I remember using a push snowblower to clean my lot when I first started. We live in Northern Ontario so we get a lot of snow. I was too cheap to pay someone to do it because I wanted to invest my money in more loads of wood. Fast forward 5 years, I now have a John Deere tractor with a heated cab and I front mounted snow blower. Like is certainly easy now compared to back then. I appreciate and I'm grateful for all that I have. You and I are very similar my friend. I love your stories. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning from Downeast Maine. Obviously you made the right decision when you bought the snow pusher. Years ago, I used to plow with my tractor, and that worked fine for me because I plowed driveways. Now I have the best of both worlds, I have a Super Duty with a 9'-2" v-plow! The v is great for deep snow and I can also angle right or left. And if I have a volume of snow to move, just angle both wings forward and you have a huge scoop. Anyway, have a great day, I'm going to do wood today also!

I have a 23 hp compact tractor..I fabricated my own snow pusher..it's 6 feet wide...on the back I have a 6 foot scraper blade on the 3 point hitch . Instead of back dragging with the pusher..I back up to buildings..sidewalks etc and pull it forward with the scraper blade far enough to back up and use the pusher . It saves a lot of time . My tractor is small enough to do sidewalks as well. Just throwing the idea out there..they are reasonable new..but I bought a used one in near mint condition for $100 and I use it year round for grading stone..dirt..etc

One suggestion that you previously mentioned that can save you some time, money, and frustration in the future. Set the pusher down and tilt it so it is sitting flat on the skid shoes, then make your tape mark or whatever on the level indicator rod. Always try to hit that mark. When you have it tilted back you will wear on the back of the skids and wear out your rubber edge prematurely.

I think your thoughts on the pusher vs plow are right on. A pusher sure looks like a better option for parking lots and large open areas. Also, that's all I see the pros using in big parking lots. I have a plow for my long narrow driveway but there's no where to push the snow other than the ditches and its over a 1/4 mile long. Even so there are areas when a pusher would be great like in front of my garage and parking area. You always do your homework anyway so don't worry about the noise.

Chris even an experienced operator would have to plow the site a few times before they figured out the best way to do it. With the heavy wet snow you might be better to use a small portion of the pusher and let it fill up as you go across the lot. If you use the whole pusher and make a short run then back up and push again and back up you'll be driving on the snow before you push it. If it's wet that will pack down quickly and make scraping a lot harder.

I'm thinking you have the right tool for the job, especially with the cutting edge not being steel - your sod would be needing lots of attention come spring time with a metal cutting edge. That is a retention pond - meant to retain the storm water run off from your building and parking lot, allowing that water that might have been absorbed by the ground but can't now cause of building / pavement to be slowly released avoiding erosion. I get the idea of pushing your snow into it but I would be cautious. Where I live way over here in Atlantic Canukistan we often get heavy rain events in winter when the ground is froze. Water has to go somewhere. My concern is if it's full of snow buildup you are decreasing the volume the retention pond can retain, defeating the purpose. Maybe over there in Winter-consin you don't get the south-easters bring wind and rain in the winter. Good job with the pusher, glad to see your letting the tractor warm up - cold is hard on them. I've a little experience plowing with a tractor with a traditional snow plow blade, and lots of experience plowing with a truck and plow blade. If the plow blades are so much better than the pusher why is everyone adding "wings" to their plow blades? :P You'll find what works best for you. Money well spent on the pusher IMHO. Keep after it!
@InTheWoodyard3 жыл бұрын
It is working great so far. We do not usually have fast thaws in the spring, it takes forever. My detention "pond" or as I like to call it waste of valuable space, and money, is a great place for the snow . The supposed drain tube , a 10" pvc tube running to the back of the property has NEVER had water go through it in 20 years, the water just sits there in the ground in front of it for a day or so and then drains down in the soil and disappears. It is a waste of the $25,000 for plans and in DNR approvals I had to spend on it. My rant is done now. Sorry Brian.

A 5x8 3,000 lb. trailer is all you need to start. With that you can haul 2 face cords or 2/3 of a full cord. That is all you need. Find a good used one or borrow one, that is what I did for a full year. I wish you the best in your new venture, now get cuttin'!

You got that right, no production! Only moving frozen water that will melt and run away!

Never lived anywhere that it snows so the whole process is a bit alien to me. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper relying on your weather cycles to melt any snow/ice. I don't know what they are either but from memory in your previous videos any snow seems to disappear pretty quickly.

it should be clear sometime in March. If you dont clear it at all it will just pile deeper until you cant get around in it.

No, the snow keeps piling up and if you do not clear it , you will have a LOT of ice that lasts for many months, like 4-5 months! Some time the end of March!

Why do you buy a tractor whitout a cab, when you living in snowarea?🤔
@InTheWoodyard2 жыл бұрын
Because I like being OUTside as much as possible and I am on and off the tractor a lot and a cab is for people who don't get off much for one, thing also I intend on using it in the woods a lot and cabs don't live long in the woods.

what I will do is get snowblower on your tractor and do that
@InTheWoodyard3 жыл бұрын
A blower would be nice but a good one is about $8,000 and then there is the chunks of stray wood to worry about getting in the auger!
