[QUOTE="raider, post: 300845, member: 353"] thanks, but i would not be comfortable using any blower with my situation and layout... if i could, i would because i do understand the value and time savings there... after any bucket is full, you're just making trails the rest of the push... that's where a pusher really shines if you have the weight to push it... i'm an old farm kid and have been moving snow for 40 years... i worked 3 winters, including the last bad one we had around 2010, commercially moving snow in the oil patch with 2 to 4 yard loaders, skidsteers, and tractors from 100 to 250 horse with loaders and blowers, and ran a 9300 john deere with a 16' degelman 4 way blade (that was fun)... the bad winter i had over 1000 hours of seat time alone... i also sold equipment for 3 years and ran all types with buckets, blowers, and snow pushers, and understand where they all shine and where they don't... the push i have is very long... i'm looking at a 35 to 40 horse tractor to be nimble enough to do the other things i want to do and would prefer no cab ($8000) for all but probably a hand full of days per year... i could go with a 5' pusher or a kage system along with a ballast box on the tractor to do cleanup on nice days after storms if needed... i would prefer an angling truck plow for most situations if i think it would work... also, i do have access to a 2 or 3 yard loader if shit gets real... truck plows and engine driven wheel loader blowers are about the only snow removal stuff i have not run and know absolutely nothing about... thanks all for the comments so far... anything truck blade wise you would stay away from???
