Wi Ih 906 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Been looking for a good clean one for a long time and got lucky and it popped up on an auction in my own town. Probably paid too much at $1650 but I didn’t have to travel anywhere. My dad bought one new when I was a kid and my brother still has it on the farm yet, always wanted one. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iowaboy1965 2,528 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks pretty good. Glad you found something you wanted. I would like to have one as well, but can't justify it right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgehammer 7,894 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Always nice to find something like that you’ve wanted a long time. Good score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jass1660 2,079 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 And with any luck you won’t hardly use it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Butch-Ky 43 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks Good Some one took good care of it. That Truck beside it would look good in my drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IH Forever 413 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks like it hasn't been used much. I found 1 too a couple years ago in similar shape after looking a long time. I hope I don't have to use it this year! 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TP from Central PA 3,170 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I put our New Idea on last year early..............Never moved it all winter. Got it out, on, and the tractor ready for this year a few weeks ago hoping for the same................Forecast doesn't look as good for this winter coming up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Neubauer 128 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've got one that hasn't been used in several, blowers are awesome tools under certain conditions and it seems like we don't get those types of snow anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jingles1928 722 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 How much HP to run it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisNY 860 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Nice one! I have one as well but have not used it in a few years. Truck and V plow move it all. The blower is there in the shop ready to go if needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nepoweshiekfarmalls 2,161 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I mount mine up every winter, so I never have to use it! I usually mount it on the 1486. If I can remove all the extra hydraulic lines (in the way of the 3 point) off the Hydro 100, I would mount it on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exSW 1,955 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If it works well it's a bargain. My neighbor got over 3k$ for a Woods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billonthefarm 929 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Good blower. I haven’t hooked mine up yet. I will wait for a impending snowfall of some significance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
INTERNATIONAL 1466 1,628 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Best insurance there is for us snow haters. Dad bought mine new in 1980. Used it once last winter and hope not at all this year. Put it on the 5288 and drive it in the shed. If, heaven forbid we need it back right out blowing. That price was good for one of that condition. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
660 driver 830 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We have a farm king. Looked for IH blowers before we bought. Our farm king goes on our 966 turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
