Default Am I ready for snow?

You Betcha!

Here's a pic of my 850 and 36 inch dozer blade with a 60 inch snow blade modded to fit on it. I was running a 42 inch blade on the front of the dozer blade last year and felt it was too narrow. Maybe 60 inches is too wide...? I want to find another set of 5-12 tires and dual it up if I can't push.

If there's too much snow, I'll switch over to my new-to-me 605 with a 28 inch snowblower. I used the snowblower on my 730 last year with great results. The 605 has a couple advantages over the 730. First, it's spline drive, like the snowblower, so no adapter needed. Second, differential and brakes. I had free-wheel devices on the 730, so it was every bit as maneuverable as the 605, but the free-wheel devices have some limitations I've discussed here before. Third, more speed options. This actually won't be an advantage in snowblowing. I'll be sticking with the same gears I used on the 730.

After this weekend, I'm hoping for snow!

Your tires are backwards on the pusher.

Hi! Your blade is very wide. I think . You are ready for Missing traction. May be with a lot of weights in wheels and good tires chains. May Be.
I am working to adapt a Old TORO two stages front end snowblower for my 107d GRILLO. The front PTO as GRAVELY and all Snowblowers have same side rotation Easy to adapt. BCS have bad side rotation. Thanks and good luck! Oldmech
