Last three evenings were spent scraping and pushing snow with a skidsteer around the yard. Had only done it 1 other time this year (borrowed skidsteers each time).
a) skidsteers are too light to be scraping and pushing that much packed snow
b) I have giant piles of snow everywhere now!
c) I hope to have my backhoe operational soon.

Its doing a good job once I get down to traction but even when I am down to the dirt, it doesn't make it too far scraping up the 8" packed stuff. Once the scraping is done, pushing it is all good. None of this would have been an issue if I had done it more throughout the year! Oh well. I am trying to push it a ways too. Get it over the hill into a different drainage area or across the road. That is time consuming for sure. This machine doesn't have the 'go faster' button like some do!
