2013 John Deere 3032E
Well, I will admit I'm a tractor noob. Last time I was doing any farm work was in 8th grade, I'm 52 now. Anyway, bought a new JD 3032E with FEL, Yes I know what FEL means now, 5' Frontier brush hog and 6' Frontier Blade. My first attempt at blading a foot of snow was, well, kinda ugly, gravel drive. Read a thread about turning the blade around backwards, wow, It looks like I know what I'm doing now. If you haven't tried this I would recommend it. By the way, I love this tractor. Thank you John Deere for the 5 year 0% financing.

Congrats on your new tractor. With a little TLC, it will serve you well for decades. If you have a long enough lane to justify a snow blower they are worth the price.

I have 7ft bucket and 7 ft back blade working together make short work on my 300 ft driveway

Good little tractor. I like my 3038. The FEL and blade do great on my mile-long gravel drive. If you're going to have a lot, I've found it's much easier to go out in the snowfall after every 6 to 8 inches and plow. If you let it get deep it takes longer and can even be near impossible.

I agree with kcflhrc. I turn my rear blade around backwards, and it plows much better. Before the ground freezes I try to level things out as much as possible.
