mrc 727 #1 Posted January 6, 2018 hi men, after about 4 hours of blowing snow with my 312-8 equipped with a tall chute single stage blower and my C160 equipped with a 48 inch plow i finally had my snow clean up chores done..... or so i thought. my neighbor who is an older gent came over and wanted to borrow some tools. he bought a new carb for his craftsman blower months ago. he waits til we are having a noreaster to change it???...... REALLY! so since both tractors were warmed up off we went to clear his driveway. about one hour later we were done. he was VERY impressed with the capability of our wonderful little red tractors. it amazes me how most folks just do not see the value in these awesome machines. i'm sure glad i have them. stay warm everyone mike in mass. 12 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have had people stop in the road while driving by to watch the big 2 stage throw. With light fluffy snow it can be quite the spectacle. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #7 Posted January 7, 2018 I had a neighbor that would stand on his porch while I was clearing snow from the neighborhood and just smile and shake his head while he gave me a "thumbs up"! He commented to others that he couldn't believe how well "Ken's little tractor pushed snow"! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrc 727 #8 Posted January 7, 2018 hi men, to pfrederi and wallfish: i know you both follow red square. i spent this fall fixing my son-in-laws wh tractors. i posted pics of each tractor some months ago. soooo.... not much time for my stuff. the C160 already had the plow mounted. the 312-8 has a forward swept axle so i figured the heavy front attachment (snowthrower) should go on that. trying to stay warm and hope all of you are too, mike in mass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
