Battling the Blizzard: Big Loader vs. Epic Snowstorm!

What happens here

Different types of snow, such as light fluffy snow versus heavy wet snow, demand varied operational approaches and can highlight equipment limitations. For example, light, fluffy snow might be easier to push but accumulates quickly, allowing for high measurements (which can affect billing for professional services). Be aware that smaller machines, like a Bobcat skid steer, may be less effective for large volumes or heavy snow compared to a powerful 74 horsepower front-end loader. Matching equipment to snow conditions is essential for efficiency and preventing strain on the machinery.

Goal: Adapt plowing technique and equipment choice based on snow conditions.

Tools and materials

  • Front-End Loader — Evaluating and pushing various snow types
  • Skid Steer Bobcat — Handling lighter snow removal tasks, mentioned as a comparison point

so that's what he got in right there man leave it right there leave it right there leave it right tlbs the reason we used to PL with tlbs is cuz you can buy a tlb for next to nothing cheap aable and you can TR charge the same rate as a loader get get doing it at a fraction of the cost so it was a way to optimize the hourly rate I don't know why some TVs were so cheap back in the day it used to be by tlb for 10 20 grand knows a decent machine SH now of course you can't do that lucky they get out of a grocery store for under $500 stand get 7:30 I was on the Bri view properties and Maple Grove this morning get in at 7:30 Donald pror not in this lot I was a front mount blower on a 40R SP track with kept those are good depends on your snow your skids pushers won't push anything any concrete snow we just oh yeah concrete snow does make a difference what you're trying to do when you get concrete snow this ain't that this is the perfect snow perfect snow meaning light and fluffy but the measurement is high so we can charge
