Snow removal with the Country Squire 12/14/22

[MNGB]

Went in this am and pushed snow with the CS the snow is really wet and sticky so much so that when moving it the snow just stayed ahead of the blade built up pushed ahead so that was nice no spilling out the ends of the pusher.. But once you stopped pushing and left it for 5 10 minutes it was solid and not wanting to move. When I got of the CS to take the pictures and got back to go forward the CS just spun backed up about 2/3 feet to a run at the pile and it broke loose and got it to the stopping point

What gear you use for that stuff.
I know I use Hi gear for the most part..

Wet snow and below freezing will do that.

Now that looks like the snow we get most of the time here in the Pacific NW. It's nice when all the snow stays on the blade and you don't have to run around doing cleanup. As long as you keep it moving it's like it's on a sheet of teflon.

Would be quite a push for the tractor Gary. You’ve just made your self a concrete wall for the winter. Hehe.
Does a nice job.

Hi Noel it an 88 7.3 diesel 5 speed manual bought it new in 88 it only has 126000 miles on it runs and starts good needs a complete exhaust though but since I only use to plow snow I never get around to getting the exhaust replaced can't remember the differential gears off hand

We have 2 from that era. Both are extended cabs with 460/Auto for power. The '88 is 2wd and the '89 is 4wd. Both are the same colors with the only difference being the roof and back of cab and pillars being tan on the '88. Traded a case of beer for the '88 which had a broken cam in it. Engine is torn down waiting for us to buy the parts to fix it.

Another .4 hrs on the CS this afternoon cleaning up and now we are getting light snow again, probably a good thing I changed oil and serviced the CS last fall the way this is looking

That CS pushes $n@w like it has OCD! Every pile it pushes looks just like the last one---LOL! It's a great workhorse, Gary! So is your '88 F-250!
