Snow Plowing Question

kcm.MN · Feb 24, 2019

I used to hear/read lots of stories about folks using a rear tractor tire to move snow. Haven't seen or heard of anyone doing this in several years. Is it because the big snow push blades (like big box blade) are so common now? I always thought it was a smart idea. Was low-cost (just make the frame), wouldn't break, wouldn't hurt surfaces. Seemed like a great idea.

They pull double duty as manure scrapers.

Last fall I put new tracks on my Cat. Advertised the worn out ones on cl. Must have had 20 calls in 2 hours from people wanting them for scraper/pushers.

I plowed snow for a commercial outfit for 12 years with my skid steer and a scraper like the one in your second picture. They always put me in the parking lots because I could gather the snow verses wind-rowing it. I also got the short driveways in the townhouses as I could go right up to the garage door and pull back. Another benefit was it would give over and around unseen objects.
