Snow Lots of snow to move

[BlackRaptor]

I had to plow 2 farms yesterday with the 2520 is was -33 with windchill the farms where a mile apart and the whole time i was out there i was asking my self why I didn't spend the extra monday to get a 3X20 with a cab.
If it wasn't for mowing in the summer with all the trees around I would trade up to a Cab model. But if this winter is the sign of winters to comes I think i'll be trading up in a year or two.

Perhaps you can get the dealer to throw in a violin and a hanky to go along with the sensory deprivation chamber.

'till then, embrace your pain. It's one of the ways you know that you are conscious.

Another day in paradise!

Take a look at the Curtis Cabs. We have a soft sided on the 2305 up north and I was impressed with it. Ordered a heater for it to help keep the windsheild clear. If the 2320 with the cab would fit in the garage I would have one for winter. Only covered myself once with the blower I got friday. Need hydralics for the rotation and the chute deflector...

I am definately glad I had my cab tractor this morining with all that wind blowing the snow around. I could just barely see a couple feet in front of the tractor. I know I am sorry I am rubbing it in a little but I just cant help myself

We just got another 10" over the weekend - so It's round 2 tomorrow (once it warms up above zero) - YIPPEE!!!!!

Now that's the spirit.

Care for a dip in the pool? All you need is a nice sharp spud and a sense of adventure.

Am I an idiot?

I bought the cab tractor, but I'm still freezing my butt off!

What's wrong with this picture?

Our two storms over the weekend delivered a good 2 feet of snow in single digit cold, and serious wind. I take care of a couple of my neighbor's driveways....... a vid i made last night to try out the new camera.

Today it's 19 degrees with 35 MPH winds. The snow is drifting to about 2'. I love it!!

You guys with cabs don't know what you are missing. In a world of heated and air-conditioned everything, it just feels good to bundle up and do a little battle with the elements. The sting of the wind driven snow on your face makes you feel alive! And a hot cup of coffee afterwords never tasted so good.

I didn't even know you southerns even got any snow,or snow of significance? If you did, you would find the cab to be quite nice.

I have been fighting the elements scuba diving in Barbados for the last few days. That hot sun require liberal use of suntan lotion.

I hope my neighbor back home is taking care of the driveway.

All I know is when I finally do have the money to buy a tractor with a cab I'm going to. I'll do it with no hesitiation and I won't feel bad doing it.

Because by then I'll have paid the piper going on an open tractor in 20 below winds long enough.

I know exactly what I'm missing, it's splattered on the sides of the cab at the end of each snow run.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

we've had -30 to -40 C deg temps here(canadian prairies) for the past couple weeks and i'm certain, if my 3320 didn't have the cab, it wouldn't be getting much use!

Have you seen the 27 pager on the aesthetics of the Kubota loader welds? Folks must be spending a lot of time indoors.

Don't get a cab save wear and tear on your tractor!

Growing up on the farm in high school I used a 4020 with heat housing - never had a little tractor and loader. Post college till last winter I had a 4450 2wd with 7000 hours a heater that sucked. This year nice 6415 and 673 loader and 3520 cab and loader and coffee never tasted so good!!! I know what you mean though - taking a harley on a poker run when it is cloudy and 48 degrees is also invigorating.....mmmmm....haaaarleeeyy....

Hello Killer_B-

I purchased JD 2520 in SEPT 08. I have 6 acres and a large concrete driveway. I purchased a 5' rear blade (still waiting for skid shoes to be delivered) and to be honest, it's just not working that well to clear the drive of snow. Can you please give me the details on your front blade? What brand, how does it angle and an approximate cost of the same? Also, please let me know how you feel the front blade works as I need to find a better solution to my problem. Thanks,

I live in central ny we get an average of 150 to 200'' of snow a year I bought a 54'' front quick hitch blade for my 2305 and just converted it to 72''. however I also have a 47'' quick hitch front blower thats the ultimate solution in my opium for moving snow it only takes 5 minutes to switch over. The only time I use the plow is if the snow is to slushy to blow.The quick hitch blower set up was around 2500 dollars I believe.
