Looks good. Two things that you might try next time, install a bucket level indicator so the pusher is level with the ground and the entire shoe rides on the ground and no down pressure. Those pushers are so deep it's difficult to perceive by eye how the shoe is riding on the ground. You can push more (and steer somewhat better) if all 4 wheels remain on the ground. That is a really nice tractor and pusher combo you have there. :) You'll figure it out. Takes a little play time
If you regularly get that much snow a front mount blower would be better. It would cut your seat time by at least half and you probably wouldn’t run out of places to put it.
Say what !!! 😮 16 inch of snow that will make a great video action pack snow tractor video for sure !!!👌👍😊 Keep up the snow works and have a great week end Cheers !!!
Hey there Mike!!! I watched this video the other day and commented, but today I don't see my 'thumbs up' or my comment. So here it is again. That's a lot of snow you guys got in a short time. That snow pusher is awesome eh!! And the chains sure make a difference too!! What you need now is a cab!!! Take care!!
That was the big thing I didn't like about HST tranny. You Gotta Rev the piss out of them to get any amount of power. I Bought the Gear Drive and Run 1600 to 1800 pushing the same amount of snow and Only use 1, 5 gallon can in 50 hours of operation.
@@AkDadStuff I sure know that is. I sure glad that I don't have 16 inches of snow in my area. It is to early for that where I live. I am actually sitting on my porch relaxing in my shorts and a tshirt . Trying to make the most of it. I know that soon that white stuff will be here to.
I pushed for a couple hours today with my little BX2380 and SPL1060. Worked great with just the front steering chains, not sure I'll take the rear chains out of the bag. Pusher makes it possible to take all my snow over to my neighbors house, all in the spirit of giving.
I do heavy recovery so I spent my day doing winchouts instead of playing on tractor. Longest trip of my life out to Eielson this afternoon, got stuck behind the state plow convoy 🤦🏻♂️
About the only good advice I have for you is to "throttle up" lol, def a great video and good to see the tractor getting a workout. like the other 96% of your viewers, I'm in shorts today, going to rake some leaves up, we did have almost 2" of the white gold last Friday here in NWNJ, and it did stick to the pavement, but melted off in the afternoon.
Pushing power!!! I see you use the brakes for steering. I use them 50% of the driving time! I think they are meant for constant use, as they don't seem to see much wear after many years. At least on that old Case! One trick I can tell, when I scoop a windrow that is not centered on the pusher, I anticipate and begin the push by applying a slight amount of braking and will increase it as the piles grow unevenly in front of the pusher. This is to avoid the sudden major steer braking that will cause the other wheel to spin and lose traction. I bet the ballast in the wheels combined to the chains made you gain 2-3x the traction you had. Thanks! BTW, we are in the mid-60s here all week long. Very unusual, but we will take advantage of it!
I know blowers aren't cheap, but with those kind of snowfalls you only touch the the snow once with a blower. No snow piles , blow it in the woods never to be seen again.
Heyhey Marty I just can't justify a Blower yet. We generally do not get deep heavy snow like this. This was a record snowfall for us. Thanks for watching
hey Daniel I have been using float and I think that is the issue as the snow piles up it lifts the front of the tractor. I have started in future videos started not floating and it seems to keep the wheels on the ground. Thanks for watching
Great video. You got the snow i want! I have yet to get to use my new 68" rear blower. But I LOVE my 72" front snow pusher for my L2501, they are awesome. I have a video on a homemade $10 bucket level indicator that made a world of difference in my efficiency. I think you're bound to set a record on the snowpile contest this year.
Hey hey Colin Joseph down below is correct money is the only reason I have not. But then again we usually do not get this much snow all at once. Thanks for watching
Hi Mike, I don't quite understand why but I love snow moving videos! That is quite a bit of snow this early in the season! I have a few questions, if you find time...between your little "snow flurries" 😉. What were your deciding factors when you choose the snow pusher? What style of tire chains do you use? Would you make any changes to your setup if you were starting from scratch? I ordered a B2601 with several attachments (one is a front mounted snowblower) and am praying that it is delivered b4 we get another good snow storm. We got 8"-9" about 3 weeks ago and had to use the walk-behind 😓. I chose the blower for the primary reasons that I hav a narrow driveway and don't have room to pile it up. I have to put it in the woods and yard. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, everything looks beautiful with all that white stuff around! What area of AK are you in? I live in the Idaho panhandle.
Heyhey Domenic here is a link to thae chains that I have. www.tirechain.com/Tire-Chains-Studded-Tractor.htm I don't think I would change much it has been great from day one. I would get a snowblower if I had the money. But thats another story. Thanks for watching
That pusher blade does a great job! I wonder if you can add weights to the front end? Might help with the steering. All I got besides a walk behind snow thrower is a Cub Cadet XT1 with a 46" blade. I found if I leave the mowing deck in place just that added weight allows me to steer better. Best Regards, Jay
Heyhey I am realyy happy with the snow pusher. The problem is that as I push forward the loader lifts the tractor so my front wheels come up. Thanks for watching
The wife wants to know how a grown man can spend 20 minutes watching another grown man plow snow. I told her if she doesn't understand she never will. I love to plow snow and even after trying to explain it time after time you still get people telling you to buy a snow blower. I guess they mean well but them damn are very expensive plus if you did get one I guess some of them would tell you to buy a heated cab so the cold snow wouldn't blow back on your face so much. I live close to the Mackinaw Bridge in Michigan and our snow is on the way.
Snow blowers are very expensive, a lot more maintenance than a blade or pusher, don't work in all kinds of snow, especially the wet heavy stuff, but a great tool to have in your toolbox if you can afford it. They do solve the "where do I put all this?" problem very well.
An early out? Probably without pay. Looks like you were working harder at snow moving than you'd be at work. Gotta weigh the importance of things. Wish driving roads were scraped down as good.
Wow. That’s a lot of snow. Tractor is pushing it great. I see you using your breaks to try to turn. I’m not an expert but that could be bad for them with all that weight in the pusher. Great video 👍

