I have a JD 1050 w/loader for which I had pallet forks made that slip over front edge of the bucket(in front of the lift arms). I modified a pallet with "custom" blocks that I can lower my boom onto and the auger will fold up under(by bending at the ujoint next to the 90 degree gearbox). This keeps all of it out of the dirt. The whole thing goes onto a shelf about 5 feet up that I built along one end in the bldg where I keep equipment. I keep the post hole auger, 2 3 pt sprayers, and a Vicon spreader in the shelf. Sure saves floor space!

I use a JD 1050 with a rear blade backwards and angled on the generally light snows here in VA. I have an LT Rhino 7 footer that isn't too heavy and haven't done asphalt damage yet. The loader works fine in the heaver snows but I've found that the back blade is faster and with practice, backwards aint too bad. Keep in mind I'm not doing this comercially but I do a couple of neighbors' drives and one of then is a steep asphalt one.

Concur with Dave and David re hydraulic feed. Safer and lets you move brush while chipping. I have a Vermeer 6 in PTO chipper standard with hydraulic feed I run with a JD 1050. Had to build an adapter to lower lift pins so I could raise it high enough to get up a trailer ramp. The weight is all the 1050 wants but it does it. 4

Have had a light weight rhino for about 20 years for drive maintenance and snow. Have used forbackfilling foundations and other odds and ends. Used first with a D-17 AC and since 83 on a JD 1050. Has done everything I wanted except autolevel. If you are going to do snow, you might want a as tall a blade as you can get.
