That is way too cool!! I'm guessing you'll clear more snow than your own driveway.

thanks i have about 6 of my neighbors to do

I would think walking the blower would be easier. Doesn't the mower get stuck in anything over a couple inches?

I am all set for this year...if it snows...but then again I am not complaining. Little different set-up this year. The rear blade was modified to pin to the loader arms and the remainder of the rear blade parts were made into a weight box/utility box.

Do you have anymore pics of this? I like that setup. I'm building a loader for my beaver and have been thinking about an idea for a snow plow attactment!

Now thats a snow beast...care to share info etc.

Here's the link to the write up I did last year when I moved the blower up front in the Build it yourself forum.
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/187397-max-snow-beast-finished.html

I intended to make a cab for it and started using a Jeep top as below. It looked cool as heck but found I had no visibility with it, so intend to make one using Wallyworld clear vinyl, fastened with velcro. I'll only have to frame in the door on one side and will probably put a glass windshield so I can use a wiper. If you need a windshield, flat glass from pickup, bus etc windows work good with a mullion between to make it wider if necessary. As for The vinyl yard goods from Wally's durability, I built drop down shutters for my porch with it 5 years ago and it still looks like the day we put it up.

So simple yet effective.
All the big heavy gear is ok for lots of snow but mostly it's overkill for light clearing.
And I bet this little fella uses a lot less of our dwindling resources.
Happy New Year to you All

Interesting..would that setup be yours?
Home made plow setup?

Thanks for sharing Fergie Bach.

 

[Fergie Bach]

No not mine. But says on the added German notes that the plow was 26 years old in 2011.Tractor is 1954. The plough is homemade.The owner also states to a query that the tractor is not pushed sideways even when working deeper snow,though there must be some counter force. Having the plough close to the front must help.
Have a good one.

The owner also states to a query that the tractor is not pushed sideways even when working deeper snow,though there must be some counter force.

The tractor has split (steering) brakes (note the two brake pedals to the right of the operator's station) and the operator knows how to use 'em.
Sounds like a one cylinder diesel and definitely a low reving engine.

 

[Fergie Bach]

I'm not sure if you're right.While the tractor does have two brake pedals the gas pedal is inboard of them on the same side.Must be quite a dance to achieve braked steering! And a couple of times one can clearly see the wheels steering the plow. Not saying you're wrong just not sure if that it is the case. It's interesting if the little thing does manage to push the snow aside without correction from the brakes.
Plow and mount well designed? Good angle?

I cant remember if I posted these a while back but here is my setup...

 

[smiley]

I saw several of these pull behind 2 stage blowers in Montreal last week. Although one was clearing the parking lane on one street, I assume they're meant for driveway clearing where you back up to the garage, drop the little blade, pull ahead far enough to get the blower behind it then have at it.

very nice set up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nnaatz]

i think the snow got scared away!!

 

[bubbacuse77]

I just finished building the plow from scratch and reused parts of the mold board from an really old plow. I also added a new cylinder to the chute deflector. We just can't seem to get enough snow to use it this year.

 

[nnaatz]

i also have this...

the home built skidloader, dont laugh to hard

 

[JB4310]

Looks like we're all dressed up with no where to go?

All green and brown around here, last year this time we had record snow :confused2:

I heard there is some significant lake effect snow out there, not here though.

Added some extra weight to my little guy. and a pic of the fleet a couple of years ago.

The last two winters we have had enough snow that I wished I had the tractor. Today we have had flurries and there is still three months left of winter.
