I was fighting the same thing and would try my best to load the bucket, but it was such a light, sandy type of snow that once you broke the sleet layer, it didn't do much. I still haven't dug out back towards the barn and wood shed, that's this weekend's (excuse to get outside) project.

Ahh I see that now!! Great info, thanks!!

I like the quick hitch weight additions. I might have to try something similar or stack some old dump truck drums on the blade if we get more this year.

If you find a 7' for a good price, you can always add some weight to it if it's a lightweight blade. Also, if you find it's too big, you can always cut 6" off each side. I think a 6-foot with some offset ability would be perfect for our size tractors, though. The blade I have from my buddy...

Unless your wheels are very loose, I'm not fully convinced your rotors are moving; the holes look normal. We have a fleet of over 200 SuperDutys and I have been doing breaks on them for 20 years. I don't see anything abnormal, are there witness marks on the threads of the wheel studs? I'd be...

I wouldn't hesitate to grab a rear blade. You'll find another use for it, or sell it later on. My biggest issue with mine is that it's on long-term loan from a buddy who has no current use for it, but it's also 7' wide and very lightweight. With that snow we just had the B2650 had some rear...

Yeah, this snow is a mess! I spent 3 hours yesterday getting some sort of access out to the road. My driveway and parking area are still an utter mess. The rear blade on the tractor was just more or less pulling me wherever it wanted, and the B tried to get stuck a time or 3. I picked up a...

Been watching the weather all week. Looks like we won't be avoiding our share of winter storm Fern. Looking like 6-9 inches of snow with a hefty chance of large amounts of sleet and possibly freezing rain to top it off. Not excited for the snow, even less excited for the ice. Got the...

I think you've posted how before. How do you store your stacked wood if you're moving from not covered to covered?

I'd look on facebook marketplace or craigslist or similar in your area. I've found many of my implements on marketplace for great deals. Also see 4' cutters often.

Ahh, I haven't had the urge to do any digging around here haha. Good luck with it.

The wet season...what weird vortex am I in just down the street from you?? We haven't had squat for rain and all the neighbors ponds are looking pretty low, if not empty.

I'm thinking of updating to a Jotul fireplace insert. I have a Fisher insert, and it will take a helluva long log and heats the house well, but it's a hungry stove... I'd like to lower my wood consuption some, plus I'd love to be able to see the fire like when it was just a fireplace. I have...

Interesting...I'm getting chipmunks and squirrels a little too close and personal with the vehicles. How did you set this stuff out to get them?

This was an interesting and timely decision on Ford as I'm in the middle of evaluating our first year EV pilot using two Lightning's :LOL: . I manage the fleet for a large water utility in Northern VA and our board wanted to test the viability of EVs. They did not take the recommendations...
