Mls- a while ago when there was heavy discussion of turf scuffing, some guy did a pretty good job on describing toe in adjustment on tractors. Bear with me, if memory serves he measured at front of the tires center of thread to center and at the back of the tire. Excessive toe in was then adjusted by turning the tie rod ends in or out. I don't have this problem with my 870 but this guy did a wonderful job of analysing the problem.. I searched this board for the article but the board seems to only go back about 8 pages. Maybe the Webmaster archives the articles to save on disk space . Then again, maybe the same guy will read this post and do it again. I'm going to look at my machine tomorrow to see if it is adjustable. This guy went all out and did adjustments with field tests and I believe he concluded that 0 toe in was best. Bo

Have no experience with blade in snow but have recently acquired a curtise hydraulic angle blade that would replace my loader bucket. On and off is dirt simple. Two pins and hook up two hydraulic hoses. We get some respectable snow here and last winter I had to bring in payloader to move the snow piles to get more room for more snow. {I gotta move to florida}. I presently use a blade on my cubcadet and it does a decent job except it can't pile snow too well. At times I haul out a 8hp-27 snowblower but at times I lose it and the snow blower won't touch the piles. Hence the payloader. Last winter at my place of business I saw one of the grounds guys running a brand new ford 1920 {with heated cab} and a curtise angle plow. He was pile snow at least 9 feet high. He actually was driving up the pile and shoving it left and right with the angle. I knew that I had to have a curtise plow for my JD870. Got one. Hate to say this but am looking forward to about 2 feet of snow to try it out. All of my neigbors are in awe of the setup and so am I. Better work or I'm out $1700. In about a month or two I'll let you know how it works. When I asked the grounds guy how he liked it, he just grinned himself silly. When I asked him if I could run it he said
