This is mine.

Suddenly, I'm feeling a little inadequate. That's a monster:thumbsup:

Does this count?? John Deere 770D, 235hp, 40,000lb, 12ft V-Plow, 14ft moldboard with 10ft wing. It's my "fun" job and great stress relief!! :thumbsup:

Yup and people on plowsite.com tell me and say road graders cannot be used to plow parking lots roads and cul de sacs; Every time I see a road grader plowing a road or a parking lot I just laugh at their ideas when they tell me that.

I just remind them that horse drawn road graders were used to make roads and plow snow and laugh at them because they think they know it all.

No your not inadequate, you have a snow blower!!

 

[leonz]

Up here I usually just plow it into the ditch across the road ... any left overs on the driveway are packed down by the truck ... get the odd complaint when family visits in citymobiles but no probs for me and the wife =)

Meant to add:
How do you guys find the PTO blowers, they bog down like the self propelled ones when getting into a full chute ?

You can kill any snow blower whether its a P.T.O. unit or a belt driven motorised unit.

The key is slow and steady and using a creeeper speed when you have slush with a small 2 stage unit.


Using one of clarences impeller kits also clears the impeller drum quickly and reduces clogging to near zero even with wet snows

The best $30 USD for a two stage of any size

Here's a picture of a completed project. With the wing on I can move it back a long ways. These pictures are the same road as the one included earlier before I started opening it.

I'm very blessed with great machinery!!! This machine will push snow at 14 mph and plow thru drifts six foot deep easily.

Richard just wondering if you put snow fences up! Winds must come across that area rather nicely!

If I can find this thread later I will give you action shots. Just bought this and I am waiting for the snow.

Nice!! Is it wrong that I'm thinking of buying more land just to justify bigger equipment?
BTW, the strobes are just class. Nice set up you have there!

I figure what ever excuse you use to get a bigger tractor is good so long as you end up with the bigger tractor The strobes have been a nice addition on my machine. If it adds an element of safety it's worth the effort. Tractors can't get out of the way fast in a emergency situation so others being able to see you early is very important. Thanks for your post.

The videos were very nicely done and the camera was well placed.

I would suggest that you invest in some HID ligths for the front and rear as you appear to have a lot of shadows. The HID lights will eliminate them for you. You can never have enough lighting for evening/night work.

The rear camera is a godsend for sure. I have a Cab Cam that I am installing in my truck because it has so many blind spots.


I am not trying to spend your money honest :thumbsup:

Actually the lights are very bright. I did consider LED lights but the price was over the top. Do you have a link for the HID's? Your going to really like the Cab Cam. I have one in the tractor and one in the truck. Now you planted the seed I'm interested in those lights :laughing: Thanks for the post :thumbsup:

 

[leonz]

I will provide it shortly to you here.


I always worry about the shadows around the bucket and loader arms- Too many years underground with HID light and sensitive eyeballs


Man you are going to love these beasts as they have a lot of before and after photos for thier installations-you

will love the picture of the Volvo grader compared to the stock lights for it.
