Large excavator is onsite, (dozer tractor is dead)... Any tips or ideas on using my excavator to clear snow so trucks have access? Currently its Blowing and drifting... (1 foot of snow, drifts to 4-5 feet), need truck access to haul out grain out of bins. No good way to get my other dozer moved, as lowboy is snowed in at another location, and no tractor there.
Do I take a trk in, then pull it out with the excavator multiple times to get into where I need to be?
Do I dig the snow out ahead of time and pile it, like you would dirt?
Do I try and just use the swing and brush the snow to the sides?
Grab something with the thumb to be wider then my bucket, and pull the snow off to the side?
Have patience and try to wait till the weather turns better? (Current forecast, doesn’t look like its gonna change for the better for a while)
Anyone have ideas?
