While we have nothing here at the house, the mountain road I plow for the snowmobilers had finally gotten to the point where I needed to plow it. Track claws worked well for keeping it from sliding, but definitely made it ride rough. Trade off I suppose. Here’s some pictures.

Looks like you're doing a really nice job, I have pushed a lot of things but snow is not one of them.

you really took that down to the road surface---I wouldn't run my sled on that until it snowed again

Well that’s sort of the idea, I plow up to the snow park, then clean the snow park. Then they park their pickups and trailers and ride from there on a groomed trail.

Is that late for snow in your location? And do you have shoes under the blade to set the height?

Well it’s really not late, we can get snow clear to mid late March. It has been late coming, and there is nothing in the lower county. Usually I would have plowed a couple times at least by now.

No skid shoes , it’s pretty easy to keep your height of the ground is froze under the snow. If it’s thawed underneath things get interesting quick.

Its always fun to watch that snow rolling off the blade, the deeper the better! And having tracks to get through the toughest spots where wheels just "sit-n-spin"

You’re welcome for the video, and as hard as the wind is blowing I’ll likely be out next week and I guarantee it will be deeper. It pays well so let it blow!! Lol.
