- Plowing a few inches of snow with a John Deere X380 and 44 inch front blade. Filmed with a GoPro Hero 11 in Hyperview because...why not.

Cool video. It did not take long at all to get that long driveway cleared with the blade. You have to live in a snowy area to really appreciate the value of high quality equipment that helps get this kind of work done. I have an x390 with snowblower and love it. Thanks for posting.
What do you think of the snowblower? I debated snowblower vs blade when I bought this. The blade is generally good for up to about 6" of snow at once depending on density. If we're going to get more than that (which only happens once or twice a year), I go out and plow more than once. It's only a problem if we get the bulk of the snow overnight and I'm too lazy to stay up until midnight or get up at 5am for an extra run. The snowblower would solve that problem, but then I'd feel really silly using the snowblower on two inches of snow all the other times...
I have an x380 that I just bought in March at the end of winter. I just bolted on my plow after I removed my mower deck. I'm concerned about traction this winter. Are you doing anything for weights because the X380 has solid wheels so wheel weights are not an option? And I have a hitch on the back for my log splitter so a suitcase weight rack is not an option. I plan to remove my straps on the wheels snd put chains on but will that be enough? Could you provide any insight? Thanks!
I have two of these things: www.homedepot.com/p/John-Deere-Tractor-Rear-Weight-BG20029/100608539 and the rubber tire chains. They just go directly on the frame, you don't need to install a separate weight rack, but I think you have to take them off if you want to hitch something to it. I have the 10P cart but I generally only use that in the summer.
