Just found the forum..

Just a bit about myself, my wife and I have a 20+ acre property North of Sandpoint Idaho, our place is the farthest back on a 1 mile private road, over the last 11 years of living here we have gone from using an old Chevy Blazer with a plow to a Ford Pickup with a V plow to borrowing an old Ford 2wd Tractor with a blower, to a very old D7 Cat to keep the road clear in the Winter. Finally in the Winter storms of 2007 with a record of over 14' of snow fall I bought my first tractor..

I bought a Kubota L185DT and have been running her to death for the last 6 years, actually the Ole' Gal had over 25,000 hours and still started every cold snowy morning and threw snow for me when I asked.
I put a 60" Farm King blower on it, and was barely making it down the road dripping oil all the way As long as I was out there and never let the snow get deeper then 6 inches I did ok..
During the Summer I was using a SBX-60 Bush Hog Box Scraper to keep the road in shape... Along with a 54" Rear blade and the FEL I did a little work with it..


The week before Christmas 2012 we got hit with over 3 feet of snow in 2 days, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and trade off the L185DT and get more power..

I found a L3600DT that had just cracked 1000 hours, we traded just the tractors and FEL's I kept all the old implements..

This is the Old Gal

I have had the L3600 for just over 1 month and I am still changing things around to get it set up for what I need, more threads on the changes to come later :)

Sandpointer ahh, your just up the road from me. Athol Idaho here.

You guys do tend to get hit harder with snow then we do. I have friends in Sandpoint, and they sure get burried at times.
