here are some pictures of the new holland tv6070 bi di as most of you know the seat and steering wheel rotate 180 degrees so you are always facing forward so far it has been working pretty good except it seems to burn alot of fuel enjoy
this acually belongs to the city airport that i do all the snow removal for i also have a wheel loader that we use in town. you can order them yellow or blue the hydrostat transmission works great for blowing snow the blade is a Grouser Products 2200 series with some custom built wings they made its a brute
your options on the paint are yellow or blue sorry no green the blower is a 96 inch Woods not impressed at all with it the blade works great except solid wings and no trip edge i wanted a Horst with hydraulic wings but we had to buy american
it looks like that blower would work much better the Woods blower is just on there for weight there are some locally built blowers around here that work excellent but this was the lowest bid
yes and no this machine wasn't ordered with a engine end pto but you can install a pto on the engine end , so if the machine is so equiped the answer is yes. there is a 12' broom that has to go on the cab end so thats why we put the plow on the engine end
the blade measures 12 feet without the wings, the wings make it a touch over 14 feet. i agree about the trip but there isn't much to run in to on the airport so it works well
The machine actually has to be yellow if it is used at any airport, I think it's some sort of FAA regulation. My buddy sells Kioti tractors and the just had to special order a yellow one that the sold to a local airport, he's the one that told me this.
we have about 150hrs on it now and have only had some minor issues with it, hydraulic leaks, bad sensor, nothing major. positives are you are always facing the right way, hydro trans is perfect for running a blower. negatives are the hydro trans burns more fuel, heater could be improved and the cab layout could also be improved imo. we have a loader for it but i have only had it on the machine twice, so i can't comment on how well that works. over all it works good and if you are running a blower it the only way to go, but if you are just going to push snow a wheel loader or tractor would be cheaper and simpler. let me know if you have any more questions or want any more pics
Thanks Bubba,
I just met with the dealer and it looks like a real nice comparison vs a loader. The blower is ideal, because it eliminates our need to stack the snow and push it huge distances. We would want to use it as a plow and a blower. We really like the HLA Snow Wing on the cab end with the blower on the engine end. Price out the door with sweeper, blower and tractor/w loader is $160K. I would still need to purchase the HLA snow wing for ~$10K
The fuel consumption is of slight concern though.
I wonder how I can compare a wheel loader vs tv 6070. Is it measured by GPH?
Thanks for any insight.
