I think your posts are great ! I am a new 1860 owner myself, but I don't have the collection of attachments you do, ( yet)!
Thanks for your service to our country!!!

billsh96,
Just saw your profile. Awesome looking tractor you have and welcome to TBN. You have the one attachment I wish I could afford (front end snowblower). In case you haven't read through some previous threads, we here at TBN love the pics. Hoping you can share some with us showing your tractor in action !!! We love the pics !!!

billsh96,
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice !

NewToy,
You look like you have similar weather where billsh96 resides. What do you use for snow removal ops ? My next attachment is going to be a poly salt & and seed spreader. I'm told to go with a poly drum as opposed to the soon to rust metal versions.

Willl,
You're right. Not appropriate for TBN. Was just having a little fun from an ole cadence call and meant no harm. Won't happen again. Just curious though, what's wrong with showing off a little bit from time to time ? I'm extremely proud of my accomplishments aren't you proud of yours ?

Read this thread early this morning, you and Willl had me LOL:D so much I spilled my coffee.

Sometimes things happen that just put it all in perspective.

Kinda like watching Forrest Gump.:p:D:D

MT, Believe it or not I clear the drive with a 6' landscape rake. My 500' + of drive is limestone and the rake at an angle removes most of the snow and kicks up enough stone to give the 4WD Cherokee a chance to get out. I have tried using a back blade and it takes off way too much stone and leaves a smooth surface. The drive is quite steep so I always back up until I lose traction then start raking on the way down. I gain a few feet each time until I'm getting all the way to the top. Going up forward is OK until you lose traction and either have to back down or try to turn around. Believe me, neither is very fun. Also, I know Bill96 gets alot more snow than we do down here. I'm due south of Cleveland about 110 miles on I77. We are out of the major snow belt, except for last year when we got pounded. Our snow fall can usually be measured with a ruler, Bill needs a yardstick.:eek:
There was a very interesting thread discussing the rake for snow removal a year or two ago. There are a few more rake advocates out there.

dirt ditch,
I couldn't agree more and believe me I am playing the role of Forrest Gump (I can't help it). All these experienced riders and educated riders make me learn more and more each and every day. They see things or have a different opinion of things that make me realize that my thoughts ain't exactly the perfect training of thought. My training of thought is good but others come to the same conclusion without the trials and tribulations I have suffered. Kind of like watching my three sons wrestling at the HS level. I've watched them make the same mistakes I made back when I was in HS wrestling in the early 80's and wish I could "transform" me into their bodies and defeat their opponent with what I know today but as I watch them compete I know I have to suffer through their ordeal and watch them lose the match as they accept defeat with class and humbleness. It's gut-wrenching to a parent. Just glad I made you laugh with my conversation to Willl... Still waiting for his reply by the way.

NewToy,
Please, please, please explain this rake approach. That attachment is a whole lot cheaper than a snow blower or a spring loaded plow. I'm running out of money quick but would still like a way to keep our driveway and street clear of snow.

Johndeere3720,
This is what I call the $150 toolbox and I'm not kidding. The steel toolbox itself was $12 from Orcshland's but when the chrome shop mafia guys finished sanding, scraping, chroming and polishing the darn thing it cost me a $138 more. Funny how they always give you a "ball-park" figure but when it's all said and done you've paid a whole lot more than what you planned for. Don't get me wrong, this is the look I wanted, just a little ticked off as to how some people do business ! Just glad to finally get "back in the saddle" and get some seat time. More to follow later.

MissouriThunder out here !

Neat post MissouriThunder!

I want to see more of your future endeavours vs military equipment. How 'bout a cage match against a Stealth bomber. Or maybe a tug of war vs a submarine?

Cool exhaust, I'm surprised it does not add some "rumble".
