I couldn’t agree with you guys more. I used to plow with the 520 but now it’s my full-time FEL tractor. Luckily most of my snow plowing is long straight stretches so I don’t have to do a lot of shifting or lifting. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machineguy 876 #28 Posted January 13, 2019 @WVHillbilly520H Everytime I see one of your snow videos I get the urge to buy a 520!!! Thanks for sharing the videos!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,315 #29 Posted January 14, 2019 Craig, We didn't get near as much as you guys to the north west of us, but we had about 9 inches, and an additional half inch yesterday. I used my '47 Cub to move it Saturday, and then again Sunday. That thing can push some snow, but I do wish I had a paved driveway though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 620 #30 Posted January 14, 2019 Where are we going to put the snow if we get another storm next weekend (as forecasted)? I am going to need to shovel snow this week to free up space. Last weekend was the largest snow I have seen in my 30+ years here. The kinda of storm we get every 5-10 years that makes you wish you had a blower. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am lucky out here in the boondocks I can just plow wide. sometimes 4-5 feet on to the grass on each side of the driveway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I had no idea we had a chance to get another 10 or 15 inches so soon. If it warms up tomorrow I may try to push things back even farther. The other thing I did was split things up. I did about 6 inches on Friday night and I did the other 6 inches or so on Saturday and that made things push much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,794 #33 Posted January 17, 2019 I did a little bit more cleanup in anticipation of more snow this weekend. I know this amount of snow is no big deal for the folks who get lots of the white stuff each year, but for us it was a decent amount. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ztnoo 2,297 #35 Posted January 17, 2019 Well, by the forecast, its going to be serious business across much of the US. It sounds like @The Tool Crib, you will likely will be on the warm side of the storm, but the midwest and PA, NY, and New England could get smacked pretty hard. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/01/17/winter-storm-east-coast-midwest-new-york-pennsylvania/2601621002/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
