L3700SU pushing show with 8 foot blade!

[stoyan79]

When I originally put this setup together, I thought the L3700SU is not big enough to push 8 foot blade, guess what, I was wrong.
Tractor is totally stock, R4 tires, no extra weights!
Don't even have to shift in low, didn't use the locking diff either!
It is unstoppable, it even pushes the small mountain of snow I created today.

Like the setup.
With plow extended so far hows rear traction w/no extra ballast..wonder how pushing heavy wet snow.

I recommend putting rear ballast on to relieve some of the weight on the front axle when blade is only being supported by the loader arms.

I run a 7 foot Western on my B2400. I need chains and rear ballast. For rear ballast I use a 5 foot box blade. There is a significant difference in the handling with rear ballast. I can tell that there is less stress on the front axle.

BTW, Nice job.

Not to pee on your snow pushing job, it looks like your tractor did a great job, but your land looks to be flat as a pancake. Down here in the hills, it is often a big struggle to get the tractor up a hill at all without chains, let alone try to push snow. Also different snows push a lot differently. Dry vs wet for instance. Again no disrespect meant.

We have no hills in Indiana

I think if this tractor was a girl, I will be cheating on my wife right about now :thumbsup:

Is this normal?

Well you gotta remember when you "snuggle" with your 'bota she has a mighty cold heart this time of year.
