I used to use a four wheeler with a plow on but after half of the winter, I ran out of room to push the snow to. The yard was getting pretty full. Now I just use a snow blower to clear off the sidewalks and driveway apron, so I am able to blow it farther so no build up. And my plow is a larger homemade unit that uses and electric winch to lift it. I have more power/weight so I can push snow out into the field and keep the yard clear all season. A tractor with a bucket is more time consuming (and without a cab, your sitting out in the cold)
Nice work - good explanation. I wonder what would happen if you put plywood sides on your snow pusher? I may try that - seems like a foot increase in length would mean a lot more snow. Also, since this is a new video maybe you can tell us what is the normal width recommendation (snow pusher) for a given tractor? A few inches wider than the tractor? 3 inches on each side? 6 inches? Thanks. Hope you do move videos. Very easy to watch.
I will have to try clamping them on the pusher and see what happens. I will do a video on it this winter (or maybe a short if it doesn’t go well). For the pusher, I would just ensure it is wider than the tractor. The BX dealer recommended the 4ft pusher to me. I have seen people have luck with up to a 60 inch though. Most believe it is a bit too wide. I have never had trouble with the 4 foot.
I like the plywood! lol I bought a new tym T 264 the spring before last and we didn't get hardly a snowflake! I'm curious, you were having a hard time steering, did you have the loader in float mode?
@@BigGuyLittleTractor thanks for the reply. I built some after watching your video. You are right about having to be careful when you are dumping. I am going to modify mine before the winter. I think I am going to give a little up sweep on the bottom edge. It should help. Thanks for sharing the idea.. PS I used road signs. 😎👍🚜

Try true. I love winter though…
i love your idea with the boards on the basic bucket i wonder if you had a 4 in 1 bucket whether you could find an even better method
I have no idea. I have never used one. I would love to give it a try though

Sometimes is the answer. Steers better when it isn’t for sure.
What size snow pusher and rear grading blade you using?
4 ft pusher and 5ft grader blade.

The negative with a snow pusher is it will sit rusting for 7-8 months out of the year being a one purpose implement.
True. True of any snow implement I guess. I think it really depends on the amount of snow you get
How did you attach the boards to the bucket?
Just with clamps. Super low tech. I have videos on it.
I watched BigGuyLittleTractor videos on the boards to the bucket snow pusher. It is a simple solution and a great idea 👍
Thanks! Just be careful not to angle the bucket too far down or the boards can break. I find it works best with the skid shoes.

I remember you saying that was your plan. I would love to try some metal ones
