Finally, we got some snow.. albeit not much. It was enough that my neighbor asked that I clear his driveway, and if possible that I push the snow up his sloping driveway rather than leaving a mound at the bottom where it would eventually obscure vision when pulling out.
Boy, was this fun! I didn't use my 4WD at all, and didn't even need the diff lock. I have about 600 lbs hung out back on the 3pt, in the form of a bunch of sand bags in a dirt scoop, and R4's. I thought I might have a problem, but no slippage at all. I'm amazed. While we were at it, we also did some leveling of his driveway.. it had too much center crown, and simply leaving the front blade in float position took this off perfectly. We're both happy! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Say, I had an idea. In another thread I commented on how the dealer (as opposed to factory) installation of my rear work light causes this light to be on even in highway position.. something the manual says shouldn't happen. I thought of wiring in a switch, but then it occured to me that I could simply fashion a cover to slip over the light when on the road. It would be translucent, so that I would have one more colored light on the back to get drivers attention. If I need real rear working light, just pop it off and put it in the toolbox. Anybody got any ideas for how to fashion such a thing. This rear light is bright, and would blind drivers if I just left it as is. I'll bet I can find something to cover it with that really makes it unique and noticeable. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob
