The best investment I made on this cold windblown MN farm was a Cobert cattle waterer.
Second happiest was a 3pt snowblower, never ever to use a 3pt blade to try to move snow again. Oh how I hated those years....
Pulling the blade worked poorly. Pushing the blade backwards never worked well at all. It just dug in or lost traction - and that was with chains. I donno how it would work out with reconfiguring for going 'backwards' with the bobcat but just doesn't sound good to me.
Here on the prairie we get a lot of wind and drifting and hard crusts. Doesn't even have to snow & I get 2 foot high hard snow to move.
I'd sooner use the bobcat bucket than a blade to deal with this stuff.
You must be in a warmer climate where the snow goes away on it's own or wooded & no drifting ever to want to try to move snow with a 3pt blade on a low-belly bobcat.
Oh, I had blocked those memeories out, the hours & hours of scraping one bite of snow at a time, then reverse the blade & backing up & piling it into tall banks, then scraping more over, to repeat. And the wind blows over nite & the snow blows in higher than it was, so have to repeat it all again only now no place to go with the snow any more. Shutter. ;)
_So_ happy to have the blower, and I use it in the little open tractor, quicker than trying to fire up a big one.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
