Looks good HEC! What kind of cutting edge do you have on your bucket of the M5700??? I have been looking at putting some sort of pipe over mine for plowing on gravel and grass.

A friend gave me a piece of 2 inch pipe which I slotted with a torch to fit over cutting edge . If you cut it with a torch do it in sections as it will bend other wise ( don't ask me how I know ) . It did straighten out fine though . It works really well on grass and on my gravel drive while things freeze up then I take it off . I put one on my back blade of the 2650 and that works great also .

It is too bad that tire chains that fit the tires are not readily available. Seems to be a "One size" fits all approach.

That is a very nice set up you have (Beenthere), I would like the hyd. angle on the back blade for sure . It is a pain getting in and out when I want to change angles but I can't have everything , very fortunate to have what I do . I have never needed chains in the past 25 years with 4wd and for the 2 good size storms we just had I didn't need them with 2650 either . My driveways are long but pretty flat so that helps for sure .

You may be referring to the post by jgayman #2384 (p239) that I quoted showing his JD 2720 snow weapon.
