Snow Let's see your snow removal equipment

[TUG HILL ADDICT]

I concur with the heated cab, but it only takes me about 30 minutes of actual time in the cab, so I bypassed a radio, or other sound system.

I always feel sorry for those hardy souls who bundle up to attack the wind and snow, especially the snow, blowing your face.

The sound system was more for those multi-hour mowing jobs

I have wondered if the cab windows get covered with wind driven snow or fog up on the inside thus restricting visibility? I realize there is a heater in there but how well does it keep the view clear?

I have wipers on the front and back and a heated rear glass, but I didn't really need the rear heater and wipers so I didn't use them. I would get a little condensation on the front lower glass, but eventually it would go away. I definitely needed the front wiper .

With all of that glass I thought I might have a problem, but I didn't have any problem.

With my old rig, below with the plastic windows, the heat from the cab would melt the snow and I would get a little dripping inside and I had to constantly get out and wipe the front plastic off as the snow stuck.

Just finished putting the new blade on my "Little Bota".Didn't like the flimsy manual levers,so I powered 'er up like the stuff you big boys use.Works great!

Beautiful Work. I wouldn't have even noticed the custom work if I hadn't just seen a stock setup at the dealer the other day.

I've got 100 hours on this tractor. About 50 lawn mowing, 20 bush hogging, 20 snow blowing, and 10 box blading. I like to take care of my stuff!

Craig, it looks like you have the same mount for the chute rotation rod as I do (clamped on to the hydraulic control lever). Do you have a problem turning the chute? I moved from a BX2200 to BX2660 and the dealer made modifications to use my blower/quick hitch on the new tractor. When I tried the setup in the garage (not under fire yet) I found the hydraulic control lever rocks back and forth as I turn the handle and the rod flexes forcing me to use 2 hands to rotate the chute (my left hand stabilizing the rod/control lever and my right hand turning the handle to rotate the chute.) Even using 2 hands I feel like I'm putting unnecessary stress on the hydraulic control lever. I'd be interested in any feedback you can give me on your setup. Thanks.

Just blow the snow the same direction of the prevailing wind and the windshield stays clean...wipers and a heated back window help...heat vents are set up to blow right and the windshield and side glass

This worked quite well last yr. 3203 JD, 5' Meteor blower, weatherbreak, and 4 wheeler tire chains for front.

My Curtis 6' plow with a third function valve kit to run the hydraulic angle. I have a 130' driveway and a 1/2 mile road to keep clear. We get 150" - 200" of snow annually

Just curious why so much weight on the blower? Does it ride up on packed snow or something? Nice looking rig none the less.
