I am curious what you people who aren't used to moving big snow around learned from events of the last week?
Steve, First off this storm really battered this area and we are not used to it. The winds really made things bad too. I used my cabbed B3030 with loaded turfs and front end loader. I started out using the FEL mounted blade but then it got too deep so I switched to the bucket. I was so impressed with this machine. It really went through the white stuff. Only when it got about 3 feet high from the blowing did I have to shovel from side to side. This did take some time. I never got it hung up either. The heater worked terrific with me undressing down to a flannel shirt. Never got cold once and I listened to the radio the whole time. It was interesting going out in the middle of the storm and the weather not affecting me at all. What I learned from this storm is that unless you stay with it constantly the drifting will really slow you down. A snowblower would have been the answer but I did get a good bit of seat time. Unless we get storms like this again I can't see spending the money for a snowblower. We just don't get these storms and I had fun going out during the height of it.
