Finally, someone who has a decent weight setup and shows that these machines are plenty capable of removing snow like this.

Reminder why so many Canadians are here in Arizona for the winter...

When snow crunches like that it's cold!

Thank you for the video, regarding plowing deep snow, with a garden tractor, I am going to try the same with a 1969 Cub Cadet 129.
I hope it does as well as yours.

Yea man, ,,that old tractor done well!!!

[jasonprashaw]

That's a nice little john deere you have

Its not so much whether it can push snow, but how well. And how it holds up. Snowplowing is hard on a tractor, especially lawn tractors that don't have a real heavy frame or other components.

I pushed snow with a GT for years. Bought a 4wd utility quad and id never go back lol

[jasonblack]

Put a couple of tractor weights on the back, it will help out tremendously.

[scottsmith]

Honestly a good snowblower would be way better

[robhill]

For a smaller driveway, would you recommend the blade or the snow thrower attachment?

[tomdrew]

Would a J.D s120 (2022) handle the job?

[WhyFacetattoos]

I have a driveway that is maybe a 25degree slope how would it work on that

[AUTISTICBLOGGER_steven]

You should get a SMV sign for that especially since you are using it as a tractor to do utility work or anything work Wise etc with a tractor that size because a tractor is a tractor no matter how big it is because under the farm machinery because even a tractor that size is considered farm machinery

[grampadad]

Yeah....why didn't you get on its removal hours before it got that deep w/ snow? my grannie always said a stitch n time, saves time....and effort! lol I've actually removed that much snow using a simple shop broom, where I added an extra foot n half broom parts to ea side of it making for quick removal, but stayed on it throughout the night moving a few inches at a time, little effort and great memorable moments in doing it! I also have built my own plow for my yard tractor, and after pushing heavy driveway gravel easily to test its performance, assures me it should work even betten with snow removal! can't wait for that once n a lifetime hugh snowfall!!

[BlueberryStinkFinger]

Tractor with a strong motor a Tuff torq K46 and heavier you'll get the job done

[kevinsturtevant]

About how much weight do you have on the back? Thanks for the video

[massengineer]

Been there, done that, in Massachusetts. Snow blade is ~12" high. My rule of thumb is the plow can handle snow about 1/3 the height of the plow, so ~4" max. I have a 14 year old LA125, which from the comments may not have as good a transmission as the G110. My driveway is slightly up hill. Even worse is with global warming, the snow is more often heavy and wet instead of light and fluffy. 1" heavy and wet ~= 6" light and fluffy. Alberta might have more light and fluffy than I do. I bought a 2-stage Airens snow blower for the heavy and deep stuff.
