[QUOTE="Land-Tech, post: 11957, member: 1679"] mllud When you tilt with the bucket cyl you have a tendency to take weight off your front wheels with a loss of traction. If I'm pushing a lot of snow and the blade is full I'm usually down on the stops. With both wings on ,you will find that traction and keeping your speed up gets diffiicult carry it to your pile.When I start spinning I will lift my arms a little and put as much weight of the machine on the tires.another way is to use the float if you have one.On my clean up passes I will lift my arms and tilt forward until I feel it cutting, as the blade fills up it will create even more down pressure.This where the plow being further away from the machine works Sometimes slower is better if the conditions are right.I f I am doing a gravel drive ,I don't want too much down pressure or I take to much gravel or catch exposed rocks.If the area to be plowed is an unknown stay down on your stops use the float if you can.If it is a long drive take off one wing so you can get rid of snow and not dog out. Most of my plowing is parking lots with the cars leaving before I get there,and the drives are packed snow so cutting that down before it turns to ice is important. when you let it build up through the season it becmes a mess at break-up. with our small machines we have to use a little finesse and techniqe to get things done Now ,once I've said my 2 cents some one is going to go out there a break something doing it this way and some will say I use my machine in a incorrect or unsafe way. I will apologize ahead of time. This works with this particular plow and the way I have it set up. I've had enough experience with it that I feel I can put these ideas out there in the forum and they have merit. scott [/QUOTE]
