It's not an orange tractor but you may still enjoy it. Last Friday night we got 5-1/2" of snow. It was loose and fluffy. The snow banks were getting pretty high and the sides were steepish, making it hard to get loose snow up and over. So I just piled the new snow up against the banks forming a...

Thanks for the info ! - Wow, I didn't realize what new tractors looked like from the operators seat. A real eye opener for me. Thanks again. gg

Very nice. Neaty and simple !! So am I understanding your set-up ..... Two levers, one each for top and tilt on the two top rear remotes. The third rear remote (Bottom, but not connected in pic) lever has 4 buttons to control the four summit electric valves ??? Maybe a pic if you get the...

When I was working and people would start looking for the end of winter in the middle of February I would just smile to my self. We would snow shoe, ski, and ice fish into April. So there is a lot of winter left and some of the best weather. gg

We have 2 feet of snow on the ground here. I have been plowing with my truck so far all winter. But today I headed out with the tractor. I needed to make more room in a couple places that I stack snow with the truck plow like this square turn. It was all hard packed. Before - After -...

I have a 6' blade for my 5000 lb (with loaded tires and FEL) 30 hp L3010 which seems about the right size for dirt work. It is a LandPride RBT1572. There are an extra set of holes either side of the two sets of center mounting holes so the blade can be offset. A bit of a pain to do but it works...

There aren't many things worse than an ice storm if you have an emergency situation arrive, Like most in the NE we have enough snow now. 16" in this last storm. gg gg

Nothing wrong with that (y) You probably don't need to clear snow to often. gg

You are right ! I used to run a 5' plow on my Sportsman 500 and put chains all around. I could go anywhere as long as I didn't bottom out. gg

Skidoo suits work good for your body. I never tried one of those fog free helmets but have heard they are good, gg

I was thinking first priority was to get it off the road so that it was not blocking it in case some one else came along and could not stop. gg

You left it across the road on a slippery hill long enough to take a pic ??? Glad you are OK. I find R1's terrible on hard slippery surfaces. Yes - get some chains. EDIT- maybe that was too harsh. You must have know the road well enough to do that . Sorry. gg

We had about 3" of dry snow on top of our hard ice. I just tread on it instead of plowing hoping to get it to stick. gg
