We are getting dumped on here again in Mass. Spent 2 hours yesterday pushing back snow from my シ mile drive. Went out today and found out my セ ton truck with chains is stuck in a bank that I backed it into to park, one of the chains is missing. So it痴 all tractor time with the FEL. I need to look into a blower for winters like this. Lots of my banks can稚 go any taller and I already pushed them back debate a front blower but I wonder if I would miss the FEL. This is the most snow I remember in years.

Brimfield you're almost my neighbor, I know what you mean. As for the bucket, When we have snow like we do now the bucket is best. Yes you will miss the Fel for winters like this.
Only problem I have this year is I left the backhoe on , can't steer very well, too much weight in the back, front end is too light.
Last year was better without the hoe,

I got the back hoe on and have rim gaurd in the rear tires, I know what you are saying. I just added front chains and that made a big change. I might be better off with a rear snow blower but I need to look into that.

Rear blade & FEL on the L3240 have been very busy this winter.
Just got our front blower on the B2320HST and just in time.
It's a nice, heavy unit, well matched to the tractor and has hyd chute & rotation.
R&S did a great job setting it up for us.
I have run out of places to stack the white stuff.
The blower really helps moving the piles that are now so high I can't make much progress moving them back with FEL or blade.

Another day of blowing snow.....we are then supposed to get two sunny days and then another storm on Thursday night into Friday with another one coming on Sunday.....almost ready to throw in the towel! Got to remember to get more fuel!

I have blown or scraped my driveway 19 times so far this winter. But remember, I do it at as little as one inch. The meat wagon MUST be able to get in and out of here. There are two disabled people living here besides myself.

If I had my tractor in Boston I'd be making a freaking fortune!

If the snow keeps up, we won't be able to get mail soon. This is pic of one of the mailboxes in my neighborhood.

Ok I got to ask all of you who have 3pt snow blowers a few questions. What brands do you own and are there any clunkers to avoid? And how hard is it to hook one up? I have the back hoe on from day one and have never removed it. This winter is driving me to buy one::mad:
