The 25 HP tractor pictured handles the 50" blower very well, but I think in real deep snow anything wider and I'd have to take a partial cut to keep engine rpm up. I suggest somehow mounting mirrors on your tractor. Makes backing less of a pain with regards to twisting around trying to look...

A 330 Bombardier ATV with a Tatou winter track kit. In the fall remove wheels, put on tracks, when spring comes, take off tracks, put wheels back on. Takes about an hour for the changeover each time. More dependable in deep fluffy snow than a snow mobile with regards to hills, stopping & then...

This thread is a spin off from: Urgent, need security help - Page 7 Where I participated in discussion for security help regarding people stealing stuff from remote properties. This thread details what I discussed there. Beginning about 1989 we put up two buildings back in the woods in a very...

I like the scabbard ideas shown here and will make something like that next. I've found it necessary to carry more than one saw, with the scabbard two of them could be made in the same area. My first effort was a box for the saw, but it quickly filled with leaves and twigs as much time is...

I don't like chains on the rear simply because on a compact tractor they give a rougher ride. My snow removal technique is to back up and blow the snow, then go forward with the blade angled to cleanup the spillage the blower leaves and/or windrow up the snow for the next blower pass, and...

Your workmanship looks very professional. I don't see why they are not offered as an option at the dealership. Many people do not realize the need (if we are talking about the same thing). With more than one 3 point attachment, and using the tractor just about everyday, I found myself either...

SC: Thanks for the compliments. You have a very clean and well taken care of tractor. And I must say the picture of that forestry truck does resemble some of the stuff I've come up with to protect the tractor and myself. You mentioned that plastic fan. That too is the first thing that went...

I'm also from the ND Turtle Mountains, and I create and maintain trails, thus far about 2 miles worth about 8 ft wide on our own property. I have a tractor modified for just that work. My first picture is of the tractor, it's currently rigged for snow removal, but for trail work there would be...
