5' Pusher

[yooperdave]

Learning how to use a pusher. Tractor is 4' wide and the pusher is 5' wide with a back blade.

How do you like it Yoop? Have you been getting a bunch of snow this winter?

I like the skid shoes on that pusher! Looks like they would be very gravel-friendly.

Having the back drag blade is nice as long as your loader can pivot it all the way over.

I have a L3000 and was thinking of a snow pusher. Do they work well and worth the investment. I have a bucket on now but up here in Canada you plow 3 ft and its full. What about a 6-7' pusher?? Thanks

I would get the deepest/tallest (not widest) pusher as possible. My back drag blade is welded on and adds structural integrity. I still need to plow the overflow afterward - similar to a bucket. I would recommend a blower in the back and a snow bucket in the front if you have lots of snow to address - especially if clearing over a long distance.

My pusher comes highly recommended. Very heavy duty @ 600#. I can't push too far, but works out ok for my paved driveway.

Also in Canada and in a snow belt zone.

Pusher is good for minor events (those that U don't really need to plow).
A decent blower is your best friend. Blow it as far away so as to not bother you later.
Save your $$'s on a pusher and invest them in a decent blower.

I have an 8' snow push and I like it (better than the bucket), but with my driveway being 1400' from the road to the house, I'm thinking a snow blower is in order for next winter. When the snow is LIGHT, there's no issue...but we RARELY get that kind of snow in Central NY!

Agreed. I already have 8 ft banks.

I can see using a pusher to move snow, but then you need a FEL to pile it up.

Blow the white stuff
