I miss your videos Norm, but I'm so glad these old ones are still available to view...especially these snow-plowing ones, (we don't get much snow in central NC).

Love to see how it does with a longer blade and then a snowblower bc Kool but great video Kool stuff ya do I just put a vertical shaft diesel engine in my 240 to mowe with my custom 10ft mower deck

@rydplrs71 4 года назад

Traction looks really good. I’m not sure how wide that blade is but the JD 54 will really push the front around. Using the split brakes helps a lot instead of chasing the steering but it takes a lot of practice to be smooth.

@pa6390 4 года назад

Nice!

@flintknappingtools 4 года назад

@patrickbradley4339 3 года назад

Great idea. Ive had traction issues with 208 chonda 14horse frankenstein. Have them on our 640 ford.

@motorv8N 3 года назад

That's amazing - subbed!

@wannabejeeper 4 года назад

Nicely done! It would be a nice match to put skies on the front!... or I've always wanted to see someone make a loop of chain (using an add-a-link) that just fits around the deflated front tire, then inflate it. Directional only and still a smooth ride.

@jpocketrocket Год назад

Your track system is incredible ,I see the front tires don't want to turn ,I saw another guy on my Facebook group of john Deere enthusiasts took some roller chain and he also deflated the tire and put on the chain and then aired up the tire to hold on the chain and now he doesn't have a problem with the tires sliding.

going to try to make a halftrack system for my case 210 with a 10 horsepower kohler cast iron engine. hopefully it works as well as yours! I'll film it for my channel as well to help others out on their builds.

@seansysig 3 года назад

Norman that 317 is remarkable. How about showing us how the rear braking with the grousers turns quicker. Would you design your tracks to be mire robust?

@brianphilbrook5262 4 года назад

How much snow did you get? We got about 14 inches up here I think the weatherman said. Looks like the half track plow pretty good.

@BNSFGP38 4 года назад

I have wondered how this would do with a load on it, I was not dissapointed. Wish I had this one day on the 149 loader, I am pretty sure I was working in oatmeal. The left side chain though is hitting your weight carrier bracket.

@@Isavetractors need to widen blade a foot

@muhtesemicatlar6467 3 года назад

Süper machina

@heathersanborn4914 4 года назад

Maybe a wider blade or some heavy rubber wings ? Sure seems to have the traction, dose the hydraulic system for the blade have a "float " setting so it doesn't want to lift the front end and helps with steering, sweet rigs nonetheless

@Isavetractors 4 года назад

Yea I need to get some longer hydraulic lines to plug into the side that has the float function. Originally I was going to dozing dirt so I put the lift on the side without the float. More tweaks need to be done to this. But it's a head turner!

@philipunderwood477 4 года назад

how about v-bar chains on the front tires for better traction and steering control? Maybe spray down the blade with silicone or install a poly sheet to help roll the snow? Cool tractor and great build - just moves a bit slow to really roll snow off a plow blade.

@Isavetractors 4 года назад

Yea my wife was being very cautious driving it. It can plow at twice the speed.

Wounding if something like that would work on a John deere 714 zero turn for more traction for snow.
