I totally agree on some pics and specs.

Just completed my hard piping and fitting to my BX2680 of a rebuilt and converted to hydraulic drive Ariens 48" blower. Driven by rear PTO pump and controlled by wireless key fob and remote receiver on blower with rechargeable battery- Milwaukee M12. Cab is by Kubota/Curtis and my installation.... with extra lights!

From aeblank: That sounds like something that needs a build thread and a lot of pictures....

I think rob needs to send that machine to me in Northern Michigan. Lol Jon

Got this old military surplus ten foot V blade at an auction for a couple hundred bucks CDN. Has JD 640 mount now, but since proof of concept has been successfully completed with flying colors, I will make a SS mount so I can use on both loaders.

Wanted some ultra FAST way of clearing a path to the back of a large property. Kawasaki Mule which is crippled with more than 6" of snow (despite lift kit and larger tires) can now easily get us back there.

Sure would be nice if the snow didn't stick to it though.

On the other side of that door, it started snowing this morning and is supposed to continue until Tuesday for a total of 20 inches or so. Tractor is full of fuel, shop is 65 degrees, I’m planning to start tomorrow morning to at least get the lane clear.
It’s a 96” hydraulic angle SSQA Erskine blade with urethane cutting edge on an L6060 with cab.

Looks to be the blade is rusty colored so no more paint. Try painting it good or my father talks about a graphite paint that makes it slick but I haven't tried it yet

Actually, the blade is painted SILVER. I thought it was aluminum and was a bit disappointed when I found out it was made of Steel. At least rebuilding the frame won't be a welding/material issue.

Funny to have a snow tool that you operate as FAST as possible and then come back slowly in a relaxed manner. Usually, it's the other way around.

I like it.

Have you thought about lining it with puck board. Locally here a 4x8 sheet is around $22 CAD.

Snow finally.
It quit snowing when we got this Gator early January. Knowing that if I put the tires back on and mother nature tendencies..... took about 10 days, but we got snow :thumbsup:
