It wasnt really enough to plow,but the way winters are in central illinois,Ill take what I can get.Is there anything better than a brisk winter night,snow rolling off the blade,listening to a M602 rumbling along?I know,Im crazy but I really enjoy it.Anybody else? Moline

We are out here in southern oregon, and have the snow removal contract at a local shopping mall. We use a 1960 G-VI with a Cancade 9ft blade on the front which works real well. We also have a 445 with a loader and an 8ft threepoint snowblower that we use around our shop. For next year we are looking for a loader to put on a G-1000 if anybody knows of one. Let it snow (smile)

Come to Western , Pa. and plow snow for me. I am sick of the stuff. Last night it was a big ice storm. About 1 am today I began to hear the pines breaking off. What a mess this morning. This is the worst winter that I can remember in 54 years.
I could go for a little global warming. This morning we had about an inch of ice on everything. You can't walk on the snow either because it is iced over. When you break through the snow, you drop into about 14 inches of wet snow. My old M won't move on the ice and tonight I will have to put chains on to try to bust up some of the ice pack.

The central states folks are welcome to all the snow they can haul away for me! I'll even load them! We didn't get near the ice here in northern central Pa. that western Pa. got. I been using my (name deleted) backhoe all winter for snow operations and the truck and plow have set. Harvest Gold would look good plowin' the driveway, help yourself!

I used the 604 to plow our whopping 3'' drifts yesterday. I think I was just really bored.

If anyone wants to move snow, come to Northern Michigan and you can move all you want to. Last Sunday when I measured, we had 36" on the level.

Yes, I've been plowing quite a bit lately up here in Lansing, MI area. I use a loader and backblade on a 1963 Jet Star II. I need some weight to get it done good. Dad has his big back blade and his M5. He loves it. Used to use a 5star. It was loaded and really kept the power to the ground. Enjoyable....a man and his machine.

Yeah up here in the tip of the mitt I,ve been plowing snow with three different tractors. Plow about every third day. Wife has been plowing with a truck and a tractor several days per week at the State Park where she works too. Who needs a snowmobile when you can ride tractor all winter long....

Come to central Kansas quick. Bring your tractor, bring your snowplow, dress warm and bring a BIG thermos, it'll take quite a while to plow us out of this mess!

I plow with a 4 Star, 7' 6" hydroturn blade on the 3 point hitch, don't even need chains, if it gets heavy, just lift the plow alittle and it keeps right on going. Think the thermostat stuck, now have to fix the radiator.
