Also when you are clearing 6' at a time it does not take very long. Biggest issue is the lack of a rear wiper so you have to get out and wipe off the back window occasionally. Nice setup, good way to move big snow. Thought of getting one for one of my bigger tractors...but twisting around to do it and my back would be in rebellion. (not to mention the cost!!)... heck I have a hard time turning around enough to back up a trailer... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrazeyOlDave 860 #14379 Posted January 25, 2022 I’ll tell ya, finding a good set of tire chains without spending a small fortune, is getting a bit crazy. These were $80 and found this issue while putting on the second one. I was so happy. 🤦🏼 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought 4 tie down chains from a major supplier of those and found burrs on every link weld, I sent them back. I also ordered 4 binders, they sent 3 different designs and colors and they all were the next size larger, they went back as well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy but as a hiker who has tried using those bite valves I'm telling you they're no fun. I like to be able to open something and pour it down my throat. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, especially Camelbak brand. HydraPak is better. But they both might perform better if the beverage is slightly pressurized... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,593 #14397 Posted January 27, 2022 @WHX?? Ya jinxed me bubba. Got a few packages in the post over the last couple days. Found some UV light resistant zip ties. The BBT and I are planning our new garden tools. Got some attachment parts for Horses to implements. Working getting a dirt turning plow from @Mows4three. Also on the hunt for a ripper. Been wanting to get some things done on the C160 Automatic but it's been too damn cold ❄️🥶. No worries. Indoor shop time working on other projects. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina and I will be using the ripper and people power to sort out as many as possible. Good Luck. My clay and rock mixture made a 40hp tractor and 2 bottom plow work a bit. But the real issue was trying to disc it. Two row 3 pt disc just bounced along on the rocks. even with 150lb weights on it. When you hear the local farmers with big stuff discing the screeching noises are major...My garden was a dig out and fill with imported material and now a bit raised... I would no expect miracles from a WH and mold board plow. and I doubt the small disc would do well unless there was a lot of manual rock removal.
