Very cool! I hope you like your new purchase. My dad and I bought this little 440B used just about 20 years ago, and my dad was in the thing for one reason or another almost every day. I bought the 54" HLA snow pusher for it two winters ago - and it arrived just in time for spring. Last winter was the first season that I really got to see how it performed, and it cut my plowing time down a lot compared to the 44" bucket. For winter we put plexiglass on the sides, top, and back of the machine, and two years ago I bought a vinyl/nylon fabric door for the front, which makes plowing so much nicer. We used to get out of the cab with knees so stiff you couldn't hardly walk, the door made a huge difference and I wish I would have gotten it long ago. One set of tire chains on the rear tires will help with the snow pusher too. I never felt that I needed them with the bucket, but they make quite a difference and give extra (much needed) traction with the volume of snow that accumulates in the snow pusher.
awesome little set up
Thank you!
Party because of this video I’m picking up a m371 today and plan on putting a 5 foot snow pusher on it

Did it come set up with the older bobtach hook up?
It did. My local Bobcat dealer sells HLA attachments and I ordered it from them for the 440.
