Useful for existing B-series owners planning winter attachments.
Posted by the RealHouseDIY channel, an owner sharing hands-on snow-clearing technique from personal long-term use of the tractor.
Push the bucket lever down until it clicks into float position so the bucket just floats on top of the driveway instead of digging in.
The bucket can pick up and pile snow elsewhere, pull snow backward near garage doors, and avoids the hassle of changing implements and setting up plow hydraulics.
About a half hour to clear both the 100-foot driveway and 100-foot sidewalk using the front end loader bucket.
He prefers a small cement ballast weight on the back over weighted tires, saying it gives better maneuverability, especially around the garage.
