Giving up your teddy bear for an electric blanket works for winter but sucks in the summer Gerry.

My shovelling is done in a heated Bobcat.

I remember having an unheated cab and dressing up, it`s ok if it`s not really cold. Do you have a blade for it? I like mine, it`s great for doing driveways.

My last place was an hour to clear on a light snow and up to 2.5 hours after a heavy snow. Had a 14 tree long driveway, then the open area that serviced the shops, was big enough to turn around a b train, then there was the round about that serviced the house and garage.

Just the toothed bucket it came with but keep looking for a smooth bucket that is in good condition and not too $$$. I do 2 neighbors driveways also and need to pile the snow not just push.

Is that by hand, snow blower or?
A toothed bucket works great for really hard packed snow and light ice. I can pile snow with the blade but it`s quite limited. I find used buckets, if they`re in nice shape, most of the time are too over priced.

With the skid steer. That's why i'm still looking, most want too many $$$$. At least mine is a deep bucket and can move a decent amount.

I had a large bucket that I sold when I bought my blade, 4-5 buckets and my gavel truck was full.

Bobcat was a variety depending on what Billy was doing job wise that day, sometimes I'd get stuck with the 437 and a 5' bucket but usually the 650 was in the yard as it had the quicktach and I usually was the guy who got to drill holes, plant posts and remove spoil. Also the guy who had the coal hold. Did ground thaw during the winter and rented part of the acreage back to Billy until he bounced a check off me
