Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

What is the provision for lateral yaw float?

There is none. I thought hard about adding that in to the mount, but my last "V" didn't have that and I really "horse" my plows later on in the season pushing the banks back that can get very hard & icy. Now if I had a machine shop tools I'd be tempted to put a very heavy center pin for a few degrees of lateral rotation. Now I'm limited to some heavy wall DOM tubing and a 1" or there about bolt. I did that on a straight blade I built a few years ago and it performs well, just not sure if it would be the same on a "V" blade.
Here's a few pics of that one, look for the nut/bolt in the center.

Nice snow plowing video and scenery, watched it twice. I never seen an eagle on my property, your fortunate.

GAPROPERTY,

How does that HLA1000 feel on the 3000 series Kubota? 20" height and 400 lbs I was wondering if it felt like you can easily bend it.

Does the HLA have Vertical Float? Using a snowplow on a loader is tough as it is hard to find the correct angle every time you drop the blade to the ground. Lots of vertical float is important to help keep the stones on the driveway.

Now that's what I call enjoying plowing snow...thanks for sharing.

Lots of snow - Nice and toasty in Soft Cab!

Took the loader off after cleaning the garage enough to have access to where I wanted to put it. I've tried and tried to have it on wheels, and can't seem to figure it out. Last year I drug it by hand sideways about 8', and that SUCKED. So I figured out how to put it where I want to from the other end of the garage. MUCH nicer...

Then I put the stupid subframe on and the blower on. I hate that subframe.
I still have to put on the chains (which I also hate doing) & put down my floor-protecting mats.

I hated the sub frame too. After doing it a few times it got easier. Now takes me 1/2-3/4 of an hour to take front end loader off and install sub frame/blower. Once on, I enjoy blowing snow in the comfort of my heated cab.

My cab isn't heated, nor enclosed, but yeah.....
It went on super easy this time. Biggest key is to put the back on first with the drawbar. The frame was on a harbor freight dolly, and it all just worked. Same with taking the loader off (then I plug the hydraulics into a bleeding bank I made so I can burp it before re-attaching). I did all of it in probably an hour, with some random monkeying around included in that. So much better and less swearing than years past.

And here I complain to myself about a 20 - 30 minute job to remove the FEL and install my front blower. Subsequent exchanges are easier as I can use the FEL with the snow blower sub frame attached.

Time for me to quit complaining.

For sure.. haha.

Taking the brush guard on/off and putting that bracket on stinks too.

It's all worth it to blow at 3+ mph (limited by the bumpy ride my chains give me) while not crinking my neck though.

 

[MossRoad]

Makes me happy that I can change an implement like that in about 30 seconds.

I hated taking the brush guard off too so I bought a 955 front snow blower bracket that slips on. I welded 955 style front attachment points onto my brush guard. That makes attaching the snowblower a lot faster.

The only problem is that now I have a used once BM19575 complete kit for sale as I don't need it any more.

I need to do some googling to understand, but I'm intrigued.

Put my poly edge on today. Bring on the snow! :cool2:

My sub frame is not like yours. I drive my tractor over the frame and align up the pin holes that attaches it to the tractor. Then I connect the hydraulic hoses and drive shaft to the mid PTO and then drive up to the blower, attach the shorter driveshaft to the blower housing and then lift it up and raise leg stand and I am done. If this makes any sense
Here is a few pics of the sub frame before installing

There is a pair of them here. Also 20 minutes from here there are 3 pairs. It's great to see them coming back. My father in law was a lobster fishermen and would feed them. They would follow his truck and Hoover over his boat.

Gee, Ray, tough going digging the firewood out of the snow! Canadian Tire has 9’ x 12’ tarps on sale right now for only about $2.30 each.

I will check that out. Think I will fall 10 cords of trees then process up what I can. Thanks.

Tuesday night I didn't have the chains on but stayed of of the ditch. Wednesday night it slid into the ditch so i put the chains on. We had roughly 18 inches of snow over Tues and Wed. Today it got up to 60 deg and most of the snow is gone now. Later

Oldpath...chains make a big difference. I tried stuffs. They did ok until they wore. I went up an ice driveway then slid back into a tree and bent up my blower. It was then I decided to invest in chains
