waxing the loader

[IDKUBOTA]

I was talking w someone about snow building up in the bucket while plowing. He suggested waxing the bucket. Simple suggestion and the snow comes out of the loader completely. Waxed the rear blade too, snow comes off of that clean. Pretty simple thing to do and now there is no snow build up. Hope this helps.

Cooking spray such as PAM works fantastic as well for a easy on application.

Many, many years ago (like 35) my wife and I lived in Maryland, and we briefly took up skiing. We skied big mountains like Roundtop (vertical feet 550). We were too cheap/poor to buy expensive ski wax and used silicone spray. It worked wonderfully on cold snow. When the temperature reached above 32F and the snow got soft in the sunshine, the silicone worked just like glue: One could stand on a steep slope, skis pointed downhill, and be unable to move. PAM, ski wax, oil – OK. Silicone – be prepared for surprises. We had lots of surprises, but still had fun. For a real thrill, try silicone spray (I don't even know if it is still available) on your plow. Let me know how it works!

Been using the Walmart Silicone spray in the Blower shoot, and that works great with the slushy white cement... I think I really like the idea of waxing the Bucket, I am going to give it try...

I agree with what has been said. The only other thing I do is pull my tractor out of my basement garage and let the blower or scoop cool down before I start. My basement garage is not heated, but is above freezing. If I start right out of the garage, it can create ice, especially on the auger and chute.
