Brothers new John Deere

[grsthegreat]

Nice rig...... I have a loader mounted blower for mine also. I'm getting older myself and after 16 years of driving backwards i said....enough. I have about 600 feet +/- of driveway, 2-60' sides of snow runoff from the horse Barn and now 2-1/2 miles of association roads. Now well have to compair winter notes .:laughing:

 

[groundcover]

Wow, quite a rig ! Guess he could have had someone clear his drive for just over 75 years for that kind of coin !:laughing:

Thanks for all the good wishes guys I'll pass them on to my brother, I can just about see his garage from my living room window all his lights are on he's probably waxing it ;-) unfortunately the weather is not cooperating it's been heavy rain storms so no seat time he's probably driving in circles in the garage Lol. quite the setup on that tractor grsthegreat I'd love to do that myself someday, but trying to sell my rear snowblowers is next to impossible it's one of my biggest regrets nothing beats going forward. How would you say that front mounted loader snowblower handles deep snow? do you have an oil cooler or is the air temperature sufficient in the winter to keep it cool, his tank has a thermometer built on the side i'll try to take some better pictures of it close up so everyone can see it I was quite impressed with its construction. take care

Radium,
If your brother lives close enough you can see his garage I don't think you are going to have any snowblowing problems this year. I don't think he will get his tractor fully warmed up before he is through plowing his driveway. I bet he will want some seat time on your driveway.

 

[RADIUM]

Now that's funny I didn't even think about that ! To tell you the truth I'm just happy that he will no longer need to borrow my tractor to move things now that he's got a loader of his own thank God . Take care

 

[jenkinsph]

I would suspect that is his intentions anyway, with that rig I bet this will be one of his pet projects and give him something to do during the winter. I would be quick to chip in for the fuel too.

Well there is a oil cooler available, but the manufacturer told me not to get it for snow removal. Its only needed if i use the tank to power implements like a loader mounted post hole digger in summertime. Apparently its not needed in the cold of winter. Mine holds 55 gal of hyd oil.

I will find out how it handles this winter. I don't plan on letting the snow get too deep anyways as I'm now plowing the association roads and they need to be done very early AM. I probably wont be working this winter anyways as bad as the economy is, so i hope it snows good HEHE.

I also have a front loader mounted snow blade for lighter snows (less than 6")

So do they even make a front PTO shaft driven model for the 4X20 series?

Sounds like their is a bit of envy betweenst you two brothers. :laughing: Wondering how much harassment he'll give you for having to "dig" you out?

I'm kind of interested on how much he'll charge RADIUM!
Gotta pay for that rig somehow...
