 Topic: Playing in Shameless's pretty
Posted: 03 Apr 2018 at 9:55pm |
Got to play with my new to me blade today. Got about 3", so it was just the right amount. Blade needs a little TLC, but works for snow.   Was having so much fun, I cleared half the neighborhood.

Sorry about the pic size. I cropped them thinking that would help. Might get it figured out yet.

Ah yes...I remember the last time I posted a photo of the 8N blading 3" of snow a couple years ago (Ironically our most recent snow as well)...everyone said that was good, because 3" was all the 8N could handle. 
But yes...looks like a great setup, and I'm sure you're neighbors were glad! If they weren't...well...you need new neighbors! I remember when I was a younger kid (I think it was in 2008) we got a pretty good snow, and the drifts in some places were taller than the pickup! That was a fun year for us in the neighborhood with tractors, as there were 5 or 6 of us all out helping each other blade the neighborhood, and each others driveways (city trucks don't come out where we live). A couple guys had rear blades, Dad and I had front end loaders, and one guy had both! It was fun. Blading snow is one of my favorite things to do, even on a tractor with no cab or heat houser, but ol' Shameless is either too greedy, or doesn't think I deserve any "pretty" even though I gots a Ferd in the barn...

Aw Creston, you don't get the cold we do here in WI. It IS NOT any fun pushing or pulling snow when it's -30........ Now I REALLY feel guilty, we got us a BUNCH in the last two days... When you get as old as I am,,,,,,you won't think it's fun anymore....

Trucker, GET some chains on that WD/WD45. Weight helps, but once you start compacting,,,,,,,,,she don't wanna go too good. Also then, you feel invincible and go to great lengths to get er stuck!!

Wow, -30!!!! That’s horrible! If it gets in the single digits here that is pretty cold. But… The wind always howls down here on the Southern Plains ( it’s even in our state song!) making it feel much colder than it is.

I've got a set of really aggressive twisted link chains for my WD. Just didn't feel like spending 2 hours to put them on the WD45 for one day. We had bare ground until this 3" of fluff showed up. Wasn't to worried about getting stuck. Realized I may want some weight on the front next time.

  The trick is to set the picture display size (left blocks on the picture loader) to 640 wide by 480 high. Gerald J.
