Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I have a delema . I have one snow bank that is now 7 foot tall steep sided . The snow caster is having troubles clearing it . It is beside the driveway where the top driveway and the connector to the bottom driveway meet . This spot get snow from both section so it adds up and there is no where else to put it . I don't beleave for a second that the snow is done for this year . So what to do with it ?

Only hit that point once... I had to break through with the 646, and then moved a bunch of it further back in the yard to get through the winter.
Obviously that's all dependent on having the loader, and space... Plus that was NJ, and there was light at the end of that winter as it was March...

How about a big bonfire next to it, and melt it all in to an impassable ice block... Ok, I know that's not helpful...

Woo-Hoo! Sounds like seat time to me! Frankie can knock it down and carry across the road. Take pictures!

The problem there is thats where the flower garden is and there is garden structures buried in there somewhere I don't want to damage . If you know what I mean .

Time for a Berco. I do see Berco's listed inexpensively online without the mule drive. You could fab your own... I've got one if you need pics... Another option I've seen is a hydraulic powered snowcaster on a 600/6000 series loader with the LQA bracket. Might have some pics somewhere... my brother mounted a walk behind snowblower in the bucket of his bobcat once... of course none of this really helps right now. A out 30 years ago I would get up in the snowbank and shovel it back for my dad. Eventually the town came by with a backhoe and moved the banks back.

Near term maybe make a trip to princess auto and get a smaller pulley/belt to put on the snowcaster? People have added rubber flaps to the snowcaster auger to increase throwing distance.

Big propane torch. Chair. Cup of coffee. And go at it.

That’s a lot of snow. It was 10 years ago at this time winter started here and didn’t stop till May. 5 to 7 foot banks. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again.

If you don't have the equipment, you might see if one of the local snowplowing companies has a skid steer and how much $$ they would charge to come and move part of the pile. Of Course marking out where the structures are so they would not damage them.

In my case I have a 646 and my son in-law runs a plowing business with a BIG skid steer, so if I ever hit something the 646 cannot handle, I would be calling the son in-law.

Hopefully you could negotiate a price since this work could be done any time, like when they are not busy with other things, etc.
