Hi Elliot👋We love seeing you push all that snow like it's nothing! We offer just the back drag without the cover to allow the snow to roll rather than collect in the box. A member of our marketing has sent you an email, we look forward to hearing back from you! 🚜Happy Homesteading!

Just want to give you some encouragement. We fled WNY a couple years and moved just south of Jamestown. Still lots of snow here and we use a New Holland skid steer with an HLA pusher and it works fine. Totally different set up but somehow got interested in your video and enjoyed your great photography and technique. Thank you for making this video for all of us.

I have a Work Saver brand pusher that has the exact back drag bar you're describing. Depending on how much snow and type of snow you will still need to make more than one pass when back dragging. One huge advantage with the bar back drag is once you curl the pusher into the back drag position you can see through and park the bar right next to building edges. Super handy.

Good video as you highlight the importance of having your snow pusher box enclosed. I bought a new 2018 Kubota BX2380 with a Land Pride Snow Pusher SPL0560 (or snow box as I like to call it). I chose to have the option that covers the top of the pusher so that I could back drag. I did my research before deciding on getting a snow pusher and determined that the box needed that extra option. This snow box is unbelievably useful with the option that encloses the top of the box. I clean about ten 6-8 car driveways regularly during the winter. The ability to drive right up to the garage door and back drag the snow is easy and it does an outstanding clean job. I push and back drag with the snow box depending on the driveway. As you said, the snow box is the ultimate snow fighting implement. I have been using mine since 2018 and I have plenty experience using it. I highly recommend the snow pusher to anyone who doesn’t have one. Your tractor is much bigger than mine and I can imagine if your box was covered, wow, the cleaning job of your property would be a breeze. I only mention the follow-on info for those who may have a sub-compact tractor like mine. I also have the Kubota K51-20-06 with hydraulic controlled snow chute and hydraulic traverse. I should mention that my loader has the skid steer two detach / attach system which I highly recommend people get. The ability to change between implements (in my case change between the bucket and snow box) in minutes is outstanding. I am planning to get the Land Pride hydraulic angled controlled blade STB 0554 which I should have bought back in 2018. Regrettably, I didn’t have the 3rd function hydraulic remote installed on the tractor. I have a neighbour who is a mechanic and I’m hoping I can convince him to help me install the 3rd function remote. I have having the ability to switch between the snow pusher / box and snow blower as needed. It makes cleaning big driveways (and my street) easy. Lol Back to the snow box, some snow boxes may be better than than others in their design. At the time, back in 2018, the Land Pride snow box was the best option and if I remember correctly, the only readily available option for my tractor. I don’t regret getting it. My only concern, and it’s a small one, is I would have liked the leading edge on the top cover, when the snow box is flipped over to back drag, to be some sort of adjustable wear bar. The leading edge is very thick steel so it has been wearing very slowly over the past 5 years of use. I back drag a lot!! It is good for a few more years before it becomes a real issue and having the ability to bolt on a wear bar would be a very good upgrade to the design of this box. I’ll eventually drill some holds and attached a heavy duty polymer wear bar. I know there are many more snow pusher / boxes out there to choose from. You really can’t go wrong with any of them. Some are better designed than others so a little research will narrow down your choices to the better designed ones. I am being very picky when I say that. Lol. You simply cannot go wrong with buying a snow pusher / box for you tractor no matter the size of your tractor.

Homestead Implements makes GREAT products, I have their Pinnacle Root grapple for over 3 years. Can't live without it. I have long driveway and many parking areas, so I use a 86'' Snow blade for my TYM tractor.

You should have bought an HLA pusher. It comes complete with a backdrag (could be steel or UHMW). The cutting edge and skids can also be UHMW if asphalt or concrete needs to be protected. And there's no diagonal bars needed for strength because the backblade is curved and super strong. The metal is very thick. I just got one for my brother-in-law and it's terrific.

Great video! I really like how you divided it up into sections with descriptions. I was on the fence about the back drag option, but now i'm definitely going to get it. Thanks for the video!

I've found that snow pushers are quite limited in heavy snow areas. Once it's full, it just pushes the snow out the sides just like a bucket and you have to push it off every 50' or so. A snow plow or blower works much better on long driveway runs. Much neater job of it, too. I built a homemade back drag system for my pusher but I only use the pusher around my garages, sidewalks, and parking areas. Great for back dragging away from the garage doors. I use my snow plow for my 600' driveway. It's a quick swap out. 👍👍

I've found smaller tractors have hard time pushing lots of snow. Went to a blower, slower but takes care of moving the snow without running out of traction or power

When arriving at the snowbank, raising the plow at least an inch just before arriving at the snowbank will avoid banging into the frozen bottom of the snowbank, lessening the danger of breaking something.

A back blade is the perfect solution. I have a Kubota L3301 with a back blade on the rear and a snow pusher on the front. It's the perfect combo for moving snow!

Hey Elliott, invest in a back blade for your tractor from your local Kubota dealer, you'll love the results as much as you enjoy your snowpusher.

Nice work, I also have a tractor CK4010 HST w/ a pusher, I have some traction issues, bought front and rear chains, the fronts are nice, the rears are great if you want to knock out your fillings and loosen up some kidney stones, but they do work well. I was thinking about making a double front push plate that goes between the fel quick connect and the pusher box with 6" vertical travel, that way I can drop the pusher then lift up ever so slightly locking the fel so it isnt floating, that keeps the fel weight on the tires for more traction, the pusher then can move up and down 6" to travel with the grade, plus not wear out the side ski's as fast.

You should of checked out HLA snow pusher’s I have one with the back drag and it’s perfect 👍 good works tractor has a video on them

Not sure if anyone has said it, but they do offer the backdrag blade separately from the cover. Even with the cover and all options, they're still like $1000 less than HLA. Built like a tank too.

Should have went with a Landpride pusher ! I luv mine & built in back drag edge !

I want to like these snow pushers for compact tractors but there is just not enough mass with them. I have a Mahindra 1626. Strong machine, does well with stacking and lifting. However, a few times I’ve used it to “push snow” with just the bucket and once the bucket fills it starts losing steerage, a pusher exacerbates that (you can see it even with your bigger machine). Like I said, I WANT to like a snow pusher for compact tractors, but I don’t see them as a viable option with the lighter weight machines.

I'm thinking of a snowpusher for my B26o1. Probably a 5ft. I don't need to back drag. I can get perpendicular to all my buildings and obstacles - then shovel what's left. I live in a very rocky area. Some of the rocks stick above ground - just a little. I can mow over them. All the snowpusher videos I see are on driveways. How will one work on uneven terraine?

The problem with an open back blade is driveways will spill over between opening.

You’re in western NY state without a snow blower for that nice tractor ? I would try that man. Problem solved.

At around 7:00 minutes are you stopping there on purpose or is the tractor losing power?

Would you get a pusher again? Any reason you’d get a power angle plow?

It’s a snow pusher, if you want to back drag put a blade on the 3pt hitch.

What tractor are you using?

Should’ve bought express steel pullback snow pusher

Subbed

Why don't you just push the snow side ways in front of the garage ?

Use your box blade if you have one

HLA snow pushers. Check them out

You need chains on the road tires

You need a bigger tractor and weights!
