We haven't had any snow in my part of Michigan worth speaking of, beginning to wonder if I'll need this thing at all! (One can hope)  While I sit here waiting for an excuse for seat time, show me your snow moving toys! I have a 7' blade on the back of this wd45. Tire chains if needed but not likely any time soon.  ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

This was 2020. 7060 with Dads homebuilt snowblower. Have used the 200 last couple seasons. Also use a 3pt blade with o e of the other tractors or a push blade mounted on the Artic Cat

The 6080 is my go to tractor. Was the only one with the cab until the 8030 showed up. It handles the 7' snowblower well, definitely doesn't need 135 hp!  ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Is that a kabking? I had to move snow with my D15, and I've been eyeing the universal cab and heat houser... |

It is not. The Kabking buult by Burch Manufacturing (same company that makes "Heat Houser") was made specifically for side entry tractors and included a top cover, wing extensions and a rear curtain. It mounted using a second set of C shaped brackets (similar to the axle brackets) bolted to the heat houser frame with a steel frame that clamps inside the brackets. From my understanding the sealed up really well and it got WARM in there..I have never actually seen a real "kabking" in person. I have only ever seen brochures and an installation manual I have laying around somewhere. Burch Mfg, Femco, Comfort Cover, Regal, etc all offered a top cover and rear curtain for the heat housers, but they're not nearly as nice as the Kabking system Burch made . According to their website, they still make them. Perhaps a phone call will shed a little more light on the subject. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

We don't get the real heavy snow storms like we used to around here. El Nino' helps us out there with the way the weather is directed. But, when it does snow, we use the smaller equipment for removal. Jo Jo loved to plow snow with the 716H , while I used the snow blower. The snow blower isn't an Allis, but it is Orange. LOL! Here she puts the ole' Kohler to work with the dozer plow.  ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

At house in town; Craftsman snowblower 28" cut, a #14 aluminum shovel & my 68 year old body. At farm (120+ miles from house); Renter opens lane (bldgs are 2200' from road) as he goes past to his other places. Then I use my; Bobcat 743B skid-loader 66" bucket is primary & most fun to run. Backup is, AC200 cab w WL40 loader & 84" bucket & 9' 3pt blade or 84" snowblower to move snow away from buildings and bins. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF.

Polaris 800 with a blade handles it most of the time. I do have and 8' snow blade off a Ford pic kup that I plumbed to run off the rear of a tractor if it gets real deep. ------------- Learning AC...slowly |

It all depends on my mood and how deep the snow is, the first one is a F1145 JD (sorry) but it has a great heater, when snow is deep the 8030 with a 8 ft blower is used and for clean up and bucking the piles higher the D-17 with Allis hyd loader and heathouser is used. |

| I have a walk behind troybuilt 30" snowblower that I have done my driveway with for the last 10 or 12 years I only put 3 or 4 hours on it a year here in Ohio. It set in a heated garage and has 100 volt electric start, I have started it already this year to make sure it runs. My drive is a couple hundred feet long and 25 feet wide, doesn't take me long to blow it out. |

No snow yet so haven't even used it. Not sure if it will move water. That is all we have here now. Entire lawn covered with water!

Since this is a snow removal thread, I have a question on using a bucket loader for snow removal. I have a 500 loader on my D17IV. I have hesitated to use it for general snow removal, and instead rely on a regular snowplow ruggedly mounted to a smaller utility tractor. I have thought about mounting a snowblade to the 500 loader instead of the bucket. However, it seems like the potential for a lot of side stress, etc. on the loader arms and mounting brackets, even if using the bucket. A few inches of snow shouldn't matter, but in really heavy stuff of 12" or more, it seems the loader arms could get quite stressed for anything other than straight scooping and dumping. Pushing large piles of heavy snow can really put some stresses on the plow and frame. Any opinions on using (or not using) a loader for heavy snow removal? |

I made a 'snow pusher' for my BX23S, It's 48" wide, same as the bucket, so I don't expect any stresses... Currently only need a squeegee for 'snow relocation' as it's only RAINED here so far. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Hard to believe I purchased this snow blower in 1996. I always took care of it waxing it and keeping it clean and covered in the barn. It's a tough old bugger but cuts through a foot of snow or higher with no problem. Still has the original paint, & Snow King engine. Two years ago I went through all the chain drives sprockets and replaced the shift disc. We didin't get any snow heavy enough to use it the past couple years, but she fires right up and away I go. It's a Noma which is made by Murray. Been a great unit over the years.  ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

| Back in the day we had a Humbolt loader on a WD45 and had a blade that was used in winter. Dad pushed a lot of snow with it and no problems. I think snow is a bit easier than manure to work with. In manure you could stress it enough that the fan blades would touch the shroud. We had some pics of pushing snow but I don't have them here. Would love to post them. The D17 of course is totally different design. I think it would be less prone to flex compared to the frame type design of the WD45. |

Not much snow here in the Shenandoah Valley the last couple years. Used to get some use out of my 52” snowthrower on the front of my 720. Does a good job. Have a 7hp AC SnoBee 2 stage. Does well also, use it mainly on my sidewalks and making a path around the house. Big Bear 4x4 four wheeler with front blade. Good for snow less than 10” deep. Multiple AC tractors to choose from for the AC rear blade with right hand extension. All open station, but the D15 or 6060 usually gets the nod. Have chains for the D15 but haven’t needed them in 30 years. WD or D17 with snap coupler blade would be the back ups. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Jay, Whitewalls are to expensive for the ole' Noma. That's the left front tire of Jo Jo's 55' T-Bird. The Orange in front is the Transmission off the RC that's used as a weight box on the back of my Honda HT rider. The Honda has a snow plow on the front of it and I use it when we get a 2-3" inches of snow. The ole' Honda is to light. Anything over 4-5" of snow, the 716H comes out, and look out, it has Jo Jo at the helm! LOL! I'll have to find something else to put back there for weight eventually. The RC is slated to start going back together starting this summer. Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |
