Winter logging

   / Winter logging #11  
Here is a pic of our house the driveway is about 30 feet longer than you can see.We had almost no snow until this storm.Could not plow with my 1 ton, most yards had 3 to 4 feet.So put the Kubota to the test and worked fine, was the only way to open driveways up.Put about 12 hours on her and my left leg knows it hst would have been nice.

Yes it's pretty cool to go into 4 feet of snow in low 2 and push until you can't no more than dump over to the side than back up do it again.I just got the L4300 recently and was the first real test.Drop the bucket and go, loaded tires and 43 hp make some difference.I had been using a L275 for the last 7 years not in the same league at all.The only real problem is I make more money plowing 3 to 4 inches than 38, it just takes too long.I will say though it is a tractor playground fairly light snow ,lots of it and everyone is your friend /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gifHere is another pic just does not do the amount of snow justice

I know what you mean about time. I assume with just a few inches you use your truck. When I borrow the tractor I'm often asked to chase down drifts. Spend more time plowing than doing my work!

No bull,
There must be something wrong with my monitor...it looks like your ROPS is in the down position /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I'm sure that can't be so. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can push about 2 feet of snow without too much problem.38 inches nah.Tried a driveway, snow was smashing into my plow lights figured I was only going to break something.Here is a pic of my truck I weigh about 6 tons with plow and counterweight and still not big enough

LOL Your right to put it in or out of the garage in front of tractor you have to put it down or you will do a back flip.6 months of the year[summer] it will be in my big garage and I can keep it up all the time.This up and down rops gets to be a pain but what can you do.Funny thing my L275 just went in without folding[it couldn't] and the L4300 is just a couple inches too high

Egon,

My uncle was out here in Edmonton on the 18th heading back to his home in Halifax on the 19th. Pretty sure he ended up sitting in Toronto for a day or so. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Sure was some wild footage on the news.

Kevin; I was sitting in the sunroom with my feet on the hot water radiator watchin it snow and blow and snug as a bug in a rug.

The next day required about eight hours of iron shovel and moving stuff around.

But what really hurt was the extra 15 cm. we got a few days later.

i beleive u are a right on the snow, can;t bet a fel or blower for moving a lot of snow. plows can only push so much.

BEAUTIFUL blue color sky in your picture tho. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
