Paul, Great pictures!! Looks like it really gets the job done. But, I think it was your pic, pulling the 2 bottom plow has to be the best!

I don't see any wheel wts Paul, do you run fluid in the tires? I can see that rear blade gives you wt for pushing, but how about if you use the rear blade???

Nope, no weights, no chains. The rear blade gives me some weight and it sits a good 3' behind the tractor which gives leverage to the weight. (It also likes to scrape things like garage door trim when I'm not paying close attention:() Also, the steel cab weighs a good 250# which also adds to the weight. With the ag tires, i rarely spin. It surprises me too. The biggest weight problem, if any, is up front when side-plowing heavy snow and turning against the bank. That's where the individual brakes come in very handy.:D

Terry, The broom is a 48" MB Broom made for a walk behind. I adapted it to the front of the tractor and ran a belt to the front PTO. Works really nice. Next I have to add a cylinder to raise/lower the broom cuz it's a pain getting off and turning the crank.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
