Videos are great!

What is that front qh normaly used for? snow blower?

JB.

The QH can mount the 54" blade, snowblower, or the rotary broom.

Thanks, I don't know, but I've never seen anything like that for my series, 4310.

Though they must have one, cause there is a snow blower option.

Good videos.
How did you mount the camera? on the ROPS? I've been thinking of a way, but haven't tried anything yet.

A buddy of mine just ordered one of these and will let me know how he likes it.

Another alternative is GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports

Based on the specs, features and operating manual, I'm leaning toward the Drift Stealth if I ever bought a mobile camera.

Yup, it's the same but different for your machine.

Your exactly right, just mounted a small tripod to the ROPS (at the fold) and let it run...

Here's a daytime shot of cleaning the snow after 2 days...

I take it from the vibrations you are running rear chains? Rough darn things on a hard surface.

Answering for Joe: He does not have chains, just a shaky camera mount. Believe it or not though it shakes less than why my MIL tries to video something-and she is not on a tractor! You need Dramamine to watch one of her video's!

 

[Joe Szabo]

Thanks for replying Kenny, as always your correct; I do not have chains. And these are fairly new tires too (~40 hours).
I think next time I'll try to dampen the camera shake by using a small towel to act as a vibration insulator (of sorts):laughing:

That is funny, and is how one Daughter-I-L is with a video camera in her hand. Wild ride for sure. Hadn't thought of the Dramamine, but it is a good suggestion. :laughing:

I'm brand new to TBN and I realize this thread is about a year old... but, I'm in the same boat looking for a decent plow to put on my JD 2520. I didn't get much interest from the local Meyer dealers (Northern Virginia/Maryland)... they didn't seem all that interested in selling a plow (or figuring out how to make one work on my tractor). If I knew how to weld, I'd take a stab at duplicating what Kenny built, but I don't and I suspect it would be ugly if I tried. Any ideas? Kenny -- are you in business making copies of what you built for Joe?

Thanks!
Mark

If you want to buy one pre-made you might find a different dealer. Their indifference was kind of surprising since Meyers makes compact tractor plows.Meyer Products: Compact Tractor Plow

Look for a leftover 6 ft or 6.5 ft Meyer TM. I got a good price on my TM brand new last year.

 

[rayclar]

watch craigslist in your area, should be lots of used plows showing up now.

 

[Joe Szabo]

Update - the plow Kenny did up for me works great. I'm also able to use it with a 60 Meteor snow blower too when those heavy wet snows hit us here in MD.

Thanks for the update Joe!
