boovuc 1,090 #1 Posted March 9, 2014 There is still a lot of snow on this mountain. (Ridge to all those who live in the Rockies)! Worked the 520 about three hours clearing enough space off the forestry road for about three trucks to park. March Madness is coming and we will be out there come h#%$ or high snow! Once I got through the crust it was great as long as I didn't dig into the ice pack. I angled the bucket to much one time and tore into that base. I had a 4 foot square soup bowl that swamped the rear wheels when I dropped into it. As long as I stayed on the base, I was fine. I measured about 22 inches of snow still in the open areas when I started. Temperature hit 39 degrees at 3:30 in the afternoon. It was 53 degrees on the valley floor at home before I left. I used my little trailer to get it out there. That is the first and last time I will carry that much weight on that little guy! I thought my trailer tires were made from super ball polymers. What a ride! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,232 #10 Posted March 9, 2014 Yea loader work is fun. I use the loader on my larger tractor to clean the driveway of snow left by the blower (it's set up as high as it will go). To do this I put the loader in float mode and hold the bucket level and it seems to work well until the bucket gets over full then it starts spilling out the sides and eventually the tractor will lose traction and start to spin. At this time I lift the bucket and move it to where I dump it then start again where I left off. A lot of rambling but it is fun to play in the snow with the loader for sure. Looking good.
