Snow fighting equipment Ready for Duty!

[Lane Ranger 11,681]

Kelley's photos beat me to the punch this am.

I am ready for the onslaught this am also.

Put the snow blade and chains on the B-80 after removing the mower deck and performing the annual maintenance items on the deck.

Also have the Lawn Ranger snow thrower (6-3211 I bought from Steve "Rollerman" Jones a couple of weeks ago) ready for action!

1975 B-80 ready to go:

1967 L-157 Lawn Ranger and STR-324 snow thrower:

Good to see it on your Lawn Ranger Lane.

Looks good & hope you have fun with it.

I'll be putting mine back on my Lawn Ranger soon.

One thing I'll recommend if you haven't already done so is to build a simple weight bracket for the rear hitch.

Even with chains & a driver on a Lawn Ranger there isn't a lot of weight on back when the blower is up.

Nice units. I found my L-107 is better a plowing than she is a snowblowing. She really can't go slow enough to avoid choking on the blower, especially on the first pass when you are taking a full bite.

She runs better cold than any of the Kohlers so she plows a spot outside the shop that that her bigger brothers can sit in while they warm up :notworthy:

Nice set up Lane...does that ranger handle the blower OK...I know it is the blower for that horse...just wondering how it works. Kelly out did himself, but I know you will get snow.

Hey...post a vidio when you get to use it. Enjoyed your movies. :thumbs:

Steve that blower I sold Lane actually came from Elgin, IL.

Came with an ebay Lawn Ranger I picked up there a few winters back.

Stephen...can I say "Holy Cow"...they seem to be around me, but I have never seen them. The first horses I ever saw, that were not my dad"s, was at the show in Charlott last August. Worked construction for the phone company for 35 years

in north eastern Ill. Guess I should have paid more attention to my surroundings,

I guess I need to get out more. I was ready to move to Indiana.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

I still need to get those chains on right on that Lawn Ranger! I think I picked up the wrong box of chains.

I will make sure to have a video made of the snowthrower working this winter. I have a long concrete driveway. It will be worth the entertainment valuse if nothing else.

Always have the B-80 for back up but I am looking forward to a foot of snow!

Nice Horse! I had a Lawn Ranger about 10 yrs ago and that little tractor would plow its heart out!

[VinsRJ 723]

The Ranger is right-on!

Looks great.
