    Hydrostatic Replacement

    My CK35HST with 80hr's on has to have a complete new Hydrostatic unit installed. Last fall I posted that at slow speeds the tractor would pulsate in forward or reverse, regardless of RMP. This spring is got to be so bad I called the dealer again to have it looked at again. Dealer says they...

    New HLA Snow Plow

    I ran my HLA plow all winter, over 70hr's of plowing. Didn't use, didn't need the bucket at all. Very well build and does the job.

    New pull type blower

    A pull type Blower would be a waste for me, I regularly get 4' - 6' drifts all the time. A pull type Blower would be useless. Even a regular Blower needs help with big drifts.

    Snowblower - Front vs. Rear RPM Question

    I have a 64" Blizzard by RAD Canada. I'm very please with it so far (About 40hr's of snow blowing). I unit is heavy, well build, and can really fire snow. I would definitely recommend Blizzard.

    CK35 Temp Gauge Not Moving

    My CK35 has less than 50 hr's on it, and so far all has been good. Today at 4 deg. F the Temp gauge would not move off of stone cold. Even the Cab heat seemed less than normal. Tractor was plugged in all night, 1200RMP warm up for about 8 minutes, then up to Snow Blower speed about 2300RPM...

    Snow plow or snow pusher

    I've found the plow to be far better than the bucket for snow moving. I have rear remotes and lines running forward for hydraulic angle. I'm not sure about a snow Pusher, I've never used one. I got the plow mostly for clean ups and light snow falls. What I have found is that the plow is far...

    Blizzard 2015 What I Learned about LED Lights

    I know some on here have had issues and or concerns about LED lights icing up when Snow Blowing. I have 4 sets of LED's on my CK and didn't have an icing problem with any of them, not one. Last night in the Blizzard was a great test, It was cold, it was still snowing and the snow was being...

    What size snow bucket - DS4510HS

    Hey Glade, I think you'll be fine with either the 84 or the 78 inch bucket. I'm thinking a load would have to be very heavy and completely on one side to bend the loader frame. Even then I'm not sure it would?? I'm not an engineer, that's just my gut feel from 30 + years of running small...

    JD3039R, 3 New Tractors in 3 weeks

    A friend of mine received his new 3039R less than a month ago. His brand new tractor died right on the spot as the dealer unloaded it. 2nd brand new 3039R delivered a few days later. It too died the other day with only a few hours on it. He's now waiting for delivery of his 3rd brand new...

    How to install 12v fan in my cab

    I used a suction cup mount fan and installed the Cig plug behind the seat on the tool box. Power comes from acces. wire located by the right fender ROP's. Works like a charm.

    Angled snow plow pushing the tractor around?

    This is my first year plowing with the CK35, but I'm very pleased so far. The first snow was about 10 - 12 inch of heavy wet snow. 2nd plow was about 4 inch of wet slush, again no problems. The CK never spun a wheel, never missed a beat, didn't move sideways at ALL. With that said, every...