Impressive how that little tractor will push
It sure will push alot
Beautiful scenery Mike. But just letting you know,I wore shorts today😊👍
@hamiltonvillefarm it was 35 below zero 2 days ago and warmed up to 25 above today
If you regularly get that much snow a front mount blower would be better. It would cut your seat time by at least half and you probably wouldn’t run out of places to put it.
Heyhey A snow blower would be great but they are too expensive for me. Besides the more seat time the better. Thanks for watching
You are having to much fun, lol
Using the float function will help with steering. Use it by moving the lever past the full down position.
The float works fine until you get a big load up front then it rides up. I have moved huge amounts of snow and have found what works best
Say what !!! 😮 16 inch of snow that will make a great video action pack snow tractor video for sure !!!👌👍😊 Keep up the snow works and have a great week end Cheers !!!
I was impressed how well the snow pusher worked. Nice video.

No worries Mike. Maybe it it will show up as an extra view me. LOL Take care my friend
Holy cow! Send some snow down to Oregon. We need it. Thanks for sharing and stay warm!

Wow. You sure have a lot to get rid of. Maybe you should look into a rear mounted snowblower attachment.
Heyhey Bill Money is all that stands in my way. LOL

Ho man we are all ready there LOL.I think your gona win the biggest mountain of snow this year LOL.Have a nice weekend and stay safe.
Omg 😱. Good luck AK!
Thanks for making great vid
Do you use the float function???
Hey Aaron I like to drop it into float then pop it right back out until I get to the end of a run. Thanks for watching

Heyhey Joe all your other advice has paid off for me so far. The chains are amazing as is the pusher. Thanks my friend.
man that snow pusher really does a great job. you really got slammed with snow. stay warm my brother have fun!

Try float using mode on your loader, if you have that feature

nice job plowing this could be a bad winter .Here in Nova Scotia we are having record highs for Nov 20 degrees we are going to pay for this LOL
OMG! So soon to be getting hit so hard. Hang in there. Thank you for the video.
Hey there Chuck thanks for watching. I love the snow. It means more tractor time.
A snowblower would be good to have on your tractor
just subscribed and love your videos, purchased my kubota bx 2380 amazing machine and absolutely love the B’ series kubota’s
I know you have probably been asked this a few times but why not a snow blower, especially with the amount of snow you seem to get.
Probably because they cost a lot more than a pusher box.
Hey hey Colin Joseph down below is correct money is the only reason I have not. But then again we usually do not get this much snow all at once. Thanks for watching
Did the ground get a chance to freeze? sucks having to go eazy so you don't have to plow dirt.
Heyehey the ground finally has frozen but I still need to be careful on the gravel. Thanks for watching

Hi
My name is Paul. I'm new to the channel. Loving the videos.
Just wondering why not a snowblower on the front of your tractor.
Hey hey Paul I would get a snow blower but they are expensive and I have not made any money with these videos so snow pusher it is. LOL
