Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, it’s a 2.5 ton or 5,000 lb.

They’re nice for scraping down to the pavement. Also nice when it only snows a few inches, snowblowers struggle when the snow isn’t deep enough. But yeah, the blower is the easiest way to avoid big piles of snow everywhere.

What the video? It is pretty long...

Bob & Kim McDonald interesting, our dealer is the one that ordered them for us. It is very difficult to steer with the blower sitting on the ground without them. Haven’t had any issues in 3+ years.

@@PilotChip Interesting. I was told tractors only have brakes on rear tires so unless your in 4X4 the chains on the front would not assist stopping on ice. This was just a discussion topic at the dealers where I am trying to choose between B2601 & B2650 with the cab. I'm getting older and creature comforts are starting to take higher priority. I have no experience in the subject matter.

Yeah we’ve never had issues stopping, they’re more for steering and for getting up a little steep section of a driveway. It did pretty well without chains but once the tires had a little wear they really started to struggle on slippery hills.

It’s a Land Pride RB1672 so I believe it is 72”.

Hi Tom, when we first had the tractor we had a lot of soot accumulation. I decided to modify the exhaust slightly. You can sort of see it at 0:33 The stock pipe comes out from under the hood then goes straight for a little bit before bending outward toward the snowblower, I cut it off before it made the bend, then I had an exhaust shop bend a 90 degree angle in some of their tubing and stretch one end of it to just fit over the stock exhaust and clamped it on. Then I eyeballed where to cut into the 90 degree piece so the exhaust would shoot out away from the tractor without protruding too much. It has worked really well. I've also seen some people who build stacks but our mechanic worried that might cause too much back pressure.

Tom, here's a little video about my exhaust modification. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKuVYnh3iZ6HbLc

Florian U. ?

Mike Zahnow not sure. I think I’ve read that the rear PTO puts out slightly more power. That being said the front PTO is adequate and I don’t have a sore neck from looking out the back too much. I can see how it might be nice to have the loader on the front but we do just fine with our setup.

I have the same setup and I can tell you right now the front blower is the way to go. No way I’d break my neck to turn around to snow blow after having this

Ben Boudreau yeah we’re around 6,800 feet. How about yourself? I’ve since made a slight modification to the exhaust so it shoots out the side more than the front. The snowblower stays much cleaner!

UtahPilotChip I’m in Maine at about 200 or so

Thanks! Hoping to make some more videos this winter.

Haha I get excited when there's only an inch outside!

Yeah, they might be helpful, we clean under some things as well so I'm afraid they could also get in the way... I may have to look into it though.

UtahPilotChip they probably make them retractable

We're at a relatively high altitude and with no turbo the machine doesn't put out as much power as at sea level. I assume if it were at SL we could go a little faster. Don't want to overload it so we take it at different speeds depending on the conditions: depth of snow, weight of snow, etc...

Troy Elliott yeah I moved it to my less personal channel.

MY APOLOGIES... I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS RIPPING YOU OFF.

Troy Elliott no worries!

Are you happy with the tractor and cab?

Yeah the cab has been fantastic. I'm not sure how well it interfaces with a backhoe attachment since we don't have one. My only gripe is that the tractor isn't turbocharged, but the turbocharged models require the restrictive emissions controls which sounds like they come with their own set of issues. That being said, we operate this between 6 and 7,000 feet and it is does pretty well.

suber140 ja er ist! Ich möchte meinen vollen Namen nicht mehr verwenden.

Ok ich verstehe. Habt ihr momentan keinen Schnee?

suber140 ja, leider. Wir haben einen schlechten Winter. Nicht genug Schnee :-/

suber140 vielen Dank!

I've a decent amount of hours on the da40 and I actually think they have a positive characteristics in terms of stall and recovery

UtahPilotChip it's quite fun once you are well experienced really.
