Snow Kubota at work in the snow w/new chains

[Northland]

I got my new chains on my B7800 last night...made a big difference in traction!

We have another 12" coming today and tonight

Nice setup...rear sneaker w/chains those snow banks don't stand chance now.

We haven't had snow like that for a month now - all our snow seems to have gone out east. I now have time to help plow out neighbors, and we don't have any snow for me to move. I'm jealous.

BTW, get that ROPS up and wear your seatbelt - we want you to be able to keep posting those cool pics.

Please consider carrying the load in your bucket near ground level until you're ready to raise and dump onto a pile. It's very easy for the material in your bucket to fall back toward the operator when carrired up high as seen in your first photo.

Hey Marko, nice setup. I don't doubt those chains are a big help. All you need now is a warm cab . Work safe. Like bandit says, we want to see more cool pics.

yes guys- I know I should have the ROPS up and my seatbelt on. I had just put the chains on and had taken the ROPS down (to get in the my garage) when my wife came home so I had her take the pictures. I should have had a higher garge door put in when I had my garage built last spring since I have hit it three tmes with the ROPS so far. Then again I didn't have a tractor at the time so I didnt know about the height problem

I only had the bucket up high to show my collegues how high the bucket goes. I don't drive around like that. Not ony is it dangerous but too time consuming to get the bucket up/down.

I found the chains allow me the traction to push the snow banks down and back- something I couldn't do with the bare R4's

You bet! It's only -8C here so it feels like summer given the cold we had the previous few weeks

Nice pics Northland. The temperature was around +1C (38F) this morning at 9am. Temperatures like that are quite hot compared to -25C (-13F), -38C (-36F) with the wind factor.

The weatherman talked about 2" for tomorrow and another 12" for next monday.

BTW, what's the weight of your back blade? I had one 2 years ago but it wasn't heavy enough to work efficiently.

Great photos Northland!

Here are a couple of photos of my BX23 taken a few minutes ago. The chains really do help provide unbelievable traction under severe winter conditions, and especially on those icy slopes around my home.

Presently, I am pulling a 48” Agro-Trend reversed snowblower. The inverted blowers are not always easy to find, but they are a lot easier and more pleasant to operate than the common 3 point units that propel snow in back-up mode.

It's 6 feet long and 280 lbs. I find that it is very good in the float mode.
