That pusher looks like it will get the job done.

We had about 6 inches of snow here today, pushed for about 9 hours with one of my skidloaders with a 84" wide bucket. Busted the cutting edge on a water valve box.

And by the way, it's no longer "Global Warming" it is now referred to as "Climate Change".

I could use a few passes of that pusher on a job we were going to start this week. We got 10" today. The job may have to wait a while.

18 days until spring!

I noticed Sunday that the grass
is ready to mow out back, but
the snow flakes in the air kind of
killed the mood.

Yeah, I would like like a fool mowing when it was snowing!!

Half the yard could use a mowing, or maybe this year will be the year to buy some sheep to stake out in the yard.
