Desko 608 #1 Posted January 6, 2018 Like the title says let's see your WH snow rig! Very interested to see what everyone is using out there to tackle the job. Is anyone using a D series with a blower? Is the 520 a common tractor everyone uses to do the job? My two rigs are a 416H with 170 original hours on the blower and the D160 with a 54" push blade with hydraulic angle. My dad built the whole entire plow assembly. 10 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 608 #5 Posted January 6, 2018 Nice! I see that sears in the back is it an ss12? How does the blower compare to the horse? Mal Mac I'm jealous of those cabs and the loader! I bet those can move some snow and the cab can keep ya warm lol. We have a Ford 5610 with a loader but not very small or nimble 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,158 #7 Posted January 6, 2018 All these pics are from earlier this year or last year. (Too frickin cold out! ) 520 with tall shoot! Skonkfest 1267 with blade: King Elvis with homemade FEL: 9 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,324 #8 Posted January 6, 2018 My present crew consists of the first I bought, 1055 with 42" blade, GT-14 with a Johnson front end loader and the 418-C with 42" blade. Our snow fall tends to be six to ten inches of wet and heavy so a snow blower wouldn't work well here. 13 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #9 Posted January 6, 2018 My 520H's ready for duty. This was last year. I put the two stage and cab on my 95 this year. Also added a 522xi and two stage, but its not ready for action. In action this year 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #10 Posted January 6, 2018 '95 520H with plow/blade ,Anniversary 520H cab and deuce, and the eMax with FEL and rear blade this year, last year had another '95 520H with single stage and a 520xi with single stage with the first 2, I keep telling myself that's why it hasn't snowed much around here lately it's scared of the lil red 's, Jeff. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 608 #11 Posted January 6, 2018 These are some great looking tractors! I definitely need to find myself a cozy cab for my 416! With the short shoot blower you look like a snow man by the time your done. WVhillbilly how deep is that snow? Last I seen snow like that is when we got that 2ft here in SW Pa several years ago. Looks like the 520's are the most popular to use for snow duty! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Jeff, but my 95 520H, Cab, and two stage handled 28" plus drifts last year with ease. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 608 #13 Posted January 6, 2018 Nice my 416 with the single stage handled the solid 24" we got a few years back it was slow going but we did get the drives cleaned out the onan is definitely a powerhouse and easily my most favorite engine take care of em and they'll last forever. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 608 #15 Posted January 6, 2018 That was the same storm we got hit by if I remember correctly it was a Saturday. Definitely too much snow for the D160 to push 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,724 #18 Posted January 7, 2018 This picture was taken a while ago. I now have a Sweepster C-48 rotary broom on the C-141 and put the blade on my C-160 auto. Mid-mount grader blade on the GT-1800 for scraping ice. 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adams94 1,068 #19 Posted January 7, 2018 C195 with the big 54" blade I split a beast and if I run out of room I can move the snow with the 520-8 with the Ark 550 loader. Both are fun 11 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #23 Posted January 7, 2018 This is my primary snow mover! It is Kelli’s “Rojo” and it is powered by the Diesel motor. As mentioned a couple times above, these too are older pics but I’m still using the same machine... The power steering and foot control hydro are absolutely awesome. The only thing I really need to get my hands on someday is a heated cab! Turn on my favorite music, adjust the heat, leave my phone in the shop, and enjoy an hour or better in the saddle! But for now, get covered in snow dust and dry out by the pellet stove when done! 13 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 608 #24 Posted January 7, 2018 Very cool to see what everyone's set up is! I wish I had a good snow to go play in with the horses. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navig8r 132 #25 Posted January 7, 2018 Just picked up a plow, a short chute thrower and some weights back in the beginning of December. Thrower service and setup is still on the to do list, but the plow has been doing the job! Tractor is my 94 416-H. Inherited from my grandfather.. he bought it new. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
