The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

The blower was like 3500, as was the fel. Now, they're easily double that. Shits crazy out of control right now.
What is the "fel". Sheer pin changes do suck. Can you articulate the blade? The guy who plowed out parking lot up in LP used the diesel kabota with one of those blades that split in the middle. He had pretty good control and he didn't wipe out the curbs every winter. The thing was pretty slow but did a good job. Prior to him I had a guy with a pickup. Not nearly as maneuverable and did an ok job. It knocked curbs up but much faster. Prior to that I had a guy do it on a small tracker. Never had a problem with deep snow but it would take him all day. And he would rip curbs.
Overall the UTV was the best of what was used. I kept trying to talk him into getting a blower for it. That would have cut his time p in half and do a great job, couldn't get him to spend the money. Lake placid itself has 3 tractors with brooms on them. They could do all the sidewalks in LP in a couple of hours. They would move Right along and take the snow off right down to the pavement. Much faster less damage and did a better job than the old. Saranac and tupper had those plows designed for walks and they just sucked... And cost more to.
 
"Front End Loader."

My original plow guy, Roger (RIP) didn't like to use chains on his truck because he said it abused the suspension.

 
Pretty sure my guy Roger had a blade like that. It's two halves that come together at a point in the middle? Operated by some kind of servo?

How does it help?

V plow
You can control where the snow goes much better that with just a straight blade. The V plow was invented in Clayton NY. Anyone who's doing commercial plowing will have one.
 
Actually when Roger passed, the guy who plows for me now, bought the V plow from Roger's widow, so it still plows our place today.
 
This is where we are. Attic truss roof.

Shout out to all, on this. Thanks.
