Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[AJones]

Here's a picture of mine.
I have a power window motor hooked up to rotate the chute from inside the cab.
I picked up a hitch mounted salt spreader but have not had chance to make a mount for it yet.
My drive is about 1000 feet all on a hill.

Re: Pictures of your snow weapons
To get snow, we will have to travel to the mountains (the Alps). These are the only weapons I intend to use with my family.

That's beautiful! Where do you ski in the Alps? With the trees in the background it doesn't look like Val d' isere or three valleys. I've skied in Austria but with the value of the dollar I won't be skiing the Alps anytime soon. I'll have to be happy with the Rocky Mountains.

Not as much snow as we got when I was a kid. Nowadays, anything from 2"-15" per storm.

Hey Roy,
I built my rig based on Northern Maine's design but altered it by moving the plow pivot point back under the Quick Attach plate. By doing that, the plow is 15 inches closer to the tractor. For me, it makes it a much more compact unit. The beauty of this design is that the weight of the FEL arms have no bearing on plowing. The only weight on the ground is the weight of the plow.

My weapon of choice, put my old Ariens GT19 with a 48" blower to shame. No chains, no weight box. Traded the tractor in the spring for a BX25, kept the blower. Adding a linear actuator to the chute deflector, and trying come up with something for the chute rotator. The chute has only plugged twice, happens with warm ground, wet wet lake effect snow, and 10-20 air temp. Yes the guard on the chute was removed by me. At that time there was no seat safety shut off, you could get off the tractor with the snowblower running and adjust the chute deflector. Its not rocket science. Don't stick you hands in the chute or the auger when its running. It's one of life's rules of winter, don't go out on the ice flows on the Great Lakes, don't stick your hand in the chute of a running snow blower and don't buy a used truck that has been plowed..
We average 170" a year.
Thank you,
Mike

Not far from you. Here in Benton. Just posted a video of a dirtbike attempt at crossing the old narrow gauge in the bog.... FAIL.

i plowed my driveway for over 10 years on a jd770 with the bucket. i don't care how much you love your tractor - it's cold out there in january - especially if you have to plow in the middle of the storm. this one is much warmer

Love your truck. Duramax badge I see there on the side??? :thumbsup:

Who is the TBN member with the Kubota and the Arctic plow that's all tricked-out? (I remember it had flashers on the sides and all kinds of neat add-ons)

I just picked up an Arctic 8' skid steer plow for my M-7040. :thumbsup:
I want to put skid shoes on the Q/A mount plate. I think he did the same with his.
