    Someone say snowblower? :)

    My ‘64 MF35 Utility with the 6’ McKee SnoLander blower. Throws snow about 40-50’ in the right conditions.

    Going backward sucks, but now that I have a company vehicle with an 8’ v-plow, I only use the blower to clear a few small sections if we get a monster snowfall. Like down near my mailbox where the state plow dumps 6’ high pile from the white line to my mailbox.

    52DA11AC-EC34-493E-9F9B-C721C12FA178.jpg

    edit- also, if towing a trailer that’s heavy or loaded, I recommend using the drawbar. Especially if going down hill. The way the 3pt hitch works on most tractors makes it unsafe unless you’re on level ground only. (The few tractors that have down pressure on their 3pt hitch do not really apply here)

    Bush hog wins every time. I saw it crawling away the round before, I guess it thought it could fight Mr. Woods.

    I’m assuming you’re talking about the grille? I took it off about 4 times today to blow out the radiator.

    I decided to do the little tall field before I left, this is why I have to keep blowing it out. It’s 7-9’ tall in places.

    Try and get the most hp you can afford, a lot of people buy small and then want larger in a couple years, I got a 40hp and it’s been great so far. :anonymous:not meant to be pointed at Coloradotj:hattip:

    Can’t see any need for bigger than that. Unless of course if you have some serious acreage.

    I have 13, but with family next to us we have 38 all together, but my father in-law has 6-7 different Ford 9-n and others tractors in various stages of restoration, the he loves to mow and drive around.

    Yep, wasn’t sure how yours is set up. My dad’s Kubota has a screen that pulls out. I had to add a screen to mine, as if it had one it was gone by the time the machine came into my possession.

    My family has 10+ acres and we have a BX25D. It has the FEL, BH, and MMM. It does everything we need it to. A bush hog would and blade would make a few things easier, but it has been a great machine. Does everything we need it to. An L series would've been too much for us. A lot of the property is wooded and on slopes.

    Saved this rim, it’s in good shape and I’m going to put it on our other 140, it has a bad rim, it’s a 1970.

    These old tires have “gum dipped” on them. My dad has a 1963 John Deere 110 lawn mower that has the same thing on the rear tires of it.
