Yesterday I was just working on my machines to get them ready for winter (mower removal, etc..) and I saw this thread. I'm glad nobody thought I was changing the subject- just though all snow removal techniques are welcomed!

Grinder,
Its a vinyl fence dual gate 10' opening. Its expensive stuff so it pays to shop around, and shop around some more.
I found a difference as much as $1,500 just for that 70ft
section between different sources. Since its vinyl it expands (summer) and contracts (winter) a lot, its not a big deal but if you are looking for tight tolerances becareful. The hinges give you adjustment ability to compensate for the changes. Its maintence free and beautiful
which are its strongest points.

This thread was finished 3 months ago and was edited by moderators (rightfully so)...the sequence no longer fits and it got heated.
Actually I have added more toys then that...You didnt have to look at the pictures, purely optional...

I just re-read your first post and realized you have a clearance issue with the front tires. Dont bother putting chains on the front, the rears are more important anyway.
I would gather you either have a FEL, blade or Blower on the front. Once you raise that off the ground the weight will be on the front wheels, giving good traction. Most have chains on rears without any traction problems...

jarndt,
I honestly dont have any of the problems you mentioned having with your Wheelhorse. Zero traction issues and plenty of weight (suitcase & wheel weights)

You have many options for a rear 3PT snow blower..I would say in the 54" and under should work fine...some of the advertisers here, carry rear 3pt blowers...

If you plan on using chains I think you have the best tire for that application (turfs) get your self 2 link spaced chains (v-bar type)...it depends on how steep things are for you. With good ballast you will find the 4wd and no chains work excellent by themselves. Its the incline thing and ice which can cause you to slide or spin...
Little tricks with chains regarding clearance with the wheel wells, is to air down then mount the chains. If you have to remove a link do it then. When you air up the chain gets tight, real tight and wont move at all...

Looking to add light kit on John Deere 4100 <br>
<br>
I'm thinking about adding some lights -typical automotive PIAA type lights (maybe 50 watts 4amps each) or something small like that. On my JD 4100 I see some unterminated connectors coming out from the bottom of the ROPs, are they for the actual John Deere light kits? I intend to mount the lights on the top portion<br>
of the ROPs where the hole is. I think I can snake wire all the way down providing the ROPs isn't solid...<br>
I will meter those connectors hopefully tomorrow to see if they are switched with the light switch. I dont mind having them all connected...<br>
<br>
Any thoughts or suggestions I guess is what I'm asking...<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

Hi Guys,

I have the 4100 which is identical to the 4110, just a few years older. I love it to death, it has performed flawlessy for me thus, far and I havent even scratched the surface of what i want to do...I'm pretty much covered on attachments as well, and have found money (a lot) to be saved by shopping around and using the sponsers on this site. I have Mid west rakes, aerators, First choice tiller, Green Mfg PHD, Frontier RB, and Paynes fron forks (on the way). I find the Deere prices for Frontier, out of whack overall. I'm not looking to put somebody elses kid through college LOL....You have many, many choices that are good!!

Maybe a front snow thrower and rear PTO spreader? I guess its nice to have even if you dont have all the attachments at the same time to use that option (like me)

Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
I'm surpised to hear the X575 dosent have the weight to handle 3-4 ft drifts especially with a front blower? I guess<br>
few machine's really can when the snow's that deep - but with 4wd and a front blower you really have a great setup for the<br>
majority of severe weather. Maybe more suitcase weights? Fluid in the tires? chains? will improve performance? <br>
My take overall is the x575 will have a advantage over mowing than the larger machines, because it will be more nimble and the deck type and cut quality should be slightly better with the X575 than a 4115 or larger. You have a lot of land based on your profile. I have a 4100 but I cant comment on the mowing aspect because I have another machine for mowing (dedicated). Honestly I'm not sure if you will get a machine that will be a do and excel in every area. I have to believe the larger the machine the less cut quality compare to the smaller machines. I think the 2210,4110,4115 will cut better than the 4210 and larger because of their size for a MMM, and nimbleness...Thankfully quite a few member's use the machine's above as dedicated mowers, so feedback will be good and accurate...If you went to bigger machine would you still use a front blower?? thats an expensive attachment half the price of a good dedicated mower<br>

success is never measured by the amount in ones wallet...

Plenty of folks who cant think for themselves, or take care of themselves but have money...they are still poor and always will be...

I also would suggest getting an education and start making more money...

This will sound harsh but you might want to look professional and have the right professional equipment and tools to do the job. Showing up with a Craftsman to do trenching is amaturish, and I bet would bring extra scrutiny on your capabilites as a contractor...its your business and image that should be taken into account...

kwschumm ,

Its a smaller world than people think...even the customers :) Fedex being one of those from past and present..For propriatry applications or imbedded ASIC
operations its seems like the better fit, I agree...
I like MS windows 2000 and XP, thats just me I guess. I have found it easier to create a product around that OS
that is not so dependant on custom drivers or commands to be compatible with simple devices or simple configurations. Just my own thoughts and experience nothing more than that. By creating a product for resale i need to have a clear idea who uses it, and how dependant the user will be on the provider/mfg. or will they be self sufficient (ideal)

Nowadays I stick with regional (for me) customers like financial insitutions and mfg's in the NY area...keeps my cupth full enough....
Its good to know you have extensive experience besides tractors, i will keep that in mind - you never know what opportunities arise...

peace,
