Pete1468 901 Posted January 19 Here's a pic of my favorite show movers. They're both expensive and make allot of noise. One I've had for ten years and the other a couple months. My twelve year old daughter likes pushing the buttons on both of them. One will last my lifetime and the other will get traded when it's worn out. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty shackleford 4,221 Posted January 19 Still got to put weatherstripping and put everything on cab amd see if heat fan works, but hurt my foot so couldn't get to it, still better than no cab 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike H 168 Posted January 19 last years picture but still looks the same agreed on the cab,, first year clearing snow without a cab sucked. just finished clearing 24''+ of fresh snow fall this weekend Mike 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TP from Central PA 1,274 Posted January 19 About the only time I don't care for the FAF on the 50's..................Might not hurt, but I don't think 18" of power snow blowing through the FAF is a good thing so I put a tarp over it. Won't have to worry about that on the 2+2. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what everyone told me you don't want the standard C tread tracks for snow cause they're worthless. You can get the style with the treads cut straight across for all styles of undercarriage. I was pushing snow into the ditch and filling it up driving in about 4 foot of fill snow and still pushing. It's 0 out and it's fluffy non packing snow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad gutted a rear end in one during the fall years ago, brakes, seals, etc were all put in it. The owner never used it to plow snow, but had a blade so we took that with it and used it over the winter, had downforce on the blade and with chains and weights on the 3pt man would that thing push!

Yep, has down-pressure on the blade! Sometimes I miss the 'float' position, then things get interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
