Ready to rock 'n roll!
I bought this snowblower last June as a demo model. When I went to Oslo area to pick it up I saw it was brand new. Not to bad... After some minor adjustment it fits the front hook-up.
There is no electric chute adjustment on the snowblower but if I will miss this it won't be to difficult to add it i guess.

Regards!
Edward

Flyfish That's a rugged looking snow blower. Must have been sitting in the showroom. I'd say your ready!

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Here's the fleet for this winters festivities. The Simplicity with the Subaru/Robin, and the Ford with the p/a plow and the Meteor blower have served me very well but this year I'm moving uptown with the Steiner........I'm lending the Simplicity to a friend for the winter and I will use the Ford no doubt but plan to handle the vast majority of this years snowfall comfortably out of the elements.

After a week of very cold temps and rain on my off days, today it is rain in the 60's and weather forecast for thanksgiving 6 to 10 inches of snow!!! Guess I will have to brave the rain and wind today and get the snowblower on the tractor. Tractor Tom nice setup, similar to mine but on green. Plow is at the welders getting a quick connect attached.

This is my just completed snow rig; 78" Meyer I got for $50 on eB*y 5 years ago and finally got around to media blasting, painting and using some ideas from TBN to mount in the bucket; finished it yesterday; first 8" wet snow today; worked well; if I'm happy with it, I'll add power angle pistons and a remote next year.

Pumpin' Slush

Good news is there was a chance to try the blower early in the season. Bad news is the 6" to 12" of snow that was being bandied about turned out to be about 3" or so of slush. It worked pretty well to shove the blower into the slush really fast. The chute wanted to grow closed using a slower approach.

Because of that there was some spillage of slush on the clean side of the blower. So it worked to blow fast in reverse, then scoop up the spilled slush with the loader while travelling to the other end of the lot and sweeping it into the unplowed part. The chute did need to be unclogged one time while doing two parking lots.

A bud sent me a one minute video he shot with his cell phone:

I'm going old school this year, 1953 40S that I picked up 2-1/2 weeks ago w/Ford blade I got a week later:

Had to build a mounting bracket for the blade & set up a cable lift from the 3-pt:

Nice work!

Snow edge did a purty good job, first time using it... Seems like it pushed the heavy wet stuff a lot easier than just the bucket

ive installed rear powerpack and hoses to the front of my tractor, but im holding off on chains right now. its been a dry winter so far.

I have a similar setup. I like the angle iron across the edge of the bucket. Anxious to hear how it works for you.

Re: Pumpin' Slush

Just finished my plow set up - pick of a brand new (2003 vintage) Curtis 72 inch manual blade off of Craigslist (sat in a barn and was never used) - purchased new hydraulic cylinders and cross over relief valve.

I was concern the 72 inch was too big for the B2920 but I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Initially I was concern about the weight but with the Box Blade the entire set up seems to be very stable (Curtis weighs the blade in at 485 lbs). At a 30 degree angle it provides a nice clearance on each side on the small B. Overall I am ecstatic on the set up - no more looking backwards with a rear blade. Now let it snow!

Nice, Jam, do you put chains on in the winter?

I have never needed it before - even when we got hit 2 years ago with 44 inches in one fall - I am however concern that pushing a 6 foot blade forward is going to be a lot tougher than reverse with a 5 foot.

From what I have read as long as I elevate the front blade just enough to have most of the weight on the front wheels I should be fine. Going to do the trial and error thing first - especially after I priced chains - Yikes!

problem with my experience plowing from front, when you angle the blade, it pushes the tractor in opposite direction. i had to use chains.
