Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

Looks like the front blower is engine powered.

Assuming that is another snowblower on the three point arms, do you use both, one forward and the other backwards? If so do you leave both PTO's engaged all the time?

Snowfall amounts in the lower peninsula are also down. Stay warm. Jon

The front blower is a Bercomac powered by a 27 hp. Kohler. When I blow coming and going I leave the PTO engaged. Yes it warmed up today got up to 5.

We usually receive about 120” per season. We’ve had maybe 24” this season.

Those snow numbers are really hard to imagine for most of us. Looking at your pictures, it dawned on me that you really have no choice other than blowing do you? I'm guessing that you may have some settling or melting during the season, but still, after about 60-80" there is no more "pushing back" the banks without ridiculous machinery.
I can't explain how sad I am for you guys, can't imagine getting by with 100" by early February. :thumbsup::laughing:
Thanks for the pics.

Got that right. Central Ohio gets an average of 22” per year (I looked it up). Just north up by Lake Erie they get over 100” and further up into Michigan (upper peninsula) they see even more.

I would deff have a cabbed tractor clearing that much snow, especially running a snow blower.

That would suck to shovel your roofs off as well as the driveway.

Pushed back my banks today, tried to make a video but the GoPro fogged up when using it in the 8ｰ F temp. Shows how it works for "shelfing" the snow banks. One or 2 passes makes room for moving more snow the next storm accumulation.

I've admired your wing for years! I believe it's one of (if not 1st place) the best builds ever here on TBN.:thumbsup:

I have this blade in the barn, it痴 got a rubber cutting edge, I値l deff have it mounted on the FEL before next winter and I値l zip threw the snow. This is my first year using a bucket, it tends to scratch concrete and dig in the yard if I知 not paying attention, don稚 like that result. But got the snow cleared. This is 3rd time clearing snow this year, average is 3-4 times a year.

This is the blade I am using- ran through 14" for 700 feet or so ok.

Well, here's a photo of a Worksaver snowplow in its second year of service. We get about ten plowable storms a winter here in southern New Hampshire. On my second outing in December, so about the 12th time the plow was used, the skid shoe fractured. Worksaver was no help at all, but the dealer (Chappell Tractor in Brentwood) was kind enough to weld it for me. There wasn't another storm until just the other day, when the pin securing the lefthand hydraulic arm snapped. Again, Worksaver pointed out that when "pushing" snow, the pin was liable to fracture if the plow hit "something hard." Amazing!

They offered me to sell me a new pin for $13. The welding of course would be up to me. My recommendation: don't ever buy Worksaver implements. My previous tractor, a Japanese-built International Harvester, save good service for 43 years, and the snowplow, though bent here and there, was still going strong when Chappell brought my new tractor and plow and hauled the old one away.
