Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Bring On The Snow!!

[botaman2]

This will be my Kubota's 6th. winter,So far she has performed flawlessly.The combination of front and rear blades work well. She can push thru some real deep snow with no problem. The front blade is 6 1/2' Meyer's plow that I added hydraulics to. The rear blade is 7' grader blade on my landscape rake.

Do you use any kind of traction enhancment? I don't see any chains etc.

Morning botaman2.
Nice setup...by the sounds your daring ole man winter to show down..yikes...sooo I'll huff and puff all our snow storms down towards you.

 

[Egon]

Just as long as you don't send it up here Thomas.

Mowed the lawn several days ago.

Nice setup. I noticed in the power angle pic that your front wheels have valve stem protectors. Is that from the factory or did you rig that up. I have often wondered if it makes any difference (other than convenience) if valve stem on outside of wheel is more apt to flats than on inside of wheel.

Mine came like that must be a Kubota feature

Afternoon Egon.
I wouldn't do something like that to you Egon...we can talk,what yer got to offer.

"Mowed"...the Mrs. made comment just this past weekend how much our grass has grown...sure dislike the thoughts of wakening Cubbie up from its long winter nap.

Very capable looking snow fighter, for sure. What's the deepest amount of snow you've pushed with it?

 

[botaman2]

No! I have R4 tires that are loaded, plus the weight of the rake,4wd engaged. With the plow up front,the real deep snow is simply pushed out of the way.

 

[botaman2]

You don't miss much.The valve stem protectors are factory installed,I cannot take credit.

 

[botaman2]

I didn't actually measure any of the storms,but I would guess 1 1/2' to as much as 2'. My property is pretty much open,very prone to drifting.

I bought a second set of wheels for my 2410 from Kubota and had a choice of valve stem protectors or none. Cost difference was $1 per wheel!!
Those with protectors were listed as standard wheels for use with R4 tires and those without were listed for turfs. (Other than that, they were identical and interchangeable.)

 

[botaman2]

Never knew that the valve stem protectors were an optional thing,that being said,I'am glad I have them.

Most of the CUTs I've seen with R4 tires have the valve stem protectors on the wheels. I always figured it was standard for that type of tire/wheel combo.

You may get snow soon enough Botaman2. It started to snow on Sunday and when I left for work this morning I have at least 8" in my lane with a bank at the end from the snow plow. Will get to test the new AGCO and blower for the first time tonight when I get home.
