We live on a gravel road and get a lot of stones thrown on the end of our driveways in the winter from the snowplow. I hitched up the 51 broom on the front of my X748 and went about cleaning off those stones from the ends of the driveways in my neighborhood.

Had a few days of light snow with the temperature hovering just above the freezing mark, so I decided to take off the blower and put on the 60" blade to clear the wet snow before it got too compacted on my driveway.

The leaves are mostly picked up off the lawn so now is the time to clean them out of the ditch so that the water flows easier in the spring. So I got out my homemade vacuum hose attachment for the Cyclone Rake and began vacuuming up the leaves.

Didn't have any doubt. Looks like a winner.
THANKS Levi!
Very nice design and build! This is something I have wanted for some time, but just can't justify it.
THANKS and thanks for watching. I will get a lot of use out out of it as I'm building a new house with lots of sand/dirt/stone to be moved around.
That seemed perfect, I’m so happy it works flawlessly. I absolutely loved the trip through the trees!
Thanks and I was very pleased with how it worked on the first try. Not pleased with how shaking the in-cab video section are though. must of had the camera mount not tight enough.
@@X748SE Don’t beat yourself up too much I didn’t even notice 😀.
I like this trailer better than the other one. This one is bigger right?! You do good work.
Thanks and the trailer has about twice the capacity of the my previous 17P tandem cart.
Worked perfectly. Great job on the wagon. Cheers
THANKS and thanks for watching!
Wow, nice work.
THANKS and thanks for watching!
I'd suggest going with a gravity down to save on your battery power! Nice trailer. Well done.
THANKS for watching and your suggestion. Your right it would save on battery with gravity down.
Woooow, I have been waiting for this for so long :) I have the wheels and hubs waiting for me to build something similar! Great work!
THANKS for watching and good luck on your build!
Very nicely done! And a "beast" it is.🙂 Nice to see you back at it again.
THANKS and it’s been a while. I hope to make a few videos of it in action soon.
Good job
THANKS and thanks for watching!
Nice job !!

