I have a Kabota 21 horse diesel tract with a 4' bucket. It is kind of small for what I want but it is usually good enough.

It is snowing hard here now but I don't know how much we will get. It is coming in sideways and the temp is flirting with zero. Supposed to be cold for about ten to twelve days.

Upper 70's, close to 80* here for the next 5 days.
Spring's comin'. Dang Barry......our winters late this year, lows in the teens and highs in the twenties for the next few days. Not much snow predicted down here in the river drainage but the folks up high are fixing to do some shoveling.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

When it snows I spring into inaction and wait for spring!
Or I shovel...

Almost a guarantee of no snow now! That works for me! I'll hang that plow at the beginning of every winter, and ward away all that deadly white stuff! Like a Shaman's charm, should have done it years ago!

It's coming down pretty good here with a little breeze behind it. Danged if I didn't take the box blade off my TC 30 last week after not seeing a skiff of snow all through Dec and Jan.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Our forecasted 3” turned into 8 or 9.
Just hope it stays below freezing for another 5 weeks.

Snow removal is very likely to keep me away from a couple of properties I've been watching in the real estate listing.
Both are in the Tug Hill snow belt area of northern NY, common annual snow totals over 200 inches, some years 300-400 inches. An area where single lake effect snow storms have dropped 2 to 6 feet of snow.
One listing is about 50 acres, about 2/3 wooded, 3 acre pond, house built in 2007, and a 600 ft gravel driveway. The other property is 116 acres, mostly wooded with some existing food plots and deer stands, small pond near food plots, stream along one border, house built in 2000, and a 1500 ft long gravel/2-track driveway! I think the current owners were only using them as vacation homes, but I'm looking for a year round home.
I'd have to have enough snow removal equipment to rival a small village! Or build a garage out by the town road and use a snow machine or tracked UTV to get back to the house. You can't count on plows alone to work in that country, you need at least a tractor with a bucket or a tractor mounted snowblower to be able to move the snow out of your way when the banks build up. A lot of folks use tractors with a front bucket and a rear-mounted snowblower, but my neck and back start hurting as soon as I start thinking about blowing snow out of a 600 ft or more driveway going backwards.

Depending on how much snow and which driveway, I alternate removal tools. But we get rid of the white stuff with orange machines.
My driveway is only about 175 feet long plus some parking area and in front of the pole building. I use a Kubota BX-1850 with a loader and a 5 foot back blade.
Over at the farm, the driveways are from 300 feet to over 1/2 mile. Over there it's the Kubota M-6800 cab with a loader and 7 foot back blade.

John Deere 5200 with loader on the front and 7’ blade on the back. About perfect for my snow removal needs around the house. JD 5100 with front end loader for the farm.
