If not, this is what worked on the Project Farm Video

Yep, Just has to determine maximum available space (LxWxH), tie down method (lip or top) and terminal location. It would be a bit easier if there was a battery in it for comparison.

Looking at some TBN threads, 51R seems to be a suitable replacement dimension wise. Just not which side the positive terminal is on, and if it has a bottom lip if that is how your battery is held down.

I guess I assumed that the wires were just stuffed in there with no outlet installed (no live current).

You can also poke at it with a needle or ice pick.

They were easy to make. I was concerned whether or not 1/8" would be heavy enough for the wings. The first time out, I caught the corner of my garage apron. A golf ball size piece of concrete broke off, and no dent to the wing!

"I’m looking more for smaller tractors that are still capable as I want to be able to get my tractor into my garage (6.5’ tall doors), and fit around lots of obstacles I have. I don’t plan to mow with it, but would like a mid PTO so I could in the future if things change." Oops, I didn't see...

Based on what you said, my choices would be Kubota LX 2610SU Kubota B2601 Yanmar SA324

I made wings for my rear push snowblower. They worked great and were robust. I had no issues with feeding or going through thick or crusted snow. I did give them a slight taper up (about 1/2") at the leading edges so they wouldn't dig in, but any snow they left behind was negligible. The wings...

If I was going to clear an airport runway, I would consider it. I'll admit the rotating side edges is a clever design. What kind of snowblower do you have?

Not exactly cheap. $200 per inch of width!

I put some of these up on our hunting land.

Author Michael Perry (Population 485) told a pretty good story about keeping trespassers or curiosity seekers out. He didn't want to do a gate or a fence and he didn't want to get too hostile with signs. He decided to take an old piece of barn wood and paint a sign in blood red paint. He...

Keep the barn exterior as is. Buy a cheap forklift to maneuver the implements into the stalls from the center aisle.

Dumb question, but how do you deal with deliveries, guests?

Rear Pull Snowblowers seem to run $1,500 or so more than traditional snowblowers. Worth every penny in my opinion (I sold my 3pt blower for $800 more than I paid for it, so that took some of the sting out of it). I think US dealers don't stock them because of that, but if they had a demo on...

Well stated

Is the picture you posted oriented with North on the Top?

It sounds like you understand your needs, challenges and limitations and have put together a sound plan.

It looks like you have R1s. That's good. If you have R4s you'll need chains. I have R1s and wheel weights on my 40hp New Holland. I have never had an issue with traction. My previous tractor had R4s and they turned into racing slicks in wet snow.

How often do you get over 18" of snow? If not that often, you still have your bucket.

I have a 12x12 shuttle with 4 speeds and 3 ranges. All my blowing is in the M range. I haven't had to go down to L range, but could if I had to for the first pass. It does help to keep the RPMs up.

You might ask SD455dan. He just bought an 84" for his 55hp geared Rhino. Sounds like it handled it well in wet snow. From the specs I see on the WIFO page the blower and fan are the same on the 78"and 84" The only difference is the width and weight ((45 lb difference). After your first...

The auger shear pin did not shear. He had to remove it and then the auger turned freely.

Looks nice with the pots and pans hung up.

If you don't have a heavy hydraulic press, you could support the arms across a couple of bricks and use your bucket as a press.

Great combo room - Storm Shelter/Looter Deterrent

Nice. They are handy. Here.s what I did with scrap angle iron and my forks.

I actually like joint ventures - obviously both parties think it is beneficial for them. I'm just trying to figure out how this will affect TYM's range of models (given all the overlap they already have). It will be a coup for them if they get the IHMT transmission.

I'm trying to figure this out. TYM gets 3 Yanmar models to add to their lineup. They already have some redundancy with the (former) Branson models. Maybe looking to get that cool Yanmar IHMT transmission, or looking to gain some cred with the Yanmar name? I expected that there would be some...

Have you used an electric meter to check continuity?

I can't speak to ready made pre-mix, But I can share something abut the oil. I have always used Stihl synthetic with god results. Recently, I bought a ported and modified Echo from a saw builder who has a great reputation. He recommended Red Armor. He said Stihl oil is good, but Red Armor is...

Poor man's corduroy?

Are you sure a small rock hasn't lodged behind the blower fan?

Liked ... An old road grader guy once told me, "a road without a ditch is a ditch"

Using a rear blade is clever

Does your 1066 gave a backhoe? If yes, attach the skidding tongs to that. If not, put a short boom on a 3pt trailer mover, and use skidder tongs.

Can't wait to see your second post in 2033!

That's what first responders are for, but you're still alive to rescue. That said, I'm surprised they don't cut out the center of the outward swinging door and put in a smaller inward swinging door.

I hope you never have to use it. I'll be happy for you if you do have to use it. PS: I might include a small bottle of good bourbon, to have a shot after the storm passes .

You could use some reflective paint inside. For some reason, I thought you could remove the hinges from the inside if you needed to. In any case,after the storm, first responders usually check for people needing help. Now, you have to start putting together your emergency supplies.

Looks peaceful to me.

