My GF 1800 lifts my mower with no problem. The snowblower that I just got weighs around 200 lbs . It will lift it but barely and the engine has to be rev'd up. Then I recently bought a B2160 front blade. It's pretty well built . Could not find out how much it actually weighs after searching...

So I just bought a GF5225 snowblower with a female quick hitch attached. I have no male quick hitch yet. The TG2742 was used on this mower using a subframe that bolted onto the blower. Will the subframe work on the GF5225 or is the frame of the blower not the same size. The subframe is...

So last year I bought a used Puma 720 made by Pronovost that operates at 540 rpm like all the rest. It blows the snow OK but I have to have my rpm's full throttle. I went to the Pronovost site and see they sell an excelerator kit that would increase the blower to 740 rpm's. This would allow me...

Over the winter I broke the eye off of one of the quick attach holders. I went to jdparts and was surprised at how reasonable the cost was to replace it. Then I picked it up and was disgusted. I can't believe they want me to put this on my nice 4410 tractor. Looks like somebody just cobbled...

Would I be giving up a lot of quality by buying a 6' 2004 Puma (made by Pronovost) used lightly for $1300 or a P620 Provonost used maybe twice for $2800. Is there a lot of differences in the 2 knowing that they are made by the same company. BTW the Puma weighs 430 lbs while the Pronovost...

Is there a way to find out how far a blower can throw snow. I once had a Kubota on a GF1800 lawnmower that threw it 30'. My JD front mount 359 on my 4410 isn't even close. Now as I shop for a rear blower I want one that will throw it a decent distance. Does a 4 blade throw further then a 3...

I have a front mounted snow/grader blade that is 66" wide and 18" high. JD want $1500 for a 7' blade that is still low. The mounting hardware is very heavy and I'm thinking of mounting a bigger blade, maybe even poly on it. Figure maybe check out the truck snow blades that are available. I...

Does anyone have any pics of this spreader with the deflector plates installed. I have the 1200S but I need to speed it up in order for sand to properly slide down the hopper. Because it will now throw the sand too far I need to install these deflector plates to reduce the coverage. Just...

I just spent $300 on chains for my tractor. They were at the widest setting with the valve stems on the outside. These chains are pretty beffy and they will not fit without hitting the fender . There is also linkage underneath that it will interfere with. I did reasearch before I bought...

I just bought a JD4410 with Power Reverse. I am new to these transmissions so I was wondering if the performance on mine is normal. I have the transmission in neutral and the forward/reverse lever in neutral as well. I depress the clutch , select the range (A, B, or C) , find a gear between...

I have been shopping tractors and finally found the one . Unfortunately it has no mid pto . The John Deere parts website says the kit (LVB25291) is no longer available. This is very upsetting since I had all kind of plans to mount a front snowblower. Can anyone direct me to where I "might" be...

Can I install a PTO mid mount kit on my JD3720.

Last year I basically ruined the gear box on my blower. This is the one that is mounted right in the intake and where the augers are driven from. The pto shaft comes out of the fan to this gear box. I had all the correct shear pins in place but when I took this box apart I found no oil and...

I know there's always lots of opinions on what the best way to get rid of that white stuff is. Here's my problem. I have a 20 HP JD 750 with a 7' rear blade on the back. I have a 359 snow blower on the front. My road which I plow (about 1 mile long) has lots of loose gravel and rocks in the...

Will a JD 359 fit a 755? I have a guy who wants to buy a front snowblower for his 755. What is the difference between a 359 and a 59" snowblower. Serial number for the 359 starts with MO359 while the 59" starts with MO275. Any ideas. If you have a 755 what snowblower do you have. Thanks for...
