Land & Lifestyle Snow Removal
overloading your tractor.
Before snow arrives, mark hidden hazards such as landscaping, curbs or utility features so they’ re easy to avoid. When clearing, work outward from buildings or garage doors to avoid boxing yourself in and ensure a clear exit path.
Maintain Your Equipment
Check your machine before each job. Belts, shear pins, fluid levels and tire pressure should all be in working order. After use, remove snow and ice from the auger and impeller to prevent freeze-up. Wash off any salt or grime to reduce corrosion and keep your equipment running strong all winter long.
Whether you’ re managing a long gravel drive or a tight corner near the barn, these compact tractor snow blowing tips can help keep your winter cleanups smooth and safe.
