I would buy a tractor. You can use the right one for almost everything especially having all that land. You can buy a bucket, forks, backhoe attachment, auger, bushhog, stump grinder, garden plow, etc. won’t need all the attachments at one time but you can always grow into a tractor for years to come.

Hey Shawn, that back blade is amazing!!! Be really careful about pushing snow up against that chain link fence...you can bend-bow it back pretty easy with that heavy snow. When we ran out of room to push the snow, we had to come in with a skid steer and move it to a place in the corner or in the yard. Be really careful about pushing the snow back to high & getting stuck in the pile, then have to wait on a tow out. Snow is MONEY though..

Hey guys not wanting to sound like a know it all or smart - well you know but anyway if you will fix the spot where your truck sits when you’re loading the salt will make it easier cause you will be able to see what you’re doing. Take some gravel or dirt and build up the passengers side of your truck only. Again the off side only cause it raises that side up and it will load much easier. Only raise it about 6-8” and try it first then go more if you need it. Hope it helps you guys it did us when we load coal trucks. Also it will let you get the salt all the way over to the off side.

Around 7:15 mark: For your safety concern at the salt loading ramp, I'd weld about a 5-6' post on the edge of that vertical plate sticking straight up. Watching you two get on and off the truck, it would give you a grab post. Might want to do that on both ends. You could make it detachable if you want. (edit was post length.)

At least the people that shouldn’t be out know enough to not speed. Around here we get so little know they haven’t figured out how to drive in it. I just thought how cool it would be to have a little salt spreader on the back of your Toro. Plow with 1 end, salt with the other.

8:14 should if your budget allows make the loading area u have now more by where the plow on the truck is and then by the hoop house have that same grade you have now for the bobcat so your pretty much making like a C so u can back the truck in to the little cut out load both sides of the truck. Cause I bet it’s going to be tiring or there’s going to be an accident god forbid.

An inexpensive way to deal with the loading task problem is to raise the passenger side of the loading ramp. This will cause the truck to tilt so the center of the bed is closer to edge of the bucket. I’ve seen this technique used and it works well.
