Looking a lot like Christmas
also ted - I want to use my grand L 3130 for commercial plowing this year. I have the skid steer mount with hydraulic lines run to the loader which i use for my grapple. What plow set up would you recommend to me. Bear in mind....i will be plowing all asphalt & will need to quickly put my laoder bucket back on from time to time to laod the sanders with sand / salt.

No help from Dennis, I figger'ed it all by myself, same as the little ° for the degrees in reference to the temperature.
There are special codes for all the 'specialty' characters, such as with foreign languages, such as the new European money symbol €.
That way you can type 'Danke Schön' or 'Bitte Schön' or 'Möchtest du mit mir einen Kaffee trinken?' and get all the proper characters in there.
Mostly however I think it's best for making cute typed pictures Œ;-Þ}
As for the plow, we run all trip blade plows, not trip edge, that way when you lift the FEL a little to tip the blade down to scrape the edge doesn't just roll under all the time, it actually scrapes. I also like the poly plows better, ANY blade that far out adds a LOT of weight a long way out, a steel blade just makes the back that much lighter. Be sure to run a lot of rear counter-balnce, nearly max. for your tractor. Also, avoid the tempatation to put skid shoes on the mount and let all the weight off the FEL, you need the weight of the FEL over the front axle to maintain traction.
Thanks, for the comliment and please, feel free to pick what's left of my brain for anything else.
Best of luck.

Ok...i am looking at Snow wolf right now but it seems they only make trip edge. I agree the trip blade is better. What brand are you aware of that makes that style? As far as rear weight, I was going to use my backhoe. Did you have a better suggestion for rear weight?

We use plows made up here called Arctic Snowplows, they are now owned by the cabadain division Monarch Hydraulics. They are very well designed & built and seem to stand up to years of use well.
I would recomend against the use of the B/H, but it depends on the sites you are working on. Personally I think they protrude too far out back and block to much vision. As I'm sure you know, the two things you can NEVER have enough of when plowing are light & vision.
We use 55 gal. poly barrels with a drawbar stuck through them (a little off-center) and then filled with concrete and scrap steel. This seems to work well because the weight is low, well back because the drawbar is off-center na ddoes not obstruct visibility. If you use the milky white ones they look very neat and professional when finished.
Best of luck.

For rear weight, many people make their own weight buckets that attach directly to the 3-point like what Murf described. Deere actually sells them. But if you are handy or have a budy that is handy, you could probably make one for less. People then fill them up with whatever is handy. Sand, rock, dirt, water (frozen in winter, just make sure it won't split your box), etc. The neat thing about a weight bucket is you can use whatever crap is laying around at the right price (ie: free). And as Murf pointed out, they are less bulky than a BH.
Also, if you made yours and you back it into something and damage the weight bucket, so what? Better than damaging the BH.

As for the fancy symbols Murf uses, I use the ALT key plus a three number code. For communicating with a Mexican supplier, I often have to use the alt-161 combo to produce í. Alt-248 is °. I have a list, but it only goes up to 256 and I know there are more out there. You could probably do a google search. Ok? &▼▲↔↑

This discussion is kind of like the kid game, were you tell one something and they pass it on and by the time it makes the circle its totally different than the starting subject.
I just got back from Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon. It rained the whole week with major snow accumulations in the higher elevations. The forecast for the valley today was light snow due to a cold front.
Bring it on.

It isn't THAT far from snow in October.....
It seems funny to me to hear someone from Kentucky saying "Bring it on." when referring to snow.
I was at the auction at Keeneland a few years back when the 'great blizzard' hit, it was hilarious for us Northerners to see a city come to a complete halt because of a little snow. I was staying at the Marriott across from the track and they were plowing the parking lot with a small dozer because that was the only thing they could find to do it. They had the National Guard out on the Interstate in their 6by's and stuff 'rescuing stranded motorists.
The ALT codes can be found on the link below.
Best of luck.

I hear ya Murf. When I lived in Florida for six months, there was a cold snap and the temperature was going to drop to 30° F at night. The radio was going nuts with the warning signs of frostbite, how to dress in layers, how to keep your pipes from freezing, etc. I couldn't help but laugh! Panic over being below freezing for a few hours...
In Wisconsin, or other northern states, we put on a sweatshirt and maybe a jacket when it gets that cold.
