Tractor for sidewalks

[turfcarelawns]

Here is the pics of the deere that you asked for. I have attached a few that show all of our extras to it as well. Strobe light, rear light, front lights (very bright), radio with headphones, and the v-blade.

[turfcarelawns]

sorry the radio didn't attach. but here it is. becomes very useful with the long hours in the unit.

Cool. Thanks for posting them.

BTW, that was my 1,287post.

Here's a link to a previous post I did in another thread on the tractor we use on sidewalks. We love it.

I run two New Hollands TC24D. Both with front mount blowers which are 52 inch I think. They are have hydro shutes, flipper,,, and auger. Awesome unit. I use these on all drives as well. Awesome little tractors. Cab, heat, etc.

I had a rear blower but hated it. Never again.

I also have a 78 inch bobcat blower on BC S650. No problems with that machine either. I like a steering wheel better with a blower but bc is nice

The NH 1030 comes standard with 4WD. The lift capacity of the loader is about 900 lbs

Thanks, I like the cab too! So does my 22 year old son and 15 year old grandson who both want to run that Tractor. That cab cost me About $5,500.00 mounted to the tractor. It is a much better cab than a Sims or Curtis which the NH dealer wanted to sell me.

I will post some more pics when I get a chance. Got to celebrate the New Year first. No plowing in the near future. Today was 45 degrees. Tomorrow may go to the mid 50's.

That's a nice looking Green Machine. although I prefer NH Blue.

What size is that inverted rear Blower? Is it John Deere or Frontier? Does not list it in either web site!

Over the years I have owned several rear mount pto blowers on several Ford and NH tractors and never had a problem operating them in reverse. Currently I have a 72" NH blower on another NH tractor. I need the loaders to load rock salt and clean-up areas the are too tight to plow with larger equipment efficiently. With a rear mounted blower you get the best of two worlds, plus they are made much more durable than front mounted snowblowers!

Its a custom blower from a local mfg... Deere makes a great tractor but I'm not thier biggest fan of their snowblowers...

Thanks

BlueJay, what was the cost of that cab if you don't mind my asking? I wonder if they would make on that would fit our JD 4010.

It cost about $5,500.00 installed. Go to the web site of Jodale Perry at www.jodalperry.com or call them at 204-822-9100 ask for Angus, to find out about John Deere cabs. They are considered to be the "Cadallac" of after-market tractor cabs. In fact they build some factory cabs for some tractor manufacturers.

Here are some more pictures of the NH 1030 tractor, Picture 1 & 2 show the tractor with the pto powered spreader for ice melt pellets only. At a very low rpm it will spread on a sidewalk and on a fast rpm it will spread 35-40' wide. I like that spreader. I tried a SnowEx utility spreader but it did not work for me.
Picture 3 & 4 show the tractor last spring before the cab was mounted with the 60" undermount mower which I use for some athletic field and cemetery cutting. It also shows the small dump trailer 2yd capacity which I got to move large quanties of mulch to distant back yard border property beds (one job we moved 60yds of mulch with that trailer,it cut our install time by 60 percent). Incidentally the tractor loading the mulch is a NH2310 40HP tractor which I have a 8' Protech snow pusher for. That tractor with the pusher also works great!

Love all of these rigs.....Especially the JDf1145!!

I used to mow with a f935, I always wanted a blade for it too.

On the rear 60" pull blade , 350 lb capacity pto powered spreader for ice melt pellets only. I am looking to buy a rear pto 54" snowblower, either a Blizzard model B-54 or a Pronovost Puma 54". Both are priced the same About $2500.00 The Blizzard model is built a little heavier than the Pronovost

Just a update on my post on this thread.
I finally got my Blizzard B54 rear pto snowblower for my NH1030 tractor. The blower has worked very well on my job site. I even took it to other sites to open up walkways and small drives to to rear out buildings that were not cleared for most of the season. I chewed through 18-30" of snow buildup without any problem. I have included some pictures of my unit.

Nice stuff on here! I didn't even know this thread was still active! I went the Kubota route, and bought a GF-1800. Wasn't the best decision I ever made, but how was I to know? I hope to go with a tractor or John Deere front mount system next year.

This year I decided to try a Simplicity Legacy XL: Its got a 27hp Vanguard diesel engine, a 47" 2 stage blower, and a 60" sweeper attachment. I'm excited to try it! Should be a beast. I'll post pics soon.
