I just missed seeing your TV in person. I recognized the dealers buildings in the pic ( 15 mins from my place) and I was just there this week. You went a long way from home to buy it.
Yeah it was a ways to go get it but the dealer was so helpfull and knowledgeable it was worth the trip. We should have it in action tomorrow as we are expecting 10 - 15 cm.
Here are a few pictures of a new bucket we just bought for our 988. It is a heavy duty granite bucket with 8.3 yd capacity. It weighs over 17,000 lbs. This bucket will enable us to continue production while werebuild our 10 yd rock bucket. Hopefully next snowfall I will have some vids of the New Holland 6070 and blower in action.
We got about 2900 hrs on the last bucket and probably went through about 10 to 15 sets of teeth at about $ 1800 a set plus other wear items like segments and MAWPS. We moved about 1,500,000 tons of material with that bucket.
I finally had time to make some videos of our New Holland TV 6070 with the Pronovost PXPL doing some driveways and commercial lots. Here is the link to one short one. I will post more when I get some time.
So far so good. I am still learning the tricks of using a blower efficiently with wind and wet snow, gravel, slush, broken shear bolts, plugged shutes. Lots of fun. We did have a few issues with the tractor hydraulics. The blower wouldn't lift off the ground. Luckily our dealer came up and fixed the machine for us relatively quickly.
Sorry for the late response. I havent been on Plowsite since March. Way too busy at work.
Here is a link to a video I made. It is a video of 2 988 loaders double loading one of our 740 rock trucks.
hey cress just wondering how you like the tractor and blower? how high can you stack with the frame mount box and does it have the weight to do long pushes with wet snow?have you tried using the blower on frozen pills of snow yet? any info is much appreciated.
Wow you have some very nice stuff. I really like the Tailgates on the dumps. Is that your pit? Where does the 740 go? What are they doing? Sorry for all the questions.

Sorry for the slow reply. I have been so busy this winter I haven't had to to go on plowsite for some time. The setup I have doesn't allow for much stacking. The new Holland usually has another loader working along with it to stack the snow if needed. The weight of the machine is decent for pushing I just wish I had a better winter tire on it. As far as frozen stuff goes I stay away from it as much as I can to save on shear bolts.

We have 3 740 trucks that work at a local gold mine. The are handling various ore, waste and other jobs along with our 988H, 980 K, 980H loaders and our 350, 450 Deere excavators and our soon to be new Cat 390 DL. Here is a pic of our new 390. We are hoping to have it delivered to our jobsite in about 3 weeks.
Here are a few pics of our new 980 K we just purchased. We will have a 7.5 yd gp bucket, 6 yd rock bucket and a set of forks for it once everything arrives.
Plows were so yesterday.