Wow, wow, that’s a double wow Roger! I love it, taking orders yet?😂
THANKS and double THANKS! No orders to be had. This cart is going to be one of a kind.
Glad to see you back!
THANKS and thanks for watching!
So you're back at it. Nice job! Glad to see you back.
Yup - it’s been a while that is for sure and THANKS for watching!
Looks awesome! Nice work!
THANKS and thanks for watching!
Awesome job on the new cart! Now, how about you selling me that 17p cart? 😊
THANKS and thanks for watching. The 17P will be kicking around for a while.
Awesome Engineering! Another great project for us to drool over!
THANKS and thanks for watching! This project definitely had its challenges to get everything aligned and working properly.
Man we haven't heard from you in a minute if you know what I mean
Thanks for watching and ya it's been a while.
very cool :)
THANKS and thanks for watching!
@@X748SE ur welcome :)
I need this wow
Thanks for watching. Having a hydraulic dump cart definitely makes life easier!
This is a great build. I would love to ask you a few questions about it if you wouldnt mind.
Thanks for watching. If you want info about the core aerator, look in description section of the video for a link to my build thread. If you want more info, then you may have to join the forum and message me through it.
Life’s simple pleasures, watching the snow curl off the edge of the blade!
THANKS for watching! I don't get to use the blade often but it is definitely is a lot of fun playing with it.
Good to see you again!
Thanks! We just didn't the snow this year to make other videos.
Wondered if you would get to play this winter. Good job.
Thanks - A winter that almost never happened.
yea!! snow clean up. Been long time. I installed a linear actuator like you did on the blower chute to make the deflector electric. Still working like a champ.
Thanks. Those linear actuators really help in place the snow where you it. Mine is still really strong. Zero issues with it!
Where have you been the last few years?? Why aren't you paying regularly?? Cheers from Tillsonburg
I'm still here. Life gets in the way sometimes. I hope to do more videos this year.
Nice to see you making a video again! This winter has been whimpy at best. I too plowed out about 5 inches of heavy wet snow with my X758 with a 60" blade this morning in western New York. I think I have only plowed 4 or 5 times the entire winter this year. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future.
Thanks - It's been basically been a no snow winter.
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers who watch your videos 😢
Your Welcome!
@@X748SE I was being facetious, I heard no APPRECIATION to your subscribers who watch your videos in the outro
Bummer of a winter too here in SE Wisconsin for us snow removal fanatics.😢
Yeah - I'd rather have a bunch of snow in the winter any day over what we had this year.
That is completely awesome!
THANKS and thanks for watching! There are more videos on my channel showing it in action.
Where did you get your cover from. And how much?
Thanks for watching. If you are referring to the hard cab, I bought at the same time as my tractor from John Deere. A used one is hard to come by these days but they do come up for sale once in a while.
where did you get the pulleys from?
Thanks for watching and your query. I found mine at a local surplus store at the time but I don't think they carry them anymore. From other people that have done this mod have found them at McMaster-Carr. As of this week - here is a link to some that might work --> www.mcmaster.com/products/pulleys/od~3-000/od~3/shaft-diameter~1-2-2/shaft-diameter~0-5/number-of-grooves~1-1/rope-diameter~1-4/rope-diameter~0-25/?SrchEntryWebPart_InpBox=3%22+pulley
How did you make the custom grips on the factory levers? I'm very curious and want to do the same.
THANKS for watching and your query. Please click on this link to see some pics -> www.mytractorforum.com/media/albums/custom-lever-grips.19209 I bought a piece of plastic material (Nylatron) from a surplus store. A couple of things. The holes drilled for the lever bar and switches are offset. The hole for the wires is beside the hole for the lever handle spaced about 1/8" between them. Used heat shrink to conceal the wires.
Would you be interested at all in making me 4 grips like that? I love the clean look of them. I just tried to use my OEM ones and screwed them all up.
@connerf7283 - I'm currently starting to build a house so I'm going to pass on the prospect of making grips.
I almost started to laugh when I saw her walk out with shorts on .
Thanks for watching and yes a lot of Canadians still wear shorts in the middle of winter!
Great to have you back! Looking fw to more videos 😊 Happy new year!
Happy New Year to you too and THANKS for watching!
Good to see you back, looking forward to some snow removal videos!
THANKS and thanks for watching. There will be some snow removal vids that is if we get any snow this year!
I know this is an older video, but I just found it and have the same type spreader. Do you remember what "throw length" the actuator was/is? 4" sound about right? Also.....at the front of the actuator, how did you raise it up? Is there a bracket welded to the tongue or something like that? I cant quite make it out in the video. How has this worked out long term? I need to spread lime, fertilzer and seed using this spreader behind my ATV, and reaching the on off handle is not easy. You rmethod looks much better!
Thanks for watching and your query! Yes I welded a little piece of square tubing onto the tongue and notched it out to so that the end of the linear actuator can attach to it at the proper height. You are correct that it is a 4" stroke linear actuator. I don't have that spreader anymore as I have a 3PH one now. If I remember correctly I bought a speed controller for it because it travelled back and forth too fast to achieve precise settings for the material to be spread. You can eliminate this issue by getting a linear actuator that has a slower travel speed.
Welcome back
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Dude! where have you been? Cheers from southern Ontario Canada
Thanks for watching! Too many irons in the fire, I guess. I’m looking forward to recording some more escapades with my X748 in the future.
I think your microphone is picking up your voice better! I use my 318 w/gator blades and I blocked the discharge w/ a piece of aluminum plate I had lying around. This is the first year that I was able to mulch them up fine enough to not choke out the lawn. I think the difference was because 1) I did it more often 2) I went slower 3) It stayed very dry this year. I like that you said it stores compactly but I would still have trouble finding room for it. I was able to help out my neighbor this year and he was ecstatic. He doesn’t own a tractor, just a big blower on wheels he pulls around by hand. He has 5x the leaves I have. I think I was more excited than he was!🤣. More seat time for me. My 18HP mulching machine got a good workout this year and the leaves stayed away from the muffler so no smoldering leaves this year!! That was a direct byproduct of doing it before they piled up too deep. Thanks for taking the time to record your yard work. Looking forward to see you blow some snow around.
Thanks for watching. The remote microphone does make a big difference. I totally agree with you that if you do it more often, go slower and the leaves are dry, mulching is a great idea. The problem we rarely get ideal conditions here and it is usually quite wet when it’s leaf season. I hope to make a few videos this winter if we get enough snow to warrant it.
Good to see you back!
THANKS and thanks for watching!
I’ve been wondering where you’ve been ! Thanks for posting
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Nice to see you back on your channel
THANKS and thanks for watching!
I just bought a 7iron deck for my x748 and put a mulch kit on. Works much better and turns your leaves into valuable fertilizer.
Thanks for watching! I do have a mulching kit for my 7-iron and the one year that I tried mulching the leaves instead of picking them up, I found that the mulch was too thick and it had killed the grass underneath come spring. After I collect the leaves I dump and mix them up in a dirt pile. The resulting soil is great for my wife's gardens and flower beds.
@@X748SE we mulch 100 yards a week sometime 8 to 10 inch deep never killed anyone yard yet. In fact the customers love it.
Wow - your customers are lucky. The leaf mulch certainly killed my grass where it was the deepest. Do you get a lot of snow in your area?
@@X748SE A fair amount 2014 we had 32 inches but that only happens every 10 or 15 years
@@X748SE I don't understand stand why because when we are done mulching you don't know there was any leaves. If you mulch properly it shreds them to powder which is great fertilizer.
I've thought about getting one of them rakes but with my hills I'd get to top heavy. Be nice though.
Thanks for watching! I agree, with the hills you have, it might be a bit dicey manoeuvring when the unit is close to full.
does a good job :) that setup would be to big for me, so i might just get a lawn sweeper OR maybe nothing as i can never finish before the snow starts to fly..
Thanks for watching. I'm with you about winter sneaking up on you. Sometimes you just don't get the time to finish things.
@@X748SE your welcome 😁 i got to finish last fall but this fall NOPE. lol But the snow has melted so I could go back out and finish but I’m not taking my snow blower off.
WOW, snow already! We are getting close to having some of our own.
@@X748SE we can see snow in October & it stays, but once in a while we’ll get a year where we won’t see snow till almost Christmas.
