The owner narrates actual challenges as they happen, losing traction on an icy hill, running out of snow-dump space, scraping rocks, and needing to warm up mid-job. He briefly explains bucket float mode and top-link adjustment for the blade. Best for B2601 owners curious how a rear blade handles heavy residential snowfall.
Posted by the Iowa Hobby Farm channel, an owner-operator sharing unscripted, hands-on impressions from their own rural property.
In float mode the bucket follows the contour of the land, which helps keep the tractor safe on hillsides where you can't see where the ground drops off.
Positioning the top link so the blade doesn't dig in just rolls snow or dirt off to the side; letting out the top link creates a cupping angle for digging into gravel.
The tractor struggled with traction on icy, slick ground and spun a lot; the owner said with much more snow he'd need added rear weight and a bucket load up front.
