Slush buster…

[Mowbizz]

Anyone ever use their snowblower to PUSH slush of of the paved areas? This morning there was an overnight 2” snowfall followed by “inches” of rain…a slushing mess!
Anyway, I loaded the truck for the dump run then pushed the slush off of my paved areas. Worked okay, not ideal but good enough in the pouring rain.

In these instances, I'm glad I have a rear snowblower, as I can use the FEL to push this crappy slush off the driveway. And if it's only a few inches, I'll use my little lawn tractor with a snow blade. The rear snowblower can "push" the slush, but it's a lot more work than needs to be.

I don't have a snowblower. Sounds like a job for a rear blade assuming you have the blower on the front.

Mine is a front blower. Anyway, my next big toy will be a nice side by side with a PLOW for these conditions. Then I’ll be covered for the everything.

A rear blade would be good but I leave the backhoe on for ballast and have no 3 point kit. A neighbor offered me a free rear blade but I had to decline.

Yup, done that several times, I have even done it with snow, if it's a small amount, and the wind is blowing the wrong way. Just make sure to clean out the blower well after.

Yes. I always stick it into a dryer snow pile and blow it out
