Wishin4a416 2,185 #2 Posted March 21, 2015 The plow got lots of use. I didn't use the blower. 5 inches was the most we got at one time with about a foot on the ground at any one time. Very cold here but not a lot of snow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6.0 powerstroke 62 #3 Posted March 21, 2015 Lots of seat time, seemed like 2-3 storms a week last month. Everything held up good despite the bitter cold. Glad to see the snow piles melting, I was running out of room to push! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
312Hydro 473 #4 Posted March 21, 2015 I used the blower and plow this year. Had 2 horses ready to go. Single stage on the 520h with a C series cab. Cramped but it worked. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #5 Posted March 21, 2015 A little accumulation came down again last night... just some nuisance snow, maybe only two inches total. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,328 #6 Posted March 21, 2015 Did not use the tractor with the blower but only for about 5 min. mostly just plowed. had a few drifts to relocate. Had some good snows but nothing to say it was a busy winter. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #11 Posted March 21, 2015 I used my 520Lxi with single stage blower a little bit at the cottage last weekend. The snow was too deep at about a foot and a half and it was too wet to make any real progress. The depth of the snow was above the blower and the shoot clogged up a few time so I gave up. The weight box on the back made a huge improvement in traction. I paid $45 for the weight box. I was lucky to even find one. When I get a chance I will try my 2 stage on my 520H. If that does not work I will try my D-160 with a plow. If that does not work I will try my C-81 with a loader but wet snow will stick to the bucket. If that does not work I will wait for it to melt assuming we ever get a spring or summer this year. Dry snow blows best. Wet snow like we have during spring not so good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,629 #12 Posted March 21, 2015 I took "SALT n PEPPERS" advice and pushed it real good. Yesterdays 5" wet heavy snow was perfect for the plow. Sorry about the green Yammy. but it does have a red WH blade. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #18 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) The most fun seat time-wise was using the C-105. I got a flat tire plowing one snowfall so it finished the season with the spare set of 23x10.50-12 turfs on the rear. Too wide for the 42" blade though! I never did put chains on this season. Poncho only got used one time, to try his new decals. Because of the amount of snow we had this year I didn't even get to use the Gravely snow cannons. Either a small amount for Hopalong with a plow, or enough for the snowthrower on Paladin, the Dxi. Edited March 22, 2015 by shallowwatersailor 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,848 #19 Posted March 21, 2015 Because of the amount of snow we had this year I didn't even get to use the Gravely snow cannons. Good thing I didn't have one. I don't think the neighbors would have appreciated me blowing snow up onto their roofs! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P3130974.JPG P3130975.JPG P3130976.JPG Jack: You should not have an issue with that set-up. The 518xi and single stage chewed through exactly what you described with ease. I did need to take smaller bites when it was in the 12 to 14" range, but it handled the stuff just fine..... One thing I keep mentioning is SNO-JET.... Coat it good and it's just like water being sprayed on a freshly waxed car. Rolls right off! Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
