East Central Saskatchewan | Since you didn't mention a budget, I will reccomend you a Cat 160M grader with front v-blade and hydraulic wing, lol.
Anyways, this may be one case where I would go with a FWA tractor with a front blade. This way you can do your first two swipes to clean the road, and then drive on the side of the ditch if it's not too steep to get the snow deep into the ditch to avoid ridges. Also, if it a very wide flat ditch you could push swipes in the ditch to make ridges so when it blows the snow will get trapped in those ridges, not close to the road or on top of it. You could do it with a skid steer, but I find doing roads when its snowed heavy it just takes to long and I have trouble spinning out and being low on power. But for cleaning up around the yard and in pens and around buildings and such, it's the skid steer hands down no consideration of a tractor in any way. |
if you were a rural homeowner..not a farmer
