Allen will you be using the tractor with the duals on it with the loader???

Nice looking setup. I always thought that the Quicke loaders where well built.

No,

Duals have to come off for winter work and spring plowing.

Scuse the ignorance sir, but why spring plowing? I'd think you would want as much surface area against the ground as you could get....to me the reason guys buy dual tractors, like the reason for radial tires... just asking.

The M might '''Just''' be out classed with the looks of that. You probably still need the blower on the drive. Jim

Allen do you have no rocks in your area??? I see the plows look to have solid shanks. I can't even see any shear bolt or anything.

I always wanted a roll over plow but about when I could afford one we quit plowing. I liked the idea of throwing all the dirt up hill.

Not enough rock to worry about here. Used to be an old ocean floor.

If yer ready for snow... it won't snow, so do ya think this will be a mild winter ?

Mine sat in the heated garage, rear blade on facing out, seemed to have kept the snow away last season. In reality, it'll be back, usually is after a mild one.

Sure looks like a nice bale grabber!

You have snow flakes big enough back there to pick up with a grapple?

Many times in Terre Haute I put the snow plows on my tractors and NO snow. Good thing my tractors are paid for.

That is going to make one really nice loader tractor with the CVT transmission. I have run the CVTs before and really Iiked them but didn't really have the use for one. Did you figure out how to switch up the throttle pedal as a hydro pedal? At least you could do it on the old orange models so I assume you can do it on that one too. Do you have a set of forks for the front of that tractor? It would make a nice forklift for seed pallets/boxes.

The mayor back then said God put the snow there, God can take it away. City had no snow equipment.

Saw a guy buying a gas powered snow blower yesterday at Lowes, here in Ky. Man don't be jinxing us
That is a sharp looking rig, good luck with it!

Having not done any (to speak of) moldboarding, I guess you are talking about the right tire won't ride in the bottom slot correctly if duals. You going to plow with your new Massey?

Talk about river bed, or glacier activith comment; I am down here half way between Dallas and Okieville on Houston black clay with an alkaline shale underlayment at varying depths. No rocks in my subsoil. Every time I plow I turn up a few 1-4" brown, water polished, river rocks. I'm on top of a hill where to the N water drains N and to the S it drains to the S. If the glaciers didn't drop them here then must have been grimlins.
