All you guys with your pics of pushing snow made me jealous, so here are some from the snowy North.

Some of you have asked what I mean by "snow wings", here you can see how they work.

Where I am at right here, it is "pool table" flat for the most part. That is why the kids harass me for a snow hill every Winter. Like I really need an excuse to push snow, but that is what I tell people.

Heh Lavoy, glad to see you finally got the snow we've been sending your way! Ours is starting to go now, some of the frost is going out of the ground and I'm starting to make a little mud arround my millyard with the 350. I might have to wait for it to dry out a bit. We don't have to make our hills around here, but that really does look like a good project!

Hi,
Well, now I'll have to take a few pix of my 420. I've not done it because she's not all prettied up. However, she looks a lot like Lavoy's (white stripe and all) so I guess it really doesn't matter. Except, I don't have snow wings and a winch on mine.

Where did you get those wings? I was actually thinking of fabricating some because it got old fast chasing snow around with a 6' blade with a machine that will push 8' of snow!
My dad likes snow piles too, he has a tractor with a truck plow rigged to the loader and stacks up everything from the yard in front of his shop. I can drive the crawler right up the side of it to push more snow up. Here's a picture from a few years ago...
I aim to get some pics of me getting vertical on the thing soon!

I had the plate sheard in town, then cut and drilled it myself to fit the blade, and made the brace plates on the back side of the wings. There is just no comparison with a standard blade as far as what they will push.
