Hi Radium

Wow looks great. I am going to give Markdale a deposit today

Did your TC40 have HST????
Did your TC40 have super steer???
Did your 72 CSH have elec or hydro chute?????
Did your 72 CSH have hydro assist on the blower???

10 days, boy i hope you can sleep . i know how that feels.

yes HST
no super steer, can only imagine if you have that it will be even better
yes hydro chute rotation & chute deflection

hydro assist ? do you mean lifting then yes no other way to lift it, weighs 600 lb. .
Their are two parts the snow blower & the frame. The frame pins on the tractor with four pins, you can leave the frame on all the time unless you need allot of clearance the frame also contains the mid pto shaft ,I believe their are attachments power brush & plow that also connect to the frame more toys you can buy . You must take off the loader,but trust me the blower will handle the snow that one picture was over 40 inches no problem 1,400 ft driveway and large barn yard for two years never missed a beat . Besides if you need the loader the blower comes off with one quick leaver and drive shaft . some pics, one shows the frame while i was rocking with the grapple, the other shows snow in yard and finally one of the blower.

Hey radium, That is quite a machine you got just wondering where in NY you are located. Seems like you get alot of snow like me.

Welcome to TBN Yakman. Nice tractor you have there.
I'll ditto the caution about the ice. Leaving your door open would work if you gently pass through the ice and the tractor rolls so the open door is upwards. Otherwise crashing through the ice is as violent as any other accident, just add freezing water. It's not like climbing up the pool ladder if you want to get out. Be careful.

Yes that's exactly what I mean in regards to the lift asset.

I was there yesterday to give them a deposit I finally got to see a firm drawing as to what I was getting. So all is good.

When I brought my tractor there I was informed that I would also need to buy I mid PTO kit. In turn adding to the cost of labor and parts.

So the final price quoted was $10,995.00 CDN

We settled on $10,000.00 CDN all in.

So we are officially done.

In 10 days I am the proud owner of an extremely expensive snow blower.

Can't Wait for the SNOW

That grapple make me wish i had some rocks to deal with. All tho my wife and wallet are glad i dont....

Hi Tig

Thanks for the welcome

It seems that quit a few people are worried about me taking this tractor out on the ice.

I am an experience ice scuba diver instructor with plenty of years of Ice fishing behind my belt.

I will defiantly take all the warnings very seriously.

I will have scuba dive in the ice well before I bring out the tractor so I will have a real good indication as to weather it will be safe or not?

Believe me the last thing I want is to take a swim with my $30,000.00 tractor.

Oh wait make that $40,000.00 with the blower


Thanks again for the warning form all of you

We arent worried about you just the really expensive tractor Thats not true we care about you to, but I have been ice fishing all my life and it only takes that one spot that is a little thinner and down you go. I have seen many large 1 ton trucks go over the ice and they were safe, Then I see some one with a little car go out and theyy are the lucky ones going under. Glad you got the suba stuff but wont that be kind of uncomfortable inside the cab of the tractor with the heat on and all

I did not know you can add the mid PTO after the fact. I assumed you already had it, so that is one expesive snowblower. Hope you get lots and lots of snow to make it worth it.

You guys are starting to make me worry bout going out on the ice.
I sure am glad my wife doesn't read this.

How's this ill stick with the plan of my buddies pick up truck. You can stop worrying about the tractor and this way if something bad does happen it will be his problem...

As for the comfort level not sure what you mean isn't that why the back window opens for. Thought I would just sit down and let the tank hang out the back.

Mid PTO... What's that!

OH I know it's that $2,000.00 black shaft thing underneath my tractor.
(Did I mention that I was new at this!)

At least I know what to look for on my next tractor.
