    Snow removal with grader blade and turf tires??

    ^^^^^ What North idaho wolfman said I had a L185DT plus AG tires and with a rear blade the snow would move it all over the place when trying to clear a gravel road :( You can move it a bit by rolling in reverse, but it is also a good way to find yourself off the side of the road even with...

    Everything you need to know about SHEAR BOLTS

    Interesting and informative read I actually tracked down the Manual for my Farm King to double check my bolt specs after reading it.. Honestly a popped shear bolt is a rare occurrence for me, when I bought the Blower it was 1 year old and the guy handed me a baggie full of bolts and washers...

    Kerosene Question

    Here is what I have read and found over the last 4 years of using a 75k Torpedo style in the shop They point blank say "Do NOT use last season's Kerosene in the heater it spoils from season to season" You can find this warning on near every Kero Heater, I never tested it out myself, I heeded...

    Implement/Attachment you wish you had sooner

    Pallet Forks.... Yep use them more then any other implement. I never imagined all the uses they have.. I have a funny feeling the new Piranha tooth bar will be very handy this coming Spring..

    Snow blower

    Hint until you decide to get a 2 stage blower :) This Silicon stuff from Wally World REALLY makes a huge difference with moving wet snow through any blower I tried it when I was running a L185 on the blower and it made a world of difference.. Now it is just an automatic any time I fire up...

    Which Snowblower Rear mount should I get B2650

    That 64" is right at the performance max of your PTO's hp I did that for about 4 years on an old L185 These machines can do quite a bit more than they are rated for but it took it's toll on me... I had to go soooooooo slow and I had to make SURE I was out there as soon as the snow got to 6...
