I used it do snow removal at Newark Airport in NJ. I ran an old Michgan with a 30 foot blade., then later years they switched to Komatsus. The Komatsus were a nice change to the older equipment.

Great job with the video. Nice pace and variety.... Two techniques I use as a V Plow operator to keep spilling off the leading edge. "THE SLICE" - Before snow starts to spill off the leading edge onto an already plowed area, veer off your line like a bad golfer would slice a drive. There is no rule you have to plow in a straight line all the way to the final destination. Secondly, "THE DAM". Start your first plow line a blade's width away from the already cleared area. This allows a space for the snow on the edge of your cleared area to go without spilling off the leading edge. Play around with it, combine techniques, there are no rules other than avoid shoveling twice. 😁

.... There’s always that one vehicle that has to park right in the middle of the lot, lol... Great job plowing!!.. You didn’t damage anything that won’t be noticed until spring 😬... Your life is too easy with all that awesome equipment haha... I love those Kabota’s.. they are fantastic in just about every way... The place I work, we have three of them, and one I believe is the exact same as the one you’re operating here... they’re brand new, and we just got in a pusher box, I believe is 10ft, and it works so good on the Kabota that everyone is trying to put a claim on it, haha... I would highly recommend looking into getting one if I were you... it would work perfect for what you’re doing, and could handle much more, but it’s not overkill either.. I think the most impressive thing in this video is that the electric rolling gate actually works in the winter with all the snow haha... We have to deal with one and it constantly has problems every winter when the snow hits... Clearing the path for the gate to operate doesn’t help... Must be bad connection, or motor??... I don’t know... I’m the plow guy👍🥶😬🇺🇸☃️

Do you think a Kubota M4 with a gear drive would be better? Just curious I ordered an L6060 with the front blower and blade. I had a hard time deciding because I really wanted the gear drive for traveling between jobs. Everyone seems to love these l6060.
