I finally got to play in the snow. All tolled after 4 days we had about 30" of snow. These pics are before the final foot of snow. Special thanks to my wife Nicole for all the great pics.

I COULD SEE THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE. Looked like you was having a ball. Beautiful home and trees also. We lost 32 trees to southern pine beetles apx. 5 years after we bought our home your trees really make me miss ours. Good luck handy

Great pics. I had much the same situation last winter - first tractor and a big snowfalls. No snow this year.

You can make life a bit easier if you get the inside of the bucket totally dry and give it a coat of wax. Will make the snow fall off easier when you are dumping.

Don't you just love that feeling when it snows and you don't have to make excuses to the wife to just go out and play (er, I mean, "work") in the snow? This was our 2nd winter with our Kubota and I wish it snowed more here this winter. Heck, I was out the other day moving the snow piles around so they "would melt faster . . ." Yeah . . . that was why . . .:D

You folks have a beautiful property. The trees look really nice with the snow like that, almost Norman Rockwell-esque.

I didnt have that kinda fun, well not after the first 4 hours of freezing my butt off.

We got about the same amount of snow here this year in Maryland. I have a L235DT with a Carhartt cab.
My little Kubota got a work out. We had to dig our way into driveways instead of pushing the snow.

I got to use a 135hp JD with a cab, and let me tell you that tractor is a lot of fun in 3 feet of snow. Just put the bucket down and drive ! Im about 100k short of being able to buy a new one for myself.
