Snowblowing problems

I have a 5 foot snow blower on the back of a 35 hp 4X4 Kioti, and I have to run in low range at full engine speed to deal with 1 meter drifts. I also have a Ferguson TO-20 which I am sure could not handle this....no low range means I would be moving too fast combined with insufficient hp.

I don't think the Fergusons are quite up to this job. By the way, I don't have chains on mine so traction is another real problem.

A lot of people were doubtful that the old TO35 would handle a 6' blower. But I've proved them all wrong!

Keep having fun!

I can relate to your conditions. I went to Michigan Tech for 2 years (85/86 & 86/87) in Houghton and the first year I was there, I think they set a record for the most consecutive days with measurable snowfall. I thought they were just trying to make me feel at home knowing I was from Northern Ontario - but man, they had a lot of snow that year.

Made for good skiing, though. I think the name of the hill we liked was Indian Head, and I can't remember if it was still in Michigan or just to the west (I can't remember which state is just west - is it Wisconsin? - I'm having a geography block). There was also an outing a friend of ours took us on called the Black River - a fast moving river that flowed into Lake Superior with lots of scenery.

I've only been back once since I graduated, but I'll never forget what a beautiful area that is (as long as you don't mind dealing with all that snow).
