147 Cub Plowing Snow!

[jbratton]

Got up early this morning to plow the driveway before work. 5” of wet snow. Had fun!

My 1711 easily moves up to 10" of heavy snow before it has traction issues. The newly added chains really helped. I will be adding the additional hydraulic connections to enable the plow power angle.

satisfying to see them dogs eat, ain’t it!?!

Wow. Thats really good. Mine did good too. Obviously pushing a big pile it had some traction issues.
You have a picture of your tractor?

A dog trying to get that bone! It sure was satisfying. That rubber cutting edge works awesome! I’m going to check for ware tomorrow.

Running that speed, you might actually benefit from a "wing" to give you downforce

Nice, Im impressed at the speed you are going, what model tractor ?

 

[tkhoffman]

All paved I am guessing. No way I'd plow at half that speed on my stone driveway. Although I wish I could so the snow would slide off at a good clip and not roll back under the rear tire. I guess a bit longer plow is the answer but that's what came with it.
If the snowfall is cold light 12" or less, I use Tug and then push back with my larger machine. If it's more snow, I plow with the big machine and clean up with Tug.
