What have you done to your Branson today?

Lol.

Mine could use more float in the blade, you may have better luck if you remove the top link and use a chain to limit the drop.

Good luck with her, I have similar unit and it does OK.

Can you show me where the plow frame mounts your plate? In my mod, the plow float was butchered and it is rigidly mounted to the female plate. The two old pivot pins don't permit any pivot and are only supplementally securing the inner-core tubing to the plate.

Mine is a rigid mounted blade and the only float is about an inch to an inch and a half from the slop in the blade it's self which is the problem that I have often.

After thinking about it, I believe I went to a top link because the blade always wanted to float up. The Meyers is heavy and maybe my loader arms were to low due to lack of actual practice with it. When we get snow here are it is typically a freezing/compactable sleet/slush under powder, if/when we get it. Rarely is the snow straight powder where the weight of the blade would be enough unless the shoes were removed. I did think of shortening it another 6 to 8 inches and losing the tilt feature (less work), or even more by relocating the swing cylinders but I thought it was to much work. Anyway, I'll let everyone know how it works.

In preparation for the possibility of snow, I connected the hoses for the plow L&R swing. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...

Well, now you won't get any.

I put the rear tire chains on the other day in preparation for the the weather guessers storm that may come through. Didn't bother with the fronts yet. So two tractors chained up, two more to go on of these days.

We've had several days of high winds in a row. It took the scant little bit of snow we had and filled in our driveway in a nice drift. First time I've used the tractor in probably 3 months now. Cleared it with the blower and the bucket in just a few minutes. Figured I had to do something, since Mrs. Slim had to use 4x4 to get out of the driveway this morning.

I went out and looked at the snow plow I have connected. We got a couple + inches of snow, but the ground wasn't frozen at the time. Now the driveway is frozen but the snow is gone.

A couple of hours in my 8050 today plowing snow;
