Johnny plow - anyone ?

Recommended Posts

I ordered a Johnny Plow for my C81, which will also  fit my 310-8 or the 315- 8 . Its a Tach-O-Matic option.   As I am getting older I am looking for easier yard duty. I realize this is not a rugged heavy duty  accy  but from what I can see it should handle mulch, some soil and even some gravel ( small qty's) with minimal issues.  It comes with power lift ,  dump, ( electric) and a  40 " loader bucket  width  which is exactly what I want so  I can grab STUFF from my 48" wide trailer.  

 

I actually looked at a few compact tractors which sold for well above $10 grand but they all had 48" buckets, so I passed.   I found the Johnny Bucket Loader quite by accident and was quite surprised that he made them for the WH Tractors.  The cost for a compete kit with shipping is well below $10 grand  ! The Wheel Horse  kit is for a double sized bucket, power lift, power dump and the bucket  has teeth that can be removed. 

 

The video's  on line look quite interesting  ,apparently these things work pretty  well, of course with limitations of weight and bucket load.  I plan to add  weight on the  rear hitch as well.  

 

Anyone use one, own one ?  Want to comment ?

 

Thx in advance

nice tractor and plow !  Do  the electric winches attach directly to the battery and do they  cause any battery excessive load ?  Approx how much front lift does  the blade have, also how much depth does the blade  have , digging depth...  I'm not looking for heavy duty,  just yard duty, move stuff from one place to another but would like to be able to remove material from a  small landscape trailer without too much muscle work ! 

 

thx !
