Yeh cool man, I'm new to loaders too, it was just me and my trusty garden tractor up until a few months ago.
Yessir, that's what I was thinking too, although it would be a bit of a pain to slip shims in there while trying to mount the blade. I didn't see that gap when I mounted the blade, only noticed the bottom side of the bucket when I flipped it to let it drain when I parked the tractor.Gene,
You could just put an 1/8” shim in that space to to adapt the device to your bucket and avoid dimpling.
Here's a vid I made. I guess I had the bucket set at closer to a 45 deg angle.
I'd be afraid that working my new tractor HARD like plowing snow might dull the paint.
What do you do to protect from that & it getting cold?
...I think some loss of steering is really the drawback to the snow blade. because that ridge is constantly loading up with snow, it's forcing some snow buildup under the bucket, hence raising the front enough to loose some steering control. There's no loss of traction in the back tires, I'm not spinning out in back, hence adding ballast to the back won't help that. Adding ballast to front might, but I don't need it personally, I'm not worried about it. I gotta perfect my technique, but so far I notice a quick way to recover steering is to pop outta float and raise the bucket a little.
Again with the cylinders. Guys, I already addressed the cylinders thing several times on this thread. So just wondering, are you disagreeing with my theory (which is fine, I'd be glad to hear the opposing opinion), or are just responding to the opening post on this thread? If it's you just responding to the first post, why not read the whole thread eh?
