Hwy 2 just before iron goat trail headWheres this at?
I drive over that berm in my jeep all the time. Quit being a pussy, sack up and drive over it.Hwy 2 just before iron goat trail head
Free pints?!?!I drive over that berm in my jeep all the time. Quit being a pussy, sack up and drive over it.
Take video.
What truck is it?I want to pull up friday night, blat thru plie so I can park my truck. Not too much fucking around.
Full send. Call me I'll come yank you out.Free pints?!?!
*if you tow me out?
We are talking long wheel base F450 RV here. 15k lbs
For an every weekend (or every other weekend) thing getting stuck pisses ladies off...and shoveling gets old.Full send. Call me I'll come yank you out.
Funny story I got my dually stuck up there past skykomish on the 6066 road when we were sledding and shooting guns.
Truck made it up there fine but the sun came out and changed the snow. I chained up all 4 corners and chugged out of there. Got stuck in the berm you are talking about and the truck started sliding off the road.
A couple guys with a first gen pathfinder yanked me out after a shit load of digging. It was a long shitty day up there.
For real, what about one of those plastic sheds to cover it next to the fence, and a walk behind snow thrower?
F450 based rv.... Not wanting to add plow if I can help it. When that bitch gets stuck it sucksWhat truck is it?
4x4?
Engage 4x4 and just drive in?
Or
Get a plow for it and mount it a day or night before snowfall & plow your way in?
That's why I was saying a used walk behind gas powered snow blower. Get a small shed to store it in next to the fence/gate and plow away when you get home.For an every weekend (or every other weekend) thing getting stuck pisses ladies off...and shoveling gets old.
I. Haven't seen shed things, but I'm more worried about snow plow Bern rather than snow fall
I love that. I need oneDepends on how much you want to spend. A v plow on a old truck and park it by the drive. Park trailer and walk in to plow truck, plow out drive and clean up street. If you can just pushing straight across the street and into the opposite ditch is easiest. Grab truck/trailer and drive up driveway. I will say that wet snow is a bitch to plow even with a won ton and 3k of salt in the back it will push you around. Once it gets a few freeze thaw cycles its a real bear.
If you want quick and easy...
Blower may be the answer..... I just don't know. Shed on property, just not sure how big. But that's an easy fix.That's why I was saying a used walk behind gas powered snow blower. Get a small shed to store it in next to the fence/gate and plow away when you get home.
Or find an old used truck with a plow.
Thank you.Frozen berms you need weight and loader. Plows are good for pushing snow into piles but not so much on frozen berms. I plow about 1/3 of a mile driveway with a SxS and plow, I have to really keep up. Much more than 18" and it's a struggle. Forget moving frozen berms with it.
An old tractor with chains and a loader would probably work.
You gonna come do mine?This works purdy good.

Shitty too much tire. Plowing you want skinny tires. Big floats suck.I always wondered how a rig like that would do plowing the mountain roads up here. Obviously it would need chains. Seems to have enough weight...
Really? I figured they won't give a fuck. Running wing blade and all just throws it sideways. Not gonna stop for a driveway. It's a highway.... Not little county roadKeep it simple. Talk to the plow driver and chances are that he will push it back for you. I plowed for the state for years and if the land owners were friendly and cool I’d help them out. All he would have to do is straight blade it passed your drive then angle it again.
Finding someone else to deal with it may be the cheapest option....I’ve done quite a lot of what your description needs over the years.
I’ve used almost everything mentioned but lasers, and bribery.
A plow truck has its limits. It can bust through a bank, but ya gotta take little bites on angles that break off parts at a time. Looks to tight where your at for that. But, if you can get over it, and work it from the highway you can try that technique.
But you said easy, least effort.
The loader, tractor idea is good. They need chains to push anything really. Get sketchy sliding down hills. Don’t plow so well, but a rear blade can do that.
I’ve used one of these to build a private snowboard park. Worked ok for flatter areas without snow tracks. With snow tracks it would be unstoppable. Not cheap. Always started in cold, but was a fresh machine.
Makes me think a cheap skid steer with chains might just do ya. You don’t have a lot to move by the looks of it. A plow blade to change out after bucket needs would speed things up 3x.
Everything is a bitch in the cold.
Everything after minus -20 Canada’s might need a fresh warm battery brought to it, and maybe more. Either, Salamanders, etc. But, if stuff is kept in decent repair always try starting first. I’ve been surprised more then not that shit starts super cold. Just always have the stuff if needed.
Finding a local with equipment that’s trustworthy looks real appealing. If there is any. Over pay them by double, or triple and ask for confirmation pics before you leave if their woods-drunk most of the time types.
5-10 k in equipment costs could get you years of hands off and zero effort on this problem, but if you want the toys I get that too.
The equipment to do it the way you want is not cheap. If it’s cheap, it’s not easy. But, if your handy like most on here just build it.Finding someone else to deal with it may be the cheapest option....
Highway is too busy to he plowing perpendicular to it off the road i think. Which makes me think loader type. Bobcat would be sweet but big $$
They're duals, so easy to pull the out side tires and double you're ground pressure. Those tractors usually have a lot of power and can hand tons and tons of added wieght.Shitty too much tire. Plowing you want skinny tires. Big floats suck.
Careful there, that's only 200 Megawatts away from traveling back to 1955.
Those are 10k machines now because inflation. I'm still watching the market. They used to be everywhere 3k-6k now they've all doubled or more in price.I bought two, one diesel one gas. Paid about 5k each.
How do you like that setup? Any issues with how far out in front the blade is? I have a smaller kubota, a 7' plow and a quick attach plate. Plan on cobbling together something similar.
That's my setup. But I'd think a heft lawn tractor with weights, chains, and a half way decent snowblower should do the trick.
edit: wet snow- that may suck, but you just have to take it easy
