you need to pull up to these unplowed country lanes
start the camera and then say "hold my cookie tin"
and send it

Your dog in the front seat with a helmet on would be good.
get one that matches your helmet.

lol

The cookie tin or the dog...? @cwren2472

I always told people to check with their house insurance , if Firetrucks cannot access your property you might have NO coverage .

that is a pretty cool feature.
We install a piece of rubber horse mat on the back side and front side of the blade.
it get the snow off the curb on a narrow blade and it also helps alot if you going around a post, pillar or you move a little towards a building or something.
You will not do any damage with the blade as the metal is covered with rubber.
It keeps the operators that extra six inches away from the building and plowing forward or backdragging if you get too close the rubber folds back and covers the blade.

I also swap my factory cutting edges out for stainless edges on the sidewalk plows and nick the corners on a 45
the stainless is to prevent the rust stains on the concrete. The cut really helps on bricked paths.

I thought of doing a 60" blade with a 54" cutting edge and the corners being all rubber.

The horse mat might be something for us to consider, but it may be too wide for our application, since that machine does have some pretty tight areas. Also this site is not concerned about concrete being stained, because most of the concrete, curbs, asphalt, and interlock pavers are complete garbage.

Rant mode: interlock pavers suuuuuuck they are personal injury lawyers favourite thing to see ! haha

Here it is mounted to the 2007 holder 9.88, It seams to be pretty decent, It doesn't sit perfectly level, we might have to customize where the front lift arms attach to the machine and mount them lower on the blade. That would increase the height the blade could be lifted off the ground, as well as make the blade run more level. Right now it can lift the blade close to 10" off level ground, it might be important to get more lift. We have lots to work with here since saving over $8600 (not including taxes) verses going new.


I made some custom front fenders this fall for the front tires, had some old stainless steel sheet metal to hold the rubber in place and stainless steel bolts to hold it in place.

On the back is a Down Easter stainless steel drop sander, mixed reviews for that. The wire they used for welding doesn't seam to be the best quality, compared to the wire used on Fisher/Western stainless steel hopers. The "fingers" that are used for dropping the salt on the back are not stainless steel, and already had to replace one after the first winter and are very pricey. As well the rotating salt agitator is not stainless either.

Those fingers that press up against the rotating bar can be made out of lexan or poly.
we just buy a sheet and cut them

Last night was a success

 

[MIDTOWNPC]

Started snowing hard. All residual salt was washed away from rain. Went for a drive. 5 mins down the road. Pure sun.
I’ll keep the load load on and park undercover

I feel like I'm glad I'm not a kid trying to build my business with one truck anymore. With the supply chain the way it is; waiting over a week for a major component would definitely cause me some anxiety and smarten me up or bankrupt me
I need the room in the shop to get working on some mowers, so I took the time to weld this thing but I still don't trust it lol. It ate into it being a 45 min fix though Chad...

 

[SHAWZER]

Mine and 2 other ones i have seen cracked farther back on the bottom of the 2 arms .

Check it out close for other cracks .

Good job .

I don't look at 💩 when I'm welding...lol
You don't think I looked it over?

I'm glad you fixed it, now it won't snow.

I hope not I've had my fill this season. Really the first year my heart wasn't in it.

Some fine cracks you need a magnifying glass ......
