It is 60 degrees so I thought I would show my snow rigs

[zieg72 209]

I know how pictures are liked so I thought I would show off my pair of 520H's suited for snow removal

[AMC RULES 37,127]

Looks great, but wouldn't the cab be more beneficial set up with the blower? :scratchead:

[can whlvr 993]

nice setups,i guess you plow more so the cab is with the blower? (meant blade)

[zieg72 209]

The blower is a just in case it is to deep for the plow. I had a blower on with the cab before and didn't like it as the snow would cover the cab window and I couldn't see where I was going. If it gets to deep for the 64" plow to move it, I will put the 48" blade on. If the 48" doesn't do it that is when I will get the blower out. So far I am good with the plow up to 6" of heavy stuff. Last year we had 21" of lake effect that took me and my neighbor about 6 hours to clear. I had the 417-8 last year and it wasn't very effective.

Nice snow fleet.

[AMC RULES 37,127]

WOW! 64"s is one big rumped plow. :scared-eek:

[Jeremy Watson 22]

I'm jealous two 520's. Nice looking snow team.

[Riley088 63]

Nice, now all we need is some snow. Let's hope it happens sooner then later. The way things have been thus far we will get it when we are all ready to get the decks back on.

[zieg72 209]

I can live without it. Actually that is why I bought the blower. They predicted a really bad winter with a lot of snow so I figured if I bought one, they would be wrong

[speedyleedy 205]

Great lookin snow removel tractor's you have there ! :bow-blue:

[Jake Kuhn 1,554]

Very nice snow fleet! :handgestures-thumbup:

[COMMANDO1 23]

Boy can that push some snow. whats up zieg? been a long time.

[shallowwatersailor 3,213]

Nice setup! Lake effect snow is crazy. I can remember one time being on I-94 on the way to South Bend in a blizzard! Six lane highway down to a single lane that was all over the place. Got off at Route 2 to go east and move away from Lake Michigan. It was a bright cloudless sky after one mile! Have they needed to shutdown I-65 this year at all?

[Operator 7]

Nice plow Carl! I remember that driveway! Even though it was a little dark out.

I have to ask I've had a few 520's & although they are nice machines, there a bit much for my needs.

Currently the "big" tractor in my fleet is a 417-8 that to me with the manual is every bit as strong as my prior 520's.

What was ineffective about yours?

The only gripe I have with mine is the electric lift is very slow.

Not to derail the thread, your 520's are nice & the widened blade is slick!

The mild winter we're haveing here in northern IN this season is a bit of a disapointment.

Hopeing it will snow soon or the grass will take off so I can start mowing & gett some tractor time.

[Wheel Horse Kid 105]

Great looking pair of 520's and also great looking plow, cab, and blower! I think that you will be able to tackle any job with that pair of horses!

Mainly the 417-8 didn't have the weight to push as much snow. I had the same plow and even had the front weight on to help with the steering. Maybe it was the lack of Hydro or the fact I didn't like the manual trans. The electric lift was real slow and a battery drainer. But the main dislike was that when I was done I was wore plum out because the lack of gear reduction steering.

A second cab, and I would think you have the ultimate combination for snow clearance. :thumbs:

[Lars 526]

Nice setup

Out of space to store when not in season.
