I use a Kubota L-275 to maintain my 1/4 mile by 15' wide drive. On back is a Woods RB6 set at about 30 deg angle with the lift arms sucked over to right side with the adjustment turnbuckles about 6" off center. Put 'er in 6th gear, lower the blade so it lightly kisses the chip & seal surface and let it rip. My first pass is going downhill so when I encounter some heavy deposits of drifting, I can blow thru this. The next pass going uphill is a bit dicey as the Kubota wants for weight and traction. Central Ohio has been rather tame snow-wise the past three years. The old times of really opening up the drive are past due. It's been years since I've had to put the chains on for some real man-size snow removal. I also got a loader for it two years ago so I'd be ready for those times when I used to tell my wife "I hope it doesn't snow anymore; I've got no place else to put the snow." Since I got the loader...well...it figures. No afternoon-long adventures--me against mother nature. I rarely back-bladed before I had the loader. I will probably not back blade at all in the future. My brother plows with our 504 and a fast hitch 8' blade. He puts it in 4th and whacks the throttle open. At that speed the snow seems to fly off the angle of the blade--much like a commercial road plow. The 38" rubber on the 504 fascinates me with its ability to get that tractor thru heavy-going without even sneezing. Two sets of rear weights don't hurt anything either.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
