires much more paying attention, and minute loader movements constantly.
Overall, I'd still say it's a handy free way to get by until I buy a plow or blower. Like I said, it'll probably work even better once the ground is fully frozen.
