Here we go again. The last 3'' we got I didn't even plow it. Got out the 5000 lb tractor and made consecutive passes until it was all packed down. The next day the sun took care of it.

Decks stay on the 160 and 875 all year long except for the Steam Pageant. Plow will come off of the 857 when yard clean up starts in April, and the plow on the 953 will come off in May 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina's plow is kept handy and she can pop it on the tractor in minutes. We both keep weights and chains on all year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,372 #25533 Posted 5 hours ago I just finished up putting on longer front spindles on the 1257 and greased everything up, along with tie rod adjustment. There was nothing wrong with the original ones, but the longer ones help a bit with the stance since there’s big tires on the back and also helps with clearance. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy all 6 of them for trail rides here and pulling trailers etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, actually I’ve read a few of your posts of the same setup, which helped out a lot, and that’s when I looked for a good set so I ended up with nos ones, very helpful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 24,695 #25537 Posted 2 hours ago I feel like snow season is over for me…so the 867 hauled the summer tires/wheels to the garage and the winter ones back to the basement. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,385 #25538 Posted 2 hours ago I cannot show you, so I just will tell you. I tried to open this on my phone but got such an ad blast that no way I could even post Trying to get ahead so I cleaned the deck down to very tight rust and gave it two coats of cured Ospho. The 416 was the champion starter in the cold so she is getting the mower mounted for now. I might go through the deck collection and put AgriGuard on last year's deck to preserve it . I can order a gallon of it for a hundred dollars and for me I have found nothing better, Now with this cell phone problem I guess it might be time for a VPN . I don't think that AI is gonna make it better. and also now mustie1 is a paywall and Taryl as well. Thanks YouTube i was gonna use the C160 hydro for snow plowing , but it would not turn over with the spark plug in but did so easily with the plug removed. maybe compression release? For anyone who who wonderer if I was still kicking , I am 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw that polar vortex was kicking at you guys again. Luckily I don't think it'll reach us this time. We've already seen 90 degrees several days here in the last 3 weeks. Also had a swing to 20 in the same 12 hour period. Pretty normal spring for us I guess. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
