YM 155D Snow thrower??

I am not to worried about it lifting the front, I do have some weights for the front if I need to put them on there, more concerned about PTO HP with such a heavy duty blower, not the size or weight of it. And really concerned about the slope of drive. I hope the blower will float up and down to compensate for the difference in the angle of the drive, if that makes sense? Think of a long rolling hill except in a drive way and not as steep as a rolling hill. You get the picture right?

Yes sir. I've used chains for the lift links instead of a solid link like they have. Seemed to help with the "floating" ability for right and left up and down independently

Ahh that is what I was wondering.. Thanks for the response and advice, I will look into doing that.

It works well for that application. Not so much for anything else. Lol. I used lifting eyes for the chain connection

Thanks Chevy, I am going to get some chain ect this weekend, then decide if I am going with a 48" blower for my 155d or get a 60" and use it with my 2210d with a FEL. I could just go with the 48" and use it on both tractors, but the 2210d will overlap 5" or so on each side of it if I do that. I guess I should have explained a little more earlier about my situation which would help my dilemma. My folks are turning 80 in a month and live 20 minutes from me. I have been clearing there drive for many years and the rear blade has been great but as I get older I wanted something easier for myself. So instead of transporting my 2210d back and forth I decided to leave it at their place for the winter and going to keep the 155d at my place, figuring I would transport the 155d because it would be easier because of its size. But with the way my mind works I started to think maybe I should just get a 60" for the 2210d and leave it there and use a blade at my place since I have half the drive they do. So that has been my dilemma.. I know its weird right, I am just trying to find the best solution for both places and cant justify 2 blowers due to the price.

I'd say you got it figured out.

 

[Jtullis13]

Well I always think I have it figured out.... Inevitably I find something to justify something I don't need LOL

 

[chevy791979]

The struggle is real my friend. Lol

Yeah I might have to hit you up for some information in your manuals at some time. Hmm 500 miles one way.... LOL. I looked on Hoye and didn't see that T'd cap. I was also wondering what other tractors wheels would fit this tractor. I am sure if I research I can found out. I am wanting another set to put turf tires on it.

I found out the other day that Hoyes sells tire tire kits. You might want to check that out.

He did, that's where he got the rims, but he didn't want to spend $1500 on the kit so he made up his own, using their rims, since rims for these are hard to come by.
