TIGman 2,006 #1 Posted January 26, 2020 Last weekend we received some snow in my area of Michigan on the order of 5"- 6". I gave the 1054 a break and used the 753 for plowing duties. Added some 55 lb wheel weights & chains plus my 250+ seat ballast, what a Little Tank..... hardly no stopping it. The only problem was some guys from work saw me plowing and said I looked like a Gorilla driving that little tractor. lol 5 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 58,797 #2 Posted January 26, 2020 Looks good! I recall how light the front end was when I had a Predator engine on Putt Putt in the very early days. How does that front end stay planted with the lack of a cast iron block? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have some front wheel weights I received in a tractor deal, might put them on, if needed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,526 #5 Posted January 26, 2020 Don‘t say anything about the gorilla thing, 😂 but the Plowrig looks good. it depends also on Snow consistency ( dry or wet) how good your rig performs. Maybe a simple 1“ pipe in the front is a good thing for that issue. if needed you are able quick to balast it with barbell discs as much as needed. simply and effective. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,287 #6 Posted January 26, 2020 I added 4 of these cast iron pipe flanges under a 656 I had with an aluminum Honda 5hp. Helped keep the wheelies in check and improved the steering 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCW 1,174 #9 Posted January 26, 2020 Better being a gorilla than shoveling five or six inches of snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
