 Topic: More Snow!
Posted: 21 Feb 2015 at 5:43pm |
We have about 12" with more coming down. Got the D12 out and cleared the driveway. Here is a short video.
I had to put the chains on as it was getting slick. Tomorrow should be a busy day

we are dry out here, and will take any un-welcomed snow, so send it out here! :)
We try to combat murphy's law by not hooking up the snowblower in preparation for a forcasted storm. its a little cat. 1 ford blower, and we have an old truck hood that we used in 06 to drag it over to hook it to the tractor.
Hooked up blower= no snow
un-hooked blower= snow
just how it works! :)

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.

Got about 8" over the last 24 hours here, a lot more west of me in the hills. Might get a few more inches tonight and another storm on Wed/Thurs. Record amount of moisture and snow for Feb.

Warmed up to 48 today and man it made the snow hard to move. Wished I had stayed out late last night clearing. But it did melt pretty good today on the roadways

Charlie:Now that I've been able to play your video I see that you've been having fun with that set up up got from me last fall. I had used about 300 pounds on the drawbar, which helped a lot.

I have a set of weights on it now. The chains are OK, but since they fall within the cleats of the tires, they don't grip as much as I like,

Those HD X-bar chains I have would stand up on the treads. I've known people that had an extra set turf tires that they left the chains on and switched tires when they put the snowplow on. Half worn tractor tires also let the ladder bar chains work better.

One of parents neighbors called wanting their driveway cleared so I borrowed my dad's D15. I really enjoy that tractor. Bought new in 1968, 2388 hours.

You can fix those chains so they work better. Just grab 2 cross chains and pull them together attaching them with another link.  Go all the way around like that and you'll be surprised what that tractor will do. A link like this would work.

I got a set of those X chains on my JD 60. I think they called them field chains. They grip good, but be careful on the ice. They tend to "skate"!
-3 here this morning. Some snow left, but only in the grass.
Geez Charlie! Looks like you're hauling @ss with that D-15!

Joys of the pick stick taking off! Don't have to slip the clutch to get going in high gear.
