Snow Sticking??? Easy Fix

[gssixgun]

So after a few years of trying various "Solutions" to solve wet sticky snow I finally found the fix, at least for me

At the beginning of the season I go to Walmart and buy a new can of this stuff

Why a new can every year ??? Because I am an idiot and inevitably leave it out in the barn to freeze
So if I start with a new can under the kitchen sink each year I usually make it through the season..
It runs about $2 a can
I spray the Chute and the Impellers along with all the inner metal of the blower when I warm up the Tractor, this will allow me to blow slush, seriously this stuff works..

I tried the Pam etc: and it did ok but this is way better and way cheaper

I also will spray the inside of the Bucket and the face of the Back Blade before use in the Spring, and the snow slides right off

Anyone else tried this ????

No but I have used spray wax on the plow and that seems to work and WD40 too but that don't last long,, I will give that a try,, but from looking at NWS it don't look like we are going to get much if anything to worry about. I may have put the plow on for nuttin,,, which is OK

I use silicone all the time. Works pretty good

Living near the gulf coast in Texas works real good.

I use it along the rubber on the car door when they predict freezing rain. Helps keep the door from freezing shut overnight. Works great on snow blade and shovel as well. I thought about trying it on windshield wiper blades, but haven't yet. Used it once years ago, on an old motorcycle seat, made it look like new. But the first hard stop and I slid right up onto the gas tank!

I have used the silicone also, now use Rain-X now think it lasts a bit longer. Use it on the snowplow an blower.

Great stuff, but way to expensive for me to use for that purpose.

I don,t find the price to bad when you buy it by the 5 gallon pail, and put it on with a sprayer.
If you have to use cans, for sure it is pricey.

A very simple solution. Take the tractor out doors and let it idle while you grab some lunch or a cup of coffee. Snow won't stick on something the same temp usually.

That does work if the snow is dry. If it is a wet snow it will stick.
