3 pt blower is about worn out. I blow the snow out to the east and the wind blows more in from the west.

Doc I live in Southwest Minnesota. We are experincing a real winter. 4th of January it was -32 at 5am. Today it is actaully warm out +8 The problem is we are ina blizzard warning. 2 inchs of snow already. Nice and fluffy winds are supposed to pick up tonight to 30 miles an hour. Actualy I...

Here is an uodate to a year old thread. I really beleive I had some water in the Hyd fluid. It would freeze and partialy block the flow. I changed the fluid this last summer and the filter. let it warm up for about 15 minutes and she works well. THe loader is sluggish as to be exspected...

maybe a little too much weight it seems to be digging in and casuing stripes. I have the opsosite issue. Not enough weight on my seven footer. It has dropped twom inchs of rain tonight so I doubt I will get to aereate for a bit. The frost should go out tommorow. I'm suprised at the benefit of...

I think I'm geting carried away. I think the best option is a simple box on skidds that I can grab with the forks. Use a small chain binder to lock it to the forks then dump it. Leave one end open so it dumps out. It will only be twice a month. I could use the excersice. Now to get soem mtal...

OK I'm done with Waste management. IT was simple I pay you $58 a month and you come get the trash. They could'nt figure it out for two years now and I don;t want to call and beg for a pickup anymore. I need to build a dumpster that I can use the tractor and forks to dump into the dump truck...

Well we are back to a normal winter here in southern Minnesota. I gave the plow truck away and now only have the tractor with bucket and 6 foot blower. I have only blown the entire drive once. 1800 feet. Now in front of the garge and shop I have removed the same drift about 6 times. Same thing...

Well I found a video on Messicks site baout a method to warm up the Hydro fluid. Leave the tractor in neutral and excersise the fwd/rev pedals. Seems to work. Of course -21 was not fun to start with had to put the torpedo on the trator for about a half hour so it would start. But the drifts are...

Well it was -15. I need to stop by the dealer today for a few parts so I will ask the mechanic. I do you Hy-tran. I know there is a cold weather filter for these. Maybe the filter casues a restriction. You would think the tractor would not move if it was the filter. . The winter is shaping...

Anyone know how the Hydraulics work in cold weather? Warm tractor up it will move fwd/back Loader will not move nor will 3 pt lift or Aux Hyd. Throw the torpedo to her and let her warm more and jsut liek a valve opens. I know I should probably lookat changing the fluid to soemthing more winter...

I froze both buns off today. -9F 45 mile an hour gusts. It was'nt bad if you kept your back to the wind. THe tractor did not want to play well took an hour to get it to start. Worse part is the wind blew the drifts back in. Now I get to get up at o"dark thirty and open the lane up so the wife...

Use the diesel fuel ideas on the stumps. Also get a barn fan or simple leaf blower once it get going, pour the air to it, it will get the fire nice and hot and burn fairly quick. There was a guy up in Wisconsin who decided to get rid of his old cabin. He lit the thing on fire and headed...
