rjg854 12,528 #51 Posted 21 hours ago Are you ready for snow? For the most part, just have to switch tractors around in the barn so the snow equipment is in the front of the others. All we've got is a dusting right now. Temps back in the 40's for the rest of the week with some rain. Mowed the lawn for the last time, Saturday. Never think too much about snow until January. At least that's the way it's been for many, many years. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember right we have wheel weights that are painted red or black or off-white or military green. IHC or JD yellow is a no-go and requires recoloration. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My question is, do you have any concerns/problems running the blower with the electric PTO clutch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is probably the 6th year I've used the 16 Auto for blower duties, and my driveway is 2/10ths of a mile long and the only problem I've had is, I wanted to put a new belt on. Just because the old one was looking worn. It still hangs on the wall in case I might need it. No concerns what so ever. I like to idle the tractor down before engaging the blower tho, then idle it back up depending on conditions. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strapped into a claustrophobic cabin on the end of an arm. Arm starts rotating horizontally and the cabin swings out a bit. Not too bad, I think. Then the arm support lifts so the arm is rotating vertically and the cabin is upside down at the top of the circle. Closest I’ve ever come to upchucking on a ride. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
