My cousin reached in while a PTO was running. It caught his coveralls and flipped him over the top. His coveralls tore which saved his life! When I was little, I was riding on the back of an Allis Chalmers WD with a hand clutch while my dad was driving. When Dad lifted the 3-point, I screamed because my foot was being crushed by the top link. He had immediately lowered it before it injured my foot. I watched as a hired man relaxed and placed his hand next to a spinning chain sprocket on a potato harvester. It ripped the tip of his finger off in a second. Someone in the community was pulling something heavy with a rope on the drawbar connected to a chain. When the chain broke the rope slung the chain at him like a sling shot and killed him. I feel a cab is safer than an open station in some cases. Enough said.

Mike Morgan, Outdoors with the Morgans, made an interest comment on recent episode while he was working snow with a plow and a back blade. He said that a plow is more effective on roads whereas, the snow pusher is more effective on parking lots. He also showed in the video that the back blade worked great on removing the snow from the garage doors. What are your thoughts?

I got a lifetime powertrain warranty on my tractor so I let it EAT!

Finally a video that explains how things actually work. Thanks!

I'm in Maine, and my tractor gets 80% of its use moving snow and skidding logs in the winter. I got my first cab tractor this year, and wished I had done it much sooner. Of course, the real answer is: get both!

Wow look at all those rocks and gravel it's tearing up!

Great video. I just hate how they have the exhaust setup on this.

*Sigh* Whips out credit card - guess I’m gonna need to buy this next lol

My experience with turf tires is that the openings fill up with snow and don't clean out very well. When I farmed, I was surprised to find that single rib tires work very well as front tires on deep snow. They cut through the snow and were the best for turning.

I just keep something on the back for weight

I paid $24900 for my JD tractor brand new in 2020 and I paid cash. The same tractor with implements is now $45k . Freaking crazy!

Pusher on the front Backblade on the back. Works perfectly for me.

You've convinced me over the years that a snow pusher is the best all around value for utility and economy. 🚜

As someone who’s plowed snow with a rear blade their entire life. 1 reverse the blade and drive backwards, you can put the edge where you want it and not have the trailing or compaction issues. 2 you have to make piles away from your driveway early in the year. I do one at either end, then you push your snow through the yard and pile it up

The snow pusher is good for parking areas and large spaces but if you have a long driveway or woodlot roads the angle blade is best. It is better at moving the snow off to the side. Get a blade 1 foot wider than you need. Now head down the lane and watch the snow roll off it.

Is the key in your pocket when you do the door close honk thing?

Angled blades don’t work well with small equipment

put the arms in float

BLADE IS TO NARROW SON WHEN USE A 950 CAT LOADER WITH 20 FT BLADE

Here's something that's not intuitive to a lot of people that plow snow with lighter equipment. When theres a fair amount of snow, you should someetimes start plowing where you want to end up. Meaning you need to clear the area where you want to pile the snow, first. This prevents the wind-rows from being to heavy or large to effectively move, and stips that loss of steering control. This goes for all the small farm tractors, skidsteers, and pickup trucks guys.

Why don’t PTOs have a reverse? Or at least the attachments have a gearbox that allows you to reverse the rotary? post hole diggers, tillers, rotary brooms, etc

I’m thinking about your beautiful tractor “struggling “ as I’m hand shoveling my 80 foot driveway.

A good honest sales pitch. I can work with a honest man!! Key word to this ad, "refreshing"!

Back blade spun around to push in reverse where all the weight is (assuming loaded tires) keeps the steering intact. Loader bucket on the front to stack the piles up when you need to make more room after a long plow season, when room at the end of the plow runs gets scarce.

Some limitations but eventually effective.

Sure bets a shovel!

You need a back blade so you can plow while backing up too

I'd like to see a reboot on this 3 years later. Great info.

It could be Timothy or foxtail either way if it’s not desired I would pull it out.

A motorcycle jack helps a great deal with the loaded tires

Sounds like you should think long and hard about doing business with John Deere as well!

I need a video or intell on the John Deere 3025e Everything there is needed to know

Appreciate this but man mini x is the most versatile machine and on properly steep country like mine roughly 52ha in the hills the mini x is the go but certainly Appreciate the other machines would be better on the flat.

New door for 1025 jd cost 1400$

What do you think about?Yanmar equipment.

☃️⛄🏔️🏂

Grader Blade and turn it around backwards. It will not dig in only slide over top of the snow !!!!!! I have done it for years !

There's a Stump in there..
