One Last Snow Pushing Video - B-80 - Timelapse

Recommended Posts

chesbaycruiser

Oops, I did it again!

We got about 6-8 more inches of snow last night so I felt obliged to play around with the video camera once more.  (Hey, we don't get much snow...I can't help myself!)  In what has become the norm, I cleared all five driveways in our cul-de-sac and then most of the street as well, since once the snow is out of the driveways, I have to find a place to put it!  I admit that finding a good place to put the snow while not blocking someone's car, driveway, mailbox or storm drain was challenging, especially since a significant amount of the piles of snow I pushed a week ago are still there! 

In today's installment—which is the last one this year...I promise—I have the camera mounted on the B-80's hood and I shot the video in time-lapse mode, 1 frame every 1/2 second which roughly equates to 4 minutes of video for an hour of video.

BTW, if you don't like Sinatra, you'll probably hate this!   :music-singing:

I know Frank was into trains, bet if he saw this video he would be getting a wheel horse to.

Thanks for the warning Craig!

I've been helping a guy clear snow the last two winters. He does all the truck plow work, I help with shoveling.

Chris, you are having way too much fun, and doing a really nice job at the same time. Well done!

Hey I like that!

 

I have a couple hours of gopro style video and I really like the sped-up style (or at least part of it)! Hopefully I will get to posting that soon. I figure noone wants to watch 2 hours of pushing snow, but your way is a good idea.  :hide:

You know, I wondered after the fact if I should add a warning that if you have issues with the motion, especially in "first person" shooter games, flight simulators, etc, you might want to proceed with caution!

Yeah, about half way through...  :teasing-poke:

I felt the ol' whoopsmybelly kicking in, and had to go.

Neat idea though...just not so much all at once.  :handgestures-thumbsup:

Well I think it sucks that you didn't get all of "Summer Wind" on the video. That was the best song.

In previous years I had wide tires on my C-175 with rubber chains. Those of you that have rubber chains know how

big they are and how well they work. This year I didn't use them. I used Ag tires this year. No chains. No extra weight.

No fluid in the tires. I've had no problem. No slippage of rear tires. The most I have done though is 8 inches. You know

how the plows come through and plow in your driveway? Well, I had no problems clearing that out. The only problem I've

had was the steering. I need to get tri-rib tires.

      96-42BA01 plow. Brand new in box. I assembled to make sure all parts were included. Did have to add a trip spring, spring rod, and index rod. Someone "borrowed" them as it sat in the warehouse for 50 years. Box is a bit rough, but I could reinforce it for transport. I will disassemble it, need workbench space.
      Made for (per manual):
      1974 A800,
      1975 A80
      1976-7 A90 A100
      I believe vertical shaft tractors. Maybe others?
      Thanks for looking
      Matt

      You pick up, as I cannot deliver. 
      Lot's of fun to clear a sidewalk in one pass or driveway in just a few.
       
      I have the manual, belt and attachment parts that go with it but are not pictured. All are in good working order.

      1. Tractor has brand new ag tires all the way around, brand new seat, new points and condenser, new rear blade quick attach bracket, lights have been rewired with LEDs, it has a brand new lift cable and bracket,seat pan is from a 410... it's surface rusted but at least it isn't busted up like the oem plastic one, starts and runs but smokes a bit on startup if it's been sitting for months but she runs smooth and strong.
       
      2. Tiller is like new. It had been used only about once when I bought it and now it has been used 4 times more. Tines still have much of the factory paint on them.
       
      3. 42" mower deck works perfectly, 4. snow blade was/ is rough but I repaired it so it is quite functional,
       
      4. Brand new rear grader blade,
       
      5. Wheel Horse brand plow,
       
      6. Wheel Horse brand disc- I added a piece of motorgrader blade for a drag. I also welded a post to the top to hold weights,
       
      7. Wheel Horse brand cultivator,
       
      8. Home built furrower. (Makes good rows)
       
      The original Wheel Horse plow/disc/cultivator originally came as a modular kit and in order to use it the draw bar and clevis hitch had to be swapped back and forth. (big pain) I fabricated draw bars and hitches onto each piece so this is no longer necessary.
      I think this is a fair asking price at $2200 for all.
