5 Speed, that pic makes me shiver.

Yesssssss! Hydraulic drive?

If you were asking me, Yes. I have a power pack on the back. The PTO turns a hydraulic pump.
The joy stick for the chute control..

Thankfully, years of ski bumming have left me well equipped in the wardrobe department. :laughing:

Snowmobile helmet is what I use to combat wind. No snow coating because I don't have a snowblower.
Just a blade, so no major amount of cleanup of equipment or my clothes when finished.

It was expensive but well worth it.

At one time i was going to add a loader mounted post hole digger run off of the powerpack, but anded up not doing it. I ended up finishing the fences with the old 3 point digger. Since i didnt use my hydraulic unit in summer, i ended up not adding oil cooler. The 10F weather keeps oil cool enough. I really am so glad i purchased the front blower. It has worked out so well for the past 9 years.

You've had that 4300 for a lot of years! I've been a member TBN since 2001...I've seen your attached picture (and your videos) many, many times!!
My 4400 with reverser transmission (open station) was my best tractor...the current 4052R may be one day...once I get some hours on it.
If we lived in a more temperate climate (Vermont winters are cold!!), I'd probably have kept it

I would move that cooler to the top of the reservoir. It's to easy to damage where it is.

I don't remember if I posted this before, I built it 3 years ago. It'll pull or push, most of the time I have it pushing. Where I need to back up against garage doors I'll turn it to pull so I can get close.

I can move snow with the front or back and hardly move an inch without one end or the other moving snow.

Nice setup for big snow. Do you use your quick attach carrier for any other implements?
