Hardtop 21 #26 Posted December 11, 2016 Question for the snow pushers..... What gear do you guys push snow in? For most of today I've been using hi/1. Don't want to put any unnecessary strain on the horse. Lo/3 seems slow as the snow ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,895 #27 Posted December 11, 2016 Mine are all hydro so no help there. Faster will likely work better so long as you do not hit anything. I tend to go slow using the loader so I don't break things. Snow is just lightly starting here now, supposed to snow through the night. Should make the drive to work tomorrow morning quite exciting. I will get to clear the driveway in the dark after work ( drawback to 12 hf shifts). Cleat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BESTDOGEVER 215 #28 Posted December 11, 2016 There are no limits to it that 12 horse kohler will do anything you ask it to. The snow blowers come up pretty regularly around Flint and mid Michigan. There is one ad around midland or thereabouts that seems to have them all the time enjoy your new horse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen the one on midland. Looks nice and the price isn't bad. Woulda been a lot easier to pull the trigger on $125 tho. Concidering I've got a pretty big toro 2 stage in the shed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gracie's Dad 155 #30 Posted December 12, 2016 Hardtop, welcome...as far as snowblower goes be patient, like bestdogever said, they come up for sale all the time. I got mine in Flushing at a garage sale for $25 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardtop 21 #31 Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks Gracie's Dad. 25 bucks??? That's a deal! I'm sure one will come up. Like I said it's not a need at this point. I've got a toro 926hd that eats snow like it's nothing but man is there a lot less work involved when your sitting on a tractor. On top of that I'm surrounded by widows and elderly people that I can't in good conscious let do thier own driveways so for every snow I've got at least 5 driveways that I do on top of my own which is about a 1/16 of a mile in total......sigh....one day I tell ya ....one day! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff lary 171 #32 Posted December 12, 2016 Hardtop I used mine without a snow cab for about 10 years/ winters before I bought one. I think it cost me $600.00 maybe? cannot remember really. I will tell you this it makes a w-o-r-l-d of difference. When the wind gusts to 25mph while your on a tractor without a cab it really sucks. However if you have a cab...... life is much better. So if I could give you some valuable advice start looking for a cab as well. Cause if you will be on the blower for more than a 1/2 hour you will not regret the investment. Now like I said earlier I need to be on the look out for a WH that I can dedicate to just summer mowing and I will be all set. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardtop 21 #34 Posted December 31, 2016 Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. I spent a little time over the break repairing the mowerdeck for my 312. Both right side mounts were bad. Jeees a few pics. As soon as I can figure out how to post the rest of the pics I will. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeff lary 171 #36 Posted December 31, 2016 just make another post and put a few more pictures in that one. I am sure there is some sort of size limit per post maybe that is the reason you cannot post all that you want to. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
