My other Red tractor

Wish I had some snow to move, but I don't want to move closer to the North Pole !

 

Let me add " as soon as I get my 520H back in service"

Seem it works pretty fairly well, also on Slushy (Wet) Snow...

 

Ok about the Cabin i prefer a hard Windscreen but that‘s my personal taste.

Cool Gadgets for the Tracta.

The best is, you have the snow immediately far away instead of Plow...

I have to Thinkering about that.

Hard cab/windscreen for my tractor is a permanent fixture and like $3000+, this was $500 easy on and off now.

I might have miscalculated the moisture content of this snow a bit, even though it did good, the slush at the end of the drive from the DOT clogged the chute a couple times, didn't help the ground wasn't frozen and the soft clay soil was getting picked up along with grass either, definitely needed the rear blade for traction and ballast weight. Cab kept me dry and fairly warm has vents at the top of both sides keeps the fumes and fogging to a minimum. Here is the evidence.

So other than the chute clogging a couple times,it did OK?Mine has only plugged a couple times in the 4 years that I've owned it.I find that when I get into the real slushy stuff,I have to slow down to a crawl.Plus I always keep the engine RPM's up pretty high when using the blower.I think that as you use it and experiment a little,you'll learn the little tricks to tune right in for effecient snow removal.

My tractor is gear drive, for most of the time I was in Lo range second @ 3000 rpm, I don't have an overrunning clutch so when I go to stop with the clutch depressed the PTO disengages until I kick it in neutral let clutch back out and let the blower run to empty itself, then on occasion next to the main highway I didn't always get to do that and then it clogged up, and as I use it more I will learn its tricks, also the those "lawyer" fingers (stone deflector wires may be coming off/out as well, thank you for your input greatly appreciated.

I've thought many times about removing those lawyer fingers too.They DO attract slushy snow.My Emax 25 has hydro drive and an electric clutch for the PTO.You'll have to learn a whole bunch of new tricks with yours.I'm surprised there's so many differences between Mahindra 22 and 25.Learn something new every day.

@WHX24, @ebinmaine, @Horse Newbie, @953 nut, @Ed Kennell, @JCM, @pullstart, @Pollack Pete

Today I tried out the snow plow as this was a very wet and heavy snow more so than last Sunday, some videos for your entertainment... Wish I would have gotten a couple from inside the cab while "rolling" the snow , it did so fairly well but even with 4wd that big ole blade and wet heavy snow will push the tractor side ways (chains on all 4 may be in the future?)

Pushes strong. 

I'd venture to say that was a winner!

That IS a snow plowing machine.Looks like it did a great job.Only about 1 inch here today.Just went out and shoveled a path to the chicken coop.VERY icy underneath from a little melting the last couple days.

This is why we have both, plow and blower, this machine and the :wh:'s you just never know what Mother Nature will blow your way, and just for the record, the Horses aren't going anywhere, gotta have back ups, right @WHX24?

      Toro - WheelHorse SnowBlower fits “XT” Models.  Model 79483 Serial 240000164. In great shape, has high chute, wide kit installed and has belt.  Skids show little to no wear, so I’m guessing not used much.  SnowBlower only.  No mule drive or lifting hardware.  
      $250/BRO

      For sale. 1981 WH C-175 Kohler twin series 1
       
      1. Tractor has brand new ag tires all the way around, brand new seat, new points and condenser, new rear blade quick attach bracket, lights have been rewired with LEDs, it has a brand new lift cable and bracket,seat pan is from a 410... it's surface rusted but at least it isn't busted up like the oem plastic one, starts and runs but smokes a bit on startup if it's been sitting for months but she runs smooth and strong.
       
      2. Tiller is like new. It had been used only about once when I bought it and now it has been used 4 times more. Tines still have much of the factory paint on them.
       
      3. 42" mower deck works perfectly, 4. snow blade was/ is rough but I repaired it so it is quite functional,
       
      4. Brand new rear grader blade,
       
      5. Wheel Horse brand plow,
       
      6. Wheel Horse brand disc- I added a piece of motorgrader blade for a drag. I also welded a post to the top to hold weights,
       
      7. Wheel Horse brand cultivator,
       
      8. Home built furrower. (Makes good rows)
       
      The original Wheel Horse plow/disc/cultivator originally came as a modular kit and in order to use it the draw bar and clevis hitch had to be swapped back and forth. (big pain) I fabricated draw bars and hitches onto each piece so this is no longer necessary.
      I think this is a fair asking price at $2200 for all.
