Couldn't post because the site was down. Here's a 30 sec video from my latest snow removal. Got 10 to 14 inches to get rid of. Starting to get the hang of it.

Raise your chute deflector up to throw snow further away. Looks like you are owing right along. Also did you walk in to get tractor? Looks like you are following some tracks. Jon

Yeah, I raised it on the way back

Yeah, had to walk from my car at the gate to the cottage, too much snow to drive to the cottage. Then, I forgot the tractor's key so had to walk back, that's why there are so many tracks lol (wasn't laughing then)

What do you mean by "Looks like you are owing right along"?

We received a skiff of snow yesterday. Top photo is on the street, which is all ice from the warm weather we just had.. No problem!

Looks like a lot of stress on that little plow frame.
Does the plow angle?

Hello and good morning ArlyA,

Would you mind telling me who made the tracks for your atv? Do they come in a wider version?

I have several threads about this 6x6 machine. Here is one about work. The pods are made by Soucy they do not make them wider, in fact, most versions are more narrow. With these pods, ground PSI is quite low, about as low as Alpine machines have. We operate in snow much and can go were wide track sleds get stuck. Of course these pods are costly and require HP to run.

"owing" was supposed to be moving right along. ie your ground speed was higher than I would have thought with the amount of snow depth. Maybe I just go too slow. Lol. Jon

 

[SylvainG]

Ok, makes sense now lol. I started slower and increased speed (ie gear) until the snow ahead of the blower kept growing bigger (ie, blower couldn't keep up). I then stopped and chose the gear before that. I was in fourth gear of the slow range. According to my manual, my speed was 2.68 mph. GoPro lense has a tendency to make things look going faster than they actually are.

Had some good ground drifting this morning. Blocked road needed to be cleared. Four ft drifts in the orchard.