Which model do you like better, and why?

It will be great for TYM if they can put the Yanmar IMHT transmission (Integrated Hydro Mechanical Transmission) in their tractors. Also, as stated in the article TYM expects quality control across the company will improve by supplying products and parts compliant with Yanmar America's strict...

ArlyA thinks towing an implement is harder on an ATV than plowing. Perhaps. However he still hasn't explained how plowing is actually untaxing to the engine.

We're not being critical of your machine. We're just trying to understand how plowing is actually untaxing to the engine. If that were the case, race cars would have plows on the front :)

Just stopped in at my local Kioti dealer. They sold 5 tractors last week - mostly SCUT and smal frame CUT. They said sales have been good and are hoping they keep getting inventory.

Seeing both things set is a nice milestone.

I still see don't how a plow untaxes a UTV or ATV engine. It seems to me that it is adding force the engine and drive train needs to overcome, not to mention the occasional shock load.

How is plowing untaxing to the engine and drive components? If that were the case plow trucks should have no transmission or drive train issues.

It's worth remembering your before pictures.

looks like you need to keep the deer off your pretty groomed trail.

I read this thread and came to realize that Power Trac is better than any CUT ever made ;)

Final nail in the coffin ;)

Now you're talkin!

Just buy some floor dry for the leaks under the Mahindra.

That presumes that TYM makes parts for it's current tractors :p

Progress that starts looking like something. How do you like the Kreg Jig? How was that pot pie?

Man vs. Nature 😟

I wondered about that as well. It looks like it is back against the treeline farther south.

Those answers are helpful. Would that property owner let you dredge/move that dogleg upstream (or downstream)?

If it is possible,it would be best if the stream flow is straight across your driveway, and any direction change (which slows water and deposits sediment) occurred upstream or downstream of your driveway.

So, is this your primary residence now? How many days/year is it currently impassable? Does the stream flow North to South or South to North? In the areal photo, the stream bed is amazingly straight. Was that path created by man or nature? Can you move that dogleg upstream or downstream so...

So, is this your primary residence now? How many days/year is it currently impassable? I think people are getting a better idea about your situation, so hopefully comments keep coming in. Maybe post more pics and a few more map views? Maybe one that includes the county road, the easement...

I took some liberties.

Here are his high water and low water pics

Are both photos looking down the same direction? Is that the county road at a T at the top of the picture?

If this dry creek that gets pretty wet lies between your house and civilization, I would want to make a sufficient investment to make something rugged. I think you could find a junked out semi trailer from a construction company or heavy towing service. The Box Culvert(s) idea isn't a bad...

A lot of Olivers had 40" tires Maybe try asking on Yesterday's tractors or some other Oliver Forum. You could also inquireon some Farmall forums. You could also easily find a set of wheels and tires off a Farmall C or H, but you might have to slightly bore out the hub clamp. F12/14 use 2...

It sounds like this whole area isn't very much higher than the creek. Again a sketch or map of the drive and creek(s) would be helpful.

How about some rubber tube patching material?

A map of the county road, your drive, the main creek and feeder creeks would be helpful. (an areal view, Microsoft Paint drawing, or a sketch on the back of a napkin.

Designing bridge that goes over a creek has been changing its bed exceeds my pay grade. Good luck!

That is a great deal. You will like the GST.

How wide is it if the crossing is perpendicular, not diagonal?

Others have used sem-trailers in bridge costruction. Not sure if that would meet your specs.

Richard, when you watch that FlowFX Video, do you think there is enough "give" to connect to his PVC that is 6 degrees off plumb?

Maybe there is enough flex / give between all of the elements to make this work. (a little dremel action?)

You will have to keep us up to date on how this plays out.

Two dealers, 9.3 miles apart. This will be a good case study.

From USA Today Balaam said the accident occurred after Renner used his snowcat to help a family member who had driven one of Renner's personal vehicles and was stuck in the snow near the actor's home. After towing the vehicle with his snowcat, which weighs over 14,000 pounds, Renner got out...

I have a 2001 L3010 and I love it. I would look for any leaks (there won't be any) and general condition. I would run it through all the gears and make sure each shift engagement is crisp (you don't have to jiggle to find a gear) and clutching is smooth.

Won't the Branson dealer also become a TYM dealer?

You would think that the Dingos would keep the Bandicoot population down in VA :)

How did this happen? Actor Jeremy Renner is in critical but stable condition following a snowplough accident in Nevada over the weekend. “We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while ploughing snow...

Wonder how bedliner would work? Skateboard tape is very grippy.

This will be interesting to watch over the next 5 years. I have confidence TYM will provide parts and support to the legacy Branson line- it would hurt the TYM brand not to. That said, Branson will become more and more invisible in the TYM Mothership. I doubt they will keep all the models in...

OP didn't follow TBN protocol by bashing the manufacturer for not providing the proper fasteners for his application. ;) I don't know anyone who doesn't love Ken's Bolt On Hooks.

I have a feeling there's more to the story.

Is somebody cutting onions around here? 😭 Any parent would trade places with their child if it would take away their pain. Hoping for a good recovery.

