    Snowblowing rules of thumb

    Nice to see that my writeup is still here after a dozen years. I still have the same setup!

    Snow B2782B NOISE

    You sent me a personal message regarding your tractor and blower problem. I have the predecessor tractor (B3030 HSDC) and blower (B2782). I have a male quick hitch & subframe (B2791 to convert the mid PTO to drive the front mounted blower). I assume you also require that part. I listened...

    B2784 chute rotator for B2782 snowblower, leaking hydraulic fluid badly

    Does anyone know anything about this part? I can't find a manual or anything regarding it.

    2015 Z06 Corvette at Big Mac

    Yes, I owned a 2001 Z06, a 2007 Z06 and now the 2015 Z06. Each was nicer than the previous one. I just sold the 2007 last week and I took the picture below of the 2 together.

    This picture of the Mackinac Bridge was taken from the shore of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The bridge is 5 miles long and represent the artificial divider of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. They do maintenance work on it all summer in preparation for our harsh winters. If you look...

    We had about 40" of wet heavy snow for Veteran's Day

    Here in the central upper Peninsula of Michigan we had close to 40" of wet heavy snow making it look like mid February. I am sure it is here to stay the duration of winter. Here is a short snow blowing movie I made: http://youtu.be/6GJ7zBnn8Zc

    Our first spring snow storm of the year

    We have had about one foot of fairly dense snow, so far today. I ran the blower at maximum to avoid problem as the snow was very dense. This makes about 16' for the year and the 24th, and hopefully last time this year. Well there will still be some more tomorrow. It is supposed to get up to...

    My First Motorcycle

    My 1979 Triumph Bonneville Special below which I bought new for $1,900. After spending more than it cost new to recondition it, it now runs great. They are fairly rare. I think it is just beautiful. I will never part with it:

    Snow depth has reached it maximum

    We have had about a foot of wet heavy snow today, the big beautiful flake variety, but mostly tonight, so I went out and took a couple of pictures of the snow on the trees behind my house before the wind blows the snow off the trees. Most of the trees on my property are pine as you can see. The...

    My 'as new' Kubota B3030 HST cab

    I am going to answer the question you had for me regarding the Westbjorn snowblower you were considering here, rather than in a private message. I have a picture of my blower below on the day that it arrived in 2008. I have an official Kubota snowblower (B2782) which is 160 CM wide and an...

    Edward could you post a picture which shows your hydraulic controller in the cab. It looks a bit different than mine pictured here:

    Best rear tire filler for cold weather

    When I bought my tractor in 2007 (Kubota B3030 HSDCC), the dealer filled the rear tires with beet juice as additional ballast. It was a very cold year and the tires flat spotted and had a frozen spot so it would bump along every tire cycle. I don't remember that being a problem until this year...

    Anyone have LED lights for a B3030 HSDCC?

    I was looking to replace the 4 exterior cab lights with powerful LED lights. Has anyone done this and where, or what lights did you buy?
