Ken, I have an '86 416-8 with a rebuilt K341-s and an '88 310-8. While the 310-8 is a rugged machine the 416-8 is a beast. I put a two stage sno-thrower on it inthe winter. The two stage has a very heavy duty Spring that you preload as part of the installation. And there is another lift assist spring taht comes with it. I find it easier to lift the 380 pound two stage, on the 416, than my 42" dozer blade on my 310. Regardless of manual or hydro lift, you will need wheel weights and extra weight onthe rear to offset the weight of the two stage in the raised position.

It looks like the PO took good care of it, good luck. Joe in Norton,MA

I had the blades, weights and chains on it the other day. Today I put the deck on it. I added a new seat to!

Nah, I'll probably keep it, I gotta have something here with some nut other than an Economy. I had three Economy's last week, I'm now down to my one keeper. I have always liked the 4 series tractors.

As the saying goes, the fun is in the hunt! And good job bringing the snow... I should've tried the mower deck trick!

[Ken B 3,189]

I got home today and had to do the old switcheroo. Took about 5 minutes total to get the deck off and put the blade, weights and chains on. She pushes snow real nice.

No video this time, the batteries were dead for the camera.

[Ken B 3,189]

I added a little bling today, I bought a rusty set of hub caps today that cleaned up real nicely and added a new seat. I took the blade, weights and chains off today so get ready guys, the snow is coming!

It was only a matter of time! :ychain: :ychain:

[Ken B 3,189]

Hopefully I'll be able to try the 416-8 out at my Dads place this weekend. I'm hoping the grass is high, dry and thick!

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,541]

Looking good... you may have to put that on the trailer tomorrow when you come up to see me.... we may have to do some horse trading....

or... you can use it up here on the ponderosa as the grass needs cutting !!

[Ken B 3,189]

Sweet tractor Ken!

It's like when you see one of those fancy chocolates in a candy shop that looks so good but to pretty to eat, but the temptation to eat it is stronger than the desire to look at it. What do you do?

So you can say that tractor looks good enough to eat? I'm just saying! :bow-blue:
