Quote: 495man (quoted from post at 16:44:40 11/03/22) [quote="MJMJ"](quoted from post at 08:41:20 11/03/22) Other than perhaps a paved parking lot, a loader is all but useless for snow removal.
Plowed gravel driveways for years with nothing but a loader.
Using a materials bucket the width of the tractor it is the most versatile snow removal tool there is really, certainly not the best at every task, but can push, carry, pile, scrape and back drag and can handle anything from few inches to several feet with zero changes other than how you use the joystick.
Front end loader was what I had to use to break through a 9 foot deep and 30 foot thick drift after a blizzard a few years back. Type of storm the government had to use payloaders or V plows to open roads up. Was too much for my snowblower at the time to handle unless I wanted to inch it back 1-2" at a time and wait for it to clear, and that chute wouldn't turn to throw "back" so it would just dump the snow in the valley you were making in the drift.[/quote]
Must have something to do with the terrain. Its hilly and everything is unlevel here. I can t make use of my loader here in the winter in any way, I ve tried. I suppose a blade in place of the bucket would help, but probably not much. I can see using it to dig through huge drifts, luckily we don’t have to deal with that very often.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
