Mine did great with snow this past storm. Normal snowplower got pickup plow truck stuck. Time to bring in the heavy artillery.

I wouldn’t want too much bigger. Loader is huge on this thing and the tractor is over 15,000lbs.

You're definitely working in comfort! Your machines are beasts.

The sun was out all weekend up here!

Saturday was beautiful, the perfect day to be out moving snow. Today was fairly nice as well.

It's crazy how close this storm is just brushing against us.

Might need both in action the way the snow is starting to pile up here.
~15 inches of “not real” snow coming our way today.
Great times for solar power generation ;P

Brrrr where cold is cold. Especially now.

Hope ya'll can stay warm from the cold bomb or snow bomb can't remember what they called it on the news.

It's not too bad at the moment, we're almost out of the storms path, right on the edge.

The missus is making beef stew, the generator is ready if needed- but I think it's just fine here.

Ordered some Otis axle vents, finally; I have only been talking about it for close to two years.

The VDS-2 fits the Kioti CK series.
They are interesting, but I think they would sell more if they stated what thread they have. There are a lot tractors out there which are not John Deere.

May I suggest using jack stands or hydraulic cylinder blocks when working under mower, tractor hydraulics are nor fail safe and have been know to release dropping load.....
Yep, and the drop can be sudden.

80 ac and bought a new Yanmar YM347 two years ago. Had been using an old Massey 135; shredder and box blade. Sold it and shredder and got the new one. Kept the old box blade I learned on! Added top-n-tilt. Love it! My wife is starting to run it now. She’ll say, “We sure needed that tractor” as we use it from small to large jobs.

One of the reasons it took me forever to order it was getting around to finding my thread, I purchased a kit to find the thread myself.

The other reason was price, but given the stress put on these axles with the lift capacity of a modern compact tractor, I figure it's worth it.
