Agree that there is something strangely relaxing about plowing snow, especially at night when it is snowing heavily and other than the sound of your unit, it is absolutely quite
This is awesome for most well built tractors I would like to see some vintage John Deeres with upgrades like this also I would like to see a center mount blade for John Deere cos they are hard to find I plan to make one but would like to have some know how
Hi Norman very cool idea with the plow blade on the bucket..... I've been trying to figure out how to do that on my allis Chalmers WD45. A guy could spend a bunch of money on a blade and put it on the bucket but I want to make something and be able to remove it easily cause sometimes I like to scoop the snow into piles..... COOL video
Thanks! I like the snow plow set up too. I am like you I want to be able to easily remove it to scoop snow. I need to figure out a better way than the ratchet straps. While secure, it is the longest part of the installation and removal process. I may switch to chains. Then at least I don't have to wrap up 4 ratchet straps when I take it off.
Nice job Norman!! I'm pretty cold blooded though and I"m thinking a cab would be nice. I'm also thinking by now (12-31-18) you've probably got the snow blower fixed :) LOL!!
I put LED on the front of my JD also huge difference really lights up the night..and i have 3 head lights so it is like daytime ,,,great video buddy thanks ,, i just got off tractor from plowing,, we only got 8” tho i wish we got 18” that would have been great,, but hey 8” is better than nothing..
On s'y croirait, une chouette vidéo encore. Là où je me trouve on a de la chance lorsque nous avons 20cm de neige. Il faudra malgré tout que je trouve le temps de bricoler de quoi dégager un passage, histoire de m'amuser un peu avec mon MF1200 Garden lol...
You may want to consider adding a strip of heavy rubber, like from an old conveyor belt to the top of the blade to deter the snow from coming back over the top
yes the led's are great lighting and I have one friend of mine who doesn't like them cause they don't melt the snow on the lenses, I have em on 2 of my machines.
Like the LEDs definitely gotta get em. How’d you like going from no snow to 18? Lol. We ended up with 12 up here. Are you gonna show the repair to the snowblower?
Thanks for your comment. I was excited about spring and getting everything ready to expand our garden. Oh well that's Maine for you. Yes I will definitely make a video from the snowblower repair
Treat yourself to a nice John Deere 4x4 (x575-595) with that quick hitch and a 54" blade.... Mine was stolen and replaced by a 2210 cut. Sold tne tractor....regret it now...so bought an old lgt 145 lkke yours here. If i coukd figure out hiw to put the deck to front motor pully, ill be miwing soon! Cant figure it out. WHY did they have to mKe it such a process to change impliments or for doing simple maintenance?!?
Those nice tractors are for display for all of my guests. I clean em off everyday like a car dealership. But I agree I need more outbuildings. The past few years though I have been building stuff for my wife like hay barn, horse barn 1, horse barn 2, and you guessed whats this year...horse barn 3.
Honestly, Garden Tractors is the perfect way to cultivate STEM which is a big push in schools. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Have you parents email me if they have questions. This is the best activity for a kid to get into!
That's a lot of snow over a short period of time. Being out in the elements you need to really bundle up. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!

Useing my 145 to clear snow this winter. Norman really helped me get the beast going I love old iron 👍🏼
Norman is just rubbing it in by showing that Ford LGT145!!!
I hope ur still building old tractors I have a 10 hp craftsman rider I’m doing early 70s great videos keep up the good work
I sure am!
isavetractors good deal I’ll be buying most of stuff from u then my company name is GeraldsSmallEngines
Huge improvement with the LED’s!
Nice job with the video Norman I like that plow set up on the bucket makes for bigger snow piles
Thank you!
These tractor seem amazing! I personally love the allis chalmers 712h and 716h as they seem very well built also but this is on another level lol
This is awesome for most well built tractors I would like to see some vintage John Deeres with upgrades like this also I would like to see a center mount blade for John Deere cos they are hard to find I plan to make one but would like to have some know how
dis a good job but lot of snow for a small unit thumbs up and shared
Thank you! It's nice to see how much work a little tractor can accomplish!
That is some awesome plowing at 7:00, the weight bucket was key, Im surprised that those straps held up to keep the plow in place.

Cant believe how well that works

You sold me on the LED headlights, will be ordering a pair.
Awesome! Thank you!

Normal people would think we're nuts for wishing there was more snow. but I agree. The more snow, the better!

Nous aimons tous jouer dans la neige!

Nice ford tractor
Thank you!
does the ford have a locking differential option? I live in maine also and it was a tough storm because it was so sticky. Great video!
No it doesn't have a locking diff. I had to sit on the fenders a couple of times to unstuck myself

How well does this pull a trailer
very well
You shuold out the straps you put around the bucket on the bar you have under the bucket so it does it drop like in the video
do you think the plow on the loader works better than just a plow? I was debating making a mount like yours for my loaders
The plow on the loader works much better. I can pile snowbanks 6 feet high
Dam Norm clean under the hood of that baby once in a while , don't give me that shit about it being a work tractor neither !
You're crazy
Two things do vibration & heat shorten the life of these?, I only get a few hours out of a standard bulb, n these are bout 3x price.
No the vibration and engine heat will not affect LED bulbs. They are much more durable and long lasting than traditional bulbs
My cub cadet gets a New engine today
Nice!
Greetings from Bath what part of maine are your from i,m looking to build a plow for my kubota bx
Hollis and South Portland (Warehouse)

You need to keep your stuff inside, pronto!

I would love to build these but my parents doesn't let me buy one;(
Have your parents watch my 5 reasons video. It will help convince them!
Good idea! Thanks!

I know and i hope that she will change her mind. And thank you for the awensome videos, for the support and for learning stuff.
I know how difficult it is to get your parents to let you buy one
