Clearing Snow Finger Lakes Style with a Tractor

Clearing Snow Finger Lakes Style with a Tractor

 

We've seen multiple snowfalls this past winter in the Finger Lakes. I've got about 900 feet of driveway to get to the highway. I've got to be able to clear it of snow to get anywhere in the winter.

When I bought the tractor, I was lucky enough to buy a snowblower attachment from the same grower. It attaches to the three-point hitch on the back of the tractor. I drive the tractor backwards to clear the snow.

The snow blower is seven feet wide. I can clear a lane wide enough for a vehicle with one pass and with two passes I can clear the whole width of the driveway. The snowblower throws the snow a good thirty feet off of the driveway and cuts a smooth edge in the snow.

It always pleases me when equipment works well. The final result:

 The final result - How pleasing!
