 Looking a lot like Christmas

Drove through the first snow storm of the year this weekend. October 17th seems a little early. Wet, but accumulating up to three inches on the grass. Time to dust off the winter gear and start treating the fue differently. Here we go again !!

Hit the snow in Gaylord on I-75 late Saturday night and again Sunday morning. Didn't slick up the roads, but accumulated pretty good on the grass. It snowed a bit around the Idndian River area, but nothing like in Gaylord.

My son is up at Mich Tech. he said they didn't get any snow.

I set up a front blade for my 7800 from a blade left over from an old tractor and a home fabricated ladder frame. The hydraulics for the lift is in the ladder frame and the angling cyliner is on the blade. I Run the blade off the FEL SCVs and it does a great job. The ladder frame attaches at the front of the tractor under the grille guard mount and to the center of the tractor at the MMM lugs. This set up pushes a lot of snow.

I'll post some pictures when I get it back on the tractor. I don't remember the exact cost, but the Kubota front blade with sub-frame was pretty pricey.

chrand, the MMM lugs only provide for the "overturning" reactions that get translated to the middle of the tractor from the back of the sub-frame. The horizontal forces from plowing are primarily transfered directly into the front engine frame of the tractor. In addition, the blade has break-away springs similar to a truck setup that will allow the blade to trip if it hits a hard object. Any set up you come up with definitey should have a trip feature to protect the tractor from any impact loads.

I'll post pictures as soon as possible. A picture's worth a bunch of words.

Was doing a job in Louisevile a few years ago when a "blizzard hit" (approx. 2"Wink yeah right. One Kentuckian's answer for improved traction for his pick-up truck was to put his tailgate down and have the wife sit on it while he drove down the highway. Now we were all moving pretty slow with the weather and all, but this seemed like an unlikely solution to me, although somewhat effective. She was a rather large women.
