I bought this rig for $750 two years ago. It came with a single stage snow blower attachment. Since my driveway is made up of recycled tar and gravel, it never worked very well. If it was heavy wet snow, the blower would just get clogged no matter how slow you went. Or, if it was light snow, it would pickup the gravel and throw that too.

Anyways, I found a ATV plow for $100 on Fartbook marketplace. This was my weekend project. I had to do a little welding and cutting, but I got it to fit. It also didn't come with skids, so I made some. Right now, the blade sits 1.25 off of the floor. I don't know how much it's going to dig in till I try it. I can always add holes if I need to lower it later.
Mama always said, If you ain't got noth'in nice to say, don't say noth'in at all!

That is a one heck of a deal HD.  I plow but when we have a lot of snow I wish I had a blower.  Good job.  That tractor looks like it is in great shape too.

      Looks nice. I would hate to see you do all that work and then get no snow. That would be terrible.
I used to be cute and adorable. Then, I had my first birthday. Been downhill ever since.

Nice score HD! Freaking bargain!

I'm hoping for snow too.





Just pulled the old girl inside for some pre season maintenance.  I didn't have her our not even once last season because I didn't like our ice conditions on lake of the woods.

      Nice. Do I see an early 1950's Dodge Power Wagon?

Yes, I restored that one for a customer.  I haven't done any restoration work for over 2 years now though.  I've been full time in a weld shop that I run with my brother and my 2 sons.
