Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Moving Snow?

So far this winter we have been lucky. Not every year is so open.

How do you country folks move the white stuff?

We just let it melt here.....lol.

I remember that when I was a kid, the town had no loading equipment, just a plow. When it snowed heavily, all of the farmers who wanted a day of fun and fellowship would come to town with their tractors outfitted with buckets and Heat Housers to clear Main Street. The city would reimburse them for their time and equipment. When that was done, many of them had regular routes in town for the clearing of driveways.

If it ain't too cold and the snow ain't too deep I just use the blade on the rear of a small tractor. If it is deeper and colder then I use a skid steer with a bucket.

I’m thankful I don’t have to move any!

If it snows really heavy here, I pull out the heavy equipment...

I moved it with a snowblower until I got this tractor and FEL.

I have a 60" blower on the back of my Kabota and 60" bucket on front.I have been using it a lot this past week I just cleared some big drifts around the barn so melting snow won't run in. The around the house ,I have a 36 " walk behind blower..

I like the blowers because after awhile, if I plow, run out of places to push the snow to the side.

We don't get as much as we used to here in PA, but we have a MF 4610 with cab and FEL, 6 ft backblade for another tractor, 6' snowblower for back of other cab tractor, a 40 hp Agco 4x4 tractor with FEL and a skidsteer with bucket and truck snowplow that we had fastened onto a quick attach mount. The best thing that we do is hook up the snowblower for each forecast storm and then it never gets as bad as they say it will, so we don't get to use it. It doesn't work as well unless we get 6" or more.

Lucky so far this winter.

Couple John Deere loader tractors.

Thats the stuff I used last year.

Have a little John Deere backhoe that works pretty well too.

Lotsa choices Jim.

I use a Troy Bilt snowblower to clear my driveway.

I don't move it; I just fire up the hair dryer.

last winter was a bust........this year making up for it !

Using my Kioti CK 35 with rear blade......

I have a plow on the Honda rancher that I just replaced the wear bar on. I plow most of the neighbors and our lane. As long as I hit it early and often I can stay ahead of all but the biggest blizzard.
Even last year I was able to keep our road open. This year has been mild.
Calling for a high of -5.

I just upgraded to a JD 4610 and neighbor let me put his 5' PTO driven blower on the back. Shovel on the front, blower on the back, works pretty good.
