And the trouble is its gone some real hard dens stuff too, I'm walking on top of the drift in fist picture, it's going to take some shifting.
Ours is the same, yesterday the quad was punching through the powdery stuff no bother but today it’s frozen and noughts going anywhere☹️
Bowen’s Big loading shovel shift it except they are lethal if it’s slippy
we started with the jd tractor but because the track is so narrow you couldn’t tip without backing right out the drift and after a few runs it was like a bobsleigh run and a brown trouser job where the road camber leans to the edge, so resorted to the digger, a slower job but safer. Any tips to stop the ditching bucket wedging solid with snow?

Where to put it all in these narrow lanes is a problem too, snow blower be the boy, but non about here apart from the council, and God knows when they would turn up to do it.


Edit. Beat me to it.^^

Can you turn the bucket around David?
Use her like a face shovel
