Dennis:
I believe that the best way is to pull the snow with your 3 point hitch, and as for the angle that will depend on how wet the snow is, the wet snow you will want more angle. If you deside to push it with your 3 point hitch, you may not get the traction in the heavy wet snow. Bob

: : : : I own a 52 case sc (approx 30+horse power) and just bought
: : : : a 96" blade to scrape my 350' dirt drive way. It is
: : : : reversable and can angle. My question is how much angle
: : : : and should I use it to push or pull the snow? I live in
: : : : Maine, we get lots of the white stuff often wet.
: : : : Also any hints on teknique will be helpful : : : You should definately push the snow. As far as what angle to use , it will depend on how heavy the front end of your tractor is and the kind of snow you get that is , wet and heavy or dry and fluffy. Say, there aren't very many Mainers on these boards, where are you from? John Healey, Litchfield ,Maine : : :::If you have a Case Sc you must have 3 5/8 pistons to have 30 + horse. I have an Sc Case with 3 5/8 bore that has 33 horse on 92 oct. fuel and 28 horse on 87 oct fuel. As far as using a 96 in. blade, I would pull it if it is a 3-point model. The Sc will not have enough power to push wet heavy snow even in first gear.
: : : Lee Forbush, Case collector and puller : I'm a little confused about the snow removal. I don't want to sound totally ignorant, but I guess I am. I'm thinking about buying a rear mounted blade for my tractor (an Oliver 1250) to clear my 200 foot driveway. Are you saying it is best to pull the blade after packing it down by running over it? Or, should I push the snow while driving in reverse?
