65 Cub Cadet 100 Plowing Snow

[Radioguy41]

I went through the whole gamut from shovel to walk behind snowblower to tractor and here's where I ended up, inside where it's warm and I can let the horses under the hood do the work while I listen to music. Don't be fooled, the way I have it set up it'll push anything and it'll pull anything. Last year I pulled a fully loaded UPS truck out of the snow down the street from my place. My neighbor has a 4WD truck with a plow and after using it for two Winters he told me he's going to get rid of it and get one like mine. He couldn't get back up his driveway so I drove up and plowed it down so he could make it. Best snow remover I've ever owned. Hint, it ain't your ordinary everyday 4Runner.

It would Probably be fine where I Live Now. But Back In New York it was a Useless thing to Me On My GMC K3500 Traded that In for a Nissan compact Pick Up and Got rid of the Plow with It

Perks of a v plow, long drifted driveways.

Usually I Just hiked in (1/4Mile driveway) and used the Ingersoll with snow blower. The wife would usually be home before me to start using a walk behind snow blower or the Ingersoll 3016PS. Between that and the JD 240 with thrower, we got the job done. Once we got the JD 425, the 425 did the snow removal. Our Landlord and Neighbor would get it with His John Deere or Case utility tractor with 3 Point Blower. It was an aftermarket Blower. That thing would blow dirt & gravel without snow. That how well it was made, but it could clear 6 feet of snow. There were many times he would get to it before I got home, so it just worth having a truck plow. The Army always frowned on me driving my plow truck on Post, it was the only vehicle I had. That got to be a PIA, having to drop the plow before work.
