Snow removal

As winter is approaching it is looking more and more like the 610 will not get rebuilt before snow flys so I'm looking for options for snow removal or ideas I have a John Deere b it doesn't have 3 point but does have pto was wondering if there was a snowblower that would work with it without 3 point 2nd option is a blade on the front. Did they make one for the factory narrow front is it to much weight for trying to steer 3rd option would be a loader did they make one and how are the hydraulics hook up

Thanks for all the replies and options
 
Look for a used manure loader,make a homemade blade from a rough sawn 2x12 to fasten on the loader arms or bucket. It's worked for me for 20 years.
 

You did not state what Model or Year your "B" is...

Mine is a Late Styled "B" with an old (I think) C0-Op Loader on it and 6+ foot steel Blade on it...works well, but I do have Power-Trol Hydraulics.

I would go that route or get the early 801 ( or Aftermarket) 3-point for the rear and then you could use a rear blade..and if your rear wheels are not loaded or have any weights, you
won't be pushing much snow even with new tires..

Forget the idea of using a Snow Blower, you don't have enough...even if you had 50 HP it would NOT be enough and if the Blower was 6' Wide, it would take 1oo+ HP...they do pull hard...

I never really had any trouble running my "B" with temps under 0, but Working Shutters ( or a feed sack over the entire front) will only "Maybe" get the Water Temp above 140...that is better than Cold...!!
Let us know what you have and what you think..
Best of luck getting ready for that white stuff..!
 

I forgot to say anything about Steering with a front loader..!!

If the steering is in good operating condition, a front loader is not really too bad...you just get used to using some "Finesse" ...with any real load on the loader, you don't turn the front wheels unless moving ( at least a little bit ), but in Snow, you will need your Brakes most of the time to help control the front blade. anyway..

I use a 7' Blade on the back of my JD 630 and that Moose don't much care how much you bite into...it will pull so much new snow ( going forward) that the moving snow being pulled reaches 10 ft out in front of the front wheels..(BUT), I prefer to use the rear blade Backing up, with the cutting edge of the blade facing forward, so it will not cut into the gravel..
If the snow gets Packed, no trouble, just lower it going forward and you loosen it right up..

Another thing is the rear blade cannot pile snow up very high..maybe 4' at most..

When I need to pile it higher, I get the "B" out and then the Sky is about the Limit..!!
 
It's a 46 b John Deere no hydraulics and no three point no weight in the rear wheels but they are fairly new with lots of tread so snow blower out of the ? I'm leaning toward a loader would like more model information for loaders and it will be in a heated shop so the starting it in the winter is not a big deal I have a 3 point blade but the tractor with 3 point needs valves so it sits there for now the loader wouldn't be able to be higher than the muffler because it only has an inch or two going into the shop door
 
It might cost about the same or less to by another tractor already set up with a loader and snow bucket rather than add all the extras needed to your B: hydraulics (Power-Trol?), loader or blade, rear fluid or weights, tire chains, and heat houser. You could always sell the extra tractor and loader when the 610 is fixed.
 
If it's not going to be a long time why not find some one to do your snow removal till you get your 610 done. Also the time you spend fixing another tractor for snow removal could be spent fixing your 610.
 
Thanks for the replies the working on tractor time has been cut down with a newborn at home so was just looking for a quicker option someone to move my snow is not really an option unless I dish out quite a bit of coin for it so unless it comes down to me not making it to work I would live with the snow
 
Could look at getting a JD 45 loader. They are pretty common. And if your tractor doesn't have hydraulics, you could run it off of a PTO-driven pump, and install an auxiliary hydraulic oil tank. I had one on a Farmall M for a number of years and it worked great. As others have said, steering is most easily accomplished while moving (especially with a load). Standing still with a full bucket of heavy wet snow will be tough to steer. There are other loaders out there that will work as well - Paulson, Farmhand, Stanhoist, etc. Enclosed is a photo of a JD B with a 45 loader.

How much of an area do you need to clear ? You can actually move more snow faster with a good walk behind snow blower than an old tractor most times.
 
Sounds like the snow isn't too bad where you are. Up here in the snow belt you need something good to deal with the possible 2 feet that is around any cloud system moving in.....

Congrats on the new little one.

Located in central North Dakota and have to clear about 1.5 football fields of snow so a walk behind blower wouldn't work well thanks for the picture of the b that looks like what I am trying to find for a loader now just to find that model loader I have a spare pto hydraulic pump and spool laying around so just need the loader
 
You mentioned a plow for the front. Deere built a ABG90 and a 90 snowplow for A,B,G tractors. They're basicly the same plow. The blades are 90 inches wide and are cable lift operated off the rockshaft. This is my '48 B with a ABG90. I have a live pump on it which makes it easy to operate.

That tractor in no way will be good for that, you have the small B with about 20 horsepower and it should only have 5:00x15 front tires and they DO NOT have enough carrying capacity for a loader, especially one made for a 60-70 horse power tractor as that loader by itself is too much weight for that small tractor, now if it was a newer B with the pressed steel frame and 28 HP and 16" front tires it would work. Do you have the pressed steel rear wheels or the cast iron wheels? Even with the cast without fluid you would never move any snow with a loader or front blade, not enough traction. I had both a 46 B & 49 B at the same time so I know what they are capable of. And my 46 did have the cast wheels with no fluid and I did have power-trol but I did have about 400# of concrete hanging on each rear wheel
 
Now this is what would work the best for me you said it's an abg90 traction and weight is not an issue I have chains that should work and casting wheel weights but I would prefer the dozer it's all nice and flat here so clearing up a hill or sliding down a ditch in my yard is not bad at all thanks for all the replies know more now what to look for