I would try to contact the owner of that facebook page (or ask a Bobcat Dealer) ENGINEMASTERS INC. Industrial Engine Parts and Rebuilding

I kinda get it,and I kinda don't. It would be nice to see a pic of them mounted.

Is this close?

Could have been worse

So, what broke?

You notice she does all the work, and the pansy in the truck just kind of stands there?

Hire her!

Will this vent pipe go somewhere, or will there be an air admittance valve of some sort?

Where is the groomer you built last year?

This?

I had a friend who's Dad said, "You better find a job you love, because there will be days you'll hate that." I have never had a job I didn't love. Congratulations on ypur good luck.

Weather radios are cheap also.

I get it, but if you can get a run, even a 300cc ATV can push a lot of snow.

It is amazing how much ATVs can push - especially if you can get a head if steam.

After every tornado, First responders go out and look for survivors. Maybe add a bullhorn to your list?

You have been so meticulous on your build. I know it is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback,but are are you going to fill in the gaps in the sheetrock around the water and waste pipes? (I know they are out of sight)

Stubborn or dumb?

Why is the blade down at all if you are grooming?

Does the neighbor think the rocks serve a purpose?

Good use of emojis!

It will take you a couple of times to figure out your optimal paths with the blower

Looks like ARM mortgages only make up about 10% of total mortgages, but I agree that nobody should do an ARM unless the escalation potential in the contract is acceptable.

We were out of town for a couple of days, and another 4-5"of snow fell in our absence. It took less than 1/2 hour to clean everything up. I wouldn't call it boring, I would call it easy. The same could be said for front mounted blowers, but I like having my loader available.

I keep saying that if dealers kept s demo on the lot, they'd sell a bunch.

So, what's the verdict? Are you happy with your purchase? Did it's performance meet your expectations?

MK Martin Meteor Rear Pull Earned its keep today with 12" of heavy wet snow. It worked flawlessly.

I was out with my rear pull snowblower today in 12" of heavy wet snow. I cleared my place, 7 of the neighbors driveways, and widened the 1/2 mile road the neighbor had plowed. A few observations: It still threw 30' or so, but it takes power. I had to go slower than normal and up the RPMs...

Your stove looks like it burns just right. You have to be happy with that.

There is some pretty good discussion here. My Industrial Cabin Build

I suspect that John Deere and Kubota will let the Mothership cruise along, but I wonder what the up and comers (Kioti, LS, Mahindra, etc.) do. They liked gaining market share during the pandemic, and are going to want to continue to build their brand. Additionally, they are not going to want...

We're probably pretty close to being on the same page. I'm talking about the dual income suburbanites who have high paying jobs and maybe recently purchased some property. The siren song of owning a CUT can be pretty strong. much the same as ATVs and UTVs. I'm still waiting to see bargain...

I don't disagree about the working class,but there's plenty of weekend warriors who would still like a CUT, and will be tempted if the price drops a bit.

I think there is still a lot of latent demand for CUTs. The price on new or used wouldn't have to drop much for demand to pick up again. Financing cost is another matter.

I'm thinking your LS Dealer might want to contact the distributor in Utah.

Famous last words: Here, hold my beer There are no obstacles in my drive/yard

An inverted wouldn't be right for a small CUT, or long deep drifts. The banks that a plow leaves at the end of a driveway can easily be handled by your loader, and then you're back to blowing.

I live 75 miles south of Duluth. Here is my 40hp New Holland and a 68" MK Matin rear pull snowblower. I bought mine from Iowa Farm Equipment.

Your build is amazing. I feel that you are now at the stage that is like the final ascent of Mt. Everest. You can see that magnificent final destination, but the only way to get there is to keep taking one agonizing step after another. The journey makes it worth it.

That's pretty nice. BTW, maybe you'll be done before Haley's Comet will comes back around. ;)

I agree. Unless you regularly get 4' snowdrifts or you do not have tractor enough to drive through some snow, an inverted is a great snow clearing option. I've had a conventional 3pt blower and an inverted. The inverted has cut my snowblowing time in half. Yes, I still look back occasionally...

Sounds like quite a medical journey for Lauren. I hope it comes to a good end.

You have plenty to do in the meantime.

PB blaster, a mallet and a pry bar and was able to get the rim off. Local tire guy seated the bead and aired it up for 10 bucks. Back in action within an hour. What's the fun in that?

My son's camper sat with a flat tire over a winter. The 12" tire was deformed a bit, and I couldn't get it to seat. I did put a generous bead of grease on the rim - both to lubricate it and to seal it, and it did the trick. Good thing, because ether was next.

So there are no brackets welded on OEM ROPS for mounting points, lights, hinges, etc.?

Between labor shortages and supply chain issues, we've gone from just in time, to I hope I can get one. It will get better in time, but it takes a bit of time to smooth out. Hang in there.

How often do you find branches/trees across the trail in the winter due to wind or snow load?

More Boomers are aging out of the workforce than there are Gen Zs coming in to replace them. That is a primary driver of the labor shortage.
