Tankman 3,518 #103 Posted December 31, 2012 **Update** Finally a quick storm dropped 4-5 inches on Eastern Pennsylvania. Grandson was thrilled, '85 416-8 was assigned to the task. Pushed snow back 'n off some grass, making room for another event. So far, no need to mount the blower. At 5-years old, he can't reach the pedals. Low-low gear, walking speed, how exciting can that be for a little man? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COMMANDO6 20 #105 Posted December 31, 2012 It's a shame that we haven't used the horse to plow in years. And right how it's in pieces in the garage. And if you want the highest pile, that would be last year when we got about 20 inches on top of 14 inches. That called for my dad to pull out the Kubota B7100 with the loader. We ended up with two 6-7 foot piles. Great for snowball fights... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,125 #107 Posted December 31, 2012 I remember those back to back storms too, not last year, but the year before...Dec '10, Jan '11 snow season. The single stage on my 520 had our little driveway looking like a tunnel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu48aGgLkzw&list=UUd_ptV1TUpPlW1VhCjxez_Q&index=40 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #113 Posted January 1, 2013 I figured I'd throw a pic up on here of my 520 snow machines, the plow tractor is a few 520's pieced together, but mostly a 1993, with a 48" blade with a 5 position sector, the blower tractor, is a clean low hour 1995, I went through the machine top to bottom last winter, I have a cab for it, just havn't installed it yet, the tall shoot blower got a rebuild last year but never got used because of no snow, I just this week installed the 2 link tire chains, and painted a full set of cast iron WH weights, I painted them black, most of them I paint red, but I wanted it to be different, I kinda like the black on this tractor. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butch 194 #118 Posted January 2, 2013 We ended up with 10"-12"s by the time it was over.....nice and fluffy! My GT was a bit overwelmed by the amount of snow. She coulda done it with half passes but I decided to give my old Gilson walk behind a workout since it only was used once last year. The Gilson (8hp Briggs / 26" cut) handled it with ease. Its nice to have a big old all steel heavy-duty snowblower. My dad has one of those newer Ariens and its so light that it wont dig in....it actually starts to ride up over the snow. Mike............ Maybe you shoulda started plowing when 5-6 inches were down. That's my plan IF we ever get snow. Since I have a plow and chains it never snows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #119 Posted January 6, 2013 Got my little round hood fitted with a snow blade today, it does pretty good for as small as it is, for small snow falls I'll play with this, but bigger snows I'll use the 520, the hyd lift on this is nice, I can pick the front tires up about 3/4" off the ground for good down pressure, and still raise the blade up about 6" off the ground. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #121 Posted January 6, 2013 Those are Deestone tri ribs, I love them, the center rib is taller like a true tri rib should be, little better pic just before I put the plow on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
