I just measured 16'' here. And it's still snowing!!!!!!!
How's everybody else doing?

I was busy getting my John Deere fitted with a 42" snow thrower. I have a
lot to clear (no pun intended). Anyway, the pros at John Deere prepped the
tractor for the thrower when I bought it, but I'm guessing they never read
the instructions because they prepped it for an electric PTO; mine is
mechanical, and they knew that. Well, the thrower still fit, but I didn't
like how things looked, belts too tight, etc., so I dug out the original
manual and there it was. I remounted all the brackets and shoulder bolts
and so on, and she fired right. I hit the 15" of wet spring snow and she
plugged up like a fat man on a cheese diet.

We have Ford 1100 with a standard PTO but we also have front and
rear hydraulics. We also have a very long (200 ft) driveway,
uphill....we use a front blade to plow...forget the snow
thrower...get a blade... (but we didn't have to this year! hahahah)

Whoever wants to!

I had a snow blower on a garden tractor long ago. The old
belt drive type. Man did it throw the stones!

Backpedal alert!!!!!! Backpedal alert!!!!!! Backpedal

It's now ''ice'' instead of ''plowed snow''.

But a SUV will do better in 9 inches of snow than a layer
of ice.

My Ford 4000 has a front bucket and rear blade ( on the 3
point hitch ) . The rear blade is easier on a stone
driveway, but hard on the neck.

idiot! It wasn't Mooron's post.

I had an 8' blade on a 4WD Kubota. Takes it down to the dirt. The 6' snow
thrower kept sucking in rocks and logs, the auger was always bending up. You
can use th front bucket to claw your way uphill when the going gets tough.

Wet spring snow = maximum fun!

Amen!
