Thank you for the no snow, I enjoyed the extra nice winter. How about a rain dance to help us out now?

I doubt any dancing I might do would cause rain -- its usual result is laughter.
Since buying the snow blade with the Power Trac eliminated snow for the winter, the logical conclusion is that I can cause rain by buying a similarly expensive piece of equipment that only works in very dry weather. A perfect choice, of course, would be an irrigation system. That would be a particularly appropriate choice, since our good governor is about to announce that all use of water, except presumably to mix with bourbon, is prohibited.

Yea, some of his new ideas are very scary. Maybe a hydraulic broom to sweep the dust off your driveway?

Re: Power Trac Dreaming

I am a new registered member, but have been following this forum for some time. I have been actively watching all of the power trac posts. I am patiently, actually impatiently, waiting for my chance to own one. You guys have done a terrific job describing the qualities (many) and limitations (few) of the power trac units. Mossroad, great website and thanks for the answers to my questions.

One of the latest pictures shows the rear tires fairly tight to the frame. What is the clearance between the inside to the rear tires and the frame, enough to mount chains. If you were putting on chains, would you put them on the front, back or on all four tires.

thanks again
Duane

MossRoad, all need to know if the clearance between wheel and frame is such that mud and snow starts building up.

Re: Power Trac Rubber Blade Edge

PTRich:
I measured the rubber edge on my snow blade for the 1845. It is 3/4 inch thick tire cord reinforced rubber, 6 inches wide. It is held on by a 2 inch wide 1/4 inch thick strip, centered on the rubber. Holes are spaced about 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the blade, 10 inches or so apart. 3/8 grade 5 bolts are used with nylock nuts. When one edge gets worn, it will be simple to flip the rubber over. This kind of edge certainly saves the asphalt and the blade, but shouldn't cost $200.

Re: Power Trac Rubber Blade Edge

Charlie,
Did this come stock from PT? or did you install? How far from the metal edge does the rubber stick out?

Paul:
Stock from Power Trac, but not a sophisticated design or execution. It is about 1 1/2 inches beyond the steel edge.
