Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[Pete6114]

Bought my F 2690 early summer and had the dealer pickup the machine to install the snow blower, which was returned yesterday. Expected a hand crank to rotate the chute and manual deflector. Man, was i happy to see it's all hydraulic, which wasn't part of the deal. Very happy with my dealer! This is some serious equipent (for me anyways) and looks like snowblowing will be a riot this winter.

I would love to have one of those fantastic 4 wheel drive tractors that you guys enjoy. But unfortunately, it's not in the budget in the foreseeable future.

So I made up this plow rig for my BCS walking behind tractor. I don't know how it's going to work but I'm looking forward to some snow. Check it out.

I'm ready for winter but there is no snow on the ground around here yet. In fact it was warm enough to go for a ride on one of my old Ariel motorcycles yesterday.View attachment 449965

I moved my 3 point blower to the front of the tractor. See video, I hope the video works.

Here is a picture of the front PTO.

Nice looking front blower. Did you fab the front PTO yourself (if so nice job!) or source it? Video works well. Only question - do you have any way to limit loader movement so you don't inadvertently raise it too high? I know unlikely but hate to cause damage. Thinking like a chain or something to warn you/stop it before it stresses or breaks the driveline.

Very nice build.. professional, for sure.

Looking forward to seeing some video of your blowing snow this winter... expect we will get some at some point in time.

Should be a great deal of fun to hit the white stuff and blow it way off yonder.

Hi, Yes, build all the drive shafts added pillow blocks myself, I couldn't see myself twisted in the seat blowing snow, when my box scraper bought my neck,

yes I added chains on both sides to limit the raising and cylinder stops for lowering, raising is accomplished by just tilting for but I can raise the loader arms up a bit. I purchased flow control valves for lowering and will install soon.

Thanks, it was 50 F here today, but we all know the white stuff is coming and will post some pics or a video of it in action. Why I built it way way to maximize my horsepower .
