Incorrect, at the end of your push you lift the plow blade and ride UP the pile. My Cub Cadet 70 can make snowbanks 4' high! I can also repeatedly slam into the pile pushing it back. Like I said before its amazing what one will do and mine is way underweight.
That said you're right you need to make space at the beginning of the season. You don't just plow to the edge of the driveway and leave it. One other thing, plowing is fun, snowblowing is drudgery. -Curt Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:03:42 -0500 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] John Deere 318 Message-ID: <52093f9e.4080...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed The catch on the pushing it is that if you get a lot of snow and it does not melt in between then you will run out of room unless you push it way way back. A blower can be used to essentially pile it higher if need be, or blow it over the existing pile. I am guessing that where Jaime is, that the snow likely melts between snowfalls so that it is not an issue. Here in the GWN I don't think the little tractor would do very well. You need a bobcat with a bucket and tracks at a minimum to move snow here.
