It's kinda hard to look cool:cool: when you smack your mirror into the pine trees. Oh well that's life.
The road between the pines is dirt, that is why the bucket is up, I only push the snow going down the road. You can be sure those branches are getting trimmed.

Looks like the start of a science fiction flick when that bucket comes out of the garage with the camera eyeball guiding it.

We're about in the same region however your snow looks a lot fluffier than mine if this was todays storm. Mine was like moving 8" of cement it was so wet. Ever think of getting a back blade or a snow pusher?

I paid three thousand dollars for a snow blade for my B3030. My father in law, an operator all his life said what did you do that for? All you need is the bucket, you can do more with a bucket, like down pressure, back blade, pile . I said no no the blade is better you can go a lot faster. Well after the first season with the blade and after I got pretty good with the bucket, my father in law was right. Once the snow was piled up I needed to put the bucket back on to move some piles. After that, the next 3 seasons the blade sat in the shed. I'm still a little shaky with this FEL on the L3240. But my B3030 after 690 hrs I was a wiz with that bucket in my yard. The bucket is all I need to move snow.
This is my son in the b3030 in this video. 4 years ago. No branches hitting this tractor.

A rear blade allows you to move snow when backing up. Less wasted motion. It also helps with traction when moving piles with the fel. It just make things go faster is all. If your content with what you have that's all that counts. I like your video's. Whoever took the latest storm is quite the videographer.

Here is my video plowing with the RTV 900 yesterday morning. Tractors are fun, Plowing with the RTV is a bit faster.

Great video, I like the garage door opener in the cab :thumbsup:
I'm also in CT, looks like you got about the same amount of snow as we did.
