Yep, you busted me. I put those videos up there to help whet the chops of anyone thinking of buying a machine. I can't wait till the day when I can wave at the camera from inside the new cab...someday. Those vids don't really show the steep part of my drive, that's the flatter piece. I can usually blow both uphill and downhill on the steep part unless there's more than about ~6" of snow, then I just blow downhill or half width uphill. It's no big deal, you'll get the hang of it on day one.
I wouldn't mind having a wider blower for corners so I don't have to blow what I've driven over. But again, no big deal.
As for getting all the way down to the pavement, I think the blower does an amazing job at that (pic below). If my pavement were perfectly flat, there wouldn't be anything left at all but frost heaves and stone heaves put the kibosh on that. If I blow in the morning, the sun always melts away anything leftover within an hour or two. When I'm done blowing, I'm usually right down to a skin layer. I'm also quite happy with the 30-50 feet my blower can throw snow. It'll shoot it 30 ft in the air easy. It all depends on moisture content, wind, volume, speed, and so on. Funny, sometimes when I blow down by the road I'll shoot it across the street, up high. Once in a while a car will cruise right through the arch. Nifty.
The 3PH installation should be shown in the owners manual. It's so easy a caveman could do it, and the same goes for using it. Play around with it and if you don't understand it in 15 minutes, better to sell the tractor and hire someone.
The lower link arms ought not need to be installed for the mower but since I have the independent lift, I'm not quite sure how the mower connects with the mechanical lift. I doubt it connects to the 3PH lift arms in any way. I'd have to guess that there is linkage under the tractor that is tied into the 3PH system with the mechanical lift. In my case, the mower attaches to two lifting arms below the tractor (shown hanging low in the pic below, woopsee!). I'm sure these are also somehow used in the mechanical lift to raise/lower the deck.
The BH sub frame will not interfere with the MMM. They really did stuff 10lbs of **** into a 5lb bag with this little machine. Incredible, really.
I've seen that skid plate on eBay. I thought he used to mention what it will/will not interfere with but it's been a while. I've been meaning to try my own idea so I haven't bought it. Plus, it only mounts on one side so if it happens to get bent up, you've got more problems. I'm not all that concerned with nothing since I keep the radar on.
See ya, greasy nipples!:laughing:
