snowblowing with the c-160

Recommended Posts

I finally got to take a video of the snow blower in action. The snow was 18 inches deep before the rain came and now its 5 inches of rock hard icey stuff. After the first pass , it dug in pretty good.I hope the link works , it took forever to upload.

That looked like fun! All I need is a snow blower for mine-oh and some snow. We haven't had much of that around here the past few years.

That really is a cool video.  I have one of the tall chute blowers on my 520xi, but the only view I ever get is from the drivers seat.  It is a much more impressive a view as a spectator.  Thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks.  That horse is really moving it, like it is chewing it up and spitting it out.

Impressive video!  Snow doesn't look crazy deep, but the blower is slinging the snow a long way!

 

I have the short chute single stage snow blower.

 

Anyone know how the long vs the short chute makes a difference in performance?

Very impressive. Reminds me of

Those giant blowers they use at

Airports. Well almost. Lol!

the long chute is supposed to throw snow farther

I had a short chute and then went to a long chute

the long chute does go farther in my case,

but it was about 5 years old when I got it

the short chute was much older and needed work

so I can't say if it was the relative ages of the equipment or the design

Thanks for all the kind comments. This is the first post i ever started and also the first video i ever did . I couldn't have done it without my sons help..these teenagers are pretty smart when it comes to this computer stuff.I must say , the long chute throws about twice as far as my short chute one. One of these days i want to make a video of the c-160 with long chute . the GT-14 with a short chute and the D-200 with its big blower all in line like at the airport...but i will need to find more operators  :roll:.I have never tried the big blower on a D series . My son is refurbishing  the D-200 in our shop for his senior project so it probably won't be ready for this winter.

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      1979 c-101 nice project tractor just needs a few odds and ends, steering wheel, coil, carburetor bowl, the wiring was redone by previous owner....all 4 tires are good and hold air it goes into all gears no problem, transmission fluid has been changed, 10hp Kohler, message me or call or txt with any questions, it does run and runs well,  it’s been kept inside since I’ve had it, I would also trade for a mid mount grader blade thanks

      Will the plow I am using on my C121 and C160 work on a 876?  
      or is the plow frame different?
      Thanks

      Hi All,
       
      I have what I believe is a Commando 800 but would like to confirm model and year.  Tag reads Model # 1 0100 6; Serial # 790336. Have had it for years (bought from original owner) and want to clean it up some.
       
      Thanks!
