We had a session of ice pellets today during one of many rain showers in ten degree"C" temperatures today.

I built a rear pto chaincase with a double row #50 chain. The case is close to the pto so I can still utilize the three point for a back blade. I like the positive power transmission like the Erskine and Schulte blowers. Experimental of course, lots of sittn n thinkin. The rotation issues will be #60 chain with idlers in front of the ssqa plate. No mods to the blower so it can be returned to regular three point configuration.

Mechanical driven from the rear? Will you chain the loader in position so you can't move it too much?

Prob use slotted flat bar on the lift cylinders to limit travel.

We had the first dusting of snow in the mountains last night. Night time temps have dropped a bunch the last couple of days.

Getting closer every day. Have about sixteen inches of lift without compromising the pto shaft. FD83D879-9B66-4E39-A90B-94BF6A085FE4.jpeg5A02A0D1-65EF-4D73-9073-2951F6A4A96A.jpeg[ATTACH

According to my gauge we got 2" of rain before the snow started and an inch earlier in the week. Should help a lot. We've been babying the well for over a month. 4 neighbors have either drilled new wells or went deeper last month.

Light dusting here too. Can't say I welcome the early snow, but at least it's precipitation. We've been extremely dry since spring.

Same here, we've gotten 8+" of rain in the last couple weeks, very much appreciated after a really dry summer. Our well didn't go dry but it did get to within a couple inches of the pipe. It's recovered since then. No more flushing with river water! :thumbsup:

Got 3.5" of wet, heavy snow overnight, didn't do this lilac any favors...

Great explanatory pictures. All the thought you must have put into this seems to be paying off big time. Very impressive.
