So this is the first winter with my L3010, and so far i've plowed 2 snowstorms that consisted of light powdered snow about 10-12 inches each time. I have quite a long driveway with a mild grade so I have been plowing in mid range (hydro). Don't get me wrong, i love this tractor, but I am a bit dissapointed in it's plowing ability due to I find I can't even plow my driveway without loosing pushing power. I have it turning about 2300 but still seems to die soon as the bucket fills and starts pushing any distance. I'm kind of scared to see what it's going to be like in heavy snow I know I can choose low gear which it may end up to that, but I was wondering if anyone elese with this size tractor finds the same with theirs? The tractor works like a top for everything I go to do, this is just a bit dissapointing. Maybe it's something i'm doing wrong?
