    It worked out great, it's always nice when you can angle the blade instead of pushing the whole pile when you have the bucket on.

    Great shots of the finished product thewoodlands I got through with the rear blade and bucket this morning before work. Not sure if you guys got the rain but it made it real heavy and slow going. I didn't even try the walk behind blower. Figured it would jam up pretty quick. Very glad the blade is earning its keep for you guys:)

    No rain up here and the snow wasn't the heaviest we had this year. Because the third function kit was taking so long to come in for our tractor I almost changed to the rear blade but since the winter was pretty much lacking of snow, we waited and I'm glad we did.

    I need to move some snow before we get more or the big melt starts.

    If you really want to do it right images.jpg

    Around $80 here. The bonus or price off-set rather, is that you can use (cheaper) lumber or even pine post's out of your woods because its above grade and they will absolutely last for ever.
    For a simple wood shed, you wouldn't need that big base. I've seen that type at Lowes, iirc around $50.

    A rear blade works ok but your setup is head and shoulders above:)

    How in the hell did I "mot":headbang: see that I quoted both of you.:zip:

    We received another three or four inches of snow overnight, I just came in from doing the neighbor's driveway, pushing snow around, roof raking and doing some shoveling to and around the grill. I'll be heading back out to take the plow off and put the bucket on so I can move some snow.

    The sun is strong today and it feels great.

    Just some pictures of the 4540 plowing out some snow in different areas. I did go back out but I left the plow on instead of putting the bucket on.

    Tomorrow I'll dig out the trailer we use behind the rhino when we bring in wood and then clean the snow out of that area.

    It sure smells good in here, when I came in I could smell the chili and the chocolate chip cookies. I'm still bouncing around between 206 & 208 so a few cookies can't hurt....can it Gasifier ?
