Wheel-N-It 2,968 #2 Posted December 2, 2013 For the majority of my mowing I prefer using the 417-A with a 48" SD For cutting on steeper, more rough cut, sometimes off camber mowing I use the 416-8 with a 42" SD For pulling a big trailer around I like the 414-8 For tilling I rock the 312-8 that I bought new in 1991 (I've gained alot of wisdom over the years on the seat of that tractor) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 301 #10 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) The best snow plowing tractor I've ever had was my 1990 520H. I plowed with it for several years, my 400 foot driveway and my neighbors, with no weights or chains and it never balked. Had a 48" plow on it and even the 18" to 24" drifts didn't stop that beast.
