I have a place on the Up Michigan border and only
get there every few weeks to plow. I have access
to a wide variety of equipment.

F250 4X4 with 7 1/2 Western Plow and about a ton
on the back. - Good for straight, long stretches
but lacks the manuverability of a tractor.

Ferguson TE20 wheel weights and double ring chains
and 6' black blade - useless

Ford 600 wheel weights and double ring chains and
about 500# on the back and a 6 1/2' front blade -
plows well until the banks get too high.

Ford 3000 wheel weights and double ring chains and
snow blower on the back and a 6 1/2' front blade -
plows well until the banks get too high then the
blower is put to work. Differential lock helps.

Ford 3000 wheel weights and double ring chains and
loader. Good for stacking snow and cleaning up
after shoveling roofs. Has a 8' back blade that
carries an extra 500# of weight on the frame.
Good for ice scrapeing.

MM U302 wheel weights and double ring chains and
about 1200# on the back and a 10' hydro turn plow
on a loader frame. Can plow through almost
anything. Only gets stuck when wheel slips off
into hole or ditch.

Up here some mount a 4 X 8 plywood reinforced to a
loader for plowing out a yard. You could try that
to one of your loaders to see how they plow.

Give you any ideas?
