Ed Kennell 38,047 #1 Posted March 18, 2022 Bright sun and 73F today. So off came the blade, front weight, and rubber chains. I still have the 520 just in case. That blade and cab stay on year round. Tiller time. 7 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,354 #2 Posted March 18, 2022 I'll hold off stripping machines down for a little longer. A week from this coming Saturday is only going to be a high of 18°. So I'm not in to big of a hurry, after all this is upstate New York. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Western North Carolina seldom gets a lot of snow, but in March of 1993 we had a blizzard that dropped two feet of wet heavy snow. March and early April can be rather unpredictable so the tire chains and snow plows stay on the 1055 and 418-C. Truth be told I'm too lazy to take them off until I need to mount somethin else. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 312H is the only one that goes from a 48" snow plow in the winter, to tiller in the spring, to a 42" mower in the summer, to tiller in the fall. The 520H is a 54" plow year round and the 417H is a 48" mower year round. So I always have a spare plow and a spare mower. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It snow here every Wednesday in March never got over 20 degrees the total of the four snows 30". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
