JCB1400, 20,000 pounds of pure grunt, will do anything, but not nearly as graceful as the Kubota.

Snow blower.
Snow blower.

Old style single stage snowblower. Requires very little power compared to modern 2 stage units. This 6 footer will run quite nicely on a 25hp. machine.

Rural driveway.
Rural driveway.

Picture does not do it justice. It climbs 50+ feet vertically in a run of about 250 feet and is barely wide enough to take a truck. Built as per clients strict instructions and written specifications.

Forks, 2 inch x 2 inch receiver hitch, 3pth adapter not shown and snow plow in picture #15 make this the normal attachment on my FEL.

New Bri-Mar 18 foot trailer, 10,000 pound capacity, the trailer in picture 19 was too heavy for everday use, it will stay behind the 5 ton truck now.
