2520 attacks white dirt

[tomd999]

Hiya,

Haven't seen any 2520's in the white stuff recently so I figured it was time.

We've had the snowiest Dec in a few years here on the mountain, somewheres about 4 + feet have dropped from the sky. I'm not complaining, seat time is always good.

The green-brown patches you see in the snow mounds aren't bits of my lawn that I tore up with the plow, nope, those right there are my "tiller justification"

Here you go,

Tom

PS Before the ROPS watchers get all in a knot, I took the pictures after I was done working and getting her ready to go in the barn.

Tom thats a great looking setup. I like the plow.
I notest in one of the pics. it looks like the grill is packed with snow.
do you think that would have any effect on cooling?
course from the looks of things it is plenty cold.....

Tom, great pics! Isn't it unfortunate we adults need to pre-empt the safetycrats , who sit behind a keyboard and know by looking at a picture whats best for us?? I was actually given crap for having my dog show up in a few of my pictures....... only a dog abuser would allow their dog to get close to what they're doing (i guess our dogs should all be chained to a tree??). Let me be the first to say...... shame,shame,shame on you for posting a pic with your ROPS folded !!!!

Awsome set-up. I like it ! No problems with snow now...you must be in heaven cause I would with that rig. Ever thought of tire chains? Just mentioning it because I just got a set of v-bar chains and it turned my machine into a totally different beast altogether.

Tomd999, great pictures, wish I had more snow to play in, 2" here 4" there, hopefully in Jan. and Feb. will get more. The ROPS watchers, I guess they will not like my tractor then!

 

[Chris2520]

Holy Crap Newt , where's the ropes. Did you cut them off.....
What was that all about....
Now thats a new one i ant seen.

YIKES !!!!!!! The safety patrol is going to have a freakin field day with you !!!!

I did take the factory ROPS off and built this setup. In the spring I roll alot of yards and tree limbs dont like ROPS. Also folded get in the way hooking the 3pt or drawbar. I had these on my 2210 then put them on this when I traded. I have not been in a situation where I felt I needed them, and I know you dont know when you need them till its to late. This setup works for me so each his own.

Hope you can jump really far...
lets see 1900 tractor. 760 for loader 200 for bucket.
70 for IMatch and 200 for scrap blade.....3070 pounds.
if it rolled. there going to scrap you up with a shovel.....

I am really just playing. but it is something to think about....
we would hate to see any one get hurt. I know you had your resons for doing it. But its still a lot of weight....
