@Dan in Casselman Thanks for the post, I really appreciate it. I just got my tractor and rear snow blower in October, but due to health issues I haven't had much seat time. However, I still had to be out there yesterday to deal with the Sunday/Monday snow storm we got. Sitting in that open...

@Hilbilly , Yep I have been active on that machining site since 2014. I wondered how many others were "cross pollinated" on the two sites! It's great to see you here, and Thanks for the welcome. Brian

What I would prefer: 1) some good old fashioned cold weather; at least a couple weeks long to kill off the F'ing ticks. It's been the worst year I have ever seen! This was never a problem when I was a kid, and I grew up a couple hours drive South of here. All the animals (including all the...

Yes, unfortunately that's nothing new. With a light-weight steel shed and a green house, we already have a few wimpy structures that we need to clean off after a snow storm. I had always said I'd never buy another, but then I did....... Thanks for the warning! Brian

I find them too useful to just recycle as well. To empty them I: 1) put on a connector/regulator that I cut off an old barbecue grill that had rusted out 2) put it outside, open the valve and let it sit that way for a few weeks 3) unscrew the existing valve from the top of the cylinder. Some...

Thanks for that. Yep I expect the loader to be used for snow. Those look to be very useful to help not dig gravel........ I might even make my own. Thanks again, Brian

Hi All, Despite having a trailer I could haul the tractor on, the eye surgeon didn't clear me to drive until Friday. Saturday I was planning to go and haul it home maybe Tuesday based on best weather. Then the phone rang. The dealer had fixed the inspection issues with their trailer and were...

I was supposed to take delivery of the tractor Wednesday but I had to delay it due to surprise emergency retina surgery. I am now home, on the mend and off work for 2 weeks. I will call and arrange new delivery date hopefully early next week. @houska when I started my tractor search I was...

Yes that certainly is! @ptsg Thank you very much for that! Brian

@jeff9366 Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look! Brian

Hello @check My new Meteor SB72 snow blower is a rear mount and used in reverse, like this: The tractor has two sets of remote hydraulic couplers and the blower will use one for the chute turning. The chute deflector is manual. Perhaps a little awkward having to reverse all the way, but I...

Hi Folks! I just joined because yesterday I bought a ~2016 Branson 3520R, with the BL25R loader and a new Meteor SB72 snow blower. Some background is in my intro post is here: Hello from Almonte, Ontario, Canada! I have found all the basic owners/operators manuals, but would really like to...

Hi Folks! I just joined today because yesterday I bought a ~2016 Branson 3520R, with the BL25R loader and a new Meteor SB72 snow blower. I bought it from Bromley Farm Equipment up in Douglas, Ontario about an hour away. It is not one of their brands, they got it on trade-in. However my nearest...
