Read articles →This is a real-time, cab-POV clearing session on an M7060 with an 84-inch bucket, not a spec review or dealer walkaround. The owner narrates technique while plowing his own gravel driveway after a fresh 8-12 inch snowfall: bucket angle to avoid gouging gravel, when to push versus back-drag, building a base pass, and handling soft/muddy ground. Useful for owners wanting practical loader-plowing technique rather than machine specs or buying advice.
An owner-operator on his own property sharing hands-on plowing technique from personal experience, not a dealer or reviewer.
Tilt the bucket so the lip sits one to two inches above the ground instead of level, which pushes snow without hitting high spots or gouging the gravel.
Push when snow is deep, like 8-10 inches, then back-drag the rest. For just a couple inches, back-dragging alone is enough.
The bucket is 84 inches wide, giving extra overhang coverage while plowing the driveway.
No, the owner does not use feet and prefers curling the bucket slightly to scrape without going too low, since the tractor is used for other tasks too.
