Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[Creamer]

They were well before my time Creamer, I suspect they didn't worry about a slushy snow and I'm under the impression that they were a "northern" cold climate item where we get very little natural shush (that's not from salt). :confused3:

I could see them packing colder snow down so it would be good for sleighs and a shod horse would not slip on it.

Here痴 my new snow weapon, 66 farm king 3ph blower, also installed a back up camera.

For those who have never seen a snow roller.

I can remember our neighbour back home in Manitoba doing this. He just packed the snow all winter and drove over it. It was a bit dicey in spring when the melt came but he managed. It wasn't uncommon for there to be over two feet of packed snow by spring.

 

[PILOON]

Those snow rollers were also common in rural Quebec. Come spring they'd stock up on food stuff to suffer the approximate 2 week 'no travel period'.
With horse drawn vehicles it was a lesser problem but come the age of autos it was.
Then came Armand Bombardier and his famous snomobiles that changed winter travel forever, (and currently aviation due to the offshoots).

In my younger days I actually met that gent.
He had a posh executive office but the shag carper was totally black from grease tracks from the door to his desk.
His exec chair just as black from his always soiled coveralls.
Very impressive gent and a very 'down to earth guy'.

That痴 the factory snow sport mount which they want over $400 for the angle version.

This is what I have to work with View attachment 531653View attachment 531654 just the blade.

That痴 kinda the design I was thinking of and have a buddy (journeyman iron worker) build it. That poorly drawn pic will be off the horizontal bar of the push mount. Amazon.com: CURT 4912 Raw Steel Receiver Tubing: Automotive

As far as how to attach it to the FEL, I was gonna use my pallet fork back plate, I also want to add a bale spear to the back plate at the same time. View attachment 531651

Think it痴 doable? Combination plow/bale spear/ pallet forks, I would only have to store the forks or plow/ receiver mount in the off seasons.

Was also gonna have him weld on some D rings to the tractor for anchor points for transportation.

This has been the best purchase I've made so far. It has the receiver mount already welded on, I used this to mount my Diamond or you can use a Fisher plow and use pins to mount it directly to this plate. Free shipping too.

Nice setup you have there. How does your tractor do in the snow with chains on all fours? I have a Kioti NX4510 that I was thinking of installing 2 link chains on the front and Duo H-bar chains on the rear. Some folks say you shouldn't run chains on all fours so that there is some tire slippage.

I run all 4s without worry.
Axles aren't *that* delicate.
V-bar ladder. They're mean.

That center shoe is only for stowing the blower, it’s not a skid shoe to be left down, just Incase you didn’t know.

I been running 4 link chains on all 4 for years. No problems

How does the Massey handle that big ol blower? I have a front one, but I've always thought about putting a rear one on and putting a small plow on the front. For me, a plow would be used 90% to the 10% blower usage.

Looks like you got it figured out.

:thumbsup: Nice...like the canopy does come in handy when the snow clumps fall from the trees.

The ball is stationary. The trailer hitch connection is welded to the leading edge of the blade so there is the pivot point.
A pic before painting. Dimensions 12" leading edge, 24" trailing edge, and 96" length.

I remember reading that thread and thinking this is about one of the coolest ideas I've seen. The trailer hitch and ball joint at the front is ingenious.

I finally got some of the white stuff! 1.5" of it to be exact! I used the rear blade to cut that powdery white stuff into a nice line, then sucked it up. it was beautiful.

I remember those days.:laughing:
