What do you use too plow snow I use a ford jubile with 6 ft back blade for fun and a yamaha 700 rhino with a 6 ft blade anyone else use side by sides
 
I use a Case 930 with Allied Buhler loader with bale spears, I took a 6'Woods Cat.1 3pt. blade turned the blade around, like you would if you were grading backing the tractor. I welded a heavy pipe to the main frame. I spear that pipe with the right hand bale spear, I do not attach it any another way. The grader frame is pushed back onto the bale spear frame. Two passes one out, one back and its good to go. I like to use High side 2nd. Really rolls the snow back
 
All the comforts of a plow truck, none of the problems with no place to put the snow...

22 hp Troybilt tractor with a 42" 2 stage snowblower. Never have to worry about where to push the snow..
 
Usually have the bucket on to help in tight areas.

Snow here in the northern Cascades can be interesting. I have three different setups, depending on the situation. First, I have a 1979 Dodge Power wagon with an eight foot Western blade. (It is a really neat truck by the way, with fifty thousand original miles on it.) Next, I have a 445 Moline with a loader and big bucket. finally I also have a Cub with a loader and a blade setup that goes on in place of the bucket. The best thing that I have is two boys, thirteen and fifteen who handle the snow removal duties, and have a great time doing it.

Most of the time its left to sit(under 6 inches usually)
Have the Case 1816B(M) skidsteer, if it gets too bad put the bucket on the "keep a chain handy" 2440 Deere.
 
Average snows this little guy gets used, great for tight places and don't have to use the shovel much. Big snow and deep drifts the 870 and 8 ft blower come out.

I uase an international 300 utility. 8' blade on the front power angle and lift off of a meyers e47 setup. Double ring chains on the wheels and i can push the blade no sweat. Works good, worked even better after I fabricated a cab onto it. I live in the snow belt along lake Erie in PA. We haven't had much toplow this year but we could be in for a shot o snow the next couple of days. I have tried a blower on the back. I had the power to run it but I just don't like having to go backwards. I have a fair amount of driveway and some hills its just easier with the machine I have now to plow moving forward.
 
Got a small Kubota like Fawteen with a factory cab. I have a quick change for my loader buckets. I have a 6ft bucket that I only use on snow and light material. Its really too big for the tractor for anything heavy. It works good for plowing light snow and moving snow away from my farm buildings and on my 300ft paved drive. I have a snow blower for the back for heavier snows. I have 50 hp Kubota with a 7 ft.rear blade for a backup. Don't use it though as the heated cab definitely wins out as to which one to use.
 
Farmall Super A with the A-60 front blade. Sure beats pushing everything backwards and looking over my shoulder. Someday (in another lifetime with spare summer moments), I'm going to add turn cylinders on that blade. That would make it even handier.
 
OC-4 Oliver dozer, JD 420 tractor (the real 420, not the lawn mower) and my son has a Case skid steer. Sort of a take your pick thing.
 
No snow this year. I have a 7 ft back blade on JUbilee with 3 inch pipe on bottom. 7 ft blade on front of Farmall C for place in country. It has a 4 inch pipe on blade to prevent pushing rock. Neighbor put a blade on his 610 mule, not that impressive, just expensive. I see no need to put a blade on my 4010 mule.
 
Yanmar F18-D, 5 foot Howse blade, and a loader with bucket. BIG chains. Best plower ever.

Back up is a 1945 Ford 2N, chains, 6 foot Dearborn Blade.
And a 1970 something Ford 4400 backhoe. Just because it doesn't say "no". . . ;)

I use a John Deere 1435, cab, heat, lights that light it up like day-light with a 5ft snow-blower with a hydraulic chute. Very comfortable. For side yard, I use a Moline 602 with 7.5 ft Western blade. I have the snow situation controlled.
 
I use a Farmall B with loader and a 28" walk behind snow blower. This winter we haven't had enough snow to use the loader and have used the snow blower only once.

My husband uses this Case DC3 (I think it's a '53 per replies from this forum).

She's been a very faithful old tank!

Nearby son has a plow truck, I"ve got a tractor snowblower, backhoe, 3020 w/ loader, skidloader with bucket and 6 foot hyd blower. Son usually gets here first with plow truck, then trims with the skiddie and blower.
 
JD 2955 with 8 foot Luck//now blower--probably one of the best blowers ever made. 40 years old and can still make the tractor work.In snowy years, I have burned a bulk tank of diesel just blowing snow on the farm; that's over 100 hours on the tractor. Have a JD 2755 with loader and chains for backup.

Last few years My part of Ohio has been with out snow, and it doesn't disappoint me at all, but back in the snow years we adapted a big truck plow to a 4630 for snow work when we got serious about it..

We been using the Gehl 4400 skid steer for quit awhile now, It's cold work without an enclosed cab but it still gets the job done. Do one place get a cup of coffee warm up and do the next place and so on till your done, Sometimes it's a long cold day. Bandit

Have an AC 7000 cab tractor with a BER-VAC front mount snow blower. Nice to ride in the cab heat and watch the snow fly without wrenching my neck looking backward all the time with the rear mount blower..
 
Beauty, ain't it? "8^)

Actually, that's plugged into the same outlet as the block heater on the tractor. The outlet is remote controlled so I can hit the remote in the house when I get up and turn the block heater on the tractor on. That way it's ready to go by the time I have breakfast and a couple of cups of coffee.

The light is so I can confirm that the block heater is on.

I've been using my skidsteer with 3pt adapter and 6' backblade for the last 3 years and like it. I push the blade backwards and with the down pressure it does a good job without taking a lot of dirt or gravel with the snow. For light snow I use the Honda 400 Foreman and front blade.
 

Pic of the mounting. This adaptor plate works great for other implements also. I really like it with my 7' landscape rake for grading and raking rocks and debris when landscaping.
 
If the snow don't get over 6 inches or so I have a Farmall Cub with a plow on it. Around the buildings I use a Case 646 with a bucket on it. If it get more snow than the Cub can handle I have a 2510 John Deere with a bucket and chains on it. I sure hope I don't get to use any of them. So far here in NE Pa. I haven't.
 
case 830 comfort king diesel with ih 80 snow blower and just recent a farmal h with a honey bee loader and 7 ft bucket

1941 John Deere A with a Stanhoist loader, mount an 8' 2"x12" across the bucket. Really low budget, but lots better than a #14 grain scoop.
 
1989 Chevy with 8 foot Western Pro Plow. Heat, radio, PW/PL, etc.

If the piles start to encroach, use the JD 5400 MFWD and loader, loaded rears and half-barrel of "seement" on the three point.
 
Eldon, That looks like a good idea for an adapter plate. Did you build it or buy it? Would it be possible to post some close up photos of the 3 point hookups. If you would prefer an email would be ok if you don't want to post here. Thanks, Mike

It was cheaper to buy than make it. I think I gave $230 for it delivered. It also has a receiver on it so I move wagons around with it also....very slick for backing 4 wheel wagons in the shed.





A ripper I threw together to rip up a horse pen that wasn't draining in the spring. It worked great for close quarters.
