Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[grnspot110]

I'm going old school this year, 1953 40S that I picked up 2-1/2 weeks ago w/Ford blade I got a week later:

Had to build a mounting bracket for the blade & set up a cable lift from the 3-pt:

Nice work!

Snow edge did a purty good job, first time using it... Seems like it pushed the heavy wet stuff a lot easier than just the bucket

ive installed rear powerpack and hoses to the front of my tractor, but im holding off on chains right now. its been a dry winter so far.

This is my just completed snow rig; 78" Meyer I got for $50 on eB*y 5 years ago and finally got around to media blasting, painting and using some ideas from TBN to mount in the bucket; finished it yesterday; first 8" wet snow today; worked well; if I'm happy with it, I'll add power angle pistons and a remote next year.

I have a similar setup. I like the angle iron across the edge of the bucket. Anxious to hear how it works for you.

Re: Pumpin' Slush

Just finished my plow set up - pick of a brand new (2003 vintage) Curtis 72 inch manual blade off of Craigslist (sat in a barn and was never used) - purchased new hydraulic cylinders and cross over relief valve.

I was concern the 72 inch was too big for the B2920 but I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Initially I was concern about the weight but with the Box Blade the entire set up seems to be very stable (Curtis weighs the blade in at 485 lbs). At a 30 degree angle it provides a nice clearance on each side on the small B. Overall I am ecstatic on the set up - no more looking backwards with a rear blade. Now let it snow!

Nice, Jam, do you put chains on in the winter?

I have never needed it before - even when we got hit 2 years ago with 44 inches in one fall - I am however concern that pushing a 6 foot blade forward is going to be a lot tougher than reverse with a 5 foot.

From what I have read as long as I elevate the front blade just enough to have most of the weight on the front wheels I should be fine. Going to do the trial and error thing first - especially after I priced chains - Yikes!

problem with my experience plowing from front, when you angle the blade, it pushes the tractor in opposite direction. i had to use chains.
