That time of year for snow equipment pics

[Pete1468 888]

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.

Other one is on the 6588 for this year, haven't even started it for snow, probably won't this winter.

Got rid of the blower a few years ago, this works for me.

966 and a model 80.  Had more snow in October than December and January!

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

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

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.

Nothing to show off here yet.  Haven't plowed a flake this year!  No snow yet.

Geeze MTO, you could have shown us the whole 45!

 

Here's mine. 720 Allis with 60" front blade, handy as a pocket on a shirt! Built a new weight box for it this year, helped a ton.

Haven't had to plow snow since mid October here, so no new pics to add. Here's one old one I've posted before anyway

I've got something like that.  It's kind of like a uni-system.  I'm takes a shovel in the winter, towels for washing dishes and a broom when it wants to hit me.

How you like tracks in snow going to look at a big skid with them

I think they are 3.5" axles with 5088 cast centers

They are factory 118" long bar axles at 3.5in wide but I have 5088 wheel castings on it to make it look like a 15.

It does very well.  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.

Was a few of those and the Simplicity versions around here.  Those things are tanks!  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!

This whole thread made me recall many years ago (circa early 40s) on our farm in Dickenson Co, Lake Park, Iowa when dad called to me to "Quick, come look out the window at the snow plow coming past to clear the  road (gravel), that must be the counties's new rotary that I heard they were gonna get".

best, randy

Yep, has down-pressure on the blade! Sometimes I miss the 'float' position, then things get interesting.
