peter lena 8,629 #1 Posted February 13 this snow is going to be heavy for us , my plow blades are already slick with lubricant , for easy plowing and snow release. like getting extra HP , chains , weights , the snow slide off is ridiculous . would also recommend getting a far end push off spot , so every pass , has a place to go. don't plow short , plan for a place to go . like a penetrating oil spray down , also stops rust , might even lubricate the related movement points ! have a good time plowing , pate 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I happen to plow with a Artic Cat 400 Auto Quad. When I hit that push off spot I will try and pusher further in so I don't lose that dump area for the next storm. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 429 #3 Posted February 13 Looks like about 10” here so far. Still snowing pretty steadily. Shoveled a path to the garage earlier. The snow itself is fluffy and light but There is a layer of slush on the bottom. Waiting for it to stop before getting the Kubota out for my driveway and my neighbors. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why I do get out there right after the storm before freeze. In my younger days with bigger storms lol I'd go out mid storm and at least get one layer out of the way. I have a monster snow blower on tracks also along with plow so I have options depending on snow type or if I run out of space on snow stacking.

Handy Don 12,232 #9 Posted February 13 Predicted 3-6 inches turned into 10.5 inches of the really heavy jam-up-the-blower stuff here on top of warm ground. It’s already melting from underneath and the driveway is already drying in spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although plowing is much quicker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
