I just pushed a huge pile of wet heavy snow like it was nothing.

I still learning to be smooth on hydros. The rear diff lock with 4wd is also great, it easily pushed 300-400lbs of wet snow. The thing holding it back is traction, it need chains on the rear. I figured out that it’s easier to push the snow into a long pile, then blow the pile. It clears our drive way so quick. Where has this been all my life?

I used to plow my yard with ATV. started with a big red 3 wheeler, then suzuki quadrunner 250, then a vinson 500. second the snow is heavy I had to take out my old snowblower and pass for 2 hours.

This year i bought a 2011 Kawasaki teryx 750 with a 6 foot plow, and i am very impressed so far. I couldn’t justify having a tow and a tractor.

A couple years ago I cleared the driveway with a Terramite T5 baby backhoe. After the first hundred yards or more it starts to get cold and nasty.

This also has a mower deck & bucket. Right now they are removed for the winter. So it was easy to justify since it be used all year.

This is a 2008, and my dad bought so I would not know.

I’ve thought about fitting a blade to our Craftsman 25hp, but it’s RWD with no LSD so I doubt it could move itself let alone plow snow, even with chains.

Weld the diff and put on chains.

It still has to function as a tight turn mower.

Install a hydraulic handbrake, and drift corners.

Don’t bother. I had a Craftsman 22hp mower with a blade. It was way more trouble than it was worth. They’re useless in anything more than 5" deep, because the blade is so small. Traction was fine with weights and chains, you just had to take so many swipes it took for freaking ever. I now just have a 21" single stage Toro that my dad garbage picked for me, and it’s way faster than dealing with that tractor.
