Using a John Deere snow shovel to clear snow and ice from your driveway is a very smart idea. It is much faster than doing it manually. If you’re considering buying a John Deere snow shovel, there are several to choose from.
First of all, before you jump out of your seat and buy the first snow thrower or blade you see online, consider what your needs are. If you have a smaller driveway and are quite young and capable, then there might be no need to splurge out on buying an expensive John Deere snow blade. It is possible that buying something much cheaper like a small hand operated snow blade makes a lot more sense. However, if your driveway is quite large, then definitely consider getting a John Deere snow shovel or even snow blower.
If you have decided to get a snow blade, then before you make any mistakes, make sure that the snow blade you get will fit your tractor or lawn mower. Obviously, if you don’t have a John Deere tractor or mower, check beforehand if the John Deere snow blade will fit your model.
John Deere snow blades currently range in size from 44 inches to 60 inches, but when you’re shopping for one, you may find that you need to buy more than just the snow blade. Attaching a John Deere snow shovel to the front of your tractor or mower will change the weight distribution on it, so in order to counteract this, you need to add weights to the rear of the tractor or onthe tires. Keep this in mind when buying a snow blade.
For those of you who get very heavy snow during the winter you should not consider purchasing a snow blade as it can sometimes be a bit ineffective in very deep snow. Instead, you should consider purchasing a John Deere snow blower. These can handle great depths of snow, but more importantly, they are dispersed, which means you aren’t just piling more and more snow on top of yourself until you are left with snowdrifts that are unable to move..
