Hi Ductape,
I like your Golden. Best dog alive. How old is yours? We have one that looks just like yours. She is 7 years old.
Oh yeah I think your snow removal equipment "blows". I guess thats ok as long as you're in that cage.

He turned five in December........ and I agree, best dogs ever! Mine goes everywhere with me (except snowblowing). Couldn't ask for a more loyal dog.

NHKubotaB7800: I see you are pushing in reverse with the blade reversed...have you tried pulling the blade behind? I find that works equally well and is quicker and easier on the neck ...of course, it doesn't allow you to "push back" snow, but my drive doesn't require it.

Stanley, thanks she loves to chear me on while i'm on the tractor...i think she is jelous.
Joel, i do use it to pull as well in areas that i do not want to pile up the snow, but find that it requires another step when i do, i need to spin around and use the bucket to get the snow onto the snow bank. it is much quicker to push it....i have read comments about people that have bent their 3 point linkage doing it that way and have started to check mine everytime i am done plowing....so far so good....i am also careful not to slam into areas that i know have BFR's...Big, F****n, Rocks.

Watch out for frozen snow too. After a warmup or rain it can get as hard as BFR's. That is one advantage of a front blade with springs.

yep, I was one of those guys who bent one of his B7800's turnbuckles by plowing with the rear blade in reverse Hitting BFR's and ice at high speed will do that.
Later, when I bought my rear snow blower, I went through many sheer bolts as I tried to muscle frozen snowbanks.
I also pulled pieces out of my steps and deck while doing some "finesse" snow removal work with my loader.
Amazingly, since slowing down and being careful I haven't had anymore problems.
