Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Snow has arrived

I'm is Cleveland, OH and I just finished plowing with my TC30 with a cab. It's a joy to plow again, out of the wind, snow and cold. Oh by the way I installed a electric heater and it's just right. Getting back to the snow we have about 10 inches already and they said it will keep snowing until noon Wednesday. I did 4 other driveways and this was the heaviest snow I've pushed in awhile. I done use chains just 4 wheel drive.

Can anyone suggest the best way to use the front loader on my JD2305 to do the driveway (about 1800 feet long) without damaging the asphalt?

We just recieved your snow, and will continue to until tonight. It started last night at about 2 or 3am, it's now 8:30am and we have 8". Supposed to get 3'. It was my first time plowing with my JD1070 and 7' back blade. It worked out great. A bit colder than my plow truck!!!!! Makes me feel like a kid again.

rcrodgersjr---Put the FEL on float, keep your bucket level and let er rip. No, not the asphalt, the snow. You won't dig up your asphalt on float with the bucket level.

I'm southwest of Rockford. Hard to tell how much we got with all the wind. Neighbor asked if I would bring the blower up and tackle a big drift. He wasn't kidding, was chin high and probably 20' long. Another neighbor's drive was 2-3' deep by the road. He called today to ask if I could pay another visit .... drifted shut again. Fortunately winds have died down now.

Mine is stored in an unheated shed. I brush the blower or bucket off before parking it.

I'm about 75 miles south of Cleveland. We have about 15 inches where it's level, but most of it has been rearranged a bit by the wind that everyone else got, too. I plowed yesterday afternoon, and am just doing computer work on my 5th snow day of the year and waiting for the wind to quit moving the snow so I can go out and do the same. We saw 8F at 8:45 this morning, but it's about 12 now. Should go down to 3F tonight. There is a level 3 snow emergency starting at the county line about 2 miles south of me. That means you can get a ticket just for being out on the road in your car down in Holmes County. I wonder if that applies to the Amish, too? We are at a level 2 here and all schools are closed along with some businesses.

I love my locust firewood! The furnace doesn't run in this, I'm just heating by woodburning stove.

I live just outside of Springfield. I moved snow with my FEL for about 2 hours yesterday and another 6 hours today. I don't care if I never see another flake of snow. Normally I enjoy sitting on the tractor, but not at -8 wind chill. I am too old for this.

About 5" with 12" drifts here in Winchester VA, very heavy snow after 12 hours of freezing rain.

First time snow using 2 yr old Kioti CK30HST, rear chains, and back blade, worked well. I was mildly disappointed plowing UP the state road hill nearby as I was slipping so I went up and plowed down.

Only after plowing half of mine and the state road and my neighbor's drive did I realize I had been in 2 wheel drive. No problems after switching to 4WD.

Those 25 years of plowing with a Cub Cadet and a front blade helped a lot! You get a certain speed and rhythm going.
