Too early to be thinking about snow?

[JJZ 109]

I was thought maybe it was too early to be thinking about snow. But the other day I had to move my snow blower to get 3 tons of wood pellets inside, so I guess the season will be upon us sooner than we'd like. :thumbdown:

I just ordered a snow bucket and tire chains for my B2620 the other day.I didn't want to wait until the last minute in case there would be a problem getting the items.

Very nice job and design, Nice welding too. I'll bet you can't wait to try that baby out.

Just rec'd a new snow blade for my B-2620. Can't wait to enjoy the hydro angle feature I was getting tired of jumping off to pull a pin and change the angle of the blade. Probably means that we won't have much snow.

Nice set up. Nice big blade. Mine is a 54" blade, but if I could ever find a beat up 60" for cheap, I upgrade it. Maybe put up a video of how you mount or dismount it when you get a chance. Only question I'd have on your set up is that you won't have down pressure for scraping, but that may not be an issue if the blade is heavy enough.

Very very nice job. I am curious to hear how well the tractor will handle the plow, specs show it is near 1600 lbs.
Is that sand or crushed glass you are using for the blaster? Have you used both and if so which do you like better?

I just finished up installing a Boss plow on mine but obviously haven't tried it yet. I have a bad feeling about the handling of the machine with an 8 ft. straight blade full of snow.

Thanks, Fred

I seriously can't wait to get out in the snow with this new set up!

Sandyc I know the pain of jumping off to pull a pin to change angle. Having hydraulic angle will be a huge time saver!

Thanks CHDinCT! This is a 60" blade and I think it fits my BX perfect. Down pressure shouldn't be a problem this set up has a good amount of weight to it. But I guess time will tell. Ill get a video up next time I'm out at my shop with some extra time.

The Fred: thanks! It handles my 60" read blade fine so I hope this will work better being a bigger mild board and such. This project was sand but I've used glass too. I used to work for a commercial glass company and we would throw all our old glass into a shipping container and take a plate compactor to it, then put it through a hammer mill. Came out perfect for blasting. I don't really have a preference unless I'm getting the glass for free .

Took a few better pictures today after I mowed around the shop yesterday.
