Yup, need more weight on front, have a stack of lift arms from an old car hoist, will tuck up nice.
Build a three point mount, has a chain drive drop box if i need.
Bit of a project, but will be my second line of defence from the white stuff

We get about 2 to 3 storms a year. With maybe 6" at a time. Grew up in new England. Spent 20 years up to my arm pits in the white stuff. Had to go out the second floor window a couple of times with a set of snow shoes do to snow drifts on top of the 3 foot plus that fell. I laugh at folks here. Everthing shuts down for a week and folks completely lose there minds
I remember watching the news last year when the far south got a dump.
I know what they run for tires.
Could see why highways get shut down after a dusting of snow.
It takes a LOT of snow to shut this area down
I know its about bumper height of a 92 chevy- til i hang the plow.

You'll need chains (which with rice patty tires is going to suck, consider getting another set of tires and rims for winter use).
And your going to need a lot of weight and you'll find out why you need crawling gears, That style of blower will suck the HP right out of your little tractor!
Cheap way to get a great set of winter tires if yours aren't too tall is a set of truck tires on the truck rims, I used a set of chevy rims on my B7100 and that little beast will push mountains of snow!

I had a set of 37"mudders in my hands a while back, would have been perfect.
Im on the prowl for a set of drive wheels off a semi.
They just need to be my favorite color. I have a few trucker buddys that have that stuff laying around. A couple of them owe me a favour.
I do like the looks of the truck tires on your machine, but i measured my tires at39" tall
Other option is building a set of forestry chains, big rings to keep chains on lugs.

Skeets,
Pattern on the Chevy rims was a little wide just a little die grinding and they fit, works out well because they use flat nuts and washers on the wheel studs.
Daren Todd,
Height and Rolling circumference was my greatest concerns as it is a 4wd, those tires are exactly the same RC as the stock AG tires just a heck of a lot wider, being that they were studded snow tires would have been good but cleated snow chains fit on them very nicely and added a ton of traction!
Oh and ballast loaded the stock AG tires added about 50lbs and these loaded added 125lbs, real nice traction and stability gain, and yes I did paint the rims orange.

Dont like to deviate off topic, but i started it and its still my favorite other color. Can make this work?
It going to take a little more than a glob of orange paint...
Anybody converted one of these to three point?

LOL, that sickle bar looks like it's done more digging than cutting!
Yeah, you could mod that up to be 3 point if your tractor can handle the weight, which it probably can...
You'd need to make it real sturdy though, there's a lot of weight to the side and vibration to boot!
