My MF1532 with a New Holland 7 ft snow plow installed, works great. I also added ice cleats chains on the front tires and a 5 ft box scraper for cleaning up. Air pressurhttp://www.tractorbynet.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/8766e dropped 30/20 psi.

You are dedicated. I am going to go out early tomorrow morning, try to get it in one shot. Still snowing and blowing here too. Another 1-2 inches expected. I think we have at least as much as we had the Monday after Christmas. Always hard to tell in the dark and with the drifting.
By the way, I did finally notice my Frontier blower does have a weep hole at the bottom of the impeller housing. My blower leans back a little when it's down on the floor and the weep hole is to the front. That's why I had a puddle there.

I just went out and we have another 2 inches and still coming down. So, that makes 9 inches total here in central Maine.
CTF...Thanks. I like the picture too but, pictures don't reflect accumulation very well.
Dave...Glad to hear you found the hole.:thumbsup: And now this...We had talked about snow coming up through the punched holes in the blower......actually, it isn't. The build up of snow that I am getting at the base of the chute is coming from the hinge of the deflector. I tend to run the deflector with the rod fully extended which shoots the snow sideways. The snow is "backing out" right at the hinge. I figured that out in a picture.
Tonight I just did a parking area and a straight shot out the drive for in the morning. Tomorrow I'll clean up real good AND I'll do my neighbors driveway for $35.
So, there is seat time on the horizon. And, some pocket change towards a $77 lift ticket at Sugarloaf for Saturday, provided the darn thing doesn't fall to the ground.!!:confused2:
My buddy said today we may have another storm coming early next week. Hope so.:thumbsup:

We were supposed to get a couple of inches today we are up to 12" and its still coming down. I have plowed already now sitting by the fire.
How does the 7 ft snow blade work out? Looks like a nice set up.

:thumbsup: on the pic JDG. Unfortunately my wife doesn't know how to operate the digital camera so I'm not able to post a similar Frontier SB1164 action pic from yesterday's 5". Have you figured out an easy way to clean the packed snow out of the blower after use? I've been using a broom (both ends) which isn't very effective.
As you can imagine, not a big need for snow plows in Georgia. With the recent snow this week (we got a little over 6"). I had to find a way out of my hilly driveway. I had to work with what I had on hand so grabbed a piece of OSB that I had in the basement. I cut a couple of slits toward the bottom so that my ratchet straps wouldn't rub on the asphalt and went to work. I think I'll get some "real" plywood and screw a couple of 1x4's on the edge and make something more permanent.
It worked much better than I thought it would. This is the first time I have ever snowplowed and I did my 750 ft driveway in about 30 - 45 minutes. It's not perfect, but now I can get my truck out and get to the store to get more bread and milk. :laughing:
