ebinmaine 67,265 #1 Posted January 19, 2020 I've had several people request to see the yard and driveway we plow with the Cinnamon Horse and 867 (Pig Pen) Here's a couple videos of our upper yard. We also plow behind the house next to the shed where the chicken coop is. Last night we had 6 inches of light fluffy snow. Cinnamon is very heavy and handled it easily. Pig Pen does quite well but doesn't steer... Eventually we'll get some chain on her front tires. I really enjoy myself and Trina absolutely loves ❤️ plowing snow. @Lee1977 here's actual real live video proof that I did some of the work. 6 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,130 #2 Posted January 19, 2020 Nice neat job looks great. Big difference in the weight of the snow compared to last storm.Knowing your yard,. ideal for the placement of snow piles. Only pic I have after snow blowing is the 520 sitting in the sun and wiping it down before storage until next time. What a TEAM. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,020 #4 Posted January 19, 2020 Eric have you checked the RPM on Cinnamon. It sounds a lot faster than 3600 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you stab the clutch pedal Eric, and take the load off the motor, it sounds like its over 3600... maybe it’s just because we are hearing it thru a video 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've adjusted the dam thing down twice now. That carb does suck some air. I'll get it swapped out with the one @JCM Jim and I rebuilt. Then adjust again. Should there be a lock washer or star or something on that high speed gate bolt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herder 2,354 #7 Posted January 20, 2020 OK EB I watched the video's and now I am certain. You need a snow thrower added to your collection. It snows for eight months out of the year in Maine. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not 8 though.. THAT is too much winter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should there be a lock washer or star or something on that high speed gate bolt? Is it a carburetor issue or is it a governor issue? I don't think the governor should ever allow it that high. I watched a few videos and I noticed it revving up that high and it actually made me cringe By the way, I like the tri-tone paint job on your house! As much as I dislike the cold, I'd love the chance to plow snow at least once. If we get any at all, its once every 5 years or so, and it isn't much. If I ever find a plow I'll buy it just for the off chance that I can ever play around with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Issue is certainly both.... This carb has a very loose throttle shaft at the top. The governor works ok I think ... It is set correctly on its own. The high speed stop is set too high. I've tried to correct it twice. I did get it down some but not enough. Last I checked the engine varies RPM from 3550 to about 3700. Sounds like it's gone higher again. House in process of getting a new coat of orange paint. Old yucky color is the reddish. White is primer. Hoping to be done by May or June. Have to wait a couple months for warmer weather to start again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #12 Posted January 20, 2020 I go along with a blower.If you keep getting that kind of snow the banks will be more than the horse and plow can deal with.Have fun though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we'd had a little more snow or if it was wet muck we would have to clear the yard with the snowblowers first, then plow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #16 Posted January 20, 2020 Funny Videos, thanks for sharing. My horse like to stretch it‘s legs also, but no real snow to play..😢 however, enjoy your Seat times.👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,265 #17 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I feel a little guilty as I have never tried the single stage WH blower my uncle gave me. Now that I am getting more fully retired and less semi retired. i just might get that one going. ... So many machines, so little time. We have not had much snow as of yet. I never worried about it with a bobcat skid steer around the place. Edited January 20, 2020 by ohiofarmer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
