The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

I'll add one more thing.
Build your garage 50x50, you'll wish you did in about 6 months. Not even joking.

Funny.
If I were moving to the north country to enjoy powder days the moment they happen, I would buy a pick-up, install the plow when it was going to snow, and back my truck into the garage. When I wanted to leave in the morning, I would open the garage door and just push my way down the 500 foot hill driveway and head to the mountain.

Good luck monkeying with a tractor when you want to ski.

That's not how it works. You blast thru the pow on your truck, sled, SxS, and go skiing/ riding sled. When you get home is when you clean up

Funny, these are my thoughts as well whenever you post something in the Market Philosophy thread. All I can say is, things aren’t always as they seem and you obviously don’t know me. Not sure how much money RA has but he’s proof that you don’t need it to be rich.

Agreed

All of this is true

Just say no. I entered a program. There's room for you too.

Any bigger and the house is cancelled.

I’ve got the mill on wheels. Bring it up and Lorax the shit out of the place do some selective tree harvesting. We’ll timber frame up a toy barn and you’ll have a sweet view of the mountain. Easy peasy.

Wasn’t the Lorax the one who wanted to save the trees?

I have a Simplicity Legacy XL 4wd tractor with a FEL, 49" dual stage blower, cab, and mower deck. It's powered by a 27hp vtwin Kawasaki, they make a diesel as well. Every imaginable attachment is available for them, all manufactured is Wisconsin. I bought it new in 2000, still going strong. It's a great machine for the homeowner, but not big enough for logging or anything like that. It would do it but it would beat the machine up, it's just not big enough. I also have a Polaris 570 Ranger with a plow, you can't rely on just one form of snow removal because nothing breaks at the right time. The blower on my tractor is amazing, it will move 4' of snow with no issues. That said, I mainly use my FEL to plow my snow. Being able to move the banks bank is key.
With the property you have, if you'll be cutting your own firewood etc, I'd recommend something bigger than what Simplicity offers and I'd definitely go with Kabota. You'll be over $25k real easy for something of that size.
Up there you will most definitely need a tractor and side by side as they are necessary tools anywhere you get a decent amount of snow.

Can you put a blower on the UTV?

Can you put a blower on the UTV?

Not the one I have. Bobcat or Kubota would be the way to go for that as they make a shaft drive blower for their machine.

LOL those trucks can't plow shit!! Harv would need a heavy duty (3/4 ton minimum) but better off with a one ton to handle the snow and the pitch of the driveway. And then when the banks are huge, he will have to call someone with a payloader or his neighbor with a TRACTOR and front end loader to move the banks.
And when Harv is driving that heavy duty pickup with stiff ass ride he will be saying to himself, boy I shouldn't have listened to the clowns who have no clue.
