@@mosfet500 no chains, just the weighbox with concrete and 45lb plates in it

I stayed bundled up as I was constantly in and out of the cab, shoveling walks and such. It was a little cold but still plenty of fun. Now I run a wheel loader with heat and radio and don't get out of the cab until I'm headed home

Does yoour truck and trailer handle the weight ok? 😂​@Michaelzeleznik4765

@@BillS-p8s no sir, 2wd

@BillS-p8s it's a 2 stage blower but there aren't any aftermarket kits on her

@@BillS-p8s yessir, 47. Don't think that machine could handle any bigger

@johnwilkins3995 I screed with 3/4" gas lines that have a 1" outter diameter to leave 1" of screed. I used to set rails by string line but now I use a laser level that has dual slope to set pitch

It's the AGT 54". Seems to be holding up well for a cheap chinese implement, no complaints yet. Not sure if they make smaller sizes, though your 35 might be able to handle the 54"

@user-ev3xm7np8x it's very apparent how much worse it's quality is compared to a name brand, however for the price of it, it does very close to the same job as the name brand. I'm happy with the $4k-ish I spent rather than $12k on a nicer one, but you'd have to be prepared to make some baffle and mechanical adjustments to it prior to starting

@Michaelzeleznik4765 thank you. The price is a very big deal for me right now. And some of the upgrades seem do-able. Ill probably go ahead and order some bearings and chain just in case

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 I just bought the same one and mine has a failed bearing before i even use it. Have you had bearing issues? By the way i always turn my drum opposite while Harley raking. that drive looks good when you are done.

@garysmith6073 i haven't had bearing issues yet but I'm sure I will eventually

I dont think any snowblower machine operates much faster... but I never claimed it to be the best - it's just what I have, and it gets the job done. I'm sorry to disappoint, Wayne.

​@@Michaelzeleznik4765I think it's fantastic

Ever since I bought the thing we get less and less each year! It sure is fun

I'd guess 4-500 lbs including the box. I made it so you can hang barbell weights on the sides which is very nice and easy to add/remove as needed

Mission aluminum 6.5x10

I agree. In Pennsylvania we had the same setup but the snow was not cold enough and too wet and would Jam up a lot so we put the blade on and plowed instead

Video is 2x speed. 0.5 speed will show you real time. I find real time too boring 🤷‍♂️. If we get any snow this year (highly unlikely) I'll post a real time video for you

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 lol... just found the video speed settings. I will watch it again. Learned something new today.

@robertsavorgnan528 for sure! The frame rate may be awful lol but it'll at least show the performance better

Which driveway are you referring to in the video and what kind of turn around? 2wd doesn't like turning on snow all that much and making a 3 pt turn each pass would take longer, and making a U shape with the snowblower is messy, they're meant to work in straight passes

​@@Michaelzeleznik4765 All the driveways. 😂

@noworriesmate5903 if you've ever blown deep snow with a tractor you'd know a turn around as described wouldn't work lol. Nice idea but doesn't work in practice

I have a JD 2025r And I perfere the same way

Its been pretty good for the money. Needs some tinkering before it's ready to use, but better than the cat pricetag

It did well until late August where it lost most of its foliage early. I think that was in part due to the scorcher of a summer and drought we had, it definitely wasn't the ideal year for it. We did our best to water and fertilize it constantly, but we couldn't keep up with the heat. We'll see if it revives this spring, but not a whole lot of hope for it sadly

I can send pics tomorrow if you tell me where to, email, instagram, etc?

I’m interested in mod too.. what did y’all pay for your rakes? How do you like ‘em?

@@davida6383 Paid 2100 at auction. Haven't used it yet

@@davida6383 paid $5300 shipped. I can send pics of the mods if you tell me where to send them

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 I’d appreciate that. I’ve yet to buy one, but I’m planning on buying one soon so it would be nice to know. Do you need an email?

For sure! I'm running Carlisle versa turfs, they're awesome. No chains or anything other than the weight box

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 ah. I recognize that thread pattern. Yes I’d say they would have great traction.

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 I’ve also looked that tractor up on Tractordata. Not a new machine either. Has diff lock and power steering. Nice.

@Noel Doiron absolutely. She's a 2002 with 2000 abusive hours. Has certainly proved it's reliability

@@Michaelzeleznik4765 well ya gotta like that. 20 year old tractor. I’ve got 11 garden tractors. Nothing as new as yours thou.
