Looking to buy a front snow plow for my 5740. Should I go with a 7 or 8 foot plow? I have a heavy 7 foot blade for the back and also a set of chains for the front and back. What would be a good brand of plow to buy.
Thank you. Oh man a cab is nice especially with the winter we're having this year. Yes your right. The tractor always look clean because it is. It's only used for snow clearing. Summer time its parked and it don't usually see the light of day unless I use it for a small job around the door. I have forks for it but don't really need them because we have a forklift so snow is the reason I have it.Wild fire, in just can't get over how sexy your tractor looks. Younare the reason I want a cab. Just looking at pictures raised the question, does your tractor sit indoors or outside? It always looks like it rolled off the show room floor but I haven't seen it inside.
Just my .02, I plow with a 6 1/2 foot plow with no problems. I assume with your tractor weighing double mine, you can push a 8 footer all day long. Weight and traction are key. I believe these tractors have enough power to move small mountains.
I wouldn't be with out my blade. It's fast and super efficient. My blade also got a poly skin on it so snow can't stick to it. Check out my videos and you'll see how well it works.Question:
How well do angle blades work for removing snow with a tractor? On a truck they work fantastic because you can get some speed which really throws the snow but on a tractor I would think you are moving much slower in most instances. I use a rear blade but have to run in high range to get the snow to slide sideways with enough force to keep the blade clean. I am sure a front snow blade has less friction than my rear blade which probably makes a big difference with forward speed required.
You got good woods.This is a 1972 Meyer that I found out in the woods one day last summer
