The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

Harvey said:
I haven't seen much snow work done with a tractor, but I have seen a lot of truck plowing on my driveway. I would think, it might be less exciting (a good thing IMO) on a tractor.

Certainly the current garage would work if I just get a plow for my truck. That's really the question right now, what garage do I build.

I went to the local Kabota dealer on my lunch break. I took a tape, I was trying to see how much length is added with the front bucket. Looks like ~3+ feet.

The B01 Series, maybe the B2601, with bucket on the floor is 11 feet long
The LX Series, maybe the LX2610 or LX3310 is 12 feet long

Even with the B series it does look very tight. And I have to keep the blower somewhere too.

If I build the 28x34 I think I can:

Get UTV with a blade in year one, and stay with Andy for plowing.

In year 2 and beyond:
Stay with what I did in year 1
Consider a small tractor with snoblower
Consider blade for the truck

Or go to 30' wide now.

I think you are on to something.
 
I gotta see this driveway.
 
What if you got a blower with the UTV. That would take care of your 4 foot storm. Lol

Maybe just get some 2x4s and rally the Prius.

We have a Prius and I've driven it in the snow. Whatever that transmission is, it's the opposite of whatever you'd need for plowing.

I'd bet a real plow did the first pass in that video.
