Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[hawkeye08]

We have 3 Gravely riders, one with 48" front snowblower (shown), one with 48" front blade and the 3rd with 48" loader and bucket. We have added the Kubota L3130 w/FEL (avatar), but expect to use mostly Gravely with front blade. We generally only get the snow that needs the blower every 4-5 years.

We are seeing a 'La Nina' (pacific ocean currents) build which could mean more precipitation. We are at around 2000ft elevation some years get more rain than snow.

You are right, Roy.!! And I haven't looked at the tractor yet...I'm still looking at the blade.!!

Heck of a rig.:thumbsup:

I know their will be comments about stress to the loader arms but pushing snow has nothing against digging with the loader. If you have only seen what I have done with this little tractor.:confused2:

I don't have one so I don't know for sure, but isn't the issue with side forces when you angle the blade to push the snow off to the side? The issue isn't with forces forward and aft when the blade is perpendicular.

With my bucket off of the ground, I can push on it with my hand and see where side forces could tweak things.

I am interested in this subject because I would love to have a front blade for plowing snow. Is there a frame-mount front blade for an M? I see them for the Ls.

I tried to take a good picture but my wife would not stand still long enough.

Does your wife have that glaring look that would melt snow and ice when you are in trouble?
