I've plowed with a small lawn tractor (a 1989 Craftsman) for years. The key to traction is having the chains, it makes all the difference. Now that I've purchased my S240, I'll be doing the same. There really is no significant damage to the pavement.

Hi Michael ! These little tractors are very practical and usable on a small property all year round. But with more snow they quickly reach their limits, especially with a plow. A snow blower is your best option....but you will absolutely need a cab to protect you from becoming frosty the snowman !! Take care

Awesome new addition! Think you just created a new pop song 🎶…Baby plough….Do do do….Baby plough…Do do do😅😂🤣🥲

Michael I had a used tractor 🚜 with plow blad. I put chains ⛓️ on, yes it marked my concrete drive. But I put on 4 5o# bull bar what's on back, it pushed great 👍 👌

Looks to me it works just fine... and you had fun while saving your back. Now get back out there and take Esme for a ride.

Wondered how the smaller lawn tractors did on snow.

If I pushed snow like our brothers to the north do(we're in northern Missouri) I would look real hard at the cab option. They last as long as the mower and are surprisingly warm. You do a better job and can watch backward (and kidward and parked carward as well as fellow snowplowward. You also get a few extra pounds(or killowgrams) of ballast. Good video. Fun to watch!

does alright for 2wd i can see it spinning out in certain conditions

Im new to this, but I have to ask this. If this is a lawn mower, where are the blades for cutting grass? 🤔
Did you have to remove that when you install the snow attachments?

[tlm]

I wouldnt worry m uch about the chains. There is usually enough snow that the surface is protected. The blade will do more scraping.(or snow shovel). The extra traction and extra weight mite rate another look at the chains.

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing this video! It persuaded me to get the same setup which I have been considering for quite some time! I have a quick question for you if you have a moment. I was wondering if you know the total length of the tractor from the back of the rear wheels to the front of the plow when its attached. I have a garden shed I was planning to park it in, but don't know if it will fit with the plow attached. The shed is 87 inches deep, which will fit the tractor itself, but might be tight with the plow. So there's about an extra 12 inches of space. Do you think it will fit, or should I buy a new storage shed for it? Many thanks!

I wonder if the x300 plow attachment is more robust

Canadians need to use closed captions. Wish they spoke English.(kiddin, of course ehhh?)

[stylesracing]

that seems like its more trouble than its worth.

If you don't want to slip as much you really, you should buy chains
