Let's See Your Snow Moving Equipment...

What Mikester said.

The "angle" hydraulics of the quick attach frame is disconnected and those hydraulic remotes are use to power the chute angle. It takes me about 5 minutes to switch between the blade and the blower and I work slow.

Upgraded this year... still have my 09 Cub but I added this little guy. Let it snow!

 

[bob_s2]

Wow, I'm finally home ! Due to the snow hitting pretty much whole midwest and heading east, I was stuck on the east coast. Southwest kept cancelling flights. We're supposed to get a couple inches I guess either tonight or tomorrow. Snowblower has seen quite a bit of use already this year. Still need to change the oil and lube everything but it's just too cold outside (5 degrees right now).

Man, I feel kind of wimpy with my 37lb machine:

 

[fflintstone]

Hear is mine. I made the frame work to attach it to the quick attach on the loader. One day when money once again starts shooting out of my A$$ I will add a valve and a cylinder to make the blade pivot hydraulically. (Right now it is a manual pull pin) I also added a foot of blade width so if the wife ever plows she can do the driveway without worrying about sliding into the ditch.

Here's what we use in Florida to move snow -- From the Sno-Cone to the mouth!

We play with big boy toys at work. A full truckload of snow (13yds) in 30 seconds.

And of course the equipment to set it up for the blower.

Ha! Bet you guys remove the brush mower from the tractor in late fall. If you'd have bought a Howse mower you wouldn't have to. Just read the first paragraph.

My Dad setup something like that for his tractor, though he used an 7ft Fisher plow blade. His tractor is a bit smaller I think, 30 or 35hp Kioti 4x4.
Up/down is with the loader arms and angle is with the factory plow hydraulics. Also has a blower off the 3pt hitch as well though it's much faster to use the plow.
Also built a set of fork tines to go on the loader arms as well.

Here's mine, no snow pics, as we haven't had a flake yet this year.

It'll be more than enough for what we get.

 

[Rich1028]

some nice ones in here!!
heres mine 1997 craftsman



used it the first time this season today.

 

[nissan_crawler]

I forgot about this thread. We got a little bit of snow, but barely enough to play with. Boo.

 

[slopdog]

old case 430 home built cab . rebuilt 6 ft mckie blower , 12 volt winch turns the chute

 

[70chevellegsp]

1992 Cub Cadet 1862. Power steering, hydrostatic drive, and hydraulic lift. The blower is 2 stage 45" unit. It takes about 20 minutes to clear my driveway, which is around 150' along with a 30x30 pad at the garages.

 

[Firebrand]

Here in New Hampshire, you are expected to own and operate equipment suited for your property no matter how deep and heavy things get!

Below are my green shovels for dealing with our annual accumulations which can get serious rather quickly. We average over 120" of snow but it ranges and changes from year to year as to when it comes and how it stacks up.

The JD tractors are a lifesaver when it comes to snow management here in Northern New England. The diesel 820 is perfect for pushing and stacking while the little 140 H3 is great for cleaning up little storms and around the front porch. Also is great for the wife and older son to manage when I am out on the road.

The big orange unit is a Tucker 1000 Sno-Cat which is part of our local snowmobile club's arsenal of trail machines. As the Club's Trail Administrator, I manage our assets and run the machine as well. Great fun, comfortable cab and tunes to boot!

When i have a shed to put a snowblower in, i'll have a snowblower. in the meantime, the last time we had a good snowstorm, this was my snow removal tool

 

[mslisaj]

This is what I have fun with. I used the John Deere to shove 3" or less into rows and then take the Arien's and blow the snow in to the next door vacant lot. Now if I have real snow to deal with The Snowblower is the first line of defense and I can blow snow over my neighbors garage with it. Then I use the John Deere to clean up after.

Works for me.......

[santagary]

Our Kubota 3030 with 2 stage 5' snow blower and hay hauler attachment on the rear 3 pt. hitch. We use it to plow into the horses feeding area and then off load the hay.

[TimeWarpF100]

I used a little garden tractor for a few years and it was taking too long so did this up for pushing snow. 8' expanding to 10'.

 

[the bus driver]

My new snow pusher.

 

[mslisaj]

Damn!!! You're serious.
Not too sure I could use it to clear snow as I would be having too much fun with it.

[Old Patriot]

Of course now that I have it we not going to get _any_ snow in STL

P.S. I think everyone required to have car lift somewhere on background

I think you may want to rethink that. Ice, Ice, Ice and more for today!

 

[NASTYZEN]

Vintage Motormaster.Got it 15 years ago for $25,00 bucks minus the motor.Been beating the **** out of it every time with my crushed stone driveway.I'm on engine no.3Good thing I have a fab shop to keep it going!

yah baby-

 

[dlc]

Yamaha 350 Grizzly 4X4 with 48" Warn snow blade.

 

[dlenkewich]

This one isn't mine. But I expressed interest in buying one so the guys over at the local JD dealer let me try one out for a few days. It's an awesome machine but unfortunatley out of the budget, so If I do buy a skid steer here soon, it'll likely be this ones smaller, wheeled brother, the 313.

This is my regular snow pusher:

Actually does really well, but every year the snow just get's to much for it, usually around january, and I need the assistance of a skid-steer.

 

[STINEY]

Mine in action.

Could not find a picture of the wife! But you get the idea.....

What a collection of varied and dynamic equipment! Almost as diverse as the membership and their addresses. Let's see more....

nice

 

[Berg]

nice

coincidence: I bought that one plow in Highlands ranch Colorado... right under your nose $400

schwing!

I see you have a bevy or 40's... ih8mud?

[halltrail]

I have a troybilt snow thrower and I occasionally use a troybilt horse tiller with a plow attachment. It was my grandfathers, built in '76 I think. Although it's not great in deep stuff, it works great when the snow is wet/heavy and under 6". I like using just because it was my grandfathers. Ill have to take a picture.

 

[csargents1546]

When I worked at HD in Colorado, we would use a lpg forklift and a pallet with a bail of cardboard to move the snow.

Big snowstorm coming starting tonight........................
This is what I got to dig out with:

...........................should I be worried?

 

[Bull]

Only if your driveway is larger than a bowl of cereal
