No offence, just making an observation.

I too meant no offence by my comment.

$9.99 shovel from a local hardware store. Lightweight steel reinforced plastic blade and an ergonomically designed composite handle. It's pretty slick.

It cleared the 18 inches of snow that fell last night.

What are Clarence's impeller mods? I need to improve the throw on my old John Deere 8/32.

Single best mod I did on my machine. I can even move slush now. I put them on all the snowblowers at my last job, too.

Go to Tractor Supply and get a foot of bailer belt. Cut and bolt it to the impeller to close the gap between the impeller and the shell.

Thanks. Clarence's is based in my town!

 

[carcajou]

Quite common up here to have something like this around. This one is mine. No need to use it this year yet.

My 1992 Daihatsu Hijet - push button 4wd with high and low range. Usually plow snow in 2nd low or 1st high if its light stuff. I got this 5' "county plow" from my dad that had it mounted on an old Tercel SR5 4wd wagon. With weight in the back there isn't too much I haven't pushed here in Winterpeg, Manitoba.

[36truck]

Here's my snow plow. JCB 212SU loader. Also have a 10' hydro turn plow to put on the front with a quick coupler.

 

[Rescue Wagon]

Anyone have any luck with a dually for a plow truck? It's almost 2 miles to paved roads from my house and a blower or tractor could take a bit to clear a path.

Here she is:

 

[saceone]

If it's just going forward why not? Buy a skid of crushed Stone bags and leave it on the bed for weight?

 

[MN4x4]

Here's mine - just needs a snow blower that I can't afford!

 

[CNGsaves]

My snow removal rig. 48" snow plow & 50" snow cannon.

Nice older Gravely !!

What vintage and model ?? Also, what's under hood for power ??

Nice to have 4WD . . is that switchable from RWD to 4WD ?? How has it worked out for you??

 

[Notgrownup]

Damn I don't miss that white stuff....I have been to Canada twice this year in the winter time and it reinforced that feeling...Here I can usually sweep the snow away with a corn broom...I did buy a aluminum scoop shovel last year....now that's some funny **** there ,

 

[Tuscani2718]

Here's my toy, a slight bit of overkill for two driveways I could probably shovel, but the truck and plow were to good a deal to pass up. Lol

 

[JimNut]

Nothing anywhere near as impressive as some of the machines in here but it gets the job done for me. It's a John Deere 318. I installed a transmission out of a 420 to gain the differential lock and 2 speed gear box. The tractor is fully hydraulic and works pretty damn good. Just need to add a few hundred pounds of more weight off the back and it will be pretty unstoppable for what it is.

 

[G-Ram]

I have a 7 foot winch operated plow. very heavy compared to winch operated plows on the market these days.. Had it on a 98 chevy last year





It worked ok, only ran on 7 cylinders, no first gear... bought this as a replacement, haven't gotten to use it yet this year though, it's a 1990

 

[rshadd]

Ariens 824

 

[Cameo]

For garden tractor mountedsnowblowers,are they belt driven?
I'd like to modify one to out to the front of my quad and drive it with a 8-12 hp engine.

Anyone done this yet?

 

[Miss_Sissy]

Mine looks like this:

Mine looks like this:

Mine also but I had it for 4 years now and only used it once maybe twice....back was hurting way before the shovel came along. Lmao

 

[Outlander]

I gave up this year at home and got a contractor. I have my Ariens snowblower for clean up duties. Need to bring it to the lake now and them to make place for trailer etc.

 

[ABADWILLYS]

1978 Chevy K30 Wrecker, didnt always look this bad, ive owned it for 26 years, was my tow truck when i had my business, not roadworthy anymore, just use it to plow,it has never failed me..

I wouldn't be embarrassed...It works and it's yours.

Mine, too. Collapsed L5-S1 disc. I just buy lots of food in the winter. That way, I can stay inside until the snow melts.

Here she is:

That should work fine.

Put some serious weight on the flat bed, get a set of chains for the rear tires, and a wide blade (9').

 

[dirtyjerzy]

This was 2013, will be here again soon.

[jimmybread]

Just got this. Just need a seat. It came with a tiller, the cab, and a cart too.

Here she is:

Yes sir i do, been using it to clear my drive way for the last 6 years(dirt drive). My truck is a early '99 ford f350 superduty crewcab with the 7.3 diesel and the auto trans. I still have the pickup box on mine.
You can get away with an 8' blade but a 9' would be better. I run 235/85/16E all seasons on the front and 235/85/16E mud tires on the rear. I have never had to add weight to the back end to get the job done- side note i do have an evil duty rear bumper that is about 250lbs. With the 1978 western 8'blade on and me in the truck, im at 8350 for weight which is plenty with 4x4 and limited slips in both ends.
I live in the country and in the winter these are the type of roads i drive it for the most part.
