WOW! I don't see how you guys can use a rear 3-pt mounted blade to clear snow. The 3-pt blades have such small or low moldboards. And looking over your shoulder all the time, I cleared our barnyard ONCE with the Farmall 450 and 6 ft Service Fast Hitch blade. Made me appreciate the Farmall M with Stan-Hoist loader with 80 inch wide snow bucket. The Farmall Super H is first string snow mover, chains and weights on rear, 80 inch wide by 16 inch high blade pinned onto a slightly modified Ford loader, modified to mount like an IH #2000 loader. Still have the M, with chains & weights. Both tractors are worthless on concrete without chains, spin a tire a small fraction of a revolution and your on a patch of ice. Been using the loader mounted blade for 24 years. Winter of 2007/2008 we had a bit over 100 inches of snow, I had piles pushed up TEN FEET TALL with that blade. My mailbox is across the road from my driveway. Had several mailboxes end up 8-10 rows into the field in past years. Had snow 5 ft deep drift past the mailbox too. I called County DOT and they had it dug out in ten minutes. My blade actually cleans around it better than their trucks, got the grader stuck one winter trying to dig it out, but their articulated 4wd endloader really works great for pushing huge drifts back into the fields, but they never seem to send it out anymore, there's only so far the wing on the grader is going to move snow. The County actually puts up snow fence across from my house and a couple other places within 2 miles that drift really bad. There's still standing corn across the road, so no snow fence needed this winter!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
