We have 6 inches of wet snow and more on the way. The weight box works great. It is so compact I don't have to worry about it when backing close to objects. It is set at 561# and ... if a little is good, how much more can I add without stressing the rear axel? ( is set up for 200# additional pounds ) It handles the weight so easily I hardly know it is there. The five foot plow works great and covers the tracks at full angle. I really don't need a loader but..... the thought is always there.

I can't see your face but I can tell your smiling. Looks like a street lamp pole mounted on your brushguard. That sure looks like fun, but I'm glad that's one of the things I don't have to contend with where I am. I'm ready for spring.

I guess I'll get some of the white stuff some day. The only snow I can see from my house is on Ski Liberty and that's man made snow. :(

We were suppose to get some of that white stuff but I think again it will miss us. Way to warm here and was suppose to be here last night.

Great pic! Glad to see you with the snow rather than me :D ,,, though the tractors do make it a little more fun to play in.
Regarding your axel.... the replacement 2320 specs say they can handle 1150lbs 24" behind the link arms... so yours should handle the extra 200lbs without a problem. Thanks for the pic... post more if you have them :cool: .... always fun to look at.

I can push 12 inches of snow with my 66 or 67 Bolens with just a 12 inch cement filled concrete block on the back,so why would you need any more weight?
All you need is just enough to do the job and no more.

Your playing...opps...working way to hard in your pic,slow down and enjoy. :)

Nice setup...good piece of hard rubber etc..on your weight box might save some tears or nasty words. ;)

Snow,sooo you folks have the snow valve wide open and not sharing w/the northeast. :)

LBrown 59; What the picture doesn't show is the remaining 300+' of curved drive to the main road. It does a pretty good job now but with a little more weight and the dif lock I can plow both ways. The box was made for 8 additional iron bars adding 200#. The 3 point raises it easily and when I purchase a loader it may be perfect for balance. The frame is alot stronger than I imagined. The 2 speed works flawlessly as I am quite impressed with such a small package.
My western plow angle cylinder sprung a leak so todays plan is to repair and replace. I am enjoying the " winter wonderland " @ 36 degrees.
