jimkemp 525 #1 Posted January 21, 2019 Well here in western New York we got about 16" of snow , I finally got to try out the C81 tractor I picked up in the fall , no chains just wheel weights and my fat but in the seat and it did awesome , nothing better than plowing with a small hp motor 7 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey the Monkey 697 #3 Posted January 21, 2019 looks like fun! what do you like about plowing with small hp WH? i would think a larger motor with more weight would have better steering. Also 1 of these days im going to come buy a muffler from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,928 #5 Posted January 21, 2019 Best thing about the small motor is fuel mileage. I put about 3 hrs on my 857 and still have fuel in the tank. My 1276 with the same size tank wouldn't last an hr. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also 1 of these days im going to come buy a muffler from you. Its just cool to see a little 8 hp motor with an 8 speed push snow with no problem , I have always plowed with a C120 and I'm giving that tractor a break this year and in the spring I want to tare it down and go through the whole tractor , the C120 has been a great work horse for the last 10 years and I think its time to freshen her up , if you want a muffler stop by and get one , now that Christmas is over I have really slowed down on building those because I have 4 custom mini bike frames I need to have done before spring gets here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
