Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Only 4 inches of wet snow since Xmas day here in NW MT..........looks to be another blueballs winter? No real winter since I got the tractor, it truly prevents snow by sitting.

Yep, I finally got a cabbed tractor and now no snow.

I still have at least 24” or more sitting on ground, but weather has turned warmer. But weve gotten pretty good snowpack this year, so am happy.

I believe we are at 110" for the year but gosh its been warm, and much is gone.

We got almost 10" of heavy wet soggy snow last night and this morning;

As heavy and soggy as it was I thought I'd use the inverted blower on it, thought I had gotten a video clip on my phone while I was blowing snow but all I got was my finger on the lens, one of our motion cams did get a video doesn't show a lot but,

I'm a constant sorrow of snow curse here in NW MT again, no snow since Xmas eve beside one dumping of 4'' of snowman snow that I had to use the blade on.

wet stuff sure sucks…..
i had to clear about 2’ of wet junk out of neighbors driveway, as they did not keep up with it, and it got to where their tractor without chains, and only a plow, could not handle it. I was able to get rid of it with my blower, but was a struggle. It was very wet and nearly 40° when i got the call that their trucks were stuck.

Yeah, this is the only time of the year that I'm envious.

Most wont believe it, but while I have lived here (25+ years), we have snow almost every year and two 15” storms.

Are you bragging that you always have sand available to throw on the slick spots?

Got another storm coming later today, 8-12" then a brief period of freezing rain.

How do like the box blade for moving snow? Or is it just on there as ballast for the loader?

I only really use it for pushing small piles, and making room behind me to turn around; for that, it works great, so long as the shanks aren't down. I mention that because I forgot to flip them before the first storm, and found out when I went to use the blade lol.

I use the loader with Edge Tamers primarily, but the box blade certainly has it's purpose! If I could I suppose I'd rather have a heavy blade capable of being offset, but that's far in the future.

She's just arriving here.

I just finished putting the tracks on. Wasn't sure that I'd get to use them this year.

Where's your snow plow or blower for that? Jon

 

[Rustyiron]

That's the quality control field inspection vehicle.
I could have used it a couple of days ago when the tractor was in the ditch, on ice and headed up hill. I had to carry buckets of salt sand and shovels on the 4 wheeler about 1800' up the driveway.
