    First time plowing with SSQA plow, float mode just digs into the driveway

    I intalled a sched 80 pipe across the edge of my plow blade. I didnt slice it like most do, I just drilled and welded posts through the pipe and attach it to where the skid shoes pin in. That way its easy to remove when I want to scrape the path down more. I've been using this setup for 7...

    HC4140 HST 3rd (high) gear issue Anyone have the same issue?

    Hi guys, I've had the 4140 for about 2 years now but never had the need to use the high gear (3rd) on my HST unit. I went to go help a friend about 1/2 mile away and got out on the open road (flat), put the tractor into high gear (for transport mode) and tried to drive it. It would barely go...

    Adding Basebord Heat Loop in Garage?? Any thoughts??

    Hi all, I know this may sound weird or stupid, but I just have to ask. I live in Maine and it gets cold in the winter. I have an attached 28'X28' single 22' door well insulated garage attached to my house. I had a tech come and clean my furnace last year, and he asked me if I had ever thought...

    LS XR4140HC heater vent knocking noise

    Hi all, I'm just checking to see if others are having a knocking sound from the ceiling of your cab when the tractor starts or switching the vents blower selection.

    snow blower use questions

    This is my first Winter with my tractor LS 4140HC. I have a 7'6" Diamond plow blade on the front and a 76" Dettson blower on the rear. In the past I've always had "yard trucks" that were not legal to use on public roads because of rust issues. I care for my own private road that is gravel...

    Plow size

    I use a 7'6" Diamond unit with my Titan 3PT QA on my LS XR4140 unit. Its more than capable. If I had the option again, use the same size plow.
