While I have used loader mounted snow pushers capable of moving large volumes of snow, I prefer blowers. That being said, each has it's place when everything is considered.
So with traction being king and tire chains being hard on asphalt and concrete driveways, I needed a unicorn tractor. I found screw in tire studs on amazon for ATV’s and motorcycles. They were extremely cost effective compared to the regular heavy equipment studs. I think I used the 3/4” long ones and screwed them into the tire. They were just as good as chains, on harder packed snow, ice and snow only a few inches deep. It was great until they started coming out. I used super glue the next time and they stayed in great. There was zero damage to concrete but new soft asphalt could get scratches if the tire spun enough. At the end of the first season the top of the stud was rounded over but still worked great! They were still in the tires and working good three years later when I traded in the tractor.
We have an HLA snow wing. It can be used as a pusher or a big angle plow. They make really good products. We also have had a few pushers. They work well, you just have to have a spot to pile the snow when you start losing traction. When the snow is deep you just have to take a smaller bite each pass.
I just bought a 60” work saver for my Massey GC1723. I did not realize how big it is until I picked it up from store (width and height). I used it the other day in 6” of wet snow and I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked even without chains. It works great on gravel and grass, my plow truck makes a big mess early season when ground is not frozen, not so with the pusher. I made a backdrag set up that works great. I wish I bought this 54 as it’s a bit narrower and not as tall, but the 60 does work surprisingly well. I use extra caution as as not to damage cylinders or loader arms. It have about 400lb on the back
We just don't get enough snow to justify the expense of a pusher. I will probably get those runners and put it on my loader bucket on the larger tractor and use the rear blade on our smaller tractor.
I've been using a 6' HLA 1500 series on my 3038E for the last 2 years during the winter and it's awesome. I live in Western NY near Lake Erie and even with the lake effect heavy snow it does the job (twice I wish I had a 3 point snowblower). I also have it equipped with the back drag kit and what a game changer! I can get right up to garage doors and man doors with minimal shoveling involved. It's honestly an investment that doesn't break the bank over the course of time as the only wear items are the steel skid runners and the steel edge on the back drag.
@@billupstateny9151Yes they do! I’ve thought about getting a used one and putting some sort of a a stiff bristle broom in place of the cutting edges. Something that can easily clean up a yard or driveway without damaging. They also do pretty good for pushing sand!
Great video Courtney! I'm not looking forward to snow. If we got boat tons of snow every year, that 2500 series would look nice on my M5660. Thank goodness for "climate change" right?
A snowblower doesn’t make it disappear. When it’s several feet high you can’t blow over that several feet of snow. When you’re plowing really large areas, it’s much faster and efficient to use a snow pusher. So maybe stick to driving OTR and not plowing snow.
What would you recommend for a TYM T494 with cab and filled tires? It’s 64” wide and 4200 lbs not including the weight of the filled tires. Would like to order from you soon

It's been a while, but I'll take the number 1 spot. Happy Tuesday

Love my HLA 1500 on my B2650. Your customer service has been outstanding as well. Thank you.
Absolutely love my 1500 on my Massey 1723. I don’t miss my snow blower at all.

Currently I use a loader mounted hydraulic controlled blade plow on the front and a rear mounted snowblower. It works well for my needs.

Great video Courtney! HLA looks like a quality product.
*Keep on tractoring!*
I think I’m going to need one of these for my ranch

I like my pusher less moving parts and fraction of the cost also very fast for clean up with less fuel consumption
I have plowed snow professionally for 40 years
I like a snow pusher for moving snow add a pull type snow blower you're in business
I respect your opinion on implements, could you do a vid on 1025r size rock buckets and what are they used for?
What size would you recommend for a Kubota M7040 with filled tires set to the widest setting?
Thanks and God bless you guys!
Go with the HLA 2500 96"
Are they good on gravel ? Thank you for your channel. Lots of fun🤓😀
Can you do a video on the HLA with the hydraulic wings ?
Maybe so....very pricey and I don't have a big market for them
@GoodWorksTractors perhaps if more people saw what they can do with one....besides you need a new toy
I have a Massey Ferguson 1433 v what snow pucher would you recommend
What model would you recommend for a Massey Ferguson 1526
A snowblower makes the snow almost disappear while a snow pusher piles it up and takes longer to melt in the spring
True. But the wet gooey snow dosent blow well.
Agree, except the neighborhood kids love the snow mountain that is created each season 😁

Facts. I’ll keep my HLA though.
@phild9813 I'm not saying they don't have a place but I don't want snow piles in July lol

What would u recommend for a kioti ck2610hst
What size do you recommend for a B2601? R14 Tires without chains
What about the 3500s?
Similar to the 2500, but bigger and taller yet
How much for a 54” for a kubota bx23s
I have a
