That should surprise old man winter when he comes a knocking. :thumbsup:

Nice looking blower. You should be able to blow sky high with that dual stage blower. :thumbsup:

Holy crikey. I like it!

 

[K man]

Yep I would say that weapon is ready for the snow :thumbsup:

Here's the snow-weapon I just picked up... a well used 89 F250 302 5spd 4x4 with a good condition western plow. She's rusty but in good running condition.

2orodd....That's one heck of (beast) setup. :thumbsup:

Unless my eyes are deceiving me is that blower designed to be used going forward?

I can't say I've ever seen one like that where you have to drive over the snow first.

Inverted snow-blower,real popular in Canada.Takes a "big" tractor to work right I would think.

Big tractor and little snow. Seems like that would be difficult to use in deep snow or big drifts.

roadhunter: yes i will need to drive over the snow first.(never been a problem) over here it is normal to have a rear mounted snowblower to drag after you, and a big plow to have in fornt. this is only for private use

Interesting. I guess I can see how the plow would knock the snow down to a manageable height so the rear blower could be used. Probably Have 20+/- inches of clearance at the axles so as long as the front plow could knock it down I see how that would work as long as the snow wasn't' too deep. I can't imagine it would work very well trying to drive through a large drift though. Plus driving over it packs it down.

I think it was Fisher plows that used to say "Plow with the storm". That is the best approach with multiple feet snow storms. It also seems that "the big one's" are dry & fluffy, that rig of 2orodd's would not have much if any trouble with 3' of that type snow, esp with those chain's. So far I think he has the "baddest" tractor based snow weapon here:thumbsup:

Inverted blowers are known as the most efficient style in the commercial snow removal biz.

Of course there are always exceptions to everything.

That is one outstanding machine!

My primary is the quad. 1996 sportsman with 60" plow. Handles 90 percent of the snowfalls. If it gets too deep or if banks need to be pushed I use my 1964 Massey Ferguson 150 with snow bucket and 6 ft rear blade.

I have read as much as I could about how everyone has mounted plows on tractors. I took from that what I could and decided to do a frame mount Fisher MM1 plow on my Kubota L3200. I found a plow for $400.00. I have $400.00 dollars in steel and related materials. I have $150.00 in hydraulic hoses and quick connectors. So for just under $1000.00 and about 12 hours labor I came up with what you see in the pictures. The plow is 7.5 foot. Up/Down Left/Right run off the tractor joy stick. Unfortunately the up/down is on the curl / dump and the left/right is on the up/down due to the Regen feature of Kubota. Thanks to the members who helped me figure out the hydraulics. Now I just need to sand blast and paint, getting a little late may not happen till spring.

Nice job:thumbsup:
Now all we need is snow!

Looks like a snow moving beast! Nice job.
