Do you guys have any snow that you had to move with your tractor yet? We're in NW Wisconsin, any one close got accumulated snow, and how do you move your snow?

Central Michigan - no snow yet, thank goodness! Would be unusual this time of year. Next month, not so unusual...
When I do get snow, I use a back blade on the tractor or a 4wd pickup with front balade.
Been times later in the winter, it got pretty crowded around here, no more space to pile it! (Not last winter.)

No snow yet, and none wanted thank you. But, if and when it comes. We use a 100hp 4wd cab loader tractor on a 8 foot double auger Lucknow snow blower. Two drives at , one at each farm 4 miles apart. Each is about 1/4 mile long. I liked last year, never had the blower on, just pushed a bit. Salted and sanded several times. Bruce

Nothing yet here in Coastal Eastern Maine, and only cold enough to put a skin of ice on the water bucket twice so far.
"They" say we're gonna get a lot of snow this winter here, if so, I'm ready for it.

Not yet and hope not for awhile. And-used to move it with a tractor but now use a Jeep Cherokee with a Western Uni-Mount plow, cup holders for my coffee and radio turned on for the "oldies." (Soemtimes do "cleanup" with the Farmall Super C and scraper blade but that's done less frequently now by old fart me.
We had about 4 inches of snow last week and it lasted for a day, but it is gone now. It was 70 degrees yesterday and I drove my 4 wheeler in my t-shirt. When it does snow I push it with my JD 2550 with 4wd, cab, and loader, or if it breaks, then the JD 2130 2wd and loader with no cab. Have a blower but it is supposed to be sold to a friend. Anytime it snows 4 inches or less, I just drive over it a few times with whatever's running and pack it down. I think I pushed out the lane 3 or 4 times last year. Haven't had real snow for about 10 years, we are likely due. NorthEastern Ontario, half way between North Bay and Timmins.

I use a back blade, but Sweetfeet, how does the snow bucket on the Case work? Do you worry about getting stuck? Chains? I got black top and used the loader once and kept getting in places I couldn't back out of. Would prefer to push, not pull heavy stuff.
Best solution, move south!
No snow here for 100+ years, then Christmas morning 2004 it snows. I went and got the golf cart and began thinking about how I could use it to move the snow off the driveway. I looked through the scrap pile and found a couple of pieces I thought might work, so I brought them out to the barn. Then I went back to get the chop saw and welder but by the time I got back to the barn the snow had already melted. Problem solved.

We had a foot of snow last year on Columbus day the cows got out and went about twelve miles north got em back home and the snow melted And then we got another ten inches thanksgiving week and it melted got a little rain and then no more moisture worth measuring till this fall we have gotten 4 inches so far it has melted I just hope it won't be like last year Use a 4020 with ten foot box scraper To move snow

Had our first accumulation over a month ago now. Had a bigger accumulation about 2 weeks ago and the county plowed the roads but I just packed it down on my driveway as plowing would have been a waste of fuel and would have ended up making a bunch of work putting the gravel back in the drive.
Move most of my snow with a plow on an 86 beater chevy K10. I plow over a mile of driveway and farm road, as well as the farm lot and yard. Use a tractor sometimes to push the snow banks back and to clear drifts, but using a tractor for every snow is just too time consuming. Then again where I live I plow [b:1da518a354]a lot[/b:1da518a354] of snow.....

Just a light dusting of snow that mostly melted here in south Sask. so far. But when the heavy stuff hits I will be ready for it.

I usually use the backhoe or the cat to push snow, we only have a little on the ground right now. There has been lots of years up here where I didnt even have to plow the driveway at all

450 with a 6'10"x4' snow bucket
I usually drive over the first two or three snows to compact/ make sure it stays.

Same here in Sask. We can go right to Christmas with no snow some winters. Others we are moving snow by November. Not a great photo but here is my Cockshutt 40 in drifts as deep as those 13x38 rear tires a couple of winters ago. The McKee blower on the back just kept chewing through the snow although it took a while.
This is today, Oct28, 2012.
I went out snowmobiling yesterday, and we got a Moose. Had him all done, quartered and hanging in the cooler by noon.
There was a lot of snow in the woods, about 2 feet. We have had about 3 feet fall in the last couple of weeks. I'm tired of Winter, and it hasn't even started yet... There's at least 6 more months of this coming...
My new car is useless in the snow, so I'm back to my gas guzzling 6L truck. I can barely afford to leave the yard!
I usually use my quad (Honda 350ES) with a plow to clean my yard, but when it gets too heavy, or needs to be piled up, I get the old Ford 5000 fired up and pressed into action.
Merry Christmas!

Need to get some snow tires on that car. My other half drives a chevy cobalt and without snow tires it won't make it down a hill, mount up the blizzak tires and its goes like a snowmobile.
