OK, who else is ready?

[NH-Rob]

Thomas, looks like mostly rain for us in the Lakes Region.

This is my new to me setup. We bought a new place and (Merry Christmas to me) the previous owner's L3430 and L2174A blower to take care of the 500' feet of asphalt and 1000' feet of gravel drives.

I love the garage you have with the wood on the walls. Oh and nice tractor too!

I know, I know, it is a little fancy for me too but I'll have to suffer through with the lack of a dirt floor and cold! Frankly he did a great job with the building, I just wish it were bigger (it is 24X30)- I would have traded the size for creature comforts any day.

Oh well, looks like a big pole barn is in my future.

We'll we are in the middle of a Blizzard up here, both tractors are ready to go, but I am going to take my time and try and do this one with the shuttle shift. I really like the hydro for close in bucket work but I'll suffer with the cab for this job.

Best of luck with your storm! I think everyone likes a white Christmas but a whiteout Christmas not so much.

Be safe out there

Yes, a heated cab trumps an open platform every time for snow removal!

The pain of the shuttle will not be that bad!!

Would you have more pics of that tractor??

 

[Hematite]

Yes, the SSS trans for use with a snowblower is just as easy as the HST, you're just going straight up and down the driveway.

I'll also second the request for more pics of the Farmall.

 

[Runner]

Well, good thing I was ready because we got the 10 inches (drifts) of snow the weather guys predicted....

 

[Thumper & Buttercup]

Here is a front shot of her. I'll have her out tomorrow or Sunday as soon as we get a break in the weather. If there is another shot you guys would like let me know. So far the drifts in the yard are between my knee and hip here and it's still coming down and blowing. I'm hoping to make a dent it it tomorrow afternoon and then do a final clean up Sunday or Monday.

T&B, That is a beauty. A few shots of that bad boy in action tomorrow would be cool!

I agree totally!! And an interior shot too please.

 

[Thumper & Buttercup]

Here are some Action Shots,

I'm going back out now, I'll shoot the interior before I take off. This will keep you busy for now. I put the tractor in low range and 1st gear, it never even bogged down, my wife who was taking the photos said she could hear the turbo spool up a couple of the times but the engine never bogged even with the drifts higher than the blower.

 

[WilliamBos]

Thanks. Looks like you are wearing a little more than a T-shirt & shorts in there??

Hey Will,

That was a warm up, then parked her by the house and let her warm up a little more, then put on regular jeans and shoes, just came in, I'll have a little more to do tomorrow.

Here is the shots of the interior you wanted.

Sorry for the pictures today I just checked and the auto focus was turned off on my camera.

 

[VitaBene]

Nice shots- I just figured the AF was hitting snow. We are getting rain here right now from your storm.

Thanks to you and your wife for taking the pics. I am jealous, what was your total?

 

[Thomas]

Thumper.
Thats having way to much fun...drooling here.

 

[firefighter jim]

It's just me but I would keep my NH in the garage and tarp the others...it is much more expensive and I worry about mice chewing wires and that can run into thousands...nothing like trying to track down an electircal problem or worse. Nice equipment..looks like you are ready..let it snow.

That's funny. I was thinking the same thing!

 

[scoutcub]

Thump & Butter -

That is one good looking machine. Must've been warm & cozy in that nice cab!
