Snow Plowing Driveway After Nor’Easter With Side By Side UTV

Are you looking for tips and tricks for plowing deep snow along the East Coast? Look no further! In early March, we finally got hit with a good winter storm after a mild winter with very little snow on the ground. We got about 28cm of good East Coast snow with snow drifts after a windy evening, which meant it was time to put my side by side and new snow plow kit to the test.

Using my Can-Am Defender with a 66 inch promount snow plow kit, I had the machine on 4-low with the differential lock on, and after shoveling the front decks, it was time to clear out the rest of the driveway. But plowing deep snow can be a challenge, especially along the East Coast where we tend to get heavy, wet snow that can be difficult to move.

Here are some tips and tricks for plowing deep snow along the East Coast:

Take it slow and steady - When plowing deep snow, it's important to take it slow and steady. Don't try to rush through it, as this can cause the snow to pile up in front of your plow and make it difficult to move. Instead, take your time and make sure you're pushing the snow to the side in a controlled manner.

Adjust the height of your plow blade - Depending on the depth of the snow, you may need to adjust the height of your plow blade. If the snow is really deep, you may need to raise the blade to prevent it from getting stuck or catching on the ground. If the snow is more shallow, you may need to lower the blade to ensure that you're clearing as much snow as possible.

Use your machine's differential lock - If your machine has a differential lock, be sure to engage it when plowing deep snow. This will help to ensure that both wheels are moving at the same speed, which can improve traction and help you to move through the snow more easily.

Don't forget about your surroundings - When plowing deep snow, it's important to be mindful of your surroundings. Make sure you're not plowing snow onto sidewalks, driveways, or roads. You should also be aware of any obstacles or hazards in your path, such as curbs or rocks.

Overall, plowing deep snow along the East Coast can be a challenge, but with the right techniques and equipment, it can be done effectively and efficiently. So next time you're faced with a big snowstorm, remember these tips and tricks to help you tackle the snow and keep your driveway and property clear.
