Going to pick up a ZMI 960 snow pusher tomorrow. I was told they have lots of adjustment for gravel. $1300.

Lots of good ideas

I did have a rear blade but sold it last year. Was ok for plowing but mostly used it around the house when I built. I do have hydraulics to my bucket for my grapple.

My drive is not straight. The more I think about it a FEL plow might be better?

I'm thinking of getting a 5 foot snow pusher. I have a gravel drive that is about 600 feet long. I'm thinking it might work better than my bucket and turf tammers as far as being more efficient time wise? My bucket always seems to pack up with snow. Any thoughts?

I notice that my inner tie rod ends had play in them while putting chains on my front tires. Ordered a set from my dealer and they are a heavier design. Called my dealer and he said Kioti has redesigned the inner tie rod ends? Turns out they wont work with the original outer tie rods so I have...

I will probably get an oil analysis done.

My manual states the oil light should stay on no longer than 5 seconds. I am due for an oil change. Picked up 2.5 gallons of T6 last night. Going in today.

I've been using the Mobil 15w-40 extreme for about a year now. I just finished plowing and the temp was about 17 degrees. My tractor is kept in an equipment shed. When I start it in cold weather it turns right over and always starts in a few seconds. My oil pressure light might stay on for...

I'll be coming up on just about two years since I changed both filters and hydro oil to mobil 424. I maybe have 130 hours since. My manual seems a bit vague. I take it trans oil and filters every 200 hours? Just wondering what you guys do? BTW fluid is super clear.

I have the same Tractor. Seems the manual is a bit unsure of service intervals for hydro filters and fluid after 400 hours? I did hydro filters and fluid at 50 hours and again at just shy of 300 hours. In the future I would like to do fluid and filters at the same time? What would you guys'...

The above machine did not pan out. I did find 2 one owner 318's that have been very well maintained. 1400 and 1800 hours on the B series Onans. They are at $4750 for both machines, a 46,48 and 50' deck, snow plow, snow blower, tire chains and a box of new JD air and oil Filters and belts...

Looking at buying a one owner Jd 318 with 715 hours. Been garaged all its life but paint is a bit faded. Seat has been replaced. Engine surges on start up but I believe that is due to old gas. Service and owners manuals. Deck is a 50" that appears to be in good shape. These seem like very...

I am in North Central Pa. Just west of Wellsboro Pa.

Went ahead and ordered a kl4030 loader. I got another quote that was $3400 plus my loader. I'm going to keep my current 60" bucket as I welded chain hooks on it and have a tooth bar that was made for it by BXpanded. I have to wait till July or August to get it.
