Message: <blockquote data-quote="500K_773" data-source="post: 63" data-attributes="member: 33">Snow blowers would be nice for deep, fresh snowfall, but a lot of my customers are business and/or people which may wait a couple of snowfalls before the call for service.  When I go in I remove the new snow and the hardpack.  I currently use a 74" Low Profile bucket with a revesible cutting edge.  I have to keep the bucket at a 60°-70° to "pop" up the hardpack.  The problem I have is that the hardpack then accumulates and begins to push up on the back of the bucket.  I can't get weight to the cutting edge to continue to pop up the hardpack and have to push this to the pile.The state maintenance crews here use a T200 with a 6-way dozer blade to keep the sidewalks clear around town.  Although Bobcat does not endorse the use of the T200 with their snowblade, it does a great job with the dozer blade for snow.  The dozer blade does not have a trip edge like the snow blade, but neither does my bucket.  The dozer blade would be nice because it would roll the snow in front of you or it could be angled to the side.I am having a difficult time deciding whether to get a 90" snow bucket with a revesible cutting edge or a 6-way dozer blade for next winter.  At least I could use the dozer blade all year, can't use the snow bucket year around even here in Alaska <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
