I have been using a walk behind blower and thought it was time to start using the tractor year round so I picked up a 54 quick hitch plow, weight bracket and 6 suit case weighs. Also added chains a the JD squeegee kit for the blade. Just need some snow so I cane use it.

Boy are you going to have fun now. Nice setup.
One question, what is the orange knob on the left floorboard? Maybe I should know, but I don't.

The orange knob on the floorboard is the rear diff. lock pedal.

I know you have debated on taking the plow or blower plunge for a while, glad you finally did it. That machine is too much fun to only use part of the year! You will really like the squeegee kit. It looks great, thanks for the pics Bruce!:good2:

Yeah ok, rub it in. Nice looking place you have there.
How big is your driveway?

Thanks! The driveway is not that big. I have a 3 acre lot but it's long and narrow. I would guess the drive is about 120' long and it start's at about 30' wide and ends 46' wide. and there is a 24x30 turn around.

BTW it's snowing like a son of a gun here we've got 3" so far this morning and they are calling for another 2-3" this afternoon. So I'll get to play again tonight!!!

Looking good Bruce!

I'm interested in hearing how it does in some serious snow.

BTW, that's a great looking house, and awesome garage! :thumbup1gif:

Hopefully it keeps heading east! We got 2" on Fri and 4-5" on Sat. Then the wind came after and blew it all over. So I did get three day's in a row with some seat time!
BTW I sure don't miss the walk behind!

Thank you! The 3rd stall on the garage is nice I can keep my 10' utility trailer in there and still have room to have the tractor in front of it ready to head out the door.
