Jed...try a back blade 5 or 6 ft wide on your 3 pt. Gives you weight and they can push or drag at any angles. Some even tilt. Only downfall is no floating on 3 pt.

Re: ATV for Plowing Snow?
I used to have a 7' rear blade that I wound up selling. I didn't like it for snow work. I was either driving backwards and pushing or driving over the snow and pulling. Plus, I'd have to take off the 6' brush hog I normally leave on there and that's a royal PITA.

Re: ATV for Plowing Snow?
My dad uses my kubota for most snows. When it gets really deep he uses his Ford with the 6 ft. blade. I welded mounts for snow plow pucks so he can just let it float on the asphalt. He has the same complaints as Jed, hates driving backwards and driving over the snow first sucks. I also have a box scraper on my kubota that's good for shoving the last bits of snow off the sides of the drive way.
Mostly I just make sure I'm out of town for the big snows!
F*** work.

Re: ATV for Plowing Snow?
Phil picked up the freebie snow blower today Used my dad's DR snowblower/brush hog (rip :sadface: ) to drag it to the driveway then just man handled it into his van.
Man that van of his. Sooooo useful for everything. Want to buy one. I Have nissan NV's at work and I want to take them riding every weekend hahaha. Super drunk. Sorry in advance.
