I plow in medium, using a snow pusher or back blade on my L4701.

I traded my B2301 for an L4701 a couple years ago. Boy am I happy. As other said, I guess keeping it changing the implements kind of depends. I kept my forks, but got a wider snowpusher and back blade. Good luck with your decision!

Maybe you can rent a BX from Home Depot to do a test run before purchasing one?

SOLD!

Big ol’ three point hitch mounted PTO powered buzz saw. Great for slicing up good sized limbs for firewood – it’s faster and nicer on the back than a chainsaw. Check out this video of it in action: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12eJttP8zCAe--wc7SyylhPQMFnntE5l0/view?usp=share_link Works...

Excellent! I love the blower on mine. I look forward to seeing some photos of your operation when the sap’s running. I’ll share some too!

Awesome. I started on cinder blocks, went to a homemade 55 gallon drum arch, and now have a very similar 2x3. (Did we talk about this in the past? I’m terrible at remembering people I haven’t met in person but this is ringing a bell.) I think you’ll be very happy!

Nice! Who’s the maker of the evaporator?

Hey thanks. I considered creating a build thread in projects, but was leaning against it because it’s gonna take me so darn long and I figured it would be too slow and boring a thread. The frame was cut in September 2022 and then money got tight so the project has been floundering. But, maybe...

Carried some timbers for my guesthouse build.

Wow, that’s wild. I would have just used a wedge. Hah. But good for you. Thanks for sharing the pics. Interesting to see how others tackle problems.

Worked on the foundation for my guest cabin. Which is six rocks 😂. I dug down a couple feet, put several inches of gravel in the hole, then positioned the rocks. Hope to finish tomorrow.

Covered up a relocated propane line. I’m not really sure the hoe was worth what it cost, but gosh I’m glad to have it.

Doesn’t everything suck when the gravel isn’t frozen? I mean, if the ground ia above freezing and the snow is like glue, my snowpusher can be kinda annoying. But so it the bucket, or an angled blade. Maybe snowblower is better I don’t know.

I’m surprised to see so much discussion without asking what type of tires you have. The tires make a big difference. I had a B2301 with R4s, and it was laughably useless in snow. I was flabbergasted how easily I got stuck. Chains made all the difference. I mean it, I’m not being hyperbolic...

I agree: using the bucket for snow in my opinion is much like driving a nail with a crowbar. Works fine, but when you switch to a hammer/snowpusher it’s WAY better! I prefer a snow pusher to the bucket because it’s easier and much faster to not have to constantly readjust the curl angle of the...

I k ow it’s easy to spend other people’s money, but it really is a big difference.

2502! I went from a 2301 to an L series. Huge difference. Not only can it lift more weight, but it can lift it further out and higher up. Another thing I found is spreading gravel/dirt/woodchips is far easier with a wider/longer/heavier machine. I immediately felt like a much more competent...

Haha what a dummy (me)! $4500. Thanks for asking.

I use the hoe for weight on the back. Ya already got it. And it’s heavy as heck!
