Feels like normal, 28 degrees! Does a plow from a B,C series also fit a D series? It does look that way?  I found a D series, in Augusta, with a 20hp kohler opposed twin! @ebinmaine

D series has its own frame , axle bracket, and angle lever.

Here is a video i just did on how the D series snow plow gets hooked up.

Just put a new chain and belt on the blower.  Just got the tractor in October and cant wait to use it. I am restoring the 48inch mower deck as we speak!

Are missing a piece or did you remove it from the ejection chute?

I’m pretty sure I have those pieces. I’ll look in the morning. The way it’s show in my pic is the way it was when I got it

In my experiences it will throw the snow farther with the "mid" extension in place... But you may like it as is for your own circumstances.

You were right. I had the extensions.  When I got the machine the guy gave them to me and said he had no idea what they were for and I never thought twice about it. my grandpa has the older short chute model so it looked right to me except the newer chute design... I thought I had some weird newer style chute that was made before they extended them. Lol🤷‍♂️

 

 

Just installed it.  

 

 

 

what’s the pros and cons of the long chute?

The pros- father show throwing distance but can be adjusted by the very top , all the way down/forward shorter distance then all the back/up farthest.  The biggest con IMO is if and when it clogs you have more wet/semi frozen snow to bust through and out of the taller chute... Also you have the front solid deflector which greatly increases its effectiveness and again IMO that tall single will do I everything my 2stage does except really wet/slushy snow and hard pack like DOT plow banks I had one 18 years before I got the 2stage and it chewed through several 2 footers with ease.

I don‘t need the snow, except on one Saturday, to test my Rig and play a little with it...😎

Got a very little bit here this morning. Not enough to be fun but just enough to be annoying.
