YM 155D Snow thrower??

[Jtullis13]

Thanks for clearing that up Clemsonfor. That is exactly what I did. Aaron was really nice about it too, helped me with the rim purchase and I was able to get my own truck tires for it. It did save me almost $600 too. So I am happy with it.

Well I almost pulled the trigger on the Woodmax 60" snowblower, but they were on back order.....until the December 6th and would have to wait another 2-3 weeks for delivery.... I decided to check Craigslist one last time before I made the purchase and guess what??? I didn't find exactly what I wanted, but I did find a Farm King 660 (66") 3ph snowblower, and it was only 10 miles from my place!!! How odd is that, or maybe is was meant to be? Who knows, but supposedly is was only used 3 times, and it looks like new too. So I put this thing on my 2210d since it is to big for my 155d, maybe I will find one for my 155d yet. Ended up saving me $1100 and we have been getting snow/rain mixture all day, and might get 8" of snow tonight. I will see how it works in the morning. Only one picture for you guys to see, is has dirt on it from the ride home.

I'll say! It's always a big plus when you save a few dollars but that's big money IMO.. I'm looking out my office window and seeing what I'll be doing this Evening. Leaves!!! Mother nature sure taking Her time this Yr.. Snow in Ga. not an issue but I would love to find a setup for leaves to go behind the Tractor. Brother has a leaf setup behind his craftsman with it's own Eng. and Cart. Stays full when I use it seems like. A couple passes and I'm emptying it. Been at it for yrs. so I just use a blower and keep them off my Yard grass and don't let them accumulate so it only takes a few Min. depending on what the Weather was. I think I use more 2cycle Gas during leaf season than I use Diesel during the Mowing season!! Biggest Blower/Motor I could buy. I chuckle about like Tim the Tool Man when I have to pull start it. It's got the power!!!

So I used it yesterday and it worked well. I will try to get a video or picture of it working on our next snow. Yes big money saved I was pleased!!

I would love to find something for leaves like you describe Carey, especially for my 155, because it would be easy to maneuver around tress ect.

Ok everyone we are suppose to get a boat load of snow starting tomorrow. I posted pictures of my Farm Kind 660 behind my YM2210d but haven't had a good change to use it in a big snow fall, so I am hoping to get some pics or video of it this weekend. Also I did find a Farm King 50" for my Ym155d, it is a little heavy for it but I have a weight I can attach to the front end for now until I fabricate something for it. I am really anxious to see how that 50" one works on my 155d. I think it may be a little big, but I will keep my fingers crossed.

Ok we finally got 8 inches of snow for me to try out the 60" Farm King snow blower on my 155d. It worked really good, I did use the 770 pto speed however to get the snow to really throw and didn't cause any problems. Here are some pics.
