I'll save you the trouble. Move right to this line:

Me: (To self) I'm losing this one.... I knew I shoulda just asked for forgiveness. 

 

Just go buy it.

 

Sexist or not kp I would not kick any three of those tractors out of bed! 

 

Seriously someone needs to do a calendar next year with that as the cover shot!

I would say that my truck might lose a hallowed position in the garage over those three machines...:P

 

Or maybe the barn may get a brand new construction project... For my truck.

I almost forgot to say :text-thankyouyellow: DJ for preserving those works of art and giving them a good home for future generations to ponder. Bob Rock would be pleased.

Those things sure are quite the machine. I've seen them in the Walters brand, Oshkosh, and there's another one too. Maybe Husky? Or something like that.

 

Several people up in this area have them for their own show purposes and bring them to places like Owls Head. I've only ever seen them in static displays like that. Not working.

One of the fellows up at Owl's Head was telling me at some point or another that they were very popular in this area in particular for clearing airport runways. He either had one or had seen one with a clearing width well over 20 ft between three blades.

 

I was just gonna say either that or Coles land transportation museum… that is excellent!!

Never had a need in Florida for any v plows althought I think they made these for the Toro GMT’s which would probably also flow over into the groundsmasters.

That is exactly like my V-Plow.  I am missing the shoes but now see what they look like.  Will be getting some.  Thanks for sharing these pics.

Let’s not forget, I’ve got this little bugger in stock.  I’ll have to get that plow back on and stick Thirty Five with the snow fleet!  @ebinmaine this is no propane tank, it’s an old well bladder tank :handgestures-thumbupright:  It sure makes me want to build a V though, seeing DJ and Richie’s!

The rubbers that would go with shocks, to take up the extra room.

Same SxS I have Stevebo. Older RTV500 in camo & no cab but I do have the hard windshield. Not a speed demon fer sure but a work horse.  What's your source on the cab? OEM 'Bota guessing?  

Just put some some led blaster lights on it and these switches fit perfect in those knock outs on the dash.

HD Defogger?  I used to use on of those at the hospital. They didn't spring for the HD unit and the whimpy fan did little so you could see where you were going.

I had two light bars that I had mounted under the roof now I need to remount on top. I have wiring and switches in there. Mine is a 409 with Subaru 16hp single. Agreed not a speed demon but should push some snow. Cab is aftermarket.

  For once, i am ready. The 520 with a Predator 14 is in the shop and does not depend on even having a charged battery. A nice Ahrens snowblower to chew a slot in front of the door if need be. The 520 barely touches the gravel and on level areas skims barely above at the lowest setting. No chains on the ATV tires , as they work fine the way it is.

  Backup plan for Snowmageddon is a 853 Bobcat with no limit on how bad it can get for smowfall.. Best backup plan of all is being retired and wait till the storm is over and the sun comes out.....

That part is excellent.  

 

Trina has a job now where she can and does stay home if the weather is nasty.  

My company is nearly as lenient. 

If we know we aren't driving truck that day we often have the option of just staying home. 

Both employers are incredibly helpful.

FWD. 

 

Not sure if or how they're tied in with the other types of trucks. That's the one I was trying to think of that day.
