It is almost the middle of January and 58 degrees today so that means it is time to get ready for snow.  :D  I had left the 518xi's cab on over summer so just needed to re-install the doors. The 523Dxi got its cab installed about two weeks ago, and then finally got the snowthrower attached today.

Nope, guess again...

hint, the early 520's had 'em here instead. 

Or, refer to post #55 above.

@AMC RULES and @PeacemakerJack it's a ROPS off a mini excavator I adapted to the 2" receiver hitch.  I only recently started calling it a 'rig' because of how massive it is now, weighs about 1000lbs without the plow. I was going to make a 'tower' to mount the lights on then I remembered I had this thing laying in the scrap pile.  I had a post building the tractor and one of the motor last year, I added some things since the last post guess I should update it.  Thanks for the compliments.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

I have suitcase weights that are put on the tractor that is in use. Actually I have found that the Kenda Terra Trac tires on the 518xi to be the best type of tread for snow with the weight of a 5xi. This area of MD is strange for snow - far different than what I was use to in Illinois.. In eight winters here, four have seen just dustings for the whole season, two what I would consider a normal winter with more than three measurable snowfalls, and then two with 36" blizzards. Chains are hanging on the wall but I leave them off until really needed. Actually the snowthrower hasn't been used for the last two seasons.

Was gonna guess that but thought he maybe had a pedal kit. Where is the lift lever... am I missing it?

 

Nice job on the lighting hookups @aHorseofCourse:handgestures-thumbupright:

 Removing snow in Northwest Florida

 

Woke up one morning back in March on 1993, went outside to get the paper and found 4 inches of the white stuff on the ground. Came back in, put on a big pot of coffee, lock the doors, loaded the guns, and waited for the sun to remove it... it was a rough five hours.

Well maybe one is :rolleyes:. Also the reason we can't drive in the snow and ice is because we never had to B).
