Finally some seat time.
Lots of learning to do.
I am used to going backwards with a rear blade.
Being warm when plowing rocks!http://youtu.be/dUXwRWmP95w
I am ok with that. I need the practice. I am having a hard time finding the proper settings for the FEL. I seem to have the "curl" too far back. It's to keep the blade from digging into the gravel but that is screwing up the paint on the mounting plate of the blade. The shoes are one spacer from full height. I may need to go the extra one until things freeze. 15cm-20cm is being forecast. -11C last night. That's a big change from Christmas Eve when it was 14C.
I better fill the fuel cans today haha.
Western 7.5' truck blade I welded to a SSQA bracket with chain float. Bought the blade, mount and pump for $400, sold the pump and mount for $250, bought the SSQA plate for $120. So I have a total of $270 into the front blade setup. In back the Frontier RB2308 8' - though I have the "tilt" cylinder removed for snow just offset and angle.
Works awesome! Also have a newer Cub Cadet tracked blower I despise, have owned it a few years and maybe 4 hours total on it.
