[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 37676, member: 307"] The plow is definitely faster, less trail off to clean up, with the bucket your always going back to pickup what trailed off the sides. Also at the pile you have to dump it so that takes time. Plus a blade offers a trip edge so you can plow at full speed without fear. Chain up the rear if you have traction problems. Remley I run a 10 ft straight blade on the same machine (and my LS160 to) with chains on the rear. Our snows are generally dry and less then 12” per storm. Never had to go back to the bucket yet for lack of power. My yard is large however and I have plenty of room to maneuver. Weights of the V plows vary between 1070 and 1370lb, [URL]http://virnigmfg.com/docs/SBVweb10.pdf[/URL] so your loader will carry any of them so its more a matter of what fits your yard and how deep your snow gets. A 8ft would likely be the recommended size but I feel you could handle more unless your snow is wet or you get large dumps. Can I quote you on these? ken at skidsteer.ca [/QUOTE]
