barns1 57 #1 Posted March 26, 2010 I have a C160 Auto I'm thinking about restoring and was wondering how well they plow snow. Will it raise and lower the blade ok? I'm trying to save my back basically, as using the C100 wears you out. Also, will parts from a C160 8spd work on the C160 Auto, like engine, and body parts, etc.? Thanks, Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have plowed with my Raider12 for years and Im beat afterwards. I say go for it. Denver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuboxlover 478 #9 Posted March 26, 2010 I have a C-160 Auto and it does a horrible job moving snow.....why don't you let me alleviate your burden, and get that tractor off your hands for ya. Really though, I have a 42" snow blower on my C-160 and that thing is a BEAST !!!!!!!!! I can only imagine what it would do to my asphalt and concrete if I put my blade on the thing.....

refracman 167 #10 Posted March 27, 2010 A 77 C160auto is my plow/ utility tractor and it does a great job of plowing snow, dirt or gravel. I run turfs w/chains and 75# weights for snow and ags with the weights for the rest of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barns1 57 #11 Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks for all the help guys. I've had it for two years but due to health reasons and taking care of mom, I just havn't had the time to fix it up. So I'm thinking I can start on it this spring. I hope, I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
