Snow in front bucket

JF in MI · Nov 16, 2016

Post below got me thinking. When moving snow with a loader bucket, any of you folks have a way to keep the snow from sticking in the bucket?

Keep the inside of your bucket clean , smooth, and painted.

I use a coat of diesel from a spray bottle. Snow slides right out.

Don't let the eco-nazis hear about that. You're contaminating the snow which will melt and pollute the ground. :lol:

Clean bucket, let dry & you ever hear of mop & glow??

Anybody tried Pam? It works for a lot of other things. Mine has some deer blood in it now, wonder if that will help.

I keep my snow bucket clean, painted, and spray it with silicone.

Silicone spray works quite well. I think the county boys use PAM on the big vee plows.

I have used Pam and keep bucket clean. Also a cold bucket works better than one that comes out of a heated building.

....move to Florida and leave the bucket and tractor in the barn......

Been there. Too crowded for me.

Usually not a problem except for that occasional wet heavy snow. That snow is hard to handle no matter what method, bucket, blade or blower.

Never put anything on for snow. Never had an issue?

Never been an issue for decades...just quickly cycle the bucket rams to shake it out. Never cleaned a bucket, or coated it with anything. Sometimes need to backdrag it a bit to knock it out if it didn"t clear when previously parked.

pam works wonders if its clean dry film lubricant if its warm enough yet to paint

Is it a trip bucket or hydraulic? Back my trip bucket days it was hard to get that stuck on snow dislodged because I couldn't shake or jar the bucket. Something slippery sprayed in the bucket would be wasting precious money so it wasn't even thought of. If too much stayed in the bucket I got out the shovel to clean it off. That wasn't all bad because I usually needed to get off the seat to exercise and warm up the cold body anyway.

NO thanks - too humid and too many snakes in Florida. Besides, plowing snow is a favorite pastime of mine (it's snowing right now but won't be enough to plow, DANG IT!) 8)
