A good looking pic there, TCows. Garnish the rig with some Xmas lights and a wreath, and it could be a part of something in your photo albums(memoirs)

 

Put a set of horns on the front ... perfectly OK in PG of BC ...and a big red sack in the back seat... then with tcows driving it with a Santa hat ... we might have a modern day Grinch that plies the snow

 

Me rikey!

More pics please....


What is the tag in the windshield? Need a parking tag on your own property? Who gets paid? The wife?

 

I am digging the custom bent back on the sides, stock front bumper

 

That was a temporary insurance permit when I drove it for 5 days when doing the roof and gutters on patches.....just hadn't removed it.

We're supposed to get a bit more snow in the next day or so, I will get the kids to snap a bunch of actual "in action" pics as I come down the driveway.

 

Yeah I really like that too....Not sure how they bent it and not have it kink, but it will be staying on when I get the cummins conversion done.

 

I like it as well. We had an '88 W250 with a plow rig where I used to work. The bumper was mounted in front of the plow rig and was about a foot out from the truck. I always hated how it looked. Especially in the summer w/o the plow on it.

 

These were from a few days ago...but now that the tough part of the Christmas season is over I can post them up.

This is how Sno-ball was sitting.....



Had youngest daughter stand and snap some "in action" pics.....Coming down the driveway....



Zoomed in a bit...



Turning to the left to drop the snow.....Have a ravine there I push it into.

 

From the drivers seat....pushing the snow into the ravine...



And snow in said ravine....Handy thing to have to put all the snow.



And all done and put away till next time.

 

Nice... How big is your property, there TC?

Looks like you have a few acres. Was looking online at properties up near Oliver, and there's a lot of land up there in gods country. Would love to move my butt up there, closer to the winter warlock.

 

We are on 4 acres....but the back of the property falls into crown land and there are trails for miles back there!

 

TC you live in the mountains north/east of town ? ?

 

We are about 20+ min outside of town in the hills to the north west.

 

Haven't updated in a while.....

Well it's been a crazy winter so far....the major snow didn't start falling until January, and so far in the last 3 weeks we have gotten close to 5 feet of snow out at the house. Got another 6-8" last night! Needless to say old Sno-ball, and my Case 1845C Skid Steer have been busy!

 

Posted this Yesterday.....thought I'd toss it in this thread as well.

Got a few more inches of snow the other day and decided I would go out and plow today in Sno-ball. Well the plow was having some issues, would just click at the solenoid and after 20 cycles on the switch it "might" work. Gave it a few whacks with a hammer and made no real difference, so after a bunch of wasted time messing with it I decided to hook up the block heater on the Case skid steer and then run into town and grab another solenoid.

All they had was a solenoid for a western plow system, no duty rating on it but it had 3 poles like mine so figured I would give it a shot. Got it installed and right away I knew something was not right....the solenoid was buzzing, not clicking. Figured I would do some plowing anyway.....well that lasted less then 10 min then the plow went into full run mode and wanted to only turn the plow the the left, stayed running regardless of the ignition on or not......had to turn the plow all the way to the right, then quickly jump out and disconnect the battery.

So parked it and fired up the skidsteer and finished my plowing. Did some research and seems I need a continues duty 150amp unit, so not sure how stout that one I bought was? Guess I'll order a new HD unit and see what happens.
