You need a bigger tractor. Good video though. If your wife did that, please tell her
she's got great camera hands.



"I'll tell her. She took it with an iPhone.

That pile is about as high as I can go with the amount of lift on the
bucket. I almost flipped it over backwards piling up snow in a different
part of the driveway. It started climbing up the snow bank and I could
feel it starting to flip back when I dumped the snow. I put the weight
box on the back down in a hurry.

It's an amazing little tractor though. I've had it for over
14 years and it has done a tremendous amount of work with no problems
other than a flat tire once. I have the back hoe attachment for it
also. That's when I get really dangerous."


Kinda Wish I had some type of tractor...or even a half decent snow thrower.
I was out this afternoon trying to dig out my roof rake, that we buried under hard snow scraped off the back deck.

I'm getting a bit concerned about the snow load on the addition roof, which isn't as steep as the main roof.
Gave up about half way through after giving using the ice chopper and my snow shovel.
Tomorrow I may dig out my round mouth dirt shovel to see if I can make better progress.



Yeah, we have a large 4 season porch that has a deck above it (flat). I
shoveled 24 inches of snow off it after the first storm but now I
need to do it again. Not much I can do about ice dams. Roof is way too
high to reach and rake.
