Welcome to the club ct. Enjoy your new machine this weekend.....prolly cleaning up downed trees from this storm coming tomorrow.
Time for an update:
I got my tractor just in time for the Nor'easters we got in March. 19" in the first storm, 20" in the 2nd. The 47" snowblower worked great.
Got a few items for it. It came with the 62D mower deck, 47" blower, H130 Loader, and loaded rear tires, plus the 3 bag MCS and power flow. I added the Heavy Hitch, ballast box, suitcase weights, and iMatch quick hitch etc. JD is running a special on the ballast box and quick hitch, 15% off on both.
Instead of filling with concrete, I bought some 4x8x16 solid concrete blocks then added my suitcase weights to it. That gives me about 775-800lbs of ballast.
Cleaned the deck and sharpened the blades. It's going to be awhile before I can use this since the snow won't give up around here. I coated it with EZ Slide graphite paint from TSC. I'll see how it works out. The surface is very slippery, so I'll see if it lasts.

I live further north in Aroostook county so I know all about the snow . That's a great looking outfit you have , I am sure you will get much enjoyment while using it . I didn't know tsc had that paint , I will give it a try on my mower deck also . I have used spray undercoating from Walmart but it wears off quite easily in spots from year to year . Thanks for joining and the great pics .
