Well, anybody that wished for snow should come and get some of mine.
We've got snow piled up everywhere and I've plowed so dang much snow this winter that for the first time, I see significant wear on the cutting edge of my heavy duty bucket. The box scraper with scarifier teeth removed has worked great either pulling or pushing snow, and I like the extra weight on the back. The angle blade has been behind the barn all winter and I might even sell it this year. No failures of any kind with the Grand L and its easy on fuel. I love this little beast of a tractor but if I keep it, my long term plans include a quick attach conversion for the loader and good tire chains, and maybe a simple aftermarket cab, and maybe a front plow or snow blower, and ..., and a ..., etc.

M7040 with a 9' front blade and 9' rear blade offset pushing right and left, rear chains and couldn't make max rpm in 3rd high wide open. The piles are higher than it can stack and everything is building up hugely. Even grooved the front tires to get a little more side traction, it helps but only a bit.

I'm not sure how many feet of snow but we're sure burning through a lot of diesel clearing everything out.

I hear ya Big Orange what a pain. I am down by Belfast. I have my place and my shop to take care of. There are always atleast 20 cars at the shop to clean off. I am ready for spring. But has been nice to break in the L3200.

6 Hours yesterday clearing snow and more coming today. Problem is after the freezing rain we got last week I slid off the road twice and had to get towed out. I think soon I'll install a winch on it...problem solved.

Caught a break today I think??:confused:
snow did not come just 1 inch but now rain on top and 33 degrees
It could rain for a week and not make a dent in all the snow.
Time to sit back and wait for spring, too bad the ground hog saw his shadow:eek:
