Blizzard of 2025. 80" in 3 days. Kubota m6 with Cyclone inverted blower gets the job done.

This is about one week after our 80" snow storm.

[@EverythingElliott]

Nice work!

[@RodneyWesling]

My snowblower is on the front so I don`t have to worry about neck and back problems . I blow up to my shop and then use my blade to pull snow way down my driveway so I can use the blower to throw the snow to the sides! When blowng the snow off my road I blow it down hill to keep the snow melt off of my road when it melts it freeeze and its nothing but a down hill ice sheet !

[@curtsiekert]

It throws the snow far and it's kind of cool to drive without the snow blowing back at you, but I just don't like the idea of driving over it first. Lol

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

Driving over it is no issue. I thought so too before I bought my first one. With that being said if you are trying to take a 30hp tractor through 2 feet pulling a blower you will have an issue.

[@tractortyme]

Oh man, I wouldn't mind a good snow. We've had only Donald Duck weather so far in Montana.

[@bwillan]

This operator certainly knows how to use the equipment to its fullest potential. For those freak 7' snow dumps that you get called out to clean up, perhaps a mid grade dual auger read mount rear facing snowblower could be added to the fleet on an as needed basis. I also think the FEL with a straight plow or the bucket could be used in combination with the inverted blower to help knock down big snow banks to make the blowing easier on the equipment. I am sure you have need for a FEL to move palletized stuff around your shop or equipment yard.

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

This is the first one like this since 66. I do driveways with the storm so no need for deep snow equip. I did get called to help out on a few like this one and wanted to prove an inverted can get the job done but would not be the tool of choice. I have skid steers when needed. This was just to prove the naysayers that it can be done. It did great. Thanks for the compliment. 55 years in the seat.

@@coppercitylandscaping5820 I see your point on using what you have for a once in 60 year snow event. If you want to see snow removal mayhem, go watch the recent series of videos from Stefano Narducci in Sault Ste, Marie, Ontario. They got pummel with continuous snow storms for 2 weeks straight at the beginning of December. He runs a fleet of Kubota L6060s, M5-111s. Although he just ordered a M6-111 as the operators of their M5-111s kept blowing up clutches.

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

@@bwillan I chat with him time to time.

[@315-snoblow]

@@bwillananother m5-111 dropped a clutch the other day locally here. I’d need to see the habits of the operator to know if it’s the machine or the operator.

I have seen the efficiency of the inverted method but I do not understand this constant reversing approach

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

What part? The backing into the deep snow?

[@Goldenbarstewart]

I fail to see how driving over snow before blowing it is efficient. What if the drift is 5 or 6' high?

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

I always thought the same. I do snow blowing contracts. Blow with the storm and nothing is better. In the deep a back facing blower would be better. This one did just fine. I did a drift a couple days before that was over the hood of my m6. Just back in and pull away.

[@315-snoblow]

I just cut through a 6.5’ snowbank today with the same blower. Backed up engaged the PTO in a couple seconds and it was 80’ away. Until you have done it, you can come up with all of the reasons why it doesn’t work.

[@roadking8337]

Should have a loader on that tractor as well .

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

Why? You can tell that from the porch? Loader would slow this tractor down in normal snow.

[@generation-x406]

Strange that the blower is on the back and the blowers intake is forward.

[@DillonRehel]

How you like the m6?

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

I like it.

[@michaelminn3341]

Don’t understand the point of the snowblower on the back of the tractor makes no sense

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

Maybe not in your application. I expect you have never tired one? This setup did 210 driveways in one day a couple weeks ago.

[@buyamerican3191]

Not sure I understand the whole "inverted" idea. It doesn't make sense to try to drive through deep snow before you can remove it. It appears that it would work well with light to moderate snowfalls but for the deep snow I think I would prefer the traditional rear-facing design. My favorite style is the front mount making it easiest to see where you're going.

[@coppercitylandscaping5820]

Very seldom do we get this amount of snow. Your front blower works great for some things but not all things. Try blowing up to a garage door and leave nothing in front of it. Rear facing is great in deep snow. Pull type is awesome for residential. Each one has pros and cons.
