@AMC RULES, always seems to find that perfect "KODAK MOMENT" no matter the weather, huh?

Nice! I see that sears in the back is it an ss12? How does the blower compare to the horse? 

 

Mal Mac I'm jealous of those cabs and the loader! I bet those can move some snow and the cab can keep ya warm lol. We have a Ford 5610 with a loader but not very small or nimble 

The Suburban does a great job up and until you get 10+ inches of snow then you have to slow her real down..... the GT14 with blower is a beast......

This is my main plow tractor. Honestly it's a beast in the snow and also a blast to play in the snow with.

If it does, go to the local gym, grab a couple hundred lbs of weights throw them on the back—and you’re in business!:ychain:

 

I use the same system for weights on the 523 and it works great.:greetings-clappingyellow:

Haha, I actually have two more plates sitting in the garage (I originally bought 4 25 pounders so 100 pounds total) but I'm trying to run as little weight as possible on the hitch mount because I don't want to crack the transmission case even though I modified the draw bar to distribute the weight better.  Tractor did much better this year with 50 lbs on the hitch with chains than it did last year with no chains and 75/100 lbs on the hitch.  So I'm probably just going to recycle those two plates into my workout equipment.

Hi guys,

 

My 312-8 in snow moving garb.  Here in SW Ohio it is rare to need rear wheel weights.  The air-filled AG tires work great for me.

@kto434 you are doing pretty good if you can push snow with no weights or chains. Thanks for sharing pics of your rig—:)looks like you have a comfortable “saddle” on that thing!

Very awesome to see! I know everyone is thinking summer and back to mowing but there definitely is something enjoyable about seeing these ol girls playing in the snow! I definitely enjoy snow blowing in the evening as it gets dark just to run the lights!

Agreed Desko, most of my snow moving gets done after work and with these short winter days its usually dark when I get home so good lighting is a necessity on my sno horses!

Just got this rig put together.  Still a work in progress.  Have a single stage for it too but we've only had 2-4" storms so far.

I use 520H's at the house. A B-100 at the farm. There really has not been much snow at home to speak of in last 3 years. I've plowed twice this year. I haven't needed chains or weights yet. I set up the other 520H 3 years ago. I've still haven't given it a good workout yet.
