Herder 2,354 #29 Posted December 17, 2020 Nearly 2 feet of snow. The C-160 gets the job done. Man is it cold out there!!! 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #30 Posted December 17, 2020 All we had was sleet with freezing rain on top of it yesterday then an inch or so of powder on top of that overnight, so I plowed early this morning and those OTRs did flawlessly without chains on the icy asphalt. 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,202 #32 Posted December 17, 2020 We got about 3" of very heavy wet snow here. Everything was going fine until I got to the end of the drive and lost my steering! Crawled under to find the cotter pin on the steering shaft GONE... Did I screw up? I was just working on it last week and put a brand new pin in there. Dang it, I hate when the mind goes and I forget to cinch the cotter pin! The up side? for whatever reason, the three thrust shims on the end of the rod did not fall off! Only lost the pin. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,742 #34 Posted December 17, 2020 About 14 inches but we live on an exposed hill so you wind up with almost bare spots then drifts at about 30". Way to much to plow so first time in a couple years sinle stage on the Electro 16 did the job. That K341 was working...That thing sucks gas and she only has the small metal tank only holds a gallon and a half. had to refuel twice. Just finished clean up with the Charger 12 plow. Much faster and easier on the gas. 9 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,317 #35 Posted December 17, 2020 Only 9 inches but heavy, miserable stuff due to a lot of sleet. SAM_3223.MP4 7 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,626 #36 Posted December 17, 2020 Didnt think to take a picture but I popped my cherry on plowing with a tractor. We had a few inches on the ground this morning and the 857 handled it with no problem. One problem is that I have curbing running the length of the driveway on both sides.That makes plowing a little difficult. Much easier to clear the driveway with my walk behind snow blower. Way more fun using the Wheel Horse 857 with plow though. did I mention I am really starting to like this tractor? I will have to remember to snap a picture behind the wheel next time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes sir an Onan with a deuce or a tall single, unfortunately (🤔) I did not get to use mine this round, but you may have seen my pics/vids before. @ebinmaine, So I couldn't find my long down pressure bar for my snow plow that I made up a year or so ago, so to get the slushed ice off the pavement I improvised by hanging 80# of suitcase weights on the moldboard is think it did ok. 20201217_150629.mp4 Edited December 17, 2020 by WVHillbilly520H 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes for the moment, those newer blows aren't a heavy metal, the top flange got a little wrinkled, easy fix, I'll either make a new lift link or find my other 1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,202 #46 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Steering all fixed. Just got done plowing the 'slush ruts' out of the private road. Waiting to cool down before putting her up for the night. Need to find something to keep the snow freezing to the plow. Edited December 18, 2020 by Jeff-C175 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,626 #48 Posted December 18, 2020 Just like Jeffrey, the 857 enjoyed playing in the snow today. Jeffrey tries to bite the tires when it moves. Jeeez I wonder how he broke his tooth and was hit by a car ? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelhorseBob 1,549 #50 Posted December 18, 2020 Didn’t get any pics but I did the driveway with my 520 today. The 44” two stage loved the lite fluffy 16+ inches! The snow at the end of the drive was 36” deep after the plow truck went by and she went through it like nothin at all. Pleased! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
