Need to cut the fan shroud. Noisy. Some body mount moved.

20 min quick plow. Not sure if I could avoid spoil piles if I took 30 but they don’t much matter. It’s 30 for a more thorough job but it snowed 2 more inches while I was plowing so F it.

Wishing for a sled and loving this weather.

ZJ got stuck today me being dumb trying not to push snow at the RAM and avoid falling off the RTI wall

tractor 3 point was nice to just chain to the hitch and lift, drive away with it in N  haha

Also nice to have a Tractor that cold starts 100% fine



moving snow with tractor is painfully slow though, did that last week to clear lower door.  meh

Snowplow is MUCH faster! Tractor only useful to stack snow or push back piles.

I hung a plow blade on the front of my tractor off the bucket.  Its nice to be able to adjust height and tilt and angle.   Also to be able to push snow up into big piles.

All issues were low volts. Probably in combination with terrible wiring, high resistance grounds, and god knows what other fire risks…

“ready”.

moved this into the shop in case there was any snow from this most recent storm. plow pump runs but it will only move down. not left right nor up.

beginning to see why people put plows on daily driven new trucks lol

I suspect it’s the wiring between the controller and solenoids. I’d suspect solenoid power supply except it does drop. Thankfully I had parked it in the air.  Hopefully take a look at it tonight
